The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 681

Everyone was stunned by the sight of countless paratroopers landing.

"Aren't these fighter jets supposed to land temporarily in Churron? Why are people jumping out of them?"

"Exactly! The fighter jets haven't arrived at the airport yet, so what are these paratroopers going to do after jumping out?"

"It seems that they're planning to land here!"

"What on Earth is going on?"

Everyone outside the factory started to discuss among themselves as they did not know what was going on.

The Jessop family members inside the factory were also feeling afraid upon seeing this.

"Mom! Look, paratroopers are suddenly leaping out of the fighter jets. You called Grandpa just now, didn't you? Aren't those jets supposed to land temporarily in Churron?" Blake asked in confusion.

"I don't know what's going on either. Maybe they're in the middle of a military drill," Lacey answered.

She was unsure about that too.

"I think something's not right, darling. Why did the fighter jets just happen to pass by where we are? Why did paratroopers jump out of the jets? Did you not ask the right questions?" Fergus asked.

"Dad's right! If the soldiers come here and see what's going on here, they surely won't just stand there and watch!" Blake said, worried.

Lacey nodded. She found that to be true, and that made her feel anxious at that moment. That was why she planned to call her father again so that she could get some clear answers.

Sherry, Cecilia, and Miranda were extremely surprised to see the paratroopers who appeared all of a sudden. If they could land safely, they would surely put a stop to this.

…

On a memorial hill in Southlake City, Jerry pocketed his phone as he stood beside the King. At this moment, his phone rang again. When he saw that it was his daughter who was calling again, he somewhat resignedly went away and took the call.

"What now, Lacey?"

"Dad, some paratroopers are leaping out of the fighter jets and landing in Churron! Why is this happening?" Lacey went straight to the point.

"What? Paratroopers?" Jerry asked, somewhat confused.

"Yeah! Didn't you tell me that these jets would land temporarily in Churron? Why would these paratroopers go the extra mile and jump out of their aircraft, then?"

"Who knows? Maybe they're in the middle of a military drill," Jerry said calmly.

"It's too sudden for it to be part of a military drill. Is there another secret mission or something that you don't know about?" Lacey asked.

"I'm not the commander, so I don't know much either. These paratroopers are none of your business anyway, so why are you so panicked?" Jerry suddenly realized that something was not right. He then asked the question.

"What should I do if they want to do something to me?" Lacey asked nervously.

"How's this related to you?" Jerry asked, bemused.

"The soldiers are landing near where I am. I'm at the abandoned factory on the northern side of the city," Lacey explained.

"Why did you go there? Tell me! Are you keeping something from me?" Jerry said sternly. He knew his daughter well, and there was something off with her tone. She must have stirred up some trouble.

"No, I'm not!" Lacey denied her father's accusation immediately.
