"What's going on, sir?"
Nearly an hour and 40 minutes later, the fully armed Colson opened the car door and stood beside Merlin. Behind him, more than a dozen black official cars parked at the intersection of Queens. Further away, police officers from the New York Police Department were laying out roadblocks and blockade lines.
Merlin recruited a closed theater on the street as a temporary command center. At this time, he had sent Peter home and stood in front of the theater.
I changed into clean and bloodless clothes, but the murderous intent of being indulged is still some of the remaining ones.
So much so that when Colson approached Merlin, he felt a little cold.
But that might be just an illusion. When Merlin turned around, what Colson saw was the same as before.
Colson asked with a worried look:
"I saw your suspension notice on the internal network, this is"
"That's just a small matter, Colson."
Merlin waved his hand and said to Colson:
"You should be more concerned about what's next than my business. Tonight, you are the commander. This is the first time you have directed such a large-scale operation. There will be the Aurors from the Demon French Association to help me. I mean, you'd better prepare in advance."
As he spoke, Merlin sent a picture to Colson's mobile phone. It was an electronic map of Queens. On that map, there were more than a dozen red marks of large and small sizes.
"This is all vampire strongholds in Queens. You have 20 minutes to think about your action strategy now. I'll come to those most dangerous strongholds in person."
Merlin patted Colson on the shoulder and said:
"Are there any weapons brought?"
"Well, it's in the trunk of our car."
Colson frowned while looking at the map:
"Every agent has one, and it will be handed over after the mission is over. The strangely named 'Vampire Hunter Armed Package' has also been distributed, basically one for each person."
"very good." : :
Merlin walked to Colson's car, opened the trunk, and searched in the box with hunting weapons, and finally picked up a black double-barrel hunting rifle.
This thing is slow to fill, with a slightly less accurate, but it is very powerful, which is exactly what Merlin needs.
"Sir, I saw your suspension notice. What's going on?"
A slightly cold voice sounded behind Merlin. Merlin, holding a hunting rifle and two boxes of Elsa's handmade sacred silver bullets, turned around and saw Sharon wearing a black stabbing suit, a tactical helmet, two silver daggers inserted between his waist, and a silver crossbow in his hand.
The latter's face that looked very similar to Ms. Carter was now confused.
Obviously, Sharon was also confused and curious about Merlin's sudden suspension.
She knew how good the relationship between Merlin and Fury was in private, and they had always cooperated well in business. Merlin was one of the best agents under Director Fury, so why was he suddenly suspended?
Moreover, the suspension notice was issued by Director Fury's office.
This is weird!
"Nothing big."
Merlin said calmly:
"It's just some scrutiny things, you're an insider, you should know that I did something in Afghanistan, which caused the turmoil inside CIA to be better after a while."
"Oh? Really?"
Sharon frowned. The girl inherited the innate keen perception of her aunt. She frowned and looked at Chief Merlin who was leaving in a hurry. She always felt that there was something strange in this matter.
At least it is not as simple as Chief Merlin said.
More than ten minutes later, in the on-site command of this operation, that is, Agent Colson's gaze, more than 40 Aurors riding magic brooms and flying carpets fell from all directions around the temporary command center of s.d.o.l.d.
In the past few years, s.d.o.l.d. has often cooperated with the Aurors to carry out some missions, so the agents in this department are no longer surprised by these combat wizards riding strange vehicles. However, this time, so many wizards have been dispatched, which has made the agents who have already prepared feel a little surprised.
"Hey, Merlin, old friend."
The fat and high-level Auror Essinus jumped off his magic carpet, and he walked to Merlin who was leaning against the wall, and greeted Merlin friendly.
"Long time no see!"
"Well, it's been quite long."
Merlin glanced at Esinus's fat belly and said:
"You really need to exercise, Lord Wizard."
"I'm a traditional wizard."
Esinus shrugged, he picked up his pipe and took a sip, and said to Merlin:
"Muscles and figures are not what we pursue, wisdom is. Speaking of which, why is this sudden this time?"
The fat wizard glanced at Merlin and frowned slightly:
"And you seem very unhappy. There is a faint smell of blood on you. I also heard that a murder occurred in a nightclub at the junction of Queens and Brooklyn a few minutes ago. The crow went to deal with it. He just told me that the place was like hell. More than 80 vampires and ghost fans died there. After all the human guests were driven out, they were burned by magic flames."
"You did that, right? Merlin, I suspect you are using the vampires in Queens as a vent, but unfortunately, I have no proof."
"No, not."
Meilin said without changing her face:
"That might be done by an unknown hero passing by. Maybe he saw the messy situation in New York. Unfortunately, it was our job, and we should have eliminated those restless risks with our own hands, right?"
"eradicate?"
Esinus savored the unfriendly word, and he said to Merlin:
"You rarely used this word before. What happened to my friend? I can feel that you seem to be looking forward to a war or a killing. This is not like you. You don't seem to be planning to continue to be a kind-hearted guardian with salvation. Why?"
Merlin glanced at the fat wizard and said:
"Because I found that the world is not friendly enough to me."
"Well"
Merlin answered that the fat wizard didn't know how to answer for a while. Merlin looked at Esinus, and he stretched out his hand and patted the fat wizard on the shoulder. He said:
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Don't worry about those vampires. They are just the dregs of shadows. They live in the shadows and just need to shoot a ray of hot enough light, and they will disappear with the shadows."
"But among those vampires, there are also those who abide by the law."
Esinus said:
"They are also part of magical creatures and are part of the ecology of the wizarding world. We have to distinguish them instead of killing all at once."
"I understand."
