2. Wakanda (center)
"I don't know if it's an illusion, I always think there's something wrong with this rainforest!"
S.H.I.E.L.D. Level 7 Agent Herman Ross trekked through the rainforests of East Africa with an outpost unit, one of the few cheerful agents in S.H.I.E.L.D. who used his hunting knife to cut through the vines in his way while struggling through the mud.
And most of them are the same complaints, even if no one pays attention to him, he can talk very happily alone, in fact, as the leader of this reconnaissance team, Captain America Steve Rogers feels that this agent is purely talking for the sake of talking, and he doesn't know how this character that is completely inconsistent with the special agent's design is developed.
"But this is the most likely path to Wakanda we've gotten from the local gods, don't complain, Rose, keep up!"
The captain is a very elite soldier, he encountered a worse situation in World War II than now, so even in the face of the terrible rainforest that grows wildly due to abnormal weather, he can continue to move forward without changing his face, until a warning sounded from behind:
"Stop, Captain, don't go any further!"
"Huh?"
Steve, who was heavily armed, subconsciously stopped, and when he turned around, he saw the chatter detective walking forward, reaching out and touching the vines beside him, and said to him with a serious face:
"We're back to the old ways!"
"Are you sure?"
Captain Rogers was very confident that he had been enhanced by the Super Soldier Serum, and with all his attention, it was almost impossible for him to go the wrong way, but the problem was that when Agent Roster turned the vine over, the captain clearly saw the small mark that the agent did not know when he left on the vine.
This is ample proof that they are indeed on the wrong path, and that this chattering agent is definitely not a superficial waste.
"How many markers did you make?"
The captain stretched out his hand and motioned for the team members to spread their vigilance, his fingers stroked the vines in front of him, he could feel the slight protruding nicks on it, the captain turned his head to look at the vines that covered the sky with a headache, he felt a little headache, and he accentuated his tone:
"How long ago did it?"
"1 hour ago, if my body clock wasn't messed up. ”
Agent Rost took two chewing gums out of his pocket and handed one to the captain, chewing on them as he said, "I've made at least 14 signs, but I've only found this one so far! ”
Yes, the agent was right, the notch on the vine that the captain was holding in his hand was disappearing, and even slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was enough to show the weirdness of this hellish place.
"I can't stay here!"
The captain immediately gave the order to retreat: "Go back, let's get out of here!"
Agent Rost followed behind him and glanced at the rainforest behind him with a hint of resentment: "Ha, it seems that those magic sticks have deceived us again!"
"It's not a deception..."
The captain took a deep breath: "Wakanda is also mysterious in the local area like the legendary kingdom of heaven, and those old priests don't know the specific way to enter the interior, but our army has been blocked here, we can't go on like this, we must find a way as soon as possible!"
The multinational coalition that could theoretically easily sweep across the whole of Africa is trapped here, with the rainforest in front and the menacing Egyptian gods in the back, and the soldiers of the coalition army are in an unprecedented bad situation, and the cause of this incident has to start from three months ago.
Three months ago, the Utopian-led Coalition for the Survival of Humanity submitted a hard-line "Common Development Outline" to Wakanda, but received no reply at all, and 10 days later, the first troops landed in East Africa and began to fight against Wakanda.
The Utopia First Army as the vanguard, the U.S. Navy and the Eastern Army as the main force, defeated the 300,000 Divine Spirit Legion from Egypt in 5 days, opened the way into East Africa, at the beginning, Wakanda sent their army and coalition forces to fight, and the two sides stalemate for nearly 1 month.
It's not that the coalition forces are too weak, but the power of Wakanda's burst is beyond the imagination of all countries... On the technological level of the alliance's pride, they were actually crushed by an East African country in all directions, and as the army approached the border with Wakanda, air ships from Wakanda bombarded the coalition barracks from high altitude as a warning.
It was a black, very sci-fi airship, they flew faster than the speed of sound, back and forth in the atmosphere, ordinary fighters were no match for them at all, until the emergency arrival of the imitation Kryptonian battleship force, only to slightly save the decline.
The front-line commanders of this raid were dazed, and the original overwhelming military momentum had to be suspended, and after the coalition air power repelled Wakanda's high-tech air force, they were again met with stubborn resistance from Wakanda's unique liquid metal-clad rhinoceros army formation on the frontal battlefield.
Yes, it's just an ordinary rhinoceros, but these Africans who have mastered black technology have put a luxurious vibranium shell on the rhinoceros, making them into steel "monsters" that can fight grenade bombardment head-on, Wakanda looks primitive, but the samurai armed with black technology weapons follow behind the metal rhinoceros, they wield blue fluorescent spears in their hands, looking like indigenous warriors of the 17th century.
But when this vibranium spear can easily destroy a main battle tank with every shot, and in the face of the allied fire projection, those black lads only need to open the blankets on their bodies to block the frontal attack of the shells, this joke becomes unfunny.
It was only at this time that the top brass of the coalition forces knew why Wakanda had the confidence to reject the goodwill they unleashed, and why even the powerful Supreme Mage had to use a gentle way to resolve the dispute in Wakanda... In the backward land of Africa, there is still such a strange country that can beat the whole world at the level of science and technology... It's really hard to imagine.
However, no matter how advanced technology is, it cannot produce warriors out of thin air, and the size of Wakanda's territory determines that they can only win by surprise, and when faced with refueling tactics, they are almost certain defeat, and just one night a month and a half ago, the Wakandans launched a surprise attack on the coalition camp under the leadership of their king, the mysterious hero Black Panther, in an attempt to end the war.
