The helicopter roared down from the night sky and steadied itself on the tarmac with the word "H" written on it. The uniformed deputy pulled the door open from the inside, and Wolfgang von Straker stepped off the plane with his hands behind his back, the monocle in his right eye glowing in the cold light.

A few hours ago, news of the loss of several important Hydra strongholds spread throughout the Order, and almost everyone realized that the fate of the Hydra Order, which claims to never fall, may finally be coming to an end. But Baron Straker was aware of this fact before most, which is why he had slipped across the ocean before Fury's eventual all-out war broke out, taking with him all the most valuable things in his branch.

Truth be told, Straker never cared what would happen to the leaders of the other Hydra divisions. He is the highest-ranking cadre of Hydra, but at the same time he is also a careerist. Even today, he has never given up on the idea of taking power alone and eventually leading Hydra to its founder's ambition of conquering the world.

So when he foresaw that the group was about to be defeated, he did not hesitate to cut off all the other branches and run away on his own.

Not only that, but Straker was even thinking about which other Hydra-affiliated institutions and departments could be pushed out as shields. At present, the exposure of Hydra is a certainty, and the core force of the organization has been basically destroyed, and Aegis will definitely have a series of sweeping work to clean up the remnants of the party. In this case, pushing a few substitutes out might divert everyone's attention, so that he would have enough room to rebuild his strength.

Straker's current base is located deep in a remote forest, and the facility is a complete personal secret, unaware of its existence by the leaders of other branches of the Order.

He had a premonition that this place would come in handy one day, but he didn't expect it to be now, in such a form.

Baron Straker strode into the base, followed by his henchmen and personal bodyguards. Ignoring all the respectful greetings of his subordinates along the way, he hurried to the door of a laboratory.

"Sir." The guard at the doorway saluted him in a standard manner, then turned and tapped on the control panel to open the door. The sound of welding stinging eardrums burst out of the crack the moment the metal door slid open, and a strong man with a strong back was welding some intricate metal device with his back to them.

The strong man stopped what he was doing when he noticed someone entering the door, and turned around. He took off his black goggles, revealing a rough Russian face with a fleshy face. He wears a rustic coat that looks like he was picked up from a stall, and his painting style is quite out of place with the militarized base facilities.

Ivan Vanko is a Russian scientist whose father, Anton Vanko, worked with Howard Stark on the Ark reactor. But Howard later realized that Anton Vanko was planning to do something wrong and expelled him from the United States. Anton Vanke spent his last years destitute and eventually died depressed with hatred for the Stark family.

Although Anton Vanke died, his hatred was inherited by Ivan Vanke. Unfortunately, Ivan Vanke is also a super genius in the field of mechanical engineering, and he actually built the prototype of the reactor with only a sketch of the Ark reactor left by his father, and used it to create an energy weapon in the form of a whip for himself to seek revenge on Tony Stark.

Of course, as everyone knows, Anton Vanke's revenge ultimately failed, but the imitation Iron Man armor and curved reactor he designed in the process proved his talent and caught the attention of Hydra. Hydra soon took him into his own possession and is currently under the jurisdiction of Baron Straker.

Baron Straker waved his hand to signal his cronies to stay at the door, and walked in himself. He bypassed the messy equipment and some half-finished devices in the laboratory, and picked up the object that Ivan Vanke had just been busy with and looked at it.

"What is this?"

"Energy Exciter." Ivan replied in English with a distinct Russian accent, "He was designed in the shape of a sword hilt as requested. When the reactor is connected to the reactor and the switch is pressed, it releases a plasma blade with a stable shape. ”

Straker took it in his hand and slid it twice, seemingly satisfied: "Looks like you've been speeding up lately." ”

"Try to live up to expectations." Ivan said bluntly.

The unruly rough man clearly knew that his new boss was a dangerous man. If Ivan Vanko is compared to a fierce and deadly beast, then Straker is a first-rate beast tamer. He taught the beast when to show its fangs and when to restrain itself.

Baron Straker put the hilt back in place.

"What about the other thing?" He asked, "What I told you when I came last time." ”

"Over here, sir."

Ivan kicked away the mess of failed works he had thrown on the floor, and led Straker through the messy room to the other end of the lab. He flipped through the circuit boards on the table to find the remote control and pressed the switch against the wall.

The walls of the laboratory picked up the signal and slowly retracted and rose to the ceiling. A three-meter-tall iron-silver wardrobe slowly rose from under the tiles to the ground, and a set of gray-black armor stood erect. Its exterior is painted red, and its lines are unbridled and exudes a fiercely manic industrial aesthetic.

The right hand of the armor has been replaced with a blood-red mechanical arm, starting from the elbow part, and the five fingers are as sharp as a file. That's the "Satanic Claw", Baron Straker's signature weapon, the culmination of a technological effort created by countless hydra scientists. Its five-fingered sharpened iron provides incredible power, can unleash high-voltage current, and can also be equipped with firearms such as Gatling.

Baron Straker looked at his exclusive armor and involuntarily hooked the corners of his mouth into a grim smile.

Although Hydra is close to extinction, the power of his branch has been preserved. Now he not only has the top-notch individual combat armor comparable to Iron Man, but also controls a pair of super twins with outstanding abilities. Now as long as he lies dormant again in the shadows, patiently accumulates his strength, and when the time comes, he will lead Hydra to rebirth from the wreckage! He will make a comeback in a form far greater than anything he has ever done before, and achieve something that even their founder, the Red Skull, has not been able to achieve......

Before Baron Straker could finish his grand blueprint, a high-pitched siren resounded throughout the base.

The baron's expression froze instantly. He grimaced, left the laboratory, and arrived at the base's control center as fast as he could.

"What's the situation?" He asked.

A correspondent in front of the computer with a headset replied loudly: "We are under attack!" ”

"Whose attack?" Straker frowned, "Could it be that S.H.I.E.L.D. is still chasing after here?" ”

"No, not Aegis. The enemy seems to have only ...... Alone?? ”
