"Hahaha! How could Lord Caspian have the time to bother with you people?! The more you say that, the more I want to kill them!" Lacey said arrogantly.
No matter what, she refused to believe that the farmer before her could be Caspian's mother.
Such a thing sounded like a fantasy.
At this point, Aria and the others had already lost their strength to continue fighting.
However, they didn't fall down but just stood in place.
"When Lord Caspian arrives, he'll definitely kill all of you!" Aria said fiercely, her eyes flashing with coldness.
Celian's subordinates were intimidated by Aria's powerful force.
But they didn't believe her words. How could such a prominent figure like Caspian come to a small place like Churron?
"Fight back! Kill all of them!" Lacey saw that her men were hesitating and became angry.
The subordinates didn't dare to defy her wishes. They raised their weapons before charging toward Aria and the others.
"Lord Caspian, Captain Laina, we did our best!" Aria said before closing her eyes.
The other four also waited for the final slaughter. They had no more strength to fight back.
It was just a pity that they hadn't managed to hold on until Caspian appeared.
Sherry and the others saw that Aria and her team had lost their strength, but those thugs still continued to attack.
Sherry and Cecilia couldn't bear to watch any longer.
Just as Aria and the others were about to be killed, there was suddenly a deafening roar in the sky!
The thunderous sound caught everyone's attention.
They all involuntarily looked up at the sky.
They saw five military green fighter jets appearing in the sky.
The jets were majestic, causing everyone to freeze in place.
The thugs who were about to attack Aria froze in place as they were stunned by the commotion in the sky.
Lacey, Fergus, and Blake were also shocked to see the sudden appearance of the fighter jets.
Sherry, Cecilia, and Miranda were overjoyed when they saw the fighter jets. They all thought that maybe Caspian had sent troops to rescue them.
When Aria and the others saw this, they were relieved. They were very certain that this was Caspian's troops!
They had fulfilled their mission and managed to hold on until Caspian appeared!
"Mom, what's going on with those five fighter jets?" Blake asked nervously.
"Maybe there's a war in Diatoran, and these jets are going there to offer support," Lacey explained.
"But didn't they say that Diatoran has repelled all enemy forces? How could there still be a war?" Blake asked.
"Who knows? Those neighboring countries always like to cause trouble for Diatoran. Maybe there's a conflict at the border," she said casually.
However, to be on the safe side, Lacey immediately called her father to find out the truth.
She absolutely couldn't imagine that these five fighter jets were here to deal with her!
…
At this time, the memorial ceremony in Southlake City had already ended.
Jerry saw that his daughter had called him.
He walked to a corner and answered the phone.
"Lacey, why did you suddenly call me? What's the matter?" Jerry asked.
"Dad, don't worry. How could I cause trouble for you? You can return to your work first and we'll talk later." Before Jerry could answer, Lacey hung up the phone.
She put away her phone and shouted to everyone, "Don't worry. These fighter jets are just temporarily landing in Churron. They have nothing to do with us."
When Celian's subordinates heard this, they felt reassured.
If these jets were really meant to deal with them, then they would surely be doomed.
However, upon careful consideration, they also felt it was unlikely. They were a group of thugs and were simply not worth the deployment of these military aircraft.
Upon hearing Lacey's words, Sherry and the others felt somewhat disappointed.
These aircraft weren't sent by Caspian.
But Aria didn't think so. In her opinion, these jets were indeed Caspian's troops. When she was on her mission, the aircraft had already been deployed. Calculating the time, they should've arrived by now.
Just then, the five aircraft pierced through the clouds and began to descend.
"See, these military aircraft are already preparing to land," Lacey said triumphantly.
"Mrs. Jessop is indeed amazing to know such military secrets!" Kent praised.
"Of course! My dad is a high-ranking official in Diatoran." Lacey was proud.
"The aircraft are really cool!"
"Yeah! If only I could go up and take a ride!"
Ordinary people had never seen military aircraft before, so everyone was discussing them excitedly in the sky.
Just then, the aircraft all opened their doors in the sky.
Then, one by one, special forces soldiers with parachutes strapped to their backs leaped out.
Those special forces soldiers descended from the sky!
