boom--
A shell hit Sokovia Castle.
"Report to your posts immediately—this is not a drill, we are under attack, we are under attack!"
That's right, the Avengers have launched their attack.
This is quite different from previous Ultron movies, with the addition of Peggy Carter and " Mockingbird " Barbara Morse, and the enemy Witch and Quicksilver also "betraying" them.
Therefore, this battle was fought very easily.
Black Widow continued to drive her SUV recklessly, while her old partner Hawkeye stood in the back taking sniper shots, and Barbara sat in the passenger seat on the other side.
Thor is naturally the most mobile, responsible for picking off targets and suppressing the enemy.
Captain America rides his motorcycle, tasked with uncovering the henchmen lurking in the shadows.
The Hulk is undoubtedly the main damage dealer and destroyer; he's the epitome of tearing apart tanks.
Quicksilver is tasked with disrupting the rhythm of the battlefield by appearing in unexpected locations to ambush enemies.
The Aomei was responsible for providing support, a rear-line support role. However, dealing with these small fry didn't require her dedicated support at all; magical destruction waves... shot out one after another.
Tony is in charge of the frontal assault...
The result—thump!
It still crashed into the protective shield on the fortress wall.
"Crab Special!"
Captain America: "Don't swear. JARVIS, how's the situation from up there?"
"Some kind of energy shield protects the buildings inside. Strucker's technology is far more advanced than the Hydra Base we captured before," JARVIS replied.
"Oh—it seems we've found Loki's Scepter. It must be inside. Without it, Strucker couldn't have this kind of defense," Captain America said as he hammered away the soldiers.
Loki's Scepter?
Everyone was a little confused. Had they guessed wrong? The scepter really wasn't in Kino's hands, and he hadn't taken it? Even Aomei and Quicksilver, who knew the truth, were somewhat bewildered. Of course, Kino wouldn't tell them the plan.
Well, only Tony knows the truth.
Even Black Widow was somewhat bewildered. "Could it be...?"
"Could it be what?" Hawkeye asked curiously after drawing his bow and shooting an arrow that blew up one of the henchmen.
"Nothing."
Could it be a misunderstanding? Did he really not take the scepter? Then what about the months she was imprisoned?
Captain America and Carter were also a bit unsure of what to do.
" Thor, are you sure?" Captain America asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure. I'm very familiar with that energy fluctuation. There's over a 90% chance the scepter is inside," Thor replied.
Inside the fortress at this moment.
The baron was furious. "Who gave the order to attack?"
"Mr. Strucker, the Avengers are here. They've landed on the outskirts of the forest, and the guards are in a panic," the soldier replied.
"Damn it, they must be after the scepter." The baron was furious. Sure enough, the package had been exposed. He'd thought half a month had passed without a trace, and he'd almost... Crab. "Can we stop them?"
The soldier looked completely bewildered. "They're the Avengers."
"Deploy all tanks! Concentrate firepower on their weak points; the attack might rally them. We will never yield. The United States sent their monsters to test us; we will send their corpses back."
"Never surrender!" the Baron shouted.
"Never surrender!" the soldiers shouted in unison.
Shouldn't this be considered betrayal? Knowing they were outmatched, why go? Wouldn't that be unwise? How come no one betrayed them? I must say, Hydra's brainwashing skills are quite effective.
Then, the Baron whispered to the Doctor, "I'm prepared to surrender. You'll have to delete everything. If we leave the 'Scepter' to the Avengers, they might not investigate our research further."
After a fierce battle, the Baron was captured, and Tony copied Hydra's research data, as well as...
"Hey guys, I think I've found my target."
Thor: " Loki's Scepter?"
"Yeah, but... it wasn't just the scepter, there was also a huge... Chitauri Golden Dragon Fish, and quite a few Chitauri corpses and equipment. Looks like... they've got quite a haul," Tony said.
"What about these? Shall we move them all?" Captain America followed them in.
"No way! Let's leave it here and hand it over to headquarters," Tony said.
How could we possibly move all of this? For one thing, we couldn't move that enormous Golden Dragon Fish alone.
"Let's go first. We can't clean this up in a short time. We've already found what we were looking for," Tony said.
"That's the only way."
Looking at the scepter in Tony's hand, Captain America was somewhat bewildered. The scepter was actually...?
Did you misunderstand Kino?
But when did the scepter become fortified? After Carter took it away, only his own people could get close to it. When was it switched?
Could it be that Natasha really...
No?
Since Kino chose her, she shouldn't be Hydra. And if it really was her, why would she be imprisoned? However, what's strange is that Alexander Pierce's expression at the time didn't seem like he was acting, unless he was a highly skilled actor. But if Pierce really took it, he had no reason to put on such a show.
At the time, no one knew that he was the boss of Hydra.
If it wasn't Pierce, then who else possessed such extraordinary abilities?
For a moment, he was confused.
"What are you thinking about? Let's go." Tony walked up to Captain America and called out.
He knew exactly what Captain America was thinking, and smiled smugly to himself but said nothing. In reality, he still didn't like Captain America. Although they were now allies in the Avengers, they still had many disagreements about their respective ideologies.
"Oh, it's nothing."
Hawkeye was still injured on the plane, how strange!
Thor looked at the scepter placed in the box and breathed a sigh of relief.
Captain America walked over and asked, "This scepter?"
"I don't know, we need to do a final confirmation."
"I've always had a question."
"What?"
"I was curious when Kino turned you into countless versions of himself. He has many abilities, but... they seem different from before," Captain America asked.
"The power of the Aether."
Odin told him a lot, but... he doesn't plan to tell his friends yet.
" Aether can alter reality."
"What?"
"Simply put, it's 'ideas.' What you think can manifest in reality. It can even turn you into a rock or create something out of thin air. At its most extreme, it can destroy reality," Thor explained.
If Maria Hill were here, she would definitely tell Thor that Kino has a kind of magic called " Arc of Manifestation," which is the ability to materialize thoughts in one's mind into reality.
"That terrifying?"
"Yes. You should know about the riots in Britain earlier."
"Yeah!"
"That's where he got the Aether, or more precisely, the Dark Energy... the one that was possessing Jane Foster."
You've already said that.
"Oh, sorry, my mind's a bit muddled, I forgot." Distracted by the "sister" matter, Thor felt a sense of danger approaching.
"Hey Banner, Dr. Zhao is on her way from Seoul. Could she set up an operating table in your lab?" Tony asked, turning around as he was parking his plane.
"Yeah, she knows what to do."
"Thank you. Have her prepare everything; Barton needs comprehensive treatment this time."
