Way of Overlord-Chapter 605: The War In the West

In the summer of that year, the year of the Two Khans, in the Southern Great Steppe, Aeryon son of Rakarys, the Khan of the Southern Great Steppe as he proclaimed himself, sought to unite the western part of the Southern Great Steppe under his banner.

However, there is three great tribes standing on his way.

Chagai tribe, Nergui tribe and Ultar tribe.

These three tribes was merely a small tribe before they ride the storm of the era and become bigger and stronger.

These three tribes now known to the Southern Great Steppe as the Cha Ner Ul Alliance.

Chadha, the chief of the Chagai tribe uses his silver tongue to convince these two great nemeses to stand together and fought alongside each other

Nobody thought he would succeed, but Chadha has certain leverages among them. They all share a familia blood with each other.

And this common point is seized by Chadha and relying on his words, he somehow managed to convince those two to put down their hostilities and shake hands and created one of the most powerful alliances in the Southern Great Steppe since the time of the Songnu alliance during the time of Xun

The moment these three tribes truly allied with each other without prejudice, these three tribes exploded into power and become one of the powers in the west

Three tribes that is stretched from the south reaching high toward the north.

To the Brolgadhr tribe, this seems like a wall that is stretched far up to the north, preventing them from reaching to the south

Aeryon wanted to unite the Southern Greta Steppe. And to unite it, one need only have one voice.

Too many voices make everyone unable to listen.

Too many cooks spoil the broth

One voice is needed to unite the scattered tribes and forge them into the most powerful shield and the sharpest blade.

However, the Cha Ner Ul Allaicne sought to divide the two, to create a new order where the West and the East part of the Southern Great Steppe does not interfere with one another

In effect, it is splitting the Southern Great Steppe into two kingdoms

One that is ruled by Brolgadhr, and the other is ruled by the Cha Ner Ul Allaicne.

The plan was for the Cha Ner Ul alliance to control the west and for Brolgadhr to go to the east and together they could co rule the Southern Great Steppe

Chadha is not averse in sending someone to marry Aeryon if this matter could be concluded.

But Aeryon rejected such offer.

This is a difference in ideology and a difference of a way of governing the world.

This could not be resolved with words. And so, this must be solved in battle. This is a battle that needed to be fought!

And whoever won, he would be right!

...

Aeryon is standing on horseback. His horse is on top of a hill, looking at the battle in distance

He sighed and then he frowned.

"This is the first time our army fought on so many fronts"

Aeryon brought his army to an open field battle.

He was heading toward the Chagai tribe.

But of course, unlike before where he could easily take one tribe after the other, this time, most of the settlement of the tribes are empty. Instead, they have gathered in this plain to resist

Gathering instead of dispersing, centralizing the command, achieving unity of command structure and strengthening what is necessary and abandoning which is not

As for these plains, it is called the Red Plains.

He did not ride this route in the past as he follows different route to Zlata and Duhai tribe

The Red Plains is different from other plains

That is what Aeryon had gathered form some of the people he capture. There are many hills and valleys and stone.

There are many fantastical stories about the origin of all of these things. The battle has been going on for a few days.

He sent scouts first and then when the coast is clear, then he came. The battle has been fought and there is win and losses

Aeryon himself did not lead in front this time.

This battle is unlike the battle before.

This is a true war. Tens of thousand of horses, tens of thousands of people in each side.

When has such spectacle could be seen in the Southern Great Steppe then during the time of the invasion of the Yan people during the time of Emperor Wu of Yan?

"The Cha Ner Ul Alliance has been preparing this for quite some time" Aeryon mutters to himself.

The Cha Ner Ul Alliance had created outpost since the moment they capture the tribes that is near the East.

There is outpost near the Zlata and Duhai tribe and there is outpost all over the important area

A decisive battle is what Aeryon wanted.

One battle to determine the outcome.

But the more Aeryon wanted this, the more Chadha would deny him of this.

Aeryon sighed as he looks below.

"Tell them to retreat today" Aeryon mutters to one of his general

The general nodded and the sound of the horn echoes and both forces retreated

Aeryon look at the battlefield and he sighs. His eyes narrow down toward that general on the other side

"The West is full of heroes" he mutters to himself.

But then he smiles

"Only then it would be worthwhile. It is a good opportunity for my soldiers to gain experience"

Riding beside him is Kashoger son of Yar.

He was one of the fifty guards around Aeryon tent. He is also one of Aeryon family, cousin from his mother side and before he was a messenger

Now, he is his Commander of the Guard. Aeryon created the Kheshig. The Blessed Guards, as Aeryon called it.

Aeryon created it according to some fragmented memories that he has of the imperial guard of the Mongol

Aeryon of course make sure that Kashoger is qualified for the position.

And so, he had fought this older cousin of his.

And while he did not last long that is to be expected.

This cousin of his had fight bandit but not trained people and not trained soldier and even more so he had never fought against someone like Aeryon who is blessed by the system

Aeryon himself had found that the moment he becomes Khan and acknowledged by the people, he got a thousand Destiny points

Aeryon himself was shocked.

He did not expect that just by coronating himself he got one thousand destiny point out of nowhere.

None of this was expected.

Of course, Aeryon did not need to buy anything.

Because right now, he wanted to see whether he could save this Destiny points.

And as he rides west and defeated the forces of the Cha Ner UI Alliance, the destiny points awarded to him rises considerably.

By now, he has 2040 Destiny points. He did not even get this much defeating the Wustkazan tribe.

Sometimes he wonders how the system reviews his performance and how it decided to reward him this destiny point

Aeryon still did not quite understand how the system rated his achievement

Sometimes, it almost felt like he did not have the system

Of course, he knows the current system main objective.

Which is to unify the Southern Great Steppe

If he unifies the Southern Great Steppe, he probably will get a lot of system point and Destiny points.

If that is the main objective, then the others are merely side quest.

But this side quest also provides a lot of points.

There is even a conspiratorial idea brewing in his mind to nurture the enemies so that he could continue farming point

If not for the fact that there is the pressure of Yan empire on the south, Aeryon probably would do this, farm points, make himself stable and when there is advantage on every side, he would launch an attack that would sweep through all of Southern Great Steppe

It is just a pity that he had to quickly pacify the Southern Great Steppe, so that Yan could not take advantage and move north.

Aeryon also notices that the moment he began to move west, even small suppression team being sent out to defeat the enemy would gain him a few destiny points.

In a way, there is a certain advantage of this new system abilities.

Before, he needed to do it by himself. It is like a single player game where the rise and fall of your character is decided by you alone

But the current system he has is like gathering the power of the nation to fight for him.

This development is new

"Maybe it is because I declare myself Khan and bind the kingdom to myself?"

It is more like a kingdom development system now. It is destiny based.

And from what he understood it is not the destiny of one person.

The destiny of the Steppe.

What he has is one part of the Steppe destiny
