The Martial God of the Marvel World

Chapter 344 The Dark Army Attacks
After hearing Tony's conclusion, everyone cheered and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed.

The only one who was unhappy was Red Skull. He had a gloomy face and growled like a defeated dog, "This is impossible!"

"How could it be so easy for you to crack something that I have spent decades researching without any results?"

"You must be making a wild guess, there is no scientific basis for this!"

"It's no use. You will have to sacrifice your loved ones' souls in the end!"

Everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter at the Red Skull's frustrated look.

"Red Skull, you have been bound here for decades. You can't imagine how advanced the technology in the outside world has become."

Steve looked at his old enemy with sympathy, remembering the confusion and helplessness he felt when he first woke up and faced the strange world.

"The technology you were so proud of back then is now completely outdated. Even the most ordinary researchers in the Academy of Sciences are probably better than you. What's more, Tony Stark and Professor Hulk are both among the most powerful scientists on Earth."

"Actually, you can remove the two words 'one of'." Tony said proudly.

"Well, you got something done, you're the best!" Steve shrugged, completely immune to Tony's cocky behavior.

The Red Skull roared in impotent rage. If his body had not been destroyed, he would have pounced on him and started fighting.

Just as everyone was laughing and joking, Friday suddenly reminded:

"Gentlemen, the fluctuation of space jump has been detected in outer space. Many strange warships have appeared outside of Vormir. Roughly judging, there is a high possibility that they are coming for the Soul Gem."

Everyone was shocked, "Oh no! We can't let them take the Soul Stone first!"

"Then let's prepare for war! Drive them all away and come back once we get the Power Stone."

The Avengers were fully armed and ready to go to war, but the raccoon suddenly said, "Or we can let them get the Soul Stone first, and then snatch the stone from them. This is much faster than going to get the Power Stone and then coming back."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

They were all used to being superheroes, so they didn't even think of using robbery to get the gems. But Rocket was an interstellar thief, so his first reaction was to steal or rob.

Thor agreed first. He laughed and said, "Yes, this method is much faster. I agree!"

Steve looked around at his teammates and immediately understood everyone's attitude. He smiled and said, "Okay, let's also play the role of a star pirate today."

"Let's hide first, and wait until the Soul Gem appears before we take action. But be careful not to let them run away!"

"Well, there's a small problem here." Tony pointed his finger at the floating Red Skull next to him, "He will definitely betray us!"

The Red Skull was in a state of impotent rage, but when he saw them all turning their heads to look at him, the red, expressionless skull face immediately turned from anger to joy and he laughed heartily, happy that he could ruin the plans of his old enemies.

Everyone hated him to the core, but they had no way to deal with the Red Skull in his soul form.

"Is there any need for us to ambush?" Clint asked the captain helplessly.

Steve sighed, "Let's negotiate with them first. To obtain the Soul Stone, one needs to sacrifice one's beloved. Maybe they will retreat automatically after knowing this..."

"Based on the known intelligence, the incoming warships belong to the Dark Legion!" Friday interrupted Steve and suddenly said.

"Thanos is coming?" Everyone was shocked and turned to look at Nebula.

"No, the time is wrong! Thanos is not here at this time."

Xingyun shook his head, thought for a moment, and said:
"I see. This is a reconnaissance force, a force specifically tasked with determining the location of the Infinity Stones for Thanos. As far as I can remember, this Q-type battleship should belong to the Black Dwarf among the Black Order."

Professor Hulk suddenly realized, "I remember him. We fought each other during the battle of Wakanda."

"Very good, since we were able to defeat him last time, we can still do it this time!" Steve raised his shield, "Unfortunately, Thanos didn't come this time, otherwise we might be able to solve this problem once and for all!"

"What? Have you decided to officially intervene in the affairs of this universe?" The little raccoon glanced at him sideways and asked coldly.

"Since we are sure that what we did before was wrong, we must correct it as soon as possible!" Steve looked around and glanced at the faces of all his companions one by one, "Because of our appeasement, we have led to the current disastrous consequences!"

"I'm not sure if what we are going to do next will make things worse, but at least, with everything in the future unknown, we can have a clear conscience!"

“I don’t know if we can complete the final mission, but we will do our best, and even if we die during the mission, we will have no regrets.”

"Now, partners, pick up your weapons and do what we, the Avengers, should do!"

Everyone raised their weapons, shouted in unison, and rushed down the mountain. If nothing unexpected happened, the Dark Army would surely land at the bottom of the mountain.

In space, the fleet's commander, Black Dwarf, was unaware of the ambush below and was arranging for a search party to conduct a routine search.

He learned about the Soul Stone from local documents when he conquered another planet, but there was too much fragmented information of this kind, and most of it was invalid and outdated.

As the fleet's commander-in-chief and one of the five Obsidian generals, he didn't have to go out to investigate personally. He could just leave all the work to his subordinates. He would only come out in person when his subordinates encountered an enemy they couldn't handle.

Unlike other desperate men who followed Thanos, Black Dwarf only pledged allegiance to Thanos for the survival of his race. He fought for him and obtained resources, that's all. He was more like a mercenary or a wage earner, so it was normal for him to be a bit shabby when his boss was not around.

All along, relying on the notorious banner of the Dark Legion in the universe and the powerful force that can destroy the planet, they have been smooth sailing in the search for the Infinity Stones and have never encountered an enemy that requires him to personally confront. However, as the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. Today, he ran into a tough guy.

Thanks to Friday's intelligence, the Dark Army found no trace of the Avengers.

As soon as the Dark Army appeared, Friday hid the spaceship. Although Vormir was not big, it was still a planet. As long as a spaceship did not go to a conspicuous place, it could hide anywhere and turn off the engine, and no one would be able to find it.

