Chapter 370: The Clash

Means nothing to him? This made Aeryon very curious.

And when Aeryon asked Burchu to explain about this, he said that if he waits to long and Ota become older and older, he would find it unfair both for him and for Ota.

If it is a battle between army, he would not care so much about what is fair and what is not because war has always been unfair.

But in duel, he at least wanted to be fair.

Ota himself is quite young right now.

But give him a decade and then he would ten years older.

At that time, Ota might be more famous because of his commanding skill but surely his combat skill would have worsened.

Unless he comprehended some kind of Kusa older is always weaker.

If at that time Burchu defeated him, people would only say that Burchu could only defeat Ota because Ota is old.

If Ota has mastered some kind of Kusa or Mana at that time, maybe such voices would not appear just like when Aeryon defeated Durka.

Durka possess some kind of martial art methods and because of this even when he is old, he is quite strong. But even then he is also limited by his age and could not be as strong as he was in the past.

Aeryon appreciated this part of Burchu.

An honourable man and someone that could be trusted.

And then there is Belarion.

These three people alone could control tens of thousands of men.

But Aeryon did not yet have tens of thousands of soldiers.

But he does have around twenty thousand men.

Burchu is still too young and Mukhulai did not have enough prestige.

So, there is only one person that could command ten thousand soldiers and that would be Belarion.

Noyan Belarion.

That is the title Aeryon gives him

He control a Tumen, ten thousand horsemen.

Even though Aeryon could gather around thirty hound men and that also includes his subordinate tribes, not all thirty thousand men are trained.

Aeryon is silent and he seems to be thinking of something.

Nobody in the tent said anything.

Most of them are tense.

the only one that is quite casual is Belarion. Aeryon look at his men and nodded

He is quite satisfied looking at the line-up of the warriors in the tent. He did not have many counsellors on the official side, but he has as many generals as clouds.

Even though most of them did not yet fight any battle, most of them have been leading the squad to fight against bandits and pacify any rebellion and any tribes that did not want to submit.

Aeryon believe that these warriors of his are all capable. All they need is the right stage.

"Khagai is winning the battle . And everyone in this tent knows what that means"

His warriors all nodded.

All the people that Aeryon gathered in his tent all knows the specific.

They did not know it before but a few days before, Aeryon had summoned them to his tent and tell them all about it

Most of them was also shocked that the Brolgadhr tribe is even looking toward the west. But after the initial shock, most of them are quite happy about it.

If Aeryon just stay on one place after conquering the tribes and did not expand, then there is no place for them to show their talents and there is no place for them to be stationed.

So, when they heard that the Khagai tribe is already one of their own and Khagai victory would also means that the Brolgadhr influence reaches to the west, they could not help but be happy. If not for the fact that they could intervene directly most of the warrior would already asked to be sent to the west.

They wonder what the Kan would be talking about this time

"The west would be decided if the Khagai tribe wins this last battle on Bulghar hill" he paused for a second and look at his people with a smile

Then he suddenly said

"I wanted to expand. Because of that I want to move north. I wanted to march toward the north and quicken our pace" Aeryon is not asking people for advice.

He is informing them

Expanding has always been one of the plans that Aeryon had.

The warriors that is under Aeryon all could see that their leader is not someone that is satisfied with the status quo. Some people thought he would stop after defeating the enemy.

But he did not stop. Some people thought he would stop when he took down many small tribes to reach the west.

But even then, he did not stop

By then everyone basically already see his intent. He wanted to emulate past unifier of the Southern Great Steppe and become the Qayan of the South

This declaration of wanting to expand did not shock anyone in the tent

What shocked them was the location of this expansion

What is in North? Who would be the target

Everyone knows it.

Go further north is Vihur tribe.

Go less north then there is the offshoots of Kazan.

Even the Cha Ner Ul Alliance could be considered north in some parts of Aeryon new border

Which part of the North that the Kan wanted to expand

If this was any other time, all of the warriors would quickly shows their enthusiasm to send their men north to fulfil the ambition of the Kan.

Everyone would be eager to show their talents.

But this time it is quite different

Because this thing had something to do with Mayeux

Mayeux become pale in the face and he looks at his Kan and he could not understand what the Kan is doing right now.

For a moment, Mayeux seems to be thinking of something while Aeryon other Minghan and the other warriors in the tent seems to be thinking about the north

Then they began conversing with each other. They seem to be debating but each one of them trying to gauge the Kan reaction.

Aeryon on the other hand just listen to the words of his warriors seemingly not wanting to interfere. But no one dares to talk to the Kan right now and speak about move to the north

It is not that they are afraid to fight toward the north.

After all, most of the warriors in the war tent right now are all new recruited warriors.

Some of them just joined recently. And they all wanted to make some achievement

But...is it not too rash? Right now, the west might be decided in the battle between Bolghar and Valgrun.

However, this is war. Like the wind that blows, sometimes it fizzles away, sometimes it turns into a storm

Who could guarantee that the wind that is fanning the flames of life of the Bolghar tribe would not instead turn into a storm of fire that would swallow the entire Khagai tribe?

If at that time, such thing happens, then Aeryon could send help.

But if the army is sent north and is tangled with the north, then.....all the planning in the west would be abandoned.

Even though all of these warriors are new, they also knows what they should know. They know that the plan toward the west is Mayeux plan.

He repeatedly said to the other warriors to make sure to protect the border from external attack and do not provoke nearby tribe

Because all attention of the tribe should be toward the west. Mayeux even summons all of them to hammer this point toward their head.

And everyone knows Mayeux plans is approved by the Kan. Why would the Kan now change his tune right now?

So, these new warriors, the new leaders did not want to be the first bird that show its head. Mayeux is Aeryon most trusted military advisor.

Offending such a person is a ticket to be exiled.

So, all of these warriors seems to be debating fiercely but no one offers any suggestion or touch any issue of importance.

Belarion the only Noyan in the tent however did not argue and did not say anything.

The other warriors and the veterans understand Belarion position even without him talking.

The loyalty of Belarion toward the Kan is unquestionable.

Whatever the Kan decides, he would do. So, he did not need to participate in arguing.

Mayeux look at the arguing between the military commander but also knows none of them dares to talk to the Kan or said anything to the Kan

He sighed in his heart.

He knows this is not because these warriors did not have a loyal heart but because they are too new and they did not have any contributions.

None of them dare speak much when they did not have any contribution. You did not make any contribution and then you try to rebuke the Kan?

Do you have so many heads to spare?

Mayeux then move to the center line of the tent and then bows his head, his right hand on his left chest

"There is no need for such formality between us" Aeryon gives this privilege only to select few. The only two people in the entire tribe that is given this kind of honour is only Mayeux and Belarion.

Mayeux however did not rise. Aeryon eyes narrowed.

"what is the matter, Military Advisor?"

"Kan. Please retract that order"
