Way of Overlord-Chapter 469: The Banner that Brings Fear

For decades, his sworn brother has accompanied him in every battle and supported him in everything he does

Even a rock is melted by dripping water. Garron of course have feeling of affection for Waqu. He treated Waqu like his own family

He knows with the talent of Waqu, if he was in some big tribe, he could make a name for himself becoming a famous warrior of his generation

But, Waqu stays with him all of this time, unable to show his true talent

"Waqu, you should go to Brolgadhr. Look after Ayera. Make sure she still has leverage in that tribe so that the Kan would not abandon her one day" Waqu hearing this is reluctant.

Waqu understand Garron desire for him.

Garron wanted him to survive.

This order is given precisely because Garron could see that he would lose this battle

Garron gives him this kind of order to save him. Ayera did not need his protection. If Aeryon really wanted to abandon Ayera, one Waqu could not change anything.

But Waqu was never the kind of person that fears death

He held his weapon tight. Garron seeing this smiles bitterly

"Andawan, please listen to me"

"You are determined to die?" hearing this question Garron sighed

" I thought I could still create a miracle. But it seems this era is now for the young. My era has ended long ago"

Hearing this Waqu gritted his teeth

"They did not understand what you want to achieve" this "they" is probably referring to Garron son

But Garron hearing this did not feel angry or disappointed at all

"Maybe, it is I that do not understand them" he paused for a second and then added

"And because we both could not accept the other opinion, today battle is destined to happen"

He sighed

Garron, amidst the sound of the bow, the clashing of steel, the death screams of his men, look at the sky

The drumming heart beats in his heart calms down and he could feel the wind blowing and he could feel its coldness on his skin.

When he accept the inevitable, he could feel everything around him

Feeling life in every breathe he takes. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Looking at the blue sky and the clear bright sky, he could not help but smiles

"How ironic that I would die in such a beautiful day!" he thought to himself

He thought of the great heroes in the Steppe nowadays and the expression on his face is bitter.

There is Aeryon, Dama, Valgrun, Durka, Chadha, Belarion, Ota and many more faces flashes though his mind

"What a pity! What a pity!" he lamented in his heart

If he was younger, he wanted to compete with all of these heroes!!

All the while he is thinking all of this, his army is collapsing

....

While the fight between Garron and Ogura is reaching fever pitch near the main settlement of the Utgard, there is an army that is passing through the Rudya tribe area.

A thousand horses rides the wind, dust behind their backs, the hooves shakes the ground, full with killing intent.

Some patrols of Rudya who has now followed Ogura into rebellion saw the force that rushed into their area of control

But none of them come forward to stop these one thousand horsemen.

Why?

Because they see the banners of this force

That white wolf banner!

In the Southern Great Steppe, which tribe does not know that white wolf banner?

When battle begins, this white wolf banner would be smeared with the blood of their enemies.

The white wolf banner would then turned into a red wolf banner

This is the banner of Brolgadhr!

In the past there is many that have such white wolf banner but there is only a few tribe in the Southern Great Steppe that have the white wolf banner and a thousand horsemen that rides such powerful horse with armour all over their body.

So, how could these forces attack Brolgadhr tribe? Who doesn’t know the true might of this neighbours of theirs?

These forces that is in Rudya was conquered by Garron.

For a while, they were obedient to Garron and some of them were quiet happy to submit.

After all, everything has been concluded. Since they could not change what had happened, they could only accept it.

If given enough time, they would surely be integrated fully with the Utgard tribe

But who would have thought that Ogura would stage a rebellion?

Some young warriors and heirs of the small clans that had to surrender to Garron instead turns to Ogura

Ogura promised them that they would get the privilege that they didn’t get before.

These small clans are more interested in allying with Ogura then with Garron.

The reason is simple.

Garron take the big tribes and the big clans under him and promise these big clans and big tribes many benefits.

And these benefits are taken from these small clans and small tribes

They were even forced to migrate to other parts of the Steppe. After all, if they still dare lingers, these coalition of interest created by Garron would crush them so hat they would not even have life to spare.

This method is right. It is not wrong. Even Aeryon and Dama did this.

Because this is a method that works

The big tribe and the big clans would control the small tribe and the small clans.

In a way it is like a feudalism

The big tribes and big clans that is under Garron umbrella would pay tributaries in the form of sheep and other livestock.

And Garron intimidate them with his dominance over them

But when Ogura rebels, this dominance and intimidating prestige that Garron has built weakened.

Then Ogura shake this prestige even more when he quickly subdued Sayushi forces.

Then relying on this prestige, he find allies with the exiled small clans and tribes, and in one fell swoop takes over the area of Rudya.

If one look at it right now, Rudya has become Ogura personal territory.

The fact that Ogura could do this is none other than his fast strike at his brother and his quick attack on any tribes that is loyal to his father.

Of course, this control is not yet stable. Only if he won the rebellion that this control would be stable

But now....now, it is still quite shaky.

And when these forces that is rebelling under Ogura saw the Brolgadhr, instead of attacking the Brolgadhr, they did not do anything

The rebellion of Ogura is not guaranteed to succeed.

There is no need for these small tribes and small clans to make an enemy of the overlord of the Southern Great Steppe

To these small clans and small tribes, the Brolgadhr tribe could be considered a great overlord of the Southern Great Steppe,

Many of them holds large and vast lands, have many herds, have cities and prosperity that eclipse all of the tribe in the East of them

This is a big clan with powerful army that has never lost since its formation.

There is Belarion a great warrior that could fight a thousand men, there is Aeryon whose name shakes the entire Southern Great Steppe and many talents in that tribe.

The future is uncertain, there is no need to provoke an even bigger enemy.

So, they only look on as the banners of the Brolgadhr tribe fluttering in the air, marching with thousand horsemen,

The banners ripples in the wind, the horsemen bringing dust, appearing like a storm breaking across the land of Rudya

The roads from Brolgadhr area to Utgard is treacherous.

Even though right now Aeryon did not find any obstacle, he could see the scouts of some small tribes

All of them are looking at him and it did not take a genius to know why they are looking at him

So, even though there is no winding road, no attack, the feeling of this entire journey made him always had to keep his guard up.

This feeling of being watched and could be pounced at anytime is not a pleasant feeling

Aeryon preferred if they just attack instead of just looking at him and opening the possibility of being attacked.

It is good that the name of the Brolgadhr keep them away from interfering with Aeryon march

But Aeryon did not like betting on this kind of measure.

However, before they know it, they now reached the border between Rudya and Utgard a few hours after he passes into Rudya territory

All along the way he did not stop.

He could bear it. His horses could bear it

But not the horses behind him

Aeryon horse and him is still able.

But he could not fought alone and so he stops for a while to give food for the horse and drink for the warriors

Aeryon look at the grassy plains and could not help but sigh

"Garron old man, you better not give up!" Aeryon mutters to the wind. Maybe hoping that the wind would bring this words to Garron, far away in the distance

The weather is clear, the sun shows its sunny light. The flowers blooms in the distance, the gras sways peacefully.

Under this beautiful sky, above this peaceful land, a tragedy is playing out. What an irony! Aeryon thought to himself.
