1264 Battle of Latveria
Time goes back a little, and the location is in Latveria.
Rumlow and his group are on their way to Latveria with Cyborg.
"So Wayne has already discussed the cooperation with Dr. Doom in advance?"
Rumlow said with a cigarette in his mouth.
He actually prefers cigars, but he only has the last cigar left.
So he had to light a cigarette for himself.
"I don't think so, although I dare not say that I know Wayne very well.
But he was in such a hurry when he came to us, obviously he didn't have time to meet Dr. Doom.
And... Dr. Doom doesn't seem to be willing to discuss these things with Wayne."
Luke said casually.
Dr. Doom's strength is very strong, at least comparable to the level of legend.
And Dr. Doom's arrogance is well known.
"If I remember correctly, Dr. Doom and Tony seem to have some friendship?"
Rumlow asked in surprise.
"I've heard Tony talk about this before.
They were roommates in college, but Tony obviously doesn't like living in the dormitory.
He obviously spends more nights outside with women who like him or his wealth than in the dormitory.
If you think Dr. Doom's plan to swap bodies with Tony and replace Tony as a playboy is a friendship, then I have nothing to say."
Matthew said as he hurried on his way silently.
Rumlow felt more and more headaches.
If you look at it from this perspective, Tony and Dr. Doom should be considered enemies.
"If Wayne didn't make any preparations in advance, then what did he plan to do when he asked us to deal with Dr. Doom?
Let us pin Dr. Doom to the ground and beat him up to promote this kind of cooperation?
Come on, I don't want to provoke a powerful spellcaster!
Especially now that this spellcaster seems to have become Lasma's apprentice!"
Rumlow became a little irritable.
This is normal, no matter who encounters such a thing, they will be irritable.
The combined power of several of them can indeed force Dr. Doom to surrender.
But the problem is that the sequelae of doing so are not small!
Dr. Doom is a powerful spellcaster. It is absolutely stupid to force him when you can't kill him directly.
"I think we need Vision's help?
Although I haven't seen Vision's appearance yet, there should be no need to stand completely on the opposite side of Dr. Doom, right?"
Jessica said with her head tilted.
Although she was constantly trying to get closer to Orak, she didn't abandon her brain.
"The problem is that according to the information we know, Vision should be completely on Dr. Doom's side!
Even if Vision was born with Tony's help!"
Rumlow took a deep breath.
They could already see Latveria in the distance.
The city of Latveria is more like a fortress.
So even if it is to become a training place for Nephalem spellcasters, it does not need too many repairs and defense measures.
This place itself is a fortress, although it is to face America...
"Maybe before meeting Dr. Doom, our worries are unnecessary?
After all, this is an important moment for humans to test the devil.
Although I am not familiar with Dr. Doom, his position should at least be on the side of humans, right?
Maybe it is for this reason that Wayne did not contact Dr. Doom in advance?"
Matthew said.
This argument makes more sense, at least Rumlow feels it is slightly more reliable.
"If it is to fight against the devil, I will not stand in the opposite position.
But your arrival may be to face possible attacks from the devil."
Dr. Doom's voice suddenly appeared in everyone's ears.
"Well, I knew that our arrival could not be hidden from a powerful spellcaster.
I'm just a little curious when you were listening?"
Rumlow looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Dr. Doom stood not far away in his usual metal armor and green cloak.
"I've been here since you started the discussion."
Dr. Doom was particularly calm.
It was as if he didn't care about what he heard about him and Tony.
Maybe he really didn't care.
Although he was beaten up by Stark's bodyguards because he failed to succeed.
Although he had the ability to use magic to kill those bodyguards at that time, he didn't do it.
Because his arrival was monitored.
"That means that as long as it is a plan to fight against the devil, you will at least not object.
I feel relieved to hear this news."
Rumlow said very cheerfully.
A problem that was still bothering him before suddenly disappeared, which is of course a good thing.
