When she was an apprentice mage, her teacher told her that in order to be a good mage, she had to learn to control her feelings. Prodmore gripped his wand tightly.

"I don't believe you'd do that." Chen Feng's anger did not subside, he usually did not speak as recklessly as the proto-insect body, which may have something to do with the fact that he was raised by humanoids, "However, it seems that your subordinates don't care about our alliance as much as you do. ”

Prodmore said sternly: "Chen Feng, what do you mean by this? ”

"One of our merchant ships, the Ogat, has been attacked by pirates."

Proudmore frowned. Despite their efforts, piracy is still rampant. "We've added cruisers, but—"

"If the cruiser is just to look around, then it is not much use to add it. The Ogatt saw that one of your cruisers was nearby, and quite close. But they didn't come to Captain Bolick's aid and his crew. Bolick also blows the fog trumpet, and your men ignore it. ”

Prodmore was surprisingly calm: "You said your crew saw our cruiser. But that doesn't mean they see you. ”

Chen Feng was speechless.

Prodmore went on to say, "Humanoids don't have as much eyesight as protozoans. They probably took the fog horn as a signal to them to give way. ”

"But they were so close to the Ogat, if they couldn't see it, they should hear it! Our eyesight is better than yours, but we're not sneaking into war. I am in no way convinced, your cruiser did not hear the sound of fighting. ”

"Chen Feng—"

The protozoid turned around and threw a punch into the air. "I thought you weren't like anyone else! I thought your people would treat us as their own! I should have thought that if humanoids were to help the protozoans and turn their weapons on their fellow humans, they would abandon us. ”

Prodmore was a little uncontrollable: "How can you say that? Now that we've talked about it, you should always give me the right to question, right? ”

"The truth is—"

"What are the facts? Except for Bolick and his crew. Have you asked anyone else? ”

Chen Feng answered Prodmoore's question in silence.

"I'll find out. Where did the Ogator come about? ”

"One mile from Thorn City (1 league: equivalent to 1.5 nautical miles), about an hour's flight."

Prodmore nodded: "I'll send someone to investigate." The cruisers in that area were sent by the North Outpost. ”

Chen Feng tensed his nerves.

"What?"

The protozoa turned to look at Prodmoore: "For me, it will be a lot of pressure to forcibly retake Fort North. ”

"For me, the pressure to hold the North Outpost is not small."

They forced their eyes on each other. Prodmore saw something strange in Chen Feng's dark eyes: not anger, but confusion.

"How?" Chen Feng asked calmly, the belligerent emotion seemed to be sucked out of his body, "How can we fight over such a stupid thing?" ”

Prodmore couldn't help but laugh: "We are the leaders, Chen Feng. ”

"Does a leader have to involve his people in a bloody war?"

"It's like that in wartime," Proudmore said, "it's not like in peacetime." War requires a great deal of energy. We don't just have to fight. I also have to take care of daily tasks. But when the war is over, only the daily affairs remain. She walked up to her old friend and put her little hand on his arm: "I will find out the truth." If my soldiers fail to do their duty as agreed, I assure you that they will be punished severely. ”

Chen Feng nodded: "Thank you, Proudmoore." I apologize to you for your recklessness just now, my people have suffered too much, and I have tasted it. So I don't want to see them treated unfairly again. ”

"I don't want to," Prodmore said quietly, "perhaps—" She hesitated.

"What?"

"Maybe we should sign a formal agreement. You're right – we can trust each other. But it doesn't mean that all humanoids and protozoans can do this. If we're gone, things are harder to say. ”

Chen Feng nodded: "Sometimes it's hard for the protozoa to remember...... They are no longer slaves of humanoids, so even in peacetime, they always want to rebel. Sometimes even I am infected by their enthusiasm. After all, I've been enslaved by an army of demonic insects as evil as humanoids. I always think of things as bad, and so do they. I think it's better to do as you say. ”

"But we have to settle the crisis at hand first," Proudmore smiled at Chen Feng, "and then we can free up our hands to sign the agreement." ”

"Okay." Chen Feng shook his head. Giggled.

"What's wrong?"

"You don't look like her at all, but—every time I see you smile, even for a moment. I always think of Terry. ”

Prodmore had heard of the girl—her full name was Teresa, and they used to call her Terry. She was the daughter of one of Edla's families. In order to help Chen Feng escape, she sacrificed her life.

Protozons have always used songs to record history: Lokamon is used to record family history, Loktra is used to record wars, and Lokverdnor is used to record the life of heroes. Everyone knows that there is only one humanoid in the world that has its own Rockeverdnord, and that is Terry.

Prodmore lowered his head slightly and said, "It's an honor for you to associate me with her, and I plan to send Colonel Lorena to Fort North to investigate this matter." I'll let you know if there's any news. ”

Chen Feng shook his head: "It's another woman, the humanoid approach really surprised me." ”

Prodmore's tone became cold, and she clenched her wand, "What do you mean by that?" Is it true that men and women are not equal in your world? ”

"Of course not. I'm not alone. Chen Feng said without waiting for Proudmore to speak, "They are born unequal—as much as insects and flowers are different." The meaning of the existence of men and women is completely different. ”

Proudmore was glad Chen Feng said that.

So that she can repeat what the teacher has said. At that time, she was still an ignorant girl, and she just wanted to be a disciple of a ** scholar. But the teacher said to her, "If a woman's nature is fit to be a priest, then a dog can sing an aria." ”

As in those days, Prodmore said, "It is precisely because we can change our nature that we are human beings and not animals, and let's not forget that some even think that protozons are inherently slaves." ”

Prodmore shook his head. "Of course, there are many people who agree with you, and that's why women have to work twice as hard to achieve the same status as men - and that's why I trust Lorena so much, because she understands it."

Chen Feng tilted his neck back when he heard this, and smiled happily: "You are really a lovely woman Prodmore." You made me realize that I still don't know enough about humanoids, even though I was raised by humanoids. ”

"These thoughts of yours are the result of the people who raised you."

Chen Feng nodded: "Makes sense." We'll talk when your female colonel is done investigating. He walked over to the ship's rope ladder.

"Chen Feng." He turned his head to look at Prodmoore, who handed him a look of encouragement, "We can't let the League fail. ”

He nodded again: "Okay, it won't." With that, he climbed the rope ladder.

Prodmore recited the incantation alone, a language that only the mages understood. She took a deep breath. The hills, the spaceship, Chen Feng, and Razor Ridge all swirled around her, and her stomach seemed to be sucked out of her nose. Everything around her became more and more blurred, and in the blink of an eye, it merged into the room she knew best—the council chamber. The council chamber is located in the interior of the tallest building in Ramau, a large castle.

This is where Proudmoore conducts state affairs. In this small house there is only one table with scrolls piled high on it. In comparison, Prodmore didn't like to go to the throne very much. (To be continued......)
