Thor Meets His Friends
"Roar!" Upon discovering that the Super Soldier had been instantly eliminated, the Animal Warriors also became enraged. Although they were unable to speak, their minds remained intact. Without even needing further orders from Hydra behind them, the Animal Warriors let out a roar and charged towards the Warriors Four.
Even halfway through the charge, several Animal Warriors suddenly took flight; they were flying Animal Warriors that Robet had never seen before.
Of course, these Animal Warriors can fly not because they possess special abilities, but because they are avian warriors, which adds to the diversity of Animal Warriors...
"Be careful, these creatures are not simple!" Sif's expression gradually became serious when she saw these Animal Warriors. There was no energy surging around these Animal Warriors Animal Warriors, but Sif keenly sensed the oppressive force emanating from their bodies, so she warned her companions.
The Warriors Three were no pushovers either. They were seasoned Warriors Three, and they naturally sensed the Animal Warriors ' strength. However, the Warriors Three tightened their grip on their weapons and said in a low voice, "Is Midgard this dangerous? We had warriors comparable to the civilians of Asgard before, but what are these things? Isn't Midgard only inhabited by humans and animals? These guys don't seem human..."
"Who cares what it is, just kill it!" Sif charged ahead, looking heroic and dashing as she headed towards the Animal Warriors.
It can be said that Sif is one of the few remaining female warriors in Asgard. In fact, if the Valkyrie of Asgard had not been abolished long ago, Sif might have become one of the Valkyrie.
Sif's first challenge was dealing with the Hawkman in the sky. After all, the ability to fly is a significant threat in ground combat, especially since dangers from all directions are relatively easy to detect. However, dangers from the sky are not so easy to deal with...
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
However, to Sif's surprise, while her blade did injure the Hawkman, the Hawkman's claws also threatened Sif. If Sif hadn't been wearing armor, Sif would have been bleeding just like the Hawkman.
In other words, the Hawkman's strength is indeed enough to threaten Sif!
Moreover, after being wounded by Sif's blade, the Hawkman did not rush forward recklessly, but instead retreated swiftly, instantly widening the distance between himself and Sif.
It's important to understand that while Sif's leap was indeed quite high, it still falls short compared to those who can actually fly, especially since Sif herself can't actually fly.
It must be said that the Asgard gods are in a somewhat awkward position in this regard. The vast majority of Asgardians cannot fly. Even Thor, can only fly with the help of Mjolnir. That is not Thor's own ability, but the ability of Mjolnir.
Therefore, in a sense, the so-called Asgard body is not actually a true god, but merely a more powerful life form. Even a god like Sif, who can initially grasp divine power, still cannot fly, unlike the Hawkman opposite her, who can fly by sprouting wings on his back...
However, Asgard still has its strengths, especially when Sif discovered that her ordinary attacks with her blades had not caused any damage to the Hawkman, her divine power surged, and in an instant, she unleashed the energy within the blade in her hand!
With a "whoosh!", a beam of light pierced the head of the Hawkman who had dodged away, killing him instantly. Even though the Hawkman could fly and was very fast, he could not dodge this beam of light!
Unfortunately, in terms of sharpness, Sif's blade cannot be significantly superior to Earth's metals. However, when it comes to power enchantments, Earth's metals are no match for Asgard's...
The blade in Sif's hand wasn't a divine weapon of Frigga's caliber, but the energy it contained was absolutely not to be underestimated, far surpassing the standard weapons of forces like Wakanda!
"Roar!" When the Hawkman died, the Animal Warriors became even more Wrath. McCarthy was watching from the sidelines, was equally furious. After all, while the sacrifice of Super Soldier was heartbreaking, it was still within an acceptable range. But Animal Warriors were different. The success rate of Animal Warriors was even lower than that of Super Soldier, not to mention that Animal Warriors also had the problem of lifespan.
Therefore, Animal Warriors are far more valuable than Super Soldier. Even if McCarthy wanted to brainwash and recruit the Warriors Four, he was not prepared to sacrifice too many Animal Warriors, since they were already considered Hydra's top individual combat force.
Although McCarthy was an undercover agent for another branch of Hydra, his ambition had grown to the point that he considered this branch of Hydra as his own property, and he could not accept losing too much of it.
Especially for Hak foo's lineage of Hydra, they did not manage to seize the data and remains of the Ivan Mecha, and therefore could not, like other Hydra or other factions, jointly develop Mecha to improve individual combat capabilities.
For this branch of Hydra, Animal Warriors were their greatest asset, at least until Baron Strucker's lineage reappeared before the public. Animal Warriors were their Hydra card...
"Should we send Thor on the mission?" Therefore, when McCarthy saw the Animal Warriors starting to take damage, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he did not make a decision immediately.
After all, while Hydra's brainwashing is very powerful, it's not without its moments of losing control; wasn't Bucky a prime example of this?
Thor seems fine now because Thor hasn't suffered any major trauma. Besides, McCarthy already sees Thor as somewhat mentally unstable. If Thor were to develop even bigger problems because of the Warriors Four, it would be something McCarthy would find even more unacceptable.
"I refuse to believe that so many Animal Warriors can't handle you alone!" After some hesitation, McCarthy didn't go to Thor, but instead sent more Animal Warriors to help. Even though only one Hawkman died, McCarthy still sent reinforcements.
After all, McCarthy didn't want the Animal Warriors to suffer more casualties, and the best way was to deal with the Warriors Four in greater numbers!
