Everyone looked at the Thane who had a touch of embarrassment. What his daughter had just said was the truth. He was indeed the poorest of all the Thanes and this had brought shame to the tribe.
In the past, he had funded incursions using his own funds and many of these incursions turned out to be a waste of resources.
"Since you are the finance overseer, what is your solution to this problem?"
One of the advisors spoke with a bit of dissatisfaction at Viciss. She simply held too much power over the finances of the tribe and some people were not too happy with this fact.
"We have two options. The first one it to cooperate with another tribe so that we can pool our resources. This way, we can share the losses and the profits.
This option would reduce our gains from the new realm but it would also mean that we would not suffer a devastating loss should the realm turn out to be a dud."
