Candos, an ordinary place name, an inconspicuous place.

In the center of the village is a huge tree, rumored to have been transformed into a towering tree after the death of the first elder of the clan, surrounded by many tall trees and a sea of grass that can not be seen at a glance. Thanks to the fertile soil and abundant water resources on the shores of the lake, there are about 100,000 people living here.

In terms of population size, this is a city at all.

It's just that on the Green Star, the Dumen never engage in construction, and there are no buildings that should be in the city, and the Dumen all rely on the abundant resources given by nature to live a self-sufficient life. In fact, the average solo person spends most of their lives in vegetative form, especially women. If there is no natural disaster, it will only leave the soil where it has taken root when it is time to reproduce. Of course, the crust of Green Star is very stable, geological disasters rarely occur, and the environment is very comfortable, and the rate of natural disasters is even lower. For thousands of years, for the vast majority of the Independents, there was nothing that could keep them out of their roots, except to thrive.

Only now, Candos is not at all calm.

The elders of the clan gave a rallying signal, and the male members of the clan were arriving from all directions, and the female members were waking up from their slumber.

Because there are not only Dumen on the Green Star, but also many wild beasts, and the Dumen can only obtain water from the earth, and then obtain the energy needed for survival through photosynthesis, but they cannot obtain other necessary trace elements, and without trace elements, they cannot reproduce offspring, nor can they improve their IQ, so the Dumen need to expand their food sources through hunting, from which they can obtain trace elements that are very valuable even on the Green Star.

According to the traditions of the Duclan. Hunting is a male duty.

It is precisely because even in normal times that most men are active outside the home, responsible for providing food for their mates and thus reproducing their offspring. Comparatively, women's lives are much less stressful. Most women spend their entire lives reproducing offspring. That is, it gives birth to fruit in the form of a plant.

Because they take on the main labor, their metabolism is faster, so among ordinary solo people, men are short-lived. Only an elder like Mendozo would be able to gain a long lifespan through the Primal Converter, and without the Primordial Converter, the lifespan of a male monophyllor would only be about a hundred years. Comparatively speaking, women live much longer, and some healthy women live for more than a thousand years.

Of course. There are two sides to everything.

Although the life expectancy of male solo men is not long because of long-term labor, high-intensity work, especially fighting wild beasts, makes male solo men have a stronger physique. In fact, the main criterion for choosing a mate for a female family is to see whether the other party has the ability to support herself. In this way, only strong enough. Men who are able to hunt enough food can find a mate.

Moreover, in the fight against the beast. Male loners are also more belligerent.

It is precisely for this reason that, although women are the dominant among the individual ethnic groups, especially the eldest, the "old grandmother", who have great prestige, the elders of all ethnic groups are men. Because only men can defend the community, protect the whole community.

This ethnic group, also known as "Candos".

In fact, the place names on the green star are almost all named after the ethnic group, and the name of the ethnic group. From the first elder who founded the group.

As long as there is a strong enough vitality, as long as it can reproduce enough offspring, it can create a race.

Thousands of years ago, when the Solitary came to Green Star, it was still a barren planet, with no intelligent creatures except plants and numerous beasts. Because of the unique natural environment, at that time, people with a little ability were able to create their own races. In fact, all ethnic groups date back more than 3,000 years and share the same ancestor.

That was, of course, thousands of years ago.

With the expansion of the scale of the Dumen, the Green Star has long been overcrowded. Because there is not enough space, it is almost impossible to create a new group.

The elders of the Candos tribe are also called Kandos, but they are not related to the first Kandos.

Under the big tree in the center, Candos faced Mendozo and the other ten elders. It was the arrival of Mendozo and other elders that broke the tranquility here.

It took some time for Mendozzo to get Candos to understand what was going on outside.

Although the Dumen also have a language, the way of communication of the Dumen is very special, or the language of the Dumen is very special, that is, the meaning is expressed directly, without too many decorative elements. To put it simply, the Duyi people mainly rely on spiritual communication, and language is only an auxiliary tool.

The communication style of the individual is more direct, but efficiency is an issue.

A simple thing that can be explained clearly in one sentence can be spent by a single person for most of the day, and it may not be able to explain it clearly.

Of course, in the past, this was not a big deal.

Don't forget, most of the time, solo people don't have anything to do, so they don't care so much about time.

