Although Chief Ingi-Bor's suggestion wasn't good, it was better than nothing. Even so, many people had other opinions on the matter.
The snowy north was a land of death; everyone knew that.
It didn't make sense for them to seek life from a land of death now, of all times. Countless expeditions to explore the snowy north had always failed. The outer rims could still be reached, but any deeper was untouchable.
Anyone who had ever ventured deeper than the outer rims never returned.
"What I mentioned was only one of the reasons. We might not need to surrender to the far-northern races to survive. As long as we can find a new Celestial Water Spark to support the Infertile Plains, we can still return to this land," Chief Ingi-Bor stated.
His words finally resonated with some warriors within the longhouse.
"That's right! We just need to find a new Celestial Water Spark! Since it could be done in the past, it could be done again!"
"Are you being serious, Chief Hafregus? We have neither a Battle God nor a Shaman God, let alone one who is both. How do you propose we replicate the same feat when we are lacking? The snowy north is a land of death. Everyone knows that. I am not gambling my entire tribe's survival on a mere maybe."
"Then do you have a better idea than Chief Ingi-Bor, Chief Hor-Kuf?"
"In any case, I will not agree to Chief Ingi-Bor's idea. I would rather take my chances in the Western Jungle with my tribesmen," Chief Hor-Kuf firmly stated with stubbornness.
He would not budge on this matter.
"The Western Jungle, huh? Indeed, that is an option," Alliance Leader Hasaar-li acknowledged before shaking his head. "However, that option is not much different from the snowy north."
"If anyone could live in the Western Jungle, why would people stay in the Infertile Plains? The Golden Suanni Clan rules the fertile Western Jungle and does not look at our kind favorably. They detest the dark energy in our bodies."
"For that reason, the Golden Suannis wouldn't want to eat us. However, they would definitely kill us to prevent us from polluting their fertile land if we trespassed into their territory with so many people."
"What's the matter?" Alliance Leader Hasaar-li inquired, recognizing the young warrior as one of the High-rank Great Warriors on sentry duties.
"I-It's Chief Silvertooth! Chief Silvertooth is here, Alliance Leader!" the young High-rank Great Warrior reported.
"What!" Alliance Leader Hasaar-li exclaimed with a startled look.
At the same time, the other northern tribal chiefs also jumped to their feet in alarm, immediately reaching for their weapons, thinking war was imminent.
After all, the Chief Silvertooth's Mighty Whitewolf Tribe occupied the northernmost area of the Central Region, neighboring their Northern Region. As such, no one in the Northern Region would be surprised if the Mighty Whitewolf Tribe wanted to swallow them to bolster its chances in the battle for hegemony.
"How many warriors did he bring with him?! Did you scout their numbers and strength?" Alliance Leader Hasaar-li solemnly demanded.
However, the young High-rank Great Warrior quickly shook his head and replied, "There is no one else, Alliance Leader! Chief Silvertooth only with a single beast! Except..."
"Except what? Quickly spill it!" Chief Ingi-Bor barked.
"Except that it's a Paragon-level Golden Suanni! Chief Silvertooth came with a Paragon-level Golden Suanni, Chief Ingi-Bor! Its Paragon-level aura can't be mistaken!" the young High-rank Great Warrior stated.
Everyone's mind immediately went blank with confusion and doubts as they failed to process the situation.
If there's no mistake about the Paragon-level Golden Suanni, then was there a mistake with the person? How could the Mighty Whitewolf Tribe's Chief Silvertooth be under the company of a Golden Suanni?
"Are you sure it was the Mighty Whitewolf Tribe's Chief Silvertooth and not the Western Region's Chief Sur-Khan?"
"I'm positive! Please don't doubt my words, Alliance Leader! It's better if you see for yourself. I don't think Chief Silvertooth is here to fight."
"Alright," Alliance Leader Hasaar-li nodded with a frown before urging the western tribal chiefs to follow him out, "Let us see what Chief Silvertooth wants from us. Perhaps we will also be able to make sense of why he is in the company of Golden Suanni."
"Understood, Alliance Leader," the western tribal chiefs agreed.
