Chapter 179: Rushing to Battle

"It is quite the alliance" he thought to himself.

When he first heard it, he could tell that this alliance could very well be the strongest alliance in the Southern Great Steppe.

Chadha demeanour and his personality and his reputation as someone who is not warlike actually come into his favour in brokering the alliance.

Ultar and Nergui tribe are both tribes that have alliances or dealings with the Chagai tribe. But the two tribe itself did not have alliance with each other

Instead, it is more accurate to say that these two tribes are enemies of each other tribes

When the Aksak tribe was destroyed, their lands and the resources they possess become the point of contention between the Ultar and Nergui tribe

And this conflict which is a small conflict in the beginning became more and more intense and not before long the battle between these two tribes become so catastrophic that Chadha probably think that if he did not stop it, those two tribes would destroy itself

If those two tribes that he is good with is destroyed, then maybe, later when other threat come down from the north, without allies that he could trust his tribe would also be threatened.

As such, The Cha-Ner-Ul Alliance was established.

Chadha proposed a comprehensive peace treaty and it was this proposal that marked the inception of the Cha-Ner-Ul Alliance.

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.

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.

Aeryon influence and effect is now slowly changing the power dynamic of the Southern Great Steppe

And then Valgrun look at another part of the map. He looks toward the east of the map. There, is a tribe near a large mountain range.

The Esbizuk tribe.

Now, Esbizuk tribe is also quite a remarkable tribe

Though before this, they were not as famous as they are now.

And the reason why they are so famous right now is none other than because of Dama, the One-Eyed Dragon

"Another young hero" he thought to himself

Dama is an arrogant child but his arrogance come from a place of confidence.

This is a man who survived many assassinations, someone who had steel his heart. He idolizes strength and despise weakness in him and in his men

And because of that, his men are all strong and brutal like him.

Just like Aeryon, he raises up his tribe and now on the eastern lower side of the Southern Great Steppe, Dama has the power to call ten thousand men under his banner.

Not to mention the mountain tribes that has been subjugated by him.

Most people who estimate the strength of Dama did not include the fact that Dama did not only subjugated tribes on the Great Steppe, but he also make the mountain tribes of the Yindu mountain range near his tribe to surrender to him.

If that was added, then how many more men could Dama summons?

Dama could also be a unifier.

He has the capital to try for the position.

Looking at the candidate, he could not help but sigh.

These two are a hero of a generation, he thought to himself

"It is really hard choosing between these two" he thought to himself.

Suddenly as he was weighing the pros and con, a messenger enters his tent unceremoniously.

There is a happy expression on the face of the messenger and Valgrun smiles

"The gate is broken?" before the messenger could say anything Valgrun had already said what the messenger wanted to say

Valgrun roll the map and put it to the side as he walks outside the tent

He rides his chariot as his men accompany him to enter the city

The sound of the marching of his men is like the unform sound of a war drum beating

The western gate has been breached, all the four gates of the city of Nurshira has now bene taken down, the barbarian is now inside the city

Nurshira has fallen!

....

Aeryon enter the city and the moment he is inside he began fighting. Outside and inside of the city, it is a different fight

And now inside the city, the battle is even more intense.

"Attack!" Belarion shouted on another side of the battlefield, the fighting is fierce and blood is shed, death and life is divided only by an inch

The sound of swords , spears and shield clashing together forms a sound like no other

Screams and shouts drowned by the chaos of it all

and on another part of the battlefield there is rains of arrows raining down on the defenders of the city

The defenders fall down one by one, their body is pierced by the sharp arrow. If they are not killed by the arrow attack, they would either die by the sword of the warriors of the Great Steppe.

Some of the Great Steppe warrior uses spear and they stab people without stopping, and blood keep on falling to the ground dyeing the road red

Aeryon warriors are like wolves and they all fought fiercely.

Just by looking at them is enough to instil fear in the hearts of the common people of Yan

Belarion took the lead and rush through the warriors like he is some tank. He kills everyone in front of him as easily like swatting a fly

As he moves forward, he also drew more attacker toward him, protecting Mayeux flank

Whenever any officers or soldiers came close to encircling Mayeux, he would kill them all with one slash.

His weapons become so heavy with blood that he had to throw it away and grab the enemy weapons. In his hand, these weapons did not even last a few slashes before the sword either bent or broke

Belarion strength is monstrous and because of that normal weapon could not withstand the exertion of such force.

When he cut people, it cut flesh and bones all together. Belarion men is like him. So, when they saw Belarion is rushing forward to fight, Belarion no longer restrained himself and rushed into the formation of officers and soldiers with a roar and began wreaking havoc.

Mayeux on the other hand took some of his men with excellent archery skill to shoot arrows on both side of the street.

Horses are hard to navigate in some of the corners of the city and some of the warriors jumped down from his horse and began setting fires and killing

The streets are narrow and hundreds of officers and soldiers were rushed into several sections.

Aeryon himself is like an unrestrained war god as he punches and slash people. Sometimes he punches with his unarmed hand and sometimes he slashes down people with his sword.

And Aeryon warriors follow him wherever he goes and no matter the resistance of the defenders they could not stop Aeryon and his men march toward the city main buildings

How could these defenders of the Nurshira city who have not experienced war and baptism of constant battle be the opponent of the young warriors of the Great Steppe?

It didn’t take long before the Steppe warriors kills all the officers that tries to block them. Their blood washes the roads and limbs and separated head is on the side of the street like some kind of weird plants

On the other side, as Belarion keep on killing, his eyes turn red as he pursues the defending soldiers of the city like a madman

To him, this was a defeated troop. And there is no easier person to kill then a person who reveals their back to the enemy

Aeryon frowns. Belarion is good in leading his men and he is also very strong and his shock impact toward the enemy is good

But when he is overexcited like this, he could bring trouble. He is so far away from the others and he could get isolated.

Aeryon thought to himself.

Aeryon might be fighting right now but he did not push himself too forward, letting most of his men to take the brunt for him as he directed the battle from behind or from the side

Aeryon wanted to shout something but Belarion keep fighting forward

And he gritted his teeth.

"Right now, we need to take the defensive structure and take down the high-ranking officials and military fortification" he thought

it is not the time to chase defeated troops

Aeryon gesture with his finger and one of the warriors come to him

"Quickly ride toward Belarion and told him to stop!" this warrior nodded, jump onto his horse and rides toward Belarion

"Warrior Belarion! Stop chasing the defeated troops! Fall back and focus on the objective!" even though that warrior come close and his shout could be heard by all the men behind Belarion, Belarion himself does not seem to hear the voice

Belarion is strong, every one of Aeryon tribe knows this. But strong does not mean invincible.

Aeryon himself knows this. What Yan possess is the ability to use all kinds of weapons.

They crafted many weapons for war.

And they also have weapons that could constrain people with innate strength

This weapon is the one that make Aeryon felt uneasy.

"Belarion, you must not die" he thought to himself and as moment passed, Aeryon could not help but feel a little bit more worried.
