The world is in chaos and all those that have great ambition raise their weapons and fight for hegemony

This is an unstable element but there is a silver lining behind this unstable element

Utgard is now in chaos and if you leveraged your advantage, Utgard could be taken

Ogura action has paralyzed most of the armed forces of Utgard.

Their new territory is in chaos and warlords in the further region from the main settlement of Utgard is carving up territory among themselves.

..

"The reward is higher than the reward for the Wustkazan tribe destruction."

Aeryon look at the quest window and could not help but think that it is very strict this time. This quest is quite different than the other quest he had before.

Most of the reward is the same but he would get six thousand unit of building materials.

That is two thousand more unit from what he got from the Wustkazan quest.

As for how much of one unit it is, it seems to be determined by the system

The more the reward, the more it shows the difficulty of that quest.

Of course, this quest is generated the moment that he lost Garron. Aeryon delayed reading it until he reached his city ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

And then when he talks with Ayera, the quest description changes. It seems that as long as he did not accept the quest, the quest is subject to change depending on the circumstances.

For example, this line "It is recommended to use your wife to drum up support with the remnants that are loyal to Garron and use her to gain the support of Barbager"

Before he met Ayera, the quest did not have this description

He notices this. And unlike before where there is only one quest, this time, two more quest popped off.

He check the other quest window

Special Quest : Taking The Northern Path

You have taken Khulun, Wustkazan and the Nogai tribe has lean towards you. This shows your ambition to swallow up the North

Even though your current forces is focused on the west, as the leader of your tribe, you could always change your mind and focus on the north.

With the advantage of taking Wustkazan, you are qualified to attack the north, swallow up the north and create a great deed in the Southern Great Steppe that would be remembered for hundreds of years later.

The world did not know Nogai tribe submission toward your tribe which could change and affect the general trend of the world

a surprise attack could be coordinated to plan for the north, subdue and conquer the northern area tribes

Attack Aestan tribe and Yindir tribe and split the road toward the east to contain the Cha Ner Ul Alliance

..

Failure Condition

Your tribe is destroyed.

The North managed to force you back

Lost the support of Nogai tribe

Lost Wustkazan tribe area.

..

Special Condition

This quest could be done concurrently with other quest and would not lock other quest when it is chosen

...

Aeryon is tempted to do this quest even though he is focusing on the west right now. There is many more condition to lose. He could understand some of it.

If the north could manage to force him back, it means the north would be wary and the planning to take the north had to be re-evaluated.

Right now, the tribe north of them, is just wary of him.

But many of the chief still maintains the attitude of wait and see

However, if he attacks the north and was repel, at that time, these northern tribes would surely unite with each other

If that happens, with the west and east not settled, Aeryon would be having enemies on all sides.

He understand why the system said one of the condition for failure is the north managed to push him back

Once he is pushed back, all of the momentum of winning he had accumulated since the beginning of his campaign would be destroyed.

At that time, internal contradiction would flare up and external enemies would all want to test him.

This is also the reason why Aeryon think carefully and never mention going north before. If not for Kazan tribe untimely demise in Esbizuk tribe hands, Aeryon would never even entertained the idea of going north.

As for losing the Nogai tribe support, it would mean the collapse of his power in the north.

"It then makes sense why the system listed it as one of the reason for failure" Aeryon thought to himself

Right now, in the eyes of the tribes all over the Southern Great Steppe, he had taken Wustkazan and he shows his ambition of going north.

To many of the chiefs in the Great Steppe, they did not know that Aeryon had made an agreement with the Khagai tribe.

Some people does understand that there is dealings between the Khagai tribe and the Brolgadhr tribe but never in a million years their mind would reach to the conclusion that the Khagai tribe surrenders to Aeryon and cooperate with each other.

If this matter is found out, Aeryon believes, all the tribes in the east would convene a great meeting and appoint Dama as a confederate leader to fight against him

At that time, a united east would be able to stop him and even have the chance to ruin all of the things he had built.

The west would then also fall into chaos with the Cha Ner Ul Alliance would surely urges the other tribes in the west to attack Khagai to remove this stake that he has nailed into the west

But as long as they did not know, Aeryon real path of conquest is not seen by everyone.

All of this is because nobody thought that Valgrun, that old wolf would vassalize himself under Aeryon.

Aeryon himself even until now sometimes wonder whether he is so lucky to gain help from all sides.

He thought he had the Genghis Khan template but maybe he had the template of Liu Xiu. Wherever he goes , everyone would help him like he is a child of destiny

And because of his recent conquest toward the north, many would be confused with his true objective.

Which is not a bad effect. If Dama on the East believe he is focusing on the north, he would be at ease and would focused on developing the tribe and consolidating his already loose power

Aeryon knows that if Dama knows that most of the things that happens in the west is all the plans of Mayeux and him, Dama would risk all of his foundation to stop him.

Because anyone with half a brain would know that if Aeryon is able to control the west while at the same time controlling some part of the north, the general trend of Brolgadhr ruling the Southern Great Steppe could be considered half completed.
