Way of Overlord Chapter 448 - 448 Politicians

448: Politicians 448: Politicians While the winds of the Steppe begin blowing south, in the Brolgadhr tribe, Aeryon return in triumph And such great triumph and victory should be celebrated.

This ti Aeryon went and win a battle that destroy a tribe.

Sordkazan is a famous tribe, an offshoot of the Kazan tribe.

It opens up the north, intimidate the enemy and encourage the allies.

When the news was relayed to the tribe of his victory, the entire tribe celebrated the news.

They were waiting for the Kan to return to celebrate this victory.

But then even after a few weeks, the Kan did not return to the tribe.

There was a hubbub of conversation among the tribespeople that maybe the Kan wanted to move the center of the tribe to the Sordkazan tribe and it almost created chaos in those monts.

So warriors even wanted to go to Sordkazan to question the Kan.

Fortunately, the Elder Council step up at this mont Rukari, Aeryon uncle et with this warriors When these warriors was inside their tents outside the city discussing to et the Kan, Rukari who had heard the news, jump onto his horse and ride out the city.

He reaches the encampnt of these warriors and without notification rushed through inside the encampnt.

A dozen horsen chase after him to stop him At first they wanted to attack and shoot the intruder to the camp but so of them recognizes Rukari, knowing that Rukari is the Kan uncle.

These warriors did not want to rebel.

That is not their intention at all.

They just wanted to question the Kan and ask whether he intends to move the capital To the warriors and the followers of the Kan, they all believed that Aeryon is creating his own kingdom and that kingdom has been expanding And to them the Brolgadhr tribe and the city that he is going to build would be the capital city of this new kingdom in the Steppe.

These warriors might not be as smart as Aeryon but they too have common sense.

Since they determined that the capital of this kingdom by their Kan to be in Brolgadhr they have invested everything around here.

From their grazing area to their hos and houses.

This part of the Steppe is not desert area like the western area and so, there is fertile lands around here and many grazing areas for the developnt of their livestock.

If the Kan changes his capital, then the investnt they made is useless if the center of power changes.

This is the simple thoughts of these warriors.

It is clear that their intention is pure and they did not want to rebel.

The mont they find out the one that is intruding in their camp is the uncle of the Kan, they did not dare to aim their arrow or attack him with flying axes.

Instead, they chased after him and try to stop him.

But even though Rukari is old, that does not an that his skill deteriorated.

And his horse is fast.

It did not take him long for him to arrive near the camp of that eting.

When he arrived near the camp, he jumped down from his horse and strode inside the tent.

His appearance shocked everyone.

The one leading these warriors in these discussions is soone from the Tuoba clan.

“What are you doing here, Elder Rukari!” That is the first word that the leader of this eting said the mont he sees Rukari.

And Rukari answer with a domineering tone “I am here to save your lives!” Rukari then manage to convince these warriors not to send people to question the Kan.

The camp disbanded and they return back to the city How did he convince these stubborn warriors to follow him?

Simple.

He just needed to use the truth In the eyes of the warriors, there is nothing wrong with them questioning the Kan.

But everything has its ti and place.

And Rukari tell them this.

If they co to the Sordkazan area bringing a thousand horseman to ask question, that is not asking question.

That is threatening the Kan.

And the Kan no matter how well tempered he is forced to make move.

You are a warrior of the Kan.

The Kan emphasizes loyalty the most.

Instead of trying to understand and accept the orders of the Kan, you question him?

Not only that…you want to make it as public as possible?

Are you crazy?

Do you have a second head on your neck?

Or is it possible that you could grow your head if it gets chopped off?

Why are you so eager rushing to die?

There is a road to live and you choose the road of death?

Only then the warriors understood it.

If they ca to Sordkazan with the way they planned, it is like showing attitude to the Kan.

It is an attitude he does not like and does not encourage.

Then regardless of whether he could forgive it or not, in the eyes of the tribes, the Kan has been slighted This is a matter of reputation, of power and of influence.

If Aeryon allowed this, more and more people would do what they did.

Today, you ca to him with a thousand horse to ask him question Next ti, who could guarantee that you would not bring ten thousand horse and ten thousand n to question him?

This sets a very dangerous precedent.

And to strangle that precedent in the cradle, the Kan had no choice either to kill all of you or exile all of you from the Steppe In the tents are all the warriors of the Tuoba, Murong and other clans that joined the Brolgadhr after the tribe rise.

The people of Brolgadhr, people of Xewa and Ghar tribe, people of the conquered tribes, none of them could be seen in the tent The reason is simple.

Even if those tribespeople does not know about the political aning of questioning the Kan, they understood that it did not matter what order the Kan is giving.

They simply needs to be loyal to the Kan.

They know that the Kan words are absolute.

In the tribe, there is only a few people that could speak to the Kan and speak in defiance against him and survive.

One of them is Mayeux.

The other is Belarion.

As for the others, if he is in the mood of forgiving, then he would forgive the transgression.

If not, then death is your destination.

The warriors quickly understand that they should not have done that.

Rukari manage to avert a disaster But even after a week of staying in Sordkazan, the Kan did not said anything about moving the capital.

This did not rattle the people in the city until a certain news reached the ears of the warrior.

there is the news of Khan inauguration in the Esbizuk tribe This shock everyone.

Dama called himself Khan and create five region under his Khanates.

He exalted himself, create a cause and attract warriors of the East to stand below his banner.

The warriors are now rattled and there is now conversation about the Kan should also takes the title Khan.

This ti the warriors is not as naïve as before.

They t Rukari and Rukari suggested them to send a ssenger with the Ashana and the Elder Council urging the Kan to take the title of Khan to battle the influence of Dama on the east.

But this ti the representative of the warrior look at Rukari with weird expression.

The last ti they wanted to send ssenger to urge the Kan to return ho, you did not allow them to do that.

Now, you want to rip a page out of their playbook and it is alright?

They do not understand and of course, these warriors does not play around They are direct and instantly asked Rukari, why is it that when we want to ssage, you forbid us and beco a bad thing?

But when you wanted to send a ssage, it is a good thing This ti it is different than before.

This ssage is to the benefit of the Kan.

Instead of angering the Kan, this ssage would make him feel happy.

And in happiness, titles and wealth could be won.

And unlike before, the warriors did not send a thousand horsen to go and instead send only five ssenger and fifty guard to escort the ssenger team This is not threatening the Kan but benefiting the Kan.

Only after Rukari told them the ins and out in a way they could understand, they back down and agree completely with Rukari plans.

Rukari might not be able to fight like Belarion or govern the tribe like Mayeux, but he sure does know how to play politics.

If he were born not in nomadic society but instead in a high concentrated bureaucracy like Yan, he could easily survive there relying on his political savvy alone.

This talent of his could never be realized before because in a small tribe with little intrigue and little interest, playing politics only weakness the tribe Rukari himself is a loyalist to the tribe.

It is why he protected his nephew all the way.

He diated the Elder Council and the Ashana so that it would not hinder his nephew >> CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Keikokumars Now that most of the lower south is settlld, it would be more about the current structure of the tribe and its buildings Until sumr where Aeryon would decalre himself Khan
