Chapter 747: Chapter 740: Suspicion of Treason

After Fulajie’er returned, two transport planes immediately seceded from the Asirens and went back to the supply ship in the rear.

As soon as the transport plane stabilized, Fulajie’er did not wait for Baiyue and Hu Daoke to disembark. She rushed to find Luo’er.

After wandering around the airship for a long time, she finally saw Luo’er taking a leisure break in a corridor. She appeared by his side and affectionately called: "Luo’er, I’m back."

"Back already, did Yue’er and the others return as well?" Hearing Fulajie’er’s voice, Luo’er immediately showed a smile and asked.

"Yes yes," Fulajie’er nodded hurriedly, then anxiously said to Luo’er, "Luo’er, Luo’er, don’t board that airship, it’s very dangerous."

"Why do you say that?" Luo’er asked after a moment of surprise.

"Because, because," Fulajie’er said anxiously, "That guy, what’s his name, Mu Lansi, he’s in league with the hijackers."

"Are you sure?" Upon hearing Fulajie’er’s words, Luo’er’s face changed instantly, and he seriously asked her.

"Yes yes," Fulajie’er nodded hurriedly, then earnestly said, "I saw, I saw him with those guys, and they were all courteous towards him, and they were whispering together very closely."

"What were they saying?" Luo’er pursued.

"I don’t understand!" Fulajie’er said, looking distressed.

"All right." Luo’er nodded in understanding. Both Mu Lansi and the hijackers were dwarves, so they were surely speaking the Dwarven language. Fulajie’er was from the ancient states, she even had an accent when speaking Tasta. It would be a miracle if she understood Dwarven.

"Did you see anything else?" After pondering for a moment, Luo’er asked again.

"Um, um, um," Fulajie’er eagerly searched her memory. Suddenly she remembered something and said, "Yes, yes! There doesn’t seem to be anyone being held captive up there, everyone is busy with their own work. I circled the airship and it seemed like nothing had happened."

"What do you mean?" Luo’er asked, looking stunned by Fulajie’er’s description.

"What she means is, she couldn’t distinguish between the hijackers and the hostages. In other words, the Asirens might have experienced a full-scale mutiny." At that moment, Cheng Ziang’s voice came from behind. Luo’er turned around sharply and realized he had quietly snuck up on him.

"When did you get here?" Luo’er asked.

"When Xiao Fula appeared," Cheng Ziang said indifferently.

"So what do you think?" Luo’er asked.

"It’s clear that the situation is progressing in the direction we anticipated. It’s unlikely that the Asirens were hijacked by the Zhuyan people. Instead, it seems like a complete mutiny. As to why they would mutiny, if I’m not mistaken, it should be related to that Mu Lansi," Cheng Ziang said with a cold smile.

"So, you think Mu Lansi provoked the Asirens to rebel, then they joined the Zhuyan people?" Luo’er asked, looking at him, his eyebrows furrowed.

"The information we currently have only indicates this, unless you don’t believe the intelligence Fula provided," Cheng Ziang shrugged and said.

"Luo’er, Luo’er, I’m not lying!" Fulajie’er, feeling wronged by Cheng Ziang’s words, argued.

"No no, I’m not doubting you." Luo’er waved his hands and replied, slipping into deep thought.

"Have you decided what to do?" Cheng Ziang asked.

"So, what you’re saying is," Luo’er looked at Cheng Ziang and said seriously, "if we go aboard the ship to rescue people, it’s as if we’re charging into enemy territory and aiming for the enemy leader?"

"That’s how I see it, so since things have developed to this point, it’s better to let Commander Reimer shoot down the Asirens. As the crown prince, Mu Lansi colluded with the Zhuyan People, betraying Ronisca, and doesn’t deserve to live," Cheng Ziang replied in an indifferent tone.

"No, no, no, we can’t do that." Luo’er waved his hand in disagreement.

"What do you suggest then?" Cheng Ziang asked.

Luo’er took deep breath, then responded calmly: "Whether Mu Lansi has defected is an internal affair of Ronisca, we shouldn’t interfere. Also, without convincing evidence, it’s rash to accuse Mu Lansi of treason. Should this poorly handled, could easily destroy the cooperation between the Headquarters and Ronisca."

"So?" Cheng Ziang asked.

"The current situation has gone beyond our responsibilities. The only thing we can do is report the intelligence to the Headquarters, allowing them to combine it with existing information and liaise with Ronisca to derive a final plan. We cannot, based on our own speculations, decide the lives and deaths of Mu Lansi and hundreds of people aboard the Asirens—that’s a burden we cannot bear," Luo’er explained.

"That’s exactly what I thought," hearing Luo’er’s analysis made Cheng Ziang relieved. He nodded and looked at him with a smile, "I just wanted to see if you caught on."

"Do you really see me as a child?" Luo’er responded with a bitter smile.

"Luo’er, I didn’t lie." Fulajie’er timidly added from the side.

"I know," hearing Fulajie’er’s voice made Luo’er’s heart soften. He held out his hands and she obediently sat in his palms. He looked at her and softly said, "Thank you so much this time. Without your help, we probably would have gone the wrong way."

"Hehehe, this is what I should do." Fulajie’er scratched her head bashfully. Even though she constantly claimed that Luo’er didn’t care about her, she was at a loss when faced with his softness.

Swiftly, Luo’er sent a long magic messenger to the Headquarters, explaining their current situation and the problems they faced. Once done, he quickly gathered everyone from the Advance Team into a room for a meeting to discuss this mission, specifically aiming to avoid Reimer.

"So, if we go rescue them now, it’ll be like a lamb going into a lion’s den?" Hu Daoke’s eyes widened at Luo’er’s description, he blurted out.

"Quiet down," Cheng Ziang hit him lightly and told him in a stern tone, "Don’t forget Reimer speaks Chinese."

"Even so," Luo’er sighed, and continued, "but until Headquarters gives the order, we still need to make active plans for this rescue mission."

Tangmo’s eyebrows were furrowed, she sat silently next to Luo’er. A blue hairpin on her brow showed that she was her sister Momo at the moment.

"Do you have something to say?" Cheng Ziang noticed the silent Tangmo and couldn’t help but ask.

He knew that compared to her sister Moumou, this younger sister was much more adept at strategizing. Her sister was a magic expert while this sister excelled in tactical planning.

"What I was thinking is, if Feng uses the magic technique that she used at the Door of Annihilation on the northern part of the Asirens, could we bring down the Asirens with a single hit?" Tangmo glanced at him and said coldly.

"Wait, are we really shooting it down?" Hu Daoke asked, his eyes wide open.

"I think no matter how the situation develops, the Asirens will inevitably be shot down. It has only two fates—either we capture Mu Lansi then shoot down the Asirens, or, disregard Mu Lansi’s life and shoot down the Asirens directly," Tangmo looked around at everyone, analytically saying.

"It wouldn’t go that far, would it?" Hu Daoke asked, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"If you all were the top decision-makers of Ronisca, would you find Mu Lansi’s life more important, or the secrets of the anti-gravity engine?" Tangmo looked at everyone and analytically continued: "After a few days, the Asirens will leave Saint Basaya’s airspace and enter the territory of the Zhuyan People. The Zhuyan People probably have already deployed anti-aircraft firepower on the ground. At that time, whether it’s about rescuing or shooting down the Asirens, I think it will be too late by then."
