Chapter 235: The Threat In the East

Chapter 235: The Threat In the East

"I would like not to think on this for too long" he thought to himself. It would be best if he occupies the greatest advantage.

Then he does not have to choose. And he does not have to make hard choices. But he also knows

He is just beginning. This is the period where he had to make a choice

The system could help him. But the quest it gave him could sometimes be impossible for him to complete it.

For example, if he did not think of using the Invincibility Card like he did before, today situation might not come to pass.

The system could help him. Maybe, later, when he already stacked up a lot of abilities and skills, the use of the system would become easier.

But for now, there is still hard choices. He still needs help and he needs people.

The silence in the tent is depressing. Aeryon pace back and froth and then after a while he stopped.

He sighed. And then he ask

"If we go with this plan, we need to see the attitude of the Cha Ner Ul alliance"

Mayeux nodded but from the way he smiles, he must be very confident that the Cha Ner Ul alliance would send army to take Haltur.

There is another silence and Aeryon could not help but ask

"Are you so sure that they would make a move?" Mayeux shakes his head

"Then why are you so confident?"

"If they didn’t move, we could incite them to move" Chuckling Mayeux then said

"And it is not hard at all right now. Each chief right now could see the change and the trend. And everyone is no longer playing passively"

There is a cunning smile on his face as he continues saying

"They are all expanding. They expand because they need to make a move. Because not making any moves right now means being stagnant. Means that they are not growing. And in this current climate, not growing, not expanding means you are going to be swallowed by the predator around you" he paused for a second and then added

"Swallowed by the times. By the era. By the great change that is coming. There is chaos everywhere. War everywhere. Death everywhere. Soon enough, a great change would happen. This was my prediction. Even if you, my Kan does not rise up, someone else will. Someone will ride this era, fight it, or go along with it"

Laughing a bit Mayeux continues saying " This is a thick forest. And now everyone is hunting. If you are weak, you would be devoured."

And Chagai is no different. I know this because Chadha created the alliance."

Hmm?"

Mayeux explains after seeing Aeron face. That is a puzzled expression.

"Chadha appears to my lord like someone who could be a subordinate. You did not do much against Chadha because you believe that he would surrender if being pushed a little"

Aeryon nodded at this. He met Chadha and sees that tribe. It is quite a strong tribe bunt the chief does not seem eager to expand.

"Maybe, at that time, it was true. But when you truly take Duhai tribe and Zlata tribe, Chadha probably thinks something else

"Think something else?"

"Unification. He probably did not expect Kan to win. Or even if Kan win, you would not expand more. Maybe he realizes it when he meets you, or maybe he realizes it later. And maybe he thinks that in that new order, there is no place for his tribe"

Then Mayeux shakes his head

"It does not matter what he think about. It matters that he had ambitions. It matters...that now....he cares"

Smiling Mayeux continue saying

"If he has no ambition, he would not propose such a tripartite alliance. If he is content to just ride along the era, he would surrender to the strongest force around him and continue the lineage of his tribe. If that is the person Chadha was, then my Kan need not worry. He would not be a rival to you"

Chuckling, Mayeux then ask

"But did he do that?"

He ask and he answer

"He did not"

"Hahaha!" he laughed and then added "Maybe, it is true that he simply did not want those two to attack each other to death so he facilitated the alliance. But what is true then, does not mean it is true now"

"You mean...."

Mayeux takes a deep breath and then walk around the tent and then he said

"It is funny that sometimes a man ambitions is determined by the things he has and by the things he does not have"

"A commoner do not dream of becoming the Emperor. An Emperor do not dream to become a carpenter, a clown. But give them a chance, give them an opportunity, mixed in with some fear and fate and destiny, a commoner could fight the world and rise to holy position"

Mayeux laugh and then again he speak

"An Emperor toss to the outside, without the possibility of returning, would only try to live and in living, they choose dreams that are most acceptable, dreams that they could achieve"

Aeryon could understand what Mayeux is going with this.

"twenty thousand warriors, three tribes united as one, this is the capital to compete for the world. How could Chagai not desirer to expand? He sees a chance now. He could even compete with us in the west."

"This is a great danger. And a great danger like this should be neutralized early. We must not give them any more time to grow larger and bigger"

Aeryon still remains silent.

Outside, the cold wind blows and the night become deeper. The bright moon shine could not be seen amidst the snow that flutters in this cold night

Mayeux paused for a second and then he said

"My Kan. I know you are worried about Dama. About the East "

Aeryon nodded

"I never seen a man I want to kill that much" Aeryon confesses.

He sighed for a moment and then he looks at the map. He looks at one particular point on the map

The East of the map.

Esbizuk tribe

And then he spoke

"Dama is strengthening his grip on the Eastern side. He even recruited the mountain people of Yindu and he forces dozens of tribes to swear toward him" he paused for a second and then mutters

"He is getting stronger. Those mountain men are known to have great fighting prowess. And I have seen them fight. They fight like madman. Tattoos all over their body, ripping people up like they are starving tigers."

Aeryon close his eyes for a second, remembering a particular scene during the battle in Nurshira.

"I remember I saw one of this mountain men got his hand chopped off. Instead of flinching in pain, he took his right arm with his left hand and throws that right hand which is holding the sword toward his enemy. When another fighter cut of his left hand, he bites that person to death. And even when he is at death door, he is laughing, like a madman"

It is clear those scenes impressed him heavily

"They were fighting more like monster than they do humans. They lack any coordination and discipline. But the terror.....oh, the terror"

The terror that they inflict upon their enemies is obvious.

Aeryon close his eyes, and raise up his chins, his face facing above and he sighed. He opens his eyes, looking at Mayeux and then said

"Right now, those tribes bows to him because they are afraid. But once Dama could show them real interest that could be gained by following him, then those chiefs would probably think it is also better to side with him than fight with him"

Aeryon voices out of his concern.

Aeryon of course focus most of his time in the west.

But he met Dama. And from the moment he met that person, Aeryon had this inkling.

This man is dangerous. And when he knows about the bloodthirsty warriors of the Esbizuk tribe, he could not help but shudder.

Aeryon had prepared himself for a lot of the evil things a man could do in a war. But all of them pales in comparison seeing the evil Dama could inflict onto another person

Aeryon believe that one day when history examine this part of the year, the cold ink on the books would say that Dama of the Esbizuk tribe commits a massacre.

Or it would soke of a great killing.

But words could convey only a fraction of the terror of that massacre. Because words on a history book is impersonal, cold

It is said that after a certain number, humans could no longer sympathize

This is why in any propaganda, to diminish a certain death, sometimes the more that is killed, the better.

One would cry when they see a pregnant woman being killed, or a father seeing his son gunned down or a son having had to witness the death of his parents.

But if a passage in a newspaper write that "a million people die because of a war" the human brain shut down.

Because a million is a terrifying number.

But it is also a number that you could hardly comprehend. Normal people have never seen a million dollars, even more so than a million people

It shut down
