Chapter 1342 Asking for Help
Xandar itself has great combat power, is protected by the Nova Legion, and is quite famous in the universe.
Otherwise, Star-Lord and his party would not have kept the Power Stone here.
However, in recent years, for unknown reasons, Xandar, which has always been characterized by prosperity and peace, has been plagued by disasters.
After getting the Power Stone, Ronan swung his hammer and struck a wave, exploding many spaceships.
As a result, just a few years after the peace was settled, an even larger fleet filled the orbit of Xandar...
"It's Thanos' army..."
Among the spaceships that took off to set up a defense line, the commander of the Nova Corps also had a solemn expression on his face.
Thanos' reputation is famous throughout the universe.
After replacing Odin and entering the 'fraternity' mode, he became the overlord of the universe!
He conquered everywhere and shed countless blood. Whenever he conquered a race or civilization, he would ruthlessly kill half of them.
This feature makes people feel more frightened than annihilating all enemies.
Those who survive will spread his fame.
And just when the Nova Corps was ready and had already deployed a defensive force field.
However, a personal aircraft flew in from outside space. There was only one person coming, as skinny as firewood.
It's none other than Thanos's general, Ebony Maw!
In the original book, he used the first sight to defeat Doctor Strange who possessed the time stone and captured him.
"Everyone from Xandar, I'm here to negotiate."
Ebony Throat, who came down from the aircraft, had a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't care at all that he fell into the enemy's muzzle.
"The master needs the power gems that you protect. Hand over the power gems and we will leave. Otherwise, once we launch an attack, we will definitely leave half of you alive."
After saying that, without waiting for their reply, Ebony Maw returned to the mothership in the sky.
Once Thanos's army starts to attack, it will never stop!
The previous illustrious military exploits undoubtedly put tremendous pressure on Xandar.
No matter how you look at it, they are no match for Thanos. They may survive if they hand over the gems, but they will definitely lose in the end if they don't hand over the gems!
Unlike Ronan's last attack, Ronan's own purpose was to destroy Xandar and he would try his best no matter what.
But this time Thanos just needs the Power Stone, which doesn't seem to be impossible to negotiate...
"We must not hand it over. This will fail the Guardians of the Galaxy's expectations of us!"
"Thanos took the initiative to come over to discuss. There must be a reason for the matter. Maybe they themselves have encountered some trouble!"
"But we really can't stop their army..."
"Even if we fight to the last soldier, we still can't stop the opponent..."
"..."
The appearance of Ebony Maw obviously divided Sandar into two factions.
In fact, everyone knows that with the character of the Thanos Legion, if they come out to negotiate, there must be some reason that is not conducive to the other party.
Unfortunately, even so, the size of the overwhelming army still made them feel a sense of powerlessness.
"The Infinity Stones are treasures that can destroy the world. If we hand them over, we will definitely cause greater losses, but we have no other way..."
In the end, Shandar made the decision.
But when they were about to take out the power gem, they found that the power gem had disappeared!
Soon they discovered the culprit, but it was the Guardians of the Galaxy who had stolen the Power Stone again at some point and had begun fleeing into outer space!
This reaction made the Nova Corps, which had just made the decision, breathe a sigh of relief, as if they had let go of a heavy burden.
Now it’s good, you don’t have to choose anymore!
"The Nova Corps obeys the order! Use all your strength to cover the evacuation of the Guardians of the Galaxy!"
At first, I chose to hand it over because I had no other choice. Even resistance was useless. But now, with the driving skills of the Guardians of the Galaxy, I have gained that slim hope.
For this hope, we are willing to do our best!
Faced with the escape of the Guardians of the Galaxy,
As well as the sudden all-out attack of the Nova Legion, Ebony Throat looked at the tall purple-skinned figure on the throne and couldn't help but lower his head.
He also wondered why the always strong master would give them a chance to choose this time.
Thanos stood up from his seat holding the artifact sword. He looked at the battlefield displayed on the screen with a look of disdain on his face.
"These are not our enemies. When the goal is achieved, they just need to wait patiently. I must leave enough energy to deal with the biggest trouble. But unfortunately, they did not accept my good intentions."
In the original book, Thanos should first attack the dwarves to force them to make the Infinity Gauntlet, and then start picking up the Power Stone.
However, this time, Thanos was the first to attack Xandar to obtain the Power Stone!
Obviously, because of the new pressure on a certain stock, he changed his strategy.
To be able to survive until Odin and Ancient One died one after another, Thanos had enough patience.
And his judgment of the situation is quite accurate. To his level, he has his own unique insights into destiny.
He could see the end of Odin and the Ancient One, so he chose to wait.
But this time, he had an inexplicable premonition of urgency.
The original plan seems to be facing a huge obstacle!
Therefore, he had to change his strategy, first get the power gem that would increase his strength the most, and then go find the dwarves to forge it.
In terms of Thanos' strength, there is a qualitative difference between him obtaining the Power Stone and Ronan using the Power Stone. He can directly control it with his own strength.
Anyway, there is no need for gloves to control a gem.
But I didn't expect that even this plan began to encounter obstacles.
The Guardians of the Galaxy, what a bunch of haunting bugs...
…
Although Xandar fought hard, it obviously ended in failure in the face of the overwhelming superiority of Thanos' army.
However, at the cost of half the population, they still successfully assisted the Guardians of the Galaxy in escaping the encirclement of Thanos.
With the driving skills of Star-Lord and Rocket, once they escape the encirclement, they no longer need to worry about being encircled and suppressed again.
"What should we do now?"
Rocket pointed at the container that sealed the power gem. This thing could be sold for a big price, but obviously his teammates wouldn't let him sell it.
"Why should we take this risk to get him? Xandar was almost destroyed for this."
Rocket continued to chatter, thinking it was not worth it, and felt that Xandar was being implicated.
"That was the Nova Corps' initiative to protect us from the enemy. No one knows my father better than me, and we must never let the Infinity Stones fall into his hands."
Gamora's face was full of solemnity. Although she felt very sad about what happened to the Nova Corps, she had no regrets about instigating Star-Lord to steal the Power Stone!
Through Nebula's secret contact, she already knew that Thanos had begun to launch his plan.
"Once he gets the six Infinity Stones, all he needs to do is snap his fingers to destroy half of all life in the universe, including you..."
But obviously, the other members of the Guardians of the Galaxy don't have this concept yet, and they have no idea what the meaning of the Infinity Stones is.
Star-Lord just chose to take action purely for the sake of the girl. Now that he got this hot thing and was hunted down, he began to consider seeking shelter.
"By the way, we should contact Mr. Xu Yue. He also has other gems. Our purpose must be the same."
At this time, the insect girl is the calmest. She spoke with her tentacles jumping, and then took out the communicator Xu Yue left behind...
