Chapitre 776: Volume 23: Rising Winds and Swirling Clouds, Chapter 13: Undercurrent

The continuous allegiance of more than a dozen Mountain Tribes to the Caucasus has still caused a stir. Although Komer intentionally kept a low profile, it was clear that such a move could not fail to have a significant impact on the surrounding areas, especially toward the Cordillera Wilderness and the Homer region.

The reaction from Homer had no impact on Komer, as he never intended to lessen the pressure on Homer. However, for the Sanjia Tribe, which had always maintained a cooperative attitude with the Caucasus, this was a test. As interactions with the Caucasus became more frequent, even people like Dvanch realized that the Sanjia Tribe was gradually being tightly bound to the Caucasus. The substantial flow of goods and trade made the Sanjia Tribe increasingly dependent on the Caucasus as a supply channel, and they even unintentionally became a transit point for delivering supplies to other tribes deep within the Cordillera Wilderness.
