I'm starting a mythology craze at Marvel

Chapter 170 Reinforcements
The sky was just beginning to light up, and the city was still immersed in tranquility. Jack, Eric, and Hawkeye were busy making preparations in their temporary base, and the air was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere.

Just then, a low roar came from far away, breaking the tranquility of the early morning.

The three of them looked out the window at the same time, and saw several black SUVs slowly driving into a nearby parking lot. The doors opened, and a group of people in S.H.I.E.L.D. uniforms filed out. Their steps were in unison, revealing a well-trained temperament.

Hawkeye quickly went over and shook hands with the leading SHIELD agent.

"Matt, I didn't expect you to lead a team to support me."

Hawkeye was ecstatic, as he knew very well how capable his old friend was.

After practicing again, he will probably not be weaker than me, a man who sold his soul.

"Barton, I'm glad you're safe and sound."

Matt looked at Hawkeye with a complicated look. The Daredevil was still brooding over the fact that Hawkeye made a deal with the devil and sold his soul to become Ghost Rider.

But now that Hawkeye is using this power to destroy vampires, it is not convenient for Matt to say anything more.

A hint of mixed emotions flashed across Matt's eyes, but he quickly regained his firmness.

He patted Hawkhand's shoulder and whispered, "Patton, let the past be the past. Now, we have a common goal, which is to prevent the impending disaster.

Your abilities, no matter where they come from, are worthy of respect as long as they are used to protect the innocent."

Hawkeye felt a warm feeling in his heart when he heard this.

He nodded and said solemnly: "Matt, thank you. I will use all my strength to ensure the success of this mission."

Matt then turned to Jack and Eric and briefly introduced the latest intelligence and equipment brought by SHIELD.

"Is the situation so bad? Are the dead resurrecting all over the country?"

Hawkeye looked at Matt in surprise, somewhat unbelievable.

Although the media reported it extensively, Hawkeye never believed in the news.

However, that group of vampires do have this ability, and they can even revive ashes into skeleton warriors.

Matt nodded heavily, confirming Hawkeye's doubt. "Yes, Barton, the situation is more serious than we expected.

The power of vampires is expanding rapidly, and their abilities are growing. Not only are the dead resurrected, but more horrific phenomena that we cannot imagine are happening.”

He paused, as if collecting his thoughts, and then continued, “S.H.I.E.L.D. has mobilized all available resources, but we still need people with special abilities like you to assist us.

Your mission, along with Jack and Eric, is to infiltrate a secret gathering of vampires, where a ritual is said to be taking place that could completely change the course of the war."

"Secret gathering?" Eric frowned, his voice revealing a hint of curiosity and nervousness. "What kind of ceremony is it?"

Matt's look turned extremely serious.

"The intelligence we have obtained is very limited, but it is said that this ritual is related to an ancient power that can greatly enhance the strength of the vampire leader and may even give him the ability to control all vampires. If this power falls into the hands of vampires, the consequences will be disastrous."

Eric clenched his fists.

"Then we can't let them succeed. We must stop this ritual."

Hawkeye also nodded, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination.

"Yes, we must act quickly. The threat of vampires cannot be ignored, and we must ensure that the ritual is stopped."

Matt looked at them approvingly, then continued, “We’ve already developed a preliminary infiltration plan.

Since vampires are extremely sensitive to any abnormal energy fluctuations, we cannot approach directly as superpowers. Therefore, we plan to disguise you as ordinary participants. "

"Disguised as a participant?" Hawkeye frowned slightly. "Then we need to know the specific information of the rally, such as the time, location, and identification of the participants, etc."

Matt pulled out a detailed document from his pocket and handed it to Hawkeye. "This is all the intelligence we have collected, including the specific location of the rally, the estimated time, and the possible identities of the participants. You need to study this information carefully to ensure that everything is safe."

The three took the document and began to read it carefully. Jack and Eric exchanged opinions from time to time, while Hawkeye tapped the table with his fingers, as if thinking about something.

"There is one more thing." Matt added, "Due to the increasing power of vampires, we have to prepare for the worst. If things are beyond our control, you must retreat immediately and do not take risks."

Hawkeye raised his head, his eyes firm. "Don't worry, Matt, we will complete the mission and protect ourselves."

Matt nodded, then turned to Eric and Jack.

"You too, must be careful. SHIELD will provide the necessary support. I will also disguise myself and go in with you, but be careful not to be careless."

After careful preparation, the four of them set out for the secret vampire gathering as night fell, wearing carefully prepared disguises.

The gathering place is located in an abandoned castle, which is hidden deep in a dense forest, far away from human habitation. It is an ideal secret base for vampires.

The castle's outer walls are mottled, and time has left deep marks on them, but in the night, it exudes a strange and alluring atmosphere.

Jack, Eric, Hawkeye and Matt, with the cover of night, approached the castle quietly.

The four of them carefully walked through the dense forest, calculating every step with great precision to avoid making any sound that might alert the vampire. The night wind blew gently, and the leaves rustled, as if accompanying their actions with a secret movement.

Jack was wearing a well-tailored dark suit with an exquisite tie at his collar. He was holding a seemingly ordinary cane in his hand, but it was actually a hidden weapon specially made by S.H.I.E.L.D., which contained various emergency tools and micro explosives.

Eric dressed up as a young scholar, wearing a retro scholar's robe and a pocket watch on his chest that looked like a research watch, but was actually a small information collector that could capture and analyze subtle changes in the surrounding environment. He wore a pair of round-frame glasses, which added a bit of bookishness to his look, but this did not affect his alertness to be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Hawkeye put on a neat tuxedo, an exquisite hat, and played with a deck of playing cards. Each card was specially designed with sharp edges, which could be used as a weapon at a critical moment. His eyes flashed through the lenses, as if he could see through the truth under all disguises. Matt, as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., also put on a suit that suited his identity, but compared to others, his outfit was more low-key, without obvious iconic items, so that he could quickly blend into the crowd in an emergency and perform retreat or support tasks.

