15. Brotherhood. Recruit new (above)
Despite having a shield that can absorb energy, Steve ultimately fails to truly defeat the young Kryptonian.
Especially when Clark increases his movement speed beyond the speed of sound, Steve's defense and counterattack become quite difficult.
On the one hand, there were few enemies that Steve faced back then who were as versatile as Clark, and the strength, speed, reflexes, defense, perception, etc., of the Kryptonians, were far beyond the limits of humans, and each ability was enough to crush an old man in his 80s in terms of data.
Steve only has an advantage at the level of combat experience.
On the other hand, the after-effects of sleeping in the ice for 60 years still linger on Steve, because he is too obsessed with dream visions, so his spirit is far from returning to its peak, after all, he has only been awake for less than a week, and when he re-enters the battle, his defensive and offensive movements will also seem a little sluggish.
It's like a weapon that has been stored for 60 years and has never been maintained, no matter how sharp it was before, it needs to be carefully maintained and polished before it can be used again.
"Smack"
Clark ran around Steve like a phantom, and like Merlin before him, he threw his fists, most of them on the shield, but a few more punches hit Steve in the back and chest.
When the opponent was too fast, Steve's defense was already flawed. Of course, Clark controlled the power of his punches so that he wouldn't break or injure Steve.
"Bang"
In the final collision, Steve's shield was held by the Kryptonian, and then, in the midst of a burst of power, the shield was pulled down from the old man's hand and thrown to the ground behind him, while he himself was pushed to the ground by Clarke's "gently" push.
"Ah, I lost."
The old man lay on the ground, and simply raised his hand to admit defeat, and there was no unwillingness or loss on his face.
This is a normal result.
Steve. As a veteran of many battles, Rogers knows his strength very well, and even when he is at his strongest, he has no chance of winning against young Kryptonians.
"Actually, I'm the one who loses."
Clark reached out to Steve and pulled the old man up from the ground, and he gave Steve a thumbs up sincerely, saying:
"I thought it would only take me a few minutes to defeat you, but I didn't expect it to drag on for more than 30 minutes... Your defense skills are amazing. β
"That's your mercy, young man."
Steve picked up his shield from the ground and said:
"You've controlled your strength, and if you do your best, I'm afraid that if you catch a mistake, I'll be beaten into a bloody corpse by you."
"But your combat experience is exactly what I'm missing."
The young Kryptonian spread his hands and said:
"I've caught your mistakes a lot of times, but I've missed a lot of chances to knock you out... If you have the same strength and defense as me, then I will really lose badly. β
"Well, stop flattering each other, my friends."
Merlin, who was standing on the edge of the training ground, flashed to the two guys and said to the two men who were sympathetic to each other:
"That's all for today's actual battle... Clark, I'm going to give you a new opponent from tomorrow, and I can't let you bully the old man all the time. β
"Oh?"
Clark glanced at Merlin, and said:
"An evenly matched opponent?"
"An opponent who allows you to fight without your hands and feet, while also pushing you to the ground and rubbing against you."
Merlin pushed his glasses and said seriously:
"You'll be battling a lord in Hell who will torment you with all sorts of dark magic and her rampaging demon army, a whole world you can roam and exercise your flying abilities along the way. You can go meet her now, and she'll be waiting for you in the hall. β
Xuanlan gestured to Clark and motioned for him to follow, and the young Kryptonian waved to his friend, and then followed Xuanlan back to the hall of the mystery house.
Miss Liana, the queen of the border, has been feeling bored lately, and she is happy to help Merlin train the young men.
Clark's strength is amazing, but in the face of Liana, who can control an entire dimensional power and is also proficient in various black arts, he is not very familiar with magical powers, and he is destined to be taught a bad lesson at the beginning.
"As for you, Steve, the warm-up is over, and I've got a new opponent for you."
Merlin snapped his fingers, and his belated apprentice emerged from the darkness and appeared in the training grounds.
Dressed in a training suit, with short blonde hair and carrying a long and short sword, Miss Victoria looked at Steve curiously, as she had been training in the Assassin League's training camp, her hands folded on her abdomen, and she leaned over to greet Steve.
