Chapter 445: Would You Rather
The Nine Stars align with each other, ostensibly an anomaly formed by the planets of the solar system joining in a line. But in fact, this is a phenomenon of overlap in the space of the nine kingdoms, including Asgard.
Countless unstable spatial rifts appeared on the earth, and the nine great powers in Norse mythology were extremely close at this moment, and even had reached the point of interfering with each other.
This situation is catastrophic for the planet.
I don't know if the legendary creator god is particularly eccentric, and it seems that the earth is the weakest chicken among the nine kingdoms.
Not to mention the competition between magical civilization and technological civilization, just this physical fitness, Asgardians can become supermen on Earth with any blacksmith.
The other countries are similar, not to mention the natives are the giant human Jotunheim and the like, even the civilians of the other countries have a strength far beyond the individual earthlings.
Therefore, in this situation of mutual negotiation, the collision between civilians greatly weakens the role of the technological weapons of the earthlings.
You can't park a tank in front of every house and give everyone a set of exoskeleton armor.
In order to deal with this matter, Thor, as the crown prince of Asgard, the nominal ruling class of the Nine Kingdoms, decisively came to Earth.
It's just that Thor didn't look for S.H.I.E.L.D., but directly found Rorschach, wanting to discuss with him the problem of the overlap of the nine kingdoms.
In the Tinder Source Company, which had already emptied half of it, Rorschach reluctantly took the coffee from Sarah's hand, and then said to Thor, "My Royal Highness, what is the use of you talking to me about this?" I am not the Secretary-General of the United Nations, nor am I the Captain of the Earth. ”
"I need your help, my friend. It may not be clear to you that this spatial overlap of the nine kingdoms is only one of the minor problems, and the real trouble comes from the dark elves who have disappeared for thousands of years. Thor said in a solemn tone.
"Dark elves? An old enemy of your family? Rorschach asked.
Over the years, Rorschach has become more and more unable to remember the movies he has seen before. It seems that there is such a movie that mentions the race of dark elves, but most of this movie is a box office hit, so his memory is definitely not as deep as the "Avengers" or "Iron Man" series.
"You know the Dark Elves, too?" Thor said with some surprise.
The dark elves are the old adversaries of the Asgardians, but they have been banished for thousands of years, and even the Asgardians themselves are almost unable to remember, and the earthlings are naturally impossible to know.
"Oh, the Supreme Mage is my teacher, and she did mention such a race." Rorschach decisively threw the blame on the ancient one.
Hearing the name of the Supreme Mage, Thor had a sudden feeling of enlightenment. This Supreme Mage has a friendship with his father, and it is not surprising that he knows this kind of secret.
"If you've heard it, it's even better. The dark elves are actually a member of the Nine Kingdoms, but they intended to use a treasure to plunge the Nine Kingdoms into eternal darkness. This plot was crushed by us in Asgard, and most of the dark elves died in the war, as long as a few escaped. And at the beginning, they chose to carry out the conspiracy when the nine major kingdoms overlapped in space. Now, I'm afraid they'll come back again and continue the unsuccessful plans of the year. ”
"Then you Asgard can just rub them on the ground again? You were the victorious nation at the beginning, and you have also developed for thousands of years, so you can't be weaker than the dark elves, right? ”
Rorschach said as he recalled part of the film's plot.
The treasure that the dark elves use to do things seems to be another Infinity Stone. The aether particle, or reality gem, looks like a stream of red water, and I wondered how it could be called a gem.
Faced with Rorschach's question, Thor said a little embarrassed: "Asgard has always had a serious problem over the years, so we don't dare to guarantee that when the dark elves make a comeback, we can guarantee the superiority in troops. ”
"What's the problem?" Rorschach was also curious.
"Over the years, our population has grown so slowly that the number of young people has been less than the number of old people." Thor said helplessly.
"Oh, the aging population! Isn't that a problem that only exists in industrial societies? You ......"
The rest of the sentence Rorschach didn't say, which actually means that the social structure of your group of Asgardians is as primitive as the Middle Ages, how can there be a problem of population aging, it can't be that they have also engaged in family planning, right?
"The wounds of war are always difficult to heal. Moreover, the life span of the Asgardian people is very long, these thousands of years, in fact, are only two or three generations. Thor explained.
Rorschach couldn't help but sigh, this is the gap between the immortal race and other races, a child may have a childhood for hundreds of years, and the replenishment of the population is naturally not fast.
