Chapter 679 Our War Behemoths Have Been Deployed
Kraken Daniel Holwright continued to escalate the conflict with an expressionless face: one after another, massive Hydra robots crossed the portals constructed of Norn Stone and arrived on the battlefield. These enormous robots, which were forty or fifty meters tall, were themselves huge war machines, capable of deploying hundreds of soldiers at a time.
One after another, Hydra power armors appeared on the battlefield. Although these armors were all modified from Obadiah's Iron Monger armor and were far inferior to the current Iron Man armor, they were everywhere, numbering in the hundreds.
There are also mass-produced symbiotic soldiers, Inhuman soldiers, and substandard super-soldier serum prototypes; more and more combat power is being deployed to this barbaric land.
How did all of this happen?
Kraken still hasn't figured this out. If he knew that all of this was an accident caused by Spider-Man's involvement in the investigation of the Hand, he would probably want to skin his good apprentice Gorgon alive.
But now, Kraken only intends to escalate his bets relentlessly, constantly and frantically.
"Sir! We have deployed over 30,000 soldiers to the battlefield, but the enemy has stabilized their lines after receiving reinforcements, and Dr. Faust has been confirmed dead! The Viper Supreme Leader is asking if we should continue to increase our forces..."
A Hydra henchman came to report the situation: with Strucker captured and Zemo needing to infiltrate the enemy camp, Viper was now the nominal supreme leader of Hydra, and in most cases, he could indeed handle most of Hydra's affairs on his own. However, the current battle had become too large, too large for Viper to control.
Kraken, a veteran who survived since the Red Skull era, was the one truly responsible for making the final decisions.
"Go tell Ophelia not to be afraid of casualties. It's worth it no matter how many people die here. Go quickly."
Kraken glanced at his men and said decisively. To the messenger, this meant that as long as the Avengers could be eliminated here, it would be worth it no matter how many Hydras died.
But in reality, Kraken didn't want to kill the Avengers, and considering the Avengers' objectives and ease of retreat, it would probably be difficult for him to kill them.
If he truly intended to engage the Avengers in a decisive battle, he wouldn't be resorting to piecemeal tactics here. He could have mobilized all his forces within half an hour of the nuclear bombing, but he didn't. What he wanted was for the Avengers to inflict even greater casualties; the more Hydra the Avengers killed, the happier he was.
"When the US government, no, the world, realizes just how much casualties superhumans can cause in a war, the era of superheroes will be over—superhumans will be regulated, incorporated into the military, and restricted by the laws of various countries, and every place will be a corner where Hydra can intervene."
Kraken smiled. How many people had the Avengers sent out? A little over ten? Yet they were able to kill enemy forces dozens or even hundreds of times their size. Many people had predicted this in the past, but predictions and assumptions are not the same as what actually happened.
Before the little boy and the fat man were born, no one believed in the power of nuclear bombs. Similarly, if there is no war to demonstrate the Avengers' "power," then superpowered people can easily become their friendly neighbors.
Thinking of this, Kraken couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
"The era of friendly neighbors is over, kids."
-
Friendly neighbor Spider-Man has just accomplished the feat of single-handedly killing all the symbiote soldiers—at least those sent by Hydra.
Then he leaped and landed on Zola. Anim Zola, who had been pinned to the ground by Peter, laughed without any panic: "Hahaha, see you next time, Spider-Man!"
After saying that, Zola's body emitted a dazzling light; he was about to self-destruct. Peter's spider-sense had already sensed the danger, so he dodged ahead of time. Then, he looked at Katie, who was repeatedly using her abilities to disintegrate the new elementals, and immediately rushed over. He used magic to expel all their spirits from their bodies, and then bound them all with the magic of the Web of Fate.
"Looks like it's all done here. To be honest, I thought it would be more troublesome..."
Peter looked at Zola's remains in the distance. Of course, Zola wasn't dead. This guy was already a digital life form. As an artificial intelligence, it didn't matter how many of these bodies died as long as the main body wasn't damaged. But Zola was offline now, and it would take some time for him to come back online. In addition, after the communication channel said that Dr. Faust was dead and no one could control Hulk, the Avengers were basically given the green light.
Someone is slacking off.
Peter's spider sense suddenly went off, and he immediately yelled "Get down!" and shielded Katie behind him. But Katie was more aggressive and tackled Peter directly. Then, the gunfire passed through the two of them, blasting a large crater in the ground beneath them.
Although the two people who fell in were not injured at all.
"Oh, uh, thank you."
Peter shook his head, intending to stand up, but his head rang again, so he could only shout, "It's not over yet," and have Katie carry him to continue dodging the gunfire—it has to be said that Phantom Cat's ability is indeed very useful.
However, the continuous barrage from a dozen or so Hydra robots in the distance was not so pleasant.
"What do we do next?"
"Go find Strange and ask him what he's doing here if he's not doing any work. Hold me back, I need to cast a spell to open the Suspended Ring."
Katie grabbed Peter's arm and watched as he cast a spell to open a portal. The two of them rushed to Strange's side amidst the gunfire, incidentally firing a cannonball at him. Strange, who had blocked the cannonball with a shield spell, looked at Peter and Katie speechlessly: "What are you doing, Spider-Man?"
"I wanted to ask if you have any ideas on how to deal with those Hydra robots, since Thor isn't here today."
"Actually, I've been thinking of a way to open a big door and teleport a big guy over."
big guy?
Peter seemed to understand something and looked up at the sky. A huge, sword-shaped spaceship, whose length was measured in kilometers and which was completely beyond the capabilities of modern humans to build, appeared above the wild continent. Then, cannons from the 31st century aimed at the Hydra's position.
Hydra bombarded the Avengers with nuclear weapons, which took thirty minutes.
The Heavenly Sword Bureau's bombardment of Hydra lasted only 30 seconds.
