"What's wrong?"

A bright smile bloomed on Zhang Yuan's face, completely ignoring Marlan's aura.

Marlan strode to the door of the cockpit of the spaceship, looked left and right, stretched out his hand and pointed at Luni, Old Tony, and Alidran and said, "You guys go out, I have something to say to Mr. Zhang alone!" ”

The majesty of the battle angel cannot be disobeyed, and Luni and the others are ordinary people, so they subconsciously stand up and want to leave.

"Wait." Zhang Yuan spoke: "Luni, come, sit next to me." Old Tony, Alidrán, you too. Also, don't close the cockpit door. Lord Marlan, if you have something to say, just open it up and let the big guys listen to it. ”

As soon as Zhang Yuan said this, Luni came to Zhang Yuan's side without hesitation, and Old Tony and Ali Delan both stopped, but their faces were hesitant, and their eyes turned between Zhang Yuan and Marlan.

There were still a lot of people crowded at the cockpit door, people looked at the situation in the cockpit, some were expecting, some were worried, and some had complicated expressions and didn't know what they were thinking.

Seeing Zhang Yuan say this, Marlan frowned, took a step forward, and looked at Zhang Yuan condescendingly: "Mr. Zhang, I thank you for saving us, but your behavior after that is very shameful!" Shame on your glory! ”

"I'm not a warrior, I don't have glory." Zhang Yuan laughed.

Marlan waved his hand heavily, unquestioning: "I don't care about this." Now, I ask you to burn the ledger. As for the cash you collect, the reward for your deeds will be paid by the Free Heaven Corporation! ”

Zhang Yuan smiled faintly: "Lord Saint-Marland, is this your decision?" ”

"Yes!" Marlan's face was firm and irrefutable.

"What if I don't want to?"

When he said this, Zhang Yuan swept his eyes around him and observed their reactions.

Luni looked worried, and she subconsciously grabbed Zhang Yuan's arm. Alidran looked worried, and as for old Tony, this sycophant had a twinkle in his eyes, and seemed to be ready to turn the tide.

The onlookers at the hatch were also diverse, and most of them were gloating. Only a few had worries on their faces. Zhang Yuan found that these worried people were all young people, no more than 30 years old, and none of them were core figures who could take charge of the party alone, and they were all marginal rich people like Lu Ni who relied on good luck such as inheritance or family glory to obtain property, and their influence was very limited.

These reactions made Zhang Yuan realize: "It seems that if you want to become the leader of a powerful organization, the only thing you can rely on is your ability. As for kindness, it can only envelop some weak people forever. ”

The strong are like dragons, and they will always obey only the stronger.

Marlan expected this answer, she straightened up and said righteously: "If you refuse, then I will exercise the captain's authority and enforce it!" I'll put you in a compartment until you reach Mercury and you'll be free again. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan laughed.

Marlan looked puzzled.

After laughing, Zhang Yuan asked loudly, "Nightingale, according to the interstellar emergency regulations, who is the captain of the Daimaru now?" ”

"According to the interstellar emergency regulations, the captain of the Daimaru is you, Mr. Zhang Yuan."

"......" Marlan was stunned: "Nightingale? Are you still a nightingale? ”

"Yes, Lord Marlan, I am still the property of the Bright Master and Apprentice Society. I remain loyal to the Lord of Light. ”

Marlan was even more puzzled: "Then why do you support a stranger of unknown origin?" ”

Nightingale explained: "There are three reasons. First, the foreseeable future is still in a state of chaos; Second, Mr. Zhang Yuan holds the energy core of the Daimaru. Thirdly, in the past time, Mr. Zhang Yuan helped you repel the invaders once, fought off the invaders alone twice, and built a brand new spaceship, escaping the fourth pursuit of the invaders. And you let the Nightingale be destroyed. Past experience has shown that Mr. Zhang Yuan is more suitable for the position of captain than you. ”

After the nightingale's voice fell, Marlan's face showed an incredible look: "I was in a daze, and the monster caught up three more times?" ”

"Yes, Lord Marland." Nightingale confirmed, and she continued, "You see, when you wake up, you are once again misled by your experience, and flippantly think that without you, no one can repel the monster. You are highly dependent on your past experience and are overly impulsive and rash, which does not contribute to our current unknown. ”

Marlan's face was blue and white for a while, and she was silent for half a minute, and she said to Zhang Yuan: "I was wrong about this, and I apologize to you." Captain. ”

This attitude change is a bit big, and many people who are secretly looking forward to it are dumbfounded.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Lord Marlan, why don't you stop the wrong behavior?" ”

Marlan didn't look back, she sighed, and said, "Captain, I despise your actions to take advantage of people's danger, but I have no right to question you. You saved me four times, I owe you four lives, thank you so much! ”

After speaking, Marlan bowed deeply to Zhang Yuan, and then turned around to leave.

"Wait!" Zhang Yuan shouted to her.

"Captain, what do you want?!" Marlan took a deep breath.

