CHAPTER 630 RETREAT?
CHAPTER 630 RETREAT?
Rumble!
The timing and location of the Thunderball was indeed very unexpected. Magneto only had time to shrink the scope of the defense field around his body, and the next moment, his body was covered by large arcs of lightning.
This time, Storm almost used up her ability to create this Thunderball that was much more powerful than before, and the unguarded Magneto could only dodge them for a while.
Hum~
When Magneto was attacked by the Thunderball that suddenly rushed in front of him, the energy fluctuation he had previously released also disappeared. It seems that Magneto can’t always maintain a state of suppressing the enemy in all directions.
Sensing the lifting of the pressure from Magneto’s field, Professor Charles, who was enveloped by Iceman’s Absolute Ice Domain spoke.
“Iceman, release your domain!” Professor Charles said to Iceman beside him.
Brush!
As soon as he heard Professor Charles’ words, Iceman lifted his own field. Although HE only maintained the field for a short while, but Iceman is as tired as Storm right now!
Because he released the Absolute Ice Domain not only to block Magneto’s suppression but also to protect the safety of Professor Charles and others inside. Therefore, his control of the field needed to be high, without the slightest instability factor.
Even so, after Iceman lifted the Absolute Ice Domain, Rogers and others were left with a fairly thin layer of ice on their bodies. If it were not for their own physique which is far beyond ordinary people, they would have gotten some frostbites on their bodies.
Huhu!
When Magneto on the ground was temporarily trapped because of Professor Charles’s sudden action, the military Jets that had lost control and were about to crash on the ground also seized this opportunity to control their Jets and rushed towards the sky.
This time, they probably planned to leave without looking back. In order to save Stryker, the military has paid a high price. But they still underestimated Magneto’s determination this time.
Even with the strength that the Military had just revealed today, it was not enough to subdue Magneto, who was making a short work of their strongest Soldiers.
“Is it really over?” On the ground, Professor Charles, who watched the more than a dozen military Jets fly farther and farther, muttered to himself with some confusion on his face.
“Captain Rogers, have you heard anything from the Military?” The military seemed to be retreating and Professor Charles raised his head and asked Rogers next to him.
Magneto’s Domain suppression has disappeared, and their electronic network communications have also been recovered. So, maybe SHIELD will have some internal news from the military.
“No information from inside the military, but... I did receive several messages from the President.” When he heard Charles’s question, Rogers responded quickly. As he spoke, Rogers looked at the center of downtown Washington, in the direction of the White House.
At the time when the communication was recovered, Captain Rogers received several messages from the White House. Rogers doesn’t know how the White House and the President learned that SHIELD was involved in the battle here.
Most of the messages were about letting SHIELD stabilize the situation and prevent the expansion of the battlefield from affecting downtown Washington. And there is a message sent by the President himself, he very politely asked Rogers to help, meaning that SHIELD will cooperate with the military to deal with this incident.
Of course, as an absolutely “Neutral Party” Captain Rogers only listened to Mr. President’s request.
Originally, the White House had just experienced a terrorist attack from Extremis Soldiers and the President was holding an emergency press conference in front of the White House.
However, just a few minutes after the press conference, abnormal explosions and slight vibrations on the ground came from the suburbs of Washington.
The President, who had not fully recovered from the Extremis attack, was once again irritated by the fighting in the suburbs of Washington and almost fainted. Even the expression on the face of Mr. Secretary who had been with the President changed.
The press conference was interrupted urgently, and the President received news of the deployment of Secret Military forces. This time, the president, who was hit with one incident after another, was extraordinarily firm.
He threatened to reduce the research funds of the military’s secret department and asked the military to give him accurate information about this fight. After learning that it was the Mutants Brotherhood that was making trouble, the President started to contact SHIELD. However, the other side seemed to keep circling the wagons with him.
In the end, the President, who did not want to escalate the fighting and threaten Washington’s security, urged the military to withdraw, and he intended to leave the SHIELD in charge of the situation.
However, the military men did not seem to be fully listening to the President’s orders and they only began to retreat after losing a dozen or so of the Reformed Hulk.
By this time the President was furious, but there was little he could do but hope that the SHIELD would be able to stabilize the situation.
“Could it be that the President told them to retreat?” Hearing Rogers’ answer, Charles was still a little confused. Then, Charles suddenly closed his eyes.
Hum~
Seemingly not believing that the military would retreat just like that, Charles finally released his powerful Psychic Power.
The moment Professor Charles closed his eyes, a powerful Psychic Power had swept across the distance of several kilometers to the inside of the military Jet that was flying away.
After Professor Charles closed his eyes, Rogers and others also tacitly remained silent. Although they couldn’t sense the powerful Psychic Power released by Charles, they also knew that Charles must be scanning for something with his abilities now.
After Charles released his Psychic Power to scan into the Military’s Soldiers, he easily learned about their plan for this operation.
They did receive a request for help from Stryker this time, but after this fight, they knew they couldn’t deal with Magneto. In addition, the President was also putting a lot of pressure on them, so they had to retreat.
However, what surprised Charles was that there seemed to be a small number of people sent by the military to rescue this time, and there were no more than ten soldiers in each combat transport plane.
And since Stryker has managed to get the title of Major General over the years and has a number of reformed Mutants under his control, the military should not just send in a few soldiers for his rescue.
“En? This is... not good!” Finally, after checking the thoughts of a Colonel, the expression on Charles’s face changed and he couldn’t help but shout out.
It turned out that although the Secret Military Force that arrived first had retreated, one of their ground troops was in place just now.
At this time, there is a special weapon attacking the ruins. As understood from the Colonel’s mind, the power of this weapon was enough to wipe this area from the earth. In order to deal with Magneto, the military didn’t care about Stryker anymore.
Phew!
When Professor Charles opened his eyes, he saw a white light that looked like a shooting star passing through the air, and the target was the location they were in.
