Chapter 981 Reinforcements
"You are Mr. Iron Man, right?"
It was not until he subconsciously followed Ji Xing and flew for a distance that Tony Stark was awakened by Ji Xing's question. He looked at Ji Xing, who spoke English with a authentic American accent. He had thousands of words in his heart, but they finally converged into one sentence.
"I should be, but I'm not sure."
After a seemingly speechless and self-deprecating sentence, he asked, "I remember that Lan's Technology completed the mass production of armor three months ago? I see that those soldiers are well-trained..."
There is no need to ask whether similar armor has really been mass-produced. Tony Stark wants to solve other doubts.
Ji Xing replied, “More than three months, we have of course conducted mass production tests before releasing it to the public… Well, that was a secret before, but it’s nothing after today.
As you can see, the mecha troops secretly formed by the country have gone through arduous training, and today is the first actual combat. The second generation of mechas are also under development. The one I am wearing is a semi-finished product and still needs a lot of improvement... Speaking of which, would Mr. Tony Stark be willing to come to our laboratory to help?"
"..."
Tony Stark had never been so speechless. He confirmed: "You... are digging me?"
“Hahaha, I’m used to it. The chairman said that we are not allowed to poach people.” Ji Xing laughed and said, “But Mr. Iron Man is welcome to visit our company.
Also, you are not here to provide reinforcements, are you? What is the situation in the United States? Do you need me to contact Director Zheng Xian of the Shenmao Bureau for you? "
"I have no interest in your company. If I hadn't promised not to sell weapons to other companies, my Mark Armor would have been mass-produced long ago." Whether it was because of his pride or to make up for the unhappiness in his heart, Tony Stark said this, and then said: "The enemies we face are not just those miscellaneous soldiers just now, but powerful gods from the nine realms.
This is a global disaster, and we need to work together to get through it. Do you have a way to contact the Director of the Shenmao Bureau? Aren’t the communication networks and signals in China cut off? "
"We have an internal network of mechas."
Ji Xing pressed a hidden button on the upper chest of the mecha, and Tony Stark immediately heard the voice of his artificial intelligence butler Jarvis: "An unfamiliar signal has been detected and is coming in, Mr. Stark."
It can actually connect to my armor? Stark was shocked again, but he remained calm and said, "Connect."
With a beep and the rustling sound of a microphone, Tony Stark heard the voice of a strange middle-aged man: "This is Zheng Xian, the director of the S.H.I.E. Bureau. Is this Mr. Stark? I have heard of your arrival."
His English level was not as good as Ji Xing's, but it was also good. Even though he spoke very fast, Tony Stark could still hear him clearly: "The situation is urgent, so let's be brief. Our 3,000 mecha corps have been dispersed and stationed in various cities, successfully blocking all the fire giants off the coastline. The current losses are basically just some property.
Judging from the enemy's strength, the situation in other Asian countries besides us should not be optimistic, but we cannot send reinforcements now because before obtaining authorization, our mecha corps cannot arbitrarily cross into the territory of other countries. Even if we go to rescue, it will only bring countless troubles later. I hope you understand. "
The words Tony Stark wanted to say were stuck in his throat. Even though he knew that Zheng Xian had prepared an excuse in advance mostly for the sake of the security of China's borders, he had to admit that such a thing was possible, or most likely to happen.
And... there are actually three thousand? !
"However, apart from the mecha corps, individual superheroes have already split up to reinforce various countries. Mr. Stark, I want to know who the nine gods from the nine realms are who have invaded the earth this time, as well as their strengths, so that we can better cooperate to resolve the crisis." Zheng Xian said quickly again.
Stark came back to his senses, his mind turning. No wonder Nick Fury said last time that Zheng Xian, the director of the S.H.I.E. Bureau, was a bastard who was well versed in the art of thick black.
They are blocking the way and have the initiative firmly in their hands. It seems that I have no other choice but to share the information for free. It's really frustrating.
But... forget it.
Thinking of New York, his compatriots being slaughtered every minute, and the mass-produced mecha he had just seen, Tony Stark did not have the idea of competing, but secretly made up his mind to mass-produce the Mark Armor after this crisis was over! It was up to him whether to sell it or not, but he had to have it!
So he quickly shared several Nine Realm gods he saw in New York, led by the Dark Elf Malekith, the Frost Giant King Laufey, the Fire Giant Queen Sind, the Angel Queen...
