Chapter 518: Inducing Ma Lien

Three days later.

A 20,000-meter-long Zeus-class space warship passed by the planet, bringing all the soldiers back, and also bringing news from the Human Federation.

The rebellion of Councilor Zhu Liye caught the military off guard. Under the attack of robots, the military retreated steadily. If it weren't for the military temporarily using the planetary destruction cannon to threaten them, I'm afraid the military would have ceased to exist completely.

But even so, the military suffered heavy losses. The 200,000-strong local army was directly beaten into disability, leaving only 30,000, and among them were quite a few disabled people.

For this reason, the military urgently dispatched the Human Federation's largest Zeus-class space warship to Planet K to transport all the soldiers back and prepare for a decisive battle.

Having tasted the taste of power, they couldn't imagine how to live the days without power. For this, they were willing to pay everything and go all out, and this just happened to give Ye Nan an opportunity.

As the captain of the Zeus-class space warship, Ma Lien's mood was very bad. Having not done very well in the Federation army, after the local army was defeated, he lived even worse. In any case, he was also a member of the military; when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.

"If I were the one in power, I would definitely do this... then do this... and then do this..."

Ma Lien closed his eyes and fantasized in his heart about what he should do when commanding the army.

"You really had a good dream," Ye Nan walked in with a smile.

"Who are you? Get out," Ma Lien opened his eyes, saw Ye Nan break in, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and his voice turned cold.

"My name is Ye Nan," the smile on Ye Nan's face was not satisfied. "As for letting me out, I'm afraid you can't do it. Don't you think you should look at your own environment?"

Ma Lien was shocked, instinctively scanning his surroundings. The strange yet familiar environment made him feel uncomfortable. He seemed to have seen it somewhere, but had forgotten it. This depressed feeling tormented him to the point of being unable to bear it.

He stood on a high platform. Below was the cheering crowd. Beside him was his wife who had accompanied him for decades. Although it was a strange environment, he still felt satisfied, if not for the annoying ghost Ye Nan beside him.

"Is your dream to become the one in power?" Ye Nan looked at Ma Lien with a smile, his words carrying a hint of irony. "You want to deny it? No need to deny it. This is your dream. Your thoughts will be truly reflected in this dream, so there is no need to be hypocritical."

Ye Nan waved his hand, and the cheering crowd and the wife who had accompanied him for decades all froze, then shattered, replaced by a battlefield engulfed in flames of war.

Bugs and humans were killing each other on the battlefield. The ferocious bugs used their bodies to kill one human soldier after another, while the human soldiers raised the weapons in their hands to counterattack the bugs.

Back and forth, the number of casualties kept rising, and he sat in the office, looking at the reports written by others. That series of lives turned into numbers, not even giving him a hint of being moved.

"This is not me," Ma Lien threw the report in his hand down, and the whole person went crazy. "This is not me. I can't be so indifferent. I love my soldiers like children. Every time a soldier sacrifices, I will shed sincere tears..."

"It's crocodile tears," the warm smile on Ye Nan's face was gone, replaced by a thorough sneer. "On the surface, you are a leader who loves his soldiers like children, but in reality, you are just putting on a show in your heart, and the goal is to become the new big boss."

"No, this is not true. All this is you spreading rumors," Ma Lien roared, his voice carrying an undisguised panic.

It was a panic of lies being exposed, a panic of not knowing how to conduct oneself.

"Spreading rumors? Spreading rumors means using absurd ghost stories to confuse people, and the one using absurd ghost stories to confuse people is not me, but you," a sneer appeared on Ye Nan's face. "In order to get ahead, you racked your brains to perform in front of the soldiers, wanting to win the hearts of the army. Unfortunately, your racking your brains finally mixed you into the position of a captain. It's really, how to say..."

"Using unlucky is not appropriate, using making a fortune, you are not happy, using tragedy to describe you, it's about the same."

The profession of captain is considered high, but his real power is limited to this warship. It can be said that if he doesn't have any particularly outstanding achievements, he can only be a captain for the rest of his life.

However, as a captain, wanting to make achievements, where is it so easy? Many warship captains may not be able to make an achievement in their whole life.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be satisfied, but as someone with ambition who wants to become a high-level officer, becoming a warship captain is equivalent to being exiled, and his future is completely broken.

