Djinn starting from Marvel

Chapter 236 War Mad Civilization-Asgard

When the black dwarf died, the dust settled and the drama came to an end.

Connors carried Johnson on his back and followed his father out of the corridor.

When leaving, Dad kept looking back, hoping to see Constantine's figure reappear.

Unfortunately, when the area where the battle took place turned into lightless darkness and chaos due to space distortion, Constantine never appeared again.

"Dad, where are we going?" Connors asked softly.

"Stay in this safe place and look for food. I guess we will have to spend the rest of our lives here." Dad sighed and said softly.

The space in this place is particularly strange, and Dad can't locate where he was before he entered.

"Okay, when I was exploring the map, I found some boxes that seemed to appear randomly. Sometimes there is food in them, but I don't know if they can be eaten." Connors said, wagging his tail.

"Just give it a try then. If there is more than just food, maybe I can build a survivor base. It is estimated that someone will accidentally enter here in the future." Dad said accepting the reality and no longer looking back.

This time, for Dad and the others, it was undoubtedly a tragic victory.

Lin Zhengying sacrificed himself, but his soul was not left behind.

Zhang Wei sacrificed himself, and his soul disappeared together with Lu Xiaobu's character card.

Liu Jianming died in battle, with no bones left, and not even a tomb.

Constantine and Black Dwarf died together, at least Dad couldn't see any chance of Constantine surviving.

Johnson was seriously injured and dying. He had to use a dog charm to survive. He might be in a vegetative state for the rest of his life.

Connors used an overdose of lizard serum and may face many unknown side effects after surviving.

Dad's own body and bones clearly feel much worse than before, and he may not know when he will die.

But no matter what, victory was won, and their efforts and accidents created this strange super-scale monster.

With this super-scale ghost story around, the ghost stories from the outside world will gradually be attracted, so that the normal human world can be a little more peaceful, which can be regarded as a side saving of the world.

At the same time, in the Milky Way, under the control of Ebony Maw, the Chitauri fleet was at full speed, almost without any modifications, and rushed straight towards the earth.

Heimdall, the guardian of Asgard, also discovered various traces of the fleet. Although the Ebony Maw continued to cover the movement of the fleet, no cover was perfect, not to mention that the action of covering itself was a trace.

However, it turned out that Asgard could not provide any powerful and effective response at present.

Odin is still sleeping, Thor is still in exile, and Loki is frantically searching for all kinds of information about Hela. In short, there is no leader in Asgard now.

If the target of the Chitauri is Asgard, then through special regulations in front of the station, a temporary command center can be set up. Although Frigga does not understand large-scale military warfare, she has the status and prestige as a mascot It's enough to stabilize military morale.

But after Heimdall observed it many times, he was certain that those guys were targeting the Earth, and now a problem arose.

There is no similar clause in the strategic defense treaty signed by the Ancient One and Odin hundreds of years ago. After all, the Chitauri are not regarded as a civilization in the universe. They are simply considered a terrorist organization.

A terrorist organization's attack on Earth is not an event that can trigger a defense treaty between the two sides. Regardless of the strength of the Chitauri, this is what the treaty stipulates.

In the absence of a leader, no one dares to take the initiative to send troops to support the earth.

The possibility of causing great losses to oneself is only one of the reasons. The main reason is whether this move will cause any misunderstandings.

Asgard can sometimes exile some troops to the earth through the Rainbow Bridge, but the prerequisite is that it has been discussed with the Ancient One, and it has never been heard of exiling an army. Such an action may easily cause misunderstandings among allies. .

It would make sense if the Chitauri actually attacked in the end, but if the Chitauri gave up the attack, they would not be able to clean themselves up by jumping into the Yellow River.

Furthermore, due to the slumber of Odin, the highest military commander, the highest leader of civilization, and the most powerful combat power, Asgard's defense is also at a low point, and the current army must focus on defense.

After all, Asgard has many enemies. The dark elves, frost giants and other civilizations of the nine realms are waiting to avenge the blood feud left by Asgard's conquest of the nine realms.

"So...we're just going to watch like this?!" Schiff looked at the Asgardian generals at the discussion with some dissatisfaction.

"It's not about watching, I just need to find a more reasonable way to participate in this matter." The general tried to smooth things over, but now he didn't dare to express his position anyway.

Whether you support or not support, as long as you explain clearly, you may be liquidated afterwards. In short, the more you do, the more mistakes you make. If you don't do it, you won't make mistakes.

