The chief's purpose is to give the tribe a better life and allow the tribe members to live a stable life, not to lead the tribe members to death.
If Zaliki still insisted on having his own way under such circumstances, they would leave or even kill Zaliki and elect a new patriarch.
One by one, the snake people gathered around Zaliki, besieging him and denouncing him.
Zaliki's snake pupils straightened into a line, and he hissed, "Shut up! I'm still your clan leader!"
The Lord of the Undead said that he was very busy and would not have much time. What good would it be if his people continued like this? Now they had to come up with a result quickly. Whether they joined the Undead or not, there had to be a result. Quarreling would only easily arouse the anger of the Undead.
Zaliki's majesty as the chieftain was still there, and the snake people shut up again, looking at Zaliki with unfriendly eyes, waiting for him to give an explanation.
"You think I want this? Do we have any better options?"
"My fellow tribesmen, our tribe is gone. We are now refugees. We are likely to die in the wilderness. Don't you understand?"
"It's okay if you don't want to join the Undead Clan. In that case, we need to leave here, change direction, or even go back the way we came. Are you willing?"
Glancing at the snake people around him, Zaliki asked angrily.
The snake people were silent. Some of them followed the crowd, while the rest did not want to join the undead. However, they had nowhere else to go if they did not join the undead. They simply did not want to join the undead. That was a long-standing side effect of the legend.
"Then there's no need to join the Undead Clan..." a snake man muttered in a low voice.
"You all heard what the Lord of the Undead just said. He didn't force us to join. He asked us to discuss it. It's okay if we don't want to join. You have to give me a solution." Zaliki said calmly without getting angry at the words of his tribesmen.
Since their tribe was destroyed, they have become refugees. Along the way, they have lost many of their people. If this continues, sooner or later, this group of snake people will completely disappear in the wilderness, and the entire tribe will no longer exist.
The snake people looked at each other, and finally someone whispered, "If the undead are willing to take us in, then other tribes should be willing to take us in too. Otherwise, we should look for other tribes."
The other snake people thought it made sense and nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, let's go find other tribes."
Zaliki sighed and asked his people, "Which tribe should we go to? Do you know of any tribe that will take in refugees? Will they treat us well?"
This sentence reminded the snake people of the rumors about refugees in the wilderness. It was not that there were no tribes taking refugees in, but even after taking them in, the refugees' fate would not be good, and there would be no fundamental change.
Most of the tribes in the wilderness are one clan, and there are very few tribes that are united by several races. After all, the living habits of different races are different, and the refugees who are gathered are equivalent to slaves. Even if the tribesmen kill the surrendered refugees, no one will care. If the refugees resist, they will be expelled from the tribe at best, and executed at worst.
Most of the tribes that take in refugees are warlike tribes. Once the refugees surrender, they will immediately seize their resources and only let the refugees live in their tribes. Because these tribes are warlike and often go to war with others, the purpose of their taking in refugees is to use them as cannon fodder in battle.
