Way of Overlord Chapter 567: Joy and Sorrows

The Steppe people always cares about the present and not the far-flung future. Hence, they always live freely.

They might not beco princes and kings, but their lives is clearly freer than princes and kings

They could burn down the world for their families. This kind of hatred and love is a potent drug.

The Yan people always cos to attack the people of the Steppe. But since Aeryon and his coalition of tribes attack Nurshira and break that city, the Yan soldiers could not be seen roaming the Steppe anymore

So, to the common people of the lower south of the Southern Great Steppe felt like the Brolgadhr tribe is the protector of the Steppe

Not only they protect the area, they also brings about prosperity in the land. Near the streams there is channels, and there is food.

There is around hundreds of settlents around the city if one counts the small settlent around the four direction of the city.

If one could see the area with a sky viewpoint, they could see it is like a concentric formation with the city serving as the center point of hundreds of small settlents around it following the four main road leading out of the city.

And these four routes has ford.

The road of the city extend only a few miles from the city gates.

But there is a trail that has ford naturally as people from the four direction follows the route. The trails of horses and n that frequent these routes forms these routes

The four routes to Brolgadhr!

That is what these routes are called.

The settlent that has sprouted like mushroom in the lower south is because the stability.

There is only one head that rules these many areas and able to make all the small chiefs and tribes to bow their head hence it is peaceful

And unlike other chiefs, Kan Aeryon did not allow anyone to practice banditry in his area

As long it is considered his sphere of influence if you are a bandit group be prepared to beco the whetstone of the new recruits of the Kan army

If you want to go beco a bandit, you can. Go to the East and wreak havoc toward the East or go to the West to contend with the western border tribes and the Cha Ner Ul Alliance

If you think those big tribes are out of your league and you do not want to offend the tribes there, then go to the south and robbed those caravans of the Yan people

At least, you would be considered a hero if you killed those genocidal race.

Hence, because of that, there is few bandits and the closer you are to the city of the Brolgadhr the safer it is.

This week, everyone heard there is many good news for the nobles of the city.

The chiefs and the warriors knows more things than the common people and they think more things than the common people

But the common people did not think too much.

All they know is the city have sothing to celebrate.

The wife of the Kan has regained consciousness and the Kan himself is about to take the title of Khan and invites all of those who wanted to congratulate him to sincerely co

And now on another route, it is full with common folk.

The army has already set the routes where the common people could co into the cities to see the coronation and at the sa ti to revel and enjoy the festivities

There is Steppe won walking alongside other Steppe won, laughing and chatting while they are walking toward the cities.

They wore fur lined cloak and embroidered dresses. Behind them is their families.

So of the children of these people of the Steppe, bringing basket of fresh cheeses, mare’s milk and so brought food to sell in the side of the road of the cities.

And as these families of common people enter the cities, so of them were shocked.

For the n they always co to this city and was not as surprised.

But for the won who ca from the father settlents and for those that ca here for the first ti, they are inherently shocked. Because the people is everywhere.

It gives the illusion like it is the city of Yan of Chang’an and Luoyang

As they walked along the road, looking left and right at the buildings that seems to be rising from the ground, they could not help but feel awe

On so of the establishnt, they could hear people telling stories.

These are wandering storytellers, Pencerita, Those Who Tell Stories is telling stories.

So of the Pencerita would also play lutes while singing old songs of old heroes.

So tell the stories of the formation of the Brolgadhr tribe

The n who have the specialties runs toward the route of the warriors and they quickly set up shop.

These are blacksmith, leatherworkers, bowyers and craftsman.

They have their own portable forges and they set up their business on the side of the street. So who have connections and buys the permits goes to the market square.

All of them is hoping to profit from the influx of warriors needing their gear nded or those warriors who wanted to buy new weapons.

The woman goes to sell foods and drinks, also setting up tarps and small tents.

These traffic of people have been going on since the day the news reached the people. It spreads from one tribe to the other.

And among the people, the rchants, the warriors, the elders and the chief and patriarch of clan, there are also people from a more far away parts of the Steppe.

These are people from the other regions of the Great Steppe.

People from the Western Great Steppe, the Eastern Great Steppe and even the people from the Northern Great Steppe

How they know this is quite peculiar but it is a fact that these people also enter the cities to see

And there is also the curious outsiders who is trading here in the Southern Great Steppe and was just in ti to heard the news of the coronation of the Khan.

They then stayed a bit longer and so who were planning to stay here for a mont extend their stay to even see this mont

There is people form the land of the sand, their wagons heavy with iron and glassware, blue eyes blonde hair traders from the far north land, their fine robes standing out in the sea of leathern and fur and even a handful of pale faced wanderer that have hazel and green eyes

And what about the city?

This place that was once a small settlent, a quiet place of herders, with very little to no warriors, now thrumd like the heart of a great beast

The city wall is tall, and the defense is tight

Inside the city, there is all kinds of stall. There is food like roasted mutton and there is even the delicacies of Yan, dumplings with spice from distant land for the rich and powerful

There is healers that sell their craft, offered herbs for healing and fertility. There is inns where people overflowed, strangers would greet each other

The plains outside is full of caravans and wagons, and campfires. Drums and flutes mixed with the distant whinnies of restless horses

the grasslands around Brolgadhr looked like a sea of tents and banners.

The roads into the city were a living river of hooves, wheels, and footsteps, all flowing toward the center

The few next days would be interesting. Now, on the northern area of the city, outside of its tall city walls, the place where the coronation ritual would be about to take place is now being prepared by Ashanas, and labourers.

As for the main character of this ritual, he is still in the palace

One could only fathom what he is thinking as he sees the sight of today

...

anwhile on the Western Side of the Southern Great Steppe.

The West has been pacified, the Khagai tribe has managed to pacified the region swiftly.

Valgrun is standing on his chariot, looking at the battlefield a few miles away from him. And he nodded

This would be the last rebellion. He thought to himself. When he managed to win over the Bolghar tribe, he replaced the Bolghar tribe as the hegemon on the western side.

Bolghar has always been able to beco a hegemon but they never could escape from being trapped on the west. Because Bolghar tribe is a western border tribe. That title alone is a responsible.

Valgrun could not accept it. But chance never ca for him during his youth. It is only now, when he has white hair on his head that such chance appears and a unifier appear in the Southern Great Steppe

He could not fight for hegemony but his sons and his tribe could probably see that scenery he wanted to see.

’Aoshi tribe and the other upper western tribe" he sighed. This is one of the reason he could not go to the coronation ceremony.

It is not because of so slight or rebelling. It is just that he could not afford to

Valgrun only shakes his head and pull the reins and the horses moves toward the main camp. When he enter the main camp, he rested.

Even though he is old, and even though Ota is no longer there, his prestige has never been higher. In hundreds of years, the Khagai tribe never had such chief that able to beco the warlord on the west.

Valgrun did that. When he is resting inside his tent, he close his eyes and he shakes his head

"I hope the matter of the west could be solved as quickly as possible. I could not hold those people for long"

Sighing, Valgrun close his eyes and went to take a nap.
