The "Pacifiers" are powerful robots created by Vegapunk, modeled after Bartholomew Kuma. Their strength was such that even the Straw Hat Pirates before the Summit War had to fight them with all their might for a long time to defeat them.

In the world of pirates, the cost of one of these robots is equivalent to a Navy capital ship. However, this is because the industrial production capacity in the pirate world is not strong, and all parts and alloys must be specially made.

The World Government, ruled by the Celestial Dragons, would not improve basic industrial levels, as this would strengthen the military power of various nations and threaten their own rule. Anyway, they never lack money by plundering "Heavenly Gold."

The industrial production level in the Marvel world is centuries ahead of the pirate world, so the cost of manufacturing parts is naturally greatly reduced. After Lin Hao joined S.P.E.A.R., he used various black technologies to earn a massive amount of funds for S.P.E.A.R. Now, S.P.E.A.R., like S.H.I.E.L.D., is not short of money.

Therefore, Lin Hao deployed over a hundred "Pacifiers" at once, like dumplings being made. The tall robots stormed into the capital of Wakanda, firing lasers from their hands and mouths non-stop.

The "Lighthouse of Africa" was instantly engulfed in flames, leaving it devastated.

Everywhere, there were cries of pain.

"Bastards!!!"

From the platform in front of the Wakandan Royal Palace, the highest building in the distance, Prince T'Challa's face was contorted, and he was filled with rage.

He turned and rushed towards his sister's laboratory, intending to put on the Vibranium suit and transform into the Black Panther.

"Stop!" Queen Ramonda called out to him. "His Majesty is not here. Do you want the citizens to know that you stole and ate the Heart-Shaped Herb?"

"But..." T'Challa looked up, seeing the capital in ruins and a large number of citizens perishing in the flames.

"Even if you put on the suit, you can't defeat so many robots."

Ramonda was not an ignorant commoner. She observed for a while and found that the defense of these robots was very strong. The Vibranium spears of the royal guard who rushed to the scene could barely penetrate their defenses, but they couldn't pierce through.

The robots' attack power was even stronger. Not to mention the lasers they casually fired, their sheer physical strength was enough to shatter stone. Any member of the royal guard who was hit by a single blow would basically lose their ability to move.

In all of Wakanda, only the past "Black Panthers" were qualified to consume the Heart-Shaped Herb. The royal guard, to put it bluntly, were just well-trained ordinary soldiers. Relying on their Vibranium spears, they were invincible against the regular armies of other countries.

The members of the royal guard did not have full-body Vibranium suits, so their defense was inferior to that of the past "Black Panthers."

This was also normal. If the royal guard had a Vibranium armor for each person and also carried Vibranium weapons, how could the King of Wakanda sleep soundly?

Even when Thanos attacked, the Wakandan royal guard only fought aliens with a single spear, even though rhinoceroses were clad in Vibranium skirts.

"Go and organize the citizens to evacuate to the air-raid shelters in your capacity as Prince," Ramonda lectured her son. "This is what you should be doing."

Compared to foolishly rushing forward to kill the enemy, organizing the citizens to retreat during a crisis could also win over a large number of people, laying a solid foundation for succeeding the king in the future.

The main reason was that they couldn't win. If they could win, they could repel the enemy with a few punches, which would not only win the hearts of the people but also consolidate their prestige.

After instructing the royal guards beside her to take T'Challa away, Queen Ramonda continued to stay on the platform in front of the royal palace. The enemy's surprise attack on Wakanda was likely aimed at Vibranium. She needed to stabilize the enemy while her husband was away, waiting for his return.

As long as the enemy had demands, there was room for negotiation.

Moreover, Wakanda was not entirely without the ability to fight back.

After the attack began, the energy cannons distributed in various districts of the capital began to counterattack automatically. The energy cannonballs fired at the "Pacifiers" could collapse the metal bones supporting their bodies with a single shot.

Fortunately, the robots had no pain sensation and were particularly durable. Even if they were injured or lost limbs, they could still continue to attack.

