Chapter 134: Cha-Ner-Ul Alliance

One week passed, and the Southern Great Steppe continued to be in turmoil, with war and conflict becoming the dominant themes of the day.

The Sordkazan and Estkazan tribes, located on the eastern fringes of the steppe, forged an alliance.

This move indicated the growing trend of tribes seeking strength in numbers and alliances to defend against external threats.

Meanwhile, the Esbizuk tribe, positioned on the easternmost edge of the Southern Great Steppe, made a bold move by launching an attack on the Kyara tribe and subjugating them.

This expansionist action highlighted the aggressive and opportunistic atmosphere that now prevailed in the region.

Tribes were no longer content with their existing territories, and many sought to expand their domains through conquest.

The chiefs and leaders of the steppe were navigating treacherous waters as they sought to secure their tribes’ interests in this changing environment.

In the aftermath of Aeryon conquests in the western regions of the Southern Great Steppe, tensions flared on the eastern side of this vast land.

The Lushar tribe, emboldened by Aeryon campaign, launched an attack against the Estkazan tribe, seeking to expand their territory.

However, there is something unexpected that happened

There is the Esbizuk tribe that has a cunning strategy in place.

They patiently bided their time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

When the Lushar tribe committed their forces to confront the Estkazan tribe, they unknowingly fell into a trap.

Little did they know that the Esbizuk tribe, neighbouring the Estkazan, had been closely monitoring the situation.

With precision and accuracy, the Esbizuk tribe ambushed the Lushar tribe.

Caught off guard, the Lushar tribe’s main force found itself pinned down by the Estkazan tribe on the other side of the tribe land while the Esbizuk tribe warriors are free to make a move.

This was the pivotal moment that the Esbizuk tribe had been waiting for.

The Esbizuk tribe swiftly launched an attack on the Lushar tribe’s settlement, capturing its tribe members and forcing them into slavery.

The Lushar tribe, now trapped between two relentless adversaries, faced a grim choice.

They had to retreat, leaving behind many of their comrades who had bravely fought on the green grass of the Steppe.

The aftermath of this tumultuous conflict saw a complex power play unfold on the Eastern side of the Southern Great Steppe.

Although the Estkazan tribe emerged victorious against the main force of the Lushar tribe, their triumph was short-lived.

As the Estkazan tribe sought to claim the lands of their defeated rivals, they discovered that the Esbizuk tribe had already staked their claim.

The Esbizuk tribe’s strategic maneuvers had paid off, allowing them to seize the spoils of war without directly engaging in the battle.

Exhausted and depleted from their fierce confrontation with the Lushar tribe, the Estkazan tribe found themselves in a precarious position.

Faced with the formidable Esbizuk tribe, they had little choice but to retreat, relinquishing the lands they had hoped to conquer.

the ultimate victor emerged as the Esbizuk tribe. They skilfully manipulated the situation to their advantage, securing both territory and dominance.

Meanwhile, the Lushar tribe and the Estkazan tribe suffered the bitter taste of defeat

Amid the escalating conflicts that gripped the Southern Great Steppe, the Sordkazan tribe, seizing an opportunity during the Estkazan incursion into Lushar territory, launched an attack against the neighbouring Tuvan tribe.

Their strategic maneuvers would be marked by a pivotal battle on the Tuvalu Hills.

In this fiercely contested clash, the Sordkazan warriors displayed their martial prowess, achieving a resounding and decisive victory.

Their relentless charge on horseback, accompanied by skilled warriors, proved formidable. They cut down a staggering one thousand enemy combatants, using only five hundred horse riders.

This triumph secured a significant territorial gain for the Sordkazan tribe and bolstered their reputation as a force to be reckoned with on the Southern Great Steppe.

Right now, the situation in the East of Southern Great Steppe is now dominated by the Esbizuk tribe

Their swift and calculated conquests have seen them subdue numerous lesser-known tribes, as well as some smaller yet historically significant ones like Lushar and Kyara.

Their relentless expansion has positioned them to become a prominent regional power in the East, a status that seems inevitable in the wake of their recent successes.

The Eastern Southern Great Steppe is now witnessing the rise of multiple emerging powers, and the Sordkazan tribe is one of them.

Their successful campaign against the Tuvan tribe has elevated their status, and they may very well have their sights set on Estkazan, which is currently weakened after their confrontation with the Lushar tribe.

However, Sordkazan tribe must tread carefully, for they not only need to guard against the potential retaliation of Estkazan but also keep a watchful eye on the Esbizuk tribe, which seems poised to expand westward.

The delicate balance of power in this region is shifting rapidly, and each tribe must remain vigilant

In the upper North of the Southern Great Steppe, the Vihur tribe stands as a prominent force under the leadership of another young charismatic leader Zamukha.

As the leader of his tribe, Zamukha is acutely aware of the changing landscape across the steppe, particularly the rise of the Brolgadhr tribe to the lower south.

The region as a whole is experiencing a noticeable trend towards the unification of smaller tribes.

It has become increasingly clear that in this evolving environment, tribes must adapt and unite to survive.

