Way of Overlord Chapter 323 - 323 Two Types of Chief

323: Two Types of Chief 323: Two Types of Chief Aeryon at that ti did not feel the change of tis and he was surprised when he saw the sun set and the moon rises but he was not panicked.

And when night ca, there is a floating wisp of light that suddenly gathered in front of him.

These wisp rge with each other and turns into a wisp of blue energy the size of a small ball, floating in front of him.

And when Aeryon muster his courage and tries to touch this wisp of energy, the system quickly identified it as the Spirit of the Great Steppe.

This is his mories of what happened when he got the Spirit of the Great Steppe.

The system ask him if he wanted to absorb the Spirit of the Great Steppe before deciding what to do with it.

Until then, everything is still as the sa as he had expected.

So, he decided to absorb the Spirit of the Great Steppe.

The Spirit of the Great Steppe is not absorbed into his body but into the storage of the system It is only when the Spirit of the Great Steppe into the storage system that the prompt appears and tell him about mory lock.

And since knowing that he has been quite uncertain of his own mory and it frightened him to know that the mories he have is fake.

Rarely he hesitated in life, but now, he truly hesitated.

Aeryon sighed as he look at the moon.

What he looks is the moon but what is in his eyes and in his mind is not the moon Instead, the mory of that day, and the scenery of that day is reflected clearly in his mind.

“the more I delay, the less I could do” He did not know to choose.

And he does not understand what will happen if he does take the Spirit of the great Steppe and rge it with his system, The quest that he is on right now requires him giving up the Spirit of the Great Steppe to his horse.

If he took it could he still between the Spirit of the Great Steppe to his horse?

Or will the Spirit of the Greta Stpepe now beco one with his system This however is not the thing that made him uneasy.

After all, he could understand that sacrificing sothing small for the big is a thod that any ruler should know and apply.

Sotis, you must accept you could not have everything.

Even more so for Aeryon who is just starting out.

What he is afraid of, what is this changing the system The Warning prompt was given three tis.

And each ti the warning prompt appears, Aeryon could hear the siren sound in his head.

He needs to determine, what is the system actually?

How did he get it?

He never seem to questioned the system that much.

But where does he got it?

Is the system is his ally?

Or is it a hindrance?

Is the system the reason why he have mory lock?

And what is a mory lock anyway?

And what did it lock?

Should sothing that be locked be unlocked?

But the most important question is…who locked it?

And if he is the open who locked it…is it wise to unlock it?

Aeryon could not help but make this speculation.

He might be the one that locked his own mory.

But there is also a chance that he is not the one that lock his mory and it is soone else.

There is too many things he doesn’t know, too many question that he did not know the answer of.

Aeryon always like to have all the facts before he make a choice.

But he also has to accept that soti, all he could do…..is do.

That sotis fate and destiny is sothing that he could not mould.

That certain thing just require faith Because the world does not always follow your whim.

It is nice to want to know everything before making a decision.

Who in the world doesn’t know that only when you have all the information you could make the most well thought out decision.

But life does not always give you ti to get all the information.

Which rulers in the world that rise from the bottom did not know this wisdom.

But circumstances, the tis, the people, the era does not always give you a choice.

There is so many example in history of heroes dying and looking at the sky with their eyes open.

These rulers, monarch, generals, warriors all blad the heavens because so ti things are out of their control.

And this is the difference between quality of rulers.

When not all the facts is presented to you, the decisiveness and the strength of the leader is the difference between winning and losing In such a ti, you have to make decision and stick with it.

Only then will people respect you and only then could you have confidence.

Because at that ti, you could only hope that you make the right choice.

And if its not the right choice, then you have to move heaven and earth to make the wrong choice beco the right choice.

It is either that, or lose.

And sotis, they lose.

And only then could he bla fate and destiny.

Because sotis, fate and destiny does play a part in victory.

So luck just fall in the lap of certain person and so people no matter how hard they work could not get this luck.

And now Aeryon is at that kind of situation.

He wanted more information about the system.

But where would he find such information?

Probably, even if he scours the entire world, and raided all the libraries in this world, none of them could tell them anything about his system From the very beginning, he could no longer find any information about the system.

So….in this kind of ti, in this kind of dilemma, Aeryon need to make a decision.

Change the system or not?

Would he be exposed to more danger if he changes the system that he is now familiar with?

Or will he lose an opportunity if he did not change the system?

What if the system is the one supressing his mory?

What does his mory hold?

Is it his true self?

Or is it that the mory supress the mory of his death?

All of these question are question that he already asked himself before when he was rushing from the cave back to the tribe.

And tonight, those question floated again.

But unlike before Aeryon no longer wanted to delay in making this decision.

He could not delay any longer.

The system gave him a lot of stuff.

And it is based on these stuff, he could stabilize the tribe and why when winter ca, the people of his tribe and the people that co to his tribe for shelter and aid is not starving.

the people of the Steppe reveres the strong but they also respected kind leader.

A strong leader could kill enemies and fight off invaders.

A kind leader is soone who could let them live in peace.

But this harder to do than being a strong chief Because a kind leader had to be benevolent and benevolent toward the people is not as beneficial as to being benevolent toward the warriors class.

It is not that they did not want to be kind but in such a ti, such a limitation, people always need to make a choice Kind leader are bullied hence most choose to beco strong leader.

And the strong attract strong and weed out the weak.

This practice is a bit cruel but it also has created an environnt where the grassland people is more hardy than the people of the settled societies around them Compared a people who could withstand cold, heat, disaster and people who sit at ho, reading books, singing and dancing and could not even lift a sword.

But, in the end, tyranny repels people.

So, a bit of both approach is preferable for most rulers of the Steppe.

The people of the Steppe did not have harsh requirent for their ruler.

Instead, the requirent is very easy But easy does not an that is simple to do If any of the chief could do one of these, whether to be strong or to be kind, it is enough to win them praise.

It is nothing like the classification of rulers that the scholars who talks about the emperor virtue, or the ruler behaviours.

You let them live and they would repay you with their life.

You give them honour and dignity and they would give you everything But Aeryon could do both.

When in battle, he could conquer tribes and fend off invaders, his might deters those with evil intention This is the trait of a strong ruler.

When he dismount his horse, he could govern the people well, the people are not starving, the rule of law is observed and prosperity is rising.

If one chief has only even one of this trait, he would already be loved by the people.

One could imagine the kind of reverence and loyalty that Aeryon inspires.

Victory after victory, and after each victory, every n that make contribution would be rewarded, land and sheep’s, Tayak and Ayrag, gold and silver To join and beco one of the main army of the Kan is a fast track of changing the fate.