"Ordinary alloys are still a bit lacking..." Lin Hao, in the command center of the ring fortress, looked at the image on the screen, his desire for Vibranium growing even stronger.

It was a complete waste of Vibranium in the hands of these Wakandan trash. If it weren't for the Marvel official designation of Princess Shuri, these guys would only use Vibranium to forge armor and spears, a tradition they had maintained for thousands of years.

These selfish and ignorant black people controlled the greatest wealth on Earth but had not contributed anything to the advancement of human civilization.

If Wakanda had more advanced weapons when Thanos attacked, or if they had contributed Vibranium to create suits for the main members, perhaps Thanos wouldn't have had the chance to snap his fingers.

Was it that Vibranium was not enough?

They had even equipped rhinoceroses with Vibranium skirts!

These black people were so afraid of outsiders knowing that Wakanda possessed a large amount of Vibranium that they refused to loosen their grip at the critical moment of human survival, watching billions of Earthlings perish.

Lin Hao had no psychological burden in attacking such a trash country.

Since ancient times, divine artifacts have been possessed by the virtuous. Since the Wakandans were unwilling to use Vibranium to contribute to human civilization, Lin Hao would take it by force.

"Main cannon fully charged."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hao decisively ordered, "Continue firing, and let the fortress break through."

As the order was passed down, yellow lasers emerged from various edges of the ring fortress, converging like a trickle towards the main cannon floating in the center, and then the main cannon fired.

Yellow lasers of various sizes outlined umbrella ribs in gold in the air.

The handle of the golden umbrella ribs heavily struck Wakanda's shield, widening the opening that was about to heal. Gaps appeared like ugly white spots on a person's face.

After the laser bombardment, the ring fortress charged forward again.

This time, the tattered shield was smashed down, and the ring fortress successfully broke through, reigning supreme over Wakanda.

The energy cannons on the ground naturally turned their muzzles and fired dense energy cannonballs at the ring fortress. The fighter jets in the Wakandan hangar also automatically took off and engaged in combat under the control of the central system, swarming towards the ring fortress like a swarm of bees.

"Main cannon cease fire, secondary cannons fire freely, shoot down their planes and energy cannons," Lin Hao coldly conveyed the order.

The main cannon platform floating in the center of the ring fortress flew back to its position within the fortress, and the numerous secondary cannons on the fortress's edges began to fire freely.

Lasers shot out to different locations in the Wakandan capital. Thicker than those of the "Pacifiers," the lasers struck the energy cannons on the ground, blowing up ground-based cannons one after another in a short time.

Both sides were using energy weapons, and their guidance systems were on par, hitting their targets accurately.

The ring fortress remained protected by its shield, but Wakanda's ground-based cannons could not withstand this saturation attack.

Although the ground-based cannons also had their own defenses, they were too thin and were easily breached.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is powerful. You should transfer to a safe place and wait for reinforcements from the other tribes before retaking the capital."

While Wakanda only appeared to have one capital in the movie, in reality, the five major tribes each had their own territories. If the capital was attacked, the royal family still had room for strategic withdrawal. However, if they were forced to retreat, they would inevitably face criticism from the other tribes.

But if they couldn't even protect their lives, what future would they have?

The circular fortress had descended to within a hundred meters of the Wakandan Royal Palace, so Lin Hao's Observation Haki easily locked onto Queen Ramonda below.

"Trying to escape?"

Without a word, Lin Hao charged toward the nearest hatch and jumped straight down.

Conqueror's Haki swept through, causing everyone in the palace below to foam at the mouth and collapse to the ground.

Seeing their commander jump down, the other agents quickly boarded a suspended lift and descended from the fortress, catching up to Lin Hao who was treading on Geppo through the air.

Opening a small gap in the protective shield, Lin Hao led his agents into the Wakandan Royal Palace, easily capturing Queen Ramonda.

Now, apart from T'Challa, the entire royal family was accounted for.
