Chapter 334: Guardian Mercenaries
The origin of the Chaldees is a question left over from history.
Although it is said that with the current strength of Shen He and others, there is no need to rangle a non-existent Chaldea as a backer, but it is not easy to correct it.
That being the case
"I say, Tony." Shen He showed a slightly tangled expression, but he seemed to be a little proud, "Don't you feel strange why the crisis prevention measures in your world have stabilized, but the headquarters still sends me a steady stream of powerful servants and all kinds of rich materials."
"Ugh." Tony was stunned for a moment.
He hadn't really thought about it.
For him, who had been to another world once and personally felt the connection between the servant and the master, he could understand that this was a strict subordinate relationship.
When you think about it, it's a bit strange.
Shen He's strength has improved too quickly, and the treatment given to him by such a headquarters is too high.
One is stronger than the other's subordinates, one is stronger than the other, and even now allows him to develop a world where human civilization is almost extinct.
"The number of Lords in Chaldea is not very large, and I am a special one in it." Shen He looked at Tony, and finally decided to be blunt, "There is someone above me." β
ββ
Tony's expression is more exciting.
He himself is a super-rich second generation, and naturally understands that this world is unfair, and some people can have everything that others don't have as soon as they speak out.
It's just that he never thought about it.
Even in places like Chaldea, does this kind of "man above" relationship exist?
"You don't really have to worry too much about it." Shen He leaned back in his chair and glanced at him and Coulson, who was silent on the side, "There is an ancient saying in Huaxia, it is called that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky, just like S.H.I.E.L.D. is an unimaginable behemoth for ordinary people, and Asgard is a civilization and force in another realm for the earth, although the Chaldea is a multiverse-level force, but we dare not guarantee that there will be an existence above us, and it will look down on us like we look down on you." β
This sentence is from his heart.
Two years ago, he was just an ordinary person.
Suddenly, the fantasy world turned into reality, and the fantasy characters really appeared around him.
Not to mention anything else, at the very least, the origin of the system is definitely beyond the level of this entire fantasy world.
It would be naΓ―ve to think that you can be invincible in the world and invincible in the world.
It's like the magicians in the world.
is so invincible that he can't even recognize his own status.
"It's a bit hard to accept." Tony shook his head, "Especially for a super genius like me. β
"Go to ββ!"
Shen He's face darkened suddenly.
He originally wanted to comfort this extremely insecure Iron Man, but now seeing him look like such a stinky fart, there is no need at all.
He should be dealt a good blow.
Shen He was full of malice, thinking that when he could recruit a bug-like scientific research practitioner, he would throw this Iron Man aside.
After Tony said that, he stopped talking.
Don't think about things that are hard to change, this kind of survival science that is easy for ordinary people to accept, but it is especially difficult for Tony.
He never gave up at will.
Just like when he was caught by terrorists, if it weren't for this character of never bowing his head easily, I'm afraid he wouldn't be here now.
What's more, the existence of Chaldea is indeed like a mountain that has never existed, overwhelming him, like never-ending knowledge, the more he understands, the more he can feel his own insignificance.
Shen He could see that Tony was still a little embarrassed, but he didn't bother to say anything more.
Different people have different rules of survival.
If he was like Tony, I am afraid that he would have been tormented by the origin of the system and could not live.
Several people were thinking about their own business, and it wasn't long before Steve finally arrived from the ground.
He hadn't been to the Sky Garden a few times, and his knowledge of the parallel worlds was limited to those he had obtained from the Chaldean system through permission.
So at this time, it looks like Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden, and the appearance of walking in is also a little restrained, and she is even carrying a shield and is fully armed.
"Are you wearing this uniform at all times," Shen He looked at him with some surprise.
"I thought there would be a mission." Steve walked over and saluted Shen He first.
"Well, I can imagine."
Shen He looked up and down at the Captain America he hadn't seen for a long time.
How to say it.
As a soldier, his temperament has not only not decreased, but has become more intense, but compared with before, he is more like an officer with real power, or even a general!
"There is a riot going on in your parallel world." Shen He motioned to Coulson to hand over the information to Steve, and then continued, "Although the Chaldeans don't care about the losses caused by human civilization due to infighting, I still care, so I don't plan to continue to drag on as originally planned, how much power can the current Guardian Company show?"
"I've already brought all the data."
Steve pulled out a notebook from his body.
"Are you serious about the notebook" Tony seemed to be taken aback and a little speechless, "What age is this, old antique ideas can't manage the company at all." β
"I also use all the machines when I'm working." Steve explained for himself, "I just don't like relying on them very much. β
"Okay, okay, anyway, your appointment was decided by the river." Tony crossed Jiro's legs, "It's up to you to make the river satisfied." β
When Shen He decided to make Steve the head of the Guardian Company, Tony was actually against it.
He thinks Steve is too righteous and rigid.
Such a person is likely to be exploited if he is in charge of the largest violent institution in the Chaldees.
However, Shen He agreed to add artificial intelligence supervision to all weapons, and he didn't say anything anymore, Tony believed in artificial intelligence more than humans.
Shen He didn't bother with the argument between the two, he just took the note from Steve's hand.
It is recorded in great detail and the handwriting is neat.
The current Guardian Company divides Guardians into three levels, of which the highest three levels are Super Guardians such as Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
The lowest level is composed of volunteers from all over the world, who control the war machine products purchased by themselves through virtual reality companies, and usually help the police maintain law and order, participate in firefighting, assistance, rescue and other civil guardian behaviors, and live a superhero addiction, and at the same time get a certain amount of compensation.
