682: Chapter 675: Long Ti No See 682: Chapter 675: Long Ti No See Next to the small town was a camp, with rows of neatly lined up soldiers in the wide drill field.
There were checkpoints and watchtowers along the outskirts of the town, guarded by dedicated soldiers.
Seeing the arrival of the transport plane, the soldiers on the ground seed a little nervous, yet they did not show any hostility.
Instead, they rushed to each other to relay the news of the arrival of the transport plane, passing it on from one level to the next.
Given that the entire continent only has the Ronisca Air Force wielding aerial vehicles, and Ronisca is one of the headquarters’ partners, any sensible soldier would be able to tell that the plane was not hostile and probably belonged to the headquarters.
Since the soldiers on the ground did not show any hostility, Luo’er naturally did not need to worry about friendly fire.
He directly ordered the pilot to land in the field closest to Princess lia’s mansion.
Watching the massive chanical beast slowly descend to the ground, the soldiers on the ground were slightly uneasy.
They surrounded the transport plane with weapons in their hands, but their muzzles were always pointing down.
Among the soldiers of Princess lia’s army, a certain proportion were Blaiqi people, also known by otherworlders as false otherworlders.
Having grown up with Earth’s knowledge and insights, they naturally found the arrival of an airplane not surprising.
After the transport plane ca to a halt, Luo’er pushed open the hatch and was the first one to disembark.
Seeing Luo’er’s appearance, the soldiers instinctively took a step back but continued to watch him warily.
One officer ca up cautiously and asked Luo’er carefully, “May I ask for your identity and origin?”
“We are Shani people, ssengers from the headquarters.
Please inform Princess lia, an old friend wishes to see her,”Luo’er said calmly.
“Yes, right away.” On hearing the term ‘Shani people’ and ‘headquarters’, the officer imdiately showed respect, promptly gave a military salute and turned to run towards lia’s mansion.
After Luo’er disembarked, the rest of the Advance Team followed suit.
Feng, having spotted the many people with weapons surrounding him once he exited the plane, was imdiately on alert and ready to draw his sword, stopped just in ti by Cheng Ziang.
“Don’t be reckless; it could lead to accidental discharge,” said Cheng Ziang calmly facing Feng’s puzzled look.
Although he knew that Feng could probably obliterate everyone present if he gave his all, doing so would cause serious problems.
After all, Princess lia and her army were important pieces on the headquarters’ chessboard.
Offending them could result in the headquarters losing its foothold in the Masaya Kingdom, and they would have to watch as the countries of NATO nurtured rebels to overthrow the Masaya monarchy.
Soti later, a figure on horseback appeared in the distance.
They stopped just outside the circle surrounding the staging area, barely dismounting the horse before rushing into the circle.
All the soldiers consciously cleared a path when they saw her.
lia appeared to have just been notified of Luo’er’s arrival and had not even had ti to change her clothes.
Her hair was also sowhat ssy.
She was still wearing her simple dress with a tight vest on the upper body, looking very neat.
Her long hair was tied into a basic ponytail, but the ssy strands revealed her haste.
She walked briskly, lifting her skirt, wearing a pair of dark brown boots on her feet.
Luo’er noticed that there was a delicate ladies’ pistol on her waist belt, a gift from the headquarters given in his na, so it could be regarded as a gift from him.
She walked up to Luo’er excitedly, a joyful expression on her face.
She was panting fiercely, her mouth slightly open, but she didn’t know what to say first.
Luo’er looked at the little princess standing before him.
They had not seen each other for about a year, and lia had obviously matured a lot.
Her forrly chubby face was now a shade thinner, tugging at his heartstrings, and her pure face had an added hint of weariness.
She had a few more freckles on her face, but they did not detract from her beauty.
Even without makeup, Luo’er did not find her appearance repulsive.
Perhaps it was just his feeling, but Luo’er always thought that when lia faced him, she completely lost the arrogance of a noble and had gained so feminine tenderness instead.
“Why wasn’t I notified about your visit by the headquarters?” After a long silence, lia was the first to break the ice.
“Uh, well, we made a last-minute decision to co.” Luo’er scratched his head awkwardly.
“So, you wanted to see ?” lia squinted her eyes, a smile almost overflowing from her face.
“Sort of,” Luo’er coughed, avoiding lia’s expectant gaze with a hint of guilt, and stamred, “Actually, there’s so business too…”
“I thought as much…” lia lowered her head, a trace of disappointnt flickering across her beaming face.
The conversation fell into a brief silence, and Luo’er felt the atmosphere growing awkward.
He coughed again and said, “You seem a lot more mature than when I saw you a year ago.
Nevertheless, you also seem a bit haggard.”
At his words, lia lifted her head, her affectionate gaze fixed on Luo’er.
She opened her mouth as if to say sothing but ended up pursing her lips and lowering her head again.
“Luo’er, we’re here seeking help.” Tangmo, seated next to him, reminded expressionlessly.
She knew Luo’er was trying to build rapport with lia, but she hated to see it.
lia was different from other girls, and Tangmo was wary of her.
While Tangmo wasn’t concerned about the other girls stealing Luo’er, she was particularly wary and worried about lia.
Unlike others, lia had the ans and ability to snatch Luo’er away.
Even Momo, who was more capable than her, had chosen to lose control rather than sche upon seeing the intimate mont between Luo’er and lia.
This signified that both Momo and Tangmo saw lia as a formidable rival.
“Do you have a favor to ask of ?” Hearing Tangmo’s words, lia looked at Luo’er and asked.
She seed completely unaffected by Tangmo, or rather, she didn’t pay any attention to her at all.
“Uh, yes, we have sothing…” Faced with lia’s gaze, Luo’er stamred.
Before he could finish, Cheng Ziang nudged him gently from behind, prompting him to hastily correct himself, “Actually, we also wanted to see you.
After all, we haven’t seen each other for nearly a year.”
Upon hearing his words, although she knew they were not heartfelt, the smile on lia’s face only grew, and her eyes curved into beautiful crescents.
As the captain of the Advance Team, Luo’er, who devoted himself entirely to work, had no ti or energy to pay attention to romantic relationships.
Even lia was only rembered when Cheng Ziang actively ntioned her.
Of course, had he been genuinely straightforward, lia would likely have been upset.
So Cheng Ziang repeatedly reminded him on the plane to speak so sweet nothings when eting lia.
As long as they received help, even putting up an act was acceptable.
For Luo’er, lia’s position in his heart was always fuzzy.
Unlike other girls who expressed a simple gratitude towards Luo’er, his feelings for lia were complicated.
Luo’er couldn’t say how much he liked her, but every ti he thought of her, his heart would inadvertently race.
Unlike with other girls, his feelings for them being simple, his feelings for lia were complicated – so complex that he couldn’t even explain why.
