Way of Overlord-Chapter 334: Justification

Xayuka, this eldest son of the chief of Kazan is not as good as his brother in fighting.

And in managing the tribes, he is inferior to all of his brothers

He did not cultivate relationship with the elders or the Great Warriors that lead the tribe.

He is not loved by the warriors and is feared by the common people of Kazan.

The only reason he is not that infamous is precisely because the chief of Kazan had always manage to keep him under control.

However, when he dies, it is clear to everyone that Xayuka is not someone who could lead the tribe.

In a world of great contention, the biggest sin is incompetence.

Dama is cruel.

Probably he is even crueller than Xayuka. But no one among the Esbizuk tribe would dare challenge him or question his legitimacy

And there is no contender for this spot nor would any of the old warriors would raise a contender to fight against Dama

Why?

Because in the end, Dama is competent.

Cruel and terrifying as he is, he is competent and every one in the tribe could see that their tribe become stronger and could now control the East.

The Esbizuk tribe has never been so glorious before.

Other than stories of their ancestors in the past, for the past few hundred years, the Esbizuk was relegated to the East and could only fight against the mountain people and survive on the corner.

The trend of unification suddenly started off, and heroes rises in drove.

Dama took the sword, prove his mettle and create a great deed for his tribe and no one is not convinced.

Xayuka is none of that.

And so, none of the forces under his father is convinced.

However, they are convinced by another person.

Ayuka the Second Son.

When one of the great Warriors is punished to leave the tribe, this Great Warrior instead send a messenger to Ayuka

The message is simple

"The Time is ripe" And so Ayuka the second son, stages a coup.

Support is everywhere in the tribe and in Ayuka they see a competent chief.

Ayuka himself has many supporters among the Elders and he has cultivated relationship with Great Warriors.

Ayuka had never thought of taking the position

Then how do you explain his connection with the Great Warriors of the tribe?

But that is the thing about fate

It is truly unpredictable

Ayuka truly did not think of taking the tribe nor did he seek that seat of the chief that much.

The reason why he cultivated relationship with the Great Warriors and the Elders is simply because of self-preservation.

He knows his older brother is very cruel.

Ayuka did not covet the seat but he is not stupid.

If his brother is a kind man, then he could always serve under his brother when his brother become chief. And this is the case in many tribes.

It is not like the imperial family where father and sons kills each other, and brother kills each other

However, since young, Xayuka had always hated his other brothers. All of the brothers of Xayuka come from different mothers.

The relationship between the mothers are quite cordial but for the sons, it is very antagonistic.

Of course, in front of the tribe and in front of their father they would not show such side of them but Xayuka never hides his disdain and hatred for his other brother

Since this is the case, how could Ayuka feel secure?

He believes that one day if his father died, there would be no one that could keep the reins on Xayuka.

Ayuka had always long thought that Xayuka is a bit sick in the head.

He rages without reason and some Ashana said he is possessed by dirty blood.

There is rumours that Xayuka is actually the child that his father had with his own sister.

That is a rumour that he once heard and the Ashana probably wanted to save his head and simply said he is possessed by dirty blood.

Ayuka feel more confident of this theory when he found out that the so-called mother of Xayuka rarely shows any kind expression toward Xayuka but mostly doted on the third brother who is the second son that the first wife of his father bears for him.

However, at that time, whether his elder brother is the son of a dirty blood or not is irrelevant.

That night, the message came and Ayuka rides with his men to the settlements and stages a coup

With the support of the elders and the other Great Warriors in the tribe, Ayuka successfully stage the coup kill Xayuka.

As for his other brothers, some of them is raised to great position and some is exiled and could always returns when they do some great merit for the tribe.

Now, Ayuka holds great power in the tribe, sitting in a position he never coveted yet gained with the support of the people.

But at the same time, because of the internal matter of the tribe, the warrior that is guarding the Rudya occupied regions had to be recalled.

The coup has to be perfect and he recalled his men to attack his older brother. So, the forces in Rudya tribe was recalled, and Utgard tribe took it

When Garron the chief of Utgard heard that his old friend had died, he send his warriors to repel the few stationed warriors of Kazan and took over the entire Rudya.

He also gains the loyalty of the warriors of Kazan that used to be the first son retinue.

in that brief span of time, the Viper bites.

And when he bites, he would never let go.

The Rudya tribe was left unattended, and Utgard uses the internal problem of the Kazan tribe to suddenly took over Rudya tribe area of influence.

In just a couple of days, Utgard tribe managed to become even more powerful than ever before.

A week ago, the matter is really chaotic.

By the time the coup is finished and the internal matter of the tribe is settled, the Utgard tribe had already manage to lay their claim to all the region of Rudya.

The small tribes in Rudya region has also acknowledge Utgard tribe rule over them .

Suddenly, Utgard is no longer a small tribe but a medium sized tribe with a few thousand horsemen and he did not lack young warriors and ambitious men under him.

From the time Ayuka took over the seat of his father, Garron the Viper shows his attitude

With his actions he shows that he did not acknowledge him as the chief.

Though, Ayuka understood the complexity behind Garron not recognizing him

The Viper has always have quite the reputation of cunning and someone that is untrustworthy.

In the past when he enters the Southern Great Steppe under the help of the Ashana, he maintain a low-profile existence

At the same time, he keeps his promise. Yes, he is still cunning but he did not break promises unless he is forced to

It is not like he become righteous all of a sudden.

It is called knowing his situation.

The Utgard tribe in the Southern Great Steppe is not like the Utgard tribe in the Central Great Steppe.

He knows if he chooses to do the same thing he did in the Central Steppe, he would be crushed.

And not to mention his alliance with the Kazan make him strong.

At that time, there is no need to rock the boat when the boat is full of holes

And after the Xewa and Ghar tribe demise, it is like a dragon soaring to the sky.

The Brolgadhr tribe is not expanding upwards and so Utgard now is expanding and become stronger.

But Garron must feel that the benefit is more toward the Kazan tribe.

And that is the case.

The benefit is really more toward the Kazan tribe.

The Rudya tribe was defeated with the aid of the Kazan tribe and the land and the resources of the land should be more toward the Kazan tribe.

Then his father died.

And Garron must have seen this matter as a great way of betraying the Kazan tribe without betraying the Kazan tribe

To Ayuka it is a betrayal.

But in the eyes of the other tribes, it would not seem so.

Why?

Because Garron betrayal is justifiable and just. Because in Garron own words, he did not acknowledge the Kazan chief.

Some might even say that Garron is loyal toward the previous chief.

After all, nobody really knows about the internal problem of the Kazan tribe.

What they know is that the heir of the tribe is suddenly killed by a usurper.

They don’t know that Xayuka is not a wise leader of the tribe and they did not know that he did not win the support of the warriors of the tribe.

All they knows is that the chief dies and instead of the eldest inheriting his seat, it is the second son.

And Garron make an alliance with the Kazan tribe trusting the previous chief of the Kazan.

His action then become not only understandable but just.

Any other chief would probably also do the same.

After all, when a tribe changes it chief, no one knows whether they would honour old agreements.

But Ayuka knows Garron.

At least the Garron that his father told him always to be wary about.
