Chapter 14: Star-Lord
In the depths of the universe, in a thin cosmic space, a group of mighty and majestic black warships is quietly suspended.
On one of the extraordinarily large black flagships, in front of the bridge window, stood a burly figure. He wears a black hood, a pitch-black cloak, a black suit, and a long hammer at his hand.
Only a small part of the man's face showed a little blue skin, and the entire forehead, cheeks, and jaw were painted with a special pigment of camouflage. These camouflage symbolize the bravery and courage of the high-ranking Cree warriors, and the glory of victory.
Ronan the Accuser, the most radical warlord and militant of the Kree Empire, commands a powerful fleet of the Kree Empire, known as the Accusation Group.
At this moment, Ronan has just finished communicating with Thanos. Ronan stood in front of the porthole, looking out at the deep and infinite universe in deep space.
Behind him, a projection display device scrolled through the video.
In the image, it is a woman who radiates a dazzling light, and the energy in her body surges extremely violently, sometimes as bright as a star.
This woman's whole person turned into a meteor, destroying half of the Accusation Regiment's fleet with her bare hands. The incomparably powerful energy is released at hand, and in the radiant eyes, the warning meaning is self-evident.
Many years ago, thousands of cosmic standard cycles ago, thousands of years ago, on that remote planet called Earth, Ronan met this woman.
She was so powerful, so desirable, that she was supposed to be a weapon of the Kree Empire.
From then on, Ronan vowed that one day, this weapon would be his own.
Unfortunately, it backfired.
After much contact, Ronan was convinced that he could not control this powerful weapon. The weapon had an independent will of her own, and that will was as strong as his desire for revenge.
Ronan had no choice but to abandon his previous plan and find another way out.
Then one day, the infamous Thanos contacted him. Thanos asks him to look around for an ancient treasure called the Cosmic Orb. It is believed that the orb was lost on an abandoned planet.
In exchange, Thanos promised him that one day, he would help him achieve his wish: to destroy the Sandar civilization.
So, for some time after that, Ronan has been looking for this cosmic spirit ball everywhere in the universe.
But not long after, when he got new information and went to report to Thanos, Thanos changed his previous attitude and refused to talk about the previous agreement between the two parties. From Thanos' tone, Ronan could hear that Thanos seemed to have lost interest in the cosmic spirit ball.
And Thanos confessed to telling him that in the cosmic spirit ball, there is actually an artifact called the Infinity Stone, which is one of the power stones. Whoever possesses the Power Stone will have the most powerful power in the universe!
And for some reason, Thanos, who met again, seemed to have no interest in finding the Stone of Power.
Ronan himself is interested.
According to Thanos, if this gem really has such power, as long as he can get it, his revenge plan will be guaranteed. He wouldn't hesitate to use it to destroy Xandhar.
Thanos told him to wait first. As for how long to wait, Thanos is ambiguous and does not give a definite answer.
Ronan's patience is limited.
In view of Thanos' strength, Ronan has always been compromised, in fact, in his heart he puts himself on an equal footing with the other party. But the other party doesn't seem to see him that way, just as a lackey.
It was only this time that Ronan finally wore out what little patience he had left.
Thanos actually sat back and watched those people, taking away the cosmic spirit ball and the power stone inside, but instead valued a worthless abandoned planet so much. This makes Ronan wonder, is Thanos old and confused?
Since the last time they met, Thanos has given Ronan the feeling that the whole thing is like a different person.
Since Thanos was not interested in the Power Stone at all, the previous transaction was voided.
Ronan decides, go get it yourself!
On the porthole, the communication is connected, revealing a blue face, Ronan's new partner this time.
"Ronan, I didn't expect you to come to me." The person in the newsletter said in a surprised tone.
Ronan sneered: "Poacher Yongdu, the one banished by the notorious marauders. ”
The man on the screen is none other than Yongdu, one of the leaders of the Marauder group and the guardian of Star-Lord Pete Quayle.
The blue-skinned Yondu is not a Kree, but a centaur. Centaur has long since been destroyed, and Yongdu is the last remaining remnant of Centaur who lives on poaching and interstellar plunder, and his subordinates are a bunch of the most shameless, filthy and ridiculous bastards, scum, and streamers in the universe. People.
In short, this is the 18 forbidden stories of a group of bastards and a bastard leader, leading a little ruffian from the earth to rob houses and houses, and enjoy doing evil.
Yongdu was on his raider ship at the moment, and was picking his teeth after eating, when suddenly the communication rang out, and at a glance, it turned out to be Ronan, the accuser.
After hesitating for a while, Yongdu decided to connect and listen to what the other party wanted to say.
"An object called the Cosmic Spirit Orb was recently taken away from the planet Morag. The people who took it were a group of strangers, led by self-proclaimed apostles. They also destroyed Morag. Ronan said straight to the point.
"Morag Star? The abandoned star that has been abandoned for tens of thousands of years? Yongdu was surprised and said, "What good things will be hidden there?" Actually ruined the planet? ”
"You don't need to ask about that." Ronan snorted and said lightly, "I want you to find them for me." Bring me the cosmic spirit orb from these people. ”
Yongdu laughed: "Why should I listen to you? As far as I understand it, it seems that the accusation is not yet in charge of the marauders. ”
"You can think of this as a deal." Ronan said lightly: "Bring me the cosmic spirit ball, and I will give you what you want." ”
"Give me what I want?" Yongdu laughed enough and became serious: "How much can you give?" ”
"Asylum of the Accusation Corps."
