Chapter 693: Betrayal
The Marauder spaceship changed its previous momentum and activated the thrust reverser engine, which made the huge fortress-like spaceship start to slow down, so as not to smash this small spaceship and let the precious cosmic spirit ball flow into the universe, and there would be no place to cry when the time came.
But slowing down to slowing down, the marauders still deterred the main guns, secondary guns, laser cannons, ion cannons, etc., large and small weapons, all of which were revealed, and they almost engraved on the hull of the ship 'Dare to run and fire'.
Star-Lord hung up the communication with a stiff smile, his face immediately collapsed, and his right hand holding the cosmic spirit ball naturally slid down, stuffing the cosmic spirit ball into his pocket, but said casually: "Now you are going to meet the most murderous person in the universe, what is your plan?" ”
"Plans? What is the plan? Greer lowered his head and sorted out his cards, during this time he fought repeatedly, adding a lot of cards, and familiarizing himself with the functions and names, so that he could draw them out and use them in time during the battle.
"What? Don't tell me you don't have any plans to break into the Marauders' ship. ”
Rocket Raccoon carried his homemade large ion gun on his back, and kept stuffing all kinds of explosives into his backpack, and said without raising his head: "Ronan's Dark Star has broken through, just a marauder, do you need a plan?" ”
“...”
Gamora was the only one on the Milano, who was seriously 'working', marking the control center, energy storage department, engine energy transmission pipelines, and so on of the Marauder ship that Star-Lord had provided him with the ship model on the holographic screen.
As the Marauder ship approached, the atmosphere in the Milano became solemn, and Rocket Raccoon brought all the weapons and equipment he could bring with him, and asked Groot to hide the Supreme Energy Battery he got from Monarch as a mass killer.
As for Drax, stuff his two short knives into his tasteful boots, and that's it, his iron fists are enough to fight the invincible opponents in the world, and there is no need to bring more weapons.
Gamora put on her protective suit, walked over to Greer, and asked in her usual cold tone, "Is that really the Cosmic Spirit Orb?" ”
Grell looked up in his seat, put the card away, and said, "Do you think the imitation can fool Quill?" ”
"Is the Power Gem still there?"
"Just open it and look at it."
"I see." Gamora nodded and walked over to Star-Lord, who was standing aside, to continue learning about the Marauder.
The pistol-shaped ship slowly approached, and in front of it, the Milano was like a flat boat next to a 10,000-ton ship, and a slight wave could overturn the small ship.
Rocket Raccoon took a closer look at this rather large spaceship through the window, the shell was quite rough, it looked like a large pile of steel plates were welded, and there were many colorful unknown patterns painted on it, which made people feel that it was not a good ship at first glance.
"Oh, this thing looks terrible." Rocket Raccoon made his evaluation, he can see a lot of things on the outside, the spaceship that looks beautiful must not be weak in combat power, and the huge spaceship in front of him, the shell is messy, just like the building blocks put together by the bear child, there is no beauty.
"At the beginning, the spaceship was very small, there were more and more people, and the spaceship was getting bigger and bigger, and I lived on it since I was a child, and the most I heard was to eat you if I didn't obey." Star-Lord's eyes were complicated as he looked at the spaceship, which had taken up all of his vision.
He has lived on this ship since he was eight years old, and now he has been twenty-six years old, and has witnessed Yongdu grow from a few followers to a team of hundreds or thousands of people; From a spaceship smaller than the Milano, to a fortress-like spaceship...
"They still eat people?" Rocket Raccoon looked at Star-Lord in surprise, who seemed to be stuck in memory, he had only heard that the marauders had been abducted and stolen, but he didn't expect that these cosmic bandits also had a hobby of cannibalism.
"Anyway, they kept threatening me with that, an eight-year-old."
Star-Lord was saying this, the Milano came to a sudden stop, the connection caused the hull to shake violently, and it had already been put into the garage by the Marauder ship, and without looking outside, Star-Lord could fully imagine that there must be countless guns pointed at them outside.
The rear hatch slowly opened, allowing the two groups of people inside and outside to gradually see each other, the predators who were outnumbered, all kinds of voices were chaotic like a vegetable market, in contrast, Star-Lord's side could be described as silent, and each hand was on the weapon.