This is the problem with the Asgardian system. Because Odin is too strong, has lived too long, and has experienced the suppression of rebellions during the Hela period, the decision-making power of major events has never been given to the people below.

It’s not like everyone is Thor, the prince and the unofficial next king. Thor was just sentenced to exile for burying a bodyguard, or he was exiled to the earth, safe and sound.

Not to mention sending away an entire Guards-level unit, even if the regular troops suffered serious casualties, they would probably die at the hands of Odin.

"More reasonable? I think you want to delay it until everything is over!" Shiv said angrily. It's not that she has deep feelings for the earth, but that Thor is on the earth now.

No one paid attention to Shiv at the meeting. Shiv became even more angry and slammed the table hard, "You generals, can't you be a little more responsible?! Even I am not as good as you!"

The general glanced at Shiv and wanted to laugh in his heart. The default queen is here to say responsibility. Who will bear the consequences? As a queen, you will be exiled to the earth at most. You can just go to Thor. What should we do?

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Shiv took a deep breath and looked at the others, "Okay, don't say anything, then give me an army and I will go to Earth! I will be responsible for all consequences!"

The general stretched out a hand and said, "May I ask, Ms. Schiff, is there an order to mobilize troops? Is there an order signed by the God King? Which troops will be transferred specifically? What grade of weapons and equipment will be brought? In what form will the expedition be carried out? What’s the flag? How are the logistics going to be handled?”

Shiv was speechless. She didn't understand the military, and she didn't know how to proceed with the whole process.

In addition to personal strength, Schiff has been trained in the direction of internal affairs. This is Asgard's natural division of labor. Frigga is like this. All military affairs are under the control of Odin. Frigga is generally responsible for internal construction and education. , resource reserves and other matters.

"Um..." Shiv frowned, thought for a long time, and started to answer stumblingly, "You can transfer the reserve army, any one will do. The weapons and equipment are commonly used. If you go on an expedition, use the Rainbow Bridge. Just say peace with the flag and name. Earth's joint military exercise, logistics... The Earth side should be responsible for it. As for the troop deployment order, I'll go find the queen right away!"

The general wanted to laugh in his heart, but almost couldn't hold it in anymore. Except for the idea of ​​a joint military exercise, which was interesting, everything else was nonsense, and the joint military exercise had to be replied to Gu Yi before it could be used.

The mages of the earth are not dead. Those mages are quite full of martial virtues.

"In this case, you first ask the queen for troop deployment orders, and then we can continue the discussion." The general opened the door and saw off the guests.

Schiff glared at the general and turned to leave the meeting room. She felt that she was out of tune with the people in the meeting and that these people were targeting her.

After Shiv left, the general changed his initial casual look and stood up to look at the others.

"Now pass my order. The entire army will enter a level three alert state. The range of activities of the Ranger team will be expanded by 30%. The information exchange time between the intelligence department and the Guardian will be shortened to once every ten minutes."

"The first and second standing armies are ready for battle to prevent sneak attacks from dark elves and frost giants. Contact the mage unit and request maintenance of the teleportation equipment in the domain in advance. Provide a list of accompanying mages. Warning weapons are switched to pure energy weapons. Starships are warmed up. , the military station defense barrier switches to the pre-trigger state..."

The general arranged his work in an orderly manner, maximizing Asgard's defense capabilities within his own authority.

After finishing his arrangement, the general paused for two seconds, "In addition, mobilize 20 teams from each of the 1st, 3rd and 9th reserve forces to carry basic combat equipment on the planet, and each person will carry three units of equipment resources. Assemble Standby."

The general felt that there was a high probability that Frigga would not be out of her mind and agree to Schiff's application, but if it happened, he had to be prepared.

Frigga's prestige in Asgard is not comparable to that of Schiff. If Frigga were banging the table here today, the general would at best keep persuading him. If Frigga made up his mind, he would really have to prepare to send troops, at least A standing army was drawn.

After all, when Asgard's conquest of the Nine Realms was seriously hindered and there was serious internal strife due to Hela, it was Frigga who shocked the chaotic Asgard in the absence of Odin and turned Asgard away from The economy is back on the brink of collapse.

To put it bluntly, most of Asgard's senior leaders and generals don't have a very good impression of Thor, Loki, and Sif.

Usually I am just trapped in identity issues, so I don't show it.

