Chapter 419: X-Men’s First Battle

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Charles led everyone to his castle. This guy was indeed a rich second-generation heir. There weren’t many castles in America. Wesley had no interest in castles, or he would have built one himself. A Manhattan estate was more to his taste.

Charles began to train these future X-Men for the final battle, and Wesley began to pay attention to the fleet NATO was preparing to launch. It seemed that Sebastian Shaw had gone to NATO.

It basically had nothing to do with him anymore. He wouldn’t be able to maintain this body for long, and he wouldn’t care about it in the future. Going home was the main point.

The NATO fleet set sail. They were not escorting a nuclear bomb, but a construction team. This was the construction team that was going to build a base in the archipelago. However, there were only crews and equipment on it and very few people. NATO also knew that the trip would not be too peaceful. The American fleet was going head-to-head. After all, building a military base on their doorstep was intolerable.

The two sides did not deploy aircraft carriers, but faded battleships and missile destroyers. Although the U.S. warships are more advanced, a NATO general has been controlled and pushed hard for this operation. The U.S. reputation is to test the bottom line of the United States. Sebastian Xiao knows that NATO will not want to go to war, so this test is also very careful, but it doesn’t matter. He will turn the test into actual combat.

At an altitude of 28,000 meters, a Destroyer hovered in the air. Wesley sat with Logan and watched the screen. “You invented this? How many years ahead of the world?” Logan was surprised when he came up. He couldn’t describe the fighter Wesley was piloting.

“How many years ahead? I don’t know how to calculate that. Besides, it’s not good for the world to develop too fast. Technology needs to be developed in all aspects, or the balance will be lost. Now let’s see how these children are doing. I hope they can make progress.” Wesley’s face looked old, but Logan had always felt that this was just a façade. He felt that Wesley was dangerous and that he might not be his match. He felt strange about this.

The two fleets began to close in on each other. A single transport was sailing in the middle of the two fleets, both sides ready for war. Wesley muttered, ‘It doesn’t make any difference.’ Logan didn’t understand.

A jet told Flight to come, and Wesley laughed. Hank was indeed a genius. This plane was entirely of his own making. Wesley did not offer any help. Such a guy would be a good helper in X-Men Headquarters.

In the movie, Eric got the submarine out from under the sea, and the two sides fought on their own. In the end, Sebastian Shaw was killed by Magneto, and he expressed his displeasure with Wesley. “Logan, what do you think?”

“They fight on their own without the slightest cooperation. Even if they do, it’s just a sudden inspiration. There’s no plan or practice at all. These children still have a long way to go.”

“That’s right. That’s why I said they need you. You’ve been in the army long enough to know the importance of cooperation. Besides, these guys are completely disorganized and undisciplined. They can do whatever they want. They can’t do that.” Wesley looked at the situation below.

Magneto, who had killed Sebastian Shaw below, was preparing to set up another base when the fleet in the distance changed.

Inside the United States Department of Defense, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency made an effort. “Gentlemen, we should use this opportunity to kill all these strange people.”

“Do you know what you are talking about? General Wesley Gibson established and controlled the X-Men General Headquarters. They are an agency equal to the Central Intelligence Agency,” the current defense secretary asked.

“Of course I know, but these guys are too powerful. If they use government resources to develop, no one knows what will happen in the end. If we destroy them now, General Gibson will at most scold us. It’s better than losing control in the future. The general is old. How long can he last? His fame is disappearing.” The director is tempting the defense minister. Now it’s not a war between the two countries, but an attack on a simple island. The defense minister has the right to order it.

What he said was very tempting to Mr. Secretary of Defense. After all, it wasn’t easy for him to become Secretary of Defense. Wesley had asked to step down himself, or he still wouldn’t have had a chance. However, he didn’t dare change anything after taking office. These were all set by his predecessor, which made him not do anything at all.

“We can contact NATO and ask them to join the attack together. In this case, we will be much less criticized. I can call them now.” The director of the Central Intelligence Agency continued.

“Okay, call immediately.” The Defense Minister finally gritted his teeth and agreed. This was a good opportunity to damage Wesley’s reputation.

Both sides hit it off immediately. After all, the current situation has changed, and NATO is actually controlled by such a strange person. This is both terrifying and embarrassing, so they need to cover it up.

A joint attack was very appropriate. At the same time, it could create a small crack in the China-US alliance. Why not?

“Huh?” Wesley, who was watching the wonderful performance from high in the sky, noticed the movement of the fleet at this time. They were turning the muzzle of the cannon. Wesley did not expect it to be like this. Someone actually dared to order the bombardment of his own men. It was really a cold tea after people left.

“Interesting. Some people are already impatient. I’m not dead yet.” Wesley, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, pushed the joystick and the fighter began to lose altitude and speed. Then he pressed the launch button.

“Tututututu” The energy cannons fired a round of attacks, directly hitting a beautiful circle around the battleship, which shocked both fleets. Then they heard a voice from the loudspeaker, “I don’t care if you are NATO fleet or American fleet, I am Wesley Gibson. Now get out of here. The people involved in this matter, including the guy who suggested and ordered it, I don’t want them to sit in their original position.”

After the imperious declaration, the fighter landed on the island and Wesley stepped out with Logan. ‘Charles, I’m disappointed in you. Is this how you’re going to lead X-Men Headquarters?’
