Lord of Cinder in American Comics

"Here you go, a Silka cigarette, right?"

The cigarettes that were originally unused in Constantine's storeroom are now proving very useful.

I couldn't wait to tear open the plastic seal, take out one and throw it into my mouth, light it with my magical fire, and take a deep drag.

Slowly exhaling a smoke ring, Constantine said to Natasha, "Go and gather all the soldiers who need their weapons replaced, and remember to make sure they have their weapons with them."

After saying that, Constantine took out another one and put it in his mouth.

Natasha didn't ask Constantine why; she turned and did as he said. At this moment on the battlefield, not a single second could be wasted.

The battlefield assembly was incredibly fast; before Constantine could even finish his cigarette, Natasha informed him that the assembly was complete.

The soldiers assembled behind the tanks, which allowed them to both block damage from the tanks and launch a rapid attack at the first sign of an attack.

Constantine climbed onto the tank, opened his coat, and rummaged through it.

He pulled out a staff from inside his clothes, its head resembling a twisted tree root, with leather wrapped around its handle.

No one on the scene uttered a single exclamation about Constantine's actions. At this moment, the winged knights were all swinging their halberds and spinning around in large circles. Constantine's little trick was not impressive at all.

Constantine raised the court mage's staff high in his right hand, and a surge of blue energy instantly enveloped the entire staff, filling it with blue light.

Then, Constantine, holding the staff, drew an arc above his head with his right hand, and the blue energy on the staff began to shatter with the movement, turning into pale blue specks of light that floated towards the weapons in the hands of the people in front of him.

[Repair: A lost magic from the ancient golden magical kingdom of Ulasil. It can repair weapons and armor, as well as weapons whose durability has reached 0. While its effect may seem unremarkable, it is actually a form of arcane magic. Light is time; the knowledge of reversing it should be forbidden.]

Blue light spots merged into everyone's weapons, and some quick-reacting soldiers began to touch the gun barrels that were already so hot from continuous firing that they were about to break down.

"Alright, the weapons are repaired and can be used again."

Ignoring the soldiers' reactions, Constantine jumped off the tank and walked deeper into the wall Ash had built. He saw a retail store there, where there should be cigarettes, and he was going to go and get some.

Constantine's every action and movement was clearly visible to the satellites in the sky, and anyone with a strategic mindset began to instruct their subordinates to make contact with Constantine.

The ability to repair weapons on the front lines makes it an unparalleled weapon in terms of firepower projection across a wide battlefield.

With Constantine using this magical ability, it means that for a period of time, various weapons will no longer have to worry about overheating and becoming unusable.

Normally, any long-range firepower projection requires pre-setting and budgeting the lifespan of the cannon barrel, but with Constantine, this limitation on firepower output can be omitted.

As long as there's no mushroom war, in any conventional battlefield, whoever has Constantine is invincible.

Pierce looked at the satellite imagery before him and listened as Fury relayed the intelligence Natasha had sent.

Not only Fury's face grew darker, but Pierce's face also grew darker.

Pierce, his face darkening, said to Fury, "You just said your men had a conflict with this mage?"

Fury could only force himself to say, "Yes, but he's a very responsible agent, he..."

Before Fury could finish explaining, Pierce interrupted him.

"The current situation is that we cannot lose this magician who can change the course of the battlefield, and we must do everything in our power to win him over."

Pierce's words were somewhat harsh and angry; anyone who offended such a precious person would be made to die before the sun rose again.

But since he was Fury's subordinate, Pierce couldn't very well offend him. He said, "Tell your agent to stop cleaning toilets. From now on, he'll clean the septic tanks, and he'll be in charge of the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. plumbing!"

Originally, Coulson might not have been assigned to cleaning toilets by Fury, but Pierce's expression and tone at this moment sealed Coulson's future.

Fury had no choice but to accept the orders from his superiors.

'Looks like I'll have to put up with Coulson for a while. I'll just let him come back after he's finished cleaning up.'

Fury, comforting himself, allowed Coulson to fall into the abyss.

## Chapter 74: Battlefield Atmosphere Team

Thanks to the Winged Knight's attack and Constantine's detonation of the bomb, the man in black abandoned his plan to have the orcs charge onto the beach.

At this moment, the number of orcs showed no sign of decreasing in everyone's eyes. The orcs on the outer edges were arranged more densely, and the densely packed orcs blocked the field of vision on the battlefield.

Ash took the tablet handed to her by the ghost and, using the satellite's observation view, saw the orcs in the center surrounding the man in black and beginning some kind of sacrificial ritual.

Knowing that we need to stop any enemy from doing what they want, Ash directed the tanks to tentatively bombard the central area.

A 120mm howitzer exploded in the heart of the orcish sacrificial ceremony. But this did nothing to stop the ceremony.

The orcs continued the ritual methodically, trampling over the shattered flesh and blood, with the missing members being filled by orcs on the periphery.

Gradually, the orcs on the outer edges began to perform the same ritualistic acts, forming a larger ritual circle around the center.

The only heavy firepower unit on site was the tank; the planes had returned to the airport to resupply and were still on their way. Manpower alone was insufficient to break through the outer orc defenses.

Even the most powerful winged knight among the orcs, as soon as he lands and begins his spinning slash, will be met with fearless attacks from the orcs, who will then cover his body with their attacks.

This relentless, suicidal defense withstood every attack from the Winged Knights.

Ash tapped the communicator in her hand and said into it, "Director Pierce, did you see that? If we don't get backup soon, we're done for!"