"Those gods are not easy to deal with. The Fire Giant Queen Sind who came to Asia can even suppress the Mother of the Gods head-on. You really don't plan to send out... this 'Mecha Corps'? If there are casualties, don't blame me for reminding you too late." Stark said.
"Thank you for your intelligence. I have understood it." Zheng Xian said, "In the spirit of humanitarianism, after dealing with the fire giant leader, we will immediately find a way to launch international reinforcements. Now, can Mr. Stark go again and keep in touch so that I can contact Director Nick Fury?"
"I don't know if that guy escaped in time." Stark said silently.
At this moment, he felt helpless, depressed, and a little absurd, because he found that he was completely unable to refuse Zheng Xian's proposal.
As Iron Man himself, he knows too well what kind of power three thousand Iron Men would have if they were combined together, even if each one was slightly weaker than him.
It is no exaggeration to say that if we ignore the nuclear war, which can unify the world with ease, the witchcraft of the dark elf Malekith will be of no use in the face of such a magnificent trend.
He may be able to cause dozens or hundreds of casualties to the mecha army, but he will definitely be defeated! In other words, when he sees China's strength, he will no longer have to pin his hopes on Thor. This invasion of the Nine Realms gods is bound to end in failure!
But... this is so weird.
Tony Stark has never felt so awkward in his life, as if... he has always been proud of picking up a beautiful girl, but one day he suddenly found out that she has three thousand ex-boyfriends?
Phew, I need to calm down.
So he said in a low voice: "Then I will go back first. The superheroes of SHIELD have temporarily retreated to the Avengers Mountain in the Arctic. It will take me several hours to fly back. I hope Director Zheng Xian will have good news by then."
After he finished speaking, he didn't say goodbye to Ji Xing, but turned around and flew towards the north. Ji Xing smiled in his heart, how could his defense be broken?
He immediately connected to Zheng Xian in a serious tone: "Director Zheng Xian, may I ask if our Chairman Aizen has also gone to other countries as a superhero of the Shenlei Bureau?"
"That's right, but don't worry." Zheng Xian said, "The one traveling with Mr. Aizen is the superhero Monkey King. He is good at close combat, camouflage, and detection. He is a nearly all-powerful hero. Your chairman is also a steady person, so he will be fine."
"Uh... ok, I get it."
……
Other Asian countries did not have three thousand Iron Men guarding them, and they all suffered severe damage under the invasion of the Fire Giant.
Seoul, South Korea, is now in ruins. The raging fire giant seems to have moved to another place, which has caused the flames here to be slightly extinguished and the roar of war to stop.
In a ruin, South Korean superhero Amadeus Cho knelt dejectedly on the ground.
The surrounding ruins were littered with corpses, some broken, some burnt black. As a superhero and one of the smartest humans on earth, "Xiao Zhao" blamed himself for his choice.
He did not risk his life to protect ordinary people. Instead, when the Fire Giant Queen Sind appeared, he took the superheroes around him and hid in an underground shelter, choosing to preserve his manpower.
This was the most correct choice, but the bodies around him were the price he paid for it. Not only that, his fellow superheroes whose lives he "saved" also looked at him with reproachful eyes, and some even slandered and abused him.
Among these superheroes, there are two heroes from China. One of them is a young man holding a gorgeous sword. Looking at the ruins around him, he finally couldn't help but point the sword at Xiao Zhao.
His name is Lin Lie, and he is a descendant of the famous Three Emperors Fuxi. According to legend, during the Battle of Zhuolu, Huangdi sought the help of Fuxi, Nuwa and Shennong in order to defeat Chiyou, and Fuxi, Nuwa and Shennong gave Huangdi three magic swords.
As the descendant of Fuxi, the sword in Lin Lie's hand is the source of his power, the Sword of Fuxi, which is also the legendary Xuanyuan Sword!
But the reason why he blamed Xiao Zhao was different from others. It was not because he wanted to avoid the limelight temporarily, but because he was tricked by Xiao Zhao into coming to South Korea to join the Atlas organization. At this critical moment, he could not protect his motherland.
The Chinese heroine Feng Xi was also saddened by this. Looking at the disaster in Seoul, they thought of the state of their motherland. They wondered how many compatriots had been massacred and how many cities had been destroyed by this time.
But they couldn't even go back!
A superhero came up to smooth things over, but the young and hot-tempered Lin Lie refused to listen until the tearful Xiao Zhao looked up and said, "When this is over, I'll do whatever you want, but now we have to work together, Lin Lie, the Fire Giant Queen is too powerful, we can't be without anyone!
