Chapter 312: The Changes of History

The Yan people has weak spine and weak knees and they bow and kneel wherever they went.

They pat tehri chest and hold their head up high when they meet people weaker than them and when they meet people stronger than them, they bow their head low, prostrate to the ground and kneels and bow

They are a race of flatterer, of liars and killers. Even Roma people do not look highly upon the people of Yan.

They are a race of loudmouthed troublemaker and dirty people. And Mayeux is of course also affected by this thinking.

The people of Yan changes history to their liking and when they kill they uses a thousand words to whitewash their crime.

When people do the same thing to them, they would use hyperbolic words like humiliation of a thousand years and so on and so forth

To Mayeux the people of Yan is even stupider than the people of the Steppe.

The Steppe people at least choose how to die and to whom they would die for and even if they are no educated in the formal sense, they would find a way to seek truth from the lies.

Hence, the people of the Steppe respected the honest people and dislike the liars.

They are easily manipulated but the likes and dislike of the people of the Steppe is hard to hate.

The only reason the people of the Steppe had to be cunning is because they have been lied to by the Yan people for so many years.

So many broken promises and so many oppression and since then the people of the Steppe also learns Yan tactics

But when these tactics is used toward them, they would call the people of the Steppe barbarians and not knowing etiquette when it is the same thing that they had done.

Instead, they even had the gall to say things like they want to teach these barbarians the teachings of the Great Teacher.

When their intention is clear as day.

They give them the book, and the people of the Steppe would end up with words of the Great Teacher they did not believe while the land belongs to the Yan people

How could the people of Yan could not see this trick?

Hence, the so-called virtue that the Emperor of Yan wanted to apply to the people of the Steppe had never worked for the regime of Yan

The reason why Yan has never been able to pacify the grassland and why they will never be able to do it, and will always gain resentment for tyring to do it, has many reason.

But one of the underlying reason is nothing more than the fact that the people of Yan never treated the people of the Great Steppe as humans and because of this, they would never be able to pacify the grasslands

Now, these Yan people are servants of the Steppe people.

But even though Mayeux look down on the Yan people, and believe that they are sheep that follow a strong leader without questioning anything, he is not like Jayeux who is even more extreme than him

He could only sighed when he thinks of the method that Jayeux has chooses.

He did not dare to use that tactics and strategy because he also wanted a good name in history.

The strategy that Jayeux gave him is too extreme. To wash the world with blood and from the blood of the old, rises the new

Jayeux wanted to fight with the whole world. Even though Mayeux did not agree with the method that Jayeux had wanted to do, it did not stop him from admiring Jayeux bravery.

He shook his head,. Trying to shook his thought from thinking too much

Mayeux look around and he could see many horses and caravans around the residential area no doubt helping their customers move their items into their new houses.

Some of these residential area belongs to the soldiers and warriors under Aeryon

The new residential center reflect the city’s transitional nature from nomadic encampment to settled urban center.

Streets on the area is narrow and winding, designed to break the force of the steppe winds. Mayeux did not just walk.

Sometimes he would stop at some tent, greetings people he knows and talking and drinking. Sometimes, he saw people he knows and traded greetings and well wishes.

Some would even invite him to eat and drink at their tents or houses

And before he knows it, it is already evening.

And in the evening, as Mayeux is walking back toward his tent, he could not help but feel that the city took a different character than how it was in the morning and afternoon.

Fires were lit in hearths, and the sounds of the marketplace were replaced by the softer, more intimate noises of domestic life.

From within the walls of the larger houses, one could hear the sounds of music and laughter as families gathered for meals and entertainment.

Outside, in the open spaces, children played and the elders, the storytellers, some old Ashana shared tales of the past, telling the stories of divine steed and their heroic masters that once galloped in the Great Steppe and carved their life in this land

Blending history with myth.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the steppe, the city remained alive with the energy of its inhabitants.

And Mayeux feel elated seeing all of this.

Because the people of the tribe is also his people. Even though he is of Roma descent, he has long lived with the tribe and the tribe treated him like a family.

In his family, there is many complications of relationship. He understood his father, grandfather and even his mother.

When he was child, he only knows how to hate. When he grows up a little more, he sir resentful. And when he grows more, he understand them

He did not approve all of that had happened but he understood it.

His grandfather and father is pitiful person and his mother is also a pitiful person.

He loves his mother, pity his father and pity his grandfather. His father and grandfather relies on his mother to make a place for themselves in the Steppe and has always thought o the tribe as a shackle to their family

But to him, the tribe treated hm like a family. When people are sincere to you, unless you are an animal how could you not reciprocate such sincerity?

He enters his tent and clean himself and as the night began to appear, the messenger that he had send finally returns to his camp. The messenger announces himself and then relay to him that the Kan is ready to meet him

Mayeux rose up from his sitting position. Then he packed all of the bamboo slips and the leather skins and put it into a leather pouch

But he put some of it inside his sleeve

"This is if what I feared happened" he mutters to himself.

And then he quickly goes out of his ten to meet with the Kan

There is a lot to talk about

And Mayeux heart along the way toward the Kan tent is beating like a war drum being hit a thousand beat per second.

....

While Aeryon and Mayeux is about to meet in the tent, a few hundred miles away, the battle between the Chagai tribe and Haltur is intensifying.

It is said that conspiracy is made at night

And truly, these words does not lie.

That night, is a night of changes.

Maybe, a thousand years later the modern generation would look back on this night and realize how many things had happened in a span of one night that would change forever the history of the Steppe and laid down the foundation for the future for many tribes

That night would decide the rise and fall of tribes.

Some would rise and some would fall because of the decision of this night.

The Chagai tribe called upon the allied tribes to aid him in defeating the Haltur tribe and promised them the bounty of wars.

Mercenaries of the Steppe and warriors who wanted to make a name for themselves join the Chagai tribe and attack Haltur

The rain come suddenly, the wind bring no news and in the night Chagai Great Warrior Uhulu led a raid in the night break through five hundred men with the might of two hundred warriors and nearly take the head of the Haltur tribe chief.

A young warrior from Ino tribe come rushing from the rear, holding a spear, swinging and repel Uhulu in three strikes.

But even though this warrior managed to repel Uhulu with three strikes this did not mean Uhulu himself was defeated.

He still stays on horseback and Uhulu is not defeated.

The battle did not end, and the two warriors is about to resume

Following not far behind another spear user from Gir tribe attack Uhulu from the left and from the right a warrior from the Burka tribe tries to pierce through the iron armour of Uhulu using their spear.

Three spears pierced from three direction, the attack of each of them cut through the air, shocking the army!
