Way of Overlord Chapter 346 - 346 Pushed By the Era

346: Pushed By the Era 346: Pushed By the Era To one that does not want to rule and conquer the world, spy agency is a way to control the information of the world, to sell it to the highest bidder, to assist capable rulers.

But for soone like Aeryon who wanted to rule, the spy agency is necessary to supplent the army.

If Aeryon has information but he could not use that information because of his soldiers is insufficient, it would feel like there is a delicious food in front of him but he could not eat it That is why before, he focused on the army building, rectifying the discipline and fighting the war the way the tribes of the Steppe fight the war.

But once the army is stable, morale is high, the discipline is there, Aeryon focused on creating a spy agency.

Aeryon did give so of his insight on how to create an espionage agency to Mayeux It is sothing new so he expected that Mayeux would make a lot of mistake and so he shares so of his insight.

Even so, he did not dare say all the things he talks about could be implented.

After all, Aeryon is starting from scratch.

Before, his tribe did not have such spy agency.

Because the tribe is small.

After he conquers the tribe, there is scouts and rchants but they are not what Aeryon believe constitutes as professional spies.

They are more like information brokers that he funded.

Aeryon had given the task of creating the spy agency to Mayeux.

And the most important thing is the recruitnt and training of these people The recruitnt of spies is different than the recruitnt of warriors and strategist, councillors and generals.

They look at different thing.

Mayeux himself is not that adept in creating a spy agency.

He could govern, he could coordinate supplies from the back and he could give wise insight and wisdom about strategies to defeat armies and soldiers but he is not wise in all areas.

Aeryon himself did not dare say that he is all knowing.

But he knows so thod and he gives this thod all to Mayeux.

He believe if he gives this knowledge to Mayeux at least a blueprint of how to create a spy agency, he would be able to do it.

The first is the selection.

To create a spy agency, at least, the induvial that are chose must be individuals who possess skills such as stealth, intelligence, and the ability to blend in.

Aeryon suggested to Mayeux to look for people who are already trusted within the community, such as scouts, traders, or those with a knack for gathering information.

There is such case before like Burchu who knows about so information that other people did not know about The information that he knows and get is only possible because he is there, local to that area Burchu uses that information to then help the Brolgadhr tribe and wanting to gain fa so that he could join the Brolgadhr tribe as a warrior.

If he did not have such information he would not be able to do the things he did and attract his attention What does this prove?

This prove that Local people and local warriors sotis knows things that they could not know.

That is the matter of selection.

As for training, he also discuss these with Mayeux and they agree that so of the training that Aeryon wanted to do is too unrealistic and cost too much.

So, so of his plans had to be scrapped but so of it could be implented Such as training skills in disguise, languages, and intelligence breaking.

Maybe he was to ambitions when he proposed this.

No, to be more accurate, Aeryon knows why he suggested these asures.

He just feel excited at the prospect of having an elite spy for himself.

Aeryon also wanted code breaking training but it would take too much ti.

Just that requirent of language is also sothing that he had to fight for in front of Mayeux.

Even though he wanted to create a spy agency like in the modern world, certain restriction would always hinder so of his more ambitious desire.

Aeryon also wanted to use thods like mock missions, training camps and ntorship from experienced spies.

But the ntorship could not be done just yet.

Because the first batch is not even there yet.

Right now, Mayeux just started to recruit people and select suitable people to enter the spy agency You could not tell them to run when they did not even crawl.

And Mayeux also suggested that diversification is important.

When Aeryon heard such suggestion coming out of Mayeux own mind without any guidance from him, he was truly relieved to left the task of creating the spy agency to him Mayeux is a person that Aeryon has great appreciation for because he simply fills the void that he sotis missed.

And like Aeryon Mayeux see the bigger picture.

Aeryon daresay in this world, there is nobody that could understand his ambition more than Mayeux.

It is like eting a bosom friends.

Maybe a thousand years later, the story between this monarch and his minister would be a story sung by the ages.

The wise monarch and the loyal minister.

Aeryon regarded Mayeux as soone who knows his heart and desire, a talent to govern the world, to assist him and with him Aeryon could rest his heart easy.

He could fight in the frontline and not worried that the tribe would fall apart.

But just like him, Mayeux is also young.

He does not know everything.

But he is growing, learning from practical experience.

Even the most famous and wise strategist starts from the bottom and that is the case for Mayeux.

There were tis he makes mistake but after making that mistake he would learn from it.

It is the sa for Belarion and him.

They are all young people.

So people shaped the era but sotis, the people are shaped by the era they live in.

Aeryon kickstarted the era and once the wind starts blowing signifying the new era, so people are pushed by this wind to the forefront Belarion is pushed by the proximity with the initiator of this change and now he is the most trusted general of Aeryon army and his influence in the tribe is large.

He is no longer just a silly oaf in the tribe.

Instead, he is feared and his presence in the battlefield raises the morale of the army.

He never loses in one-on-one single battle.

An almost invincible warrior.

His fa has also grown and even enemies tribe would always tries to create counterasures against him and even make him a priority to pin down And then there is Mayeux.

Only in this era of contention that he could show and use his talents.

Maybe in a more peaceful era, he could also shows his talent for governing the world but he surely would find it hard to rise in stations and status.

He cos from a humble beginning.

In the Steppe, he would not be trusted that much because his father and grandfather never try to understand the people that they lived with.

It is fine if they do not want to assimilate with the culture of the people that they live in with.

The Steppe did not forbid.

Roma itself is a powerful empire.

But to look down on the people who have given you hospitality, there is nothing more insulting and more shaful than this.

This is to spit on the face of your benefactor.

If Mayeux had left the Steppe and uses his talent in Roma, he would still not reach high position or status because he cos from a fallen family.

He would probably spend his whole life trying to reach higher status and failed to do so.

But Aeryon rise and the era he brought with his rise, brings about changes to many people fates and destiny.

Mayeux, soone like that is now the second voice in Brolgadhr tribe, highly trusted and even other chief had known about Mayeux, this advisor that counsel the Kan.

Because of Aeryon, because of the era, his na beco famous.

The Kazan tribe entertain Jayeux simply because they heard that he is the disciple of Mayeux.

That alone shows how much appreciation and awe people now have of the na Mayeux.

The era shaped these two people and pushes them froward to the forefront of this era.

Mayeux is a person that could quickly grasp the essential things.

He sees the bigger picture.

And in the steps to select spies, Mayeux quickly fills the gaps that are missing.

Halfway through his discussion, Mayeux even suggested to him for the agents to beco more potent in their espionage work, they need to also co from diverse backgrounds if they could The ruling elite would never be a spy unless there is interest against the ruling power of a tribe.

The one they should target is the low people, the disgruntled, the dissatisfied in the enemy tribe.

And even those who simply wanted benefit and fa and fortune.
