Way of Overlord Chapter 589: Scholars of the Steppe

DANG!

DANG!

The sound of the drums could be heard, and the sound of footsteps echoes heavily all over this area of the plains.

"Look at that!" so of the people exclaid. The banner of a white wolf.

The Brolgadhr nobilities. Those people who are related to the Kan. The family and clan of the Kan

Most of them ride in a golden tent and so of them would look out from their windows curtains

The appearance of the golden moving tents fills the people with awe. There is this feeling like they are of a different breed from them

But the procession is quite fast.

And then the drums sounded again. Only this ti, the drums sounded like it is urging an army to go to battle and then the standards and banners of the generals is raised up

The army shows their might and the whole Steppe would tremble!

Showing military might to deter evildoers and to assure allies!

Elders, generals, the Tun, ten thousand n commander all shows their might, so are marching, so are riding, so wears terrifying mask, so wears fur of terrifying beast on top of their armours

All shows that they are powerful and terrifying. A ssage to everyone that is looking

One did not see Belarion, Mukhulai and Burchu these rising stars.

But no one questioned it.

Everyone knows that all these three rising stars of Brolgadhr military is doping important work during these tis.

Most likely they are under the order of the Kan himself.

The area and structure of the audience is inner circle, middle circle and outer circle. The platform is in the middle of the plain.

Its platform is high and tall and for the inner circle, these are the Kan most trusted people. From the Ashana of his tribe to the Tun commanders and the chiefs of vassal and allied tribes

Then there is also the Ashana. They co and under the ceremony, pray and chants ancient words.

Aeryon who is waiting behind a large tent also heard these chants, but he did not know what it ans.

He does however feel so kind of tranquillity after hearing it.

The Ashana calls upon the spirits of the ancestors and great heroes of the past to bless the ceremony and the other Ashana from the major tribes under Brolgadhr that have co here to offer their congratulations also is escorted in to sanctify the coronation with multiple blessings.

Then the sound of the horses’ hooves echoing through heaven and earth rumbles in the distance.

Ten-thousand-man leaders that is promoted by Aeryon shows their face. Then there are trusted generals and advisor.

The generals are being led by the Murong and Tuoba while the advisors and minister is led by Mayeux.

Then there are the herald, scribes and keepers of records. This is also an institution Aeryon created to write about his reign and the lives of the people of the Steppe

The reasons why the barbarians are sared is simply because the Yan people is the only one holding the pens and they could make up stuff

But even in his world, those who seek the truth, the future generation would surely find the truth

What they found might only be a kernel of the truth, but it is enough to show that as long as people wanted to seek the truth, if they are steadfast in searching for the truth, they would find it

Then it is the chief of the small clans and tribe, even herders and horse breeders from smaller tribes send their representatives.

These are the kind of representatives that could not enter the feast the night before

Their intention to co is simply to show them in front of the Kan and they did not have such complicated thoughts like so of the more powerful tribes.

But they are also invited. Aeryon peek from the curtain and nodded

"I need them to be here and spread what happens here today to all of the Southern Great Steppe"

In this world, propaganda is not so easily disseminated like in the modern tis where one event on another part of the world could travel the world in a matter of seconds

Writing and books and articles are not thod Aeryon could use because the amount of people could read could be said extrely scarce

Most of them could speak different language but not read.

For example, tribes of the Steppe who lives in the North could speak broken Roma words.

Those near the east could speak so Yindu dialect and the West and South of the Steppe could speak a bit of the dialect of Yan and Western Zhou which has the sa root in language

But speaking it and understanding it does not an they could read.

Not to ntion because of their nomadic behaviour for most of its reigns, it is hard to popularize reading and the act of writing itself is only maintained by the Ashana

Aeryon himself only learns more advanced writing after he possessed this body.

And if these people did not read how could Aeryon disseminate thoughts, disseminate information using writing?

So, then what could he rely on? None other than word of mouth. These herders, these small tribes and clans are the most eager to speak such thing as a form of bragging.

The Nogai tribe after hearing these stories would strengthen their determination to beco a vassal of Brolgadhr and other tribes that is on the fence could even be convinced.

Aeryon knew what he is doing is good for the people of the Steppe. But the people of the Steppe don’t know that.

So, he wanted them to know

Only by knowing then they can submit sincerely to him

It is not only the lesser clans is here

There are also outsiders

rchants.

So of them already knows about the coronation and opted to stay to watch it.

There is a platform for them to see it from afar.

Then there are rchants who ca here just right in ti and could see this coronation procession.

Of course, these rchants stay not just to admire the scene.

After all they are not scholars that seek the truth or a chief that is entangled in the matters of power

They stay because they knew there is people coming and going.

And where there are people coming and going, there is a chance of making profit. And how could a rchant pass up the chance to make a profit

So of them already make profit by selling their wares during the days before the coronations.

And Aeryon also knows that among these people, these rchants, there would also be spies from neighbouring tribes.

Many of them gives them tribute and Aeryon accepted the gift, and he did not mind letting the spies sees the splendour, the might and power of his tribe.

The only tribes that would not be wavered from hearing the description of his kingdom would be those tribes that have already decided to fight for the Southern Great Steppe

If there are spies from Esbizuk or Cha Ner Ul tribe, if they relayed what they see today, instead of inducing them to surrender, Aeryon is quite sure those tribe would make the training of their people to be more rigorous.

Eagles and falcons flew the sky, released to the vast horizon of the distant sky.

Aeryon look at all of this, and he nodded.

It is ti for the second step. Now all of the audience is there.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOOM!

The sound of the drums echoes even louder.

There is the sound of throat singing echoing all over the plains. These singers are situated right on top of the platform furthest side

There is a barrier on the platform so that people will not fall if they walk to the edge and it is from this place, that these people are singing.

They are singing in only one spot but then all the people in this circular concentric circle of guest was shocked

"What is this?"

So of them even bow to the ground.

The wise among them look around trying to find so kind of device like horns or sothing but their search would be fruitless

"The sound is like......it is like they are singing beside "

The Ashana that accompanied these chiefs all explain to the chief and the warriors so that they would not be panicked and think the Kan is doing so kind of evil spell on them

In Aeryon worlds, evil speel could be relegated to superstitious but in this world, evil spell does exist, and magic traces could still be found all over the world.

If these chief think that the Kan is cursing them or embedding them with so kind of dark magic, good things would suddenly be bad things

The position of the platform seems to be able to convey the voice there to all direction if there is a barrier to redirect the sound

The Ashana in the Great Steppe are not just rely shamans that divine the fates, they are also akin to scholars who seek the truth
