Chapter 963: Merger
The effects of the Battle of Kosovia have not yet fully dissipated, even a month after the end of the battle.
Except for the fighters and refugees in Kosovo, almost no one from the outside world knows exactly what happened in Kosovo, they saw the whole of Kosovo take to the sky, but they don't know what happened after that.
It is unimaginable that such a large city flew into the sky and did not fall a single small piece of it.
Many refugees in Kosovo have been invited to tea by the authorities in the hope of getting something out of their mouths, but the results are varied and mostly unbelievable.
Some say that Kosovia was destroyed by Edward Lee, who unleashed a powerful spell that directly knocked Kosovia into nothingness.
There are also claims that the Avengers sent a group of fighter jets to blow up the city directly with missiles.
Others say that the Avengers and the Demon Hunter Knights worked together to destroy the city, but as for how, they don't know.
One of the most reliable theories is that Edward Lee sucked the city directly into another world, similar to the kind of portal that appeared when aliens invaded Earth.
But in any case, the authorities of various countries did not have any evidence, and after the battle ended, the Avengers disappeared, and even in the newly built Avengers training center, they could not be found, and the entire building was long emptied.
The people of Kosovia do not know their whereabouts, and the post-war affairs are handled by the spokesman of the Demon Hunter Knights, Saya, and Aite and other demon hunters, and their funding is provided by the Stark Group and the Wakanda government. Moreover, they were grateful to the Avengers and the Demon Hunter Knights for Edward Lee's resurrection of their dead relatives after the war, but they were disgusted by the authorities' inquiries and were very uncooperative.
The World Security Council sent out an inquiry about the Demon Hunter Headquarters headquartered in the capital of Wakanda, Edward did not show up, and the Deputy Archon of the Earth Headquarters, the elven leader Rayman, vaguely and perfunctory in a very unfamiliar official language, the sharp-eyed Security Council administrators could see that this long-eared guy was wearing a headset, and it was obvious that someone behind him was directing him what to say.
It was only at this time that the governments of various countries found out that they could no longer take care of the Knights of the Demon Hunters, and with the official support and protection of Wakanda, the Knights of the Demon Hunters had taken root on the earth. And the Kingdom of Wakanda, the only poor continent in Africa, has a huge voice in the world, and it has always been a very stubborn one. Their officials are different from those in other countries, and the talk of world peace is not just a pretext, but a belief in it.
............
The capital of Wakanda, Star Shine Square.
Since the construction of the Star Tower, it has even surpassed the capital.
The name of the Star Glory Plaza is a square, but it is not a traditional reinforced concrete modern square, but a meadow, a huge grassland centered on the branches of the world tree Ondohir.
Strange giant trees with black and white branches and foliage stood in the middle, emitting bursts of faint brilliance. As long as one gets close to him, one can feel the exceptionally fresh air and enter a state of relaxation and happiness.
The earth elemental spirit Ovahir wandered the square, and his offspring could be found everywhere, constantly walking on the edges of the grasslands and deserts, crouching on the desert to cast spells.
A large number of tourists and believers from all over the world gather in the square, most of the believers pray and worship in front of the world tree Ondashir, and most of the tourists take out their mobile phones and cameras to take pictures of this world-class plant wonder, and occasionally some tourists join in the believers.
Since the Demon Hunter's headquarters settled in Wakanda's capital, most of the people of Wakanda have become followers of the Light. Part of the reason for this is that the purification of the North African desert by Owahir and the other part is that the dogma of the Knights of the Demon Hunters is in line with the purpose of the Wakanda Kingdom, which can be said to be a creed tailored to the Wakanda Kingdom.
Most of these believers are blacks from the Wakanda Kingdom, and there are a large number of other members who are white and yellow people from other countries, who have come to Ondashir in order to follow in the footsteps of the Holy Light, and have voluntarily joined the Wakanda nationality, which has kept the registry administrators of the Wakanda Kingdom busy for some time now.
These people are proud to be part of the Demon Hunter Order, and the observers of the Demon Hunter Knights regularly check on the best of them, and only after passing the examination can they join the Order.
Looking at the bustling scene in the square, Tony Stark, who was standing on the top floor of the Star Tower, took a deep breath.
"What? Do you envy Edward for having such a headquarters?" Rogers, who always likes to go against Stark, walked over and smiled, "Your Stark Mansion is like a ...... compared to the Starlight Tower. The difference between moldy bread and a lavish meal. β
"Oh, Rogers, I didn't expect you to be such an ungrateful fellow. Stark squinted and said, "My Stark Mansion has helped us a lot, and it's sad that you're talking about her now." Moldy bread? β
"Well, I'm wrong. "But since I left New York, I've felt a lot lighter." Maybe it's because you don't have to be involved in that deceitful life?"
"Edward has found a good place. Natasha kept visiting Edward's office as she said, "Wakanda's national focus is very similar to that of the Demon Hunter Knights, and the world influence is also very strong, with the protection of Wakanda, the Demon Hunter Knights can grow with peace of mind." β
"And with the Demon Hunter Knights in the capital of Wakanda, some people who want vibranium will have to think about it carefully. One of the new Avengers twins, Pyrop Petlow, sat on the couch with his feet crossed very unfiguratively.
"It's really a good place. Wanda the Scarlet Witch looked out the window and said, "From here, you can see the huge World Tree, and you can also look out over the Mediterranean Sea, and the bottom will also be an endless green grassland in the future." Are we going to have our headquarters here?"
