they do not believe that we have the right to defend our surrounding lands.
I've only really skimmed this thread, but it sounds like these sprucecaps weren't really "stealing your land", they were living nearby. Even if they were living right next to your walls, you could've probably came to an agreement and have them move away or even trade. If worse comes to worse, breaking some shit and acting threatening would probably be enough to spook them away too.
You're only really digging yourself a bigger hole. Regardless of your reasons, you did kill some sprucecaps, and you're facing the consequences for it. But moving away isn't so bad, I bet you could get a village claim and wall up within 2 days if you really tried.