The second rank, this is the mercenary.
Guardians of this level are the true core team of the Guardian Corporation.
An army of more than 10,000 veterans, trained and at the disposal of multiple types of war robots and an ever-increasing variety of weapons, managed entirely according to the army model.
Of course, at this stage, all countries will have such a robot army controlled by soldiers, in contrast, the army of Guardian Corporation still only acts as a stateless mercenary.
For example, being employed in a war-torn country to protect civilians.
For example, go to dangerous places for expedition research.
Of course, there are also the most important tasks, such as fighting terrorists, further encircling and suppressing Hydra, etc., and even cracking down on the Ten Rings Gang, a gangster organization that has always been haunted.
"Steve deserves to be Steve." Shen He looked at the notes and sighed for no reason.
Under Steve's leadership, this unit is already a righteous army, not to mention internationally and even among the people.
"I just did what I was supposed to do." Steve smiled.
In the past six months, his heart has become more and more full, and he feels that he has truly found what he should do.
You don't have to care about the so-called world order, or you don't have to care about this gray world, but still uphold justice and sweep away the darkness as before.
"I have a question." Shen He closed his notes and squinted his eyes, "In the face of huge interests, can our guardians still be guardians?"
ββ
The smile on Steve's face gradually retracted.
He understood what Shen He was asking.
In fact, among the 10,000 second-level guardians, those retired soldiers may not really be "retired".
He knows these things very well, but he won't care about them, because he is a military management, and he only needs to perform the tasks he asks for under the rules, and nothing else matters.
However, now there is another world to face.
Steve couldn't help but fall into thought.
In the end, he gave the answer.
"Yes!"
"Oh" Shen He looked at Steve, who was affirmative, and couldn't help but smile, "Why"
"As long as the Chaldea remains in this world, it will do." Steve didn't have any special expression.
He has always known that this world is no longer the black and white world of 70 years ago, the current world is gray, justice may not be justice, evil may not be evil, but the reason why he has been able to uphold justice in the past six months is because someone has divided the gray world into two parts: white and black again.
The one who did this was the Chaldeans.
"So, gather all the Guardians." Shen He smiled happily.
"Yes!" Steve stood up and saluted again, "Sir! β
Everything is as he said.
Many of his subordinates are not real guardians, but each has their own position.
But even in the face of such huge interests as a parallel world, they can only be true guardians.
This is because of the Chaldeans.
The Guardian mercenaries, scattered around the world, were urgently summoned, and such a turn of events naturally aroused the attention of high-ranking personnel around the world.
Because the Sky Garden is the territory of Semiramis, it is difficult for the so-called agents and spies to detect secrets in such a place, and the parallel universe is still unknown information to the World Council.
So they can't help but worry about whether there will be a new crisis
It was only two hours after the convening order was issued, and Lu Dantou took the plane and hurried over.
Although he is not as beautiful as before, he is also living a very chic life.
Because the World Council regards the reuse of him as a gesture of goodwill to the Chaldeans, and any need to communicate with the Chaldeans is left to him.
For example, now.
Fury originally wanted to meet Shen He, and it would be nice to be able to meet Semiramis if he was not lucky, but in fact, he only met Coulson.
"You should know why I'm here." Fury looked at Coulson in front of him, and he also felt some emotion in his heart.
He once regarded this subordinate as his successor, but he didn't expect that S.H.I.E.L.D. would be gone if it didn't happen, and Coulson would have a better future and status than the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. instead.
"Of course." Coulson had a trademark smile on his face, "Sir, let me tell you, if this time the World Council can be honest, not only can you drink soup, but also eat meat." β
"That's the exact word," Fury's expression became odd.
"Exact words." Coulson nodded.
Then Fury was a little excited.
Shen He's personality has already been studied by specialized psychologists, and if he can say something witty, it means that he is in a good mood.
And as long as he is in a good mood, it means that he will not care about some innocuous small actions.
"Anyway, tell me what the hell is going on." Fury remained untouched on the surface.
"You'll know for yel, then." Coulson picked up his teacup.
Fury watched this action, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Before, he didn't know what it meant to serve tea to guests.
I know it now, but I might as well not know it.
Because if you don't know, it would be nice to be able to stay here for a while and strengthen your relationship.
But in the end, Fury still left honestly, and now it is no more than before, and the right to speak on this planet has changed.
Since Shen He asked them to wait.
Then we can only wait.
In fact, it didn't take too long, when the entire eight thousand guardians gathered in the Sky Garden, Shen He released the relevant information to each guardian.
Earth's parallel universe!
Mutant Wars!
Guardian mercenaries come from all over the world, even Wakanda, and even Inhumans have sent retired soldiers to join, so the news has spread all over the world in a very short time.
Of course, the top of the world.
For the sake of stability, Shen He limited the information of ordinary people to know about the parallel universe, and those high-level personnel naturally would not be stupid to go out publicly.
That's a huge benefit.
According to the information, although it can only be used as a transit point through the unique castle of Shenhe for the time being, the stable passage project that Tony is studying is already in close progress, and it may be able to completely open up the connection between the two worlds in the future.
We are all earthlings.
You can even find the same country, the same history, the same situation.
The meaning of this is completely different from that of extraterrestrial civilizations!
