Chapter 203: Curtain Rises
For ages, intertribal conflicts had been the norm, driven by the struggle for resources, especially in the face of harsher weather conditions in recent years.
However, the conquest of Nurshira offered a new perspective, a novel avenue to attain wealth without escalating intertribal feuds.
Raiding and pillaging had long been a part of their way of life, but the idea of targeting Yan cities had been largely considered beyond reach.
The victory of Aeryon and his counterparts shattered this notion, opening their eyes to the possibility of raiding Yan cities, previously deemed impervious.
The Yan Empire, with its perceived invincibility, had been a distant but untouchable entity.
The success of the four chiefs demonstrated that it was indeed possible to challenge and conquer these cities, offering a tantalizing opportunity for the tribes to secure substantial riches without provoking deadly feuds among themselves.
The realization dawned that if Aeryon and his tribes could achieve such a feat, why couldn’t they?
The tribes possessed unparalleled horsemanship and agility, enabling swift raids and quick retreats.
The allure of targeting Yan cities for their resources and riches began to captivate the minds of the tribes, planting seeds of ambition and possibility in the once-unimaginable prospect of raiding the formidable Yan Empire.
Like Aeryon had predicted, his victory would embolden the people of the Great Steppe to ride south and attack Yan.
It could also be a way for the chief to handle internal problem by focusing outward problem.
