Way of Overlord-Chapter 510: Justice Always Wins

Why does old people lost their edge?

Because when they reached the age of knowing their destiny, the knife inside their heart has long rusted. Some could still drew that knife to cut through a path, but most old men have a knife that have long been rusted and covered with dust and could no longer be drawn

Set in their ways, they have calmed down.

What they could offer is different from what the young could offer and what the young have they also know. After all, who has not been young before?

Attacking the west, infiltrate the north, hold back the east and always vigilant toward the south.

All four corners of the tribe, Aeryon have an interest.

This is not the action of a tribe leader that is content with the achievement he had already achieved.

Even now, if Aeryon no longer wanted to expand, his prestige could not be contested.

In the history of the Brolgadhr tribe, the only time they were this proud was during the Old Empire of the Steppe

Aeryon brought these young people of his tribe and even the old to relive a golden age that has only been told in fire place gathering.

Some of the tribesmen’s even think that the story of old ages deeds are nothing but just a story to exalt their tribe.

It never felt real because before Aeryon, Brolgadhr tribe has been declining since the fall of the Old Empire of the Steppe.

Their generation, the previous generation and even the generation before that has never tasted the glory, the pride and the prestige of their forefathers.

Only in stories and songs could they learn about those far away deeds.

But Aeryon came, defeated all against him, carved a great kingdom of the Steppe in the lower south and now have the momentum to control the west and finally to gain great achievement of conquering the whole Southern Great Steppe and reach the level of Qayan in the ancient times

Even if Aeryon die today, his deeds and his achievement would always be sung in the fire place

There might even be altars and statue made for him and a hundred years from now, the warriors of Brolgadhr would use his name to rally the people of this tribe.

That is how impactful his achievement is. Even if he stopped, no one would feel that it is wrong.

After all, in other tribes, any other chief that have achieved what he had done, is already considered great.

Even if he wanted to enjoy himself and just defend the tribe and did not expand anymore, the tribe would not be in danger

After all, Which tribe on the four corners of the Brolgadhr could threaten Aeryon and the Brolgadhr tribe if they are determined to defend?

No one.

Because once Aeryon extinguish his ambition, the other tribes would not hold alliance or confederations to unite against Brolgadhr.

The Cha Ner Ul alliance, isn’t that an alliance created to protect the west from the encroaching power of the Brolgadhr?

And when Aeryon reach the north, those tribe would surely unite with each other.

But if Aeryon stopped now and enjoy himself, then the other chief would also relaxed and after a few years, they would let down their guards.

Aeryon could be like Vihur tribe in the north, having many tributaries tribe and a great and powerful clan in the lower south.

After that, those tribe alliances and confederation would surely fall apart and they would fight among themselves.

Aeryon could clearly wait and do such method.

But whether it is Aeryon or Mayeux these two people that holds all the power in this tribe never seem to consider that option

Maybe they did but they did not want to wait. Ayera, after all, is not included in the planning of these wars and battles.

Even Ayera knows that. Aeryon could live a life full of pleasure. But no, he never stopped. Never stopped attacking and never stopped planning.

Even if he could slow down, he did not.

Like he was chased by something.

This is why Ayera believe that Aeryon has too big of an ambition.

Maybe bigger than what she thought.

At first, Ayera thought that her husband wanted to create a powerful tribe in the lower south.

But then, even after achieving that, he did not stop instead, he focused on the west, and create alliance with her father.

Then when the west is now pacified by the Khagai tribe, a tribe which in Ayera investigation shows that the chief of the Khagai seems to have reached some kind of agreement with her husband

There must be something fishy about it. Because Aeryon even sent his trusted commander to help with the West

Then Aeryon attack Wustkazan.

And his obsession with Yan

How could she not know that her husband might have some plans for Yan?

And what plan that is? Ayera could guess. It is surely to swallow the Yan lands.

This would be like a mouse trying to swallow an elephant.

How could they the Steppe people would be able to swallow the entire Yan lands? Ayera did not know how her husband could be so bold that it even reached this point of insanity.

Ayera did not have the knowledge that Aeryon have. In Aeryon world, in his world history, the first time is always the hardest

Once it is done, then it would open a floodgate

In his world, there is also an empire like Yan.

China. Specifically, after the Jin dynasty. But even before then, the rise of the Steppe people and the barbarians could not be stopped.

Blood was spilled by the Han people and blood would bring more blood. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Everything has cause and effect. It is the same in this world and it is the same in that world. Everything that comes around will come around.

Before the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Han people called the barbarians dogs and the treatment they gave to ethnic minorities was the worst there is

From castration to torture, to beating and killings, ethnic minorities always suffers in any dynasty of Han people.

They are made scapegoat when they are they and in war, they were the first to be dispensable.

The Han people treated them less than humans

Europeans at that time was also very cruel.

But Han people cruelty is that they did the deed and whitewashed it and any torture or exploitation of the Hu people is washed away by a pen or not even written in their many Annals of history.

It is not saying that Europeans and other nations did not whitewashed their own history. But if there is one that is very adept at it, it was those old dynasties.

Every dynasties that fall have reason for falling and each fall should be celebrated. For everything have cause and effect

From the ashes, sometimes, there is salvations and sometimes there is even more suffering

The barbarians attacked.

And their cruelty is described clearly to their peasants and scholar families

But who would tell the story of the herders in the mountains that lost their parents by the swords and spears of Han people, who would tell the story of the sheepherders in the vast plains of Mongolia who lost his tribe, slaughtered by the Han people?

Who would hear the cries and scream of children below the roof of the world, who would mourn their brothers and sisters?

Who would hear tell their stories when the Han people raped, killed and destroy their people, their tribes and their culture?

It is the same in that world and it is the same in this world.

The Yan erase the culture of the people they conquered.

And the people of the Steppe resist that.

When there is oppression, there would always be resistance

Of course, history is written by the victors.

And there is good and evil in stories. There is one side representing justice and the other side representing injustice.

And justice always wins

Because whoever wins, become justice.

This is history.

What is history but a set of lies agreed upon. The world of now should be shaped by the now and glory of the past does not mean that the glory belong to the people of now

And history looks too kindly sometimes.

And sometimes mispresented many things.

In books of history, the victors become justice and the loser become evil.

But real history has always been nuanced. It is anything but simple.

The Han people only saw the Chaos of the Five Barbarians. But they did not see the cause and effect of why that chaos happened.

The minorities there lives terrible lives and the Han rulers has always lied to them and has never been honest with the five largest tribes in China at that time

How could then, these five tribes, which is called Wu Hu or five barbarians by the Han people has any goodwill to Han people.

Even before Aeryon was transported to this world, the exploitation and manipulation of ethnic minorities is still a problem in that country.

Racism is their weapon and their shield.

They use racism to nurture the us vs them mentality which is conducive in a government that really needs its people to look at the world as the enemy and not their rulers as the enemy.

And in that world, during the past it is even worse during the Han dynasty and it continued in Wei dynasty.