"Hey, Quill," Yongdu greeted him with a smile on his face, opened his arms, greeted him with great enthusiasm, hugged Star-Lord, patted him on the back a few times, and then put one hand around Star-Lord, and said with a smile, "I knew you must be fine." ”
"I've always missed you, too." Star-Lord is also incredibly enthusiastic, looking like a reunion of old friends from many years, although it is even more believable to ignore the sabre-rattling crowd behind them.
Finally, someone on the Marauder's side couldn't help but break the warm and harmonious atmosphere, and a red-faced man who was too ugly squeezed out of the crowd, carrying a gun thicker than his arm and rather shoddy in appearance, and said, "Traitor, hand over the Cosmic Spirit Ball." ”
"Hand it over."
"Hand it over."
“......”
The crowd suddenly resounded with the response of many people, looking at Star-Lord's greedy eyes full of the word 'money', if it weren't for Yongdu's deterrence, I'm afraid they would have swarmed up to compete for 'four billion', even so, the marauders were also ready to move, one by one they kept squeezing forward, and the hands holding the weapons were not very honest.
Yongdu turned his head suddenly, the smile on his face was gone, and he glanced at his subordinates with a gloomy face, and his eyes were as cold as ice, which made the marauders shudder, and the fire in their hearts was extinguished at once, and they avoided Yongdu's eyes in fear.
But not everyone was scared and afraid, and the red-skinned ugly man, who was the first bird, was still yelling: "Captain, what should I do with this traitor? ”
"Do you want to decide for me?" Yongdu said as he grabbed the edge of his shirt with one hand, looking like he was about to lift it up.
"Quill has betrayed us more than once, and he must not be forgiven this time." Another voice rang out from the crowd.
"They're worth a million."
"That's right, give them to the High Priest."
“...”
In the chaotic sound, Star-Lord reached out and took out the cosmic spirit ball, and the noisy sound disappeared in an instant, and everyone stared at the silver metal ball in Star-Lord's hand with wide eyes and mouths, which was not as big as a fist, and...
"Is this the Cosmic Spirit Orb?"
"Really?"
"How do I know? Do you know? ”
"I've only heard of it, but I've never seen it."
"Then how do you know if it's true or not?"
“....”
The predators who were full of skills for evil, and the average level of education was zero, and the argument this time was whether Star-Lord took out the real cosmic spirit ball, and not many people in the entire universe had heard of the cosmic spirit ball, let alone seen it.
Star-Lord listened to these people's words, and endless remorse welled up in his heart, he knew that he would just find a metal ball for this group of fools, so that he didn't have to share the money with these people, now it's okay, billions will fly like this.
Although he thought so in his heart, his face did not change, and he shouted loudly: "I grew up here, many of you have not been in the Marauders as long as I have been, in order to get the Cosmic Spirit Ball, I have gone through a lot of hardships and dangers, and finally brought it back, you actually call me a traitor?" ”
Star-Lord added fuel and vinegar to talk about his experience in order to get the cosmic spirit ball, which can be described as frightening and terrifying, he was caught by the Nova Legion, tortured by Ronan, and by... But it didn't change his original intention, and finally brought the cosmic spirit ball back.
The story he made up can make a "Star-Lord Adventure" with different modifications, at this level, if you are not a space pirate, you can change your career to become a screenwriter, and many of the predators who listened to it were enthusiastic, as if they had become the protagonists of the story, defeated one demon king after another, crossed a period of danger, and brought back the cosmic spirit ball.
Grell tilted his head and whispered in Gamora's ear, "He's really eloquent. ”
"He's not bad either." Gamora glanced at the Rocket Raccoon, who was busy in his pocket with both hands, which made Grell agree, and if he could quarrel with Star-Lord endlessly, his eloquence would definitely not be bad.
"Who knows if what you say is true or false? Have you ever reached out to us? A small man in the crowd suddenly spoke up, interrupting Star-Lord's narration of how to escape Nova Prison.
Yongdu's eyes instantly swept to the little man, making him immediately lower his head, but then he mustered up the courage to look up at Yongdu directly, and said, "Captain, we can't forgive the betrayer, otherwise..."
