"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like there's something wrong with this rainforest!"
SHIELD's Level-7 agent, Herman Ross, was trekking through the rainforest of East Africa with an outpost unit. This cheerful agent was one of the few agents in SHIELD, cutting through the vines blocking the way with his hunting knife as he trudged through the mud. Although he had undergone strict training to keep up with the elite soldiers in such a terrible environment, he was a little too talkative.
And most of his complaints were the same. Even if no one paid attention to him, he could still talk happily. In fact, as the leader of this investigation team, Captain America Steve Rogers felt that this agent was just talking for the sake of talking. He didn't know how this agent developed such a personality that didn't fit the role of an agent at all.
"But this is the most likely route to Wakanda that we've learned from the local charlatans. Stop complaining, Ross, keep up!"
The captain was an elite soldier through and through. Back in World War II, he had encountered a situation worse than this. Therefore, even in the face of a terrible rainforest that grew wildly due to the abnormal climate, he could still continue forward without batting an eyelid. Until a warning sounded from behind.
"Stop! Captain, don't go forward! "
"Hmm?"
The fully armed Steve instinctively stopped. He turned around and saw the talkative agent step forward. He reached out and touched the vines beside him. He said to him with a serious face.
"We're back on the old path!"
"Hmm? Are you sure? "
Captain Rogers was very confident in his perception that had been strengthened by the super soldier serum. When he was fully focused, it was basically impossible for him to take the wrong path. But the problem was that when Agent Ross turned the vines over, the captain clearly saw the small mark that the agent had left on the vines.
This fully proved that they had indeed taken the wrong path, and that this talkative agent was definitely not a good-for-nothing on the surface.
"How many marks did you make?"
The captain stretched out his hand and gestured for his team members to spread out. His fingers stroked the vines in front of him. He could feel the slightly protruding carvings on them. The captain turned his head and looked at the vines that covered the sky. He felt a headache coming on. He said in a more serious tone.
"How long ago did you make this?"
"An hour ago, if my biological clock hasn't gone haywire."
Agent Ross took out two sticks of chewing gum from his pocket and handed one to the captain. He said as he chewed, "I made at least 14 marks, but I've only found this one so far! And it's healing quickly. "
The agent was right. The notches on the vines in the captain's hand were disappearing, and they were even healing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. This was enough to show how strange this place was.
"We can't stay here!"
The captain immediately gave the order to retreat. "Go back, let's get out of here!"
Rostegong followed behind him and looked at the rainforest behind him with a trace of resentment. "Ha, it seems that those swindlers have tricked us again!"
"It's not exactly a lie."
The captain took a deep breath. "Wakanda is as mysterious as the legendary heavenly kingdom. Those old priests don't know the specific path to enter, but our army is stuck here. We can't go on like this. We have to find a way out as soon as possible!"
In theory, the allied army that could easily wipe out the entire African continent was trapped here. In front of them was an inescapable rain forest, and behind them were the menacing Egyptian gods. The soldiers of the allied army were in an unprecedentedly bad situation. The cause of this matter had to be explained three months ago.
Three months ago, the Alliance for the Survival of Mankind, led by Utopia, had submitted a strong "common development plan" to Wakanda, but they did not receive a reply. Ten days later, the first batch of troops parachuted into East Africa, and the war against Wakanda began.
Utopia's First Legion was the vanguard, and the American Navy and the Eastern Army were the main force. In five days, they defeated the 300,000 gods from Egypt and opened up a path to East Africa. In the beginning, Wakanda sent their troops to fight the allied army, and both sides were in a stalemate for almost a month.
It was not that the allied army was weak, but the power of Wakanda was beyond the imagination of all the countries. In terms of technology, the allied army was proud of, but they were crushed by an East African country. When the army approached the border of Wakanda, Wakanda's spaceship bombed the allied army's camp from the sky as a warning.
They were black, sci-fi looking airships. They flew faster than the speed of sound and traversed back and forth in the atmosphere. Ordinary fighter jets were no match for them. It was not until the Kryptonian battleship replicas arrived that the situation was slightly reversed.
The surprise attack left the frontline commanders confused and disoriented. The originally unstoppable army had no choice but to slow down temporarily. After the alliance's air power repelled Wakanda's high-tech air force, they were met with the stubborn resistance of Wakanda's unique liquid metal rhinoceros army formation on the main battlefield.
Yes, they were ordinary rhinoceroses, but the Africans who had mastered black technology had covered the rhinoceroses with a luxurious vibranium shell, turning them into steel monsters that could withstand grenade bombardment. Wakanda looked primitive, but the warriors wielding black technology weapons followed behind the metal rhinoceroses, waving blue fluorescent spears in their hands. They looked like native warriors from the 17th century.
However, this kind of vibranium spear could easily destroy a main battle tank with each shot. In the face of the coalition's projectiles, the black lads only needed to spread out the blankets on their bodies to block the cannonballs. This kind of joke was no longer funny.
At this moment, the higher-ups of the allied forces finally understood why Wakanda had the guts to reject their goodwill. Why even the powerful Sorcerer Supreme had to use conciliatory methods to resolve the dispute with Wakanda … In the backward land of Africa, there was actually such a strange country that could beat the whole world in terms of science and technology … It was really hard to imagine.
But no matter how advanced technology was, it could not produce warriors out of thin air. The size of Wakanda's land determined that they could only win by surprise. When faced with the enemy's tactic of adding fuel to the fire, their defeat was almost certain. Just one night a month and a half ago, Wakanda, under the leadership of their king, the mysterious hero Black Panther, launched a surprise attack on the allied army's camp in an attempt to end the war.
