The whale tribesmen standing behind Selerc became furious instantly. But none of them moved, instruction had already been passed on to not move harshly in this meeting.
Airell and Neiren, the son of Selerc, sported dark looks. Selerc himself looked gloomy hearing the words spoken by Zick.
'To work for me? More like come become my slaves.' Selerc scoffed in his mind.
Zick continued speaking, closely looking at their expression: "I don't need all your tribesmen to work for me, and neither will I try to change or stick my nose in their lives. What I want is only the strong, your soldier to follow my orders."
There was no need to spell out what would happen if the whale tribesmen rejected Zick's offer.
A feeling of helplessness and shame rose within Selerc. He was a prideful man, but he wasn't an idiot either. If he made a decision based on personal emotions, that would be just plain foolishness.
