423: Chapter 416: Friend or Foe 423: Chapter 416: Friend or Foe It has to be admitted that in this regard, the Headquarters fully inherited the excellent traditions of the nation.
Even before the country had fully eradicated poverty, plans for the construction of highways were being drafted.
Even while the people were still using wired telephones, the construction of an information network was already being prepared.
The Mingming Plan that the Headquarters is about to launch is also based on the Origin Project.
Without the nurous sub-species of humans cultivated by the Origin Project, they would never have been able to find so many teachers to launch the Mingming Plan.
If they can obtain the Otherworld Gate from the Church Court and successfully open it, it will pave the way for their developnt in the next few decades.
Because of this, the Headquarters urgently hopes to establish a good relationship with the Church Court.
They are aware of the difficulties encountered by the Advance Team, but for the sake of building a good relationship with the Church Court, they chose to turn a blind eye to them.
“From what we can see now, the Headquarters is eager to establish a deep relationship with the Church Court in order to get Lipei from them.
However, not everyone in the Church Court agrees with cooperating with the Headquarters.
I think the current developnt direction of the Headquarters is to make it clear to everyone in the Church Court that if they don’t cooperate with the Headquarters, they’ll only be left with a dead end, forcing them to make a choice.” Cheng Ziang threw the letter to Luo’er and then said.
“Don’t be ridiculous,” Luo’er took the letter and glanced at him, shaking his head and saying, “The Church Court does not have to cooperate with us, what if they are provoked to join the FBI, we would have accomplished nothing.”
“The Church Court has killed so many NATO people, can they really reconcile with the United States?” Cheng Ziang asked him.
“It’s the Europeans who are dying, what does that have to do with the Aricans.” Luo’er closed the letter and shrugged his shoulders.
“Let’s just leave this kind of thing to those at the top to think about, we as soldiers should just focus on our own affairs.” Cheng Ziang said.
“But we’re technically not soldiers!” Hu Daoke suddenly chid in.
Indeed, the Advance Team was not defined as special forces, but an organization similar to special agents.
Initially, the Headquarters was led by the army, but later, as the organization developed and expanded, the Headquarters beca independent from the army and beca a departnt under the Ministry of Defense, in charge of Otherworld affairs.
“Who cares, being a non-soldier ans freedom.” Cheng Ziang casually said.
“What a pity, we’re to go back tomorrow, I haven’t had enough of the boss’s services.” Hu Daoke lanted.
“Stop it, you might as well marry Luo’er, look at your laziness all day long.” Cheng Ziang gave him a white-eyed look.
“That’d be great, but Sister Moumou might get angry.” Hu Daoke said.
“I really will get angry!” Tangmo said while eating.
“See!” Hu Daoke said.
“I can’t stand you anymore.” Cheng Ziang shook his head.
“Can you not include in your conversation, you’re making sothing out of nothing.” Luo’er helplessly said.
Although this month was not as relaxing as a vacation, everyone lived quite comfortably under Luo’er’s care, so they inevitably developed a bit of laziness.
Not just Hu Daoke, even Cheng Ziang was sowhat reluctant to return.
However, orders are orders.
The next day, the Advance Team packed up their things and set out on their journey back.
It was nearly two months since their last mission and it started getting colder, with frost visible on the roadside in the early morning.
Winter was coming again, they vaguely rembered that they went to Masya when winter ca last year.
The result was a trek in the snow for over a month, creating an indelible mory for everyone.
But at this ti last year, they should have already arrived at the capital of Masya, Galan.
When Luo’er thought of Galan, he thought of lia.
When he thought of lia and Galan, Luo’er would inevitably recall his ambiguous relationship with lia.
Unexpectedly, a year later, this young princess actually had her own territory and even established her own army.
lia’s ambitions never changed, just as they were more than a year ago, as they are now.
Her love affair with Luo’er was simply a pure flower on her path to success, and that roadside wildflower would still warm her heart when she looks back after achieving success.
On the second day of their travels by carriage, the sky began to snow heavily.
Their journey had to be delayed, originally a two-day journey, they had to walk for three days to finally reach their destination.
They arrived at their base at noon, and Li Si had been waiting for them at the door.
Upon seeing them arrive, he warmly greeted them and led them into the villa.
“Where is Wang Xu?” Luo’er asked.
“Oh, the boss is in the office sorting out so docunts, he will co to see you guys later, you guys follow first,” Li Si answered.
“So about our power transition for the team leader…” Luo’er asked anxiously.
“You guys can just decide on such things yourselves, why do you need to report it to the headquarters?” Li Si asked with a bitter smile.
