Chapter 244: Waiting for A Chance

He might not be educated and did not learn many advanced strategies. But there is things you picked up as you grows older. He also has his own plans.

His plan is toward the north

And Toghrul tribe is the second step to that.

The first step is none other than Haltur.

Since he is now in the whirlpool he could only go along with it and secure the best advantage for his tribe.

And if Toghrul tribe do not want to contain the Gir tribe, there is still the Nergui tribe.

As for Ino tribe, there is a chance that they might send warriors to help Haltur.

But that chance is slim. Ino tribe itself does not have that many warriors.

And if Toghrul tribe makes a move, Ino tribe would think twice before it sent any of their warriors.

Even if they could, the amount of warriors they could send would be limited since they also have to defend themselves.

If the Chagai tribe attack Haltur, then Ino tribe must know that this is the action of the Cha-Ner Ul alliance.

The chief of the Ino tribe would also look toward the Ultar tribe because the Ino tribe now borders with Ultar.

Before they did not.

But Ultar takes most of the area under the Aksak tribe.

And there is still the settlement there near the Aksak tribe old settlement.

Though these settlements and these people belongs to the Ultar tribe

"Once I take Haltur, the path to dominance of the Cha Ner Ul alliance would begin" Chadha thought to himself.

All he needs is this. Once he did this, the path toward the west would be wide open.

Ultar tribe could then fight Oglan.

And with the support of Nergui tribe and his tribe, Oglan is done.

And after Oglan, the Aoshi tribe could be persuaded to join or subjugated.

The Aoshi tribe is quite mysterious tribe that settle themselves around the giant Stele that is said to be built by against during the Age of Gods

Then Ultar could take over Tare. Whichever first that is being conquered whether Aoshi or Tare does not matter

What matters is that after this conquest Ultar would cover the north western upper region of the Southern Great Steppe.

At the same time the Nergui tribe could expand to the east while he expand toward the west

Some people wanted to be Qayan. Chadha did not want to be Qayan. He had a different ambition

A simpler and more achievable goal for his tribe and himself. A goal that would protect his tribe in the long rung

He wanted to create back the kind of governance like the time of the Federation of Songnu and Sirong.

The Dhakan.

Or translated the Great Kan. In the past, there was a federation. There is lands ruled by Dhakan, each land could muster ten thousand or more men to fight.

When these Dhakan assembled together, the might of a million men could be unleashed.

This was the time during those age of great warriors and great mages that roams all over the world

They ruled together.

And each matter is decided in the Great Meeting or the Qurultai.

Chada believe that when he could create such situation, Aeryon had no choice but to stop his encroachment toward the west and he had to focus toward the East.

At that time, all the three of them had to do....is to wait.

The East had many great warriors.

This is those tribes near the eastern borders, they fight against the mountain tribe and sometime even intermarried with those mountain tribe that inhabited the mountain range of Yindu.

It is not that the tries on the East did not want to eradicate the mountain tribes it is just that these mountain tribes, each time they are about to lose, they would run higher toward the mountain

And mountainous regions, especially a mountainous region that is highly familiar to those mountain tribesmen, is a death trap for the Steppe mounted warriors.

Not to mention, the higher the Steppe people climb the mountain, the more they got weaker.

Some people called it the Curse of the Yindu mountain.

Those who are afflicted with it would have severe headache, dizziness, exhausted beyond their normal capacity.

Not to mention the thick cold mist that is biting and these are the reason why the mountain tribes even with their lack of organization, lack of strategy, could survive so long.

In the past, the mountain tribes and the Steppe people us slay fight against each other.

The mountain tribes rarely goes far from their mountains and as such, only the eastern border tribes that usually fight against them.

If the Western border tribes is harassed by the Western Zhou forces, then the eastern border tribes are harassed by the mountain people

But unlike the Western Zhou, a few hundred years ago, there were times that the mountain tribesman would come down the mountain and join the eastern border tribes.

And so, they intermarried. And it is because of this some eastern border tribes is born with great strength.

And it is also because of this, the relations between the Eastern border tribes and the mountain people is not that antagonistic and at times, they would even help each other when the interest between them aligns.

And it is because they intermarried with each other, that there is some people in the eastern border tribes that have great eyesight which is the traits of the Marynku people.

And also, the ability to climb the Yindu mountain range without being afflicted by the Curse of the mountain

The children of a Marynku and the mountain people usually birthed someone with a sturdy body and tall and hard physique.

That is an enemy that should be feared.

And if he could create the necessary condition, then Aeryon had to change his course toward the west.

He got news from someone that Aeryon seem to be very interested in Dama.

Chadha did not like being given secret message like that. Especially when he did not know who sent him the message.

It is clear that even though this news is useful to him, the fact that the message told him this, shows that other people wanted to fish in troubled waters.

So, he sent some people to investigate the matter and he found out that it was sent by the Kazan tribe towards him.

It seems the Kazan tribe also has their own plans.

When he investigated further, he found out that the Kazan chief sent all his seven sons all over the Steppe.

One in particular caught Chadha attention

One of them was sent to the Vihur tribe.

And knowing this, Cadha believe that Kazan tribe is also wary of the growing influence of the Brolgadhr tribe

Kazan is about to bring the Vihur tribe to the lower south. This would introduce more chaos. But it is not like he could stop what Kazan tribe is doing.

"There is already a trend that a great force would arise. And the forces that could rise could only do so by conquering the other tribes. You are either prey or predator"

Chadha could be a peaceful man.

But once his back is push to the corner, then he would attack with all his might

The peaceful retirement that he dreamed off....it seems that wish could not be fulfilled. Many chief when they are old has this desire to die in the battlefield.

Valgrun the chief of Khagai tribe is like this. It is the same for Durka from the Duhai tribe.

They would rather die in the battlefield than dying at their bed. But Chadha is an exception to this.

Yes, when he was young, he was quite the hellraiser. During his youth, his name is also spoken in the same breath as Valgrun and Durka.

Which means they are outstanding warriors of their time.

But unlike those two, he did not fight because he likes it.

He was not forced ofc or use, since he is the son of the chief.

But....that’s the problem.

He is the son of the chief.

Since young, he is a bright boy.

He did not know how to read words, but he knows how to read people. At that time, his uncle wanted to take his father place.

His father had to do something

But his father is not an excellent warrior, nor is he a great politician.

Even though at that time his father had great support from the Elders, if his uncle rose to power, the support of the Elders could be obtained later.

Chadha seeing all of this had no choice but to step up.

He fought so that his father did not have to fight.

And because of that he has great reputation.

But something backfire.

Because of his great reputation he was given the chief title.

He wanted to give it to his younger brother but his young brother did not think he deserve it.

And so, he had to take that mantle

And now, just like history repeating, he is doing it again.

He had no choice but to step up again. Before, he fight for his father. Now, he fight for his sons.

He sighed.

Then he looks around him. His thoughts wander away and he calms his heart back down

"All we need to do is take Haltur" he paused for a second with a smile and then he mutters

"And then everything would fall into place"
