Chapter 314: Night of Many Dreams

There is another thing that Chadha did not expect

Chadha never expected that the three tribes of the west would aid Haltur tribe without hesitation like this and he was caught unaware.

When Chadha learned that Uhulu nearly took the head of the Haltur tribe chief, Chadha runs out from his tent to welcome Uhulu and said to him

"It is my fault that my great warrior Uhulu could not perform great deed"

Chadha then lamented that if only he gave more soldiers to Uhulu, tonight would be the end of Haltur tribe, the battle would be over, and the west would be decided

This shows to everyone his humility that he rarely shows.

Chadha since he became the Chagai chief has always been quite soft and gentle, and he handle the matters of the tribe with ease, appeasing those who he should appease, punish who he should punish, balancing any forces in the tribes and almost everyone was convinced by him

When he created the alliance and Chagai tribe becomes strong, he changes his approach, showing a domineering and overbearing attitude but while this kind of change in attitude would be frowned upon in Yan, it is highly regarded in the Great Steppe

How could a strong man would humble himself under a weak tribe? This is not humility but humiliation.

And no one would seek refuge under such leader that do not show his strength, debase himself like that when clearly he is in the strong position

Too much force and too much arrogance would bring down any great man but too much humility would let people look down on you

Everything must be in moderation and one must wisely walk between these two lines.

Because to the people of the Steppe, if this person could not even have confidence even in himself, how could the world be confident of him?

In Yan, humility would bring reputation. In Steppe, too much humility would let people look down on you.

And Chadha knows this and so when the strength is enough to fit the attitude, Chadha changes his attitude.

And because of that the warriors in the tribe is convinced and the warriors outside the tribe was attracted and take refuge under him

But then when he shows humility toward Uhulu, did not blame the Great Warrior Uhulu and instead put the blame on himself, even though it is an act of humility it did not make other warriors look down on Chadha.

Because this time, he put his humility and debase himself for his people

And no one would scorn such a person.

A superior would debase himself to absolve the guilt of their inferior and the desire for talent is vividly shown in this deed and surely would win the hearts of the warriors that fought for him

Chadha is more of a diplomatic chief than most than the other chief in the region but the circumstances forces him to change and adapt a more forceful approach in some and a more political action in another

and in this particular incident it shows a bit of the same kind of temperament that Aeryon the self-proclaimed Kan had.

Dama controls his men with fear and might. Aeryon control his men with interest, fear, desire and spirit.

Each chief have their own method and way and the only method that would win is the method that work

Chadha then brought Uhulu into his tent, rewarded the warriors that follow Uhulu and entertain Uhulu like an esteemed guest.

Not once has he blamed Uhulu and Uhulu was greatly touched and he promised that night that he would surely take the head of the Haltur chief and present it to Chadha

Chadha simply said

"If Uhulu said it, then it would be realized"

This is simply the affirmation and trust that Chadha gave to Uhulu.

Uhulu is not even an insider of the tribe but Chadha could give him so much trust.

If this story is spread around over the Southern Great Steppe, many warriors would surely flock to his side.

If even Uhulu, a wandering warrior could be treated so grandly by the Chief of Chagai tribe, those with much talent than Uhulu would surely be able to make more achievement and have more merits

Uhulu bravery inspires the warriors, Chadha method invites the talents of the world!

If Chadha is still young and has time he could aim for the world and become a hegemon.

But there is no if in life just like Uhulu failed to kill Haltur tribe and how Chadha could not become younger.

If Uhulu had managed to kill Haltur chief tribe this night, Aeryon plan would be dashed and the plans that Mayeux had crafted so carefully would have crumbled

It would not be an exaggeration that it would change the entire power dynamic in the western side of the lower Southern Great Steppe and delay Aeryon ambition for a couple of years.

Three Spears from the West defended the Chief of Haltur tribe thus maintaining the plan.

At the same time that this night was an event of close calls between victor and loser, another tribe also makes a move that night

Bolghar make a night raid on one of the affiliated tribe of the Burka tribe.

The Chief of the Bolghar had consulted the Ashana a few weeks before.

No one knows what he consulted the Ashana for but to those who are close to him, they all know what the Ashana consulted about.

The Ashana burns the bones, look at the blue sky in the morning, look at the sunset in the evening and when night came, the Ashana look at the stars, divining the hidden destiny and fate

For three days, the Ashana consulted Heaven and Earth and they finally found a date that would be auspicious.

And the moment is tonight

For weeks the Bolghar has been assessing the tribes around them.

The chief of the Bolghar primarily look at the Khagai tribe but for the past few weeks, the Khagai tribe is stabilizing the tribe, accepting small tribes and even Sirong and Songnu people that is near the border into his tribe

The Khagai tribe is recuperating just like the Brolgadhr and surely they would not attack Bolghar tribe.

The Bolghar tribe is worried that the Khagai tribe after the battle with the Yan dynasty would become the dominant tribe in the western border of the Southern Great Steppe and outshine them in the next meeting.

So, Bolghar attack Burka tribe at night and the conflict began with the Bolghar tribe and the Burka tribe.

And that night as a tribe is being burned and its people enslaved, Khagai chief, Valgrun was awoken by an urgent message

Bolghar has attacked Burka, taking down a few dozen small tribes and will reach the main settlement of the Burka tribe by dawn.

Bolghar chief choose the most direct way and instead of dallying around, a lightning raid toward his enemies was decided.

The moment Valgrun hear this, he quickly got up from his bed, and wears his armor and called upon his warriors

Because he understood what Bolghar tribe wanted to do.

"Bolgharu must not be allowed to take Burka"

Valgrun could not help but curse Bolgharu under his breath.

This one has always been sly and decisive.

Valgrun has always known that.

However, in the past altercation between him and Bolgharu, Bolgharu is always quite cautious and because of that Valgrun let down his guard.

He thought that Bolgharu would attack in a conventional way, and would not risk too many things.

Hence, Valgrun was prepared for a long fight against the Bolghar tribe

He thought that when Bolghar send his warriors to attack Burka tribe, he would attack some of the affiliated tribes on the edges of the territories of the Bolghar and takes one by one, and then when he took some tribes and find the most optimum route, he would attacks the settlement which would have the strongest defense.

One battle would not be enough to disperse the might of Bolghar tribe.

Even if he takes the main settlement as long as the area around it still swore fealty to Bolghar tribe, they would shelter Bolghar tribe warriors.

Valgrun had predicted all of this and prepare himself for a long and protracted fight with the Bolghar tribe.

He is also ready to let go some tribes and make some concession to make the tribe that swore fealty to Bolghar tribe to defect.

That is the strategy that he come up with to fight against the Bolghar. But how could the Bolghar tribe suddenly flips the script like this?

If you play like this, then how could Valgrun follow the same script He needs to tore up the old script and use a new one

"Decisive" That is the key word he had missed. His past with Bolgharu makes him mistake Bolgharu cautiousness for timidity.

Thinking about it, the only reason why Bolghar method is cautious when dealing with the tribe around them has reason

It is because they never had to do more than necessary.
