===================
The Mandarin asked the first question the time travelers ask, "Do you know the current year and month?"
Daisy felt three black lines must have appeared on her forehead. Who exactly is the time traveler?
Nevertheless, she still honestly replied, "December 2007."
The Mandarin momentarily fell into contemplation, wondering how many years he had spent on his training this time.
Daisy was overjoyed and called out to Bobbi, "Hurry up! Go to Kandahar..."
The drivers of the other two cars were also clever. They drove more than five hundred meters before stepping on the gas, and speeding away to the north.
"Why can this guy fly?" This was the first time encountering such a strange thing on a mission, and Bobbi was a bit startled. The Mandarin's overwhelming aura and pressure were genuine. Except for Daisy being able to chat casually with him, Colonel Rhodes was relatively normal. The rest, whether soldiers or agents, felt a palpitation in their hearts, as if facing a fierce beast.
It wasn't until the vehicles had driven quite a distance that the group regained some thinking ability.
"The world is too big, there are too many secrets, there are always strange people and events, just get used to it." Bobbi felt that she was too inferior, and Daisy could only comfort her that way.
The Mandarin's authority was fatal to ordinary people, but for her, it was still within a resistible range.
Colonel Rhodes's expression was strange. The Mandarin pressure also affected him. After a long while, he said, "We should call for reinforcements!"
Daisy felt that calling in reinforcements would be meaningless, but she didn't have much reason to refuse.
Ordinary people probably had to solve such matters on their own; they were different. They were organized people! The role of the organization should be evident at this moment. Maybe the military had some black weapons that could instantly kill the Mandarin?
Since Rhoddy had already requested military assistance, S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't ignore it either.
However, elite agents seemed powerless against such cutting-edge forces. No golden generation of agents was going to fight the Mandarin before dying in a single move. Daisy reported the situation to Nick Fury using a satellite phone.
"Aren't you a match for him?" Daisy couldn't discern any emotions from Fury over the phone, and he was calmly asking.
Daisy praised the Mandarin as invincible. In her mouth, he was like a god, capable of defeating her with a single breath.
"I'm sending Black Widow to support you. If you can't win, retreat. Remember, we are agents, not soldiers," Fury reminded her at the end.
Daisy was speechless for a moment. In terms of shamelessness and deceit, she still couldn't match her predecessors.
The Mandarin was undoubtedly powerful, but it wasn't very likely that he could defeat her with a single move. They could engage in a few moves, even if he used AOE skills, she could escape. The only regret was the soldiers and agents she had been with for over a month.
The calls to reinforcements and superiors were completed, but it didn't mean the situation was resolved. Nick Fury had merits but also drawbacks; his relationship with the Security Council was too poor!
Daisy learned from experience not to be as assertive as Fury. Utilizing her connections with Obama, she established a friendship with the old British woman Lady Lancer, a senior member of the Council. After Daisy helped Lancer's daughter defeat competitors in the same industry, their relationship grew even closer.
She explained once again what could happen on-site. Regardless of the ultimate outcome, it was always right to seek instructions early and report later. The Council doesn't even care about New York, let alone Kandahar. If you don't treat the Council as the big boss, they would dare to drop a nuclear bomb.
When reporting to Nick Fury, Daisy made the situation sound extremely serious. However, when dealing with politicians, she had to downplay it a bit because they tended to exaggerate the situation themselves…
She broke the events apart and told them again. The old woman promised to urge the military to support her. Although Daisy didn't expect to rely on this support, in the end she would have to rely on herself.
Twenty minutes passed since finishing the call.
"We should cooperate with the reinforcements and return to deal with the enemy!" The Colonel is very arrogant in the ability of his Air Force, he thought that no enemy could block the missiles and no one could fly faster than airplanes.
Daisy didn't how to explain to him that the problem is that you have technology while he has magical abilities. While the Mandarin is not as good as Thanos, he also has the power to wipe out a city.
Daisy felt that she understood Nick Fury a little at this time. She knew too many secrets, and sometimes, it felt like a burden to see other people being stupid.
After careful consideration, she could only analyze the existing conditions, "Colonel, I've encountered mutants before. Among them, those who can fly are strong. You should remember a point. Our mission is to rescue Stark, not to fight unknown enemies!"
In other words, let's prioritize escaping for our lives.
When it came to the matter of rescuing Stark, Colonel Rhodes finally abandoned his heroism, which was practically a suicide plan in Daisy's eyes.
The idea of calling in a helicopter for extraction was also vetoed by Daisy. On land, if they couldn't defeat the enemy, they could scatter and run away, as there was only one enemy. But in the sky? Once caught up, it would be one death with one aircraft!
Even the explosion of the aircraft could injure her, not to mention the ordinary people.
Daisy's reasons were compelling. The borrowed soldiers, including Rhodes's subordinates, all nodded in agreement. They would rather drive slowly and escape than take a helicopter!
With a unanimous decision, they floored the accelerator and desperately fled north.
It's a pity that they planned to take a temporary refuge, but the other side had no intention of letting them go.
Half an hour later, the Mandarin with big and fluttering sleeves caught up with them again, "Who are you?" Same tone, same flight altitude, except for the location, everything was identical.
Rhoddy looked at Daisy with a strange expression, as if wondering if this guy was really powerful. Why did he look like a retard?
Daisy was also speechless. The Mandarin's actions confirmed her previous guess that this guy had mental issues.
But this made sense; otherwise, with the Mandarin's casual strike being stronger than a missile, withholding a powerful move comparable to a nuclear bomb, he would have conquered the world a long time ago.
After eliminating a few unreasonable options, the truth of the matter is that this guy had gone crazy from his training.
The Ten Rings was like a company. Perhaps it was initially founded by him, but now it had little to do with him. Kidnapping Stark was entirely a job taken on by those people themselves.
Understanding the cause and effect didn't help much in the current situation. Daisy, under the expectant gaze of the group, stepped forward again, and like a broken record, repeated the previous conversation.
The Mandarin was once again confused by his own timeline and stayed in place, while the three multi-functional combat vehicles continued to accelerate wildly.
"It doesn't seem that powerful, huh?" In Daisy's eyes, it was a dangerous escape, but in Colonel Rhodes's eyes, it was nothing in comparison to the scolding he received in military.
Daisy was speechless about Colonel's intelligence. "Didn't you see the increasingly fierce light in his eyes? We'll be in big trouble if he catches up the next time!"
After she finished speaking, she began to assign tasks without stopping the vehicles. Everyone loaded their guns, grenades, rockets, and machine guns, all ready and in their place, preparing for the third pursuit.
