Way of Overlord Chapter 431 - 431 Era of Suffering

431: Era of Suffering 431: Era of Suffering Belarion, he muttered in his heart He is very worried about his sworn brother.

“Belarion would understand it but he could not employ it.

This is also a chance to see Xiwanu and Lughan ability.

If they could help Belarion in his duty, then I could use them more later” Aeryon thought to himself And then every once in a while I could co periodically to check on the region Belarion would be replaced once the area is stabilized.

After all, Belarion is more useful in the battlefield.

But Aeryon doesn’t think there is a need for a big battle for a while Cha Ner Ul alliance has own many areas and now they are dividing rewards.

Dama also had own the land of Estkazan and Sordkazan and he would take so ti to integrate and pacify that region.

Even more so, considering how that land was taken.

There is many tribes there that is loyal to the Kazan tribe.

Or maybe they would use the banner of the Kanz tribe to simply rally against the occupation of Dama Dama uses the path of force in expanding so he must prove that his force is enough to quell all unrest.

If he could do that, then the rebellious forces in those two areas would surely calm down.

But that would take so ti.

Hence, Esbizuk tribe would be mired in internal problem with no energy to expand.

Utgard it seems is also a bit in a pinch if so of the reports he reads is to be believed.

Aeryon himself had own a lot of lands and people and resources and he also needs ti to digest all of this.

Every big tribes that has made move to expand and now free from the dust of war all needs ti to recuperate and no one is eager to start a war.

Spring would be over in a few weeks.

It is ti to rest.

It is because of this he is confident enough to place Belarion as the overseer It is ti for him to learn and open his mind to a broader world.

If it’s a ti of war, Aeryon would rather put anyone else rather than Belarion.

Belarion is like the top gun of the tribe When Aeryon send him forward, he rarely worries about Belarion being defeated.

And after fighting the battle with Xiwanu and Lughan and the warriors of Wustkazan, Belarion combat abilities seems to rise again.

“I do need to train with him to see how much he has improved” he paused for a second and sighing with a bitter smile “I expect myself to be beaten even more worse than the last ti” Aeryon does have the system But Belarion progress is very fast.

Aeryon need to complete task to get points to increase his strength.

However, Aeryon had never designed his template stats to be a pure warrior.

Instead, he mostly used his points to buy resources for the tribe.

He sees himself more as a ruler than a warrior.

Aeryon smiles as he finished writing.

He had written everything that he could think of.

He did not need to go into detail The more detail he wrote, the more restrictive it would beco.

So flexibility would be needed It gives more room to wiggle and he only need to write the outline of the policies and asures.

Aeryon then roll up the parchnt Then he got up and stretch his back a bit.

He look outside his tent and the settlents is already in hustle.

Aeryon wears his robe.

Aeryon designed his own robe “The tailors of Yan is really masterful” Aeryon uses the Yan slaves as farrs.

Those are the Yan most prized feature for the Steppe people Their abilities to farm.

And craftsman.

Aeryon had already send so of his n to learn from these craftsman.

There are so Yan people who are stubborn and did not want to teach the Steppe people but that was in the minority.

And once they are coaxed by money and safety, they fall down easily.

The influence of the emperor did not extend to the countryside and the loyalty toward emperor, and country are only useful when trying to win the world Those who uses such slogans are only the nobles and the elites who have ti and leisure to fight for the world In this era, nationalism, ethnonationalism, loyalty to the country, honour, loyalty to the emperor for the common people pales into comparison to a bowl of rice and a bowl of at Those who did not live in this era could not imagine the pain of starvation.

Aeryon did not suffer these but it is not like he couldn’t see that there are so clans and tribes that are starving.

The child bones is exposed.

And there is even more of such people in Yan.

Eating their own child or cutting their at to feed the child.

People eating people, body of ats turns to wrapping of bones Driven by starvation, unreasonable laws, people would rebel The docile sheep rebels.

Which shows you, even if you wanted to exploit them, there should be a limit.

When one is pushed to the corner with no avenue to go to, when the laws only protects one people, when even the façade of fairness is thrown to the ground, when there is no way out than death, rebellion does not seem so scary.

Even those sheeplike people of Yan would rebel when they are forced into a corner.

Hence, the hard currency of this era is not gold, silver or copper but food.

Aeryon only need to give people food to make the craftsman, artisans, blacksmiths, tailors and all other talents of Yan to teach his n.

The craftsman teaches his people on how to operate siege weapons.

Aeryon did not want to be unprepared.

Genghis Khan when he first attacked Song dynasty was quite flustered when they began to attacked walled cities.

And there were a few tis that Genghis Khan was defeated.

Only then he would adapt to the mode of war for walled cities.

Aeryon did not yet have to fight walled cities.

But it would not be long now.

If he really is able to unite the Southern Great Steppe, he believes that the threat would not co from the Central Great Steppe.

It would not co from the east.

Nor would it co from the South The East have that Yindu Mountain range.

Yindu itself seems to be in a state of war right now.

So, there would be no threat from the east for the foreseeable years.

Yan has their Yellow Turban rebellion and Zhou Bufan is holding onto the capital Central Great Steppe did not have a unifying figure to attack Southern Great Steppe.

And if they do manage to have a unifier to rally on, Aeryon would have found a way to alienate them with each other.

And he could even create a coalition with the other regions of the Steppe to contain such a power.

So, Aeryon does not worry that the Central Steppe would attack the Southern Great Steppe.

The West however does.

The Western Zhou.

If the Western Zhou emperor learn that the Steppe tribes on their eastern border has managed to unify itself, they might be scared enough that they would drop their internal problem and unite themselves to fight against Aeryon.

Aeryon would like it if they did not do that but Aeryon believe not everything would go according to his wishes.

He does not underestimate the greed in human heart but he also did not dare to overestimate it.

Clarity could sotis be found during a mont of crisis.

If such a situation rises, Aeryon would at least have a way to break the cities of Western Zhou.

That is the use of the craftsman that he had taken from Nurshira.

But for tailors…for tailors he has so other plans for them.

Tailors and artisans other than the normal stuff they produce for the common people; they could also produce luxury goods.

Of course, the tailors and artisan in Nurshira is not as many as those in the central plains but there is so There is a plan that he made of using these labours, these tailors and artisans to boost the economy Trade goods , luxury goods to other tribes and distant cities.

Distant tribes in the north and the empires in the north and the cities of Yindu in the east Aeryon also uses the tailors to create so innovations to the tents of the Steppe people There is no improvents yet but Aeryon did give these architects and builders, tailors and artisan a direction to work on.

They need to improve the tents, the yurts and gers of the Steppe people so that it have greater durability, warmth and mobility They are also used to build the city of stones that Aeryon had envisioned.

And the robe that he is wearing right now, is a tailored regalia They crafted from him a more elaborate and symbolic garnt for him.

And Aeryon also wanted to create such clothes for his trusted warriors and great general.

Making the ruling class to have more dignity and sophisticated authority.

Aeryon wears the robe and even the guards that saw him feel awe.