It must be said that McCarthy's plan was very effective. After receiving the order, the first batch of Animal Warriors did not continue to attack, but instead tried to entangle with the Warriors Four, buying time for more of their comrades to arrive.
The Warriors Four naturally realized something was wrong, but the problem was that there were simply too many enemies, and in terms of sheer physical strength, they were far superior to the Warriors Four. If it weren't for their Asgard weapons, they probably wouldn't have been a match for the Animal Warriors...
Therefore, the Animal Warriors ' plan to stall for time quickly succeeded. A Legion Animal Warriors appeared in front of the Warriors Four. Their numbers were not as many as the Super Soldier, nor as many as the Hydra Soldiers, but this number was still enough to shock the Warriors Four, and even make them feel a little desperate!
Seeing the densely packed Animal Warriors around them, the Warriors Four was quickly scattered and surrounded. It wasn't that they wanted to separate; they had initially tried to fight side by side. However, sometimes, fighting side by side wasn't so easy, especially when the enemy outnumbered them and was not much weaker.
Moreover, the Warriors Four couldn't just defend indefinitely without taking the initiative to attack and kill more Animal Warriors. Being surrounded like this, it was only a matter of time before they were worn down and died here.
Therefore, after several battles, although the Warriors Four successfully killed some more Animal Warriors, they were now separated and surrounded by the Animal Warriors, each of them caught in a simultaneous attack by the enemy...
"This is going to be difficult. We've been surrounded like this before, but back then, either Thor helped us out of the crisis, or Heimdall was able to bring us back. But this time, it seems unlikely..." Fandral, already injured, said helplessly, holding his longsword.
"Let's do our best. These guys don't seem to have any intention of letting us go..." Volstagg shook his head, his Battle Axe covered in blood, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.
"That's right! Asgard has no warriors who fear battle!" Hogun said with a ferocious expression, brandishing his Mace, which was covered in blood and flesh. "If you want to kill us, you'll have to pay a heavy price!"
With a "whoosh!", Sif, who was surrounded on the other side, did not speak. She gritted her teeth, and the sharp blade in her hand released powerful energy once again, killing several more Animal Warriors. However, the divine power in her body was also greatly depleted.
It can be said that among Thor's companions, Sif is stronger than the Warriors Three, and even Loki would not be a match for Sif if he didn't use illusions.
However, the number of enemies is simply too great now, and Sif's divine power is not without its costs. Releasing energy from her blade comes at a price; not every weapon is like Mjolnir, capable of storing virtually inexhaustible energy...
However, while the Warriors Four was in a difficult situation, McCarthy's expression was also grim. He had previously sent out all the Animal Warriors to capture the Warriors Four as quickly as possible without wasting so many Animal Warriors ' lives.
However, although the current battle situation is very unfavorable to the Warriors Four, it has still consumed a large number of Animal Warriors. These are the foundation of this lineage of Hydra, and they will all be his assets in the future!
However, McCarthy no longer has the opportunity to consider the issue of assets, because Hak foo already knows about it.
McCarthy was an undercover agent within this Hydra lineage, but he successfully rose to the top, becoming one of the few capable of commanding Animal Warriors and even Thor.
The problem is, this isn't McCarthy's Hydra. When the Animal Warriors suffer too many losses, someone will still notify Hak foo. Hak foo is indeed stronger than the Animal Warriors, but that doesn't mean Hak foo can ignore the depletion of his resources. After all, as the leader, he can't do everything himself, can he?
Although this time, Hak foo really needs to do everything himself!
With a loud "thump," while McCarthy was still worried about the losses of his Animal Warriors, Hak foo appeared in front of him and kicked McCarthy away.
McCarthy was just a Super Soldier, perhaps quite strong among Super Soldier, but compared to Hak foo, his strength was completely insignificant. He fell to the ground without any resistance, blood gushing from his mouth, unable to speak. He looked far worse off than the Warriors Four outside...
"I'll settle the score with you when I get back!" After kicking McCarthy away, Hak foo glared at McCarthy and headed outside.
Behind Hak foo was another person, none other than Thor, who had come to carry out orders.
"Open up the fighting distance between us and make way for me!" Soon, Hak foo appeared on the battlefield and gave the order to the Animal Warriors.
The Animal Warriors reacted swiftly to Hak foo's order, exposing a battlefield so that Hak foo and Thor could successfully enter the area where Hogun was located.
"Hmm?" Hogun was taken aback when he noticed that there were fewer enemies attacking him. He quickly took the opportunity to catch his breath and recover his strength.
The previous battle was so intense that Hogun didn't hear Hak foo's voice at all, or rather, he heard it but didn't react in time.
Hogun is now covered in wounds, and his original Asgard armor is tattered. Even though it's made of Asgard metal, it couldn't withstand the attacks of so many enemies, and even the relatively intact areas are covered in scratches...
"Huh? Thor?!" However, Hogun quickly spotted Hak foo and Thor entering. His eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly at Thor, "You're here! Quick! Help us deal with these monsters!"
"Huh?" Thor and Hak foo were both taken aback by Hogun's words. Thor's expression didn't change much, since he had been brainwashed and had no idea who Hogun was. He was just a little puzzled as to why Hogun knew his name.
But Hak foo was different. He frowned as he looked at Hogun and the other battlefields. After all, he hadn't asked McCarthy beforehand, so he certainly didn't know about the speculation regarding the identities of the Warriors Four...
"Since he called your name, then you can do it!" However, Hak foo quickly came to his senses, glanced at Hogun indifferently, and gave the order to Thor.
