What's going on, sir? ”

Nearly 1 hour and 40 minutes later, a heavily armed Coulson opened the car door and stood next to Merlin, behind him, more than a dozen black official cars parked at the corner of Queens, and farther away, the New York Police Department officers were setting up barricades and blockades.

Merlin requisitioned a small theater on the side of the street, which had been closed, as a temporary headquarters, and at this time, he was standing in front of the small theater, who had sent Peter home.

I changed into clean, bloodless clothes, but there were still some remnants of the indulged killing intent.

So much so that when Coulson approached Merlin, he felt a hint of coldness.

But maybe it was just an illusion, and when Merlin looked back, Coulson saw the same Chief Merlin as before.

Coulson asked with a worried face:

"I saw your suspension notice on the intranet, it's..."

"That's just a trifle, Coulson."

Merlin waved his hand, and he said to Coulson:

"You should be more concerned about what comes next than my business. Tonight, you're the Commander, and this is the first time you've commanded an operation of this magnitude, and the Aurors of the Magic Congress will come to help... I mean, you'd better be prepared in advance. ”

As he spoke, Merlin sent a picture to Coulson's phone, an electronic map of Queens, on which more than a dozen red marks of all sizes had been marked.

"This is all the vampire strongholds in Queens, you have 20 minutes to think about the strategy of action, and I will come to the most dangerous strongholds myself."

Merlin patted Coulson on the shoulder and said:

"And those weapons, did you bring them?"

"Well, in the trunk of our car."

Coulson looked at the map and said with a frown:

"Every agent has one, and it's handed back at the end of the mission. And the oddly named 'Vampire Hunter Armament Pack' has also been distributed, basically one per person. ”

"Good."

Merlin walked to the back of Coulson's car and opened the trunk, which he rummaged through with the hunting weapon, and finally picked up a black double-barreled shotgun.

It's slow to reload and a little less accurate, but it's powerful, and it's exactly what Merlin needs.

"Sir, I saw your suspension notice, what the hell is going on?"

A slightly cold voice sounded behind Merlin, who was holding a shotgun and two boxes of Elsa's handmade holy silver bullets, and saw Sharon wearing a black stab-proof suit, a tactical helmet, two silver short swords stuck in his waist, and a silver crossbow in his hand.

The latter's face, which resembled that of Ms. Carter, was at a loss at this point.

Obviously, Sharon was also puzzled and curious about Merlin's sudden suspension.

She knows how good Merlin and Fury's relationship is in private, and the two of them have always worked together in business, Merlin is one of the best agents under Director Fury, why was he suddenly suspended?

And the notice of suspension was issued by Director Fury's office.

This thing... There are quirks!

"It's not a big deal."

Merlin said calmly:

"Just some censorship stuff, you're insider, you should know, I did something in Afghanistan that caused turmoil within the CIA... It will be fine after a while. ”

"Oh? Are you sure? ”

Sharon frowned, this chick had inherited her aunt's innate sensibility, she frowned, looking at Chief Merlin who was leaving in a hurry, she always felt that there was something strange in this matter.

At least certainly not as simple as Chief Merlin suggests.

Ten minutes later, under the watchful eye of Agent Coulson, who was the on-site commander of this operation, more than 40 Aurors riding magic broomsticks and flying carpets fell from all directions. Around the temporary command of L.D.

Over the past few years, S.. L.D. often collaborated with the Aurors on missions, so the agents of this department were no stranger to these combat wizards riding strange vehicles, but this time there were so many wizards dispatched, but it was also a small surprise for the agents who had already prepared.

"Hey, Merlin, old friend."

Ecinnus, a chubby high-ranking Auror, jumped off his magic carpet and walked over to Merlin, who was leaning against the wall, and greeted Merlin in a friendly manner.

"Long time no see!"

"Well, it's been a long time."

Merlin glanced at Aeginus's fat belly, and said:

"It's time for you to exercise, Wizard."

