Way of Overlord-Chapter 650: Elite Army

Most innate warriors under a tribe are usually viewed with fear and suspicion.

is because these innate warriors are a killing machine.

But they could also go crazy.

Some innate warriors when they are in a bloodlust could not differentiate between enemy and allies.

The fact was that most treated the innate strength being like a fearsome monster. So, most tribe would choose to leash this monster.

Some treated them well like a person fearing a tiger, some treated them like animals.

But the thing is, a tiger is a tiger. Even if you give them food every day, this tiger knows that the one giving him food is afraid of it and one day would dispose of it

So, this tiger would eat the one giving them food when it is time.

As for the people that thwarted this innate strength being like an animal, their fate is even worse.

You treated them like animals, beat them, torture tehri minds and their bodies and they have no choice to listen to you when they are just a tiger cub

When they have developed their claws and their fangs is sharp, the retribution is even worse.

There isa case where an innate strength being decimated an entire large tribe.

The end result was that the innate strength warrior dies but before he died he brought ten thousand men, woman and child of that tribe with him to death

So, for the people of the Steppe, any person who is born with innate strength is treated with a kind of fear, unable to truly feel the feeling of being in a community, being loved or having affection

They are a ...A killing machine.

Hence, most innate strength warrior are wandering warriors. Some of them would find employment under a chief and if they no longer wanted to work for the chief, the chief would simply send them away with gifts.

They are like a mercenary only that they don’t have a band of men around them since they alone represent military force

But Belarion.... this one is different.

From when he was a child, even though everyone knows he is an innate strength being, he was not treated differently

Of course, in the beginning the elders and the people of Brolgadhr feared this child. But Rakarys treated Belarion like his son.

And Aeryon who is the son of the chief only have Belarion as his playmate.

This is Rakarys making these two to form bonds and unlike other chief who treated their innate strongest person like a machine to fight and kill for the tribe, Rakarys had never let Belarion fight in the battlefield.

The attitude of the chief affects the attitude of the tribesman. In the eyes of the tribesman, since Belarion lived with the chief and could play peacefully with the chief son how could such a person be a violent being like it is mentioned in the story.

So, the tribesmen children also play along with Belarion and the more they interacted, the more the prejudice disappeared

Other than his strength, Belarion is a gentle kind child. He would help the people of the tribes when it is time for harvest and hunting and would hell milk the goats.

He was loved by the tribe and in turn he loved the tribe.

And unlike some of the innate strength warrior, there has never been a case where Belarion bloodlust made him unable to distinguish between foe and allies.

And so, today, after long years of never showing any potential for power, when the sword is unsheathed, the gleam and light of the sword shone all over the Steppe!

From the moment Belarion shows the sharpness of his sword, it is destined to shook the Steppe!

If he were just another innate strength being in the Steppe, after a few decades he would be worn in battle, either betrayed or abandoned by the chiefs or become a bloodlust monster seeking only battle

But because he was born the Brolgadhr and the circumstances of his birth and his growth is different, Belarion would surely carve a new path

Behind him stood his brother. Beside him stood his ten thousand men, ten thousand riders that would move and shakes the Steppe with just one order from his mouth

Where pointed, his cavalry would shake and trample!

Where he pointed, the cavalry of gods would become a scourge for the enemy of the Brolgadhr tribe

Belarion is unstoppable, his army is like armoured gods, for miles, they are invincible!

This battle is a battle that he could not lose!

Khunbish is one of the commanders of the Nergui tribe.

Their organization is unlike the Brolgadhr tribe.

But they also have their own way, their own method

And this method clearly works for them for a long time. After all, Nergui occupied this region for a long time.

Khunbish for example have his own men who is loyal to him.

And it is not like the Nergui tribe has been standing still.

When the new wind of change swept the Steppe and Dama follow the change, reforming his military, the Nergui tribe and the others also have been trying to reform

Nergui tribe itself has been trying to reform the organization and hierarchy of the army after seeing the how it works for Brolgadhr tribe. But even so, they did not have the kid of resources that Aeryon and the Brolgadhr tribe posses

Not to mention, Nergui tribe reform is not easily implemented.

After all, Nergui tribe is full of many interest. The more interest there is inside a group, the harder it is to change it and reform it

Because any reform inevitably would touch upon the core interest of the old guard, of the old rules.

Brolgadhr could do it, because there is no old guard. And they were small from the very beginning.

The group interest was not many.

And Aeryon choose at that moment to reform the tribe.

He succeeded precisely because of this.

And Nergui failed precisely because the situation they are facing is different from what the Khan had faced.

Khunbish had sent his men to fight from his tent. He ordered them to try to help the Great General.

He sent one hundred men, and it is easily broken by the heavy cavalry of the Brolgadhr forces

When Khunbish heard the report from the frontline he could not help but sigh.

"The Brolgadhr tribe is too strong"

this is Khunbish assessment.

Unlike before, he did not rush forward, nor did he join the front line.

He could only give orders.

"If..." and he sighed. He wanted to say if he could have retreated earlier and conserve the strength of his raiding party, then he could be more active this time.

But there is no what if in life.

And Khunbish hated to think about what if scenario the most.

Breaking through the encirclement just a few hours earlier had already sapped his strength and he is still tired.

He looks at the battlefield in the distance, and he could not help but sighed.

"We need to at lats hold until dawn and try to break through. As long as we could make them realize we would not fall with one push, this battle could be fought. If we could not even hold until dawn, then the entire eastern region of Nergui territory would be an open field without obstruction for the Brolgadhr tribe"

Khunbish thought in his heart. But he dares not say it loudly.

Because saying such thing to his army and his soldiers could be interpreted as lowering the morale of the army

He could not do that and must not do that.

Right now, the rear did not yet know what is happening in front.

If they know the front is nearly destroyed by Belarion alone, how could the Great General convince these people to fight

So, he could only sigh and observe the battlefield

Even with his eyes, he could not see everything that is happening.

But what he sees is enough

Supplemented with the report, he could guess and imagine what is happening at the front right now

"Belarion chooses the most perfect time. Everyone in the tribe lowered down their guards. Because no one expected that Belarion would attack just after they are being raided. And no one expected him to stull attack in the night"

It is logical. After all, the Brolgadhr tribe is not the Nergui tribe. They could not see as clearly at night as the Nergui tribe.

So, it only is logical to assume that just like any other tribe, Belarion would attack in the dawn when the sun begins showing its face

Khunbish, the Great general, the commander of the army all thought so. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

And it is because of this, that the ranks of the army is so disorganized.

Even though Brolgadhr army could not see as clearly as the Nergui tribe, this surprise attack had demoralized the Nergui army to a point that it dissolve all the advantages of the Nergui army

Once it is in chaos, then the Brolgadhr army simply need to press their advantage.

A swift attack, precise and brutal, the very same method the Khan had used to his advantage.

What they are facing now, is not a normal tribe. But a trained army adapted to unexpected tactics

This is an elite army rare in the Steppe.
