Chapter 281: The Romanian Laboratory (Part 8)

Carrier Jones, maintenance crew were busy with sortie preparations.

The Sven trio, who happened to be strolling in the hangar, saw the Xia sisters enter their respective units and rise to the deck via the elevator.

And on the other side, the Full Armor Raider Gundam was also entering the sortie sequence.

"Another special mission?" The heavily made-up Mudie complained casually. "That guy Neo has been acting mysterious lately..."

"Yeah." Shams interjected. "Last time he went out, he brought back a strange woman. I don't know what he's going to bring back this time?"

"I'm also curious." Mudie chewed a piece of gum and continued, "I hope it won't be another strange woman."

Just then, the three saw Li Boyong wearing a helmet and Badgiruel wearing a mask enter the hangar, preparing to board the Full Armor Raider.

Shams said casually, "Colonel, if there's any good mission to earn merit next time, don't forget to bring us along. It's too cunning to hog it all to yourself."

Li Boyong laughed upon hearing this. "There will be one soon, I'm just afraid you won't dare to do it then."

"That's being a stranger. We intend to follow you, Colonel." Shams continued to boast, but it might not be what he was thinking in his heart.

The surrounding soldiers couldn't help but show a trace of agreement, and even the usually cold Sven gave a soft "hmm."

After all, following this superior was truly convincing.

Especially those Phantom Pain pilots from special institutions, although they had considerable strength, they had always been squeezed out and neglected by their superiors.

It was only after Li Boyong took over that he treated them as his own, which could be clearly seen from their usual treatment and attitude.

Plus, he himself had outstanding technology and often led the charge. He had a strong background in military headquarters and always received preferential treatment from the logistics department in terms of supplies.

After fighting big and small battles with him since the war started, they were all pleasant victories, and compared to other units, their unit's attrition was relatively much lower.

Such a superior could be considered a unique treasure in the Alliance.

"Fine, I'll remember those words."

Not taking Shams's boasting to heart, Li Boyong entered the unit.

At this time, the Xia sisters' units took off one after another on the deck. The Rosso Aegis in cruise state grabbed the Nero Blitz and flew toward the north, followed immediately by Li Boyong's Full Armor Raider Gundam.

Watching the distant shadows, Shams suddenly laughed, clapping his hands while winking at his girlfriend. "You say the Colonel and that Orb liaison officer..."

"Disgusting, you're never serious all day. Can't you learn from Sven?" Mudie rolled her eyes.

Shams complained, "That's not being serious, that's being emotionless."

After taking off from the Jones, Li Boyong piloted the unit for about thirty minutes and landed at the agreed-upon location.

This time, only one Freedom came from the Archangel. After Li Boyong and Badgiruel got off the Full Armor Raider, Kira also brought Cagalli to the ground.

Looking at Cagalli, who was wearing an Orb military uniform today and standing tall in the wind, Li Boyong had a premonition in his heart.

The four looked at each other. Badgiruel nodded slightly toward Kira and Cagalli's probing gazes.

Kira and Cagalli were both relieved. Even though they knew the special relationship between Badgiruel and Li Boyong, they had deep trust in Badgiruel's judgment and character.

"Yo, we meet again." Li Boyong said bluntly. "I believe Representative Athha has already made a decision, so let me listen to your reply now."

Cagalli's face was firm, and under Kira's encouraging gaze, she said slowly, "I agree to your request."

After a pause, Cagalli continued, "However, if your path deviates from the philosophy of Kira and the others, I will not hesitate to terminate the cooperation with you."

"That goes without saying." Li Boyong agreed without any hesitation.

Because he knew that not only were their philosophies the same, but even in terms of interests that were hard to talk about, there was no conflict.

After all, he was ultimately a passerby in this world and would leave the CE century sooner or later, having no need for any interests.

His purpose was always to ensure the safety of himself and his team to survive this world, and incidentally, to save this world.

"Then it's a deal." Li Boyong took a mask out of his pocket. "Before I control Yuna Roma Seiran, I'll have to wrong Representative Athha for now."

————

Port Said.

The Full Armor Raider whistled through the air, then completed its transformation and landed steadily on the deck of the Jones.

After the elevator brought the unit into the hangar, Li Boyong left the cockpit with Badgiruel and Cagalli.

The maintenance crew on the side were stunned. How did one go out and bring back an Orb female officer, and this one looked like a little girl?

Was their own superior really not using the name of an allied liaison officer to bring his mistress onto the ship?

Was this some new way to play?

However, the maintenance crew didn't dare to show it, just lowered their heads and pretended they didn't see anything.

Li Boyong had no time to care about the maintenance crew's speculation. He said to Badgiruel, "You take her to rendezvous with Wang Liumei first. I'll go arrange for Seiran to come over."

"Understood." Badgiruel nodded.

Cagalli prepared to follow, but hesitated and whispered to Li Boyong, "If possible, please don't hurt Yuna's life."

The little girl was still soft-hearted at this time, but he didn't intend to kill Yuna anyway; after all, he still needed a hostage to check the Seiran clan leader—Unato—in Orb.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in the life of a clown." After evaluating Cagalli's fiancé with disdain, Li Boyong turned and left the hangar.

He picked up the communicator, selected some loyal and reliable Phantom Pain pilots and soldiers, and notified them to come to the pilot meeting immediately.

Among them, the Sven trio was definitely included.

Ten minutes later, the Phantom Pain pilots and soldiers notified by Li Boyong were gathered in the conference room. After the last person stepped into the conference room, the door of the conference room was sealed.

At this moment, unless Li Boyong agreed, no one could break in or leave the conference room until he finished the meeting.

Standing on the podium, Li Boyong, wearing a helmet, looked at the soldiers sitting upright in the seats below and said in a serious tone, "Gentlemen, from now on, we need to carry out a very important mission."

After a pause, seeing that everyone was listening to him attentively, Li Boyong continued, "That is, to seize control of the Orb fleet."

For a time, the Phantom Pain soldiers in the conference room couldn't help but whisper.

On the other side, the Xia sisters successfully rendezvoused with the Serpent Tail mercenary group and successfully infiltrated Romania. ===== CHAPTER 282 =====