"I have already arranged for elite S.H.I.E.L.D. combat personnel to go to your location. They have already arrived over your area."

As Pierce answered, several visually cloaked aircraft with dihedral wings deactivated their cloaking and appeared before the crowd.

The Quinjet, a special piece of equipment from S.H.I.E.L.D., can fly, swim, and fight stealthily; it seems to be capable of anything.

A person wearing a short-sleeved combat suit and holding two weapons jumped out of the plane in a superhero landing posture before the plane had even come to a stable stop.

“Brock Rumlow, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, leave the rest to me.”

Brock Rumlow, also known as Crossbones, led his men and charged forward as soon as his squad assembled.

"Hey, hey! Wait a minute."

Before Ash could stop Rumlow, he saw Rumlow charge into the orcs, wielding a longsword crackling with electricity in each hand.

Without even blinking, Langmulo swiftly cut down two orcs standing on the outermost edge of the defense, then charged at the tall orc among them.

The guy Rumlow chose happened to be the kind of pangolin orc who could withstand a full-power .338mm machine gun round.

He simultaneously slashed at the orc's neck with both swords, attempting to decapitate him.

However, the blade was blocked by the orc's rough, hard skin, and for some reason, the skin seemed to isolate the electrical energy from the blade.

The orc smiled maliciously, grabbed Rumlow's hand, and swung him around.

The orc, who learned Hulk's Reversal technique without a teacher, is now the future Loki.

With a thud, Rumlow was slammed onto the ice sheet. Still conscious, Rumlow pulled a flashbang from his pocket and smashed it into the orc's head.

The intense stimulation caused the orc, who was already swinging wildly, to lose his bearings instantly. He released his grip on Rumlow's hand and rubbed his eyes.

Following the trajectory of the orc's throw, Rumlow returned to the beach in front of Ash.

Two people were directed to dig Rumlow out of the sand. Fortunately, they could still feel his life force, and they quickly sent him to the rear for treatment.

Without Rumlow leading the team, the so-called elite S.H.I.E.L.D. squad was quickly overwhelmed by the Orcs and eventually disappeared into the mouths of some Orc.

Ash tapped the communicator again and tentatively asked, "Director Pierce, where is your elite squad? The atmosphere team you sent has been wiped out!"

Watching Rumlow charge forward in the satellite video and then quickly get himself killed, Pierce didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Ash's organization had defended itself without suffering any losses, he initially assumed that these orcs were simply numerous.

Rumlow shared the same view, and then he went up only to be thrown back by the elite monster.

Ash's words made everyone else in the channel hold back their laughter. Everyone in the channel was professionally trained and guaranteed not to laugh unless they couldn't help it.

Sure enough, Ross and Sheffield were the first to burst into laughter. They were already unhappy about S.H.I.E.L.D. taking a cut of their funding, and now they could seize the opportunity to mock these guys.

The chat channel was instantly filled with Ross and Sheffield's laughter, and even some other people couldn't resist joining in.

"enough!"

Pierce started to get angry, but his anger had no effect on the two bigwigs in the military. However, his roar stopped everyone else in the channel from participating.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. will redeploy other combat personnel to the battlefield."

After saying that, Pierce pushed back his chair and left the communication device, and Fury took his place to rejoin the channel.

You absolutely must not leave the channel at this moment. Leaving means you can no longer participate in this operation and will not be eligible to share in the post-war benefits.

Fury, who took over Pierce's job, tried to regain control of the narrative and explained the background of the incident to everyone.

"Gentlemen, let's stop this pointless exchange. The most important thing now is to resolve the immediate problem. As far as I know, this incident was caused by a man in black who is trying to destroy the world, and..."

Before Fury could finish speaking, Ross, who looked several years younger, interrupted him with a laugh.

"Save your breath, kid. We know more than you do. The Pentagon Building even redeployed its troops based on this kind of intelligence a long time ago. They've also sent notices to all the major violent institutions. You haven't even read those documents!"

As soon as Ross finished speaking, he and Sheffield began mocking Fury on the channel, with laughter and cheers rising and falling, making Fury's face even gloomier.

Fury opened the document Ross had mentioned on the console. It clearly recorded the origin of the Dark Tower, the Men in Black's objectives, and the person they needed to protect—a little boy named Jack.

Fury's expression darkened further upon seeing the document's signature, for the document clearly stated at the bottom: 'This report was provided by the individual involved, Gunslinger Roland. Compiled and summarized by writer Cassel. Defense contractor Tony Stark has confirmed the authenticity of the intelligence.'

The fact that Howard Stark's child was currently on the battlefield made Fury consider whether to report it to Carter, one of the founders.

After thinking it over, Fury put down the phone. After all, Carter was recuperating in England at the moment, and he shouldn't disturb her.

Not long after, the sound in the channel gradually subsided, because the second wave of air support firepower had arrived.

## Chapter 75: The Departure of Air Support

Unlike the first wave of gunships and Super Hornets, the second wave of air support focused more on suppressing heavy ground fire.

Leading the pack was the A-10 attack aircraft, nicknamed the Warthog, which was the first to roar.

It was named Warthog because of its 30mm GAU-8 seven-barrel Gatling gun, which sounds like a wild boar roaring when it's fired up.

First, they fired a short burst at the orc horde to correct their course deviation, and then the three A-10 attack aircraft charged toward the enemy from three different directions.

Then we saw the three attack aircraft begin their dive, their twin turbofan engines providing unparalleled power to the slender fuselage.