Only now, communication efficiency is clearly an issue.

"Elder Candos, I hope you understand that we have no choice." Mendozo was visibly impatient, and said in the lingua franca of the Galactic Alliance, "The enemy has landed on Green Star, established landing grounds, and trained millions of warriors. If we do nothing, even if we don't do our best, the enemy will take over the entire Green Star in a short period of time, destroy the environment of the Green Star, and destroy the homes of the Unique Sect. ”

Mendozzo was anxious, but Candos was indifferent.

"Now, you have to make a decision." probably knew that no matter how much he said, it was nonsense, and Mendozo didn't ramble anymore. "Green Star is the home of all unique people, and it is the only home. Although Candos has not yet been invaded and your people are not threatened by war, the people of Candos must contribute to the defense of their homeland. Grand Elder Curtis had already ordered all races to mobilize for war. ”

"So, where is the Great Elder?" Candos finally spoke.

Mendozo was slightly stunned and said, "Elder Candos, do you doubt the order of the Great Elder?" ”

"Of course not, I just want to know, since the enemy has landed on the Green Star, and all the Solo Sects have to contribute to the defense of their homeland, where is the Great Elder?"

"The Great Elder is doing something very important, if ......"

"What's the matter?"

Mendozo gritted his teeth and said, "Elder Candos, if you want to know what the Great Elder is doing, after you order the mobilization and let your adult male solitudes join the legion, I will take you to the Great Elder and let the Great Elder tell you personally. ”

"Really?"

"Elder Candos, I have always respected you, and I believe that you will put the big picture in mind and make the right decisions at critical moments, and now is the ......"

"If Candos is threatened, I will mobilize all the male members and let them take up arms to defend their homeland." Candos looked Mendozzo up and down, and said, "Only now, Candos is not threatened. You told me to mobilize the men of Candos to take up arms and fight an enemy they had never seen before, and I couldn't do it unless Curtis came to me and told me personally. ”

Mendozzo was speechless and helpless.

Although he was very unhappy, Mendozo knew that this was his own person.

In fact, Candos is not a special case, but represents all unique people, to put it bluntly, it is the attitude of "nothing to do with yourself".

That's all that has been said, and it's useless to go on.

Mendozzo didn't bother with Candos anymore, got up to take his leave, and left with the other elders.

Of course, Mendoso was well aware that Candos was not unaware of the situation, but he just didn't want to get involved in the battle too early, or to be precise, he didn't want to hand over the male members of the Candos community to the Presbyterian Church.

In fact, after Mendozo and their arrival, Candos issued an assembly order.

Just as Mendozo and the others were leaving, the male members of the Candos tribe were returning. Although there was no mobilization order from Kandos, and the Candos community did not have enough weapons to arm all the male members, the threat of the enemy was real and no one could deny it. Even if Candos didn't want to go into battle so quickly, he wouldn't let that stop. It's good that he's willing to give the order to assemble.

Seeing Yang Yi, Mendozo did not hide it and told the results of the negotiations with Candos.

"Obviously, he already feels threatened and just doesn't want to send troops into battle for the time being. To put it simply, he still has a glimmer of illusion. Mendozo pursed his lips and added, "Not only for the outcome of this war, but also for the enemy. Perhaps, in his opinion, the threat from the Silicon Alliance is not as serious as I said. This is also understandable, after all, Green Star has never been invaded by the Silicon Charm Alliance. ”

Yang Yi sighed secretly and didn't say anything.

Because he was a human being, and the relationship between the Dumen and the Human Federation was not very good, so under Mendozo's persuasion, Yang Yi did not go with him to see Kandos.

In fact, this result has long been expected by Yang Yi.

According to Mendozo, the elders of any race can know what is happening in any corner of Green Star through the forests that dot Green Star, the trees that are intertwined. Even if Candos was far from the battlefield, Elder Candos was sure to know about the battle that was taking place on the other side of the landing field. In fact, as long as he knew what the landing field was like now, Elder Candos had no reason to refuse to join the war.

As Mendozo said, he only had a glimmer of illusion about the enemy.

"What now?"

"Be patient." Yang Yi glanced at Mendozo and said, "Whether you want to participate in the war or not, whether you will be involved in this war or not, is not up to Kandos to decide." ”

Mendozo sighed to himself and didn't say much. Now there is nothing else to do but wait patiently. (To be continued......)