“He’s just like that, sotis you really can’t comprehend him.” Cheng Ziang shrugged and said helplessly.
“Where are we going?” Hu Daoke carelessly asked.
“Oh, you can wait in the eting room, the boss has sothing to ntion.” Li Si replied.
They arrived at the entrance of the eting room along the corridor, then Li Si opened the door and let them in.
Soon as they walked in, they saw a few familiar figures.
Sitting in front of the long conference table were so old faces.
They were all from the Heresy Tribunal Army and had crossed swords with Luo’er in Saint Basaya before.
Legion leader of the Tribunal Army, Dina Varail, the Grand Mage Hillna Fuyiros from the Tribunal Army, and Executive Officer Kroel Kneibar, these three major figures of the Tribunal Army were sitting peacefully in the eting room.
Seeing them, Yalunte instinctively flashed back, hiding behind the door.
Seeing their appearance, the reactions of the Advance Team were not much better.
Luo’er instinctively took a step back, then put his hand on the position of the gun holster around his waist, looked at them frowning and said, “What a small world!”
“What…
What?” Hillna didn’t understand his Chinese, so she frowningly asked.
“Wait, wait, don’t panic, we’re on the sa side!” Seeing this situation, Li Si quickly ca between them and hurriedly explained.
“Our own?” In spite of knowing about the cooperation between the headquarters and the Church Court, he still felt surprised.
“They’re here this ti because they have a mission to cooperate with us, everyone don’t panic!” Li Si said to them.
“What goes around cos around, like a rat standing up to a cat!” Hu Daoke revealed a mocking smile.
“Could you communicate in a language we understand!” Hillna asked with a frown.
“I’m sorry, I haven’t had ti to clear up the misunderstanding between you.” Li Si turned around and said apologetically.
Luo’er pulled Li Si aside and asked in a low voice, “You calling them here, aren’t you afraid they’ll find out it was us who took Arya’s Blade?”
“Don’t worry, we aren’t the only ones hunting Arya’s Blade, in the end it beca unsolved case, they have no evidence to prove that we took Arya’s Blade.” Li Si reassured.
“What did they co for?” Luo’er asked with a frown.
“I’m not sure, we’ll have to wait for the boss to explain.” Li Si replied.
“Everyone is here,” As the two were talking, speak of the devil and he shall appear.
Wang Xu appeared at the door holding a stack of docunts and asked them, “What are you standing around for, co in!”
“Uh, I’m not going in, I plan not to carry out the mission with the Advance Team this ti.” Facing Dina, Yalunte said a bit awkwardly.
“Alright,” Wang Xu glanced at him and understood imdiately.
He patted Yalunte on the shoulder and told him, “You go rest first, later I’ll assign you a separate job.”
“Thanks!” Yalunte nodded, relieved and left the eting room.
When everyone had entered the eting room, Li Si closed the door.
At this ti, the five n of the Advance Team sat on one side, while the three n of the Tribunal Army sat opposite.
As the host, Wang Xu glanced from left to right, then cleared his throat and said, “I think everybody should have acquainted themselves by now, no need for to introduce further.”
“I still don’t know what they’re called?” Hillna said discontentedly.
“Sorry,” Wang Xu bowed slightly, then introduced, “This is Captain Luo’er of the Advance Team, a half-elf hybrid.
This is Cheng Ziang, Tangmo, Baiyue, Hu Daoke.”
“A bunch of freaks!” Hillna muttered under her breath, she had a bias against hybrids of other races, especially elf hybrids.
Sharp-eared Wang Xu heard her grumble.
He coughed and said sternly, “Miss Hillna, please do not attack my team mbers personally.
If you insist on doing so, then we have no choice but to abandon this cooperation.
I hope you understand that these people are all our mbers, your insult to them is an insult to the entire Otherworld General Staff Headquarters.
This is the first ti, I don’t need your apology, but I don’t want to hear it a second ti!”
On this issue, Wang Xu’s protection of his team was no less stronger than Luo’er’s.
Especially Luo’er, whom he had always regarded as his own, how could he tolerate others insulting him.
“You!” Hillna was about to explode, but was imdiately stopped by Kroel.
“Hillna, apologize to them, and then shut up!” Kroel said indifferently, displaying his deanor as the highest leader.
“Apologize to them?” Hillna pointed at them and asked loudly.
“Yes, any objections?” Kroel gazed at her, his face expressionless as an ancient well.
Hillna clenched her teeth and took several deep breaths, the twisted expression on her face gradually fading.
After hesitating for a long ti, she had no choice but to lower her proud head and apologized: “I’m very sorry that my ignorant remarks have hurt you.
Here I offer my sincerest apology and hope to get your forgiveness.”
