Chapter Eighty-Four: Post-War Turmoil
On the battlefield, the soldiers of S.H.I.E.L.D. are cleaning up the battlefield, and Tomophisto's blessing, S.H.I.E.L.D. is the biggest winner this time, although the loss is not small, but it has successfully destroyed the two major churches and most of the high-end combat power on the source star.
"Sir, what do we do next?" Hill asked, looking at the mess of the battlefield.
"What to do? The pursuit team continues its mission, increasing the blockade of the vicinity, and killing anyone who is not our combatant immediately, and I don't believe that this group of people who are not able to use supernatural powers can fly out. All combat data is centralized and sealed, and the participants are given gag orders. The aftermath of the table world is business as usual. "Nick looked at the statistics that kept coming in, and his mind was thinking about how to deal with the 'bombardment' of the council and how to quell the aftermath of the war.
"Understood, wait for the sir, the pursuit team has reported urgently that the body of De Saka of the Church of Light has been found. And also...... This is...... Sir, someone has attacked the masters who have broken out of the blockade. Hill was constantly operating on the console, quickly summarizing the information sent by the various pursuit teams and sending it to the control board in front of Nick.
"This is ......" Nick's brow furrowed into a 'Chuan' as Hill rounded up the information from the pursuing team, which showed that all the strong men who had broken out of the blockade and were able to determine their tracks had been killed, and the causes of death were varied.
Daggers, swords, knives, modified guns, and even heavy machine guns were weapons based on the fatal wounds on the deceased's body, but most of the corpses had been destroyed and difficult to identify, and it was only possible to tell which side it was from the clothing.
Among them, the body of the Pope de Saka is relatively intact, probably out of basic respect for the Pope or some other reason, although there are many scars on the body of De Saka, there is only one fatal wound, and the body has not been damaged in any way.
"Ask the pursuit squads to withdraw and send a clean-up force to remove the traces. Barton, I have a mission for you, to help me investigate an unknown force. I'll send you the details of the quest later, so be careful not to startle you. Nick said to the intercom after a moment's thought.
"I understand sir, I hope the difficulty is not too low, I feel a little rusty recently." Barton accepted the task neatly.
"Don't worry, the difficulty is absolutely satisfying, and this mission is level 8 secret, Barton, you know what this level represents." Nick thought about it for a moment and decided to temporarily raise Barton's level seven agent level to level eight.
"Oh, I can't wait, sir." As soon as Barton heard that it was a Level 8 Secret, he immediately realized that the mission was anything but simple, and then hung up the communication, apparently going to the mission briefing room to report, and the Level 8 classified mission could only be read in the specific mission briefing room.
"Sir, with Agent Barton's strength, if the other party finds out......" Hill said with a frown as he looked at Director Nick.
"It's okay, I've got some clues, and I'm confident in Agent Barton's abilities.
And judging by the movements of their actions, it is certain that they are not any ...... on the battlefield today Damn, how did I forget about the witcher. Ciel, immediately look for the corpses of the witchers, before the war began, I noticed that the dark church was also operating with the witchers. It occurred to Nick that there seemed to be no corpses of witchers on the battlefield.
"Sir, the Witcher left the blockade with Ying Ao's credentials after we attacked...... Hill sent Nick a report of the Witcher's departure.
"Huh? The Witchers...... Forget it, then they probably won't say anything. Regardless of whether that force is friend or foe, they are definitely not any force on the battlefield today, otherwise they would not be so generous to help us exterminate, so Ciel, you will count the forces that did not participate in the battle and send it to Barton along with the mission briefing. Nick was stunned and reacted, after all, the previous information was sent by Yingao, and it was normal for him to be prepared.
"And about the aftermath of the forces involved in the war?" Hill asked, after recording Nick's orders.
"Stabilize those guys first, and make an announcement to the inner world: the two major churches are fighting here, and the unknown angel legion suddenly intervenes, and our S.H.I.E.L.D. has to join hands with the two major churches to defend against the enemy.
Under the threat of angels, the Dark Church summoned powerful demons to kill Desaka, and then attacked both sides, and finally both were destroyed by the demons.
Change the battle records of the Angel Legion and Mephisto after their appearance, and intercept images that are beneficial to S.H.I.E.L.D. and scatter them. "I thought about the rhetoric as early as after Mephisto appeared, and it was a fact that the Angel Legion indiscriminately attacked S.H.I.E.L.D. and the two major churches; It is a fact that the three parties work together against the Angel Legion; It's a fact that Mephisto pinched Lucas to death, and it's also a fact that 'killed' Jared and 'annihilated' the Angel Legion.
Originally, Nick was still thinking about how to deal with the aftermath, but now it seems that it is much simpler, just push the black cauldron to Mephisto.
Anyway, except for the people from S.H.I.E.L.D., the others who participated in the war were basically dead, and it was not he who had the final say.
"Sir, I don't think they'll believe your rhetoric...... They are pedantic, but not stupid. Hill carefully analyzed Nick's suspicions and poured cold water on Nick.
"Cut, so what? That's the steps I give them, and because they're pedantic and smart, they won't stand up and say anything. After all, people are dead, and they won't fight against us for the sake of the dead. In contrast, what they care about is probably the interests left behind by the dead, right? Nick didn't care when he was poured cold water, he didn't expect anyone to believe him anyway.
"Okay sir, I'll take care of it." Hill was speechless. Indeed, those who can participate in this war are those emerging powerhouses, and not long ago, the older generation of powerhouses were all drawn away by the Interstellar Alliance, which leads to the fact that none of the remaining powerhouses within the various forces seem to be far-sighted and leading, I am afraid that even if Director Nick does not give them this step, they will first have a bit of infighting to discuss the issue of compensation.
……
Just a few hours after the war, the world of the source star was in turmoil because of this war, the two major popes received bento at the same time, the two major churches were leaderless, and there were many supernatural forces large and small.
And as Nick said, most of them went down the stairs after S.H.I.E.L.D. issued an announcement: they were too busy competing for resources that originally belonged to the war dead, and they didn't have time to talk to the powerful S.H.I.E.L.D. for their actions.
In addition, there is also the problem that dark energy is difficult to drive related to this war, and the Wizards Association and the Magic Guild have issued statements at the same time: some laws of the source star have changed, and the activity of dark energy is abnormally low, so most of the supernatural abilities that drive dark energy will be severely weakened to varying degrees.
Therefore, the strength of S.H.I.E.L.D., which has studied Transformers for the longest time and has the most powerful scientific and technological power, surpassed the two major churches in one fell swoop, and the other major forces have chosen to back down, and S.H.I.E.L.D. has finally become the guardian of mankind as it wishes, and the prestige of the Council is unparalleled for a while.
But the consequences of this are also a headache for the Council, after all, the stall is much bigger than before: after this battle, the major forces have entered a period of recuperation, and many of the tasks of 'Demon Eradication and Guardianship' have fallen to S.H.I.E.L.D.
As a result, Director Nick's head was brighter.
But these have nothing to do with the 'successful retirement' of the witcher, anyway, for the witcher, no matter what turmoil happens in the world, as long as there is no end of the world, life will still go on as usual.
