Chapter 230: The Danger of the Cha-Ner-Ul Alliance

After that declaration by Mayeux, Aeryon once again look at the map. There is an oppressive silence in the tent

Aeryon look at the map and then he notices the Burka tribe

"Does it have something to do with them? And that is why Mayeux said it has something to do with the Bolghar tribe?" Aeryon thought to himself.

"Burka tribe is also near them. Is this the breakthrough point that Mayeux is talking about?" Aeryon thought to himself as he looks at the map.

Mayeux is beside Aeryon and he did not disturb Aeryon thinking.

He seems to want Aeryon to think about it and maybe they would reach the same conclusion.

Though Mayeux don’t think that Aeryon would think the same thing as he is.

This is the difference between information.

The information that he have, Aeryon also have.

But he infers deeper into the information.

But Mayeux did not look down on Aeryon because of this.

Instead, he is feeling grateful. If Aeryon could do everything by himself, then what is the use of having him.

Aeryon keep looking at the map

But Aeryon shakes his head

"Burka tribe would not want Bolghar to be too weak. And attacking Bolghar tribe right now would not be logical" he thought to himself.

"Why do you think that way?" Mayeux ask and Aeryon knows that this is Mayeux way of teaching him

Aeryon pointed toward the Chagai tribe location he map

"There is the Cha-Ner-Ul alliance breathing on their necks" Aeryon answer

Mayeux nodded.

"Then what do you think I mean when I said the solution is in Bolghar?" Aeryon frowns and he looks at the map again

"I missed something: he thought to himself

He then paced around the tent. Mayeux left him to his own devices, for him to think to himself.

Aeryon is rubbing the bottom of his chin, closing his eyes as he pace around in the tent trying to make sense of the information he knows

"Mayeux and I talked about this. With Cha-Ner-Ul alliance, Chagai tribe itself suddenly become a major player in the western region. With twenty thousand or more people could be called with a summon, Chagai tribe truly become a great power relying simply on diplomacy"

" I never thought that such a chief could really be something. It is only after hearing the news I learn the words never judge a book by its cover by heart" he thought to himself

Last time, when he stopped at the Chagai tribe, he met that chief.

Chadha of Chagai.

That chief was enthusiastic meeting him, so much so that Aeryon was caught off guard of how welcomed he is.

Yes, he did gives them gifts and livestock but he did not expect such a warm welcome.

Of course, Aeryon believes it is because of the large army that brought him such respect.

At that time, Aeryon admit that he look down a bit at the chief of the Chadha and at that time he made a rash judgement

That Chadha of Chagai would not do anything big, this kind of person could be a follower but not a leader, not someone great, not someone that could help him in his ambition but someone to subdue and subjugate

Aeryon really believe that. He never thought he was wrong....at least at that time.

And Chadha even wanted to help him contribute to the attack to the other tribes nearby.

This eagerness to him seems like weakness

Aeryon at that time wanted Duhai and Zlata tribe to fall under his tribe so it was like giving a pillow to him when he is about to sleep

That is when he struck an alliance with the Chagai tribe. A handshake and a few words seal this alliance

This alliance, one of the main clauses of it was that when his tribe region bordered with Chagai tribe later, they should protect each other against any other invading tribes and protect each other grazing spaces.

Chadha is tall for the people of this era. Standing five feet six, he is tall among his men. Other than a few outstanding warriors, Chadha is quite tall.

And even though he smiles and always look like a jovial presence, he exudes this commanding presence

A man that demands respect from those around him.

And in his youth, he is known as a pure warrior, a hellraiser among his people, raiding horses and cows, and Tayak.

He is also known sometimes to play the bandits, robbing the caravans that come from the north that wanted passage to reach Yan.

He has many wives, many sons, and he seems to be the kind of chief who is decadent. He has a large belly but not exactly flabby. When he fights it is like he is a tough cannonball.

Aeryon dd not see him fight but he could imagine it.

But all of this is when he is young.

Chadha....is no longer young.

And no longer young, the edges of that danger has been clean shaven

This kind of chief wanted stability for his tribe, not danger.

Surviving is already hard enough, there is no reason to make it harder.

At that time, when he evaluates Chadha, he thought this old chief only wanted stability.

Judging from the history of that tribe, they never expands their lands unless they were attacked and had to attack back and, in that process, sometimes they took control of the region they were attacking

But even then, the expansion is not large enough to raise eyebrows nor big enough to raise his threat level in the eyes of the other chief.

He is no longer the hellraiser he was when he was young and all of his ambition seems to be snuffed out by the times.

But it is that old man, that old man who Aeryon thought would not do anything big, actually created such a tripartite alliance that even Aeryon right now have a headache on how to settle this matter.

"That old man is not the Viper. He is not cunning and treacherous, but his smile hides blades, and his words could convince the world black is white and white is black" it is only after the alliance was agreed upon that Aeryon see how dangerous Chadha really is.

This tripartite alliance reminded him of one example in history.

Hojo-Takeda-Imagawa Alliance (Kousousun Sangoku Doumei) literally means "Alliance of the three provinces of Kai (Takeda), Sagami (Hojo), and Suruga (Imagawa)."

And thinking of this Aeryon could not help but chuckles a bit

"Then who am I? Oda Nobunaga?" And he almost laugh at the thought

Aeryon himself admired this kind of move and Mayeux even more so. He did not even fight and he got the benefit, creating a strong alliance.

Benefitting without even fighting, using his mouth to convince the two tribes to lay down their weapons, forget old feuds and for a moment to look outward.

Of course, it might seem easy but all kinds of luck and circumstances come together to help Chadha.

This old man when he doesn’t speak, he looks like a harmless old man. When he speaks, he got twenty thousand men and twenty thousand horses.

There is nothing more terrifying than this.

Aeryon had to fight and led his men to fight, Chadha walk to the tent of two feuding tribes, speak some words, smiles a little , drinks a few Ayrag, and won them both.

"Did he max out his persuasion skill or something?" Aeryon thought to himself.

If this world is a game, he is quite sure that old man had maxed out all of his persuasion attributes.

He shakes his head.

"Focus back"

Cha-Ner-Ul alliance.

But it is precisely because of a such strong alliance, that Burka tribe would not attack Bolghar tribe

It might seem weird why Aeryon seems to be wishing Bolghar to be attacked when they are allies but it is because Aeryon realizes from the very beginning that if he was to take down the western region of the Southern Great Steppe, he either have to destroy the Bolghar tribe, make this tribe his vassal tribe or force them to surrender.

But if Bolghar is strong as they are now, if Aeryon attacked them directly, he would lose many people.

If he tries to force them to become his vassal, how could Bolghar tribe agrees.

It is the same for surrendering. Bolghar tribe would not surrender without a fight.

And such battle between Brolgadhr and Bolghar tribe would take months. Their lands is large and Aeryon land is also large.

Not to mention if he takes it like that, all the western tribes would not just sit down and let him stroll on their backyards.

What about Kanun, Utgard, and those other tribes on his backyard?

They are already wary of him so he could not use all of his force to attack, and he must leave some of them to protect the tribe.

Cha-Ner-Ul alliance, would they just remain still? It might seem like Chagai tribe would not do anything but that was before

Now, that they have power, who knows what kind of plan they have and what do they dare do now that they did not dare do before.

Power changes people. Rarely it doesn’t change people.

And now Chagai tribe has power, influence and a large army of horsemen that could be mobilized

If Chadha could convince the two tribes of Ultar and Nergui to create an alliance , is it so preposterous to think he could convince other tribes to attack him when his main force is not there?
