Section 58
The only thing that makes Tom a little curious is that this White Queen was forcibly adopted by Magneto, why doesn't she have a grudge against Magneto, but Tom thinks that it is more of a monster? Could it be? These two people... Ever had an adulterous affair?
Seeing Tom's eyes jumping back and forth between himself and the White Queen, Magneto guessed that Tom probably wasn't thinking about anything good. In addition, he found that his daughter, Polaris, did not come to greet him, which made Magneto even more unhappy.
Therefore, Magneto was not in the mood to say anything, and went straight to the point: "Where is the spirit butterfly?" The matchmaker military is about to take action against us. This time, I just want to discuss with you how to deal with this matter. โ
"She's in the captain's room, come with me..."
Magneto's contempt, Tom had felt before. Still, Tom didn't care. After all, his social experience is not as good as Magneto and Lingdie.
Moreover, Magneto's proposals and requests to the Spirit Butterfly must ultimately be agreed by Tom. In that case, what's the difference between talking to Tom himself?
"Ah, very beautiful and strange birds..."
Upon entering the captain's quarters, Magneto and the White Queen were drawn to the blue lantern hanging on the wall, and the Shining Room Phoenix nesting in her nest under the blue lantern. However, Magneto was only surprised for a moment and didn't pay attention after that. It was the White Queen, who had been staring at Yao Muluo Huang all the time, not knowing what she was thinking.
After all, mutants have a myriad of abilities, and it's not surprising that there are mutants who can spawn some bizarre creatures. Therefore, Magneto did not pay much attention to Yaomurohuang. However, as a spiritual mutant, the White Queen was vaguely aware of the difference in Yaomuhuang.
"Ah, a very interesting creature..." Tom nodded, and then said to Polaris, who was holding the dried fish and was surrounding the Shining Room, "Mr. Magneto is here, why don't you ask?" โ
"Hah..." Polaris glanced at Tom, threw down the dried fish in his hand and turned around and ran out: "I'm going to go and play with Flicker and Naughty..." โ
Although three days have passed, Polaris, Polaris, who suddenly appeared and "forcibly" wanted to be her father, is still very unacceptable.
As for the blue lantern and the Shining Room, Tom didn't deliberately put it here for Magneto to see. The blue lantern and the shining room phoenix have been placed here since Tom appeared. On the one hand, it is convenient for existing light ring users to recharge. On the one hand, it is also convenient for those mutants who want to have the Lantern Ring to try it out on their own.
Similarly, Tom didn't go out of his way to hide it from Magneto. Ever since that conversation with the Ancient One, Tom had no intention of hiding the Lantern Ring again. Even, in the next battle with the matchmaker's military, Tom has allowed Long Legs and the other seven Lantern Ring holders to use the power of the Lantern Ring in battle.
After all, the Supreme Mage Gu Yi didn't care about the existence of the Blue Lantern Legion, so why did Tom himself hide and hide?
"Welcome to Mr. Magneto, is this time here to talk to us about the next battle with the military of the same media country?" As he spoke, Long Legs also walked into the captain's room. Previously, she was training with the Dreamer to use the Blue Lantern Ring: "What about Sister Raven?" Why didn't she come with you? Also, who is this beautiful lady? โ
Walking in with the long legs, there is also a dreamer with four cups of coffee. But as soon as she put down her coffee, she left the room.
The White Queen took a sip of coffee, and then introduced herself to Long Legs: "My name is Emma Frost, nicknamed the White Queen, and I used to be the owner of the Hellfire Club. But now, I'm just a regular member of the Brotherhood. As for Raven, she still has to stay in the Hellfire Club and integrate the mutant brothers who have just joined the Brotherhood. So, I didn't come with it this time. โ
"Ah, I know you." The long-legged little fan nodded: "The Hellfire Club, the third largest force among mutants besides the Brotherhood and the X-Men." You know, I've always dreamed of being a mutant like you. โ
smiled slightly, and it could be seen that the White Queen's compliment to her long legs was very useful: "Is it?" That's a real pleasure for me. However, you're not bad now, are you? Help your husband and manage the watchman of hundreds. With the fall of the X-Men, and the dissolution of the Hellfire Club. Now, you're the second largest organization among mutants, right? โ
Yes, it's only been three days since he returned from William Stryker's mutant research base, and the number of watchmen under Tom's command has already exceeded 100. After all, most of the mutants who had been rescued from the underground base, with the exception of the X-Men, had chosen to leave on their own.
