Chapter 356: Strong Oppressing the Weak

That battle lasted until evening and by the evening, most people of the Bolghar tribe had surrendered while those who did not is killed.

There is not much resistance when their morale is already shattered.

With Yurmuk death, even his deputies could not reorganize the scattering soldiers and warriors.

The battle in the northern front for the Khagai tribe is a victory for the Khagai.

Ota fight in the northern front and the northern front is advancing forward. This news of victory must be sent to the main camp and also must be spread out toward the Bolghar tribe.

Ota quickly send some spies to Bolghar tribe and a messenger to Valgrun and after letting his men taking supplies from the fallen enemy and rested for a while, Ota is ready to move forward again

The sun is setting and Ota standing on horseback, looking at the vast land in front of him, the green grass swaying and he smiles

"It would not be long before the west will be ours. My lord will finally fulfilled his ambition. And then....." he paused for a second before he laugh

"Then we could fight against the world!" he mutters to himself.

He looks back at his soldiers and he laughs.

"Next stop, let’s take Bolgharu head!" he shouted

"ROAR!" the roars of his men shakes the sky and tremble the earth.

Kicking the side of his horse, Ota rides his horse froward toward the Bolghar main settlements.

...

Great victory!

Ota defeated Yurmuk and with the defeat of Yurmuk, the forces that could stop Ota in that front is no more.

Advancing forward without stop, the west could be decided!

The news of this victory was sent to Valgrun and was also sent to the main settlement of the Bolghar.

The defeat of Yurmuk shocks everyone.

The news itself created chaos and before Bolgharu could supress the news, the news has already spread all over the tribe.

The news reached the western front advancing force and the Khagai forces there all rejoice with the news of this victory.

Valgrun shakes his head with a smile and he said in joy to his men

"Ota is my right-hand man and he had never disappointed me. A great warrior and a great commander" Valgrun had read the report sent by Ota and he could tell Ota advantage lies in the fact that he knows to take his opportunities.

He fights like a warrior but he has Valgrun teachings and knows when to retreat, when to attack, when to advance when to run away.

He could afford to lose.

With the victory that Ota had, Valgrun the next morning of that battle rally his forces and attack without hesitation

Breaking the army that held him back, they keep moving forward

At the same time under the strategy of a certain strategist, Durka leads his men broke through seven tribes

All of these tribes follows Durka and Durka who came with only a few hundred men now leads around five thousand men and then quickly merges with Valgrun forces

As for Zlata tribe, Zanbata the chief of Zlata tribe leads his men to conquer ten tribes

The more victory that Durka wins and the more powerful Valgrun forces sweep through an area.

The easier it is for Zanbata to persuade these chief to surrender to him

From the report of Durka and Zanabata breaking through tribes and conquering tribes it almost seems like they fought furiously and break this tribe with force

But in reality, most of them surrendered.

This method of taking surrendered people is new.

At least for the people of the Steppe. There is hundreds of years of fighting and tribalism among the tribes of the Great Steppe.

When fighting an enemy, most of the winner would execute rival soldiers. Other than Valgrun, the only person that did not kill enemy and instead absorbed them into his army is the Kan.

It is why Duhai tribe and Zlata tribe now serve under the Kan. They believe that when the Kan spares the people it is not a sign of weakness or possessing womanly kindness but a person who could compete for the world

For someone that wanted to compete for the world, they need to learn to embrace certain things.

The tribes that lives inside the region of the Bolghar would not have easily be conquered if Zanbata had killed every person in every tribes tat he passes.

He could do that and inspire fear but the more profitable thing to do is to absorb them into his army and increase his number, take the elite warriors in this tribe and let them make achievement.

Even though Zanbata and Durka is still the chief of their tribe, most of them follow the Kan method of redistributing the wealth that they taken from the enemy to their soldiers.

Zanbata and Durka did not understand why Aeryon, the Kan did not hoard the gold and silvers and goods that he had gained but instead he always generously gave it to his soldiers and commanders

These soldiers and commander is otherwise prohibited from looting without permission.

Aeryon simply said, that this is the easiest way to inject back all of these resources back into the economy.

Durka and Zanbata did not understand this that much but he simply said, do it and you would see your tribe would become stronger, your army would become even more united and you would have the hearts of your people and the loyalty of your warriors.

Durka and Zanbata tries it and it happens exactly how the Kan had said. They just didn’t understand how it happens.

But as long as it works, it is good enough for them.

And Zanbata who only came with three hundred horsemen now has six thousand horsemen following him.

Not only from the tribe that he defeated but also some clans of warriors that sees that the forces of Valgrun might have the chance to defeat the Bolghar tribe and they also want a share of the glory.

Valgrun just like Zanbata and Durka leads his men and break through fifteen small tribes, incorporated many warrior clans that wanted to join him

and when he has so many horsemen that he did not know what to do with it, he separated his forces and send forces of three thousand men in every direction

Most of these split force did not even need to fight as their numbers alone is enough to intimidate the small tribes.

When they meet a slightly stronger tribe, they would duel or fight but the casualty of Valgrun forces is minimal and in just a few days, almost all of the western region of Bolghar has now fallen into the area of control of the Khagai tribe.

In just a few days, because of the news of Ota advancing further into the heart of the Bolghar territory, it was like the steppe warriors of the Khagai is drinking Divine Ayrag

They were breaking through the allied tribes of the Bolghar like unstoppable war gods.

The more it is like this, the easier it is for the small tribes to surrender.

One of the characteristic of the small tribes is that they lean on the powerful

It is the characteristic of the Steppe tribes. The Yan scoff at this. But they are the same

In a harsh world, should you rely on the weak or the strong? The best answer is of course, rely on yourself.

But you should measure your own ability before relying on yourself. If you did not know your enemy and you do not know yourself, how could you win and how could you survive?

In such cases, even if you lose, you would not know how you lose.

Hence, rely on the strong, become strong and then rely on yourself when you become strong.

The common people of the world always ask the heavens, why is the powerful people in high position oppress the weak people?

Then what should they do?

They could not oppress people stronger than them so they oppress people that are weaker than them.

Kind people are numerous in the world but in history there is only a few rulers that are truly kind to the people.

And instead, in history books and the words of future generations, these kind rulers are vilified and mocked.

They are too nice.

They are too kind. If they could be a little bit more ruthless....and so on and so forth.

yet, if these people lived in that era, they would rather choose to live under a kind ruler than an evil ruler.

Yet, the future generations like to say all of these things, appearing like some kind of intellectuals.

In history itself there is many example of this.

Cao Cao slaughtered cities but people praised him to have the appearance of a king. Liu Bei saved people but is accused to be hypocrite.

This is only one region of the world. There is many such cases all over the world. As of right now, Khagai and Ota attack make the whole west believe that they are the strong.

And the weak have their own way of surviving.