Unfortunately, when they struggled to tear through the defense line of the 200,000 coalition forces and rushed into the command center, they saw Speaker Charles, Doctor Strange Strange, Catherine, the Blood Queen, all the high-ranking agents of the Heavenly Sword Bureau and S.H.I.E.L.D., and all the employees of Krypton Security Company.
King Panther was only spared with his invulnerable vibranium armor, and the warriors who followed him into the army were all captured, and Wakanda's surprise attack plan was defeated!
Now they can only rely on the still intact warships and strange terrain advantages to continue the confrontation with the coalition forces, and the most embarrassing thing is that even if the heroes have the ability to penetrate the sky, they have searched all over East Africa and have not been able to find the specific location of Wakanda, because all the warriors of Wakanda have integrated the processed vibranium into their bodies since childhood, resulting in no effect even on the method of watching and remembering.
Moreover, as long as the soul of the Wakanda people leaves the body, it will be swept away by a strange existence in an instant, and the old demon warlocks of the Devil Gang also said that they could not do anything, and the battle situation was completely deadlocked.
"I fought in the Gulf War, the Afghanistan War and the Iraq War... I'm barely a half-veteran. ”
Agent Rose said with some reluctance: "I have never seen such a strange war, we have already routed their main force, and the fleeing Wakandans cannot hide in the ravine forever, I think they themselves know this." ”
"The problem is that more than a month has passed since the last time they were completely defeated! They don't even pay attention to the captured fighters. ”
The captain moved the shield in his hand, looking at the outpost of the destination, he reached out and unbuttoned the button around his neck, and he whispered, "Either those guys who have mastered the technology of the Zenith are hiding somewhere and planning a big counterattack, or... It's their internal problems. ”
In the idiosyncratic tone of a veteran, Steve said:
"Now as long as we find that place and launch a decisive assault, this war that should have ended a long time ago can be over... After all, our most formidable opponents now are not these stubborn Wakandans, and the more time and power we waste on them, the less power we can use against the evil gods at that time. ”
The two of them walked towards the outpost and talked at the same time, but just as they walked out of the rainforest, a huge black shadow suddenly tore through the sky and appeared above the outpost, and the hunting storm caused by the space jump blew the hair and clothes of the two people, and they raised their heads and saw the behemoth that completely blocked the sun, and each other's eyes showed a touch of surprise.
"The Sky Breaker is here, too!"
Steve whispered, "It seems that Catherine's patience has been completely exhausted. ”
The height of 35 meters, like a sword-like spaceship suspended in the sky, although in the large aircraft, the size of the Sky Breaker is relatively small, but its combat effectiveness and destructive power, the heroes who participated in the Battle of Paradise Island are obvious to all, this thing is now a symbol of utopian kingship, but also a symbol of their supreme force, its arrival, means that utopia began to move in earnest.
And when Steve returned to the base, it was not surprising that Agent Coulson, dressed in black, appeared in front of him and Rose.
"Follow me, Captain, and Rose. ”
Coulson whispered, "I brought you a guide, the war in Wakanda has dragged on for too long, and it's time for it to end." ”
"Buzz"
The ship's beam of light flashed, and Captain America and the Tier 7 agents stepped into the Gothic-inspired hull of the Skybreaker, and as they entered the command room, they were greeted by three figures hovering above the sand table.
They are Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., General Zheng Xian, Director of the Heavenly Sword Bureau, and General Charlie Lewis, the military leader of Utopia.
Steve gave a standard military salute, and then heard Fury say in a deep voice:
"The operation against Wakanda is about to enter the final stage, captain, the situation in Europe has begun to deteriorate further, we need to transfer the troops of East Africa to Europe to maintain the security of several civilization islands that have not yet fallen, and the number of people left is destined not to be many, now I represent the Human Survival Alliance, and hand over the front-line command to you, and you and Agent Coulson will be responsible for the follow-up infiltration operations!"
After Fury's words were finished, the captain tried to speak, but was interrupted by General Lewis, who spoke:
"I know what you're worried about, Captain, but according to the instructions of the Utopia Supreme Council, the Sky Breaker and the accompanying special reaction force will be at your disposal, that is, although there are fewer people left, the ability to fight head-on has not been weakened, and under the leadership of this guide, I believe that you will soon be able to complete the final attack on Wakanda!"
"Anyway, Captain, there's only one request from the Human Survival Alliance..."
A murderous aura flashed across Lewis's face with a black blindfold: "Bring back the soul gems, and enough vibranium resources! Life or death!"
A hesitant expression appeared on the captain's face, but in the end, he still nodded silently and whispered:
"Okay, I'll take the order!"
"Buzz"
The projection in front of him disappeared, and there were only three people left in the command room, facing the captain who was not in a high mood, Coulson could see at a glance that this guy was conflicted in his heart, on the one hand, the importance of the soul gem was needless to say, and on the other hand, the orders brought by the council were with a trace of undisguised brutality, which made the good-natured captain a little difficult to accept.
"Uh... If I give you a secret that will make you feel better..."
Coulson lowered his voice:
"Remember the Survival of Humanity's promise to the soldiers? Steve, we promise that any soldier who dies in battle will get a second chance... Utopia shared the Resurrection Circle, so that the soldiers had no worries, but now the problem is here. ”
"The souls of the soldiers who died on the battlefields of East Africa... All gone. ”
"Huh?!"
Steve's expression became very ugly, and he subconsciously guessed, "Soul Gem?"
"Yes, Soul Gem!"
Coulson breathed a sigh of relief, and he shrugged his shoulders, "So you see? Steve, now, if we get the soul gem back, it's actually equivalent to saving at least 50,000 people! This is a good thing we have to do! Don't feel pressured by this." ”
The captain's eyes closed slightly, and after a moment, he nodded:
"Okay, so when are we leaving?"
