Intense Battle

The Great Steppe is harsh, winds and storms accompanied these people.

The harsh environment created harsh people.

Their language is harsh and their manner are also harsh

When the people of the settled, a term the people of the Great Steppe refer to the people like Yan people who lives farming and stay at the same place for a long time, met with the people of the Great Steppe, they called the people of great steppe harsh and brash.

And the people of the Great Steppe called these people weak and soft.

The people of the wind and the people of the land. The people of the land stay on their land, establishing roots

And the people of the wind flies where the wind brings them, having no roots

When these two kinds of people met with each other, how could they not clash? Lack of understand, lack of desire to want to understand…. hence words are not enough

And what happens when words could not convey understanding or bridge relationship? In a world as dangerous as this world, when words and mouth are not enough, then one uses fist and weapons

The wind blows harshly today.

The people of the Brolgadhr tribe sit and dances around circles. They laughed and they smile. For too long they have been deprived of victory.

But today, a news came from Mayeux.

Their chief defeated hundreds of men, forces the Xewa tribe to retreat, a temporary alliance was forged.

In just a few days since returning to the Great Steppe, their chief has surprised them and some even have the hope that their tribe could become stronger

This is the simple thoughts of the tribes of the Great Steppe.

To eat at morning and to have a full bely at night. This is the hardest thing in the Great Steppe and so they fought for it

But the people of The Great Steppe also would die for something like honour and reputations.

However, the people below, those who are born low, only wanted to eat and survive and whoever gave them that, they would be loyal to the end.

Mayeux look at the people of his tribe and then he waves his hand to his tribe and then ride toward the distance.

At the same time, in the Ghar tribe a great battle is commencing. On one side is Garron and his men breaking the defence line and wreaking havoc all over the Ghar tribe.

On another side, there is Belarion. Belarion paid the trust that has been given to him by Aeryon.

He led his men tearing through Ghar tribe defensive line like a tiger tearing through a group of sheep.

Belarion might not be a smart person.

But what he has is an instinctive reaction to battle. There is many strategists and commander of war in this world and there is many kinds. There are those who plans from afar

There is people who plans before they attack and follow that plan. And then there is Belarion. When he is in the battlefield, it was like he is blessed by the God of War.

He intuitively know where to attack and where to defend. He is the kind of general who rely on his instinct in battle to lead a war.

An instinctual commander of war.

Belarion in the tribe of Brolgadhr is warmly regarded as a big brother figure. He is tall and stronger than anyone his age. He protects the young and respect the old.

Because of that, people thought of him as a big oaf. He would follow behind Aeryon when he was little, participating in any ruckus that his sworn brother had conspired to do.

Whether it be hunting a condor, or racing through the plains with his horse, Belarion is considered to be a little bit stupid.

And it is the same image that the warriors of the Brolgadhr tribe had of him. But now…..now they feel fear. They feel awe

It is said that those who were born with innate strength had their own charm and their own specialness.

And today, they see it. Belarion, that almost harmless oaf, that big brother figure that always smiles, right now is a fierce warrior.

Belarion rarely fight when he was in the tribe. This is because everybody was smart enough not to provoke such a big oaf.

But, this is the instinct of battle. This might be Belarion innate ability. Instinct. He is crushing the Ghar tribe warriors and he laughed while fighting.

'Come!' he yelled as he uses spears of his fallen enemies to slit people throat, to stab people heart and uses his hand and his kicks to tip horses and people.

The one leading men against Belarion is Ogrash. Ogrash is a battle-hardened warrior. Belarion rushed to the front, killing dozens of people and then BAM!

'Hahaha! Are you Ogrash!' Belarion shouted.

His shout drowns the screams of others. Ogrash look at this person, a hulking figure. At least for a glimpse of a second that is how Belarion appears in his eyes.

'Belarion of Brolgadhr!' Ogrash never had seen Belarion before. But he knows that there is someone born with innate strength in the Brolgadhr tribe.

Rakarys loved this child very much that he raise him as his own son, and push him away from the battlefield, hoping that he would not be used to fight battles.

Love of a father that led to his death. In any other tribe, they would use Belarion and trained him since he was young so that he would be a great warrior for the tribe.

Ogrash once suggested to his chief to try to recruit Belarion to the tribe. He did not think that today he would meet Belarion.

One look and one feeling in his heart and he decide that this person that break through the line alone, tearing through the formation like it is paper meeting knife, this must be Belarion.

Belarion laughed and nodded.

'Fight!' he shouted and Ogrash also did not say many words. He raises his spear and both of them clashed with each other

With one clash, Ogrash spear broke.

'Wai-!' before he could finish saying anything, Belarion swipes his spear horizontally and Ogrash head flew away from his neck

Neigh!

His horse rushes forward bringing his headless oner forward.

And after a few second, the body falls down to the ground, trampled by the horse warriors, the meat of his flesh melded with the grass and the soil, leaving nothing but splashed and battered meat, resembling nothing of the body of a person.

The forces led by Ogrash was stunned and shocked.

Belarion laughed, as he stab his spear to the decapitated head and then he raises the head high up into the sky. The head was pierced in the middle of the skull, at the tip of the spear

Belarion took a deep breath and then he shouted

'I, Belarion, had taken the life of Ogrash!'

HOO!

ROAR!

The morale of Garron and Aeryon forces soar to the sky. And the morale of the Ghar tribe plummeted.

Otuken who was farther away heard the shout and his face fell almost immediately

'How is it possible? Ogrash!' Ogrash is his chief warrior. He never expected that his commander would die so quickly

'Belarion!' he shouted with gritted teeth. He only hate that he is being entangled by Waqu forces.

Waqu is also quite famous in the Great Steppe of the South

But not because he is good at fighting or good at commanding men. He is famous because he is sworn brothers with the Viper.

However just because he is not famous in commanding men or fighting does not mean that he doesn't know how to lead men or fight battle.

Right now, he is entangling Otuken, holding him and trapping him in one place while the other forces of Garron and Aeryon pick them one by one.

Not far away from his position is his wife, Zaufishan that is trying to fight her way to her husband.

But it is not easy. Zaufishan is strong but how could he compare with hundreds of men fighting to keep her boxed in one position.

She has to break the encirclement first before she could come to the aid of her husband.

Ogrash had died and the morale also plummeted.

Belarion is now killing without reserve and with his ability to avoid danger and capitalize any open gap, he is now showing his talent

On another side, facing two hundred men is Aeryon and his fifty men. Aeryon is fighting Chanai forces, the son of Otuken

Aeryon launches a surprise attack and separated the son and father forces. Hence, they were separated and easier to handle.

Aeryon was not afraid even if they united against each other. But, what he wanted is to quickly solve this problem

Solve this battle. It is better to let them be separated. And let the other allied forces to take care of Otuken and cut down their numbers

If he could his time and not do things, why would he do it

'Is this all you can do? Coward!'

Aeryon is basically mocking Chanai, wanting him to go out from the protection of his men and duel him.

But everyone had seen how powerful Aeryon really is and after knowing that how would they dare to meet him in battle like that?

Even though Aeryon insulted Chanai, and Chanai is angry, he tries to keep a calm head

He would not jump to his own death
