Way of Overlord-Chapter 427: Appointing Someone

Aeryon is now in his tent.

Another two days has passed since the Nogai chief has returned back to his tribe. It all goes according to plan.

By now, the chief of Dayan and Yindir and the other tribes in the north has probably at least heard the rumour of what happen to the Nogai tribe chief.

Jayeux has also been escorted out from the settlements. Aeryon had always thought that Jayeux would ask him to send him to the East so that he could meet Dama

Instead, he wanted to go to Yan. After he arrived safely at Yan, whether to help Jayeux or to return back to the tribe, Aeryon gives permission for his warriors to choose either way.

And he even said to Jayeux if Jayeux could convince them to work for him, then Aeryon would not take heart at this. It depends on his ability.

If he really could convince those people to work for him, that is Jayeux ability. As for those that would return, Aeryon knows that they could trusted.

Everything seems to have been done

But Aeryon did not yet return to the Brolgadhr tribe.

the resistance of the Wustkazan tribe has also lessened. Some of these resister has migrated toward the Sordkazan tribe.

And some has surrendered to him

Xiwanu and Lughan has surrendered to him yesterday. A fight and a battle ensues and they are convinced and surrenders to him.

The most happiest thing was that after they surrendered, they brought along with them soldiers and horses so suddenly Aeryon gained around three thousand more men and three thousand more horses.

Aeryon has already entertained them with banquets and give them high position.

They brought soldiers and horses and their ability is recognized by both the Brolgadhr tribe and the Wustkazan tribe so giving them high position did not give them any backlash.

Aeryon believe that many Kazan people would no longer be so aversive to integrate with the current rule of the Brolgadhr tribe after this.

It is a pity though that Cahya and Chulun and that spear guy did not choose to s surrender to him but instead they go to the Sordkazan chief Karnain and surrender to them

It is a pity that they could not serve under him.

Cahya and Chulun is the same as Lughan and Xiwanu but they also have their own specialties and Aeryon has been excited thinking that they would surrender to him

When he find out from Xiwanu that Cahya and Chulun and that spear guy already was riding toward Karnain to surrender to him, Aeryon could not help but lament that he had lost a great talent to conquer the world

Of course, these two days is not used to lament and complained. Instead, Aeryon has been preparing to leave the north and goes back to the south.

Now, everything is almost complete.

On the west, there is the Cha Ner Ul Alliance creating a wall.

They would not attack Wustkazan area that is now occupied with Brolgadhr not just after they have won a great victory.

They also need to recuperate.

And if they do dare attack Wustkazan area, then Khagai tribe would not miss the opportunity to attack them from behind.

And can Chadha convince the chief of Ultar and Nergui to attack to the west right now? That is debatable. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

They have won and they need to recuperate and they need to divide the spoils. It is an alliance and Chadha could not control them with force.

At times, his words could move tens of thousands of horsemen from three tribes. But at times, his words could be nothing but just winds that passes through one ears.

Then on the east, there is only Dayan and Utgard tribe that borders the new borders of Brolgadhr.

Utgard tribe attacking Wustkazan area that is now occupied by Aeryon is just out of the question.

It does not make sense if they try to attack the occupied area. Before, they did not break relation with Aeryon.

Now that Aeryon is stronger, they would be even more reluctant to break this alliance.

As for Dayan, Norgai would attack that tribe maybe in a week or so there is no problem from the east attacking this newly conquered area

North, West, East all have an obstacle for Aeryon enemies to surmount to attack this new region. As for the lower south, he controls it so he did not have to worry

Even in the worst-case scenario where this region falls to enemy hands, Aeryon forces could always retreat to the south and stage a counterattack

"This is safe enough in terms of external problem" Aeryon thought to himself.

Aeryon had just finished his bath and after finishing his bath, he goes back to his tent and wear thin clothes and thin pants.

Even though it is spring, the coldness of the winter still could be felt

But Aeryon instead of wearing thick coats and thick pants, adopted a thinner clothes. He is simply trying to train his body right now

Then instead of going to the training grounds, he went back to his tent and wrote a few things in the parchments

Most of his offices could not read so it is not like he wanted to give this parchment to his warriors.

Instead, this writing is more for himself so that he could remind himself and organize his thoughts

"Everything is going smoothly right now" Aeryon did not think everything would go this smoothly when he first thought of expanding his rule

Even in his most positive outlook of his own strategy, he never expected that Khagai could break through Bolghar tribe in one battle, he did not expect Kazan would go down to the lower east and attack Estkazan.

He never expected Dama would betray Kazan tribe and then wipe out two of the branches of the Kazan tribe in just a few weeks and the shocking thing of all, the secret surrender of the Nogai tribe to him

The twist and turns and in the end it benefited him the most.

Because he is the strongest in the lower south and the weakness of others is but a meal prepared for him to devour.

First mover advantage, Aeryon thought to himself.

Everything is falling down towards him.

"It would be faster than I thought"

But now the reason why he is here in his tent and not outside looking at the men training or training himself is that he needs to make sure that everything is stable in this northern area before returning back to the south

And the first one that he needs to do is to appoint a trusted governor or overseer.

Aeryon does have a desire to separate the regions of Brolgadhr into sections that makes it more manageable but for now, he needs to appoint someone here as a leader to manage this area.

Most of the region of Brolgadhr is close to the city of Brolgadhr and from there Aeryon could effectively govern.

Even if it’s a little far away, with horses, the travel and the message could be sent faster.

Aeryon already establish communications channels, setting up systems of messenger and signal beacon to maintain contact between the further region of his conquered area and his base

One of the first thing he did after taking over Wustkazan area was to establish this. In the past conquest and occupying process, to establish the communication channels so that it could be quickly set up took a long time

But the people under him has now been accustomed to it and the communication channels is up and running only after a week

That is fast compared to the beginning.

That is why he could quickly read messages from Mayeux and Mayeux could read his responses quickly.

But now, he wanted to think of who he should appoint as his overseer of this region.

Aeryon also decided to give this person the title of Noyan if he is not already a Noyan.

This way, this overseer could recruit more Steppe warriors without breaking the law that Aeryon had stipulated

There is only a few people he trusted to serve him as the overseer of this region

He did think of giving it to Lughan or Xiwanu.

This would show people that he trusted them.

But he thought out of it.

Not because he doesn’t trust those two.

He doesn’t trust the people below those two

Now, the people of Kazan did not have any resistance toward his rule.

But that is because Brolgadhr tribe is so powerful and Aeryon himself is here.

And their power is weak and their influence is even weaker.

But if Aeryon give Xiwanu and Lughan the power to recruit more people, while that may increase the soldiers that he could use, there is a possibility that these Kazan, who have an identity of their own would persuade their leader to rebel

And Aeryon knows sometime when you are sitting in a position of power, there are things you must do even if you don’t want to

So, the candidate is narrowed down to three.

Mukhulai, Burchu and Belarion