Three days is enough time for the Warden to make a name for himself among the mutants. What's more, there are many mutants who left before, and after returning to society and finding that they can't fit in at all, they have to choose to join the Warden or the Brotherhood.
"That..."
"Okay, don't talk about these useless things. Let's talk about how to deal with the matchmaker's military, and you can talk about the inconsequential things that you talked about until the current crisis is resolved. โ
Long Legs wanted to brag a few words to the White Queen, but was directly interrupted by Magneto. Tom, who saw this scene, couldn't help but admire, it seems that the reason why Magneto has been alone for so many years is not unreasonable. Don't interrupt the women who are bragging to each other, such a simple truth, why doesn't Magneto understand?
"Huh? Is it? โ
"Well, I wonder what Sister Raven has found?"
Sure enough, the two girls who were interrupted and embarrassed to blow not only did the White Queen give Magneto a white look, but even the long-legged voice also had a little temper.
However, Magneto didn't notice all this, after all, people play steel: "According to Raven's intelligence, after three days of gathering arms, the matchmaker military is ready. And the first battle they fought against us mutants was the former Hellfire Club and now My Brotherhood in Hell's Kitchen.
After all, my previous brotherhood was close to disbanding. The X-Men, most of whom also left the matchmaker with Charles. Naturally, the goal of the matchmaker's military fell on the well-known third largest organization of mutants, the Hellfire Club. โ
"Take the Hellfire Club as the first target, the matchmaker military is going to kill chickens and monkeys." The long legs nodded, and immediately gained insight into the intention of the matchmaker's military to do this: "So, what are Mr. Magneto and your brotherhood going to do?" โ
"If he wants war, we will give them war..." A cruel smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and Magneto replied categorically:
"You must have seen that the reason why the matchmaker military chose the target of the first battle as the Hellfire Club is to make it clear that they look down on us mutants. If you want to fight, you will break the backbone of our mutants and break our courage to resist.
In that case, we will face the enemy head-on. In turn, the First World War defeated the military of the Matchmaker, so that they no longer dared to covet us mutants. โ
"The plan is good, but are we capable of doing it? Will the matchmaker military devote all their main forces in this first battle? โ
Seeing that Tom didn't seem to oppose Magneto's plan, he had long legs, so he asked further.
"Of course." Magneto nodded without hesitation: "The reason why I proposed this plan to you watchmen is because I, Raven and Emma have carefully planned it before.
Hell's Kitchen is a place where illegal buildings are everywhere, supercriminals and gangsters are everywhere, and it can be said that it is chaotic to the extreme. But it's part of New York City.
Therefore, in this stop against us, the military of the matchmaker country will not be able to use heavy weapons such as tanks and airplanes against us. At most, that is, bazookas, plastic explosives. Therefore, we have taken advantage of weapons as a matter of course.
In addition, although the matchmaker military claims to have a million troops, what can actually be used to fight our mutants is the 9,000 mercenaries who form the mutant pursuer force, and the 3,000 National Guard stationed in New York. The armies of other matchmakers, without heavy weapons, will not fight.
What about us in comparison? Our Brotherhood currently has more than 300 members, and you Watchmen have more than 100 members, which adds up to 400. Four hundred against twelve thousand, it looks like we're outnumbered, but don't forget, it's Hell's Kitchen. If the matchmaker military attacks us, whether it is for self-preservation or otherwise, the gangsters and supercriminals hiding here will definitely help us.
What's more, four hundred against ten thousand, are we really at a disadvantage? Don't forget, we mutants are all strong. In particular, it is not difficult for us to be able to fight against a hundred or a thousand with one against one.
Finally, there is the terrain advantage. In my opinion, the entire Hell's Kitchen complex is dense and complex, making it ideal for small, elite troops like us mutants to fight. Ten thousand two, it seems like a huge number. But if you really want to sneak into the huge place of Hell's Kitchen, there are probably not a few people in each area.
So in general, we clearly have an advantage in this battle. โ
ยทยทยทยทยท
"Hopefully, things will go as we planned."
In the balance, Tom still hinted that Long Legs agreed to Magneto's and the matchmaker's military in Hell's Kitchen.
"But do you think Magneto is right? I don't think the matchmaker military would be so stupid and fight us at such a big disadvantage, no one is stupid. โ
Looking at Lao Wan and the White Queen, who were gradually moving away on the clipper, Tom finally asked the long legs about the doubts in his heart. Magneto's plan was indeed boiling, but in Tom's opinion, it was just talk on paper.
