Way of Overlord-Chapter 316: Heroes of Our Time

if Bolghar tribe is successful in the raid, then Bolghar tribe could quickly take a hold of resources and people and then bow out of the conflict earlier out of time, recuperate and then begin extending their influence.

But that night, there is scout and spies from the Khagai tribe that notice the movement of these forces.

If one had to say who is paying the most attention toward the Bolghar tribe, that would be the Khagai tribe.

From the very beginning, they were reminded by the Advisor of Kan Aeryon, Mayeux that they need to pay attention to the Bolghar tribe

Not to mention there is a plan of cooperation between the two tribes to take over the West.

Khagai tribe chief has also secretly swore fealty to the young Kan believing that the young Kan could unite the tribes of the Southern Great Steppe.

So, they have been paying attention and send spies, scouts and set up surveillance post.

If Bolghar tribe rode out from the tribe at night with only a hundred people or less, maybe they would not eb able to notice it

But when you brought out around seven thousand horseman out, how could that not alert anyone.

It certainly alerted the scouts and spies of the Khagai tribe.

The messenger rode their horses at night and when the messenger arrives at the Khagai tribe it is already midnight

Even in the tired state, the messenger rush to the chief tent and nearly barged into the chief tent.

The message then was delivered quickly by the retainer of Valgrun.

Valgrun was awoken from his sleep and was about to get angry but when he heard the news, he could not help but quickly steadied himself and walk out from his tent.

He then call upon Ota.

Ota rushed from his tent to his lord tent and the order was given. Ota an elite warrior quickly call upon his men and with a laugh, he ride his horse

Even at the dark of night, he did not hesitate to raise his weapon to follow the order of his chief.

Ota is an elite warrior but an elite warrior alone is not enough to fight against a prepared forces.

Fortunately, Ota warriors himself are all elite warrior and when these elite warriors gather together, what they create is none other than an elite force.

Even when at night, a time when one would hesitate to attack, this force did not hesitate to follow Ota.

One of the abilities of the Marynku people is their ability to see more clearly at night than normal people.

It is what makes them so powerful with the bow and why their harassment at night is legendary.

But this did not mean that they see night as day.

If that were the case, then they would have won every battle at night

Even between Marynku people, there are some that is not good at looking in the night and some that are exceptionally good at it.

Ota warrior forces are composed of people who have clear eyes in the night. Only then would they be able to take this task

Ota laughed and his word is simple

"I’ll stop him for the chief" he said it and he is determined to do it

His objective is simple. He would intercept the chief of Bolghar.

If he could not do that, he would simply help the Burka tribe and prevent them from being destroyed

Valgrun himself took his horse and with a shout he goes straight toward the Bolghar main settlement.

Two can play this game. Since Bolghar wanted to take the main settlement of the Burka tribe in one night, why could he not do the same?

Valgrun felt like he was returning to his youth, his heart full of ambition and this fire that is burning in his heart make him not feel the coldness of the air in the night

"Since you take such a risky move, then you should also be prepared with the consequences of having your home taken away, Bolgharu" he thought to himself with a smile on his face

No one expected that Bolghar tribe chief would be so crazy that he would mobilize all of his warriors out

It is clear that the Bolghar chief tribe also has his own idea and he probably notice some kind of scheme

"Mayeux, you are not the only one with a clear eyes in the world. Bolgharu is also a rare hero of our time" he mutters.

Valgrun rides his horse at night and his ideas and strategy is already conveyed to his other warriors.

Tonight, they would attack Bolghar.

The best-case scenario would be to take the old nest of the Bolghar tribe.

The worst-case scenario, is they came close to the Bolghar main settlements.

From the beginning Valgrun knows even if he take on the main settlement, when the main force of Bolghar returns, the forces that he had sent had to retreat.

But this is Valgrun intention

" I am saving your ass Mayeux" he mutters to himself

To loosen an entangled knot, a clenched fist will not suffice; to settle a quarrel, rushing into the midst of the fight is not helpful

What he is doing is besieging Bolghar to save Burka.

When Valgrun heard the news he knows immediately that Bolgharu might have seen some kind of clue about the kind of strategy being pulled on him.

He might not see the full picture of Mayeux plans and he might not understand how many tribes were under the calculation of Mayeux but he knows that there must be someone planning for the west

And if someone planned for the west, whoever that person is, whoever that force is, it is clear they need to remove the nail on the west before they could make a progress

And that nail is none other than his tribe, the Bolghar tribe. Right now, the whole Southern Great Steppe is whipped in a frenzy.

With Aeryon rise, the east is now in chaos, Dama fighting for the possession of the eastern side of the Southern Great Steppe.

Toward the northeast there is the Kazan tribe that is making their move.

On the upper side Vihur tribe would also move when this much chaos begins to threaten their supremacy.

The other eastern side of the Southern Great Steppe also would not just lie down and wait to be annexed or conquered

They would make a move.

But none of this concern the west.

All of those fighting is separated into section of the Southern Great Steppe and happens in different region, fighting a different chief.

However, since Aeryon rise, he did not compete in the east nor did he expand toward the north

Even though Brolgadhr tribe attack Nurshira, it was a raiding expedition and it is not the objective of the tribe to expand toward the south

Instead, Brolgadhr tribe intention is clear

The few powers that are eyeing the west is only two forces.

There is the Cha Ner Ul alliance.

Bolgharu probably could see that the Chagai tribe attack toward Haltur tribe is Chagai tribe and the alliance intention of cutting Brolgadhr tribe expansion toward the west.

They might also be planning against the Bolghar tribe because it is the logical thing to do.

the other force is none other than the Brolgadhr tribe.

These two forces are the only one that would plot against this tribe. And if he waited until the critical moment, his tribe would die.

And so, he makes a decision.

Valgrun is sure that Bolgharu could not guess correctly who plotted him. But the fact is, it is not hard to guess which forces that is involved.

Either the Alliance of Chagai or the Brolgadhr tribe that make their intention toward the west known

Whether he makes a move or not, he would die.

If he stays as he is, when any other power from the centre region of the Southern Great Steppe had gained enough power, in the end, his tribe would be forced to surrender or destroyed in the current trend of the world

So, Bolgharu might have expected that some strategist might already see that he would move. Because between not moving and moving, any strategist could see that he would move.

Waiting to die or fighting for that sliver of chance, anyone knows what to choose.

Bolgharu himself might not have known who schemed against him but he sure knows that someone would scheme against him

Because he is the chief of the largest tribe in the western border of the Southern Great Steppe.

Whether he wanted to or not, he is in this vortex of power and ambition and he could not extricate himself from it unless he surrender from the beginning

Since he did not want to surrender he has to make a move. And since he knows he have to make a move, he has to make an unpredictable move

And what kind of unpredictable move that he could make? A lightning raid attack, quickly taking Burka, breaking all of the schemes and plot with power!

And Valgrun also had no other choice right now.

He must help Mayeux plan to work.

Helping Mayeux is helping him and his tribe and fulfilling Mayeux ambition is fulfilling his ambition
