Chapter 241: The Push of the Era

And after Aeryon rise, many more ambitions men had risen up. One is more dangerous than the other

From the merchants and the people, he sent , he got news that in the eastern region of the Southern Great Steppe, there is a tribe rising there called Esbizuk.

Before, Chadha has never sent his men that far away to seek news about things that does not affect his tribe. But now everyone is sending someone.

In this kind of atmosphere where everyone is sizing up each other, and wanting to destroy the other, information is truly power.

Dama is rising in the east, contained only by one of the fragments of the Kazan tribe.

Sordkazan that is a fragment of the Kazan tribe and from the news, it seems they are more formidable than the main Kazan tribe.

It is because Chadha had learned that Sordkazan is the only Kazan fragment tribe that went to the South to fight against Yan

Is it only because they want the riches of the city of Yan?

No, Chadha doesn’t think so.

Reputation. Chadha believe that reputation is the gain of the Sordkazan tribe

Because right now, those tribes that went to attack Yan stand on a higher ground than anyone else.

The Ashana praise those four tribes that went to fight against Yan forces and won.

Because the Yan have been killing the people of the great Steppe since the time of the Songnu Federation

There is that Huo Bing or was it Huo Kubing that kills children of the Steppe and rape the woman of the Steppe.

The people of Yan swore that they would not stop until they killed all of the people of the Steppe. Having such a crazy neighbour, the Great Steppe become stronger with each generation to counter the evilness of Yan people.

Hence, when the four tribes, the Brolgadhr, the Khagai, Sordkazan and Esbizuk managed to kill their way to Nurshira, take down that city and bring down its wall, they are praised by the Ashana.

Defending the Great Land, avenging the death and the bereaved and create a new hope for the people of the Steppe.

At the same time, it dispel all notions that the Yan is invincible. That alone is the biggest gain in that expedition.

The Ashana lavishes praise toward these four tribes and as such, there is virtue in these four tribes and great warriors would feel more befitting of their status to serve such tribes.

The Ashana also could recommended many warriors to these four tribes.

However, these praises means nothing to the Brolgadhr tribe. Even without the praise, or the recommendation of Ashana, they still would attract great warriors to join.

Everyone could see that Brolgadhr tribe is rising

And many would place their bet on the Brolgadhr tribe to emerge the winner

It also means nothing to the Esbizuk tribe. The reputation of the Esbizuk tribe is not that pleasant in the eastern part of the Southern Great Steppe

Hence, these praises by the Ashan today would turns into a sharp knife later. Knowing Dama propensity for violence, it would not be long before he squandered his good reputation

And the Esbizuk tribe never cares that much about their reputation.

Dama way of ruling is through force and fear. And it work very well for him to keep the people under him, in control

Dama forces are not humans beings. But monsters. At least this is the thought of many chiefs that went against Dama .

He recruited mountain tribes people. And these people would not respond to a kind leader but respect strong and fearsome chief.

And that is what Dama is. Conquering the world by force, ruling by the sword! This is Dama current method of governance.

And in some places this might not work but in the area of the East, where only the strongest and the most fearsome would survive, Dama method work beautifully

Hence, to them whether the Ashan praise them or not, it did not matter at all

As for Khagai even without the assault on Nurshira, they still occupies the high moral ground because the Khagai tribe is the tribe on the western border, protecting the center of the Great Steppe for the invasion of Western Zhou.

Even without that reputation they are still honoured

The only one that have use for this reputation is the Sordkazan.

In a way, people might even think that Sordkazan is the rightful heir to the Kazan name and not the Kazan tribe.

Because while the Kazan tribe is attacking the Altai tribe, the Sordkazan tribe fought for the Great Steppe, avenging the death of their ancestors

Chadha does not know whether the chief of Sordkazan deliberately enter the battle of Nurshira or not

Maybe he doesn’t think that far and enter because of a more tangible benefit.

With Sordkazan winning the bet, they now are also a strong force. And Chadha also have to think the hidden meaning of why Aeryon choose Sordkazan

Is it because of his intention of attacking Nurshira that he ask Sordkazan or was there a hidden intention? With Sordkazan being stronger, then Dama could not easily move west.

Maybe this is also the hidden intention of Aeryon and why he invited Sordkazan.

And Sordkazan itself, they might also enter that battle because they needed to gain reputation and to gain resources.

It is good now that their bet worked and now they become stronger. Maybe this is also something that the Brolgadhr tribe intended

Or maybe the chief of Sordkazan doesn’t think that far.

Whatever the case was, it is undeniable that after the battle of Nurshira, among the four fragmentary tribes of the Kazan, Sordkazan is taking the lead.

If he fights for that title of the true Kazan tribe, Sordkazan now has a chance to be acknowledged by the other tribe as the legitimate Kazan tribe.

That is also something Chanda pays attention about. Because the Kazan’s have bene fighting for that name for decades now.

But before, there is nothing that they could do against each other. Everyone was restrained in one way or another.

Now, there is so many changes that the old pattern could no longer be used.

"Kazan tribe is not something I should worry about right now"

Yes, they could be a formidable force. But knowing the ambitions of these Kazan’s, they would not have the ambition that Aeryon have.

So, Chagai tribe that is far away from Kazan tribe have nothing to worry about

And Kazan have many other problems that they should worry about

And the tribes that should be worried about Kazan threat is not him.

If there is tribes that should worry about the Kazan it would be the tribes in the center region and the eastern region of the Southern Greta Steppe.

If any of the Kazan truly managed to unite all of the fragments of the Kazan tribe, that is another formation of a great force in the Southern Great Steppe.

Chadha only wanted to know if these tribes would affect him.

For now, they are too far away to be a concern.

"So, Haltur is the best choice" he thought to himself.

Since he made the tripartite alliance, more and more unexpected thing has begun to happen and some of these changes is something that he did not expect at all.

Some of it....is good. Some....not so much

Suddenly because of the alliance, Chagai tribe is now considered powerful tribe. And when he himself began tallying the numbers, it really is.

Of course, when he propose the alliance, he wanted to make his tribe becomes powerful and expand his influence.

But the primary objective of him proposing the alliance is survival and safety.

Chadha could not feel safe when all of the tribes are expanding almost every day, fighting every day.

And he does not want to be subjugated or destroyed just like the other tribes that Aeryon had trampled on.

He could not trust that Aeryon would not one day come to his tribe and forces him to surrender.

And he could not trust the other tribes around him. He could see the trend that is forming. Bigger tribes is caanizbailing on the small tribe. And then, they would comepoete with each other.

But, the threat that is most threatening to him was Aeryon.

Because it is clear from Aeryon action, that he does not want other Kan around him at all. He would not enfeoff lands or power instead, he would put all that power into himself

Then where would he put all of those chiefs? What about his sons? What about his tribesmen?

"I don’t want to fight. But the era forces me to fight" Chadha thought to himself.

In the Brolgadhr tribe, those who are subjugated peacefully is put in his Elder Council.

It might seem like a prestigious position.

It is if it is placed in other tribes.

In other tribes, each Elder is look upon highly by the members of the tribe and the chief.

But that is in other tribes.

It is not in Aeryon tribe.