Just like Thor's forced attack on the Frost Giants' lair, tens of thousands of guardsmen were killed, and a lot of equipment was lost. The battle was ineffective, and the situation between the two parties that had eased slightly almost collapsed.

The military has seen the largest wave of retirements in hundreds of years. Who wants to lose their lives and honor with such a brainless guy?

At that time, a joint letter from more than twenty senior generals and tens of thousands of soldiers' retirement letters were placed on Odin's desk. These letters were part of the reason for Thor's final exile.

It's really hard not to be exiled. Prince Thor's popularity among the people of Asgard has been completely destroyed by him. He can recover it with some punishment. If nothing happened, Asgard would be in chaos.

Asgard advocates bravery and the pursuit of honor, but it does not advocate brainlessness and chasing death. Odin threw Thor to the earth. In addition to letting the Ancient One and the earth's environment educate Thor, he also asked Thor to perform meritorious services. mean.

When Odin was alive, Thor could still hold his position no matter how bad he was. Odin was afraid that he would die. In this state, Thor would have to be overthrown by the Asgardians.

In the palace, after hearing what Shiv said, Frigga motioned for her to sit down first.

"Come to me after a while and learn some serious government affairs." Frigga thought for a while and then said. She didn't know how to evaluate Schiff. She acted like a joke.

"Ah?" Shiv was a little reluctant, "Aren't you talking about sending troops to protect Thor now?"

"I'm not in charge of the military, and I can't give you a troop deployment order. That violates the rules and basic procedures." Frigga sighed, and Shiv didn't know if he had been with Thor for a long time and was taken there. , How could a person who used to be quite smart become like this?

"But! Thor!"

"Sif!" Frigga looked at Sif seriously, "Thor is my son, and I want him to be safe more than anyone else!"

"Whether we send troops or not, Thor is definitely the safest group of people on the earth. In addition, I told you, don't underestimate the earth, don't underestimate the Ancient One!"

Sif's lips moved, and she didn't dare to stab Frigga in front of her, "But... we have to do something..."

Frigga had a headache, she couldn't explain it, and she really wanted to exile this person too.

"In this way, you and the three warriors will take the equipment and go to the earth." Frigga took out a letter. "If you meet the Ancient One or someone from the Mages Association, give them the letter."

"Yes!" Shiv took the letter and was barely satisfied.

"Go, I will talk to Heimdall and ask him to give you permission to use the Rainbow Bridge." Frigga waved to Sif.

Sif picked up the things and turned to leave. Frigga knocked on the table. The spell came instantly and went directly to the conference room.

The general was planning the defense line in front of the three-dimensional star map, checking for leaks and filling gaps. After sensing Frigga's fluctuation, he turned around and stood at attention, "Queen!"

Frigga's shadow nodded, signaling to the general that there was no need to be too polite, "Tell me about the general situation of that fleet. It doesn't need to be too detailed. Just give me an idea."

"Judging from the current intelligence, the combat effectiveness of that fleet is equivalent to that of our first standing army, one of the 16 brigades. If we want to fight a war of annihilation in the galaxy, it is expected that two standing armies will be able to encircle and suppress more than % of it. However, the opponent may have demon-level combat power, so there is a large error in the assessment of combat power." The general described it in the simplest way.

"What do you think of Midgard's winning rate?" Frigga continued to ask.

"Regardless of the combat power of the devil, the Mage Association, and the situation of civil strife, based on the current technological situation of Midgard, if it is a landing, the victory rate is more than 70%. If it is a space battle, the victory rate is about 30%. Midgard We can drag those guys to death," the general said.

"What if you consider it?"

"I don't think Midgard will lose unless all the Ancient One and the Mages Association are dead." The general said decisively, "It's just a matter of the size of the loss."

"I understand. You continue to be prepared. In addition, in the name of Asgard, call Midgard and politely ask if you need our help." Frigga said, feeling that Asgard should do something The Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Diplomatic matters cannot always be handled this way. Under normal circumstances, if Frigga doesn't care about it, whoever is involved will take care of it.

It is said that in the past when Odin was in his heyday, diplomacy would first speak with fists, and then the highest combat power of both sides would be discussed. But now with the decline of Odin and the gradual recovery of other civilizations in the Nine Realms, this extremely primitive diplomacy seems to be unacceptable. What a perfect fit.

However...it is difficult to establish diplomatic channels. How many civilizations are willing to establish stable diplomacy with Asgard? Asgard's reputation is not very good in the universe. After all, it was once a war-mad civilization.
