Way of Overlord-Chapter 480: Feasting For Death

And what would happen the newly surrendered tribe like the Nogai tribe? Will they not waver?

They would waver. This is without question

Mayeux did not doubt this. Even if he is in the position of Nogai chief tribe, he would do this.

"the gift that my disciple had given me should not be squandered"

In a way, this is also his disciple trust in him. His disciple probably already knows that the Nogai tribe could be convinced with strength.

But if the strength is insufficient, then what choice the chief of Nogai tribe would choose is still up in the air.

The only way to always retains the loyalty of Nogai chief tribe is to make sure that Brolgadhr is always strong until he surrendered sincerely.

Nogai tribe would probably surrender with sincerity if the Brolgadhr tribe is strong and stable.

But if it’s not stable, then there is great probability that the chief of the Nogai tribe would pretend that there is no such surrender.

Nogai tribe already shows that they are betting that the Brolgadhr could win. They are early investors

However, if the stock that they chose only fall and fall, then even if they are reluctant, they had to cut their losses.

At that time, both Aeryon and Mayeux could not blame Nogai. After all, the Nogai has already shown enough sincerity to surrender. But the sincerity of that surrender also have a prerequisite.

The prerequisite is that Brolgadhr could really unify the Southern Great Steppe. If Aeryon could not do that, and shows sign that it is about to fall, then Nogai should save themselves first.

No one would call that a betrayal in the Steppe. Life is hard enough for everyone in the Steppe, and if a chief could protect his tribe that is enough to be praised.

This is all just his conjecture. But all of this are possibility that could happen. Mayeux does think of winning

But he also thinks of measures that could render victory impossible.

These are just a few of scenarios that could happen if the rear is not pacified, the allies are not awed and the control is not exercised

This is why, both Aeryon and Mayeux did not want to start the war early.

They must make the appearance of not fearing to start the war early, but internally, they wanted to avoid starting the war early

After all, if they are eager and shows that they did not want to start the war early, then Dama would want to start the war early.

After all, you do not do what the enemy wants you to do.

That is the way to win over your enemies.

Right now, the East itself is busy with their own reorganization of the region and khanates.

This would take time but Aeryon and Mayeux also knows that this reorganization is also Dama and Katakura way of preparing the battle between the Brolgadhr and Esbizuk tribe.

From the very beginning, Mayeux could see this danger looming in the background.

Hence, Utgard tribe chaos is beneficial. But, Aeryon insisted on saving Garron

He could advise Aeryon but Aeryon after successive victories also become even stubborn. Unlike before, this is not something that Aeryon could not see

Aeryon, his lord also knows the most beneficial thing for him and the tribe is for him to let things play out as it is.

But his lord is a hero and a hero has a hero temperament. It is why they have charisma that attracts people to them

Mayeux is smart, he is cunning and he has many advantages.

He could fight and he could ride horses, he could use bow and arrow but he was not a hero

He did not have that heroic aura nor does he have that temperament of a romantic hero. Aeryon is that kind of contradictory person in Mayeux eyes.

Maybe that is why warriors would follow him to the death and he inspires loyalty in a way that Mayeux could not

There were many times when they meet each other that Aeryon speaks about Garron and his concern about him.

He knows how cunning Garron was and he was very much cautious about Garron.

Even after Garron married his daughter to him, Aeryon vigilance toward Garron increased instead of decreasing

Even after he gain a lot in the west, there is still some trace of concern for Garron in Aeryon heart.

But when he heard that Garron is about to die and is about to die in the hands of his own son, Aeryon, the very same person that is concerned about Garron plots and intrigue was the only person who rides with his horse to try to save Garron.

Because regardless of what he thinks of Garron, he also believe Garron is a rare hero in the troubled times

How could Aeryon not know that Ogura has all the advantage. The land of Utgard is the land of Ogura. That region is his playground.

Even if Aeryon managed to fight, the casualties would probably not be small. By letting the battle play out, the tribe could preserved its strength for the future.

After all, with the death of Garron, Aeryon could have planned to take east later when they are ready. This is matters that Mayeux did not said but it is understood implicitly.

"Man proposes and Heaven disposes"

This is the only thing Mayeux could say. And now, that intentional mistake become one of the greatest move Aeryon could make.

"truly he is a lucky person" Mayeux thought to himself. The reputation of Aeryon would become even more illustrious.

Mayeux knows that Aeryon decision to save Garron is not driven by any desire to profit from this disaster.

Aeryon simply feel that such hero should not die like that

But now that Garron is dead, his move to save Garron suddenly become his best shield if one day he moves east and takes Utgard tribe

Reputation in the Steppe could be useful and could be useless depending on the circumstances.

A small tribe with great reputation is just inviting trouble.

But a large tribe with great reputation, that is reputation befits the wearer.

And it helps things to be done more smoothly in the future.

Now, when the news of Garron death spreads, many chief would also learn that only one chief that tries to help Garron.

This move would surely endear Aeryon to the forces loyal to Garron and soften some chief hearts to surrender.

When Nogai tribe surrender make public one day, the trend of the world would be quickly accomplished.

"This would be useful in the future even though it could not play an important part right now"

Mayeux release the bad breath he has been holding since Aeryon decided to send soldiers to Utgard.

And his mind begins planning.

He did not abandon his plan for the west.

But circumstances changes.

Just like how he could accept Aeryon tweaking the plan to the west when an opportunity opened up in the north, he too is flexible.

He is not rigid in his planning and he is carefree and calm when making plans.

In the beginning, the affairs of the world is not that easy for him to handle.

After all, there is a difference between talking on paper and the real world.

But after almost a year of handling the rear of the Kan and dealing with all kinds of problem, he had honed himself this attitude and there is also confidence.

How do one built confidence in oneself?

By winning. Even small victory is good. Accumulate victories and learn from each loss.

Then as long as you could learn from your failure, you would slowly see the path to victory.

And when the path of victory is seized you would win.

There is nothing sweeter than that taste of that first victory.

No matter how many times you win after that, it would not be the same as that one first true victory that is the accumulation of all the failures.

Mayeux is not so arrogant to think that he had his real victory yet.

All he had until now are small victory stacked on top of one another.

In the eyes of other the victory he had achieved are all great victory.

But neither him or his Kan think of the deeds they have done is great victory.

Because what they dreamed of, is something that none of the people under them dare dreams about.

How can a little sparrow know the ambitions of a great swan?

So, the thing that these people thought great victory is just small victory.

Those who win great victory and tasted the first sweet taste of true victory, would sometimes be arrogant and being arrogant make you underestimate the enemy and underestimating the enemy would bring about a flaw.

Until the great cause is completed, Mayeux did not dare to enjoy himself.

"Garron is death and Ogura is now in control"

Mayeux take a sip of the hot Ayrag and he smiles.

"Ogura is just a warrior and a man easily provoked. It is nothing more than that"