"Don't underestimate this girl, Steve."
Merlin took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and he said to Steve:
"She's an Aegis witcher, skilled in assassination and stealth, and uses simple magic. She will help you get back to your best as quickly as possible in the next period of time. β
Merlin winked at Steve, and he said:
"I've trained her myself, and if you're too careless, she'll surprise you."
"Said good recovery training..."
Steve was a little speechless and said to Merlin:
"How do I feel like you're pulling me over as a sparring partner?"
"You're a fighter, Steve."
Merlin patted the old man on the shoulder, and said earnestly:
"Isn't the best recovery for a warrior to be a constant fight?"
"Listen to me, I've arranged a whole recovery training program for you, Victoria is the first ring, and after you pass, I'll arrange more witchers to fight against you until you become the super soldier who scared Nacui back then."
"But then again, aren't you really going to do a transformation?"
Merlin Says:
"It's a bit painful, but there's a lot of benefit to being a witcher."
"I've got this enough."
Steve waved the shield in his hand and said:
"When I was undergoing the Super Soldier Transformation, Dr. Erskine once told me that the potential of the Super Soldier Serum is strong, and it is not an overnight enhancement for me, and I still have room for further growth."
"Okay, whatever you want."
Merlin no longer persuaded, he looked back at Victoria, and said:
"Where are Layla and Miles?"
"They're going to recruit new people, Master."
Victoria whispered:
"They have found the descendants of another master, and if things go well, we will soon have new companions."
"Well, you're really good at execution."
Merlin took a few steps back, he looked at the Witcher Assassin and the Old Man Warrior who were ready for battle, and he whispered:
"Now, then, the battle begins!"
"Wow"
Victoria's expression turned cold as she reached out and drew the slender steel sword behind her back, moving as lightly as a ballerina, dodging Steve's sharp shield blow with two red somersaults.
The sword in her hand roared and stabbed at the warrior in front of her, and the moment the blade was blocked, Miss Assassin's wrist was lifted outward, and under Steve's surprised gaze, the dancing blade was like a spinning knife wheel, and the deadly sword dance swayed out in a light dance-like gesture in the space in front of him.
Of the three young Assassins of the Brotherhood, Victoria was the only one without a legendary Assassin heritage, but she had been trained by Merlin since her transformation into a witcher.
Her fighting style is the most Merlin-like.
"Bang"
After a round of sword dance was perfectly blocked by Steve with a shield, Victoria, who took a step back to avoid the counterattack, pinched his right hand, and the skillful Axifah seal was thrown, slowing Steve's counterattack for a moment.
"Poof"
A wound appeared on Steve's shoulder, and the captain, who sensed the threat, subconsciously waved his shield, and the round shield flew out of his palm like a high-speed spinning frisbee, hitting Victoria's raised steel sword, interrupting the attack of Miss Assassin the Witcher, and the shield returned to Steve's arm after the collision.
The scar on his shoulder had healed from the sword, but the remaining pain had made him completely let go of his contempt for the slender Victoria.
"Young people nowadays... It's amazing. β
Steve moved his shoulders and said:
"But that's not all, little girl... I'm going to be serious. β
βββββββββββββ
At the same time that Victoria, the military doctor, was violently beaten up by the captain of the old man who was getting serious, in front of a suburban villa in northern New York, Layla and Miles were hiding in the shadows of the grass, observing the quiet villa in front of them.
"John. Wick lives here. β
Miles lowered his voice and said to Layla, who was wiping the broken spear of the antiquity:
"That guy is a very boring person, he lives like a simple-minded robot, but the purer it is, the more dangerous it is. When I followed him yesterday, I saw what he looked like when he was 'working'... I saw with my own eyes that he killed 3 people with a pencil. β
"Born an assassin..."