Before he could finish speaking, Star-Lord shouted loudly: "The Cosmic Spirit Ball is proof that if I had the heart to betray, I would have sold it a long time ago and left with the money, why wait until now, I didn't take it alone, it's evidence that I didn't betray." ”
Star-Lord's words made many marauders nod in agreement, for them, money is their own father and mother, everything else is fake, and being able to hold something worth four billion until now is already a good proof of character.
Some people wanted to refute, but seeing Yongdu lift up his trench coat and reveal the quiver hanging from his waist, he wisely shut up, Yongdu reached out and snatched the cosmic spirit ball from Star-Lord's hand, so as not to let others look at it, he stuffed it into his pocket and shouted loudly: "Soon we will have four billion, and we will have a celebration tonight, and there will be unlimited drinks." ”
"Oh roar!" The marauders immediately let out cheers, Yongdu was very strict with them, and there were few opportunities to drink, and now they could drink freely, which was simply heavenly treatment.
Although there were still Marauders who were not angry and let Star-Lord go, but looking at Yongdu's whistle arrows and the cheering 'fools' around him, he wisely shut his mouth, and Yongdu used both grace and power, and 'bought' the vast majority of the lower-level marauders with the four billion of painted cakes and the wine feast that would be available soon, and they would be very conspicuous if they jumped again.
In the midst of the cheers, a smile appeared on the corner of Gamora's mouth, and he said, "It seems that the marauders are very contradictory." ”
"Like Rocket and Quill?" Drax looked like he had a 'sudden realization'.
"We have more contradictions than them." Rocket Raccoon finally finished tinkering, stepped off the ship, and began to visit the hangar, always casually touching the steel walls on the way, and stuffing the contents between his fingers into the cracks in the walls.
The party soon began, and the marauders brought out a large amount of wine and food, and one by one they ate and drank like starving ghosts. The Marauders enjoyed a rare feast and didn't care about anything else, and even the Marauders who had been sent by Yongdu to spy on Star-Lord and the six of them couldn't help but join in the feast, occasionally glancing at it.
Gamora walked over to Star-Lord with a glass of verdant juice, looked at the reveling marauders, and whispered, "Yongdu doesn't seem to have full control over his men. ”
"Yongdu doesn't let the Marauders take on some jobs that don't see the light, and they don't let them do a lot of things, and only occasionally take them to Contraxia to have fun with the robots there." Star-Lord said as he pointed to the male creatures in the room, making Gamora suddenly understand how serious the contradiction was.
She also knows why the marauders are very dissatisfied with Yongdu, many of these marauders present are full of evil, and if they are caught, they will be imprisoned for the rest of their lives, and let these villains do things in a proper manner, and nothing has happened so far, which is already very good for Yongdu's leadership ability.
But this will only produce two results, either the transformation will be successful, or the anger will grow, and the dissatisfaction with Yongdu will grow day by day, until the day of the outbreak, the Yongdu or them will be blown to pieces.
Greel, who had turned around, walked over and said, "Where's Yongdu?" Quill, can you call him? I want to ask something. ”
"Ask you about the stolen things?"
"Hmm... Pretty much. ”
The marauder spacecraft sailing in the universe was reveling, but this joyful atmosphere could not stop some discordant sounds:
"He forgave Quill again."
"Could the Cosmic Spirit Ball be fake?"
"How many times Quill has lied to us, it must be a fake."
"Will Yongdu want to swallow four billion alone, he hasn't mentioned how to divide this money until now."
"Xandar is also wanted by Xandar, we can give that raccoon to the High Priest and the others to Xandar."
“......”
But this discordant sound, under the cover of the noisy banquet, is not known, in the background of heavy metal music, a radio wave across the long space of space, received by a doughnut ship, and then passed on to an even larger ship, which is presented by Ebony Throat to the ship's owner, Sanos.
"Master, someone has found traces of the cosmic spirit ball, but he wants four billion."
"Oh, really?"
"There's news from Xandar that Gamora has been found."
Thanos finally turned around and said to Ebony Throat in a calm tone, "Then bring her back, she's been away from home for too long, it's time to come back and see." ”
"Yes!"
