Chapter 675: The difference in strength is insignificant
Since coming here, Captain America and the Avengers have felt very uncomfortable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info on the one hand, because of the deep gaze of the powerful mutant across from them who once made them helpless, the look with suspicion and curiosity that made them almost think that they were some new commodity on display in the window.
On the other hand, it is they who already feel that they have been given a cold shoulder. It was different from Charles and others who were interviewed. Although they say that they are in the same camp. But it was Magneto who was in charge of receiving them, not the real leader. It's not what they envisioned.
You know, in their imagination, they came here as saviors. Even if people don't welcome them, at least they will be given the most important treatment. But in reality, the city's leaders don't think so. The savior has already been decided, and they are at best mascots sent over for phone bills. So it really doesn't matter if you have them or not.
This, Ida and the others have made it clear to them through their cold reception of these Avengers. And for this attitude, these avengers are not only ineffective, but only full of resentment.
"Hey, is that how you treat the heroes who came to your aid?"
"Heroes? That's just what ignorant humans call you. Leaning back in his seat, Magneto squinted slightly at Pete, who spoke, that is, his son. A disdainful smile hung on his face. "Don't forget where this is, your so-called heroism is worthless here."
"Eric, what the hell do you want to do? Shut us out? At this time, Wanda also spoke. Magneto's attitude gave her a very bad feeling, and she was really worried that the city would turn away those of them who had volunteered to help. The captain and Jennifer are okay to say, but he and Pete are absolutely not allowed to do this. Because they are also mutants and are one of these people who are about to be in danger.
No one can give up his race, his fellow man, except to the extreme. And their siblings are obviously not there yet, so they have to choose to stay. And looking at the firmness in his daughter's eyes, Magneto opened his eyes and said.
"Shut it out, then it's not enough. This cautious approach doesn't work for us, and we don't exclude those who are in the same camp as us. ā
"It's just that I need you to figure out where you are. This is a war that belongs to us, a war that belongs to this city. It's okay to help, but we don't need people to point fingers. If you are willing to cooperate with us, we will naturally tell you what to do and where we need your help. If not, then I'm sorry, I'll just put a stand for you. ā
"Eric, do you know what you're doing? You're destroying our race. ā
Magneto's words made Wanda stand up immediately, her emotions a little out of control, and this out-of-control emotion made everything around her start to float.
"What we need at this time is the strength that can help us, the possibility of leading us to victory. Now that we've brought that power here, you're actually denying us with such a ridiculous excuse. Could it be that you have fought all your life for this race, and you have reached the point of being old and confused? ā
"I'm confused, no, I'm afraid I'm not there yet. It's just my children, you seem to be the ones who can't see the status quo clearly. The smile on his face grew more and more disdainful, and Magneto almost pointed at their nose and mocked them. Do you think the power you bring is important? It's ridiculous, if even the people Charles admires have this kind of eyesight, then I really have to wonder if you have made some ulterior deal. ā
"Remember, my child. In war, the power of the individual is always powerless. Quantity is the key to everything. We have prepared more than 20,000 mutant combat squads for this war, invested a lot of modern weapons, and even recruited the same tens of thousands of international mercenaries. They are the main force in this war, and you are just a foil. It doesn't matter to us whether we have you or not. For your existence is repetitive, superfluous. Among the mutants, we can always find a replacement for you. So, don't think so highly of yourself. Especially before you have the power to dominate a war. ā
With just a few words, Magneto has already shown the terrifying heritage and power of this city. And he was right, in the face of the power they were gathering now, these only half of the Avengers could play a limited role.
Just like in regular battles, they simply can't play much of a role in frontal clan battles, so all they can do is perform special missions like special forces. If they were on the human side, maybe they would have received some special treatment for this ability. But in this mutant territory, their abilities are simply not outstanding enough.
Although their combat effectiveness and experience are very good, who says that there is no better candidate among the mutants than them?
Thinking of this, the Avengers smiled bitterly when they got acquainted with each other. They came all the way here, full of hope to save others, but in the end, they didn't think that they were not as important as they thought, and this was really a basin of cold water poured on their heads.
That doesn't mean they're going to give up, though. If nothing else, as mutant siblings in the Avengers, they are not allowed to casually leave everything here. So the captain quickly figured it out and said to Magneto.
"We understand, and we are willing to accept your arrangement. As long as we can stop this plot to spread violence throughout the world under the pretext of targeting mutants, we can do whatever we want. ā
"Wise choice, I've changed my opinion of you a little bit. Mr. Captain, although I haven't seen anything special about you, but in terms of intelligence, you are worth learning from many people. ā
With that, Magneto glanced in Pete's direction. The kind of eyes full of "cub, why are you so uncompetitive", seeing that Quicksilver, who was already impulsive, immediately had the urge to attack.
But before he could do anything, the captain had already pressed his shoulder, and at the same time said solemnly to Magneto.
"We have a small request, though."
"Request?" Shaking his head, Magneto's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment. Still, he said. "Speak up and let me see what you're asking for. But I'll have to make it clear upfront that if you're not sensible enough, then I'll just assume I didn't hear it, understand? ā
"Rest assured, Mr. Lansel. Wouldn't be an overly demanding! I just hope that you'll put us on the front lines against the Sentinel Robots when you arrange for us. My people and I may be better suited to deal with these metal cans than you. ā
The captain's request was a bit strange for Magneto. He really didn't understand what the purpose of his request was. So he immediately asked.
"I don't quite understand, Mister Rogers. Why are you doing this? Or do you think we mutants can't take on the front-line confrontation mission? ā
Shaking his head, the captain pressed the table in front of him and said word by word in a sincere enough manner.
"I didn't mean that, Mr. Lanshel. In fact, I value the abilities that mutants have. The importance of Wanda and Pitt in our team speaks volumes. However, from what I've seen so far, it seems like you know too little about sentry robots. Or rather, you think too much of your opponent. And from the point of view of war, this is a fatal problem. ā
"It's just metal waste produced by humans, and if it weren't for the precaution, I could easily dispose of it alone. Your thoughts are simply unnecessary, Mr. Rogers. This war may seem like a crisis to many, but it seems to me to be a huge opportunity. Victory is only an inevitable possibility. ā
In the face of the captain's explanation, Magneto revealed absolute confidence and disdain for human creation. Of course, he has the qualifications to look down on those robots, because he himself is the absolute nemesis of all technological creations of mankind. His control over magnetism made him contemptuous of anything machine-related, and the Sentinels were no exception.
That's only in the past, not now, though.
Looking at this confident old man, the captain sighed deeply in his heart, and at the same time, he also put on a more formal look on his face.
"You're too confident, Mr. Lansell. Forgive me, have you come into contact with these sentry robots? ā
"Of course, it's just a matter of moments, and it turns it into a pile of garbage."
In answering this question, Magneto simply picked at his finger as if it were just a trivial matter. But looking at his reaction, the captain frowned, revealing that it was indeed so.
"So, did you touch them afterward?"
"Of course not, do you think this city is one of those places out there that can let such a disgusting killing machine run around?"
"That's right. Mr. Lanshel, you've only been in contact with Sentinel Robots once, so you don't know their horrors. For you mutants, the number of weapons and the weapons they carry are only a small part of their danger. Where they are really dangerous is in adapting and imitating your abilities. ā
"You can destroy one, two, even a hundred and ten sentinels. But after that, you can't target them in the same way, because they've adapted to your abilities, changed their structure, and become resistant to magnetism. One owns, all owns. So in the end, you're the equivalent of fighting the Iron Monster with flesh and blood. You're only going to lose a lot! (To be continued.) )