There is no point regretting here. We just heard that the Fire Giant Queen's goal is to melt the Arctic ice and snow and turn the entire world into a sea of fire! We must rush to Siberia immediately and seize the last chance to stop her!"
Lin Lie paused, and his hand holding the sword loosened a little, but... couldn't he go back?
The interests of family and country are often the most difficult to decide, let alone for a young man in his twenties.
What's more... thinking back to the might of the Fire Giant Queen Sind, the superheroes' hearts trembled a little. Can we really defeat the gods?
Just when the atmosphere was getting a little tense, a voice suddenly interrupted: "It seems that we are still a little late."
The superheroes paused and looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to see two people riding tall horses leaping onto the rocks of the ruins.
One of them had a bald head and pigtails, and the other wore glasses and was gentle and elegant. They were the Monkey King and Aizen who came from China!
But the superheroes didn't recognize these two 'newcomers'. They just thought the way they appeared on horseback was absurd and weird. Xiao Zhao asked, "Who are you?"
The Monkey King smiled faintly: "Do you know the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong?"
The heroes looked at each other.
Who wouldn’t recognize this? Not to mention Lin Lie and Qi Xuan, both of whom are Chinese, the Monkey King Sun Wukong is famous all over the world.
Seeing this, the Monkey King smiled with satisfaction: "I am the second generation Monkey King, Sun Wukong!"
"..."
Lin Lie frowned and suddenly asked, "Are you Chinese? The guy next to you also..."
"Aizome, chairman of the Lan Technology Group, is now a superhero of the S.H.I.E."
Aizen smiled and said, "I'm sorry, we arrived too late and were unable to provide reinforcements in time."
"...Lan's Technology? The company that is said to have mass-produced the Iron Man mecha? Chairman Aizen?!" Lin Lie spoke each word with a tone that matched the surprised expressions on everyone's faces.
Lin Lie was even more shocked. As a resident of SH City, he had passed by the headquarters building of Lan's Technology Group several times. Even the mobile phone he used was produced by them... That's right, no wonder he looked familiar. This guy was indeed the chairman of Lan's Group in the news. He was actually a superhero?
And... "You are from China? Why are you here to reinforce South Korea? Hasn't China been attacked?!"
He was half expecting, half questioning, Aizen said calmly: "Don't worry, the mass-produced Stardust Armored Mecha Type I has been assembled in the army on a large scale, and 3000 mecha soldiers are enough to guard the security of our country."
"..."
Silence.
The superheroes' reactions were similar to when Iron Man first saw the Mecha Corps.
Three, three thousand mecha soldiers?
If we understand correctly, that's three thousand 'Iron Men'?!
Lin Lie was so shocked that he almost forgot to be happy. Xiao Zhao was the first to react: "3000 mechas? The goal of the Fire Giant Queen Sind is to melt the Arctic glaciers. If there are 3000 of them..."
"No, our mecha corps cannot rashly enter other countries, so there are only two of us coming to reinforce... Of course, there are other superheroes who have gone to other Asian countries."
Xiao Zhao said anxiously: "The situation is urgent, why bother to act rashly..."
"Hey, do you think I don't exist?" The Monkey King interrupted them with an unhappy voice. He looked at Aizen and said half helplessly and half complainingly, "I knew that you would steal the limelight if I acted with you, the honorable chairman of Aizen Technology Group."
Aizen smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, this is my first time facing actual combat, and I have to rely on the Monkey King brothers to take care of me. Director Zheng Xian should also consider this from this perspective."
"I know. There's nothing I can do. You have a bad temper towards me. I will take good care of you." The Monkey King grinned, looked at the superheroes in front of him, and snorted, "Do you know what 'Monkey King Sun Wukong' means? The Queen of Fire Giants? A god? I will kill her myself!"
Superheroes: “…”
Just this ridiculous look of yours on horseback?
He has the Monkey King's rebellious character, but lacks the strength to match it.
Aizen whispered in his heart. He could tell at a glance that the Monkey King was at the same level of power as the people in front of him. His power came from Sun Wukong and the Golden Cudgel. He was of the same type as Lin Lie who was holding the Xuanyuan Sword, and their strength was similar.
'God', the Queen of Fire Giants?
If I hadn't intervened, perhaps the Monkey King's death star... would have already been flashing!
