Chapter 318: The Right Time and Place and "Harmony"
Asgard's problems aside, Thor failed to contain the Frost Giant's onslaught. Even if they unite the forces of the Warner Protoss, they are only stuck with the Frost Giant. And the extremely cold environment in Jotunheim also seriously restricted the combat effectiveness of the coalition forces.
The current situation of the war is that Asgard's coalition forces have established a relatively stable forward base in Jotunheim, and are looking for traces of the king of frost giants in this vast ice and snow world.
The Asgardians still cling to the ancient belief that the battle would end by defeating the opposing kings head-on. It's just that Jotunheim won't be much smaller than Earth, and Asgard's anxious number of soldiers doesn't know how many years it will take.
For the Asgardians, a hundred years of fighting is roughly equivalent to a year and a half of human warfare, and their views on time are not the same at all.
When Rorschach heard the news, he thought to himself what a special thing this kind of ally is.
With the power of the Rainbow Bridge, as long as he fires enough power and shoots at Jotunheim, as long as it takes an hour, Lao Fei will kneel down and call Dad.
As a result, the Asgardians even had to play hand-to-hand combat with them?
"No wonder, Asgard's regular troops are still slashing with swords." Rorschach said with a depressed face.
It's not a problem with technology, it's entirely the reason why leaders are rigid and don't know how to be flexible.
Just like among human beings, many elderly people can't accept the convenience brought by high-tech products, are not willing to learn new things, and habitually live the old days. But they are only a few decades old, and they will soon be putting their social responsibility in the hands of the next generation.
The next generation is more progressive, intelligent, and more receptive to new things than the previous generation. This is how civilization keeps moving forward.
But the Asgardians lived too long, and Odin alone almost represented the beginning and end of the civilization of this race. It is normal for an old man to be rigid in his thinking, but if an old man with a rigid mind rules a civilization for thousands of years, the impact on the development of this civilization is very terrible.
"What age is it, you can't even use map strikes?" Rorschach sighed.
It seems that the Frost Giant still has to deal with it on his own.
"Ancient One Mage, can you deduce the location of the Frost Giant's spatial gate this time?" Rorschach asked.
"I'm afraid it will take a little time, but this time the space door didn't open, but there were some signs, so I can't be sure of the exact location. However, based on the current clues, it should be one of the following three places. ”
The Ancient One used a spell to project a three-dimensional map, and the three places were marked by bright white light.
One is in the Pacific Ocean, about 5,000 kilometers from the coastline of Japan; the second is in New York, the most prosperous area of Manhattan; As for the third, it did not appear on Earth.
The possible location of the third space gate is on the Moon, the closest star to Earth in this universe.
The dark side of the moon, the place where countless fantasies have been conceived, is shining with white light on this stereoscopic projection.
"The Frost Giants will teleport to the moon?" Rorschach asked, shocked, completely unexpected.
It stands to reason that with the frost giants he had seen, they didn't have the ability to jump directly from the moon to the earth. Of course, being able to open the dimensional passage shows that their civilization is still unique.
Isn't it putting the cart before the horse by choosing the dark side of the moon as a portal and then traveling from the moon to Earth? The effect of the direct delivery of troops by the space gate is greatly reduced.
"Based on the situation of space concussion, only these three places are possible. But the time is not known, the scale is not known. What are you going to do now, Rorschach? Gu Yi asked.
"There's nothing to say, the Frost Giant wants to fight, so I'll give him a war. Here in New York, I'll inform S.H.I.E.L.D. that they have someone from the Forgiveness Alliance to help them and should be able to hold it. As for the Pacific Ocean and the Dark Side of the Moon, I'll take care of it and make sure that the Frost Giants will teach them a lesson they'll remember as soon as they appear. Rorschach said confidently.
"Is there anything you can help us with?" Ancient One asked.
When he said this, Gu Yi's face also became a little strange. For so many years, Gu Yi was accustomed to being the one who solved the problem, but he didn't expect that this time he would take the initiative to help others.
Sure enough, the world has changed.
However, this is a good thing for the ancient one, indicating that she can finally let go of her burden and realize her ideal of pursuing the truth of the universe.
"Ancient One, with all due respect, Kama Taj is too weak for everyone but you. It's a dimensional war, and we're facing the Frost Giants, so there's really little you can do to help. ”
Rorschach's words are a bit hurtful, but they are also telling the truth.
Compared with the secondary intelligent robots that are not afraid of death or sacrifice, the mages of Kama Taj are not much stronger than ordinary people, and they still have to die after one shot. Moreover, their numbers are too scarce to affect the overall situation on the battlefield.
Gu Yi did not refute Rorschach's evaluation, but said to Rorschach: "Rorschach, it seems that you have found the firmest belief in your heart this time. ”
"Yes, I have discovered that I am a man who is born to be inseparable from war. Since you said I was going to build my own godhead, let me be a god of war. Rorschach said with a smile.
"Your motherland, China, has a very incisive summary of the war, that is, the time and place are favorable. I see that the ability you showed before is completely in your hands, and I estimate that the location is also fast, but don't you think you have forgotten something? Gu Yi asked.
The structure of the Celestial Ring appeared, allowing Rorschach to control the time of the day. As for Apocalypse's sand control ability, as long as you take some time to study it, it shouldn't be a problem to change the terrain between your fingertips, which is the geographical advantage.
But the people mentioned by the ancient one made Rorschach a little puzzled.
"The mechic units under my command are the most elite and best combat units in this plane, they will not be affected by morale and logistics, and they can be competent in almost any combat environment, and complete tasks that the most elite troops of mankind cannot accomplish. Isn't this human? Rorschach said to the Ancient One.
"I guessed you would say that, it seems that you, a Chinese American, are not as serious as me in reading books. The people summarized in your ancient Chinese books do not refer to the strength of soldiers and horses, but to the unity of all people. Rorschach, I ask you, who else in this world can stand on the same side as you except your robot subordinates? ”
Ancient One's question left Rorschach pondering, for a former special forces soldier whose vision was limited to completing combat missions. At a higher strategic level, he did not come into contact with it.
Since the crossing, he has also been accustomed to using combat to solve problems, and has never considered the factors involved in politics and layout. Therefore, there are a lot of people who have offended, and if you are allies, you can barely count the few members of the Forgiveness Alliance, as well as mutants and Inhumans.
However, Rorschach was not entangled, and said to the ancient one: "Presumably, His Excellency the Supreme Mage has prepared the answer for me. ”
"Of course, from today onwards, Kama Taj will not continue to hide. My disciples will go all over the world to pave the way for you. The Ancient One explained.
Rorschach listened, frowning a little, thinking to himself what a group of melee mages could do? Take a purple gold bowl to get in touch with various local tyrants?
As if seeing through Rorschach's thoughts, the ancient one said again: "Have you ever heard of the title of court mage?" ”