The black dwarf left the mothership in the void and did not land at all. Such a large super battleship would consume a lot of energy every time it took off and landed in the atmosphere. It was completely unnecessary. It only needed to release a small detection spacecraft to work.

Normally, after staying here for a month or so, we would be able to find out whether there is any information about the Soul Gem on the planet below, and then we could go back home or continue investigating based on the information.

Space travel is very boring, and time is often calculated in months or years, so the most common thing in the super battleship is various entertainment activities. After all, those who join the Dark Legion are scums who are more brutal than the interstellar predators. They never take life seriously, whether it is the enemy's or their own. They live a life of drinking and enjoying life today, and who knows if they will die on a planet tomorrow.

Black Dwarf also often joins in these entertainments, leaving some good memories in his boring process.

However, before he even picked up his glass today, he heard a deafening alarm from the battleship, and at the same time, red lights flashed everywhere inside the entire battleship.

This is a sign that the battleship is under attack!
"Damn it!" Black Dwarf dropped his wine glass and said, "Activate the automatic defense device."

At the same time, he asked the mothership's intelligent brain: "What happened?"

"The exploration spacecraft was attacked the moment it entered the atmosphere. All seventeen exploration spacecraft were shot down and wiped out. No survivors were detected."

The voice of the intelligent brain is always so calm and steady.

"Immediately, the enemy broke out of the atmosphere and launched an attack on the mothership."

"The enemy's firepower is very strong, and the mothership's automatic defense device can't hold out for much longer." The intelligent computer urged.

"Open the battle lane and release the fighter group."

Black Dwarf issued an order through the intelligent brain, then picked up his weapon and rushed back to the command center. Although he didn't think that any enemy could break through the defense of the Dark Legion warriors and enter the mothership, as an excellent warrior, he would still be ready to fight at any time.

As for on-site command, it is not necessary at all.

These desperadoes are veterans of the battlefield. They don't need too many commands and will automatically make the right choices. Compared with various entertainment activities, they prefer to fight with the enemy on the battlefield. The blood and wailing of the enemy are their favorite entertainment.

As soon as the alarm sounded, there was no need for Black Dwarf to give orders. All the crew members picked up their weapons and started boarding the nearest spacecraft. Then, under the guidance of the intelligent computer, they entered the battle channel in order and joined the battle.

"Where are the enemies? How many are there? How long do you expect to take to eliminate them?" After returning to the command center, Black Dwarf confidently asked the intelligent computer.

The intelligent computer did not answer directly, but projected the scene outside the battleship in front of him.

In the space, a figure holding a large axe, with lightning wrapped around his body, was cutting through the sky, moving back and forth among the fighter planes. Wherever he went, all the fighter planes would be killed instantly, falling like rain. And all the attacks from the fighter planes, falling on him, were like a breeze blowing on his face, and could not even break his skin.

In addition, there were several people wearing armor, using various backward gunpowder weapons to fight against space fighters. This kind of weapon can only be used in combat within the atmosphere, and it poses no threat to the flexible space fighters. They can be avoided with just a slight dodge.

However, these people soon realized this and switched to using laser weapons emitted from their hands to attack. However, the frequency of these people's attacks was too slow and the threat was limited.

I don’t know what materials these people’s armor is made of. Although their attack power is weak, their defense power is extremely strong. After being hit by the space fighter’s machine gun, they are almost intact.

As for the legitimate enemy warship, there was only one, and it was unclear what faction it belonged to. It was probably owned by some lone ranger. The firepower of the warship was very strong, and the casualties it caused were no less than that of the axe-wielding warrior. It could be seen that the pilot controlling this warship must be an ace pilot.

Black Dwarf took in the performance of all the enemies with a quick glance and made a preliminary assessment in his mind.

"The one holding the axe seems to be an Asgard warrior." He pointed his finger at Thor in the virtual image and said lightly.

"Based on the information in the database, there is an 87% chance that he is the crown prince of Asgard, Thor. However, his appearance and body shape are not consistent with Thor in the database, and his weapon is not Thor's hammer. The possibility of a disguised identity cannot be ruled out."

Asgard is also a major force in the universe. The reputation of Asgardian warriors for their good fighting skills resounds throughout the universe, and the name of the fighting nation is known to everyone. Moreover, some of the things Odin did in the past still make many powerful forces feel fearful and dare not underestimate them.

Even the Dark Legion, a powerful force that runs rampant in the universe, does not dare to easily run into Asgard and act recklessly.

However, according to the news that Black Dwarf recently received from some underground channels, Odin may be dead.

There are many power systems in this world, and all kinds of strange abilities are everywhere in the universe. Abilities such as prophecy and astrology may not be used on a living Odin, but they can still be used to determine whether Odin is dead or not.

Without Odin, Asgard’s deterrent power to the Dark Army was greatly reduced.

Black Dwarf sneered, "There is more than just one Thor in Asgard. Anyone who gets the weapon given by Odin can become the Thor. Regardless of whether this guy is the Crown Prince Thor or not, I will treat him as if he is not!"

If Thanos' plan is to be realized, the Dark Army will definitely confront Asgard. Black Dwarf is well aware of this. He is determined to kill the powerful Thor who has left Asgard and eliminate an enemy in advance.

As for the enemies other than Thor, he didn't take them seriously at all.

In his eyes, the Avengers wearing the iron armor provided by Tony, as well as Rocket the Raccoon and Nebula driving the battleship, are just Thor's subordinates.

Soldiers against soldiers, against generals.

He was responsible for killing Thor, while his men were responsible for cleaning up the miscellaneous soldiers.

The division of labor is clear and the arrangement is reasonable, nothing wrong!
