Way of Overlord-Chapter 412: Shocking the Heavens

Aeryon himself could use this time to reorganize the military, giving the titles and promotion to increase the morale and shows that he is not all talk

make sure that the command of the army is not separated from the main command.

After all, in just a few weeks, Aeryon had expanded the land and his influence.

The nomads that passes by through the Brolgadhr tribe all could see that Aeryon is establishing borders and even though there is no walls, and there is no soldiers lining up in this invisible borders, one would know when they enter the territory of the Brolgadhr tribe.

The settlement all over the regions that Aeryon now controlled should also be listed and summarized.

Another wave of recruitment would bolster Aeryon ranks.

With his victory against Wustkazan, there would be many more warriors that would see that Aeryon has the chance to become the final winner.

This is what it means to have the heart of the people

The people that matters in this era are nothing more than the warriors.

It is a bit cruel to say it but that is the truth.

The common people power at this era is the lowest, life is like grass for them, and only the strong and the smart could survive.

The common people rights are even more trampled in Yan where they have been domesticated for four hundred years by the Yan dynasty.

In the Steppe, the power of the chief and its influence upon its people is even more powerful than even the kings in Yan dynasty.

Because unlike the Yan dynasty, the chief did not have to use benevolent method to pacify the rebellious population

Of course, this does not mean that there is punishment every day and all the chief treated the common people like cattle

Because as much as the common people of the Steppe support the chief, the chief also needed the support of its people.

Rarely though that such terrible punishment would be levied unless one is supporting for rebellion or treason to the chief.

Not to mention in some tribes, the people could even have more power than the chief where the warriors, especially the one with the righteous heart would stand up for the people and confront the chief.

In a way it is a bit different than in the Steppe that Aeryon lived.

Because in this world, warriors, especially people who usually get the title of Great Warriors are humans that seems to have almost supernatural strength.

One person could fight a hundred men.

Durka, the chief of Duhai tribe even though he is old could still raise his sword and fight almost a hundred people and win.

Great warriors could change the trend of battle especially in small scale battlefield. In Yan there is also great warriors like Dugu Yi and Jiang Yu

But the trend of the battle in the Great Steppe is changing.

Aeryon now have tens of thousands of horses, and tens of thousands of men, his influence reaching the west, north and on the east, his invisible presence could be felt with alliances and secret deals that may have been brokered.

The tribe itself is expanding and did not seem to stop.

For Great Warriors that wanted fame and fortune and power, Aeryon tribe is the stage where they could get all of this.

And these warriors also knows when to place the bet.

If they place the bet later, when Aeryon is already the undisputed winner, could they still have the merit of following the Kan?

They should go now before Aeryon become bigger, offer their talent and service and create immortal accomplishment with the Kan.

In the past when Aeryon defeated the tribes along the lower south, many warriors in the lower south would come to the Brolgadhr tribe and offer their allegiance and service.

But even then there is only a few great warriors that would deign to serve under the Kan.

Because at that time, no one thought that Aeryon would be as big as he is today.

Now, after taking down Wustkazan, the general situation could be seen.

Aeryon probably would one day would have to fight all the tribes in the Southern Great Steppe.

Either some tribe submits or fight to the death

To the warriors, this is not a weakness.

Instead, it is an advantage. Without a war to fight, there is no chance to make a merit. But merit is not the only reason why great warriors would come and serve Aeryon

It is also because everyone could see Aeryon ambition. And the higher the ambition, they higher the tree, the more branches they could perch on.

For a great warrior under a chief, there usually only be a few position where one could hold the title of a Great Warrior. The reason is because most tribes are small. Even the largest tribe usually only have ten or fifteen great warriors. And even though their title is the great warrior, the army that they are assigned to only a few hundred men.

But look at Aeryon. Belarion alone theoretically could lead ten thousand men if Aeryon allowed it.

Most of the general of the Kan could all lead a thousand men when they marched out for battle

The ambition of the Kan is big.

And big means there is more position for them.

Any ambitious great warrior all want power, fame and fortune.

And so, as the news of Wustkazan fall and the news of Mayeux managing to convince Sordkazan tribe to take Kazan tribe, everyone could see now.....the general trend that is forming

And that general trend is about to solidify.

Even though Aeryon did not yet have the west under his control, everyone knows that there is great relations between the Brolgadhr tribe and the Khagai tribe.

Even though he did not yet move to the north or to the east, the influence of the Kan is enough to even crowned him King.

With such a large area of control and with such an army, Aeryon could even move South and conquer the northern region of the Yan dynasty.

And that is a compliment to his perceived strength by the people of the Great Steppe.

The most powerful tribe in the Southern Great Steppe is now undisputed.

In terms of land, territory and army, there is no rival for the Brolgadhr in the nearest area around them

Of course, this di not include the Vihur tribe network of alliances or the Cha Ner Ul Alliance or even the resistance that might form if Aeryon move to the east.

But if one look at the power of only one tribe and compared it simply to the power of another tribe, there is no other tribe that now possess as much strength as the Brolgadhr in the Southern Great Steppe.

The Brolgadhr tribe right now, might have the ability to be able to sweep the entire Southern Great Steppe yet, but it is not far from that.

The only way to destroy or even halt Aeryon advancement right now would be to create a coalition of tribe to resist him, just like the far northern tribe in the Northern Great Steppe would do when they are facing an enemy too strong for one tribe to defeat

But the division between each tribe, the blood feud with each tribe makes this coalition hard top be formed.

Maybe, this is destiny.

For if Aeryon was in any other place in the Steppe other than the Southern Great Steppe, the moment Aeryon become this big, some chief will gather the other chief and create a coalition to resist him

This is destiny and fortune. And sometimes the world is weird like that. One could open the pages of the history book and see some time that a rise of a person to power is almost like it was destined to be.

A commoner turned emperor, a beggar monk turned emperor, a revitalizer that had the stars aligned to help them

Sometimes life is weird like that. It is so absurd that if you write it in a story, people would not believe it because it is so fantastical.

Luck that defies convention

And a week after the destruction of the Kazan and Wustkazan tribe, another news arrive from the west that shook the Southern Great Steppe

Khagai tribe defeated all of the Bolghar tribe in one battle!

The Khagai tribe decided the matter of the west in one battle!

Ota become famous all over the Great Steppe, shocking the four corners of the Great Steppe!

Valgrun strategy shocks the heaven and Earth!

.....

The news shakes the Southern Great Steppe and changes the whole power structure in the Southern Great Steppe.

Every chief that got the news could not believe it. None of them could believe that Bolghar tribe, one of the biggest tribe in the west is so easily defeated.

And defeated in one battle.

That breaks the Bolghar tribe.

The further away they are from the west, the more they wanted to know about what had happened. Messengers were sent to the west to inquire about the matter.

Some even boldly declare that this is the emergence of a new warlord in the west. There is Dama, Aeryon, Chadha and now there is Valgrun

Warlords that ruled one side of the world and could be crowned King.

Everyone wonders what will happen after this.

Cha Ner UI Alliance, what would they do?

Would their plans of separating the west from the other parts succeed? What about Aeryon who have great ambitions in his heart?

What would Khagai tribe do that now they defeated the largest tribe on the western border?

Everyone is curious about what will happen.