"But you said you want to face possible demons?"
Luke asked.
He cares more about this question.
"If Vision and that Cyborg start to lock on Ultron's movement.
Obviously Ultron will not sit and wait for death.
You don't think that the metal demons that are constantly repairing and regenerating outside Canduras are all Ultron's power, right?
Not to mention that thing is Ultron, as long as you give me the materials, I can make something similar.
And there are as many as you want! "
Dr. Doom waved his cloak and said very proudly.
He wasn't talking nonsense, he was indeed able to do this.
Although it's not as easy as Ultron, it's definitely not that troublesome.
Dr. Doom only needs to create some machines with a metal structure and the ability to move, and then just get some souls and stuff them into the body through magic.
As for issuing some orders to the soul, it was not that difficult for the original Dr. Doom.
At this time, Dr. Doom studied with Rasma for a period of time, and his ability to control the soul has also improved a lot.
"So Ultron has actually been prepared for the human plan for a long time, right?
I had my doubts before. Ultron had too many opportunities and ways to hear our discussions.
So this battle was not a surprise attack from the beginning, but a serious battle, right? "
Rumlow spit out the remaining part of his cigarette and stepped on it.
"This is the most troublesome thing about Ultron. If it were in Sanctuary, Ultron might not be able to reach the level of the Demon King at all.
After all, there is no Internet in Sanctuary to allow him to come and go without a trace.
In that environment, Ultron was just a demon more powerful than the legendary demon. "
Dr. Doom even explained it a bit.
Perhaps because of studying with Rasma, Dr. Doom's temper has improved a lot.
Of course, it could also be that he was in awe of the power of the barbarians.
Among the few people present, Steve, who had never spoken, was already a legend.
This can be seen from the fact that the shield in Steve's hand is replaced by the small buckler he originally used.
Although Dr. Doom doesn't like the pattern on the shield.
And Rumlow's power is at least close to the legendary level.
And Luke and Matthew next to them are at least elite level.
Plus a Jessica who is gradually getting closer to Orak.
Dr. Doom doesn't think it's smart for him to go to war directly. He can even say that doing so is simply stupid.
"Does this mean that after we start to restrict Ultron's ability to move freely on the Internet as planned, we must be prepared to face the devil?"
Steve finally spoke.
All he asked about were news related to the battle.
"Perhaps faster than this, don't think that the birth of Vision can be hidden from Ultron.
Although Stark and I built the firewall before Vision was born.
But if I were Ultron, I would be more concerned if I found a place that was difficult to invade.
And our abilities may not be hidden from Ultron. There is a high probability that he knows that Vision exists!
It's even inevitable. "
Dr. Doom said directly.
While they were talking, they arrived at the main entrance of Latovilla under the cover of night.
Only then did Rumlow and Steve notice that everything in La Tovilia was different from what they knew.
The original Latovilla had city walls, but they were not thick enough to allow people to line up on top of the old castles.
After all, Dr. Doom's initial defense methods relied more on high technology.
The original city wall was more focused on resisting energy impacts such as shock waves, rather than defending against physical damage.
But now the city wall of La Tovillia has become a directly capped fortress style.
The thickness is at least as thick as four lanes.
Only with Rumlow's eyesight could they see some cracks in the pure metal exterior.
This city wall obviously has some deformation and other functions.
There are even some windows that can be seen on the city wall.
The windows vary in size, with the largest one being about the size of a football.
The smaller ones are only as thick as a finger and are more like vents.
But Rumlow and the others would not think that the vents would be placed on the outward side.
"The holes you see in the Latovilian War Fortress are there to facilitate spell casting.
The entire city wall is made of a new alloy with strong energy conduction properties.
If you suffer an energy attack, the damage will be spread evenly across the entire wall.
If there are enough mages here, you can even use this energy to launch a counterattack.
