Straker Castle, an ancient fortress on the outskirts of Skovia, is the base of Baron Straker, the last leader of Hydra.

Baron Straker's full name is Wolfgang von Straker, and in the comics he is a descendant of an aristocracy born in Bavaria, Germany, and his identity was modified in the cinematic universe to move Straker Castle near the virtual city of Skovia.

The defeat of Alexander Pierce and the North American branch of Hydra has had a big impact on members of the Hydra Order around the world.

Their identities were unreservedly revealed by Black Widow, and they could only leave their original base and flee in embarrassment under the pursuit of the secret services of various countries.

It was also during this period that Baron Straker withdrew his subordinates and forces from Skovia and moved to the castle on the outskirts of his inheritance.

Lu Xiao had no interest in the struggle for power within Hydra, and he didn't know how Loki's scepter ended up in Baron Straker's hands.

For now, he only needed to be sure of one thing, the scepter inlaid with the Mind Gem was indeed in Baron Straker's hand, and that would be enough.

According to Forry's agents, the castle was covered with a strong protective barrier.

Without special permission, the agents were unable to continue deeper into the castle by all means, and their weapons could not do any damage when they hit the barrier.

As the saying goes, the strongest castles are breached from within...... The Maginot Line? What is that, don't know.

Lu Xiao didn't think that he had to knock off Baron Straker's tortoise shell, which was Thor's usual style.

As early as the Battle of the Three Wings, he relied on a realistic performance to send Baron Straker a bottle of sweet poison - the Winter Soldier.

The Winter Soldier was no slouch in the Battle of the Three-Wing Mansion, as evidenced by his broken mechanical arm and scars all over his body.

Confirming that the Winter Soldier, who had fled to Eastern Europe, remained loyal to Hydra, Baron Straker cautiously brainwashed the Winter Soldier again, changing the list of his masters from Pierce to himself.

However, what Baron Straker didn't know was that in the bottom consciousness of the Winter Soldier's soul, neither he nor Pierce was the one with the first authority, Lu Xiao was.

According to Fury, the Avengers superheroes will arrive in Skovia within three days, and Lu Xiao is not an impatient person, and he patiently stayed in the small city of Skovia before reinforcements arrived.

Contrary to Lu Xiao's expectations, he originally thought that the Avengers would make a battle plan after arriving at their destination, but the steel armor that roared over the city of Skovia subverted his three views.

“…… Iron Man Stark? Is it so impatient? ”

As a hostile flying object approached, Straker Castle was alerted to the situation, and the entire castle guard was mobilized under the orders of Baron Straker.

A large number of Hydra soldiers armed with high-tech beam weapons rushed out of the castle in a neat formation, and many automatic defense batteries also protruded from the walls around the castle to attack Iron Man who was rapidly approaching the castle.

"Wow~"

Stark rolled in the air to dodge under the reminder of the artificial intelligence Jarvis: "A large part of the alien weapons left by the Zetarians were really handed over to Hydra by that bastard of Pierce for secret collection. ”

Thinking that he had personally handed over the Loki Scepter to Pierce, Stark felt very unhappy in his heart.

He and his comrades in the Avengers fought desperately to defend the Earth in New York, but after the war, they were played by Hydra who hid behind the scenes and picked peaches.

"Jarvis, give our old friend a little greeting gift."

"Yes, sir."

Countless miniature missile launchers popped out of the arms of the Iron Armor, and the entrenched Iron Man ignored the cost of these high-performance miniature missiles and presented them to Baron Straker.

However, Tony's missiles were blocked by the barrier that shrouded the castle, and failed to cause the slightest damage to the castle itself.

"Oh? I didn't expect that. ”

"Tony."

Captain America finally dropped off the Quint on a modified Harley-Davidson, and while he used his flying shield to clean up the surrounding Hydra soldiers, he reminded Tony, "Have you forgotten the information Ciel's provide?" ”

"Baron Straker most likely has the Loki Scepter in his hands, and he can use the power of the scepter to create a strong defensive position, and we must ......"

