Way of Overlord-Chapter 485: The One in the West

In the past this star is not something that he even recognizes. It is small, insignificant and dim and dark

It is a pity that during the time when Aeryon returns back to the Steppe, Katakura did not look at the sky. At that time, he had lost hope and did not dare to look at the sky

But if he did, if he look at that sky at that time, he would see a foreign star falling into this world and that star falls onto the Brolgadhr tribe

If he had seen that scene, Katakura might even deduce the mystery of transmigration, of fate and destiny, of cause and effect

But every sip and bite is predestined.

There is cause and effect in that.

The bright light of the Brolgadhr had made the dark cloud in the distance become thinner. But that bright light is also hindering the growth of the Esbizuk tribe.

"A bright light that swallows everything that no darkness could hide" he thought to himself. This is his own interpretation. Different people seeing it might have different interpretation than him

"The war between the west and the east is inevitable" he mutters to himself.

To Aeryon, the west refers to the tribal coalition on his west. But to the Esbizuk tribe, the west refers to the region ruled by the Brolgadhr. To them, that is their western border.

For a moment, Katakura just look at the stars and hope to see something

A way to break the impasse.

All he sees are a dead viper and a red wolf wanting to devour.

And a dark red cloud that is coming closer and closer to these stars

....

Mayeux was happy and drinking Ayrag, almost seemingly feasting and Katakura rides his horse and look at the stars and is full of contemplation for the road ahead.

These two have different feelings and do different things when they heard the death of Garron.

They are the closest to Utgard tribe and their plans and scheme surely would have included the Utgard tribe in their calculation.

It is not surprising then for them to pay attention to Utgard tribe and to have feelings for the death of Garron

The death of someone could be as light as a feather or it could be as heavy as a mountain. freēwēbnovel.com

Garron death is like the death of a stabilizing pillar of the sea. Now that the pillar is gone, the sea would be wildly and in chaos.

Utgard is supposed to be the barrier for the west.

That tribe is the beacon tower for Brolgadhr tribe.

If anyone from the north anted to come down and meddle in the matter of the lower southern region and the central lower region, they have to worry about being attacked on the rear by Utgard tribe.

If they fight Brolgadhr tribe, then the enemy have to worry that reinforcement could come from behind and cut them.

It is the same for the eastern tribes.

If they even managed to pass Utgard tribe, as long as they did not attack Utgard tribe, they always have to worry that the Utgard tribe would strike them from behind

It also would not work if they attack Utgard first because Brolgadhr would then make sure that the battle would be concentrated in that region instead of reaching Brolgadhr region

Hence, these two tribes receives the news of the death of Garron the fastest and they react to it the fastest

But they are not the only one that is paying attention to what is happening in Utgard.

In the west, there is the Cha Ner Ul Alliance.

They are farther away than Esbizuk and Brolgadhr to the Utgard. And usually, they would never even care what happen so far away from their tribe.

At most, the news would arrive a few weeks later and just be a matter of conversation filler.

But in this new times, the Cha Ner Ul, especially the Chagai tribe pays attention to what is happening to his east

Because while what happens to Utgard is not that important to the west, it is important to the Brolgadhr and would affect Brolgadhr and what affects Brolgadhr tribe would affect them,

The news that usually would have reached the west a week now only one day after the matter, Chadha receive the news in the morning just as he was about to start his morning

A day had passed when they received the news.

Garron is dead, Aeryon had retreated and Ogura had taken his seat as the new chief of Utgard.

The area around that part of the east would surely be chaotic

Chadha, the chief of the Chagai tribe just opened his eyes and a few moment later, one of his messengers ask permission to enter his tent and give him the news of the death of Utgard chief.

Chadha rection is different from Katakura when he heard the news that Garron is dead. There is a smile on his face and if not for the haziness of waking in the morning he would have laughed, slaughter a Tayak and held a feast.

"I never expected such thing to happen in Utgard. How lucky!" Truth be told, Chadha did not know much about the Utgard tribe.

The west and the east did not have much interaction. Not to mention in the past, the Chagai tribe was small.

They only knows about the things around them. He did know about the Utgard tribe but he does know about Garron.

A few decades ago, when there was a tribe seeking shelter from the tribes in the central Great Steppe, the Ashana collectively vouch for the Utgard tribe and allow them to enter the Southern Great Steppe.

Then the chief of that tribe made a name for himself, Garron the Viper.

Every once in a while, these stories would reach the west and they would talk about it in passing conversation

But now, these names are not just names. These are people and these are people that could affect the world situation.

Aeryon had created such environment that any tribe that is near him should be investigated whether they could be pulled into being an ally or an enemy

Now, Chagai tribe is big.

And there is a trend of the west fighting the central region.

"Aeryon ambition could not be checked. Unless he experience a great loss, he would not abandon his ambition"

Chadha is not a warmongering chief. Of course, that is also because his situation before. But when situation changes, he also must changes his approach.

Now that he had made Chagai tribe strong, he had hoped that it would stop Aeryon encroachment toward the west.

He had hoped to divide the Southern Great Steppe.

Let the west area belong to the Cha Ner Ul Alliance and let all the eastern side belongs to Brolgadhr. Both of them would divide the Southern Great Steppe into two.

Chadha did this because he did not have confidence to defeat Aeryon forces.

But he is confident in defending against Aeryon forces from entering the west

There was still a chance for this matter to be solved diplomatically.

But when Khagai defeated Bolghar tribe, Chadha knows that unless Aeryon suffers a great loss, he would not abandon the desire to get the west.

So, Chadha knows whether he wants to fight or not, he had to fight. And since then, he also sent his own people to infiltrate the area of the east and to get information about Brolgadhr tribe.

Maybe, he would find a way to halt or even slow down Aeryon expansion.

Most of the lower part of the west is now controlled by Brolgadhr tribe. Most tribe there become the tributaries of the Brolgadhr.

There is dozens of clans and small tribe that is also migrating there now that it is peaceful there

As long as you pay tribute to the Brolgadhr tribe, they would protect you and you could herd your Tayak and goat flock and horses there.

And the Khagai tribe that is now dominating on the west is an ally of Brolgadhr. That is an ally of the Brolgadhr tribe.

How could Chadha not see what Aeryon is doing?

It seems like he did not interfere in the west and the force of Aeryon did not extend their reaches to the west but Khagai is his ally.

How could this not be considered extending his reaches?

This is basically encircling the Cha Ner Ul Alliance.

Aeryon knows it and Chadha knows it. It seems clear to everyone involved Aeryon is determined to take the west.

And Chadha knows that if Chagai was just a small tribe or even a large tribe, Aeryon might have send messengers to meet him and extend friendship.

He might even be inducted into the Elder Council or considered as a vassal tribe of the Brolgadhr and could lead armies and control the region like Durka.

But because Chadha is now considered as the pillar of the Cha Ner Ul Alliance, such possibility is not considered by Aeryon

Because Aeryon could accept people under him to have an autonomy but he would not accept an alliance as big as Cha Ner Ul Alliance to exist under his banner

It would be like planting a time bomb inside his own tent.

Aeryon, that young wolf would not do such a thing.
