Queen knew clearly in her heart that such days couldn't continue; otherwise, what awaited them was only extinction.
Were there few tribes that disappeared silently every year? She really didn't hope for such a day to happen, but couldn't think of any way.
Luci and Thomas's words surprised her - Snow Wolves actually living with Dwarves, letting a cub be the chief, and this year even learning from the Ox-Head tribe to start farming. This meant pouring most of the tribesmen's strength into the fields.
Once unsuccessful, without food reserves this winter, the Hadu tribe basically couldn't survive.
This was exactly the reason she hesitated.
Last winter, because the tribe had no surplus goods to exchange for food, Queen didn't go to the Red Grass tribe and didn't meet Thomas and the others.