"Ha~"

Stark smiled sarcastically, hovering through the air to fight Hydra's aerial vehicle.

"Captain, you're not really going to wait for the support men Fury said about opening the barrier, are you?"

"With this strength of the defensive net, we can only break it from the outside with more firepower, and if that 'supporter' can really fulfill his promise, I will ...... on the spot Well? ”

The translucent barrier covering the castle's perimeter flickered a few times before vanishing without a trace, Stark looking embarrassed and bewildered inside his steel armor.

“…… Just kidding, right? ”

Hawkeye Clint Patton, who was in charge of piloting the Quint fighter, laughed out loud without giving face: "Tony, I really want to know what the second half of your sentence is. ”

……

The clock is back a little bit earlier.

When Iron Man launched an attack on Straker's Castle, Lu Xiao also activated the acceleration ability of the Hermes Boots and ran in the direction of the castle.

At the same time, he remotely activated the spiritual seed buried deep in the soul of the Winter Soldier, and effortlessly seized control of the Winter Soldier.

After being recovered by Baron Straker, the Winter Soldier was replaced with a new robotic arm, and Baron Straker kept him by his side as a confidant bodyguard.

The Winter Soldier's bodyguard mission is perfectly accomplished, and the taciturn Winter Soldier will not say anything about any of Baron Straker's secrets, and even if it is absolutely necessary, he will be able to reset his memories through brainwashing.

When transferring control of the Winter Soldier, Lu Xiao read the memories of the Winter Soldier's recent experience in Straker Castle in a flash.

"Twins?"

Lu Xiao stood in the grove on the outskirts of the barrier and waited for the Winter Soldier to make a move, while touching his chin thoughtfully.

"Wanda Maksimoff and Pytro Masikmov."

According to the Winter Soldier's memories, Baron Straker's own one-sided information, the twins were the only two survivors of Hydra's human experiments.

Baron Straker uses the power of the Mind Gem in Loki's Scepter to brutally experiment on their orphans abducted from neighboring countries.

Most of the orphans died during the experiment, but only the Maximov siblings were lucky enough to survive because of the Mind Gem's activation of their potential abilities.

"Boom!"

Without waiting for Lu Xiao to think more about the situation of the Maximov brothers and sisters, a substantial roar and shattering sound suddenly came from the strong barrier on the outer layer of the castle.

Baron Straker, who was hiding in the castle's command room, looked at the Winter Soldier in disbelief as he took Loki's scepter with his mechanical arm.

Without the power provided by the Mind Gems to the defense system, the castle's defense efficiency dropped by at least 80%, and it was no longer able to stop the Avengers' bombardment.

"The Winter Soldier! What are you doing! ”

Annoyed and anxious, Baron Straker walked briskly towards the Winter Soldier: "Give the scepter to ...... Oh! ”

The Winter Soldier slammed his right fist into Straker's face, shattering the Baron's glasses, and the broken glass shards pierced directly into his right eye, which he didn't have time to close his eyelids, and the severe pain caused Baron Straker to fall to his knees with his eyes covered in pain.

"You damned traitor!"

Fighting through the pain, Baron Straker pulled out a beam pistol from his waist and fired at the Winter Soldier, who was not going to stay long in a castle that was equally well defended.

Rolling on the spot to dodge Straker's counterattack, and with the help of the castle's sophisticated equipment and furniture to block the gunfire, the Winter Soldier left the castle command room as fast as he could.

"Ahh

Baron Straker exclaimed, in the double pain of mind and body, "Send the twins!" Make sure they take back Loki's scepter! ”

Dr. Lister, who was standing aside, hesitated: "Baron, the twins have not been completely tamed yet, if ......"

"Don't worry about so much!"

Baron Straker roared angrily: "Without the scepter to provide energy, the castle will be attacked by the Avengers sooner or later, and now we can only gamble!" ”

"Unleash the Twins!"

“…… Be. ”