Merlin nodded, and he agreed:
"The fate of vampires is not something they can choose. For those vampires who have entered the shelter reserve, I will respect their lives just as I respect the lives of my fellow countrymen."
“But, this is conditional.”
Merlin looked at Esinus and said:
"The vampires who refuse to enter the shelter area are going to die!"
"There is no trial, no waiting, they are going to die, and everyone has warned the lunatics who are expecting chaos, many times, but now it seems that they do not understand the friendly reminders."
Merlin reached out and touched the black shotgun at hand. He pursed his lips. After a few seconds, he said to Esinus:
"So, this time, we remind them in other ways."
"Rules are rules. If you touch the rules, you will have to shed some blood."
Esinus's expression changed slightly, but after a moment, he nodded silently.
In recent months, these vampires have been making a little unreasonable. Maybe, we should try Merlin's murderous suggestion. Being gentle with one's will always make idiots think that Demon France will be very cowardly, which is not what Essinus wants to see.
Carrots in one hand and sticks in the other hand, this is the posture that mediators and order maintainers should have.
A few minutes later, in front of the temporary command post, 84 agents, including Merlin, were ready to set off, and the Aurors brought by Esinus were also divided into four teams in groups of 10.
As the commander, Colson stood in front of the team members. On the theater stage curtain behind him, there was a huge projection. On it was a map of Queens, and the map covered with red marks had been divided into four areas of a-d by Colson.
"Tonight we will clean up vampire strongholds that are entrenched in Queens and do not comply with the 'Alien Management Ordinance'!"
Although it was the first time Colson commanding such a large-scale operation, he had learned a lot after being with Merlin for several years. He was not nervous and used a laser pen to assign tasks to the team members below.
"I am responsible for Area A with the Spot Dogs, Agent Melinda and Claws are responsible for Area B, Agent Sharon and Knights are responsible for Area C, and finally Agent Merlin, Agent Merlin and Crown are responsible for Area D, and the specific route of action is determined by the team leader."
Colson looked at his watch and said:
"Now there are still 4 hours before dawn, which means we have to complete this cleanup operation before dawn. The good news is that the Aurors of the Magic France Association will support us as friendly forces. The bad news is that each team has to deal with 3-4 strongholds in four hours, and time is very tight."
"According to the news we received, because the operation was sudden, the vampires in those strongholds were not prepared, and the number of vampires in most strongholds would not exceed 30. This is our advantage. With the newly issued weapons and raid tactics, our movement speed will be very fast, but we still need to pay attention to self-protection."
"Next, Agent Melinda will explain to you how to use the newly distributed 'combat bag'."
Colson stepped off the stage, and Melinda, with a serious face, walked to the middle of the stage.
Merlin and Esinus stood behind the theater. Although he had been suspended, as the leader who established the s.d.o.l.d., he was watching behind him. The agents sitting in the theater seats, including Colson and Melinda, subconsciously maintained their most serious state.
"The newly issued 'battle bag' contains weapons and armor. I don't need to say more about the weapons. You have received weapon training and basically have experience in contact with vampires. What I want to say is these two bottles of potions! You both prick up your ears and listen. This is very important and it is related to your life."
Under Merlin's gaze, Melinda, who has become an elite operation expert, raised the potion in her left hand and said to the agents in a cold voice:
"This milky white thing is a weak volcano potion used for attack. It is very simple to use, just throw it out, but it is very powerful. It will trigger a small-scale flame storm, which can basically eliminate all the vampires around you at one time, but be careful! You will also be damaged by the flames yourself, so when using it, you must master the opportunity."
"And then this one!"
Melinda raised the potion in her right hand, he said:
"This gray liquid is a shadow protective agent, which is an auxiliary protective gear. The method of using it is also very simple. Twist the lid and drink a sip, a small sip. Don't drink too much, it will stimulate your respiratory mucosa and it will be very painful."
"A bottle of potion can be used for about 10 times, each time lasts for 30 minutes. It can reduce your chances of being discovered in the dark and help you immunize viruses on vampires' teeth. That is to say, even if you are bitten, you will not become a semi-vampire, but be careful!" Mobile::
The female agent's voice became more serious, and she reminded:
"This potion can only save you 10-15 attacks from vampires at a time. That is to say, when fighting, you should still avoid them. Of course, you can also use volcano potion or grenades with garlic essence before they pounce on them!"
"The last point is also the requirement of this action!"
Melinda shouted:
"This is a deterrent purge, so we don't accept any captives!"
"Do all the elite agents of s.d.o.l.d. understand what I mean?"
"clear!"
The sound of answers echoed in the theater. The people sitting here were field agents who had participated in the battle. How could they not understand the commander's meaning?
The meaning of the sir is very simple
That is to kill all the vampires they saw!
This order made the agents who were exhausted by the continuous incidents of vampires during this period of time. The agents who could choose to enter s.d.o.l.d. were all soldiers who were not afraid of aliens at all. They had already been stubborn enough to be vampires who were doing nothing.
"Your subordinates look cold."
Fat wizard Esinus suddenly said:
"I didn't have much contact with this Agent Melinda before, she looked a little cold-blooded."
“Melinda and Sharon, including me, are SHIELD’s operational experts.”
Merlin replied softly:
"And cold-blooded is our tradition."
"Of course, Colson didn't do well enough at this point, but it doesn't matter, he has enough time to grow."
A few minutes later, Merlin led his squad to the first target in District D, a gathering place for vampires disguised as a bar.
Merlin made several gestures in the faint light to make the agents behind him ready to enter. He looked at the inconspicuous bar door in front of him and said softly:
"Kunin"
Chapter completed!
