Way of Overlord-Chapter 463: A Fiery Obsession

Then the result of the battle was spread and the Utgard tribe learned that Aeryon had managed to defeat the Wustkazan tribe.

When the Kan was busy in Wustkazan, in the Utgard tribe itself, there is new chaos brewing.

This chaos is not something that even Garron could have expected.

And it started with Ogura.

Ogura is the oldest son of Garron.

From a very young age, Ogura had been raised in the ways of war. He is trained by the warriors of the tribe and follow them hunting to the far north

When he was only ten years old, he managed to follow the Great Warrior of the tribe to the snowy white plains in the north.

Garron treat this son of his quite harsh.

But it is also because he wanted to raise him strong. In the Steppe, if you are not strong you are swallowed.

And he grows up to become a very hash and strong warrior.

But as the Utgard tribe grows bigger, Garron seems to be more fond of Sayushi

Garron has seven legitimate children.

He has three daughters and four sons.

The daughters are Sayin, Likaiea and Ayera.

Sayin is the eldest daughter and the oldest out of all seven children.

She is married to the Kazan.

It is precisely because of this that the Utgard and the Kazan allayed with each other.

After the death of the Kazan tribe, and the area being held by Sordkazan, Sordkazan sent back Sayin back to the Utgard tribe and even wanted to held the old agreement between the Kazan and Sordkazan

The third daughter is Likaiea and the youngest of all the seven children.

She is about to be married next year and her spouse would be one of the chief or the sons of the chief.

As for the second daughter, she is the fourth child

And this second daughter is also the daughter Garron love the most. Ayera the wife of the Kan of Brolgadhr

As for his four sons, there is Ogura as the second child but the eldest son.

There is Sayushi, the third children, the second son. Barbager, the fifth children , the third son. Yonwa the sixth children, the fourth son.

[To make it simple to the readers: Sayin(F), Ogura, Sayushi, Ayera(F), Barbager, Yonwa and Likaiea (F)]

Ogura is always expected to take the tribe leadership.

He was born for it and he was trained for it

But when Utgard breaks the barrier around them and began expanding, Garron seems to favour Sayushi.

Garron even give Sayushi the opportunity to lead the tribe when Garron was not around.

At that time, Garron was summoned to the Brolgadhr tribe for a meeting and it was because of that Garron let Sayushi lead the tribe in his stead even though Ogura should be the one doing that on his father behalf.

Ogura did not say anything to his father decision at that time.

But his expression did sour.

But no one would have thought what happens that day, sow a seed that would bloom into a tragedy.

As for Ogura, in that same meeting, he was told to go to Kazan to meet Sayin and call upon Kazan as an ally.

This matter did not end well, considering how Kazan tribe get decimated on the east.

But the matter did benefit the tribe in the form they now control most of Rudya.

Ogura...probably at that time, the seed of dissatisfaction has already been sown and it only need someone to pour water on that seed for it to bloom

And then there is Barbager.

Barbager is not like Ogura.

He is quite filial and he is more of a warrior than a schemer

Barbager went to Dayan

It was supposed to be a diplomatic mission

A gift to the aging chief of Dayan

The task for Barbager was to assess the situation of Dayan and if Dayan appears weak, then the Utgard tribe could use that to attack the,

If Dayan is strong, they will consolidate their strength, wait for the opportune moment and then strike.

But during that time, many things happen.

And diplomatic mission does not end in one day

All kinds of news fly all over the Steppe from Kazan destruction, to Aeryon conquest of Wustkazan tribe.

Dayan itself did not have time to entertain guest especially when that guest identity is very sensitive

Ogura was basically forced to return to the tribe because of the sudden changes in the Southern Great Steppe.

And it was then that he begins hearing something among the people.

And that is some people said that Ogura is not Garron real son.

That his blood was tainted

If Garron has quashed this rumour early, then the subsequent event would not have happened.

But, he remained silent on this matter

Was it because he wanted to train his son? Or was it because he wanted to replace Ogura?

Ogura seems like a stupid warrior but he was quite adept in politics and knows where to draw the line frёewebηovel.cѳm

The relationship between brothers are also not that strained.

But Garron is old.

And old people sometimes do inexplicable things

Garron did not say anything about the rumour. And this rumours does have some credence to it.

When Garron was young, his wife, Ogura mother did get abducted by some small tribe. At that time Utgard tribe itself is a small tribe and not like today. At that time, Utgard had just settled in the Southern Great Steppe.

The one that abducted Ogura mother held her for a week before Garron manage toa assemble a force powerful enough to take back his wife.

Nine months later Ogura was born. Even Ogura could not deny this matter because everyone knows about this matter. It could not even be hidden

But was this the truth?

Probably not.

If Garron has any doubt of Ogura lineage, he would probably mentioned it before and if he even have the slightest doubt of Ogura lineage, he would never have taught so many things.,

But the actions he had taken make this rumours become even more credible.

To some people, maybe Garron had realized something and that is why he favour Sayushi and seemingly demoting Ogura.

The rumours become even more preposterous.

And even Ogura himself feel shaken.

Ogura had always felt that his father would replace him with Sayushi

And he believes that this rumours is a rumour that his own father had spread so that it could taint his legitimacy and give a road for Sayushi to sit at the seat

In the past, Utgard tribe is very unified.

Small tribes are like this.

They know everyone and everyone rise and fall depends on each other

But the Utgard tribe today, has become big.

It is not as big as the Brolgadhr or the large tribes on the north, but it big nonetheless.

The Rudya tribe and all the tribe in the Rudya territory are already under Utgard.

Now, that Utgard has risen like this, the interest has also diverged and different people have different desire.

Ogura is not getting younger

And Garron is getting older

The resentment festered. His father begins playing with him like he is a chess on a chessboard.

And he also see that his father is weakening. His father did not have the ambition to expand nor did he have the ambition to conquer the world

His father ambition from the beginning has always been to return to the Central Great Steppe and revive back the Utgard tribe that once ruled the Central Steppe.

Ogura believe this is a delusional dream.

Not only the force required to make this dream reality is insufficient, most people of Utgard regarded the Southern Great Steppe their home now.

Anyway, for the people of the Steppe, as long as they are in the Steppe, it did not matter whether it be in the Central or the other four corners of the Steppe.

And his ambition could destroy the current Utgard tribe.

This point of contention become the source of conflict between this father and son.

Garron wanted to return to the Central Steppe and Ogura argued that by doing so, we would leave the tribe already promising condition to chase of some past legacy.

Garron instead said if they brought tens of thousands of soldiers to the Central Great Steppe, they could create a foundation there and the name of Utgard could be called again which would inspire some loyalist.

But Ogura countered saying, that the soldiers of Utgard might not want to migrate to the Central Steppe and start again

Not to mention, if there ever was so many loyalist, how could have the Utgard tribe been forced to be exiled and went to the South?

It is precisely because there was no loyalist that the Utgard tribe was exiled and abandoned by the tribes of the Central Great Steppe.

Garron has never been a stupid person and has always been wise in his conduct. But even the wisest can make mistake.

Garron has an obsession to return to the Central Steppe but not all people inherit this obsession.
