Chapter 545: Beginning of the Troubled Times V [Introduction]

There is the young people with burning desire in their heart to gain fame and fortune.

So, they have been waiting for war.

But for the people, there is a reason why the Brolgadhr tribe who has never clamor for war, is now so eager to go to war

It is because the current situation is quite promising

Brolgadhr is now a veritable overlord in the lower south

There is threat in the west, but the tribe also has allies in the west. As for the north, there is no immediate threat.

The east has a buffer and the south is full of chaos.

So, the Brolgadhr tribe is now sitting on an advantageous position, like a tiger on top of the mountain overlooking the valley below it, watching and waiting for the right opportune moment to come down the mountain and show its might

Other than that, it sems the Brolgadhr tribe is in a peaceful moment right now.

No one knows that the wife of the Kan and the Kan had a deadly battle, and it almost reached the matter of life and death, destroying the pavilion, shocking the advisors and the elders

Those who knows, also knows how to pretend not to see, not to hear and not to ask

The family affairs of the Kan is not for them to speculate.

As for the army, none of them should know and those who knows should pretend not to know

The matter of the Utgard tribe is important and it without doubt that the matter between the Kan and his women must be related to the Utgard tribe and Chief Garron

This is a matter that could determine the eastern border.

What would Dama do now that the Utgard tribe is in such chaos?

There is always a possibility that he would interfere and do things to obstruct the tribe.

There is also a chance that it could snowballed into a great battle.

The warriors might want a great battle, but the rulers wanted victory. And if you want victory, the preparation must not be lacking.

Hence, the death of Garron changes some plans that both Aeryon had.

Everyone who is involved in the decision making and who could enter the war tent when Aeryon and Mayeux is speaking knows that the matter between the Kan and his wife is now a delicate matter.

They do not speak about it because by speaking, there is always a chance of saying the wrong things. But by not speaking even though they would have no merit, they would also have no fault

And sometimes, having no fault is harder than having merit.

They could only speculate that maybe the Kan wife blame the Kan for not saving her father and that is the reason for their fight?

But even this speculation, none of them dare speaks about it.

And so, a week is enough to dispel many news and a week is enough for people to move on

After all, there is no subsequent consequences after that. The news in the ancient times is even easier to cover up.

In the times when the power of rulers reached such a point of absolute, covering up some news is easy

It is said that the wife of the Kan has contracted a cold and has to rest and all the Ashana proficient in the healing and Tabib from distant land that is present in the area of the lower south was invited

There is the official announcement and then there is the private announcement

Those who could visit the Katun was only the Ashana of the Brolgadhr tribe and the Tabib that could see her are only are the Tabib that has long been in the tribe

The Kan on the other hand has been training the warriors and the soldiers, and at evening would return to the palace

There is worry on his face and people believe that the Kan is saddened by the sudden illness of his wife.

After all, say what you want about the Kan, the fact he went to try to save his father-in-law is testament to the love of his wife

There is also the fact that the Kan since marrying Ayera has never taken another wife or woman into his tent.

It is only recently that there is some development on that front.

No one blames the Kan because no one had seen such devoted husband.

And no one could say that he is hypocritical.

Some might said that if he really is sad about his wife illness why would he still go to the barracks and train with his men and goes to supervise the army?

But even this kind of argument would lose its stand.

Because there is movement around the entire Southern Great Steppe and each one shows an alarming trend.

The tribes are all ready to fight

From west to east, from north to south, the tribes all have food and weapons and are now ready to fight

They stored the food and they have forged the weapon all of these seasons and now that summer has come, they are all eager to make immortal achievement!

Those who have wisdom could see that this summer would not be a peaceful one.

It would be the summer where many tribes would fall and a few tribes would rise.

It also may change the dynamic of power in the Steppe when the summer ended.

Those who are small wanted to become big, and those who are weak wanted to become strong

And they have to fight to determine this.

Those who do not have the ability to fight should know themselves and raise the flag of surrender and quickly choose a side before they get liquidated later.

There is movement and noise in the north.

There is skirmishes in the east between those who is dissatisfied with Dama expansion so this could be a blessing in disguise.

Even if Dama wanted to interfere in the matter of the Utgard and take position toward the west, then he at first at least have to stabilize his rear from being in chaos

Then there is the Cha Ner Ul alliance in the west.

This alliance has always bene friendly. Or to be more accurate neutral. But that neutrality is wearing thin.

Whether Chadha wanted to or not, now that he is sitting in that position as the leader of this alliance, he had to expand.

Either the Alliance focus towards the north and clashes with the northern tribes or they move east which means there would be a great battle between the Brolgadhr tribe and the Cha Ner Ul Alliance

Once that battle started, it would be like the whole Southern Great Steppe embroiled in a war.

Because at that time, there would be too many variables to calculate.

What if Dama ignores all danger and choose to march west and attack Aeryon forces from behind?

What if the northern tribes come down to the south to attack Brolgadhr?

There is a chance that the whole tribe in the Southern Great Steppe would choose a side at that time and move according to their objectives.

And on the west, there is tribes that are gearing up for battle and skirmishes is now on the daily

Could the Khagai tribe follow the call if needed or will they get stuck before they could march toward the east to help?

And what if the Khagai tribe instead of helping the Brolgadhr tribe changes its mind and prefer to maintain their current overlord status?

Valgrun seems loyal, but the human hearts is the most unpredictable thing.

And in Brolgadhr there is the same thing.

There are tribes surrendering and there are tribes that is joining.

The more powerful the prestige of the Brolgadhr, there is more and more people that relies on and submitted toward the Kan

Ten thousand men and ten thousand horses are now an underestimation of the Brolgadhr strength

Now, if the Kan waves his hand, dozens of medium tribes would answer the calls, and about sixty small tribes would listen and countless clans would follow

This is the foundation of the Kan to conquer the world People and horses and his ability to make sure his men, his people to eat and drink, and to win every battle and conquer every land in their way

From the moment Aeryon raises his army he had never lost a war

No one knows whether he would lost in the future but the momentum is there and Aeryon method of governing is decisive and he could even let those who join later tases some sip of the glory.

Paint a pie for them to be eager to fight for him, he knows how to choose people and he is not constrained in picking people to promote

Even a slave could be a general, and no capable person should be afraid of being neglected.

Merit and rewards are fair and just and everyone is convinced.

It seems like everything is developing to become prosperous and the internal and external problem is nothing to worry about

But in the morning, of this new day, the beginning of this summer, there was news of something happening.

The intro is long. When it reached Aeryon the pace would be quickly accelerated.
