But there is always a difference between having a foundation and not having a foundation. Before, he always have to worry about his tribe losing a battle.
Now, there is no such worries.
If he lose, even if the myth of his invincibility is broken, people would not leave him and the warriors would also not leave him.
Because now.... now they are tied to this kingdom that he had created.
The wealth and wellbeing of this kingdom is also tied to their wealth, fortune and prosperity of their family.
This is what having a foundation ans
"The West information need to be faster and more comprehensive" Aeryon believes if he has more resources and ti, he could make his spy agency beco more powerful.
But so things has to waits its ti. The spies that he has to grow first.
"I could only wait for now"
He doesn’t know whether his spies could get so news or not but this is the only thing he could do right now
Of course, if he could not get the news from his spies, this did not an he would abandon his plan
Whether he found out anything or not, the march toward the west must happen
As the tribes beco bigger, there is many more things he needs to do.
He also wanted to do more things and he knows he needs to create so departnt but for now he gave that job to Mayeux.
Only in this way, he could conquer with the soldiers.
He could not be like the Emperor in Yan where they rarely fight with their n
In the Steppe, imperial power has never stayed long and the prestige and majesty of the emperor does not frighten the people of the Steppe
Only the Yan people thought that they could use the majesty of the emperor to cow people into submission.
So, he has to fight. And he also knows he could make thousands of plans here but in the end, it would still be decided in the battlefield.
"There is a lot of things to do today" he sorted out the things he has to do. The commanders need to be given a shot of motivation, Ayera needs to be healed, the West needs to be settled
"First thing first. Before going to war, I need to give these people the full story" he sighed.
Aeryon then got up and walk outside of his study and reaching the outside of his palace.
He called the servants to prepare his horses and ride the horse out of the palace.
There is a road that only the Kan could use and he uses this road and reach outside of the city and towards the camp
This camp is large. It is made of hundreds of tents. This is the war camp. Instead of a war camp it looks more like a new settlent.
Aeryon also wanted to move the war camp into the city and into one of the palaces when he wanted to discuss the war
But other than his, Ayera and his family residence, most of the palaces is still under renovation and it is the sa for the neighborhood around the palace.
That neighborhood near the palace will surely be populated by his tribe’s mber and his minister and commanders.
He surveyed his soldiers before going in. He looks at their training and comnted on so of their thods
Aeryon image is stern but approachable in the battlefield. But it is not so approachable that one would act so casual
A few conversations with so of the one-hundred-man commander and then he goes to the war tent.
Inside, there is already many generals.
Most of them are young commander, all of them are commander of a thousand n.
There is ten of them here.
Which ans these ten n when gathered could mobilize ten thousand n
Of course, just because they are given the title of one-thousand-man commander did not really an they have a thousand n to mobilize.
Just like even if one is given the promotion of ten thousand n general does not an that he has ten thousand n under his command.
The title allows him to have a number of n under them. To get people, you have to fight for it
People follows who they believe and if people believe in your ability, they would follow you. But once you choose to follow, it is not easy to transfer to other generals or commander.
The only way to do that if it is approved by the person above you
It is very hierarchical but this lies its effectiveness. It is simple. The soldiers and warriors only have to worry about fighting.
Aeryon look at his soldiers and sighed a bit.
Mukhulai, Burchu, Belarion is not here.
"I would like it if they were here, but the situation needed them to stabilize the others"
Aeryon thought to himself.
Aeryon would feel safer if Belarion is around him but he could not really bury his own sworn brother talent.
Putting Belarion beside him and act as his guards is a waste of Belarion abilities.
If Belarion is the kind of person who only have simple minds, then Aeryon would be happy to let Belarion always guarding him, like Dian Wei guarding Cao Cao.
But Belarion even though he is quite simple, as he fights and as he is more and more adapted to his position, it was like his mind has been opened and he is progressing by leaps and bounds
It is not that they are not valued.
But Aeryon had positioned them and they are waiting instruction
It is because he valued them that they are not here. It is also because he trusted them that they are not here.
Only people who is trusted by him could guard the borders and do the things he wanted to be done.
Aeryon stopped before the war tent. This war tent is three tis bigger than the war tents during his early days when he was just a chief of the Brolgadhr
He smiles and laughed
"how far I have co and how further I will go" he mutters to himself. He laughed a bit and then he jumped down from his horse
The servants saw him and he gave them the reins of his horse as he walks toward the tent
..
Aeryon enters the tent and the hushed voices beco silent. All of them look at him and bows a little.
Aeryon look left and right like he was scanning the commanders and the people inside it.
there is so recognizable faces in this tent.
But there is also many new faces.
Aeryon look at them, smiles and nodded and they nodded back
The ones in the tent right now was once his enemies
There is the warriors of Wustkazan.
He had managed finally to subdue them. None of them look unhappy.
Aeryon is also quite adept in winning people hearts.
in the Steppe, there is no need to use so many words or sche to win the hearts of the warriors of the Steppe
Exhibit your generosity and hospitality and show your strength, and mots warriors would submit to you
The kind of people like Chadha and Garron is rare who is warriors and politician at the sa ti
He look around at them and he nodded at them
There is Xiwanu, there is Lughan, Cahya and Chulun.
And then there is Mu Cha.
These are the warriors of the Wustkazan that had surrendered to him.
The others he had all fought and acknowledge their abilities.
But Mu Cha is soone he did not yet quite understand.
This is a person who also wields a spear and his thod of spear is also quite powerful. He is also one of the mysterious n that fought during the Wustkazan battle and impressed Aeryon and Belarion
"it would take so ti before I could assess his abilities" Aeryon thought to himself.
They tried to pacify and unite the forces of Wustkazan but in the end, the general trend could not be defied.
Belarion fought against the resistance in Wustkazan and subdued these n and send him to him three days ago.
He had a talk with each of them and promise so things and they all agreed to work under him.
To show his trust, he gave Xiwanu the promotion to a thousand-man commander. As for the others, he gave them a hundred-man commander
And they are not to be serving under the people they know instead they are given to other one thousand commander
Aeryon did not want a faction to form right now
He could not stop it because when there is people, there is interest.
But at least for now, when it is still not that big, he still have enough power to minimize the power of faction.
And it is also good that most people of the Steppe is not adept at politics play.
Most of the one holding the power, prestige and influence is still the old people of Brolgadhr.