Unfortunately, when they tore through the 200,000 allied army's defense line and rushed into the command center, they saw President Charles, Doctor Strange, Bloody Queen Catherine, all the high-ranking agents of Sky Sword Bureau and S.H.I.E.L.D., and all the employees of Krypton Security Company who had been waiting for a long time.
King Black Panther relied on his invulnerable vibranium armor to survive, and the warriors who followed him into the enemy's camp were all captured. Wakanda's surprise attack plan failed miserably.
Now, they could only rely on their undamaged battleships and the strange terrain advantage to continue the confrontation with the allied army. The most embarrassing thing was that no matter how powerful the heroes were, they could not find Wakanda's specific location even after searching the entire East Africa. This was because Wakanda's warriors had been infused with vibranium since they were young, so the method of viewing and memorizing them was ineffective.
Moreover, as soon as the Wakanda's soul left their body, it would be swept away by a strange existence. The veteran demon warlocks of The Devil Gang also expressed that they could not do anything about it. Thus, the war was in a complete stalemate.
"I participated in the Gulf War, the Afghan War, and the Iraq War … I can barely be considered half a veteran."
Agent Roth said unwillingly, "I have never seen such a strange war. We have already defeated their main force, and the group of Wakanda who escaped will not be able to hide in the valley forever. I think they know this too."
"The problem is that it's been more than a month since they were completely defeated last time! They don't even care about the captured soldiers. "
The captain moved the shield in his hand and looked at the distant outpost. He reached out and unbuttoned the button on his neck. He said softly, "Either those guys who have mastered the Zenith technology are hiding somewhere and planning a big counterattack, or … they have internal problems."
Steve said with the tone of a veteran.
"Now, all we have to do is to find that place and launch an attack. This war that should have ended a long time ago will be over. In the end, our most terrifying opponent now is not these stubborn Wakanda. The more time and energy we waste on them, the less power we have to deal with the Demonic God."
The two of them chatted as they walked toward the outpost base. As soon as they walked out of the rainforest, a gigantic shadow suddenly tore open the sky and appeared above the outpost base. The storm stirred up by the space jump fluttered their hair and clothes. They looked up and saw the gigantic creature that had completely blocked out the sunlight. Both of them were surprised.
"The Heaven Breaker is here too!"
Steve said softly, "Looks like Catherine's patience has run out."
The thirty-five-meter-tall spaceship floated in the sky like a sharp sword. Although the Heaven Breaker was relatively small among the large spaceships, its combat power and destructive power were witnessed by all the heroes who participated in the battle of Paradise Island. This thing was now the symbol of Utopia's royalty and their supreme military power. Its arrival meant that Utopia had started to get serious.
When Steve returned to the outpost, Coulson, who was dressed in black, appeared in front of him and Ross.
"Follow me, Captain and Ross."
Coulson said softly, "I have brought a guide for you. The war in Wakanda has dragged on for too long. It is time to end it."
Hum!
The beam of light from the warship's portal flashed. Captain America and the Level 7 agent walked into the dark gothic interior of the Heaven Breaker. When they walked into the command room, they saw three figures floating on the sand table.
They were S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury, Sky Sword Bureau Director General Zheng Xian, and Utopia's military leader General Charlie Lewis.
Steve gave a standard military salute. Then, he heard Fury say in a deep voice, "The war in Wakanda is about to end.
"The battle against Wakanda is about to enter its final stage. Captain, the situation in Europe has begun to deteriorate. We need to transfer the East African troops to Europe to maintain the safety of several civilized islands that have not yet fallen. There will not be many people left. Now, on behalf of the Alliance for the Survival of Mankind, I hand over the frontline command to you. You and Agent Coulson will be in charge of the follow-up infiltration operations!
After Fury finished speaking, Captain America wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by General Lewis.
"I know what you are worried about, Captain, but according to the instructions of the Utopia Supreme Council, the Heaven Breaker and the accompanying special response force will be under your command. In other words, although there are fewer people left, the ability to fight head-on has not weakened. Under the guidance of this guide, I believe that you will soon complete the final attack on Wakanda!"
"No matter what! Captain, the Human Survival Alliance only has one request … "
A murderous look flashed across Lewis's black-masked face. "Bring back the Soul Gem and enough Vibranium resources! As for the rest … life or death! "
A hesitant expression appeared on Captain America's face, but in the end, he nodded silently and said softly,
"Okay, I accept the order!"
"Hum …"
The projection in front of him disappeared, leaving only three people in the command room. Facing Captain America, who was not in a good mood, Coulson could see at a glance that this guy was conflicted. On one hand, the importance of the Soul Gem was obvious, but on the other hand, the order from the Supreme Council had a trace of undisguised brutality. This made Captain America, who was naturally kind, find it difficult to accept.
"Fu … If I can tell you a secret, it will make you feel better …"
Coulson lowered his voice.
"Do you still remember the promise of the Human Survival Alliance to the soldiers? Steve, we promised that any soldier who died on the battlefield would get a second chance … Utopia shared the resurrection circle, so the soldiers had no worries. But now, this is where the problem lies. "
"The souls of the soldiers who died on the East African battlefield … have disappeared."
"Hmm?!"
Steve's expression became very ugly, and he subconsciously guessed, "Soul Gem?"
"Yes, Soul Gem!"
Coulson heaved a sigh of relief and shrugged. "So, do you understand? Steve, now that we have taken back the Soul Gem, it is equivalent to saving at least 50,000 people! This is a good thing we have to do! Don't feel pressured because of this. "
Captain America closed his eyes slightly, and after a moment, he nodded.
"Okay, then when do we set off?"
