Chapter 384: Heavy casualties
Many citizens who had been hiding for a day also emerged from their hiding places, and the aliens who had previously thought they were hideous and terrifying did not seem to be the same.
What spearguns, crossbow arrows, shotguns greet together. When some people saw that the Zitari were about to run into the sky, they threw fishing nets down from the top of the building, and the blind cat touched the dead mouse, and more or less they could catch a few of them.
The remaining military weapons also opened fire again, and all the targets were aimed at the sky, and at this time one more could be hit.
The mercenaries who had been hiding in the tavern and fighting with the Zetarians in the streets also shot at the sky one by one, as if celebrating a holiday.
"Stop ......me," Lorna said to her friends, and then a little green light shone between her fingers, and she placed a formless, insubstantial magnetic net around the tavern.
Many of the Zetarians who flew by here fell headlong before they could understand what was going on, and then became the talk of the mercenaries in the future.
The resistance was more fervent in the two places where the heavy troops were gathered, but this refers to ordinary people, the heroes as the main force of the battle, fought for a day, and basically ran out of energy, several mutants from Xavier's school went back to take care of the old bald head, only Wolverine and Daisy chased them all the way, and finally joined up with Captain America.
"Captain, thank you for your hard work." Despite the disagreement, Daisy respects Steve. Rogers, you can see how fierce the battle was by looking at his blood.
The blood of the Zetarians was iron-gray, and the blood on Captain America was mostly his own, and when Daisy found the veteran, he was resting on the corpses of his enemies.
"Did this guy blow up?" Captain America asked, pointing to a deep pit not far away.
There were no corpses in the pit, only the hoods of some supergiants, fragments of cloaks, some blue blood scattered around, and a few completely charred psychic extraction devices.
"Dead?" Daisy wasn't quite sure, she picked up the fragment that seemed to be a psychic extraction device, looked left and right, crushed it, and looked for similar targets nearby according to the device's special frequency, but found nothing.
Let the White Queen search with her mental power, but she didn't see a figure.
Whether it was blown apart or teleported away is unknown.
In Daisy's opinion, the probability of two outcomes is half of the chance, Thanos looks like five big and three thick, but in fact, he is a very famous scientist, he learned all the scientific and technological knowledge of the Eternals when he was a teenager, and then he wandered the universe for countless years, and it seems not surprising that he made an emergency teleportation device for his loyal subordinates.
secretly cursed the enemy's difficulty.
When picking up the shield of the American team and preparing to return it to him, Daisy discovered an unexpected thing, this shield was contaminated with the power of a lot of mind gems, that is to say, this shield exploded with the supergiant's spiritual power, and by chance, it had a little artifact characteristics.
Psychic abilities will bless the user, and the stronger the belief, the more attributes will be blessed. Originally, the shield was friendly to Captain America, but now it is about to become an exclusive weapon.
Daisy was stunned for a while, could it be that the same was the case in the original plane?
If Captain America holds this shield, then a lot of incredible achievements can be explained, and the power of the mind is infinite, Steve. Captain Rodgers is a man of great faith, and the combination of the two is simply invincible......
Hand the shield to Captain America, and in the future, as long as he holds this shield, he will be immune to all psychic abilities that are lower than the Mind Gem, and the effect can be said to be very strong.
"Give me the scepter, it's under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s jurisdiction." A major tries to take the Psychic Scepter, but is snatched by Daisy, who is quick to go.
The other party held on to her gaze for two seconds, and finally chose to back down.
Count you as acquaintances! Daisy doesn't care who the other party has been instructed to take the scepter, it's S.H.I.E.L.D. stuff! Of course, it's hers......
What is the purpose of all the hard work to climb to the top of S.H.I.E.L.D., isn't it just for these things?
Peggy. Carter's words are good, give in when you can make a move, and don't retreat half a step when you can't, this is the spirit of S.H.I.E.L.D. inherited by the fire!
However, there are too many people who saw the Mind Scepter on the spot, and it is not enough to count it directly as their own private property, and they have to use the signboard of S.H.I.E.L.D. to hold the Mind Scepter and the Mind Gem in it in a short time.
As a device to control the six Infinity Stones, the Infinity Gauntlet has a very precise sequence of installing the gems, and every step cannot be wrong, from power, space, reality, time, soul to mind, it is a process from real to virtual.
Thanos has been holding the Mind Stone for countless years, and he can only use it as a scepter, and it is very telling that he is not in a hurry if he loses it, this gem is in the last step, and it is actually useless to hold it in advance.
But if Daisy gives up, that's not possible, anyway, it's always right to put it away first.
The battle continued until the sun set, and this Zitari invasion of Earth ended in defeat.
How many aliens killed, it is difficult to count in a short period of time, Daisy estimates that the Zetarians who came to Earth are estimated to be nearly 30,000, and now at least one-fifth, or even one-third, are dead, and there are many wounded remaining, and the main troop carrier like Arowana is even more exhausted, and the wounded muscles and bones are not enough to describe their losses.
"Your Excellency, Commander......" a colonel prepares to report to her.
Daisy waved her hand, indicating that she had returned the command, don't look for me! Want me to pay for the bereavement expenses? Dream! Go to your superiors.
The losses on the Earth side were very large, with S.H.I.E.L.D. agents participating in the battle of 4,000 people, and a rough estimate of more than 500 casualties, and more than 300 people were injured to varying degrees.
The agile agents have died so much, the army's death rate is even higher, the casualties must be more than 10,000, in the brutal street fighting, many squads have been completely wiped out, completely lost contact, plus the periphery of the clearance troops, the real number is counted, the sacrifice of 20,000, 30,000 is not unusual.
This pension would be an astronomical amount, more for the cost of post-war reconstruction, and that number could scare a lot of people to death.
Seeing that the battle was over, Okuroko, who didn't know that he was hiding in the cave before, jumped out and made a TV speech to the effect that God bless America and something like that, and then lowered the flag at half-mast, silent mourning and other procedures, and finally got to the point, calling on everyone to actively relieve the disaster.
Daisy calls a few relatives and friends, Lorna is safe, and Wanda protects her villa intact, she is overjoyed and praises Wanda for a while.
The headquarters and production workshop of Hammer Military Industry are in the suburbs, there are many mechanical soldiers to defend, and there is also the help of the maid lady, in general, the damage is not big, and she can find a few shareholders to share it evenly, without paying much money.
