The Extraordinary Life of a Certain American Comic...

Chapter 200 Even the most powerful magic is no match for firearms.

After hanging up the phone, Locke took Natasha and headed straight for the operations command center.

On the road.

Natasha couldn't help but ask a question.

"By the way, who is the commissioner of your New York State Police?"

"Um?"

Locke looked at Natasha with some confusion upon hearing the question.

Natasha said with some curiosity, "Why do I feel that your authority as the operations director has exceeded what you should be entitled to?"

Like tonight's situation.

The Sentinel Chief should have at least shown up, but in fact, not only did he not appear, Natasha still can't remember the name of the New York State Sentinel Chief.

Locke smiled as he listened to Natasha's question.

"My dad is the party whip."

"so what?"

"Chief Andrew is my uncle."

"..."

Leaving aside family background, the fact that Andrew, the director of the Washington Sentinel Headquarters, treats him like a nephew is enough to determine one thing.

It's fine if he doesn't take the position, but once he does, his voice will definitely be the loudest.

and so……

In New York State, isn't it normal that people only know the operations director, Locke Underwood, but not the chief of staff?

Anyway, the current New York State Commissioner is quite old, so he's just waiting to retire peacefully in another year or two.

He has no objection to Locke's tendency to stir up trouble right now.

After all, Locke was very tough.

Furthermore...

If something goes wrong, Locke takes the blame; if nothing goes wrong, the New York State Commissioner still gets credit and doesn't have to take any responsibility. Isn't that a wonderful thing?

As they were talking.

After Locke scanned his iris, he pushed open the door and led Natasha into the operations command center.

As soon as Natasha entered, she saw that the large screen was displaying a perfect panoramic view of the entire conference room.

In the conference room shown on the large screen, a woman with gray hair and an elegant appearance sat at the head of the table, flanked by male and female witches of various styles and appearances.

This is live footage from the Dolan Church meeting room.

"Sir."

"Sir."

Upon seeing Locke enter, the sentry in the operations command center quickly greeted him.

Locke put his hands on his hips and looked up at the screen: "What's going on now?"

The combat sentry quickly recounted what had just happened at the Dolan church meeting.

After Sentinel Shield issued the Extraordinary Order 2, it wasn't just the wizarding community hidden in New York City that heard it.

The Dolan Church also heard about this and immediately convened a meeting, bringing together the core members of the Dolan Church, namely the eight witches and twelve wizards.

They gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

After this second order was issued, they learned that the task force that had previously gone to the Sentinel Special Service building to retrieve the person had failed.

wrong.

It wasn't just a defeat; it also angered the Sentinel Special Operations and S.H.I.E.L.D.

They originally intended to call the Vatican to try and find a solution.

But they couldn't get through to them by phone, so there was no doubt that they would have to solve this problem on their own.

But how can we solve this?

A wizard proposed peace talks, but this was immediately opposed by eight witches.

When the Church of Dolan was maintaining world peace, where were the Sentinels and the S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Peace talks?

Do they deserve it?

Then one of the witches suggested that if the problem couldn't be solved, then the person who raised the problem should be dealt with.

Assassinate Locke.

But the wizards rejected the proposal at lightning speed.

They had previously sent three wizards to rescue Calder, but they failed. It's no surprise that Locke was involved.

Their assessment of Locke's strength was flawed. To attempt another assassination before a reassessment would not be aimed at resolving the problem, but rather a suicidal act.

Upon hearing this, the witch angrily rebuked the wizard for being a coward.

The male wizard rebuked the witches for becoming increasingly radical.

"And so, they argued for almost three hours about whether the male witch or the female witch contributed more."

The combat sentry's expression became quite strange as he spoke.

He had thought that feminism only existed in the world of ordinary people, but he never expected that it also existed in the extraordinary world.

"Then, just now, they passed a resolution."

"They are preparing to send a wizard hunter squad to suppress the wizards who came to us and to S.H.I.E.L.D. today."

"..."

The combat sentry finished speaking.

Locke couldn't help but exchange a glance with Natasha beside him, wondering if he was hallucinating.

Natasha frowned and said, "At this point, they're still thinking about suppressing wizards?"

"Yes." The combat sentinel also found it unbelievable, but it was the truth. Perhaps the brain circuits of the extraordinary world were different from those of ordinary people.

Locke chuckled to himself.

His facial expression was almost out of control; it took him a while to calm himself down and stop himself from laughing out loud.

