Way of Overlord Chapter 595: Declaration of Intention

Aeryon spend the next few hours after the coronation talking and mingling and then he call upon a great eting of the tribes.

It was evening when he set up this eting.

There he talks of his desire to expand to the west, and he painted them a pie of how they would have more grazing lands, more livestock and more power.

Aeryon spoke different things to different people.

To the people, he spoke of his noble aspiration. To the nobles, he spoke of them of the benefits, to the warriors he lures them with fa and fortune

Only he himself knows what he really wants and what he is really pursuing.

For every person have different desires.

The desire of a sheepherder is different from the desire of a chief. A warrior pursuit is different from the pursuit of a chief. And so on and so forth

Aeryon is an idealistic person.

But he is not so idealistic that he thinks everyone is a saint. He must not judge them according to his own perception. He must judge them from without bias.

See through their words and discern from their behaviour...what they really want. See their position and infer what they desire.

And he understood that certain thods require certain flexibility

If he talks about noble aspiration of benefiting the common people to the chiefs and the great warriors, it would be like playing a lute to a cow

So chiefs are hot headed, and so chiefs are honourable.

But most of them are opportunistic and only knows how to chase benefit.

If not for this, how could the Steppe remain divided. So surrenders to the powerful, while so are drowned by power

Hence, why Aeryon admire heroes and would lant the passing of a hero even if such heroes is against him

Because those who could be considered a hero is scarce.

Hence those who are brave, those who are resourceful, those who dare to dream the impossible and do the impossible is a hero to him and he would yearn to et with them and talk with them

This is why even when Garron, who is very much against him and sche and plot against him, Aeryon did not hate him personally.

Politically, he hates him, and he would never let Garron succeed.

But personally, he did not hate Garron.

He respects him as a person and admire him. Soone like him who could endure what others could not, could endure humiliation and mocking, knowing when to advance and retreat, knows when to grab an opportunity is a hero to him

Garron has many great qualities.

It is just that his luck is bad.

A hero trapped in a shallow pond.

Unable to rise to the sky.

But a hero is a hero.

It is a sentint that Mayeux could not understand.

Aeryon himself has the arrogance of a hero, believing he could subdue all the heroes in the world.

This arrogance is not cultivated in a day

Victory after victory, this confidence and arrogance is cultivated.

One might say this is a bad habit.

But those who aspire for the world, needs to have this confidence.

Just like so Sword God needs to have the confidence that they were invincible to possess the temperant of a Sword God, a ruler who wanted to rule over the world need to have that kind of arrogance and belief that they could subdue all heroes and conquer the world!

If not, when disaster strike and you do not have the confidence to get back up, then your ambition would die out, and you could only surrender or die

Those who dares to dream of conquering the world, all have to have this kind of temperant that believes that they are the only one in the world!

Aeryon in this eting has many objectives. But the more important thing is his military action toward the west

When he seated himself in the ruler seat inside the war tent, outside his palace, he looks at all the allied chiefs and the elders

The tent itself is larger than usual.

The part of the palace where he could discuss strategies and make military plans is still not completed.

It was only bare bones, and much furniture is not yet there. There are only walls and roof. So, Aeryon had constructed a large war tent outside the palace for today matter

All of the other chief that just ca to congratulate him has been escorted ho

The one that is left in this tent are all his allies.

He looks at all of them and then he announces

"The Southern Great Steppe has long experienced a ti of division. As one had heard from my Ashana, all around us, the empire of the past is now in tis of instability. In Western Zhou, all kinds of fake dragon wanted to seat in the throne. In Roma, the Goths and Alamanni attacks the borders of the Roma empire daily. And in Yan, warlords rise all over, the powerful families exacerbating the conflict, the deer has run away and the whole world is seeking it."

"The reason for the weakness of our Steppe people is none other than the fact that we are divided. I wanted to create achievent with all of you. Immortal achievent that would be rembered for generations"

"And my first step is to attack the West. Tomorrow...I would assemble my army, and order them to ride toward the west, rush into Ultar, break the Nergui tribe and crush the Chadha tribe!"

So of the chief hearing this frowned. The warriors on the other hand were joyful, with many of them showing so kind of glint in their eyes and so clenched their hands trying to hide their excitent

In this tent, the Brolgadhr tribe declares war on Chagai tribe.

"I agree"

"The west should be conquered" even though many of the chiefs said these kinds of words, and shows joyful expression on their face, Aeryon knows sotis what they say and what they really think is different

It doesn’t matter to him as long as he could gain their superficial support.

After all, they understand it, but the common people and the warriors would not understand it. In their eyes the chiefs are supporting him

And as long as the common people and the warriors believes it, it ans he won their support

Every chief that is in the eting was not shocked by this declaration. After all, everyone knows that this matter needs to have a conclusion sooner or later.

No one tries to persuade the Khan to retract his order. Because this is not so kind of democracy.

He is ordering them. The order might be polite, but it is still an order.

"Hmm" so of the chief even though they were the one that said words of acceptance when the Khan unfurl his vision, inwardly he is feeling hesitant.

"The young truly does not fear failure" These chiefs, not all of them are convinced by the vision that the Khan had laid out for them

Many of these chiefs had also t the envoys and ssengers of Cha Ner Ul and heard their proposition and proposal.

And so of them believe that peace with Cha Ner Ul is more beneficial

So of them does not object to the Khan expanding toward the west. After all, these chiefs that has followed Aeryon also wish the Brolgadhr tribe beco stronger.

Even though the benefit of this large tribe, this nation is not yet felt, they already could see the profit of peace that it would give them

But, why rush?

Yes, while so chief did not want Aeryon to annex the Cha Ner Ul Alliance, an intention bordering on treason, so chief on the other hand did not understand why Aeryon is rushing

To them, Cha Ner Ul alliance is not yet a big threat.

To these chiefs who really rely on Brolgadhr tribe, they would be more inclined to focus on Dama on the east

To them, the threat of Dama is bigger than the Cha Ner Ul Alliance.

Cha Ner Ul Alliance to them could be divided.

There is no need to rush.

In five years at most, Cha Ner Ul Allaicne, under intrigue and sches, they could be alienated with each other and at that ti, it would be good for them to attack.

Deal with the East first and then deal with the west.

None of them could understand Aeryon intention.

And Aeryon himself would not tell these people his real intention

Does Aeryon did not know that Dama is the bigger threat?

He knows.

But he still chooses to attack the west.

There are a few reasons for this. One of them, is because this is the grand plan from the beginning.

Take over the west, using the power of the west and the central region of the Southern Great Steppe to sweep all opposition!

The second one is because while Dama now held great montum, Aeryon believe that Chadha has the more dangerous vision.

Dama at least has the sa desire as him. Dama wanted to unite the Southern Great Steppe and attack Yan

Even though Aeryon believe that the power of one region is not enough to defeat Yan, Dama ideas in so way coincided with him
