Chapter 396: Chagai Tribe Dilemma

Chapter 396: Chagai Tribe Dilemma

Chadha is in his tent right now and he is sitting cross legged in front of a small table.

He is closing his eyes as he seem to be thinking of something.

Then he sighed.

"I never thought Aeryon would do such a thing" Chadha is dressed in war armour. Even this armour is bought from Brolgadhr city.

The fight against Haltur tribe has now reached the decisive moment. Chadha only enters the battle in the earlier ones

But most of it is led by his sons.

He wanted to train his sons.

Conflict between the tribes would be more intense from now on.

The small tribes would be annexed by the larger and powerful tribes and when the boards is cleared off all of these small tribes, the only ones that would be left will be the powerful tribes.

Then these powerful tribes would fight against each other to determine the ruler of the Southern Great Steppe.

Chadha do not know if he would see the conclusion of this battle but if he could not see it, at least he wanted his descendant to survive the coming conflict.

So, he sent Chayun. He is the one of his sons but he is capable. And the other would listen to him.

He made them understand that only by standing together that the tribe would not be fragmented.

Right now, the Cha Ner Ul Alliance is strong but this kind of alliance could easily be broken if the interest is not clearly defined

Chagai tribe has also become stronger and Haltur tribe is the first step toward locking the west.

Chadha only wanted to rule one side and Aeryon wanted to rule the world.

These difference in ambitions leads to different method of fighting and different objectives.

Chadha has also thought about a lot of things.

But he never expected that Aeryon would send his men to Wustkazan tribe and no one stops him.

The only reason why he never pay much attention to the Wustkazan security, is because he thought no none would attack it.

And Chadha is not accustomed to thought of vast expansive strategy like this that spans many tribes.

Most tribe would only care about the tribes around them and not tribe that is far away from them

It wasn’t until recently that most chief had learned to try to understand their neighbours and their neighbours neighbours.

Because Aeryon way of fighting seems to be a grand strategy kind of fighting

When he fights, he looks not only the immediate gains but there is usually a large objective

So, even Chadha had to send spies and scouts to other tribe that is far away.

If this was in the past he probably would get the news of the fall of Wustkazan tribe three or four days after the fact.

But now after only a day, he got it.

At first Chadha nearly did not believe this news.

Because why would Utgard tribe not make any move when they heard Aeryon is riding toward the north with five thousand men?

That is not a group of people assembled to take a stroll. That is an armed force ready to fight

Yes, he knows Utgard tribe is allied to the Brolgadhr but Utgard tribe also ally with Kazan

Don’t they know that if the Brolgadhr tribe take Wustkazan they would be blamed by the Kazan and opens up many more avenues where the Brolgadhr could attack them from?

Garron surely must have known

It wasn’t only until half a day later he learns that there is already rift between Kazan and Utgard tribe and then he also learns that the Kazan tribe is fighting with Estkazan and that Kazan is allied temporarily with Esbizuk tribe.

Chadha could only describe it like this "It’s a mess"

All of these tribes make a mess out of the status quo and in doing so, Aeryon simply takes the tribe without any strong resistance.

Without any aid, and with the chief killed in battle, the Wustkazan simply had to disband

How could Chadha knows so much has happened in the east.

This is what Chadha means that the modes of battle and strategy between ethe chief had changed since Aeryon begins his conquest.

Because Aeryon action is determined not only by one factor but multiple factors.

He did not attack, plunder and then leave allowing the old tribes to come back or a new tribe to stake their claim

Instead, Aeryon take the place of those tribes, recruit the losers and then claim the land and the area under his protection and under his power.

A few tribes is allowed to survive in their clan area but when the Kan called them they must offer their horses and warriors.

Like an official that had to follow the words of the Emperor.

It was only after understanding all of these factors he understand why Aeryon dares to send only five thousand men to attack Wustkazan and won.

The reasons why it is a crazy thing to send five thousand men is because even though Wustkazan ten thousand men could not defeat five thousand men, Aeryon must bet that only ten thousand men would field the battlefield.

In that calculation of Aeryon, if Utgard send five thousand men, or if he was delayed and did not wipe out Yanlan forces fast enough and he, Chadha got wind of this and send five thousand men, then Aeryon, and Belarion no matter how strong they are, they would eb repelled.

After all, five thousand men with armour and sharp weans might be able to kill ten thousand Steppe horsemen. But could five thousand of these Steppe horseman defeat twenty thousand Steppe horseman.

If any of the forces around Wustkazan send aid, then Aeryon could be repelled. And that would give time for Yanlan to call all of the forces in the defensive position to return and they could reinforce themselves. Yanlan is not a good attacker. But he must have some defensive abilities. If not Wustkazan could not have last this long

Chadha sighed as he thought of Aeryon tactics.

"It is still the same tactics. But even if I knew about it, I knew it too late" Chadha mutters to himself.

Swift and flawless.

Aeryon objective is to quickly end the battel and turns the ten thousand men weak.

To do that, there is only one head that he had to take. And that is the head of the Chief.

As long as he able to do that, victory is in his hand

But is it easy to take someone head amidst ten thousand enemy?

Only Belarion and Aeryon could do this. This kind of feat would surely be admired by many warriors of the Steppe.

He sighed

"By now, Nergui tribe must be wary. It would not be weird at all, if Nergui tribe wanted to withdraw his men to reinforce their tribe. Aeryon would not attack Nergui tribe because even if he won he would only be surrounded by enemies on all side"

Unless he is confident he could break through the encirclement, he would not do such a thing.

And he did not even need to take such a risk

Not to mention, even Aeryon need to take a rest.

Others might not know but Chadna knows Yanlan very well.

Or to be more accurate, he knows the kind of warriors under Yanlan.

These are all capable warriors.

There is so many reason why Aeryon would not attack them

Even if Aeryon wanted to create a surprise attack, he would not choose this method. Because there is no need to choose this method at all.

But just because he could see, doesn’t mean that the Nergui tribe chief could see.

In all probability, he must be so anxious right now after hearing the news.

The soldiers might not have complete information about things that is happening in their rear but how could the chief not know

Nergui tribe chief leader would surely send an envoy to him to discuss this matter.

" I need to change my plan" Chadha is also a flexible person.

He was not so flexible in the past.

But after living such a long life compared to the other youngsters that is fighting the war and showing their talents, he also has learned how to bend and bow and learns not to takes himself so seriously and do not take responsibilities that is not your own unless you are confident and wanted to do it.

Chadha from the moment he reads that Aeryon had taken over Wustkazan area had already recognize the hidden danger of this. If Nergui tribe withdraw their soldiers, Ultar tribe would also wanted to send their soldiers back to the tribe

"in the end, it is interest between the three tribes that needs to be balanced"

Right now, they are in the honeymoon period.

Ultar could expand ever upwards and even the east Nergui has also open up more avenue to attack and Chadha also become powerful all of a sudden

These are thanks to the alliance.

But how did this alliance come about?

Chadha was the one that organize this alliance.

But he remember what most people had already forgotten.

That Ultar and Nergui tribe are feuding with each other just before this alliance was formed.