"According to you, the dark elves are probably not much better, their environment is only worse than yours, right?"
"However, the Dark Elves have a technique of hibernation for long periods of time, and it is estimated that most of the survivors are veterans of the war. And Asgard has experienced too few wars over the years, too peaceful, and may not be an opponent in terms of combat effectiveness. Thor didn't hold back in front of Rorschach, and told him all about his biggest weakness.
For Asgard, the last few thousand years have indeed been a rare period of peace, and they cannot be compared with the time when the Nine Kingdoms had not yet surrendered. Whether it is the intensity of the war or the quality of the soldiers, it can be said that there is a world of difference.
Thor had already reached this point, and Rorschach couldn't continue to shirk it. After all, the prince of Asgard really regarded himself as a friend, and this friendship that fought side by side was still quite precious to Rorschach.
"And what do you need me to do?" Rorschach asked.
"Asgard's current strength is only enough to defend itself, and the problems of the other nine kingdoms are not enough. So, Rorschach, I'd be grateful if you could help send your men to maintain order. Thor said.
"If the name is not right, we earthlings do not have the right to rule over the nine kingdoms. Even if I am willing to send troops, isn't this tantamount to taking the initiative to lead the war? Rorschach shook his head.
"That's why I'm here to give you the name." Thor handed a dagger to Rorschach and continued, "This is the army symbol of Asgard, and you have it right to take him." Of course, it's just a symbolic thing. We'll also offer the right price and hire your men to fight for us. Thor said sincerely.
It's not the white wolf with empty gloves, but the real intention to hemorrhage Rorschach as a mercenary, this is the sincerity that Thor brings.
But Rorschach looked at the "employment fee" that Thor could provide, and a large part of the list was full of things that were not needed. For example, the armor weapons produced in Asgard, as well as various specialties. This thing is given to S.H.I.E.L.D. and it is estimated that it will be happy to buy a batch, but for the fully mechanized Tinder Source troops, it is simply chicken ribs.
Can Asgardian equipment be used for robots? Even if the circuit is reforged, can it be compared to Zhenjin? The rest of the other specialties are rare treasures for many wealthy people. For example, a magic golem similar to a smart butler, a hair cover made of gold that grows like real hair...... These are definitely treasures that only the Asgardian royal family has, but they also mean little to Rorschach.
After reading it for a long time, Rorschach pushed the list back, and then said to Thor: "These things don't mean much to me, but as a friend, I definitely want to help you with this favor, so I only mention one condition." ”
Hearing the previous sentence, Thor was still a little disappointed, and when he heard the latter, he immediately said happily: "You say, as long as I can do it, I can promise you." ”
"I want all the spoils of this war of the Nine Kingdoms, of course, only for the part that my troops have gained, and I will not compete with you Asgardian people." Rorschach said.
"No problem with this! This is a matter of course, not a condition at all. Thor readily agreed.
For the Asgardians, the distribution of the spoils was originally the winner of the final say, and if it was Rorschach's own victory, Thor would not have been able to snatch it.
At Thor's insistence, in addition to the trophies, more than half of the supplies on the mercenary list were sent to Rorschach for military expenses. Rorschach didn't refuse, these things can be exchanged for some good things when they are operated, but they are a little troublesome.
After this period of recuperation, there are more than 500,000 Tinder Source troops that can be mobilized on the Burning Plains Fire Planet, which is still the number after deducting the necessary remaining troops.
Most of them are lizard-like battle robots, and there are about 10 multi-purpose spider robots. As for the Tinder Source Fighter, because the Zhenjin shell is being upgraded on a large scale, there are only three thousand that can be used.
The so-called three armies did not move grain and grass first, and this huge troop movement of 500,000 troops, if it were human beings, even if it was a group army with a high degree of mechanization, would be enough for the commander to worry about logistics.
But for the Tinder Source troops, as long as the energy is sufficient, there is no need to prepare anything else. Therefore, just after finalizing the intention of cooperation with Thor in the conference room, it was only in the afternoon, and the first batch of 10,000 Tinder Source troops had already gone to the world where the Warner Protoss was located under the leadership of Luo Fei.
Of course, the teleportation was handled by Asgard, and the Rainbow Bridge was able to fully engage this force on the battlefield in an hour.