The choice is clear: embrace the changing dynamics or face the risk of extinction.

In the lower part of the Southern Great Steppe, the Brolgadhr tribe has been on an aggressive expansion spree, gradually absorbing smaller tribes situated to the west of their territory.

Their relentless expansion is reshaping the dynamics of the region and making neighbouring tribes uneasy.

On the eastern side of the Southern Great Steppe, the Esbizuk tribe, under the leadership of Tsendeama Son of Uda, has emerged as a formidable power.

They decisively defeated the Lushar tribe and brought the Kyara tribe under their control.

Now, their expansion brings them into conflict with the Estkazan and Sordkazan tribes to their west.

The Eastern part of the steppe is also witnessing significant shifts in power and alliances as tribes jockey for position and resources in this changing landscape.

And then there is the Kazan tribe

The Kazan tribe, having faced setbacks in their bid to claim Rudya lands, now appear to set their sights on the Dayan tribe.

The Dayan tribe, having recently vanquished the Sayan tribe to their south, has grown considerably in size and strength, boasting a force of two thousand horse riders.

The Kazan tribe’s attention on the Dayan tribe suggests that they are eager to expand their territory and influence, and they likely see an opportunity in the weakened state of the Dayan tribe southern neighbours.

But Dayan tribe also could not take it easy.

The Dayan tribe, despite their recent victory over the Sayan tribe to the south, finds themselves surrounded by potential threats on multiple fronts.

To their north lies the formidable Yindir tribe, a significant force boasting a vast army of ten thousand men.

To the east, they share borders with the Nurkazan tribe, presenting yet another neighbor with its own ambitions.

To the west, the Dayan tribe faces the Nogai tribe, an imposing force with an army of fifteen thousand men and ten thousand riders.

The Nogai tribe substantial numbers make them a considerable force to reckon with.

To the south, the ambitious Utgard tribe, brimming with newfound momentum, poses a looming challenge.

The Utgard tribe’s recent expansion and alliance with the Brolgadhr tribe have made them a force to be watched closely.

In the southwest, the Wustkazan tribe also eyes potential expansion opportunities, likely fuelled by the territorial ambitions of neighbouring tribes.

This multi-directional threat landscape leaves the Dayan tribe in a precarious position, requiring them to carefully navigate the world

Four corners of the world, all of it blocked and full of dangers, this is the apt description to describe their situation right now

On the lower western side of the Southern Great Steppe, Aeryon is not the only chief that is now in the limelight

In the lower western region of the Southern Great Steppe, Chief Chadha of the Chagai tribe has also emerged as a prominent figure, casting a significant influence across the steppe.

His actions have reverberated throughout the region, leading to the establishment of the Cha-Ner-Ul Alliance, a development that has captured the attention of all the tribes in the area.

Chagai tribe is pushed to the limelight

The Cha-Ner-Ul Alliance was established.

What is the Cha-Ner-Ul Alliance?

The impetus behind the formation of the Cha-Ner-Ul Alliance stemmed from a potentially destructive conflict between the Ultar and Nergui tribes over the lands of the recently vanquished Aksak tribe.

This dispute had the alarming potential to fracture the alliance that had been forged between Ultar and Nergui.

Chief Chadha of the Chagai tribe, recognizing the dire consequences of this internal strife, took a proactive step.

He dispatched a messenger with a message that effectively halted the hostilities between the Ultar and Nergui tribes.

This diplomatic intervention prevented the situation from deteriorating further.

Subsequently, a meeting was convened at the Ashana tent, strategically positioned between the newly redrawn borders of the Nergui and Ultar tribes.

It was at this gathering that Chief Chadha proposed a comprehensive peace treaty, aiming to restore harmony and unity among the tribes involved.

His proposal marked the inception of the Cha-Ner-Ul Alliance.

The proceedings of this historic meeting were overseen by Ashana Tua, a venerable figure among the Ashana on the Southern Great Steppe.

She is also the Ashana of the Nergui tribe

Her wisdom and impartiality earned her respect not only among the Nergui tribe but also within the Ultar tribe.

During this meeting, the three chiefs reached a momentous agreement.

They pledged not to engage in hostilities against each other and, more significantly, established protocols for mutual support and reinforcement in times of need.

This accord aimed to ensure the security and stability of their respective tribes.

Crucially, the foundation of this alliance was solidified through three strategic marriages.

Chagai son united in matrimony with the daughter of Ultar tribe’s chief, Yuana.

Nermel, the son of the chief of the Nergui tribe, married one of Ultar daughters.

Moreover, Ulric, the chief of the Ultar tribe, had previously married a daughter of the Chagai tribe.

To further strengthen the alliance, he wed one of Nermel daughters to one of his sons.

These interconnected marriages wove a tight web of alliances between the tribes, fostering trust and cooperation.

With this newfound unity and assurance of support, the three chiefs could now concentrate on pursuing their individual goals without the looming threat of intertribal conflict.

This alliance marked a significant shift in the dynamics of power and diplomacy on the Southern Great Steppe.
