The serpentfolk's situation meant they couldn't be treated like an ordinary primitive tribe.
Their problem was simply that they were poor at developing their abilities. Their combat strength, however, was anything but weak.
Take these two low-level serpentfolk alone. Their individual physical prowess was enough to go toe-to-toe with elite human soldiers.
Following that line of thought, an entire serpentfolk tribe was basically equivalent to an army made up entirely of elite fighters.
With that as the premise, they certainly wouldn't be lacking high-end combat strength either.
