Way of Overlord-Chapter 411: Weakening Future Enemies

Even in the case that the Utgard tribe won, they would not be able to compete with the Brolgadhr inherent advantage where they have large area of control.

Even if Utgard could take back the Kazan area, there is still to many things that could go wrong.

And to fight and destroy the Brolgadhr tribe with the strength of one tribe, especially an outsider tribe like Utgard would be an uphill battle.

It would be a long and protracted war and knowing how cunning Mayeux is, he would surely take some advantage to make sure that even if the Utgard won the first few fights, in the end, the war would be won by the Brolgadhr tribe. Not to mention the Utgard tribe objective is different from the Brolgadhr tribe objective.

Not to mention that it is rightful for a branch of Kazan descendant to take Kazan land.

Altai, Nurkazan and Dayan tribe which also borders the Kazan old area could object.

But they do not have any sufficient reason to object.

Altai has no ties with the Kazan tribe.

It would be weird if this tribe suddenly wanted to say that he wanted to protect Kazan tribe.

As for Nurkazan, they have always been low profile.

And while they did some moves after Aeryon become active in the lower south, they are not aggressive.

If they wanted to fish in troubled waters and increase their reputation, at least when Aeryon destroyed Wustkazan, they should have sent a messenger to rebuke him.

But there was nothing from Nurkazan tribe.

Not even a peep

Dayan tribe is also not qualified to object.

So, Sordkazan suddenly take Kazan land and now a problem is posed by this sudden change of the world.

Those soldiers of Wustkazan that has been defeated, could they now go to Sordkazan chief?

Could they trust this chief of the Kazan? After all, this Kazan chief accepted the help of the Brolgadhr tribe. The remnants and survivors of the Kazan tribe massacre might be able to be saved if they go to Sordkazan tribe and ask for shelter.

But would that chief give that same treatment of hospitality towards them?

No, probably not. So where could all of these warriors of the Kazan that has been defeated could go?

They either surrender or go far away to Nurkazan or to the west.

Hence, many chief did not feel it would take long before the Kan would take full control of the Wustkazan area.

And Aeryon is no longer the only fierce wolf in the Steppe right now.

Dama might have won with treachery, but he has won.

In the end, Dama could not be judged by common sense.

Common sense dictates that he should have honoured his agreement and promise with the Kazan. Instead, he devours Kazan tribe in the east, take over Estkazan, and Sordkazan lands

Esbizuk suddenly expanded to a large tribe.

They expanded double fold from population to resources

Esbizuk control the lands of the Lushar tribe, the Kyara tribe, the Estkazan tribe and the Sordkazan tribe.

Aeryon put Sordkazan to rule the area of the Kazan basically creating a buffer state between Utgard on the northeast border.

But on the southeast border of Utgard, they are now bordering the Esbizuk tribe.

Mayeux has a conspiracy and this conspiracy could be seen by wise men of the world. And what is the conspiracy?

Weakening the neighbouring tribes!

The Kan is right now expanding and the plan seems to be focusing on the west and the north with Wustkazan conquest and the submission of two tribes in the west which is the Zlata and Duhai tribe.

The Kan did not have time or the energy to meddle in the East.

Not the right time.

Mayeux crafted a strategy that not only protected their eastern border but also weakens the will of the tribes that is against Aeryon power.

Utgard is a tribe with a viper with a forked tongue.

They could not be trusted fully.

Even more so before when they have an ally in Kazan tribe. But the Kazan tribe is destroyed and Sordkazan takes its old nest and now Utgard had to rely on Brolgadhr tribe.

Even more so now that they are bordering with Dama.

As for Sordkazan tribe, they now take Kazan tribe old nest.

Mayeux let them go there, it means he has a plan.

He would not raise an enemy to bite back at the Brolgadhr tribe.

And what is the obstacle that the Sordkazan tribe would face if they go to the Kazan tribe.

There is many

There is old factions and old allegiances and it would be hard to stabilize them

In the east, Brolgadhr tribe could still take it easy. If Dama would move toward the west, Brolgadhr tribe would have ample time to get ready.

Dama could not attack toward the west unless they defeated Korun tribe, Utgard tribe and Sordkazan tribe.

Three tribes to halt Esbizuk tribes to even think of going to the west.

If Esbizuk tribe goes to the west without first increasing their strength, they would be consumed by these three tribes and even before they could reach Brolgadhr they would have already been destroyed.

And the reaction of the tribe around these area are all the same

All are wary and no one have any illusion now that the warlords would stop, nor that they have any more fantasy that these warlords would stop

The period of great contention between the chief has begun and no one could stay out of it.

Altai and Timur tribe might also make some moves after seeing what happened to the Kazan tribe.

No one could guess what they would do.

Timur tribe is now bordering the Esbizuk tribe. the same for the Altai tribe.

Timur tribe might follow Esbizuk tried example and subdue the mountain tribes on their east.

Altai tribe might create an alliance with the Timur tried to resists foreign aggression by Esbizuk tribe

Or they might even fight each other. Still, they surely would have made a move.

For people like Mayeux and Aeryon they did not have enough intelligence to know what is happening in the East.

If it something big, yes, they would found out about it.

But for them to know the true intelligence and details of what is happening in the East, they need to send people there. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

And that is not something that Aeryon, Mayeux or the other chief in the Central and Western part of the Southern Great Steppe could do right now.

Even the northern area would not have such intelligence that spans all the south and east

And in all of this fighting, the one that could sit back and reap the rewards is only that tribe. Brolgadhr

Mayeux probably has more in his sleeve but for now, the situation of the Steppe reached a new equilibrium.

Esbizuk tribes cocrystal most of the lower eastern area. As for the upper part, there is still many tribes.

And Mayeux predicted that there will be another strongman that would appear in the upper east after seeing the current wind that is blowing in the Steppe.

Mayeux actually prayed that such strongman would appear. Because he wanted someone to check and balance Dama on the east.

Kazan and Nurkazan tribe area would be a wall that prevent the east from expanding to the west.

This might be Mayeux greatest motivation in allowing Sordkazan chief to occupy the Kazan tribe. They needed an ally that they could trust to hold that position.

And Mayeux would probably not averse to the suggestion of Sordkazan expanding their power and attacking Nurkazan so that the wall could be established.

From top to bottom, there is a wall that would prevent Dama form going to the west

If Mayeux could do this, he would isolate the east and by the time everything is settled in every part of the Southern Great Steppe, the difference in power would be too much for the east to handle.

Mayeux plans might have something to do with containing the east, conquering the west, weakening the north.

Mayeux is a flexible person. Since Aeryon had taken Wustkazan and Kazan tribe was destroyed, he might have made some adjustment to his plans.

Not to mention, the smooth campaign of the Khagai tribe in the west made him see a new possibility to quickly pacify the west and create a new plan

As for the Brolgadhr tribe, it could not have been better

Aeryon has controlled the lower south and is expanding toward the north and extending his influence toward the west using the Khagai tribe battle against the Bolghar.

Now, there is only one thing that Aeryon needs to do. Consolidate, reorganize, and after this is done, they would be like a tightly held shield wall.

The great strategy that Mayeux had concocted is now not only exceeding his expectation but it is even better.

When certain things have its momentum, then nothing could stop it. That is how the Brolgadhr tribe right now

They now not only have the advantage of the location, they also have the advantage of power and advantage of the people hearts

What the Brolgadhr tribe needs to do right now is to take a rest.

But this taking a rest is simply a reorganization.