How many mobile combat vehicles are on standby at the Dolan Church Building?

"Three."

"We have one team from Operation Sentinel, and two other teams from S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Let's close the net."

Upon hearing this, Locke ordered, "Give the three mobile teams the order to immediately arrest anyone who shows up outside the Dolan Building. If they resist, shoot them."

The combat sentry nodded, turned around and operated the system, relaying the latest orders to the three mobile teams that were staking out the perimeter of the Dolan Building.

Because it was a joint operation, and because of the success of the last joint operation, Locke, as the operation director, naturally had the authority to command the operation.

Locke didn't intend to close the net so quickly.

but……

He reviewed the witch's memories and learned that the Church of Doran was somewhat unpopular among wizards.

But he never expected that the Dolan Church would be so unpopular.

With a single decree, countless wizards sprang into action, eager to accept the rule of the Sentinels and the Shield, and utterly refusing to accept the oppression of the Church of Doran.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Since the situation is so favorable, the previously established strategy of gradual progress must be changed.

Quick fight.

There's no need to prolong things if they can be accomplished in one fell swoop.

After giving the order, Locke turned and walked outside.

Seeing this, Natasha quickly followed.

"Where to?"

"Dolan Church."

The three mobile teams were adequate against the Dolan Church's wizard hunting squad, but they were somewhat inadequate against the wizards inside.

and……

Those twenty wizards have already been reserved by Hydra for a huge sum of ten million.

Locke must guarantee on-time delivery. What if he fails to deliver on time and Hydra blacklists him and refuses to cooperate with him again?

He was counting on the ten million after the delivery to buy a house.

Outside the Doran Church.

The three action teams, having just received the latest combat orders, saw six groups of wizard hunters, exuding murderous intent and wielding medieval battle axes, emerging from the nearby Dolan Building as soon as they hung up the communication.

next second.

The leaders of the three action teams exchanged a glance, and then all ran out from their positions.

"stop."

"Don't move!"

"Put down your weapons, now, immediately, right now."

Three action teams, totaling eighteen members, armed almost to the teeth, emerged from the darkness, catching the wizard hunters who had just stepped out completely off guard.

Seeing the heavily armed elite soldiers surging in from all sides, a wizard hunter with poor mental fortitude instinctively threw his battle axe at one of the soldiers.

A wizard hunter who was just about to shout for them to stop saw this scene and a thought flashed through his mind.

"It's over!"

"Fire!"

"Fire! Fire!"

"Rat-a-tat-tat!"

"what!"

"Rat-a-tat-tat!"

Almost the instant the wizard hunter threw his battle axe, the three mobile teams, without hesitation, gave the order at the command of their three team leaders.

In an instant.

Flames shot from the muzzles, and in the darkness, it looked like eighteen fire dragons breathing fire as a dense hail of bullets instantly enveloped the wizard hunters.

Their latest orders were to open fire on the spot if the other side dared to retaliate, without warning.

and so……

The other side returned fire; they opened fire.

There's nothing wrong with it.

This group of wizard hunters is different from the vampires in the last operation.

Despite their many flaws, vampires are also known as the gatekeepers of the extraordinary world.

But even the most vigilant vampire is still a supernatural being, so ordinary weapons are ineffective against agile vampires.

But this group of wizard hunters was different.

They are just ordinary people. The reason they are called wizard hunters is entirely because the wizards of the Church of Dolan have granted them protection. As long as the wizards' magic power is not higher than theirs, these protected wizard hunters are not affected by magic.

but……

The magical barrier around them can only protect them from magic; ultimately, their bodies are still mortal flesh and blood.

and so.

The wizard hunter who had attacked first received extra attention. As flames splattered, he stood there, trembling uncontrollably. As more and more holes appeared on his body, blood flowed uncontrollably from his mouth and nose.

Without hesitation, the members of the three groups pulled the triggers and emptied their magazines in three seconds.

next second.

The sound of magazines being changed echoed throughout the room.

But at the entrance of Dolan Building, apart from the members of the three groups, there wasn't a single wizard hunter standing there.

The wizard hunters fell one after another into pools of blood on the ground. Some wizard hunters who had not yet breathed their last were spitting out blood weakly, but the blood flowed back and choked them, causing them to choke to death on their own blood.

All of this happened in less than ten seconds.

When the wizards inside ran out, they saw a scene of blood flowing like a river.

The Dolan wizards watched this scene with extremely grim and unsightly expressions.
