Chapter 308: Proclamation Before the War

Cairo is the capital of Egypt and at this point in time it has not yet reached the point of complete economic collapse. But the atmosphere in Cairo has also been rather unpleasant lately, with heavily armed soldiers patrolling the streets on a regular basis.

But the soldiers did not appear to be government forces, did not even wear any recognizable insignia, and had no idea what the troops were. In fact, they are the men of Hydra, belonging to Whitehall's direct troops, and they are also his last hole cards.

Whitehall's life has been increasingly difficult since he was attacked by the Apocalypse Legion, pulled out one-third of his stronghold, and then went to war with Alexander Pierce.

Hydra has many branches, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. forces controlled by Alexander Pierce are clearly the most powerful. Whitehall also thought that with the evidence of Pierce's betrayal, he would be able to get the support of the Senate, and call on the forces of other Hydra branches to help him stabilize the battle, and even make Pierce break his bones.

However, Whitehall underestimated Pierce's power.

He was able to get the Senate to remain neutral in the fight between the two of them even though the evidence of betraying his companions was conclusive.

In this case, neutrality is actually equivalent to siding with Pierce, and the isolated Whitehall is impossible to fight against S.H.I.E.L.D. after the veil of mystery is torn apart. Therefore, Whitehall decisively reduced all his forces and came to the Egyptian side.

Whitehall chose to come to Cairo because he had recently made a major discovery. A legendary extremely powerful mutant sleeps beneath this ancient city. In ancient tales, this mutant seems to be able to change the world, and even the miraculous structure like the pyramid was built by him alone.

It sounds like nonsense, but after careful verification of bold assumptions, Whitehall found that there were many clues to this legend.

Inside the secret base in Cairo, Whitehall pinched his eyebrows, trying to dispel some of the exhaustion. These days have been really exhausting for him.

"Bakshi, is there any news from S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Whitehall asked his most trusted subordinate.

"They're still tracking down the information we've left behind in Europe, and this time we've dropped a lot of stuff that's enough for them to look up for a long time. It's just that in this way, most of our strength will be consumed, and I am afraid that we will no longer have the ability to engage in a head-on confrontation. Bakshi said to Whitehall.

Egypt has little to do with the European Union, so this trick of gecko tail is quite slippery, and it has escaped the surveillance of S.H.I.E.L.D. for a short time, and the Apocalypse Legion, which has caused him heavy losses, seems to be nowhere to be found for the time being.

However, the broken tail was enough for Whitehall to have a heartache for a long time, and if there was no breakthrough on the Egyptian side, he would have to think about whether to surrender to Pierce.

Seeing that he is also a member of the Hydra organization, Whitehall can probably be spared death and then spend the rest of his life in prison.

It's just that Whitehall didn't expect that he had been followed by some mechanical beetles the size of ants, and his every move was completely monitored by the Tinder Source Company.

"How's the excavation going? Did you find the pyramid site? Whitehall asked.

"There are five suspected locations, three have now been ruled out, and one of the last two must be our target."

"Very well, let me know as soon as you find anything."

No sooner had Whitehall finished his order than a muffled thunderclap was heard.

"This season, there is a thunderstorm in Cairo?" Whitehall was a little surprised, and quickly pushed open the window and looked at the sky.

It was clear that the sky was clear just now, but suddenly this dark cloud was so thick that it completely covered the sun. It was obviously noon under the scorching sun, but it was instantly dimmed, and it was almost impossible to see anything near clearly.

The clouds were too dark and thick for Whitehall to feel really bored.

It stands to reason that Whitehall, who is nearly 100 years old, is a well-informed person who has experienced the big scenes of World War II, and should not be affected by the weather.

But Whitehall looked at the dark clouds that seemed to be within reach, and always felt that this was a hammer on his head, which could be Rorschach at any moment, and then crush him to pieces.

Just as he wanted to shake this strange feeling out of his head, he found that the dark clouds were constantly changing shapes, and seemed to slowly form an overwhelming grimace.

"This ...... What's going on? Whitehall said in shock.

This question, although it was asked to Bakshi, was known to Whitehall himself, and no one could know the answer.

However, the other party didn't let him think slowly, and this grimace that looked hundreds of kilometers in diameter gradually condensed. The original vague shape gradually solidified, and it turned into an ice crystal mask.

What is even more shocking is that the mask actually emitted a deafening sound.

Daniel Whitehall, and all the members of the Hydra organization in Cairo, listened. You will have forty-eight hours to lay down your weapons and surrender to the city, or my army will crush you all when the countdown is over.

"If you are going to resist, then please do so with a desperate determination, and then perhaps hold on for as many minutes as you can.

"Hahaha!"

The glass window in front of Daniel Whitehall was shattered, along with the glasses on the bridge of his nose. The terrifying sound just now directly shattered ninety percent of the glass in Cairo.

Such a power is just to give a warning.

"Who is it?! Who the hell is this guy?! Whitehall gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, not even noticing the blood that was pouring from his nails into his palms.

It was the same question that no one could answer, and Bakshi was even more shocked than Whitehall, who had already fallen to the ground and could not even speak.

After the announcement of this declaration of war, the terrifying ice mask instantly shattered, turned into countless hailstones, and fell in the city of Cairo.

But the hailstones were rather strange and did not hurt any civilians, but instead landed on several of Hydra's secret strongholds in Cairo like eyes. Just one hailstorm brought the non-combat attrition of Hydra to hundreds.

Although this attack did not make Hydra lose much of its combat effectiveness, it was tantamount to telling Whitehall that the other party knew everything about Hydra's arrangement.

Whitehall's heart was sinking in the face of such an enemy, and he felt that he had encountered an enemy far more terrifying than S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Apocalypse Legion. And he didn't even know the other party's name.

In the desert not far from Cairo, Rorschach closed the huge spatial door around him, and retracted the towering metal building like a lighthouse into the mirror space.

This weather controller has just been manufactured, and it is the first time to use it, and the effect is better than expected. Not to mention anything else, the consumption of spark source energy alone has saved ninety percent, and it only took 50,000 spark source energy to complete the weather change just now.

What's more, this thing can also store a total of 300,000 total energy in advance, even if Rorschach is not around, others can use it.

Rorschach was feeling good about himself, and the posture of the battle book just now was so handsome that even he couldn't help but feel proud. But he heard Sarah say to him, "Master, why do you declare war with such fanfare? Wouldn't it be better to launch a surprise attack directly? ”

"I said that this battle is to show our prestige and let the whole world know that we are not easy to mess with. So, the more high-profile the better. Rorschach explained.

It's just that Sarah continued to ask suspiciously: "But, master, since you said that you want to be high-profile, why didn't you even mention the name of the fire source just now?" ”

"Uh...... This ......"

In fact, the reason is very simple, because Rorschach just now only cared about dressing and completely forgot about it.

It's embarrassing!