"I'm a traditional wizard."

Athenus shrugged, took a puff from his pipe, and said to Merlin:

"Muscles and body are not what we are after, wisdom is. Speaking of which, why is it so sudden this time? ”

The fat wizard glanced at Merlin, who frowned slightly:

"And you seem to be very unhappy, you still have a faint smell of blood, I also heard that dozens of minutes ago, there was a murder in a nightclub on the border between Queens and Brooklyn, and the crow went to deal with it, and he just told me that the place was like hell, and more than 80 vampires and ghost fans died there, and after all the human guests were kicked out, it was burned by magical flames."

"That's what you did, right? Merlin, I suspect you are using the vampires of Queens as a vent now, but alas, I have no proof. ”

"No, it's not."

Merlin said without changing his face:

"Maybe it was done by a sung man passing by, and maybe he saw the mess in New York right now. Unfortunately, that was our job, and we should have done it ourselves, wasn't it? ”

"Eradication?"

Aeginus savored the not-so-friendly word, and said to Merlin:

"You rarely used such words before, my friend, what is going on? I can sense that you seem to be expecting a war, possibly a killing... It's not like you, you don't seem to be going to continue to be a good-willed, savior-minded guardian, why? ”

Merlin glanced at the fat wizard and said:

"Because I found that the world wasn't kind enough to me."

"Ugh"

Merlin replied that the fat wizard didn't know how to pick it up for a while, Merlin looked at Aeginus, he reached out and patted the fat wizard on the shoulder, and said:

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. There is no need to worry about those vampires, they are just the dregs of the shadows, they live in the shadows, all it takes is to shoot a scorching light that is hot enough, and they will disappear with the shadows. ”

"But among those vampires, there are also law-abiding ones."

Aeginus said:

"They're also part of the magical creatures, part of the wizarding ecosystem, and we need to distinguish them, not kill them all at once."

"I understand."

Merlin nodded, and he said approvingly:

"Born into the fate of vampires, it's not something they can choose. For those vampires who have entered the Sanctuary Reservation, I will respect their lives as much as I respect the lives of my fellow citizens. ”

"But, it's conditional."

Merlin looked at Aeginus and said:

"Vampires who refuse to enter the sanctuary and are planning to make trouble... They're going to die! ”

"There's no trial, there's nothing waiting, they're going to die, everybody... We've warned the madmen who expect confusion, many times, but now it seems that they don't understand the friendly reminders. ”

Merlin reached out and touched the black shotgun in his hand, he pursed his lips, and after a few seconds he said to Aeginus:

"So, this time, we're reminding them in other ways."

"Rules are rules, and if you touch the rules, you have to shed some blood..."

Aesinus's face changed slightly, but after a moment, he nodded silently.

These vampires have been making a bit of a fuss in recent months, and maybe Merlin's murderous advice should be tried. Blind tenderness will always make fools think that the Magic Congress is cowardly, which is not what Aeginus wants to see.

With a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other, this is the posture of a mediator and a maintainer of order.

A few minutes later, in front of the makeshift command post, four squads, including Merlin, a total of 84 agents, were ready to go, and the Aurors brought by Aeginus were also divided into four squads in groups of 10.

As the commander, Coulson stood in front of the team, and on the theater stage curtain behind him, there was a huge projection, on which was the map of Queens, which was covered with red markers, which had been divided into four areas of A-D by Coulson.

"Tonight we will clean up the vampire strongholds that are entrenched in Queens and do not comply with the 'Alien Management Regulations'!"

Although it was the first time for Coulson to command such a large-scale operation, he had learned a lot by Merlin's side for several years, and he was not nervous, using a laser pointer to assign tasks to the team members below.