Layla blinked, her yellow snake eyes glittering in the darkness, and she said:
"It seems that Wick's assassin bloodline is overt, and the power of his ancestors has been revived in him. Speaking of which, did you find information about his bloodline? Which legendary Assassin was his ancestor? β
"It's Connor. Kenway. β
Miles said in a definite tone:
"I used my connections with the League of Assassins to check on John. Wick's family profile, his ancestor, was a Master Assassin of North America during the Civil War, and Master Connor was a special Assassin in the Brotherhood records. β
"He's half Indian, so he's more inclined to break head-on when fighting, and he's more of a weapon master than a traditional assassin."
"Oh, just like you."
Layla said in a teasing tone:
"Aren't you also determined to be a master of weapons that can cut down all enemies head-on?"
"Don't be stupid, walking in the dark is our life."
Miles snorted, grabbed the sniper rifle beside him, and said to Layla:
"As I said, it was just an accident... I'm on, you get ready. β
βemmmmβ
Layla's fingers moved, the sharp broken spear darting around her fingertips, and she reached out to pull up the hood of her garment, covering her face as her ancestors remembered, and she whispered:
"Shouldn't you knock on the door to show your sincerity when you invite a newcomer?"
"Sincerity?"
Wearing a hood, Miles held the gun in his hand, he did not open the scope, instead, he closed his eyes.
Derived from the power of the ancestor AltaΓ―r, the divine eagle-eye perception erupted like radar at this moment, and in Miles's perception, he easily locked onto John in the villa. Wick.
With his finger on the trigger, he said:
"The Brotherhood of Lust has issued a summons to the ancient bloodline..."
"John. Wick must answer the call! That's our sincerity. β
"Bang"
The muffled sound of gunfire broke the silence of the night, allowing the birds in the woods to spread their wings and fly, silver bullets flying out of the chamber and shattering the glass, and in the piercing sound of shattering, it carried an ancient call towards John, who was sorting out his clothes. Wick shot away.
The latter seemed to sense the threat in advance, and the moment the bullet flew, his head tilted back, and the bullet lifted the broken hair on his forehead and smashed the closet beside him.
"Huh"
A pistol appeared in John. Wick was in his hand, but before he could raise his gun to shoot back, a sharp black shadow shot at him again, Wick's black pupils dilated, he leaned back, and in the extreme dodge, the sharp broken spear almost grazed his forehead and flew behind him.
But that's not all.
The moment she dodged the broken spear, Layla's shadow appeared in front of the flying broken spear like magic, she reached out and grabbed the spear of Leonidas, swept her left leg, and kicked Vic to the ground, Layla's arm stabbed downward like a cloud, the tip of the spear that shone with cold light, in the roar of death, stabbed Wick's eyes with precision.
"Ahh
Sensing the danger, Wick reached out and grabbed Layla's wrist with precision, letting the tip of the spear hover over his forehead, and in the midst of a burst of life-threatening power, he swung his legs on the ground and grabbed Layla's neck.
With a roar, John's legs slammed backwards, throwing the Assassin Lady backwards like a warhammer.
Layla rolled lightly in the air and landed firmly on the ground. Wick also got back on his feet with a classic jump.
He lowered his body, pulled a dagger from his shoe, and looked warily at Layla, who was wearing a white hood, a strange robe, and a broken spear.
Behind him, another slender male assassin tumbled into the room through the shattered window, his hands spread out, and in the crisp sound of machine springs, two Hidden Blades popped out from his wrists, and a cold and suffocating aura enveloped the entire room at this moment.
"John. Wick... Son of an Assassin. β
Miles said in a deep voice:
"The Brotherhood is calling you..."
"You have to respond, as always..."
PSοΌ
Tomorrow will add more, counting the original 3 chapters, it should be around 10 chapters... In addition, the plot has come to the present, and the plot before the Avengers has been almost handled, and there is at most one more chapter, and it will enter the familiar movie universe, and the heroes that everyone is familiar with will appear one after another, but after so long, the development of the story plot is definitely different from the movie story, and I plan to use the movie's character design and the major event plot of the comic book to write some new stories, which can be regarded as a new attempt.
Well, I'm almost halfway through the writing when some big twist is coming.
