Chapter 112 The World of Arrasan
Jean Reno was also greatly surprised when he met Russell. He had never seen a human as strong as him before. "Except for Space Marines," he said. The Catachan men might be taller than Russell, but they were far less muscular. In other words, even a Catachan man standing next to Russell looked like a lean man, mainly because Russell's muscles were just too exaggerated.
Russell quickly introduced himself: "My name is Russell, and I come from the 357th Assault Regiment of Cardia."
“So you are a venerable Cardia warrior. Salute to all Cardia warriors!” Jean Reno said solemnly.
His words undoubtedly struck a chord with Russell, immediately increasing Russell's goodwill towards him, which shows that people who know how to speak are indeed different.
Russell immediately gave him a standard military salute and said: Thank you, Lord Jean Reno.
“Please sit down!” Jean Reno gestured for Russell to sit down.
Russell did not refuse and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, Jean Reno introduced the people in the cockpit to Russell. There were seven people in the cockpit at the moment, and it could be said that those who could stay here were all high-ranking officers on the ship.
“His name is Rock!” Jean Reno said, pointing to a burly man with a red beard.
Russell nodded to the red-bearded man.
"His name is 'Scale,' which comes from the Faculty of Mechanics, and he is the technical director of the ship."
"Scale, salute to the warriors of Cardia!" Scale, completely shrouded in red robes, spoke, his voice sounding unlike that of a human.
Russell's goodwill towards anyone who paid tribute to Cartier increased, and he quickly returned the salute to the "motorcycle enthusiast."
"His name is Shining, a powerful psionicist."
Psykers are all mysterious and eccentric individuals. This guy named Shining didn't take Russell seriously at all, so he didn't respond. Russell didn't mind and just nodded to him.
"His name is Job, and he's the ship's manager."
The slightly aged Job smiled at Russell, who returned the smile.
“This is a respectable Cardia warrior, and also my sister’s bodyguard,” Jean Reno said, pointing to Russell.
Russell and Jean Isabella were both slightly taken aback, and then Jean Isabella's gaze fell on Russell.
Russell could only nod helplessly.
"I called everyone here today mainly to announce something. We are going to a world called Yarasan. We need to obtain a special crystal in this world. This crystal is very popular among the nobles of the empire. If we can get this crystal, we can sell it for a good price. Although this crystal is very valuable, it is not easy to obtain. It is said that this world is a desert world, filled with various technologically advanced but barbaric tribes, which is very dangerous."
The red-bearded giant named Rock sneered: "Danger and reward go hand in hand. If we're afraid of danger, what kind of merchants and wandering warriors are we?"
His words sounded particularly harsh, and Russell immediately frowned. If any soldier in the Star Guardian Army dared to speak so sarcastically, Russell would have slapped them across the face without hesitation.
Jean Reno, seemingly used to it, said: "Rock is right. Danger and opportunity go hand in hand. To make money, we must take risks. So, let's move forward into this world."
After everyone else had left, Jean Reno said to Russell: "Brother Russell, sister, come with me to the captain's cabin. I have something to say to you."
The three of them went to the captain's cabin and sat down.
Jean Reno's face immediately darkened. He said, "I'm finding it increasingly difficult. These guys are taking me, the captain, less and less seriously. Several people didn't attend today's meeting."
“Brother, we’re just business partners, not superiors and subordinates, so their behavior isn’t surprising.” Jean Isabella didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.
Russell nodded and said, "I think your sister is right. After all, this isn't a military camp."
“But if this continues, the people on our ship will lose their cohesion, and without cohesion, we won’t be able to face the various challenges of the future,” Jean Reno said with great concern.
“This can’t go on,” Isabella said after a moment of contemplation.
"Perhaps you should change your partners?" Russell felt that changing partners was the only way to solve the problem.
Renault thought for a moment and said: "After this deal is done, we'll go back to Macurag and recruit crew members there again."
"Ultraman's homeworld, Five Hundred Worlds, Ultramar, Macragge?"
Renault chuckled and said, "That's the safest place in the Empire, and also where there are the most mercenaries. People hired there are not only cheaper, but also more capable. I should have hired people there from the beginning instead of in Terra."
Both Terra and Macurag are places Russell really wants to go.
"Russell, once we get to Arrasan, you must protect my sister. Some guys have been eyeing her all along, don't think I don't know," Renault said menacingly.
Russell nodded and said: I will.
"You look very strong, but I wonder how strong you are in combat?" Renault asked curiously.
Russell smiled and said: I can only say it's alright.
“That Rock guy has an Oglin bodyguard. I’ve seen that giant; he’s three meters tall and stronger than you. I wonder when I’ll get an Oglin bodyguard too,” Renault said enviously.
This time, Russell finally understood why the old man was so arrogant; he had the right to be arrogant. He thought Oglin's bodyguard could easily kill all humans.
…………
A Valkyrie fighter jet landed in a vast desert, and people emerged from the aircraft.
This is a small, fully armed force.
Renault walked at the front, followed by a group of mercenaries who also served as his bodyguards.
Next came "The Shining," "The Rock," and so on, followed by Russell and Isabella.
Russell's weapons remained the same four: the Fire Kirin Laser Gun, the Bomb Pistol, the Power Axe, and the Blood Drinker.
Just as Renault had said, this place was indeed a desert region, surrounded by an endless sea of sand, and scorching under the blazing sun.
Renault glanced at the map in his hand and said, "There's an oasis not far away where quite a few people should live. We can go and inquire about the crystals there."
They hadn't gone far when a large oasis appeared before them.
Renault was a very cautious man. He called out to the crowd: "Let's not all go over there yet. It would be troublesome if the people here were very hostile. Russell, why don't you go and scout it out first?"
Russell nodded and said: Okay.
To ensure he appeared harmless, Russell handed over the Fire Kirin Bomb Pistol, Power Axe, and two other weapons to Reno, while he himself led the Blood Drinker to the location.