The Warners look similar to the Asgardians, and most of this race acquiesces to Asgardian rule. It's just that in Warnaheim, where they are located, there are many rebels who are dissatisfied with Asgard's rule, and they plan to go to Asgard to do things by taking advantage of the overlap of the nine powers.
The appearance of a large number of spatial rifts negated out most of Asgard's Rainbow Bridge advantage, while in terms of numbers, Warnerheim's rebels had the advantage. It can also be seen from this that Asgard has gradually lost the control of the nine countries in the recent few thousand years of the problem of declining birthrate.
In a cautious manner, the Asgardians did not intend to directly open the Rainbow Bridge close to these rebels, but hoped that these Tinder Source robots could first build a defensive line nearby, and then slowly compress and slowly encroach on these rebels.
However, at Luo Fei's insistent request, the light of the Rainbow Bridge fell directly on the rebels' camp, a large military village of 30,000 people.
Luo Fei took the lead...... No, it should be a wolf in the lead, merging with Garuru and taking on the form of a wolf knight to charge.
Garuru's sheer size has caused a bloody storm in this group of Warner Protoss, and it is not hindered at all. Luo Fei, who was riding on Garuru, was supported by the mount's powerful fire source energy, and his hands turned into pulse cannon barrels and exploded wildly.
Just a photo, a radius of several hundred meters has already been on fire everywhere.
Immediately afterward, the Tinder Source troops surged out and slaughtered these Warner Protoss.
Although Warner Protoss is very familiar with Asgard's rainbow bridge airdrop tactics, it was the Asgardians who appeared before, and their sword and shield guards all formed a tight defense line first, so that the follow-up troops could be continuously replenished, and the style of steady and steady fighting.
But this time, it was the Tinder Source troops that were encountered, and the robots had no fear at all, and only obeyed the order to tear apart the enemy in front of them. These mechanical lizards use irregular running patterns to advance when they first appear, and are constantly suppressed with ranged weapons.
Despite the lizard form, it actually exhibits all sorts of unbelievable movements when running, making it difficult for Warners to aim with their ranged weapons. Although there are also unlucky mechanical lizards that will be shot through Warner's bow and arrows, they only account for a very small part in terms of numbers, and as long as they do not directly destroy the core, they will not have much impact on combat effectiveness.
And those who are seriously damaged will be directly repaired by the spider robots that appear next on the battlefield, and will soon continue to fight.
Once approached by these mechanical lizards, their melee coordination is simply seamless. The three mechanical lizards would lunge at the throat, calf, and chest, and if one of them bites, the muzzle of the gun would fire directly at the Warner Protoss warriors.
Then the companion caught up to help, and the problem was solved by tearing each other's vital points apart in three or two. And as more and more mechanical beetles cover the battlefield, countless information is collected, and under the incomparably sophisticated battlefield calculations, even a mechanical lizard can kill a Warner Protoss warrior.
The Warner Protoss, which has strong physical fitness, but the war level is still stuck in the cold weapon period, is almost instantaneously defeated, and it is not the opponent of the Tinder Source troops at all. But they were outnumbered after all, and relying on their fearless fighting style, they barely managed to organize a line of defense after a large number of their comrades died.
At this time, Luo Fei did not attack the defensive line, slapped Garuru on the neck, turned in a direction and charged. He chose not to be anywhere else, but the logistics office of this military village, the place where the grain was stored.
Warner Protoss is not a robot and cannot survive on oil and energy. Tens of thousands of troops have to eat, drink, and Lazar, and logistics personnel account for at least half of them.
Luo Fei didn't plan to kill all of them directly at the beginning, but he just made a noise, forcing them to shrink up, and then went straight to the grain and grass. The Tinder Force is very good at killing people, but compared to their setting skills, it is far behind.
Dozens of mechanical lizards ran by, their barrels no longer spitting bullets, but large expanses of high-temperature flames. The fuel mixed with white phosphorus could even burn on stones, so it didn't take long to burn the entire logistics camp.
The Warner Protoss looked confused, they had just established a line of defense, and now they wanted to rush out to put out the fire, but it was too late, and the obstacles that were moved over became their own stumbling blocks.
When the fire was completed, Luo Fei waved his hand, and all the fire source troops ran directly into the rainbow bridge, and retreated so neatly. This made the Warner Protoss, who had just moved the magic cannon and other big killing weapons over, to death in frustration.
