There was silence as even the first tribe Chieftain did not expect such a response. This was the sixth tribe practically saying they are willing to throw their all into this fight and now they are asking if the first tribe is willing to suffer losses just to fight them.

Sol understood this concept and understood it well. Not all fights must be won and that is something people fail to understand. When a bully sees a weak child it's only natural for the bully to keep picking on him or her but the moment the weak child decides to fight back fiercely, even if he or she loses, the bully will be far more hesitant to make a move on him or her since he would consider if the damages he will sustain by doing this is worth the act in the first place.
