Chapter 93: This World and That World II

As Aeryon rides around his settlements, his gaze falls upon the tents and the people who inhabit them.

The original tribe members of the Brolgadhr greet him with respect, and there is an affection in their greetings

Most of them is Aeryon relatives, uncles and aunts, families on either his mother side or his father side.

On the other hand, those who were subjugated by him lower their gazes, a clear sign of submission and deference to his rule.

Mostly these are the people of the Xewa and Ghar tribe.

They however did not have that much resentment.

While Aeryon did kill their chiefs, since then Aeryon did not persecute the clans of those that are not related to the chief of the Xewa and Ghar tribe.

Aeryon is very impartial and shares a lot of meat with the people of his tribe, subjugated or not.

This alone wins him a few points even among those who he conquered. In this world, meat is a very luxurious thing.

Aeryon look around and there is a smile on his face

"It is moving on track" he mutters to himself

The sight of the bustling camp, filled with hundreds of tents and people, fills Aeryon with a sense of both pride and urgency.

"This is large enough"

He knows that the size of his tribe is substantial, providing him with a formidable force in the lower south of the Great Steppe.

"it is like I am in a race against time itself" He cannot rest on his laurels.

Time is of the essence, for he is well aware of an impending disaster that looms on the horizon—the arrival of the Princes of the Yan dynasty.

In a matter of years, they will descend upon the Southern Great Steppe

The Princes of Yan dynasty would come upwards and slaughter not only his tribe but most of the Southern Great Steppe, enslaving the tribe, destroying their culture and their history and re-educate them to bow to them as superior.

Aeryon heart burns with determination and a deep sense of responsibility. He refuses to allow his tribe, along with the other tribes of the Steppe, to suffer such a fate.

The thought of seeing it erased and replaced with submission to the Yan dynasty is unbearable to him.

"this must be the lingering feeling of the original Aeryon" he thought to himself. But Aeryon also agrees.

There is no one in this world that is bon to be a slave. And there is no race superior than others

Some races are good at fighting and some are good at different things. But a superior race that is higher in value....that is not something that is true

One that is born in heat filled area would withstand better in hot places. Those who were born in cold regions could withstand the cold better.

He understands that different races and cultures may possess unique strengths and skills, but it does not make one inherently superior to another.

Humans adapt to the situations that they found themselves into and equipped themselves with the kind of skill needed to survive in such an environment.

As for the people of the Great Steppe, they were used to the harsh reality of life.

The wind taught them, the cold snow taught them, the beast that roams taught them

The elements of the Steppe taught them that to survive you have to be strong.

Weak people could not even choose how they die.

The elements of the Steppe taught the people of the Steppe to survive.

The people of the Great Steppe have learned to survive in a harsh and unforgiving landscape.

They have honed their skills through their experiences with the elements, the wildlife, and the challenges they face.

Their strength and resilience are a result of their environment shaping them into capable warriors and survivors.

On the other hand, the people of Yan may excel in creating civilization and inventions, but their weakness lies in their approach to warfare.

The people of Yan create civilization, create inventions but they are weak in fighting, the wars they fight is weak and full of nonsense civility.

Their wars lack the strength and rawness that the Steppe people possess.

The Yan always thought themselves a superior. They thought of themselves as cultured and other people are barbarians.

They look down on other people and treat people lower than them as pets and animals. The believe that only they possess loyalty and other people are cunning.

They justify their lie and their schemes by saying that the people of their race is the only race that they could trust

And any other race could not be trusted.

What is ironic is the more they engage in this type of thinking, the more it alienates them from their foreign subject.

He sighed each time he thinks about the future.

"Should I wait more?" he hesitated. He made a decision that he would wait until Mayeux return.

Before that he also decide that the moment that the promotion quest is completed, he would attack the tribes on the west

But now, he felt that maybe he is taking it to slow. So, for few days now, he has been rethinking about his decision.

At the same time, he is also thinking about building the city. The expansion of the tribe is simply the extension of his plan to reinforce the south.

Aeryon big plan is very different that some people might think.

The only people that knows his true plan right now is Mayeux, Belarion and his uncle.

Mayeux is smart enough to understand the plan.

As for Belarion even if he could not understand it., Aeryon telling him the plan is simply as a sign of trust.

As for his uncle, they are the same family and his uncle would not blab it to the other elders. At the same time as he is running around the settlements, he is also taking measurement.

And the more he rides the more he think that he needs more labour force than he initially thought.

"Grander than anything in the Great Steppe" he mutters.

He look around the distance, seeing the swaying grass and he chuckles.

In his eyes, he almost could envision a thriving city.

As Aeryon gazes into the distance, his imagination takes flight, envisioning a thriving city that surpasses anything seen in the Great Steppe.

In his mind’s eye, he sees a bustling metropolis, reminiscent of the prosperous cities along the ancient Silk Road in Western regions

The city stands at the crossroads of trade routes, attracting merchants and travellers from far and wide.

Its grandeur is reflected in its magnificent architecture, with towering pagodas, ornate palaces, and sprawling marketplaces.

The streets are filled with a vibrant array of colours, as silk fabrics, spices, precious gemstones, and exotic goods from distant lands are displayed for sale.

The city’s prosperity is built upon a robust economy, with trade caravans arriving regularly, bringing a constant flow of goods and wealth.

The bustling marketplaces are abuzz with activity, with merchants haggling over prices and showcasing their finest wares.

The city’s strategic location ensures a steady stream of commerce, connecting distant cultures and fostering cultural exchange.

Skilled craftsmen and artisans flourish within the city, their workshops producing intricate textiles, exquisite pottery, and masterful works of art.

The air is filled with the sweet aroma of spices and the sounds of merchants enthusiastically promoting their products.

The city is a hub of innovation and creativity, attracting scholars, thinkers, and artists who contribute to its intellectual and cultural vibrancy.

Beyond trade and commerce, the city is also a center of knowledge and learning.

Great libraries and academies stand as symbols of wisdom and intellectual pursuit.

Scholars and philosophers engage in lively debates and share their insights, contributing to the city’s reputation as a beacon of knowledge and enlightenment.

Amidst the bustling streets, a diverse tapestry of people can be seen, representing different cultures, languages, and traditions.

The city embraces diversity and celebrates the richness of its inhabitants’ backgrounds.

Temples, mosques, and churches stand side by side, reflecting the religious tolerance and harmony that permeate the city’s atmosphere.

The city is not only prosperous but also well-governed.

Wise and just rulers, guided by principles of fairness and equality, ensure the welfare and safety of its residents. Law and order prevail, allowing the city to thrive and prosper under a stable and harmonious environment.

As Aeryon envisions this prosperous city in the heart of the Great Steppe, he is filled with a sense of determination and ambition.

He clench his fist and his eyes seems to shine.

They were times that he thinks grim thoughts.

But there are also time when he is hopeful for the future.

The things he vision in his mind might not came true. It might fall short. But like always, he rather shoot for the star than settle

He e envisions not only a city of grandeur but also a beacon of prosperity, cultural exchange, and intellectual growth.

He was Inspired by the stories he reads about the prosperous cities along the Silk Road

" I could always hire laborers. But that could only wait after I create a currency"

Aeryon plans also include an economic plan. When he spoke to Mayeux that time, all of this plan is outlined

"Capitalism, baby" Aeryon decided to be very tolerant toward merchant
