Way of Overlord-Chapter 281: New Talents

"Next morning, I will go to Belarion and told him these news. That would give him more motivation to train the troops. He is beginning to become impatient"

At this Aeryon chuckles a bit and Mayeux just shakes his head.

Even though he was not close to Belarion in the past, after Aeryon began using him and Belarion, the chance to mingle with each other had also increased.

Mayeux himself wanted to know about Belarion and so they stuck a friendship.

The friendship is a bit casual and is clearly not as close as the relationship of brotherhood that Aeryon and Belarion possess, but from the encounters he had with Belarion, Mayeux knows that Belarion is the kind of person that could not stay still for long.

Belarion is the kind of person that would be in a state of unrest, the more they did not do anything vigorous.

Instead Belarion become more and more enthusiastic in his action. And that kind of enthusiasm is beginning to claim victims

And who is the victim of Belarion enthusiasm?

It is none other than his own soldiers.

Belarion could never let go his full strength when he is training with his men. After all, none of the other people born in the tribe possess innate strength.

If he did not hold back, the soldiers would die under his fist. But this in turns makes it harder for people to tire Belarion out

When Belarion was fighting the Nurshira battle, he was tired by the end of it.

It wasn’t until Aeryon read the report that he knows how large and almost limitless stamina that Belarion posses

it takes a few thousand people to make him feel tired but after that tiredness, Belarion seems to be reinvigorated and after returning to the steppe, he seems to become even more stronger.

Aeryon and Mayeux once discussed this and they believe that this is the characteristic of people who were born with innate strength.

The more they fight, the more they improve.

And nothing is better than a big battle like a war to stimulate hidden potential and reawaken certain instinct.

And that battle truly woke up Belarion instinct in fighting.

A bloodlust.

A fighting desire that could not be quenched.

Aeryon did take great concern in this because he fears that Belarion could go berserk.

There is many stories of innate strength individual who would go berserk and slaughter thousands of people

This is the reason why people with innate strength is held up in awe but also in terror.

Belarion could be said to be one of the lucky ones that he was treated humanely and was not treated as a tool of war unlike in some other tribes.

It is clear that big battle like that improve his strength even more and Aeryon suspected that Belarion knew it.

Because of that he seems to crave to want a great battle.

Belarion did come to him asking him to duel and when he is not busy he would duel Belarion

It is during these duelling that Aeryon could feel it more clearly how much Belarion has improved.

Aeryon himself has the strength of twenty-one men. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Even though before Aeryon could not defeat Belarion this time when they fight one on one, Aeryon could feel like he is fighting more than one hundred men.

Each strikes, each blow could break boulders of stone and crack the earth.

The wind would howl and the space would distort. The amount of power seem to reach an unprecedented heights

The only way to contain Belarion is to use an elite unit to tire him out and then kill him. It is either that or have someone who could match his strength to contain him from decimating the troops

It is only when meeting Belarion that Aeryon truly accepted that even though there is many mode of war that he knows from his world he knows he could not rely on all of those strategies and tactics blindly

Because there is anomaly and peculiarities like Belarion.

Sometimes, Aeryon thought of this world just like his world when the reality is this world is quite different than his world

It is not only more dangerous, it is also full of wonders, of magic, of gods and demons, of the mystic and the weird

There exist people like Belarion that could change a battlefield, a person who could fight a thousand of men alone

Belarion nearly hurt him in one of these duel and Mayeux had to interfere and reminded Belarion that Aeryon is the chief.

The implied meaning is that, you are the general of the chief. But you hurt the chief. If the chief is hurt, who will lead the tribe.

Because of that Aeryon also has an excuse not to fight with Belarion. It is not that he is afraid. It is just that even if he helps Belarion, his strength could not even satisfied Belarion increasing desire to fight and it could not quench Belarion desire to keep fighting

Every few days Belarion would go out and tries to find any bandits to clear out. Even the roaming bandits around the Brolgadhr area of influence has scattered.

Because they all knows the reputation of Belarion and they would rather not encounter such a strong and bloodlust person.

Aeryon and the others did not stop Belarion action because his action does bring a tangible good result to the tribe. Because of his enthusiasm, bandits could rarely be seen near the Brolgadhr area.

But then he got bored of that and return to the barracks and his victims expanded not only to his soldiers but to the entire military camp

He would set up a wrestling ring and would fight hundred if not thousand people a day, from morning to night to sweat himself up

And in the last few days, the military barrack did send complaint to Mayeux that Belarion keep coming to the Battle Circle to challenge the captains

The things is, if it was anyone else, nobody would care that much. After all, it so good that someone would keep the army in training like this

A good competition so good to foster some camaraderie but also some rivalry

However, the person that is fighting in the battle Circle

Belarion could not really be called a normal case

Because whoever fought Belarion, they would have a few broken bones here and there.

Mayeux himself did not know how to curb Belarion tendency.

It seems that he is not the only one that could see that Belarion is having a hard time adjusting to the sudden peace that is now enveloping the entire tribe

Aeryon and Mayeux both is thinking of this

"Belarion, huh" Aeryon could not help but sign when thinking of this sworn brother of his.

If he is demotivated, it is not something that he wanted to see. But seeing him to enthusiastic is also not something that he likes to see.

Aeryon look at Mayeux and he could tell that Mayeux face changes slightly when Belarion name was mentioned and he could not hep sigh.

It is not like he doesn’t know what happens these past few days.

"Don’t worry, Mayeux. I would tell Belarion to tone it down"

"Would he listen to you? I think it is best to send him to conquer some small tribes and brought them under our fold. What about the Fuxa tribe?"

Aeryon shakes his head and then told him about the matter of the Fuxa tribe in detail. Hearing this, Mayeux does not seem overjoyed.

"You don’t seem happy?"

"I wanted to let Belarion release some of his frustration on the Fuxa tribe. But since my Kan has already made arrangements with the Fuxa tribe, we have to change the target" Mayeux is silent for a while and then he nodded to himself before adding

"There is a few small clans near the border between our area of influence and Korun tribe. I could tell Belarion to persuade them to join. He could duel the warriors of these clan, convince them of our strength and added more people for our people."

Mayeux then added

"When spring came, we need to be ready to launch an attack. Right now, the plan is moving to according to plan but if there is some changes to the general situation, military power is needed to calm down the chaos" Aeryon nodded at this.

He clearly agrees

"I would tell this to Belarion. He would be quite happy knowing he has some people to beat up"

Then Aeryon thought of the Khagai tribe and its chief, Valgrun. Aeryon had never thought that in the Southern Great Steppe, there is someone like Valgrun that could see his position honestly and even offer him help in uniting the Southern Great Steppe

And Valgrun is very honest with him. Since he could not be the one that unite the Southern great Steppe, he would help the person who could.

Valgrun basically swear his fealty towards him. Aeryon was shocked because of this.

Khagai tribe itself is very powerful.

But that is on the surface.

Khagai tribe could not break out from the west. They need someone from the outside to release them from their captivity

Once they are released, they would be like a tiger unleashed from a cage.

And when he think of Khagai and thinking of sending someone there, his mind naturally goes to that one person.

"It is time to nurture new talents and cultivate new power" he mutters to himself.
