Chapter 60 The Prelude to War

Inside the government meeting room.

"After many days, I've gathered everyone here again to explain something."

The New York governor looked around and saw that all the original members of his gang had arrived, including Casillas, Xia Ling, and this time, Army General Thomas.

"The threat of the Red Giants is imminent. Their power is growing day by day, and we are just watching. Sooner or later, the Red Giants will lead their monster army to cause incalculable destruction to New York and the entire country."

We can no longer stand idly by; we must act immediately to formulate and implement a comprehensive and effective defense and counterattack plan.

General Thomas stood up: "Is war about to break out? My lads are all ready and waiting. We will defend New York to the death and not let the Red Giants and their monster army set foot on this land."

The New York governor was satisfied with General Thomas's remarks.

However, he is not the main character today. The army he leads is mostly cannon fodder. This army is only slightly larger than the armies led by Ross and James before.

The equipment is basically the same.

Therefore, the key to the problem lies with these divine messengers of the Church of Dagon. As for S.H.I.E.L.D., which Xia Ling represents, I heard that they have a superpowered unit, which might come in handy.

The New York governor pondered this, his gaze shifting to Casillas and Sharing, two key figures representing the Church of Dagon and S.H.I.E.L.D. respectively.

"General Thomas's courage and determination are an example for all of us."

The governor first affirmed Thomas's statement, then changed the subject.

"But as we know, the Red Giants are far more powerful than any ordinary army, so we need a more comprehensive strategy."

He looked at Casillas, a hint of expectation in his voice: "Casillas, the Church of Dagon is one of the important forces protecting this land. I believe you possess unique abilities to fight the Red Giants. May I ask, what specific assistance can your church provide?"

Casillas bowed slightly: "Governor, the Church of Dagon has always been dedicated to protecting humanity from evil forces. Regarding the threat of the Red Giants, we have begun preparing the necessary rituals and magic arrays, and have provided over three hundred priests to participate in this war."

After receiving a satisfactory answer from the high priest of the Church of Dagon, the governor of New York turned his attention to Xia Ling, awaiting S.H.I.E.L.D.'s response.

"Governor, our S.H.I.E.L.D. can provide agents to assist in the operation."

"Your agents are nothing compared to our tough young men. Do they even have the ability?"

Thomas's superior scoffed. The conflict between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military had a long history, whether it was a matter of authority or funding.

The relationship between the two sides, if not irreconcilable, could certainly be described as one of deep-seated hatred.

When Thomas saw that Xia Ling was preparing to send out agents, he immediately confronted her.

Otherwise, since we're all just ordinary people, who isn't cannon fodder if they're chosen as cannon fodder?

If other cannon fodder steals the position of your best young man, what are you going to do with him? Go eat hamburgers?

"Besides, you're a yellow-skinned person, how dare you show up here so brazenly? The air isn't fresh anymore."

As soon as General Thomas finished speaking, an awkward silence fell over the meeting room.

The New York governor's face fell even more. It wasn't that he thought Thomas was wrong; in fact, he thought he was right, and he also found it strange.

However, in this situation, which is precisely when we need the strength of others, for this general to say such a thing shows a complete lack of common sense.

Or perhaps the army has been spoiled for too long. Would a Black man dare to say that? He's just taking advantage of the fact that Asians are easy to bully.

"I find it more surprising that a low-IQ idiot like you would be here. It seems the military is completely out of manpower after Rose's defection and James's death. Otherwise, why would they let you come here?"

Xia Ling had no intention of indulging him; he couldn't stand the slightest grievance.

After a barrage of taunts, Thomas's superior blushed deeply. He was known for his domineering ways, and even Black people wouldn't dare mock him like that. Yet today, he was being ridiculed by a yellow-skinned man—this was truly...

Before he could even retort, the Governor of New York spoke up.

"General Thomas, I have never doubted your loyalty and courage, but at this critical juncture concerning the safety of the nation, what we need is unity and wisdom, not pointless disputes and prejudices. Please apologize to Director Xia."

Thomas's superior was stunned. How come this yellow-skinned monkey was the one who provoked him, yet he had to apologize?

The lackey has started to betray his master; this is utterly outrageous!

Seeing this, Casillas spoke up at this moment: "General, this is war, this is the battlefield, everything is decided by strength. You and your soldiers do not seem to be as helpful to us as Director Xia's S.H.I.E.L.D.."

I advise you to apologize now, or you'll be in an awkward situation later, and don't blame me for not warning you.

After Casillas finished speaking, he nodded to Xia Ling, who returned the gesture.

Upon hearing this, General Thomas's face turned pale and then red, clearly angered by the words of the New York governor and Casillas.

"My awesome lad is inferior to his useless agents? Are you kidding me? What good is his unlicensed superpowered force? And how many men can he even provide?"

General Thomas’s voice was filled with obvious indignation and disdain. He clenched his fists, as if he wanted to prove that his army was the strongest backing.

"I can send two soldiers into this war, they..."

"Just two? Hahaha, I thought there would be more. Just two people, what can they do? Bring me Coke?"

"Two warriors who are on par with Bronsky."

Xia Ling said this calmly, without mentioning Banner.

The current Banner, after being enhanced, is already much stronger than the original Banner.

At this stage, Thor, without any enhancements, can't compete with this red giant; he's more like Bronsky.

"If that's the case, then your two soldiers can play a decisive role in the battle. I'm sorry, General, but your cannon fodder is probably not as important as Director Xia's two soldiers."

"General, on behalf of the Governor of New York, I demand that you apologize to Director Xia. Otherwise, I will report your actions in full."

Seeing Casillas' strong support for Xia Ling, the New York governor directly revealed his own stance.

They're just a bunch of peasants, even if they're generals, so what? An army that can't even get pensions dares to bare its teeth at the big shots?
