Way of Overlord-Chapter 450: The Crowd of People

The dust settles down to the ground, the horses stop neighing and the warriors behind him all control their horses so that it would run in front of their lord.

The Kan has returned!

Aeryon look at the sky and he takes a deep breath.

He closes his eyes and breathe the morning air.

Opening it, he sees the expanse of the Steppe and could not help but smile

"It is beautiful every time" Aeryon has been in this world for about a year.

He has climatized himself and he has familiarize himself with the culture and ways of this world.

And while some things has become familiar and no longer so novel for him, the sight of the expanse of the Steppe just after dawn is still as beautiful and as enchanting as ever.

Sometimes, he wonder whether this feeling is his feeling or the feeling of the original Aeryon.

He believes it is the feeling of them both.

They know

The first light of dawn is now just stretching its light across the endless expanse of the Steppe

The horizon is beautiful, in hues of amber and crimson.

There is the grass swaying left and right, Tayaks walking lazily around the grazing area outside the city, horses and goats could be seen in the distance.

Behind him is his warband. Though this time, they come here bearing caravans after caravans of war spoil.

"Mayeux plan is quite comprehensive" Aeryon could not help but chuckles to himself.

If Xiahou Cao has Xun Yu, he has Mayeux. No one knows yet who is Xiahou Cao but that man would not remain unknown later.

He is basically Cao Cao of this world.

Mayeux is his Xun Yu. When he fight, he would protect his rear, make sure his supply lines did not go bust

Aeryon look at the city gate that is slowly being opened; he could hear the shouts screaming his title

"I never thought I would have such a welcome" this time he feels it even more.

In the past, when he returns after a victory, his tribe would also cheer him and his warriors.

But at that time his tribe is really small.

Now, tens of thousands of men and women and all kinds of tribes and clans are inside his city and eve outside the city.

If he just look near the city walls, there is some clans pitching up a tent and some lives near the city.

These are allies tribe and wandering tribes that come here to trade.

Some of the rich but small tribe come with a moving tribe, moving tents and a few hundred horses and Tayaks to trade.

Before Aeryon even came to the city, Mayeux has planned everything out.

There is a squad below the wall, ready to pounce at any attacker that would dare come near the Kan from the sides.

All of those tents and camps outside of the city are not all allies.

Some might be spies from other tribes and some might be tribe that have grudges against the Kan.

These defensive squad are all there to make sure that when Aeryon does reach the city, there is no shocking action by any outsiders.

Aeryon is returning home to his tribe, a victorious conqueror.

He ride his horse to come slowly to the city gate.

Creak!

BOOM!

The city gate is now opened completely. It is the morning and it is the time when trader from outside would come into the city to trade.

Today however, these merchants caravan must delay themselves.

There is high military presence and the Kan himself shows his presence.

Unless you want to be suspected as the enemy of the Brolgadhr tribe, they know they need to make themselves scarce.

The entire tribe is gathering around the city gates to greet him.

He controls his horse as he look at the road.

Before he came, the slaves has already sweep the ground.

He look at his left and right.

There is warriors clad in leather.

Some are more flamboyant than the others.

Aeryon even see one warrior wearing the hide of a lion. Who knows where that warriors buys that lion hide?

All of them seem eager to let themselves be seen by him

Maybe, they wanted to sell their services to him. Then he look on other side of the of the road.

He sees some elders and some he recognizes.

People he would endearingly call grandfather when he was young.

To these elders, he nods his head and smiles and wave

In the eyes of the elders, there is pride.

The glory of the Brolgadhr resurrected under Aeryon the son of Rakarys....with such a deed and merit, how could they not be proud?

In only one year and a half, he had brought more glory to the tribe than in the past hundreds of years of the formation of the tribe.

The Kan of the South. A ruler who has ten thousand horses and ten thousand men that could be ordered to ride the Steppe

Some are nodding proudly. Unlike the warriors who is more boisterous, the elders that look at this processions has a wistful expression on their face

Some shed a tear.

The glory of the Brolgadhr will continue to shine!

There is women adorned in vibrant garments and some sings the song of celebration praising the Earth Mother and the River Goddess

Some sings the songs of their religions.

Some shows their beauty.

And some of them whistle at him while moving their body and some shows him some sneak peek of their bodies and other womanly allure.

Mature women with mature body. In this world, thirty is already considered old.

The relationship between men and women in the Steppe while it is not entirely free, it is not entirely all that chaste either

You have to be brave to get what you want. Men want beautiful women and women wanted strong men.

If you want it, you have to fight for it. And these mature women look at him with lecherous gaze.

And it is not rude at ball.

One has desires.

While one must not act on every desire, one should not lie to one desire either

Beast are a slave to desire.

But humans controls the desire.

However, one does not need to be hypocritical of their desire.

You could desire things and if it’s wrong, knows that you desire them but control your desire.

Those who could not control their desire and does not know how to see the big picture could not achieve anything great

Of course, if Aeryon wanted to show the demeanour of a great khan he could arrest them, but Aeryon knows that this kind of things is rare.

And in the end, he did all of this just to raise his prestige and his popularity among his own people

If he started arresting people simply because some women shows their appreciation to him, he could even be considered petty which is contrary to the purpose of all of this.

Some are young women looking at him with admiration. Who knows whether the admiration is real or just faked to get his attention?

Aeryon has only one wife right now.

Even his uncle has more wives than him.

As for his father, most of his wife dies young and so when he is born, he is the undisputed heir to the tribe with his mother dying shortly after his birth

Many of this young women is women he knows. Some of them are the young women of the Tuoba. Some of them are from Murong

Some of them are from the elders

Their daughters and unmarried women is brought out

Isn’t it because they wanted to target the position beside mine. To be one of my wives? Bringing them in is easy. It is getting them out that would be a headache. Since it would surely be a headache, there is no need right now for him to add wives.

If he would add wives, it would be the one he has been thinking about. Wins him the world and win him people, and he would marry such woman.

"Are they celebrating me for my victory or asking me be to be The Bachelor?" Aeryon thought to himself and he held himself back from laughing

There are some children.

Some of them sat on the shoulders of their father, while some look starry eyed looking at the procession of horses and warriors.

To the child of the Steppe, nothing is more cool than being a warrior of the tribe.

Because not only it represented some kind of freedom, it is also the only method to rise in ranks, to have food and drink and to have the chance someday to do great deeds that would be told among the tribes.

The crowd cheers and shout.

The adoration is the same, only the scale this time is bigger

"Aeryon! Aeryon! Aeryon!"

"The Kan! The Kan!"

Those who shouted his name, are his relatives and the original Brolgadhr tribe members.

Those who shouted his title are the new tribesmen or the conquered people under him

Aeryon look at the crowd.

And while he is tempted to show some expression, he knows how first impression is everything, and he wanted to show them, that he is the right leader for this tribe

his expression is unreadable, a mask of stoic authority and charisma
