Chapter 91: This World and That World I
His vision extended beyond fields of crops and abundant vegetation.
Aeryon understood that the Steppe was not conducive to traditional farming practices like rice cultivation.
However, the soil could still support the growth of trees, albeit with greater effort and care.
Planting and nurturing trees would be a crucial part of his strategy to establish a city in this harsh environment.
While he couldn’t envision a landscape teeming with vegetation and food as in the fertile lands of Yan, Aeryon recognized that the soil of the Southern Great Steppe offered enough potential for his purposes.
He didn’t need imposing walls like those of Yan’s cities. To him, his people were the true embodiment of strength and defense.
Aeryon believed that as long as his people had the freedom to roam and traverse the Great Steppe, the concept of walls became obsolete.
He saw the world itself as his fortification, with each expansion of his tribe’s influence acting as an extension of his boundaries.
Walls were mere physical barriers, confining and limiting, whereas the vast expanse of the Steppe offered boundless possibilities and protection.
Though his words might seem enigmatic to those who didn’t share his ambitions, they carried a profound truth.
Aeryon vision encompassed a realm where his tribe’s presence, strength, and dominion formed an invisible wall.
