Way of Overlord-Chapter 413: An Old Ashana

The news first revealed that Khagai tribe defeated around thirty thousand men of the Bolghar tribe.

Some of the reports said that it was forty thousand men.

Whatever the true number of the dead, it is a massive army that the west had not seen for almost a century.

And this massive army that is gathered by the Bolghar tribe was defeated and eradicated in one battle.

Hence the news become Khagai tribe defeated all of the Bolghar tribe in one battle!

But how did Ota become famous all over the Great Steppe? How did Valgrun strategy shocks the heaven and earth?

Ota has always bene known as a famous warrior in the Southern Great Steppe.

Though he was mostly recognized in the west, when he participated in the siege of Nurshira, that is where his name gained its reputation as a warrior that is compared to Belarion, the God Incarnate.

The reason is because the style and demeanour of Ota is very similar to Belarion. When they are fighting they have this belief that they could never be defeated.

But even so, his fame and even Belarion fame did not yet reach the whole of the Great Steppe.

But in this battle between Bolghar and the Khagai tribe, Ota did something that surely would earn him his name as a legend in the Great Steppe.

Even if he died today, his tale would surely survives.

Ota challenge thirteen of the Great Warriors of the Bolghar tribe.

And he defeated all of them!

Bolghar was camped near the valley and not far away is the Khagai camp.

When these two camps both send exploratory forces without any progress, Ota volunteered himself to challenge the Great Warriors of the Bolghar tribe.

From what people were saying, Ota rides his horse alone to the center of the battlefield. Not too close to his camp, not too far from Bolghar camp.

The middle point between the two camp of the two tribes. Standing there, like a wall.

And there, he shouted

"I challenge the Great Warrior of the Bolghar!"

His shout alone reverberated across the valley. And at first Bolghar did not send any of his warriors.

Why? Because Ota is a famous warriors.

And since he began his rise to fame in Nurshira, he has never been defeated.

He is like Belarion of the Brolgadhr.

Since the Battle of Nurshira, he had never lost.

In the past before his name risen, he had probably lose a few battle here and there

But that did not matter.

After all, even the most powerful person start out weak.

A cub.

Then a wolf.

And then a fierce wolf.

Rarely there is people who become fierce wolf from birth

Ota was there looking at the camp of the Bolghar tribe and then Ota simply said

"Is there no man in the Bolghar tribe?" Ota simply stand there on his horse, waiting for anyone to accept his challenge.

Even though Bolgharu himself could endure this kind of insult, but the people below him could not.

One of the Great Warrior of the Bolghar took to his horse and ride toward the middle point.

Bolghar tribe is one of the biggest tribe in the west.

Arguably the biggest.

And as such they have a pool of many great talents.

Most of the Great Warriors of the Bolghar are all above the rest of other tribes in the west of the Southern Great Steppe.

The reason is because they fend off the invaders from Zhou dynasty.

Thye learned their methods and they learned how to counter it.

And because of that, most of the horsemen of the Bolghar tribe wears armours.

And not only that most of them are invincible in battle, some of them are renowned in the tribe for their strength

Some for their skill. And some for their fierce loyalty to the tribe.

And there is thirteen of them.

And they are called the Thirteen Shields of Bolghar.

They could attack and they could lead army.

But their most powerful traits is their ability to defend.

One of them rush forward.

That one rush, raise his spear and before he could even make a scratch on Ota red armour, he was cut down into two by Ota big glaive.

It is like the Horse Cutter sword.

But in Ota hands the big glaive that should take five people to raise and ten people strength to easily wield it, is easily used by him like he is using the most lightest of weapon.

The man and the horse was split into two in an uneven manner.

The horse bone was cut so cleanly like it is some kind of dark magic.

The man did not even realize that he has been cut into two before, their body slowly slides off from the other part

The sight is gory and terrifying to say the least.

These warriors of the Bolghar is called the Thirteen Shields. The reason is because they are good at defending. But they seem to forget that.

Maybe because they have fought before and their battle is usually won, they forgot that their best trait is defending.

When they defend, they created a formation using their weapons to entrap any warriors that is coming inside their formation.

Sometimes , they uses it individually sometimes they use their units

It is a way of dealing with overpowered generals and warriors.

But once they abandon their strength and fight using their weakness, Ota uses only one strike to tell the world, that the domination of this warrior from the west is just beginning.

At that time Bolgharu must not have known the reason why Ota suddenly issue a declaration of challenge

The reason is simple.

To prepare the strategy that would shock heaven and earth.

Mayeux suggested to Valgrun to make sure that they fight near the valley of Bolghar. Why? Because Mayeux has already created a plan.

The plan itself is beautiful and wonderful and could destroy the main force of the Bolghar tribe.

However, plans could not keep up with the situation.

Mayeux plans is wonderful but certain area that should have been occupied by them is already occupied by the Bolghar forces.

And these valleys was crucial to Mayeux plans. Without these valleys, Valgrun could not create the same kind of situation that Mayeux wanted to create.

But Valgrun is never the kind of person that would just give up. After all, the current situation and the current battle had reached to the point that giving up is as equivalent as death.

The gods helps those who helps themselves

Valgrun himself was surveying the area a few days before that battle that would shock the Southern Great Steppe. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

And it was at this time, that he heard a rumour from some small chief of a small clan of an Ashana.

This Ashana is widely respected around here.

But if that is the only case, Valgrun would not be that interested in this Ashana. After all, he also has his own Ashana back home

However, this Ashana is said to have bear a grudge against the chief of Bolghar.

It is said in the past, the Ashana come to their tribe, asking for some small meagre of food for some children

The children ae the chairmen of the western border tribes. Their father and their family died fighting against the Zhou dynasty.

The Ashana pities these children and wanted to do some good. When he goes around the tribes of the western border, all of them whether they despise him or not, all give him a bit of food as respect and as the rule of hospitality dictates.

After all, the Ashana did not ask for too many and he did not come to small tribes and small clans and he did not come to tribes that could not afford it.

However, when he goes to the Bolghar tribe, he was called a beggar and was treated like some kind of trash.

This Ashana prophesied that the Bolghar would fall the day a Great Rain flooded the West. Which is as absurd as the sun coming out from the west.

Because even though there is the stream of the Empatarah river, there would never be a flood that would be able to destroy the tribe

Storms, tornadoes, all of this is possible.

But not, flood.

That is mostly the problem of Yan dynasty and not the Great Steppe problem.

This Ashana is then expelled from the Bolghar tribe.

If this is just a simple case of some Ashana being expelled and get miffed by the bad treatment of a chief, how could Valgrun search for him?

The reason why Valgrun spare no effort in finding this Ashana is because he knows this Ashana. Since he was little. Sinc ethe time of his father and his father before and him and even his father before that

And Valgrun even knows the name of this Ashana

This Ashana is called Zad.

He is famous Ashana. One might think that he is famous for his benevolence and generosity but that is not the case.

This Ashana is said to have lived for almost two hundred years.
