Chapter 464: Battle between Father and Son

The old people, the one that founded the Utgard tribe in the Southern Great Steppe still have this obsession.

But those who came later and those who were born in the Southern Great Steppe probably does not share the same obsession.

This is a weakness and this is something that only Ogura noticed.

And Ogura began contacting the new officials and the other faction in the tribe.

Not everyone is excited to follow Garron to the central steppe to once again established back the tribe.

Not to mention, Garron is already old now.

Even if he succeed in establishing the tribe in the Central Steppe, how many years would that take

Now, they have a good situation going on in the Southern Great Steppe.

They have alliance with Brolgadhr, the daughter of Garron is married to the Kan, and their position is getting stronger with the conquest of Rudya. If they stayed the course, they could take Dayan next year.

And the two factions are the factions that is loyal to Garron and old officials who still have the desire to return to the Central Steppe

And one other one is new officials and new generals that wanted Ogura to take the seat and lead their tribe to even greater heights and glory in the Southern Great Steppe.

And then something happened that causes this faction to broke out in a real conflict

It is known inside the tribe that Garron very much loved Sayushi

Then in one meeting, Garron show some intention and even drafted a plan to name Sayushi to be his heir.

This would be the straw that broke the camel’s back

When Ogura heard this from Waqu son and he of course could not let this to pass. One must wonder what kind of feeling he experienced when he found out this news

For all of his life, he was raised with the belief that he would one day inherit this tribe. And right at the finish line, suddenly he were told that all of that training, all of that hardship is all for nothing

No one could withstand such thing.

Certainly not Ogura.

What he felt was probably not disappointment. But anger.

And that anger had already been there.

The news just bring that anger to the surface and emboldened Ogura to do what he thought must be done.

This is when the first tragedy occurred.

Ogura ambushed his younger brother when he was hunting and kills him. This is the first brother that he had killed

Sayushi died under the strike of ten arrows, the body is not yet cold and his father when hearing this only snorted.

The plan was to kill all of his brothers and make himself the only heir.

Killing Sayushi was supposed to deter his father.

The resentment and rivalry between the two brother has bene intensified intentionally by their father.

And when Sayushi died, Ogura did not feel sad at all.

Because when one reach this level, the battle for the seat of the chief is about life and death

It should not have been like this.

But Garron action pushed his son to reach this point.

Who knows what Garron was thinking?

Maybe he wanted Sayushi to be the grinding stone for Ogura.

Maybe he wanted Ogura to be the grinding stone of Sayushi.

No one knows as no one really could guess the thought of the Viper.

But one thing is clear.

Garron grinds them until they break.

And when one reaches this point, the conflict between brothers could no longer be mediated peacefully.

Only life and death and the battle for the seat of the chief is a battle for survival

Ogura after killing his brother did not cry nor did he show any grief but for a day, he closes his tent and no one dares approach

Ogura is on the northern side of the main settlement of the chief.

When the news reached Garron, Garron only listen to the report and close his eyes and shake his head

His words are only these

"What a disappointing son" One wonders which one he is referring to.

Who disappointed him? Was it Ogura for killing Sayushi? Or was it Sayushi for being killed by Ogura

Even at this moment, the retainers of the Utgard tribe could not guess the thought of the Viper.

Was he sad?

Was he angry?

His expression certainly did not show any of his expression

If he is feeling any of this emotion, he is certainly very adept at hiding it.

Killing Sayushi was probably Ogura warning to his father.

He is no longer a child that would only accept whatever Garron decided for him

It is also a reminder to the tribe.

That Ogura has his support.

Without support, how could he kill Sayushi and there is no chaos.

However, killing Sayushi alone is not effective.

Because Sayushi himself is not all of Garron children

There is still Barbager.

And Barbager is in Dayan and he would not be so easy to kill like Sayushi.

And then there is another son that has been conveniently forgotten in this clash between father and son.

That son is Yonwa. But Yonwa is quite innocent, almost like a child and this child could not threaten Ogura at all

The only threat to Ogura is Sayushi.

And that Sayushi is dead. Ogura waited for his father. He waited for his father to end this matter

As long as Garron named him as his heir, this matter would end here. Probably at that time, Ogura also wanted this matter to end

However, Garron after being in his tent for three days, come out and announce that he wanted to think more of his successor

When this news reached Garron, Garron knew.

This matter did not end. And his father really has the intention to change him

And if someone else becoming the chief, he would not have any way out

And so, he made an extreme decision that would push this conflict to its peak.

This enraged Ogura even more so he once again goes to the settlement , capture Yonwa and kills him.

When Ogura did this, he shouted

"You forced me"

Yonwa is the youngest and he died in such an unfair manner. Even before he dies, he still look at his brother with innocent eyes.

Even until Ogura cut Yonwa head, there is still a smile on his face. Garron move.....was it a test was that a final insult, the only one that knows this is Garron himself.

And at this point, when the head of his own brother rolled down near his feet, he doesn’t really care anymore

He had been waiting and have bene patient and his patience had ended.

That night, not only Ogura, Garron also knows there is no turning back. Garron called upon all of his loyal warriors and the other retainers that wanted to follow him and wanted to strike his father.

His father has grown weaker and this is the best opportunity.

If not for the fact that this matter is so twisted, one must admire his ingenuity, decisive and dare do what others do not

Different era have different interpretation about heroes.

But to the eyes of many warriors of the Steppe, regardless of the right and wrong of this matter, Ogura has heroic temperament that surpass his father

That night, the night he killed his brother he made a promise to his loyal retainers and his warriors, he would march to the main settlement and take Utgard leadership

Ogura declare his intention to rebel!

Father and son prepared to go to war!

....

The battle started near the river of the main settlement.

The river itself is not that deep or long

More like a small stream, the height only reached one waist, the width is only a few hugs.

This is where the Battle of Utgol River will be fought and will be remembered

It took three days for Ogura forces to come to the area of the main settlement.

By this time Garron had also heard the reports and prepare to meet his son in battle

For three days before the battle, he consult the Ashana.

No one knows that the Ashana said to him, but when he came out of the Ashana tent, some people said that Garron laughed so hard until he cry

The morning sun rose over the hilly areas of Utgard.

There is around three tall hills near the main settlements of the Utgard tribe. There is archers and warriors on top of these three hills.

The sun cast long shadows across the plains, a heavy mist clung to the earth, and thousands of warriors on both side took their positions

The banners of the Utgard tribe...once again fluttered on different sides.

It is like a continuation of the collapse of the Utgard tribe in the Central Great Steppe

One of the banner is carried by the father side, another is carried by the son side.

Then the silence break

The sound of a horn shrill cry pierced the air.

BOOOM!

BOOOM!

BOOOOM!

Thunderous roars of war drums followed

Garron look at the distance and he could see the banner of Utgard tribe flies on the opposite side.

"Go forward!" Garron ordered.