Zhang Yuan squinted and smiled: "Lord Marlan, you see, the other people on the spaceship are very generous and give me a huge commission. You only gave me a thank you, which is a bit light. You're not disrespecting me, you're despising your own life. ”

Marlan took a deep breath: "I belong to the ascetic sect in the Apostolic Order, and I don't have any money. ”

"I don't have any money." Zhang Yuan looked sad, turned his head and asked Luni beside him, "Then how do you think she should repay me?" ”

Luni suddenly looked embarrassed, and she whispered, "Captain, I think it's better to forget it, right?" ”

She still knew what was wrong, Marlan was a battle angel, and she didn't dare to mess with it.

"Alidlan, what do you say?"

Alidran smiled bitterly: "Captain, don't embarrass me. ”

"Old Tony!"

Old Tony's face turned green, he stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and was about to open his mouth to speak, when suddenly his face turned pale, and the whole person fell backwards, and finally fell to the ground with a 'bang', and fainted.

Good guy, it's so dizzy.

Marlan let out a long breath and spoke: "Everything I have belongs to God, and I can't serve another master, but in order to repay you for saving your life, I will do four things for you!" ”

"Whatever?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"As long as I can, whatever I can."

"Smack~"

Zhang Yuan snapped his fingers: "Deal!" ”

If it was another doomsday-level powerhouse, Zhang Yuan really couldn't be so persecuted, but he observed Marlan all the way and knew her character. Despite her flawed personality, she was a devout apostle of light, and as long as she was justified, she would never have to worry about using personal force to solve problems.

The battle angels of the Apostles of Light are still morally reliable, and according to the words of the Earth Federation, this is a gentleman.

Marlan turned around without saying a word, and was about to leave.

"Hey, don't be in a hurry!" Zhang Yuan called out to her again.

"What else do you want to do?!" A hint of anger appeared in Marlan's eyes, and her hands clenched into fists.

Zhang Yuan put away his smile and said, "Don't forget, we haven't escaped yet." It's nearly a hundred light-years away from Mercury, and if you want to go around such a large dark nebula along the way, you may have any accidents along the way. Are you ready to shirk your duty of guardianship like this? ”

Marlan was shocked in her heart, and the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared: "You are right, I am wrong!" ”

Zhang Yuan pointed to the position on the left side of his body, and a smile appeared on his face: "Sit here, I have reserved the position of the deputy captain for you." ”

Marlan looked at the position and felt that it was a little close to Zhang Yuan, but considering the tight space of the spaceship, she didn't say much, walked a few steps forward, and sat down in the position.

Zhang Yuan waved his hand at the crowd at the door: "Gentlemen, remember not to repay the debt, otherwise Lord Marlan will come to help me collect the debt in person, and it will not be good to that extent."

"You!" Marlan was furious, she felt that this Zhang Yuan was simply unheard of shameless, her dignified battle angel went to be a debt collector, what kind of system did this become!

Zhang Yuan looked at her with a smile: "This is what you said, no matter what." Are you ready to go back on it so quickly? Could it be that the honor of the Battle Angel could be so easily abandoned? ”

"Hey~" Marlan sighed and stopped talking.

The rich people on the spaceship, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end they all sighed, the captain's methods are really powerful, and Lord Marlan is still too tender, too tender.

After that, the trip was very peaceful, and the Daimaru flew all the way towards the interstellar highway, and there were no bubble monsters.

About five hours later, the Daimaru arrived near the entrance to the Interstellar Highway.

"What's that?" Marlan asked, pointing to a small black dot at the entrance of the passageway.

"Nightingale." Zhang Yuan shouted.

The image was suddenly zoomed in, zoomed in, and when it was magnified to 1,000 times, this small black dot turned into a group of warships, in which there were 500 warships of all kinds.

The scary thing is that this group of battleships is right next to the exit of the interstellar highway, and they are forming a ball and are frantically attacking a huge ship that is at least 6 kilometers long.

The large ship also fought back, surrounded by a large number of mechfighters and small warships, numbering at least 1,000 or more.

The two sides fought very fiercely, but the big ship had already shown a very obvious decline.

Marlan muttered: "It's not scientific, that large mothership has the advantage in combat power, how can it lose?" ”

"Nightingale, keep zooming in."

When the image zooms in again, all the way to 5,000 times, many details of the battlefield begin to appear. After seeing this detail, everyone in the cockpit gasped.

In the cracks of those battleships, there were endless small black spots, and if you looked closely, it was the bubble monster that had destroyed the Nightingale and chased them away.

"That's a lot of bubbles." Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, feeling that the situation was a little out of control. Even if he piloted the White Angel mecha and encountered a bubble of this size, he would only have to turn around and run away.

Marlan was shocked: "The little battleship is a warhawk!" That mothership is the Kun-type capital mothership of the Crimson Empire! Isn't one of the Crimson Empire's main fleets even a match for these monsters? ”
