Way of Overlord
Chapter 82: Korun Tribe

Chapter 82: Korun Tribe

Time seemed to pass swiftly, and three weeks had already elapsed since the Brolgadhr tribe embarked on their conquest of the neighbouring territories.

News of their victories had not yet reached the larger tribes that inhabited the vast expanse of the Great Steppe.

However, for those in closer proximity to the Brolgadhr tribe, an undercurrent of fear and unease pervaded the air.

The Great Steppe was a vast and sprawling land, and the rapid expansion of a small tribe like Brolgadhr might seem insignificant to the distant tribes.

The name of Aeryon, the young chief of Brolgadhr, remained unfamiliar to many.

But those who had encountered him, as well as astute observers, recognized the unmistakable spark of ambition that burned within him.

Despite being categorized as a small tribe, Brolgadhr boasted a few thousand warriors.

Within the context of the southernmost part of the Great Steppe, surrounded by tribes comprising mere hundreds or dozens of individuals, Brolgadhr size was relatively substantial.

It was in this domain of smaller tribes that Brolgadhr began to assert itself as a regional power.

However, it was clear that Aeryon ambitions extended far beyond the current status of his tribe.

Those who closely observed him could discern the relentless drive and unwavering determination.

The expansion of Brolgadhr influence seemed to be an inexorable path, and Aeryon showed no signs of contentment or complacency.

Day by day, the Brolgadhr tribe swelled in size.

Fierce recruitment efforts drew wandering warriors seeking purpose and security.

These warriors were warmly welcomed into the tribe, provided with tents, sustenance, and camaraderie. In a matter of weeks, the numbers of Brolgadhr warriors, their horse riders in particular, had doubled.

The transformation of Brolgadhr was remarkable to behold.

The once modest tribe now radiated strength and vitality.

The sight of their expanding forces, brimming with newfound recruits, instilled a mix of admiration, curiosity, and apprehension among those who crossed paths with them.

The whispers of Brolgadhr rapid growth and Aeryon unyielding ambition spread among the tribes, fueling curiosity and concern.

While the larger tribes remained oblivious for now, the tides of change were stirring in the southern reaches of the Great Steppe.

Brolgadhr tribe is on the precipice of becoming a force to be reckoned with, poised to reshape the power dynamics of the region.

As Brolgadhr tribe influence expanded, their territorial control now extended to include the bordering lands of the Korun tribe.

Situated to the south of Brolgadhr and with the Utgard tribe to the north, the Korun tribe found themselves at the crossroads of these emerging power dynamics.

Scouts from the Korun tribe observed Brolgadhr’ horse riders patrolling the areas that were once under the control of the Xewa tribe.

The sight of these riders served as a tangible reminder of the shifting borders and the encroachment of Brolgadhr influence.

The Chief of the Korun tribe is Kyazan son of Kurtai.

The tribe itself had been established only a decade ago, and in that short span of time, they had found a place to call home in this ever-changing landscape.

The people of Korun had a nomadic inclination, often venturing out into the surrounding territories, but always returning to their base.

Their wanderlust took them on journeys across the Great Steppe.

At times, they would ride towards the Utgard tribe, passing through Kazan, traversing Altai, and reaching as far as Timur.

Other times, they would venture towards Rudya, passing through Wustkazan, and continuing their expedition to Aksak, eventually arriving at the Western Steppe.

This restless spirit of exploration and travel was deeply ingrained in the fabric of the Korun tribe.

However, with the arrival of Brolgadhr expanding influence, the Korun tribe found themselves in a precarious position.

Their familiar borders were being reshaped, and the tribes around them had to adapt to these changing circumstances.

Years ago, the Xewa tribe embarked on a campaign of expansion, fueled by the acquisition of weapons from Yan.

With each passing year, their prosperity and power grew, allowing them to extend their influence and claim the territories of neighbouring tribes.

The issue of grazing areas became a source of contention between the Xewa tribe and their neighbouring tribes, leading to conflicts and battles.

In the face of the Xewa tribe’s aggression, the weak and small neighbouring tribes had little choice but to submit.

The Xewa tribe, led by their chief Xeqani, emerged as a formidable force and swiftly defeated their opponents. Their victories were ruthless, leaving no survivors, and their territorial control continued to expand.