"Me and Team Dalmatian are in charge of Area A, Agent Melinda and Team Claw are in charge of Area B, Agent Sharon and Team Knight are in charge of Area C, and finally, Chief Merlin... Agents, Agent Merlin, and the 'Crown' team are in charge of the most dangerous Area D, and the exact course of action is determined by the team leader. ”

Coulson looked at his watch and said:

"It's four hours before dawn, which means we're going to finish this cleanup before dawn. The good news is that the Aurors of the Wizarding Congress will support us as allies. The bad news is that each squad has to deal with 3-4 strongholds in 4 hours, which is a tight schedule. ”

"According to the information we have received, because this operation is very sudden, the vampires in those strongholds are not guarded, and the number of vampires in most strongholds will not exceed 30 people, this is our advantage, with the newly issued weapons and raid tactics, we will move quickly, but we still need to pay attention to self-protection."

"Next, Agent Melinda will explain to you how to use the newly distributed 'Battle Pack'."

Coulson walked off the stage, and Melinda, with a serious face, walked to the middle of the stage.

Merlin and Aeginus stood at the back of the theater, and although he had been suspended, he had single-handedly established S. The leader of the L.D., with him watching from behind, the agents sitting in the theater seats, including Coulson and Melinda, all subconsciously maintained their most serious state.

"The newly issued 'combat kit' contains weapons and armor, I don't need to say more about weapons, you have all received weapons training, and you basically have experience with vampires, I want to talk about these two bottles of potion! Keep your ears up and listen, it's very important, it's about your lives. ”

Under Merlin's gaze, Melinda, who had become an expert in elite operations, raised the potion in her left hand and said to the agents in a cold voice:

"This milky white thing is a weak volcanic potion used for attack, its use is very simple, you can just throw it out, but it is very powerful, it will cause a small-scale firestorm, basically eliminate all the vampires around you at once, but pay attention! You can be hurt by the flames yourself, so be sure to time it when you use it. ”

"And then here's this!"

Melinda raised her right hand to the potion, and he said:

"This gray liquid is a Shadow Protectant, which is a kind of auxiliary armor. The method of use is also very simple, twist the lid and take a sip, just take a small sip, don't drink too much, it will irritate your respiratory mucous membrane, it will be very painful. ”

"A bottle of potion can be used about 10 times, each lasting 30 minutes, it can reduce your chances of being found in the dark, and help you be immune to the virus on the vampire's teeth, that is, even if you are bitten, you will not become a half-vampire, but pay attention!"

The female agent's voice became more serious, and she reminded:

"This potion only exempts you from vampires 10-15 times at a time, which means that when you fight, you should dodge or dodge, and of course, you can also use volcanic potions or grenades with garlic essence to kill them before they pounce!"

"The last point is also the requirement of this operation!"

Melinda exclaimed:

"This is a deterrent clearance operation, so we don't take any prisoners!"

“S.. L.D.'s elite agents, do you know what I mean? ”

"Understood!"

Qi Shushu's answer echoed through the theater, and here sat all the field agents who had participated in the battle, how could they not understand what the commander meant.

The sir's meaning is simple...

That's killing all the vampires they see!

This order lifted the spirits of the exhausted agents who had been tossed by the vampires' constant troubles for a while. You can choose to enter S.. The agents of the L.D. are warriors who are not afraid of the aliens, and they have long had enough of these mischievous vampires.

"Your subordinates look cold."

The fat wizard Aeginus suddenly said:

"I didn't have much contact with this Melinda agent before, and she looked... Slightly, cold-blooded. ”

"Melinda and Sharon, including me, are S.H.I.E.L.D. operational specialists."

Merlin replied softly:

"And being cold-blooded is our tradition."

"Of course, Coulson is not doing a good job at this point, but it doesn't matter, he has enough time to grow."

A few minutes later, Merlin and his team approached the first target in Section D, a vampire colony disguised as a bar.

Merlin made a few gestures in the dim light to prepare the agents behind him to burst in, and he looked at the inconspicuous bar door in front of him, and he whispered:

"Quinn..."

"You're right here, right?"
