Way of Overlord-Chapter 478: Some Are Sad, Some Are Laughing

He walk down the mound and look at Burchu. Burchu seems to want to say something but Aeryon shook his head.

He knows how brave Burchu is. And even before he said it, Aeryon could guess what Burchu wanted to do.

A brave warrior like Burchu, he wanted to settle the debt he has with Ayera.

So, he would not mind to ride alone and take Ogura head.

Can Burchu do it?

Aeryon doesn’t know.

But he would not risk the life of one of his future general by trying to take the head of a person that sooner or later would be presented to him

The only question is when.

Burchu seems reluctant, Aeryon pats his shoulder again and look at his eyes.

"They will come a time for Ogura to pay" Aeryon understood Burchu concern on this matter. Burchu himself is not that close to the Utgard tribe and he probably is not even friend with the warriors of the Utgard tribe.

Burchu is merely wanting to repay Ayera deed of recommending him to Aeryon. Most of Aeryon soldier all followed his order without question.

And while that is good, sometimes, he also need someone like Burchu who could think for himself.

Aeryon did not fancy himself like Genghis Khan that everyone would always obey him religiously.

At least not in this time of building a great business.

His strength and influence did not yet reached the level where he could command the world with his words.

Burchu is the ideal warrior of the Steppe. Burchu himself wanted to emulate Hansraj as he is the ideal warrior and ruler in the hearts of many Steppe people.

To him, repaying Ayera is something he must do so that his heart could be at ease.

Today, would be the day he would repay that debt. But instead, Garron is dead and he could not repay it.

Aeryon feel that if he could make such warrior serve him sincerely, then Burchu would be a great candidate for another ten thousand men general.

He just need some polishing.

Burchu nodded and then he too jump back on his horse. The commanders and leaders all order their men to go back.

The banners turned and the army wheeled around, galloping back the way they had come. Aeryon had lost the chance to save Garron

But the war in Utgard was far from over

....

The aftermath of the battle would surely reverberate across the central region of the Southern Great Steppe.

Ogura had won the battle but his rule is now stained with his father blood and the instability that would come from that.

There is promises that he had made and this is promises that he could not kept.

Garron might have enemies, but he had also allies. These allies sometimes hate Garron guts but he is the devil they know.

And now that the devil they know is dead, happiness is not something that they would feel. Instead, now they have to deal with a devil they don’t know.

Even though killing father is not such an act that would not be tolerated by the sky like in Yan, not many would trust such a person.

In the Steppe, the son rebelling against the father is not always wrong.

In fact, many of the folk heroes of the Steppe, rebels against the power over them including their father.

But there must be a reason for this. A father that wanted to kill the children, then it is only right for the son to kill the father

It would not be like in Yan where filial piety is respected regardless of right and wrong.

Injustice should not be kept in the heart and should be released. And so, there are many that think what Ogura did was heroic.

After all, the reason why he rebelled, as he had spread this matter was that his father had deceived him and wanting to kill him by putting his brother on the seat.

There is many news coming out from Utgard and going to the nearby tribe.

But no matter how many stories that come out from the Utgard tribe, the central theme of the story is the same.

Ogura is unfairly treated and so he rebelled against his father.

This is a battle of narratives.

Then it is understandable why Ogura make such choices.

But unfairness in one thing and having to deal with Ogura is another thing.

It is unreasonable not to think that people will take note of this treachery.

Human hearts are complicated. And as much as the Yan and the other empires around the Great Steppe tries to paint the "barbarians" as devoid of intelligence, humans are all the same everywhere.

They have desires and needs, they have love and hate and they know what is beneficial to them and what is harmful to them

Every tribe around Utgard that receive the news all have their own plans and plots.

Some are worried.

And some are planning an invasion when they are ready

Most of them feel quite happy of how things turns out.

But that was when they received additional news and report about what happened that day and it truly shocked them

When Garron and Ogura was fighting, the Kan and five hundred horsemen rides toward Utgard. And he was only a few miles away from the main battlefield when the final battle between Ogura and Garron commenced

What does this mean?

This means Aeryon tried to interfere in this battle.

And whose side was he on?

Considering that since the death of Garron, there is no congratulations or gifts given to Ogura, it is pretty easy to know where he stands.

And when the chiefs around Utgard tribe receives this news, happiness turns to wariness.

After all, if this was the case, then Ogura seat is not stable. And unstable seat means an unstable relationship

Utgard would find that they would have many more enemies than they could imagine if the attitude of the Kan is hostile.

In times of prosperity, everyone would like to be your friend, but when you are down, there is even more people that would want to stomp you down.

If there is no external interference, and time is given to Ogura he could probably pacify all the rebellious forces in his region and then defend his region.

Before, all of the tribes that hear the news of Garron death wanted to be the one that become the external interference.

But if the Kan is involved, then it would not be their turn to become the external interference

It would be like trying to snatch a meat from the jaws of the lion. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

If you dare to try to snatch it, whether you succeed or failed, the lion will notice you.

And it would not only notice you.

They are even angry at you.

Not many tribes would want to provoke such beast especially when they are all busy with their own plans and grand plan of their own.

They must think what will the Kan do?

The only one that is probably happy that Garron is dead right now is the advisor of the Kan.

And where is Mayeux right now. He was not in his residence inside he is in a tent not far away from his residence. It is a tent home he would always goes to clear his mind.

It is slightly out of the city.

Mayeux read the report in his tent.

He was walking in circle in his tent while reading the report and then when he finished reading the report, he laughed

He then sat down and relish the news

"HAHAHA! Fate is on my side!" he exclaimed.

Mayeux was happy. He was infinitely happy. From the very beginning, he sees only the demerit of helping Garron

There is merit. But the demerit outweighs the merits. Aeryon wanted to save Garron because of feelings and Burchu wanted to satisfy his personal ideal.

Only he could see it calmly enough.

Mayeux then called his servants and ask his servant to bring Ayrag and cook him meat.

In the tent, he is no longer so restless. Instead, he sat down with relaxed posture, and rest his back on the walls of his and smile

"It is a pity but this is better for the Kan"

Garron is an old fox.

In the past Mayeux is very worried about Garron. It is because at that time, Aeryon did not yet have enough power.

In the early days, he is quite worried.

Even though Aeryon as conquering many small tribes and many small tribes are paying tributaries to the Brolgadhr tribe, that power and influence was not stable

Fortunately, Aeryon stabilizes the interior, Belarion awe the exterior.

When Aeryon lead the expedition to Nurshira and won, that is when Mayeux lower down the threat of the Utgard tribe.

But lowered did not mean he forget.

He did not overestimate his enemies but he would also not make a mistake of underestimating them

And Mayeux decision was correct.
