The first impression of the Swiss Guard, a papal one, is usually a ceremonial force of less than 70 men, dressed in fancy Renaissance armor and armed with spears.

But in reality they are much more numerous than this, and they are rigorously trained and equipped with sophisticated modern weapons. After all, the Vatican has collected tithes in Europe for more than a thousand years, and there is no problem of not being able to afford troops, and this country has a huge influence in the world that is completely disproportionate to its land area.

"At this juncture, the Pope sent his own guards here. Evenson licked his lips and said, "Then there must be something great here." ”

"Maybe the Demon Child himself is here. Claire made a guess.

"Possibly. Evenson turned to Melinda and said, "Contact the headquarters and ask them to send a note to the Vatican and ask them how much they know and how far things have got." ”

"Okay. Melinda nodded and immediately pulled out her phone to make contact.

Then Evenson looked at the corpses of the intruders and said to Rumlow, "Go and verify their identities, maybe you can find out the boss behind them." ”

"Yes. Rumlow obeyed, walked over to a corpse and crouched down, and began to scan and compare the corpse's face with the individual combat terminal on his left forearm.

This terminal is connected to the S.H.I.E.L.D. database, and with Rumlow's permissions, it can find out the identities of most people in the world. It only took a dozen seconds for Rumlow's terminal to find out the identity of the corpse. But Rumlow did not rush to report, but, out of an abundance of caution, scanned several other bodies one after another.

After that, he whistled and said, "They're pretty famous, they're Carrigan's." ”

Evenson scratched his head a little embarrassed, I don't think they're well-known, I've never heard of him.

"Shame on mercenaries. Rumlow reminded Evenson by a nickname that he thought was famous.

I still haven't heard of it, and sure enough, their popularity is too low. But... Evenson looked at Rumlow a little strangely, and that was like saying you're not kidding me, are you?"

Feeling Evenson's distrustful gaze, Rumlow replied, "Judging from the traces of the battle on the scene, it is obvious that this place has been sneak attacked, and it is Carrigan and there are many of them. ”

"And... It's a shame to say that Carrigan is a mercenary, not because they are ineffective. It's because their character is so bad. ”

"Huh?" Evenson raised an eyebrow, "mercenaries are still in the business, and there is such a thing as moral conduct?

"Most mercenaries look like this, but this Carrigan, he's even worse. Rumlow said with a slight disdain.

"For example...?" asked Evenson.

"They often blackmail their employers to make them pay more when the task is at a critical moment, and sometimes they break the contract and just abandon the task. And they don't just work as mercenaries, kidnapping tickets, selling laundry detergent, making munitions, and even blocking roads to rob and collect protection money. ”

"It's such a mercenary's shame..."Evenson shook his head, he felt that Carrigan and his own could lower the already bad reputation of the entire mercenary community.

"Forget it, don't talk about this scumbag, anyway, his employer this time is not the kind of person who can break the contract casually. Evenson took a deep breath and said to Rumlow, "You know what to do now, don't you?"

"Yes. Rumlow replied in the affirmative, "Immediately satellite locate Carrigan, monitor his communications, and find out who is behind him." ”

Evenson nodded with satisfaction, if this guy can be a cadre, his brain is better than the average little minion.

Then Evenson turned to Melinda and asked, "Is there any news from the Vatican?"

"Nope. Melinda put down her phone and shook her head, "The people at the headquarters said that the Pope was in retreat and prayed, while others said that they would not reveal anything about Eastern Europe to anyone unless they received an edict from the Pope." ”

"You don't want to say anything to S.H.I.E.L.D., so rigid?" S.H.I.E.L.D. was shut up, which surprised Evenson, what age is this, and it is not the Middle Ages when the Pope can appoint and dismiss the king at will, they still dare to put on a stinky stand with S.H.I.E.L.D.

"In fact... S.H.I.E.L.D. has been in a bit of a stalemate with the Vatican lately. Melinda said helplessly.

"And this?" Evenson was very strange, the Vatican has always been very peaceful, how could it be a stalemate with S.H.I.E.L.D.?

"Because after the Great War of New York, almost the whole world knew about Thor. Melinda said.

"Could it be..."Evenson thought of a possibility, "The Pope is so brain-dead that he declared Asgard a heretic and asked Earth to organize a crusade against them, right?"

"It's not so brain-dead, but it's pretty much there. Melinda pouted and said, "They think that since there is a northern beggar, then the southern emperor... Oh no, yes, since the long-lost Norse mythology is true, then there must also be a more widespread belief in God. ”

"So they looked at it and decided that they were going to appoint a cardinal to S.H.I.E.L.D. with actual powers, and that S.H.I.E.L.D. would support them in reinstating their tithes. ”

"Hehe... This is really sick, it has to be cured!" Evans laughed dryly, "Moreover, even if God really exists, it is an alien like Asgard, and it is okay to cooperate with aliens in friendship, but if you believe in aliens, you are brain-dead, and if you obey outsiders, you are a ball rape." ”

"I'll talk about that later. Melinda looked up, "I found that there are a lot of surveillance cameras here, although they are all damaged, but the monitoring room should have kept information, I hope it has not been destroyed." Let's take a look. ”

"Okay. Evenson nodded. But at this moment, the group of action teams he had sent out to search returned, and there was also a black man in a brown leather coat.

However, Evenson saw that several of them had blue noses and swollen faces, and the one who walked in front had a nosebleed. I'll go, if the image is not good, just hide in the back, standing in front of me like this is to ask for credit?

I saw that they were angry and threw the black man to the ground hard, and then used an electric baton to electrocute him.

Evenson isn't happy, what's the matter? Africans don't have human rights, why are you calling him...... Don't call me.

"Sir, we were ordered to search along the route and found a crashed off-road vehicle and a motorcycle. The team leader of the search team reported.

"And he—" Evenson asked, tapping his chin at the black man on the ground.

"We heard a cry for help while we were searching, and then we found him on a cliff branch, you son of a bitch are really lucky. As he spoke, he touched the wound on his face, which seemed to have been beaten out by this black man.