When it was time to clean up the battlefield, Warner Protoss found that this lightning raid had caused them to lose 3,000 soldiers, more than 2,000 were seriously wounded, and almost all of their logistical baggage was burned. Even if they are natives and can forage for food on their own without starving to death, they will definitely not want to eat enough for a long time to come.
The horrific losses had demoralized them exceedingly, and if such a raid had been repeated, they would have completely collapsed.
But what Warner Protoss never expected was that just after half of the battlefield was cleaned, the tense nerves of the warriors relaxed a little, and the hateful rainbow bridge came again.
It was still the robot riding the mechanical wolf that rushed to the front, followed by the tide of mechanical lizards. The Warner Protoss warriors were about to take up arms, but they found themselves unable to muster their strength.
Although the Warner Protoss's physical fitness is stronger than that of humans, it is also inseparable from the characteristics of flesh and blood life, that is, one blow, then decline, and three rests.
If the battle continues, they can fight to the end in one breath. But as soon as I relaxed for a while, the muscles in my body relaxed, and I entered a recovery state, and it was difficult to fight again.
Having changed Asgard's troops, it is impossible to use such a tactic of continuous raids, unless there are substitutions. Because they have their own limits, their morale and state also fluctuate.
It's just that these problems don't exist at all for the Tinder Source Mechanical Force, Luo Fei accurately hit such a time difference, and when the Warner Protoss just laid down their weapons but failed to get enough rest, and was demoralized because the grain and grass were burned, he directly killed the carbine.
This time, the Warner Protoss warriors were killed to the ground with little resistance.
The two raids, the actual battle time combined was less than an hour and a half, and the Asgardians who came to receive the captives were almost staring out. It turns out that the war can still be fought like this, and there is such a big difference from the howling and charging together before?
Thor had been paying attention to the first battle of the Tinder Source, but he didn't expect it to be so neat. In the past, Asgard's wars were a group of people rushing forward with a roar, and then relying on their own hammers to fight their way out, or directly killing the other party's commander.
Rorschach patted Thor on the shoulder, and then said, "You, because the individual is so powerful that the idea of war stays at the level of a fighter. However, how many Thors does Asgard have? How many Odins are there? ”
Thor couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and he also felt that Asgard, as the former lord of the Nine Kingdoms, now had a feeling of declining. But the prince of Asgard quickly picked himself up and said to Rorschach, "I have a friend named Sif who you should have met." What do you think of her? ”
Rorschach was overwhelmed by Thor's instantaneous jumping topic, could it be that he had something wrong with his relationship with the girl Ai Ge? After thinking about it, it seemed that this business should not be interjected, and Rorschach could only say politely: "Oh, it's good, but I'm not familiar with her either." ”
"This is just the right time to familiarize, Rorschach, I have sent Siv to you, and you will teach her how to fight. Of course, it would be better if you were able to marry her. Thor said very seriously.
"What are you talking nonsense? I have all my daughters? ”
Rorschach never thought that Thor would play any marriage for him at this time, I don't know if Sif likes yourself, this makes people take over, isn't it going to fight?!
"Hey, aren't you Midgardians all polygamous? Besides, you're more than just a woman, the ...... with the surname Maximov" Before Thor could finish his words, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and Wanda appeared right in front of the two.
Rorschach instantly felt that Wanda was not surnamed Maximov, but had a blood relationship with a celebrity of the Three Kingdoms in China.
Seeing Thor talking to Rorschach about something, Wanda was a little embarrassed and said, "Did I disturb you?" ”
"No, we were talking about you, I just asked Rorschach ......"
As soon as Thor's big mouth opened, Rorschach slapped it and said, "Shut up, or I'll withdraw immediately!" Don't mention what you just did! ”
Thor was almost thrown out of the conference room by Rorschach, and Sarah, who had been waiting by her side, left with a meaningful smile and closed the door to the conference room, leaving Rorschach and Wanda alone.
"Well, what are you looking for me?" Rorschach asked, a little awkwardly.
Wanda took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and said to Rorschach, "I heard that you are planning to find another Infinity Stone, and Skye asked me to accompany you." ”
"How do you know me...... Wait, you said Skye asked you to go with me? Rorschach felt like he had heard something incredible.
Wanda looked at Rorschach with a determined look until the breaths of the two of them were entangled, and then she said, "That's right, then, are you willing?" ”()
