Chapter 173: True Intention

The battle is getting intense.

Shouts and screams could be heard all over the city. Smokes rises toward the sky. Explosion, chaos, the sound of weapons clashing

All over the city, all over the earth, all over the sky, they could feel it.

They could smell the blood, hears the roaring’s of their fellow Steppe warriors. They did not know that all of the three tribes, the Brolgadhr, the Esbizuk and Sordkazan tribe had all breach the gates

If they know, they would be more impatient. Khagai tribe is known for their prowess and their ability to battle.

And the blood of warriors of the Khagai tribe boiled with excitement.

Like a shark that smell blood. They wanted to rush. They wanted to bring down the gate and tear apart their enemies

The warriors of the Khagai tribe is no stranger to violence and no stranger to war and battle.

They are at their peak right now. But their chief, standing on his chariot, looking at the city wall with a smile, did not yet give the order. And since he did not give the order, they shall not make a move

The difference between the Khagai tribe is this. Dama warriors are all cruel, brutal and fierce. Sordkazan warriors could only rely on Karnain strategy.

Brolgadhr warriors absorb the strength of those they conquered and overcome the weakness of their past.

They are not strong but they are becoming strong as they fight more and more

Relying on the leadership of their chief, the great strategy of Mayeux and the fierce and invincible Belarion, Brolgadhr tribe warriors become stronger with each battle

But Khagai tribe is different from them

They fought the Western Zhou since they are a child. They are familiar with battle and as they fight they took the method of Western Zhou.

And one of the features of Western Zhou is their disciplined armies

So, unlike the other tribe, the Khagai tribe is disciplined. Disciplined to the level that even the Roma legion would be envious.

It is because of that even though they all are eager to fight, they did not do anything that their chief did not ask them to do.

What Valgrun is trying to do is beyond them. But they listen and they obey

The elite warriors of the Khagai tribe is confused with what Valgrun is trying to do.

Ota look at the weakened western gate and he clenches his fist.

If the chief is anyone else, Ota would launch himself toward the wall, climb it and wreak havoc on top of the city wall.

Ota had done such things when he raided cities of Western Zhou. But because Valgrun did not allow him to do anything, he calms down his heart

Ota himself is a very rash person. And he listens to no one not even his father. But the only one he acknowledges is none other than Valgrun.

Ota’s respect and obedience to Valgrun were remarkable.

While Ota was known for his impulsive and headstrong nature, he had a deep reverence for Valgrun, which was evident in his willingness to follow Valgrun orders even if it meant restraining his natural instincts.

Valgrun leadership and strategy were unique and clearly had a profound influence on Ota and the rest of the Khagai elite warriors, who trusted their chief’s judgment even when his actions seemed unconventional.

Valgrun had done many things to strengthen his tribe

Valgrun determination to strengthen his tribe was evident in his multifaceted approach in the past.

His efforts extended beyond military organization

He included to focus on the advancements in weaponry to fight against the Western Zhou.

He recognized the value of adopting the advanced weapon forging techniques of the Yan Empire since a long time ago.

However, he didn’t stop there.

Valgrun also in the past sent Khagai riders deep into the northern territories, where they learned forging methods from the skilled blacksmiths of the northern tribes.

This exchange of knowledge allowed his people to refine their forging techniques further.

In addition to learning from friendly tribes, Valgrun warriors took Western Zhou prisoners, extracting valuable knowledge of weapon forging techniques from them.

As a result of these initiatives, the elite warriors of the Khagai tribe were exceptionally well-armed.

Their equipment is forged with a level of craftsmanship that matched or even surpassed the standards of the Yan Empire, giving them a substantial advantage on the battlefield.

If they did not meet people like Belarion, most of the time they would possess great advantage when fighting.

And the forces that Valgrun brought to participate in this raid, is not the full force of the Khagai tribe.

Unlike the other three tribes, the Khagai tribe could not just move their whole warrior to this battlefield.

Because if they do, the Western Zhou might use that opportunity to ride toward the west

Khagai tribe is the strongest tribe among the four.

Each other their elite warriors are armed to the teeth

The Khagai tribe borders the Western Zhou toward the west and because of that there is many clashes between these two powers.

The Khagai tribe is one of the few tribes that lives on the western side of the Great Steppe.

Most of the tribes that lives on the western side of the Great Steppe would surely clash with the Western Zhou powers.

It is because of this that the tribes on the western borders of the Great Steppe usually knows each other and allied with each other.

Regardless of whether the western tribes is inside the sphere of the Eastern Great Steppe, the Western Great Steppe or the Northern Great Steppe.

As long as these tribes are tribe that lives on the western border of the Great Steppe, they usually have a sense of camaraderie between them because they share the same enemies

But now, this strongest tribe is the slowest in taking the city gates?

There is a few reasons for this.

One of them is because the general of the city knows the reputation of the Khagai tribe.

Knowing this, he set many defenders on the western walls.

The second reason is because the amount of warrior that Khagai tribe mobilize to fight is actually not that many.

Valgrun look at the wall and hear the screams and see the smokes rising through the air and he could tell that the other gates has been breached.

Morale of the defenders would also be weakened. And with the sound of their city being slaughtered, it would not take long before this gate could be taken

But he is not that anxious to take the city gate.

Valgrun came here to participate in the expedition not because of the bounty he could get.

"The world is changing. And my tribe needs to grasp the change or suffer the consequences" Valgrun is an old veteran of war.

So, he sees the trend of the world more clearly than the others. But the trend that he sees is not the trend of the world that people like Aeryon, Dama and the other chief is looking at.

What people like Aeryon, Dama, Karnain, Garron sees is the trend of the world to unify the world

However what Valgrun is seeing is the trend of the western tribe. Those tribes who border the west has taken it upon themselves to guard the western border

But this is not a task taken willingly. It is because they are there that they have to defend. And each year, the tribes of the western border become weaker.

He could sense this trend. The Western Zhou is also becoming stronger. And they no longer harassed the western border

But this did not mean that they have given up. Instead, they are amassing soldiers, weapons, food to attack later

This is a preparation of a great invasion.

Valgrun knows that right now, Yan is in a state of disarray, and there is a great rebellion on their lands. Western Zhou usually focusses on Yan.

But they also have great interest on the lands of the Great Steppe.

Mostly because they desire the Great Steppe horses.

And they just like the Yan, who is of their ilk wanted to enslave the hard bodied men of the Great Steppe and turns them into their soldiers.

But now that Yan has a problem, Western Zhou could breathe a little bit easy.

And if that is the case, then they might send an expedition to the west.

And this time, Valgrun might not be able to repel it. He did not want more of his men, more of his people die under the constant attack by the people of the Western Zhou.

Western Zhou raided them and so, the people of the Great Steppe raided them back.

Valgrun has many things to think about and many things to consider

And next time they attack, they probably would pierce the western border and took many lands of the people of the Great Steppe.

Then why did he want to come here? Because he wanted to see, who among the great heroes of today that could unite the world

Yes, this is his true intention.

To find someone who could unite the world.

He wanted a Great Ruler to rise among the warlords!