He carries a specially made silenced pistol on his waist, as well as a series of small explosive devices to ensure that he can deliver a fatal blow to the enemy when necessary.

As they gradually approached the castle, a cold breath blew in their faces. The gate of the castle was looming in the night, as if it was a portal to another world.

The four exchanged a firm look, then slowly walked towards the gate, ready to begin their infiltration.

As they approached the gate, they used their pre-prepared identification tags to successfully avoid the inspection of the vampire guards.

The door slowly opened, and a low chanting sound came from inside the castle, accompanied by a faint smell of blood, which made people feel chilly.

They walked along the corridor and gradually went deeper into the castle. The structure of the castle was extremely complex, like a maze that was hard to figure out.

But relying on the maps and intelligence prepared in advance, the four carefully avoided the patrol routes of the vampire guards.

At the end of the corridor was a spacious hall. In the center of the hall stood a huge round table with dozens of vampires sitting around it. They were talking in low voices, seemingly discussing something important.

The air was filled with a faint smell of blood and an indescribable eerie atmosphere.

The four of them carefully walked around the round table, trying not to make any noise. Using the identification they had prepared in advance, they successfully blended into the vampire gathering.

Jack, Eric, and Hawkeye each found their own seats, while Matt chose a spot near the door so he could respond quickly in case of an emergency.

They began to observe the vampires around them carefully, trying to find the vampire leader who was performing the ritual.

The vampires in the hall were of different shapes, some wearing gorgeous dresses, and some wearing tattered cloaks, but their eyes revealed an indescribable evil and greed.

At the other end of the round table, a tall, ferocious-looking vampire attracted the attention of the four.

He was wearing a black robe, a tall hat, and holding a scepter inlaid with gems. There was a deep and evil light in his eyes, as if he could see through everything.

The four of them felt a tightness in their hearts as they realized that this person was most likely the vampire leader they were looking for.

They began to observe his actions more carefully, trying to find the key to stopping the ritual.

"Everyone, today is the return of our gods."

The vampire leader stood up, his voice echoing in the hall with an unquestionable majesty, "Through this ceremony, we will awaken the power that has been dormant for a thousand years, let the gods come to the world, and lead us to eternal glory!"

As he finished speaking, the vampires in the hall stood up one after another, their faces filled with enthusiasm and anticipation.

Some people began to chant ancient spells in a low voice, while others gathered in a circle and began to perform some kind of mysterious ritual.

As the vampire leader finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense and fanatical. Jack, Eric, Hawkeye and Matt were secretly on guard, knowing that the time to stop this ritual had come.

Hawkeye held the playing cards tightly, his eyes flashing with the unique flame light of Ghost Rider through the lenses.

Jack held the special cane tightly. Although he played an important role both times, the power was not under his control. He was still nervous when faced with such a big scene.

Eric stood quietly by, his fingers gently stroking the pocket watch, his eyes flashing with wisdom.

He was using the information collector in his pocket watch to analyze subtle changes in the surrounding environment, looking for the best time to act.

Matt remained highly alert, his eyes moving among the vampires, looking for a possible breakthrough.

At this moment, the vampire leader raised his scepter high, and his voice echoed in the hall again: "The ceremony begins!"

As his words fell, the vampires in the hall began to chant spells more enthusiastically, and the air around them seemed to tremble.

"For the sake of innocent people, we must stop this ritual!" Hawkeye whispered to Jack, Eric and Matt.

The four of them exchanged a quick look and then sprang into action.

Hawkeye transformed into Ghost Rider, and rushed towards the vampire leader like a burning flame. His eyes spewed out blazing flames, and the flame symbol on his helmet seemed to have life, releasing suffocating heat, instantly illuminating the dim hall.

Eric followed closely behind, holding two knives tightly in his hands, the blades flashing coldly in the night. He was agile and swift, like a cheetah, and quickly approached the vampire leader.

The two swords drew silver tracks in the air, and each strike contained enough power to tear steel.

Matt holds a special stick with a sharp blade and a high-voltage current device hidden in it. He uses his special agent skills to flexibly shuttle among the vampires, looking for the best time to attack.

Every time he swung his stick, it was accompanied by lightning and thunder, posing a considerable threat to the vampires.

Jack quickly hid in a corner and prayed to his God, begging Him to lend him strength, but there was no response.

The vampire leader's face suddenly changed when he saw this. He quickly waved the scepter in his hand, releasing a black energy wave, trying to block the attack of the three people. However, Hawkeye's flames, Eric's double knives and Matt's stick, like three unstoppable torrents, broke through the obstruction of the black energy wave.

The vampires in the hall retreated in fear, as they had never seen such a powerful enemy. However, they soon regained their enthusiasm and began to besiege the three.

Hawkeye was wrapped in flames, as if he had turned into an invincible god of war. He waved his whip of fire and repelled the approaching vampires one by one. Whenever a vampire tried to approach him, he would be whipped into ashes by the whip of fire.

Eric showed off his excellent close combat skills. He was like a ghost, his two swords flying among the vampires, and every strike was accurate and deadly.

His dual swords seemed to be an extension of himself, and no matter how the vampires dodged, they could not escape his attacks.

Matt used his identity as an agent to cleverly hide among the vampires. Whenever vampires tried to attack him, he would kill them with a stick.

The three of them cooperated well, as if they had formed an unstoppable force, and it seemed that the vampire's plan was about to fail.