"Huh. Joke. ”
"And five million Star Coins." Ronan said.
As soon as Yongdu heard about this number, he immediately fell silent.
After a long silence, Yongdu asked, "How do I know who took the orb?" ”
"It's simple. The one who took the orb has a battleship as huge as a planet. ”
"What do you say? Planet as big? Yongdu's eyes widened, and he looked stunned: "People who have mastered this technique, do you want me to trouble them?" ”
"You just need to steal the cosmic spirit ball from the other party. Isn't that what you're best at? Ronan replied with a sneer.
Yongdu was silent again.
Ronan finally said coldly: "The asylum of the accusation group and five million star coins." In exchange for the Cosmic Spirit Orb. I'm waiting for your news. ”
The communication ended.
In front of the porthole, Ronan picked up the long war hammer beside him, turned around, and walked towards the bridge.
He didn't think he was betraying Thanos, on the contrary, it was Thanos who betrayed him.
And all he has pursued all his life is to take revenge on Xandar Star!
Many years ago, during the war between the Kree Empire and Xandal, Sandar killed his parents. For as long as he can remember, he has vowed to take revenge on Xandar with all his life's energy.
It is precisely because of this that he will tirelessly pursue all powerful weapons and powers.
The Kree Empire Accusation Group, the glowing woman, holds the Kree Warhammer that combines the most cutting-edge technology of the Kree Empire.
and, now, the Stone of Strength.
With the Stone of Strength, he can destroy the decaying Xandar Star civilization with his own hands. He swore that there would be no Sandar left!
Next, it's time to sit back and wait for Yongdu's progress. A grim smile appeared on Ronan's lips.
Marauder spaceship.
Yongdu, who ended the communication, frowned. He reached out and touched the fin mechanism on his head, and straightened the leather jacket coat on his body, which was the latest fashion. Immediately, Yongdu turned around and went out the door, walking towards the crew hall.
The entire crew of the Marauder ship was gathered in the hall at this time, drinking and bragging, wrestling and fighting, and it was noisy and noisy.
Yongdu stood in front of the railing on the second floor, his hands propped up on the rusted iron railing, looking at the noisy crew below.
He was hesitating.
Hesitant to believe Ronan's words.
In the bottom of his heart, Yongdu was very suspicious of Ronan's motives.
The person standing next to him is Yongdu's deputy and Yongdu's most confidant of the crew.
"Captain, I think we should give it a try. That's five million Star Coins! Enough for the brothers to get a good share. When the deputy learned that the reward was as high as five million, his heart flushed.
"Ronan wasn't so kind." Yongdu sneered and said, "The person who took that orb must have an unusual power. Since Ronan is going to find us and steal the cosmic spirit ball from these people, Ronan will not dare to confront these people head-on. To provoke such a person does not bode well for a marauder. ”
"But...... Five million star coins......" The deputy's eyes are full of little stars, and his mind is full of oceans of money.
"Let me think again......" Yongdu was a little upset.
Reason told him that this mission could not be taken. Absolutely unacceptable. Otherwise, it may bring him ruin.
However, five million Star Coins, that's a lot of money. It's very tempting, indeed.
After hesitating for a long time, Yongdu finally shook his head and said, "It is definitely not easy to take that orb from Ronan's hands. I'm afraid that we will have the life to make money and not the life to spend money. ”
The deputy was poured with a basin of cold water and sobered up a little. Indeed, the universe is so big, there are always some people they can't provoke. In their business, the eyesight is the most important. This is also the reason why everyone is willing to follow Yongdu.
Follow Yongdu to work, you can always succeed, and then you can always get out. Only a handful of fools would choose not to trust Yongdu. The deputy felt that he was a smart man.
"Then ...... Secrecy? The deputy asked tentatively.
Yongdu nodded decisively: "This news, don't let others know." ”
"Yes, Captain."
However, the news has long been leaked.
Yongdu didn't know that the conversation between the two of them had already been overheard by a guy hiding on the side.
This is a young human man, with brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a "fashionable" brown and yellow leather jacket, walking sneakily, and staring straight ahead: "Five million star coins......"
This young man is none other than Pete Quayle, nicknamed himself "Star-Lord".
Without hesitation, Pete Quill ran back to his room, cleaned up casually, and boarded his small spaceship.
As long as he steals that cosmic spirit orb, he can exchange it for five million star coins!
As long as you have five million Star Coins, the famous Star-Lord can get out of this damn stinking shithole, stay away from this shipload of bastards, go to a beautiful and rich border planet, and live a high-quality life surrounded by beautiful women!
"Bye-bye, bastards! Hahaha! ”
Star-Lord sat in the driver's seat, fastened his seatbelt, and turned on his Walkman.
Classic pop music of the 80s on Earth, stirring in the cabin. Emotions played. Star-Lord screamed excitedly, squirming wildly to the music.
The small ship broke away from the Marauder ship and sailed into space.
The jump engine started, and Star-Lord's small spaceship disappeared with a "whoosh".
It was only then that Yongdu got the news.
This kid actually acted on his own after eavesdropping, which is almost going to blow up Yongdu.
Yongdu angrily slammed his fist on the table and said, "Pete has been too impulsive since he was a child! ”
The deputy cautiously asked, "Captain, what should I do?" ”
"Marauder, set sail!" Yongdu's eyes were firm, no longer hesitating, he waved his big hand, raised his arms and shouted: "Be sure to find the Death Star before Pete!" ”
