Way of Overlord

The Yan people called the method of the Steppe cowardly, but when the arrows of the Steppe people pierced the heads of these arrogant Yan soldiers, then ten thousand uttered words of cowards is not as heavy as the tip of the arrow.

Defenders as long as they do not squander their advantage, always held the upper hand. Provided that the enemy also makes mistake.

Aeryon had only met Chadha one time.

But he was the one that Aeryon is most wary of.

Why does the Khan is so wary at that old man?

Because of the many chief and people Aeryon had met, he rarely was wrong. But when he met Chadha at that time, he never pegged him as someone who could create such method and declare such bold words like separating the world.

The fact he could say such words and they fact he even created a nascent western regime, a nascent confederations to guards against him and manage to make all of the western tribes follows him....that make him feel wary.

Because he was wrong.

Since he was wrong from the beginning, there is a chance he would make a mistake when dealing with Chadha.

He alone knows how much people had died and how many of his resources is being used in this war. he is not fighting Chagai tribe alone.

If his enemy is only the Chagai tribe, it would not reach this point where he mobilizes tens of thousands of men.

It is because he is fighting the entire western tribe. And these western tribes are not easily pushed around

But the moment he died; he knew the biggest obstacle in taking the west has been neutralized.

And so, he simply has been waiting for his men to pulverize and weaken the other two tribes and then subdue the Chagai tribe.

Once he subdue the Chagai tribe, the other two tribes would fall afterwards. There is no question about this

And then he would recuperate while solidifying his rule and influence in the west. In two years at most, he would be able to subdued all of the tribes in the west.

And if Khagai tribe honour their words the entire western region from north to south would all be under his control.

And then with more than half of the Southern Great Steppe under his rule, he would attack the eastern side of the Steppe.

If he won, then taking over the entire Steppe would not be a dream.

Of course, at that time, he might have to change his approach and might have to change his target.

His plan is grand but circumstance might not allow him to do what he wanted to do.

Once he manage to unify the Southern Great Steppe, whether it be the Steppe people or the empires around the Steppe, they would be alarmed.

Because everyone knew how powerful the Steppe horsemen could get when they are unified.

All of those methods of sowing discords, intrigues and plots by the empires around Steppe levied upon the people of the Steppe are all because they fear there is a unifying figure on the grasslands.

If this was any other time, Aeryon would have never been allowed to become this big.

The moment Aeryon expanded the Brolgadhr and reaching a Great Chief status among the people of the Southern Greta Steppe, the Yan dynasty, the Western Zhou dynasty would probably crafted all kinds of plots and scheme to make sure he either died, or he lost his power.

This would be the common practice of this empire and kingdoms around the south. In any other times, Aeryon would have been oppressed to the point of desperation

However, the time he expanded the land and the time he choses to bare his fangs coincided with certain events all over these kingdoms that is advantageous to Aeryon

But right now, there is Yellow Turban rebellion in Yan.

And in Western Zhou, there is a succession crisis with the princes fighting each other for the throne.

None of them have any time to care about this rising Khan.

Even if thy know, they are helpless.

For the Yan dynasty right now, they do not know it, but this rebellion would begin the opening prologue of the empire decline and eventual fall.

As for Western Zhou, the fighting between the princes would lead the country weakened.

The only one power Aeryon is not worried about in his current location would be the Roma empire.

That empire is too far away from the south.

Even the Roma who had subjugated many of the tribes of the Steppe in the north, had never even reached the central part of the central plain’s region of the Steppe.

Then he shook all of his thoughts, opens his eyes and look at Chayun

"You wanted to surrender?" he ask.

Before he ask Chayun "did, he come here to negotiate a deal?"

But Aeryon already know what the deal is about Chayun is not exactly subtle with it. He had sent a message before. This message is a secret from other people

Whether it is the people of Brolgadhr or the people of Chagai, both tribe did not know this meeting or the reason for this meeting

The only one that really knows about this is Aeryon. If Mayeux is in the west, Aeryon would have ask his opinion. But Mayeux is far away and he did not have time to ask him

And it is not Aeryon could not act without his advisor.

He chose to believe

Aeryon when he first heard the message thought many things. Is this a method to lower down his guard?

Or is this a feigned surrender? He did not want to be like Cao Cao, believing Huang Gai and then suffer the Battle of Red Cliff.

It is not impossible.

He think a lot of thing when he first read that message.

There is a chance there is a scheme.

And he thought how would the Chagai tribe wins in the current situation. The situation is dire for the alliance.

The Nergui, the Ultar could not give any help.

The Chagai tribe even though they are connected with these two other tribes in the north, they are isolated in that the reinforcement that the other two tribes could give is minimal.

Once an alliance begins to fight only for oneself, then that alliance could no longer be maintained.

This is even truer for a military alliance

Why?

Because there is many reason to create an alliance.

In the modern world, an alliance is not simply to attack and conquer.

But also, a defensive one. Europe for example uses the alliance as a defensive method.

This allows them to have peace while at the same time extracting wealth from poorer nations.

Most of these poor nation was made poor by their colonizers.

And even after the colonization ages ended, the colonization only took in a new form.

Some empires, even though it disguises itself with the cloak of freedom and equality, they make sure any powers not of their alliance be rife with political uncertainties.

Or installing a leader favourable to them while making sure that the people of that nation believing that they are free.

Some others still retain advantages over their former colony.

After all, they robbed that colony poor and then impose debts.

Debts that they could have paid if not for the fact that they have been robbed blind.

And each time they have some prosperity, those who already ascended the ladder, would make sure these former colonies could not ascend that ladder.

Either though military force, though ideological distortions, or though economical might that they possessed

And some have military alliance against a stronger enemy.

And this is the problem plaguing the Cha Ner Ul Alliance.

They allied with each other because their enemy, the Khan, he, Aeryon the son of Rakarys is a formidable enemy to these people.

But if one could not coordinate reinforcement, could not trust the allies, then the alliance is useless.

After all, the only reasons that they could vie for the world is because they are allied to each other.

Without the alliance, they are just as weak as any other tribe.

Their strength and their ability resists Aeryon is...BECAUSE...of the alliance.

Without the alliance, they could not have win that many victories and would not have proven to be difficult.

If for example Chadha did not manage to unify the will and thoughts of those two other tribes, when Aeryon rode to the west, he could leisurely take down the tribes there one by one.

And the danger would not be as it is today.

And he would not have lost so many men just to gain an inch of land

But once an allay turns it back, then the alliance even if it does not crumble, it would be rendered useless.

So, Aeryon knows this.

And Chayun probably also knows this.

Aeryon then think of it from the perspective of the Chagai tribe. And he thinks if he were in the position of Chagai tribe, what would he do? How could he stop this menace from trying to take over the west?

His army is powerful, his generals are numerous, heroes are abounds and he is invincible in every battle.

From his debut to now, he had never lost a war.

Then what would he do? How could he find a sliver of hope to win this war? Aeryon thinks and thinks and then he finds there is a way

A way he himself sometimes forget

Assassinate him.

Kill him!