"What exactly do you want to do?" The secret hidden in the deepest part of his heart was revealed, even for him, an old face couldn't hold it.

"Nothing, just want to help you realize your own ambition," Ye Nan waved his hand, and Ma Lien returned to the high platform again. The people below were still cheering, and his wife walked over.

"Dear, today is your inauguration ceremony, don't you want to say something?"

Ma Lien's mouth was wide enough to swallow an egg. This scene, his wife, and the cheering people, he finally understood why he felt familiar. This was clearly the place where the Marshal took the oath of office.

"I..." Ma Lien just opened his mouth, all the cheering disappeared, and everything stopped, just like a movie with a pause button pressed.

Ma Lien swallowed his words again and choked. He coughed a few times, his gaze fell on his wife's wide-open mouth, and his expression was a bit ugly.

"This is my dream, how can you manipulate my dream?" Saying that, Ma Lien slapped himself, but to his surprise, the expected pain didn't come.

He was stunned and said in disbelief: "Could it be that this is really my dream?"

In a dream, hitting yourself has no feeling, so he suspected that this was not a dream, but the idea of some kind of holographic projection was shattered.

"This is of course your dream," Ye Nan's face returned to a smile again, becoming the calm Ye Nan.

"Since it is my dream, why can't I manipulate my dream?" Ma Lien's face was even uglier.

His dream was invaded, which made him feel more horrified than holographic projection.

"Have you seen anyone who can manipulate their own dream?" Ye Nan mocked. You think about it during the day and dream about it at night, but this can only roughly regulate the dream. Wanting to completely control the dream and make the details of the dream change, where is it so easy?

And although this is Ma Lien's dream, it is Ye Nan's psychic world. He just used his psychic power to manifest Ma Lien's dream. Simply put, Ma Lien is not in a dream, so he can be so clear-headed.

"That's not there," Ma Lien opened his mouth and finally spat out such a sentence, and then became depressed. But soon, the depressed air was swept away, and he became upright again. "You just said that you came to help me realize my ambition, so how do you plan to help me?"

Ma Lien, who confirmed that this was his dream, didn't hide his ambition anymore. Anyway, for him, this was just a dream. Even if Ye Nan said everything in the dream, it would at most make those big bosses laugh.

"Very simple, you should know that something happened to the Human Federation," Ye Nan said.

"I know," Ma Lien nodded. As an ambitious person, he always paid attention to the movements of those big bosses locally, including Councilor Zhu Liye. After all, although Zhu Liye's strength couldn't compare to those Marshals, it wasn't much worse.

However, a month ago, Councilor Zhu Liye was squeezed out because he offended the military, and his power was wiped out overnight, so he didn't continue to pay attention.

Who would have thought that a month later, Councilor Zhu Liye would burst out with such great energy, dispatching a large number of Terminators, controlling the entire Human Federation. If it weren't for the military having planetary annihilation cannons, I'm afraid Councilor Zhu Liye would have unified the entire Human Federation.

"Yes, it's him. You also know that Councilor Zhu Liye has occupied most of the area, and the remaining military territory is already in danger. But..." Ye Nan elongated the syllables.

"But what?" Ma Lien asked anxiously.

If Ye Nan's words hadn't started, he wouldn't be so anxious, but Ye Nan's words stopped at the critical moment, which made him feel uncomfortable.

It's like you and your wife are having routine sex, and when you reach the climax, your period suddenly comes. The whole person will be anxious to death.

"But the military has weapons of mass destruction in their hands, and Councilor Zhu Liye doesn't dare to attack. In other words, the military only has this trump card of weapons of mass destruction to use."

"Think about it, if you get these weapons of mass destruction, wouldn't you replace the military?"

Ma Lien's eyes lit up, and his heart suddenly opened up.

"Why didn't I think of this method before?" Ma Lien hammered his thigh with his fist, and the whole person jumped up.

It's like a general's military power. As long as you seize his military power, you can replace him. The same principle works here too.

The reason why it couldn't be done before was because seizing military power is a very difficult thing, but now it's different. Weapons of mass destruction such as Q-bombs and planetary destruction cannons are dead objects. Wanting to obtain them is much less difficult. Most importantly, as the captain of the Zeus-class space warship, he has come into contact with Q-bombs and planetary destruction cannons, and he knows how to control them. ===== CHAPTER 519 =====