The Korun tribe, recognizing the dire consequences of resisting the Xewa tribe, wisely chose to surrender.

While they possessed bravery and a spirit of resistance, they understood the futility of engaging in battle against an overwhelmingly powerful enemy.

Chief Kyazan of the Korun tribe took a pragmatic approach and sought to preserve the lives of his people.

He met with the Xeqani chief and swore his allegiance, acknowledging the dominance of the Xewa tribe.

As the Xewa tribe and the Ghar tribe both continued their expansions, it became evident that a clash between the two would determine the ultimate overlord in the region.

The Xewa tribe had become a force to be reckoned with, while the Ghar tribe also sought to assert its power and influence.

Observers and those paying attention to the unfolding events anticipated that the outcome of the battle between these two tribes would determine the supreme ruler of the area.

However, all of the calculations and thought could not keep up with the changing circumstances.

The sudden rise of Aeryon and the Brolgadhr tribe took Kyazan and the Korun tribe by surprise.

Despite Kyazan calculations and strategic thinking, he could not have anticipated the speed and extent of Aeryon conquests.

No, he never expected Aeryon to return. He knows of the Brolgadhr tribe and he heard the stories that they were forced out of the Great Steppe.

But other than, he did not know much about that tribe.

He never even expected that the young son of Rakarys would lead back his people back to the Great Steppe and fight against Xewa tribe and Ghar tribe.

If that is the only he did, that would be shocking enough

But he did not only fight, but he also wins the fight

Aeryon swift and decisive victories over the Xewa and Ghar tribes, followed by the persuasion of four other tribes to surrender, completely shifted the balance of power in the region.

The news of Aeryon triumphs spread like wildfire across this area, reaching to his tribe

The once-dominant Xewa tribe and their chief, along with the Ghar tribe, had been vanquished by this young upstart.

Aeryon charisma, military prowess, and ability to rally support were unmatched, propelling him and the Brolgadhr tribe to possess of influence and control around here.

For Kyazan and the Korun tribe, witnessing this rapid ascent created a sense of unease and uncertainty.

The tribesmen began to question their own standing and future amidst the changing landscape of power dynamics.

Kyazan, known for his calm demeanour and calculated approach, found himself facing a challenge that required adaptability and quick thinking.

As Kyazan contemplated the new reality, he recognized that Aeryon rise posed both a threat and an opportunity.

The expansion of the Brolgadhr tribe meant that they now bordered the Korun tribe, increasing the potential for conflicts and territorial disputes.

However, there was also the possibility of forging alliances and securing a favourable position under Aeryon growing influence.

Kyazan understood that he needed to navigate these shifting circumstances with caution and prudence.

The fate of the Korun tribe hung in the balance, and Kyazan leadership and strategic acumen would be put to the test like never before.

He knew that to survive and protect his people, he would need to carefully assess the intentions and capabilities of the Brolgadhr tribe, while seeking opportunities to safeguard the interests of the Korun tribe within the new order established by Aeryon rapid conquests.

Kyazan is in his tent.

Kyazan tent, though small compared to the grandeur of Aeryon, reflects the modest yet efficient lifestyle of the Korun tribe.

It is made of sturdy, weather-resistant materials, with the framework constructed from wooden poles and covered by a durable animal hide.

Within the tent, various items could be seen.

A small altar sits in a corner, adorned with sacred symbols and offerings, representing the spiritual beliefs and rituals followed by the Korun people.

But it is still the largest among his people

As days passes, he become more and more restless. Kyazan is an old man.

Kyazan himself bears the marks of his age and wisdom.

His hair, once dark and flowing, is now tinged with streaks of grey and white, speaking of the passing years and the challenges he has faced.

His physique, while not as robust as it once was, carries a quiet strength and resilience that comes from a lifetime of battles and hardships.

Lines etch his face, telling stories of countless sunrises and sunsets observed from the vast expanses of the Steppe.

Despite his aging appearance, Kyazan eyes retain a sharpness and intelligence that command respect.

He have witnessed the rise and fall of tribes, the ebb and flow of power, and the shifting alliances of the Steppe.

His voice, though tempered by the weight of experience, carries authority and a calm resolve that has guided the Korun tribe through turbulent times.

Kyazan presence exudes a sense of stability and wisdom.