"Why not?" said Rogers, "Tony, this is the best advice you've ever made since I met you. Although the Demon Hunter Knights are aliens, Edward and the Demon Hunters prove that they are indeed an organization for peace and justice. β
"So I used to be a piece of shit," Stark laughed to himself, "Well, I shouldn't have said foul language. But since what happened in Kosovo, I've reflected deeply on my behavior, and I don't know myself anymore. β
"In the Battle of New York and the Battle of Kosovia, we all fought side by side with the Knights of the Demon Hunter against my enemies, and it is better to unite than to always fight separately. β
"Besides, the political color of that place in the United States is too strong, and setting up the Avengers training center there is simply asking for trouble. Stark said, "Rogers, you have too many muscles in your head, and those officials may rarely look for youβand looking for you won't solve anything." But I get bothered by them every day. Compared to them, the officials of Wakanda and His Majesty the King are so cute, and I can't wait to move my Stark Group here. β
Rogers smiled, his taunts against Stark were almost immune.
"Take a look, the great views, the magic and technology of the defenses, the fresh environment, and of course, the lovely colleagues. As he finished speaking, Stark approached Amanda, the leader of the elves who had been sent to the headquarters.
Amanda wasn't as shy as the other elves, patted Stark on the shoulder and grinned, "I'm glad you think so, handsome, I think the head of the group will agree." β
"I'm a newcomer, but I'm also willing to merge. Vision was always curious about the huge tree in the distance, "I'm very curious about everything here, I don't have a detailed description of magic in my head, Tony, one of the reasons you made this suggestion is also the ability to study the combination of magic and technology up close, right?"
"Don't be so snobbish. Stark said, "I admit it, it's a secondary reason. I've been studying the magic book that Edward gave me lately...... Stop, Steven, I know what you're going to say, I destroyed the body of that magic book a long time ago, and I converted it into an electronic document, and there is an area without network connection, right in the Lonely Source, the main brain of the Star Tower. β
"Here, even though Edward has since left Earth, there are still these lovely colleagues. Stark smiled at Amanda, "It's important for my research, and there's a physical object for me to refer to, I guess Dr. Banner thinks so, right?"
"That's right. Banner always looked at the PDA in his hand, and after hearing Stark's words, he handed the PDA in his hand to the Lonely Source Virtual Body behind him, "Magic is indeed a new field, I'm interested in studying it, and of course the Holy Light, I heard that there are two young scientists on Coulson's side who are very experienced in this project, do you want to call them over as well?"
"You mean S.H.I.E.L.D.," Stark thought for a moment, "S.H.I.E.L.D.'s current situation is not optimistic, I think Phil will agree......"
"S.H.I.E.L.D. can't move its headquarters over. At this time, Edward, Fury, Tchaka and Edward's two disciples walked out of the elevator at the same time, and Fury said, "Of course, your Stark Group can't do it, if you really do this, the government of the United States will not give up." β
"I'm just talking. Stark shrugged his shoulders in dismay, his gaze away from Edward.
"Tony, are you still mad at me?" Edward didn't shy away, and walked over Stark and put his arm on his shoulder, "Who just said you wanted to study my magic book? β
"Well, you win, Edward. Stark sighed, "I apologize for the slander I made to you earlier. β
"It's not slander, you're partly right. Edward smiled bitterly, "It's okay if you didn't say it, but as soon as I said it, I found out that power can sometimes make people out of their minds, making people arrogant and unkind." It's been hard to keep a normal heart, and your friends and comrades are gradually leaving you, thanks for the reminder, and I apologize to you, Mr. Tony Stark. β
Stark looked at Edward with his mouth wide open, as if he couldn't believe that the being in front of him who could destroy a city in the blink of an eye would say such a thing.
"What's wrong, Tony?" Edward laughed, "won't you accept my apology?"
"No, I just think that a god would apologize to me, a mortal?" Stark came back to his senses and looked at Thordao, who was about to speak, "I'm not talking about you, Lord Thor, you and Edward are still far from each other. β
Thor opened his mouth and stopped talking, causing everyone to chuckle, and the conflict between Edward and Tony was resolved in a pleasant atmosphere.
After the group continued to talk and laugh for a while, King T'Chaka took his leave, and Edward took his desk and began to discuss business.
"Isn't Barton coming? is he really insisting on retiring?" asked Edward, glancing around.
"Fake. Natasha pouted, "It looks like he's going to retire, but I don't think he would refuse if I went to him for help." β
"Oh, Agent Natasha, it looks like you're ...... Dr. Banner," Edward said as he looked at Natasha, who was sitting together, unconsciously putting her hand over the back of Banner's hand.
Banner blushed, but Natasha confessed, "That's right, that's what you think." I'm not too young anymore, and if I continue like this, I won't be able to get married, so it's better to find a fool now. β
Everyone whistled when they heard this, and the loudest one was Deadpool: "Aha, I didn't expect that our macho man is not as good as a beautiful woman in love." β
As he spoke, this guy's eyes unconsciously aimed at Amanda, who was listening on the sidelines.
"I'm not interested in you, it's a woman and I want to talk to Mr. Amanda Jiao laughed and said, "The head of the group has no hope, Steven is the man in my mind." β
This made Rogers blush, cough awkwardly, and said, "Edward, shouldn't we get down to business?"
"Amanda, this is a serious matter......" Edward joked, "Okay, let's put this aside for now, let's talk about the merger of the Avengers and the Demon Hunter Knights." β
"Everything else is fine, we of the Demon Hunter Knights will share all our resources with you, but on the issue of command, I suggest that the Avengers be merged into the Demon Hunter Knights. β
The Avengers looked at each other, but none of them immediately said anything. The Avengers' operational command is Rogers, and the mastermind behind it is Fury. Fury has made it clear that he is going to retire, so the real commander of the Avengers is Captain America Rogers, in addition to Stark, who often raises objections.
"I agree in principle. Rogers thought for a moment and said, "But I want to know who the commander is after we merge into the Demon Hunter Knights." β
"It's T'Challa and Lehman. Edward Road.
