Judging from the epaulets on some of them, their rank was no lower than that of a general.

At this moment, a heated discussion broke out in the office about Xu Fu's family and mutants.

"If this is a conspiracy by the Xu family, why don't we just deal with them? Why expand it to the entire mutant population?"

"You're too naive!" The white-bearded, black-clad general grinned. "Magneto and Professor X have a very strong influence among mutants. If they were to unite with mutants to launch this war first..."

"Wait, we still haven't figured out if the Xu Fu family's conspiracy is real, or if the mutant community is really going to war with us!"

"Ha, haven't mutants always been a threat?"

"Yes, mutants have always been a threat, and we must never let our guard down!"

"This is an opportunity! An opportunity to completely end these threats!"

"No, repeating all of this without evidence is murder!"

"Murder? How many people have these monsters affected? This is just eliminating high-risk factors! This is to protect even more people! You dare say they aren't a threat?"

"But how much blood will be shed? How many people will die or be injured?"

"You really think mutants are invincible? Don't forget we have weapons to deal with them!"

"You are..."

The president gently rubbed his forehead, and seeing the crowd arguing more and more fiercely, he shouted, "Alright, quiet! Silence!"

The arguing generals chuckled unhappily.

"If, I mean, if we take the necessary measures now and use special weapons, can we win?"

At the same time, the president turned his attention to the defense minister.

Many people were surprised when they heard the president's question.

The Secretary of Defense muttered to himself, "If we push the weapons made with the purification potion to their limits, they can deal with the vast majority of mutants. If we treat this as a war, we can win."

"What about casualties? Have you calculated the terrible consequences for Professor X and Magneto if they weaken their deterrent power and retaliate against us?"

"Heh." The Minister of Defense chuckled softly, "We have more than just purification agents."

sentinel.

This weapon, which has been secretly researched for a long time, is more targeted than the purification agent.

Compared to the lenient treatment of mutants, who are only arrested after their abilities are suppressed by purification agents, the Guardians are the epitome of slaughter and extermination.

Of course, few people know about Sentinel Prime, and it is not currently in use.

Ultimately, Sentinel Prime still has many flaws.

Fortunately, the mystery has recently been solved.

Based on this, the Minister of Defense decided to visit the Sentinel Laboratory after the meeting to check on the progress and prepare for the Sentinel to be deployed in actual combat.

After receiving the Secretary of Defense's reply, the President lowered his eyes and said to him, "Prepare to go to X's school and Future Technology Company to communicate with Professor X and Magneto and get their cooperation in our investigation."

Are you ready?

The defense minister's eyes lit up; he clearly understood what this so-called training meant.

He paused, then turned to Ross, who had been standing silently to the side: "Ross, take your guards and have them ready to fight at any time."

Ross nodded silently.

"Gentlemen, let's get started."

The president pouted slightly, got up, and left.

The other people in the office also left one after another.

The Secretary of Defense slowed his pace, walked over to Ross, and patted him on the shoulder: "...I had to assign this operation to you, Guardians, but you have to manage your team members well, don't you? I've heard that some people are very resistant to certain operations."

Ross glanced at the person he was speaking to and nodded: "Don't worry about these things."

"In any case, you've always been under our control, so there's nothing to worry about."

Defense Secretary Leon Cohen chuckled softly, patted Ross on the shoulder, and strode away.

He walked out of the White House, got into the car, told the driver his destination, sat in the back seat, and closed his eyes.

This is very dangerous; war is inevitable...

No, to be precise, war is inevitable.

He said coldly to himself.

Those damned mutated (Zhao Hao Zhao) monsters shouldn't live in this world.

All of this needs to be eradicated as soon as possible!

The thought that his daughter might be dragged into the case because of her mutant awakening abilities, resulting in injury and disfigurement, filled him with rage.

More than half an hour later, the driver stopped the car and opened the door.

"Sir, he's here."

Defense Secretary Leon Cohen opened his eyes, adjusted his clothes, got out of the car, and said to the driver, "Wait for me here."

"Yes, sir!"

Leon Cohen walked to the center of the research base in front of him.

This research institute belongs to the military. Although it is said to be conducting research on things like fighter jets, the real research project is for Guardian Song.

Chapter 1207 The atmosphere is warm

Of course, for reasons of secrecy, the Guardians' research work was conducted underground, and even the researchers at the surface research base were unaware that there was another research base below.

Leon Cohen arrived at the research base, and after entering the dedicated elevator and undergoing verification, he descended along the upward-only staircase to the underground.

After descending dozens of meters underground, the elevator doors opened, and Leon Cohen quickly stepped out.

The atmosphere outside the elevator was lively.

People in white coats were walking around, mechanical equipment and mechanical limbs were moving back and forth, and there were even mutants.

Leon Cohen ignored all of this and went straight into the office of the head of the research base, asking him to accompany him to see the latest Sentinel model.

The guardian is entirely black, covered in metallic scales.

At this moment, the dense electrical wires were brought before the sentry.

"How is the case progressing? Have the procedural issues been resolved?"

Leon Cohen gently stroked the sentry.

"It's been developing very rapidly lately."

Speaking of which, the commander of base 737 was also very excited.

The Guardians were designed to be machines that eliminate mutants.

To counter the vast number of mutant abilities, the Guardians will possess the powerful ability to replicate mutant abilities, but managing this ability will require the program to have formidable combat capabilities.

"Soon? How soon?" Leon Cohen looked at the person he was speaking to with displeasure. "I need the exact time."

"At the current development speed, if nothing unexpected happens, it will only take three months."

“Three months? That’s too long! Hurry up!” Leon Cohen said meaningfully. “Sentinels, you may need them soon.”

Upon hearing this, the person in charge felt a jolt in his heart and hurriedly nodded.

Leon Cohen chuckled and turned to leave.

After they left, in the empty room, the sentry's stern eyes, which shouldn't have moved, suddenly lit up with two red lights, followed by a flurry of data flashes, and then silence.

...

School X.

The school teachers were sitting in their offices.

Charles picked up the phone, listened to the messages from the Avengers, and earnestly expressed his gratitude.

Although they were prepared for what the Avengers said, being reminded at that moment made their stance clear.

Charles hung up the phone, let out a quiet breath, and looked at the teachers in the office.

The teachers' facial expressions were equally serious.

Looking at everyone, Charles gave a wry smile.

“I sense the doubts in your hearts.”

Meeting the gazes of everyone, Charles murmured to himself, "That's right, I am Magneto's brother, Erik."

This information is strong evidence, and Charles has no need to defend himself, although...

"To say that I conspired with him to drag mutants into a war with humans, to say that Xu Fu has some plot to destroy humanity, that's... absurd!"

Charles's face was full of mockery.

Upon hearing this, everyone else in the office nodded in agreement.

They believed in Charles.
