Way of Overlord
Chapter 224: Time Is Short

Chapter 224: Time Is Short

Knives and dagger is not the only way to kill people. Naraka Griha taught methods of killing. And method of killings are many

Ayera could tell that all of this change shows the vastness of Aeryon ambition.

The more she could see the ambition, the more she is convinced that one day, if Aeryon is allowed to expand like this, he would trample her tribe under his foot just like the other tribes.

Ayera is not close to Aeryon. It is clear that Aeryon knows his intention from the beginning

"But it would not be Wustkazan or Nergui"

"The West" she thought to herself. But she is not sure whether she should relay this to her father. Because what if she is wrong?

What if all the things she saw is what Aeryon wanted her to see? Aeryon is a person who seems to be able to see a person characters.

And he is very adept at matters of intrigue. Of course, this is only her assumption.

"How should I get information from a person that did not even want to draw close to me. Maybe, I should have stayed a bit longer in Karkotta at that time" she thought to herself

Naraka Griha also taught the method of seducing.

Men could seduce women and women could seduce men. Methods of killings are various and one of the cruellest one is love.

But Ayera did no learn that method. She did not learn the method of seducing, learning the secret of Kama.

That is what the study of seducing is called in Naraka Griha. The Secret of Kama. And there is a Sutra in there teaching the methods of worldly pleasures that would even intoxicate gods and goddesses

Ayera did not learn it because he was more interested in the method of Maut. The method of Death

The method of Kali and the Method of Kala.

Use of arms and shields, of terrains and heavens and earth.

She learns this method.

She might not be able to fight Aeryon one on one, but if its about assassination, she is more proficient in such method than everyone in Aeryon tribe

It is a pity that she did not finish her study. But there is also an upside to that.

If she had finished her studied, she would never be able to leave Naraka Griha.

She is not inducted into the mystical secret of the Naraka Griha and she was not allowed to see the Sutras that teaches more advanced method. So, even tough she learns the method of Maut, her studies is incomplete

But even then, she still manages to become quite resilient and quite a dangerous one.

Even fi she is given the choice again, right now, she would not choose to finish the studies in the Naraka Griha.

That is a dark place and the darkness of desire converge there

She sist at the low table and shakes her head

"I could only try to be closer to him. To make sure that I have a more accurate news" She got up from her seat and then she went out of the cold. She informs her me that she would be going to her tent

When she says that everyone understood. The tent that is referring to is that tent built for Aeryon and her

She is going back.

...

Ayera enters the tent and she could see that it is empty.

The servant informs her that the Chief is in his other tent, waiting for Mayeux. Ayera could only sigh at this.

"I will wait" she said. She look around the tent and she sighs again

"How should I get close to him?" Ayera has done many things since she came here. She did her bets to help this tribe. She brought Burchu and she helps the tribe solve the matter of the nine horses.

She also helps around the tribe. And even though she managed to wins the hearts of the elders and many of the members of the tribe, she seems to forget something else

The most important heart that she should win is not the elders. Not the tribes member. That is only auxiliary.

She should win Aeryon heart

Usually, Ayera would think of ways to fight or to further the ambition of her tribe. But tonight, as she sat on the bed in the tent, she thought of ways on how to get close. And as she thinks about it she drifted to sleep

...

Aeryon is already woken up from his brief nap.

The moment he wakes up, a messenger come to his tent and said that Mayeux has been informed but he would come a little late.

Aeryon raised his eyebrows but knowing Mayeux, he must have something more important to do.

If other people does this in his presence, it would not end amicably like this. Since Aeryon took over the tribe, he increases the majesty of the chief position.

Only in this way, the tribe would see themselves as strong. Being carefree and being amiable has its time and place

When in an official setting one should adapt to the situation.

But Mayeux and Belarion is the exception.

For Belarion he is Aeryon sworn brother.

If he treated Belarion like any other, it would chill the hearts of those Elders that have watched and supported him since he was a child.

It is good talking about separating private and public matter but reality is not as rosy as ideals.

Just because you separate private and public matter, you would be a good ruler? Not necessarily.

Sometimes, human touch is necessary and Aeryon understood this.

Not to mention that Belarion is loyal to him.

Loyal to the tribe, loyal to him. In the tribe everyone knows that most of the etiquette that Aeryon had established when speaking with the chief and meeting the chief is ignored by Belarion.

Other people that does it would get beaten by a stick as punishment.

But Belarion could strode into the chief tent without informing anyone and could sit wherever he want

This is his privilege.

Then the other one is Mayeux.

Aeryon waves his hand, waving the servant out from his tent.

"Mayeux plans right now is progressing rapidly. I am just worried about the movement of those other tribes" he sighed to himself

He had expected this to happen since he began his expansion.

But there is too many tribes and too many forces in the Great Steppe. This is one of the differences between Aeryon Great Steppe and the Great Steppe in his world

From what Aeryon inferred on his own, this planet that he is on is probably bigger than Earth.

There is also monsters though not in high quantity.

But it is rumoured that sometimes, if you ride the horses at night and hear the hissing sound that sound like a combination of snake hissing and a growly voice, that is not a snake or a lion.

But a basilisk like monsters. There is also Yeti like creatures that is said to inhabit the Yindu mountain range and in the far north region of the Great Steppe.

Monsters exist but they could be killed. Even in Yan there were stories of large snakes that is around thirty feet in length

That is nearly the size of a Titanoboa in the prehistoric age.

One thing he is sure of is that this world while it have some similarities, it also has its differences

Though, monsters are the least of his concern right now.

There is too many forces in the Great Steppe.

And none of them are easy opponent.

This is one of the reasons why Mayeux told him to consolidate his power in the winter, organize the tribe, reform the military and create a unified command system

in the beginning he could still keep up with the information but now as dozens of tribes are making moves, Aeryon need someone to keep him updated and divine the meaning of these people.

As long as he could capture the general trend then there is nothing to worry about. He is just worried that he would be caught unaware of his enemies schemes and plot

And there is another matter that he is worried about

he is also worried about the internal matter of his tribe right now. Specifically, the tribes that are under him right now.

And also, the clans

Theya re worrying him. Aeryon plans in the future involved many battles and war.

And he do not want to deal fire in his house when he is fighting in a different area.

The internal problem should be solved

The case of the Nine stolen horses shows that these chiefs did not fully trust him and they keep testing him to know where his limits are and to know his intention.

And Aeryon...he does not like being tested.

"The time is still too short"

They are still not used to the way Aeryon runs his tribe

No, it is more accurate to say that he is already creating a kingdom here.

The Steppe also has its own kingdom though the border control is not like any other nations.

Because the Great Steppe is vast it is very hard to enforce any labour control and because of the difference between each tribe, controlling borders is a very complicated job.

These chiefs also don’t know Aeryon ambition and so their view is limited.

To them, it might just be like before where an overlord rose and then when the overlord fell, the tribes could revive back under a different name

Aeryon had no intention of doing that. He wanted to create a unified Great Steppe under his banner

Only then the Great Steppe could survive the coming years and the current age of chaos.