I bought a lot of old-fashioned Ark reactors from Tony before, the ones the size of buttons. "
Dr. Doom introduced as he opened the city gate.
This wall was made after he and Rasma learned about it.
On the one hand, he expressed his support for the Nephalem training plan, and on the other hand, he also expressed his attitude towards Rasma.
Whether he is on the side of humans is not that important. What is important is that Dr. Doom is definitely on the opposite side of the devil!
“Well, that’s great technology.
But obviously your concerns are correct and we have to fight first. "
Rumlow sighed.
"ha!"
"Xia!"
"drink!"
Different war cries sounded at the same time!
Several barbarians are ready for battle!
Steve took out the flail, and a halo of law was already produced under his feet!
As they do so, a host of demons begin to emerge from the earth!
The metal shell reveals the identity of their creator!
These are Ultron's demons!
“Just hold on a little longer, it will take time to open the city gate.
That is of course not because the password is complex, but it is set intentionally.
I will not die easily in the hands of the devil, and I can interrupt the opening process at any time.
But the process of the weak opening the city gate may become an opportunity for the devil to break through the defense line.
Therefore, when encountering danger outside, you can choose to refuse to open the city wall inside. "
Dr. Doom was not nervous at all, and was even in the mood to explain the matter to Rumlow and the others.
“There’s not much time until dawn, it’s best to hurry up.
If the agreed time is missed, there may be dire consequences. "
Rumlow said angrily.
Wu Mian has been taken out of his hand!
Although during this time on the Holy Mountain, the ancestor Mocott still did not wake up.
But maybe this is a good thing at this time?
At least the Ancestor Spirits didn't know about Wayne's plan.
"You are not alone."
Dr. Doom said very relaxedly.
The moment he spoke, the city wall immediately changed!
A large number of gun barrels appeared along the originally bare city wall.
The muzzle also has energy-filled colors!
Latovilla devoted all its resources to the renovation of the city walls during this time.
Although the interior is intended to be a fortress, its defense capability is still only enough to withstand human weapons.
But the outer city wall has completely turned Latovilla into a strong city!
"I wonder if all the cities where humans will live in the future will look like this?"
Steve said helplessly.
He had a hard time adapting to the current human technology.
It seems that he has to adapt to the changes in the human world again.
“Latovilla’s model will not spread.
After all, only I and the trained spellcasters can create such a defense.
Different Nephalem should have different defense measures. "
Dr. Doom said with a frown.
Although no one can see his expression through his armor.
But maybe it's for this reason that Dr. Doom doesn't pay too much attention to expression control.
It's just that Dr. Doom's tone sounded like he was doubting who was the Nephalem.
He learned about Rasma but had not yet made a decision.
Whether you want to become a nephalem or not is a choice.
But it's a pity that Rathma left Latovilia for the time being, and even if he wants to become a Nephalem now, he has to wait.
"Prepare for impact!"
Steve yelled.
While they were communicating, the demons finally came into contact with them!
Rumlow, who was in the front row, directly picked up Wu Mercy and slashed with a cleave!
Wu Ming, who was in the form of a Morning Star Hammer, used the spikes directly as sharp blades to slice open the bodies of the demons at the front!
The next moment, the organization hammer fell to the ground with one strike!
Rumlow still wore the wristband of the ancestors on his hand, and the impact of this hammer spread directly towards the direction where the demons were densest!
Coupled with the blood-like lines on Rumlow's body, the demon at the front was completely crushed with just one blow!
Battle roar, blood splattered everywhere!
Matthew, who was beside Rumlow, launched a direct charge!
The mace in his hand was aimed directly at the demons like a city-breaking awl.
He has experienced the teachings of Canuck and Leiko, and the use of the violent collision skill is very correct!
The city-breaking cone transformed into a mace and Matthew rushed into the demon group, further destroying the demon formation!
And Luke jumped up directly and landed next to Matthew!
The moment Luke landed, the violent shock caused the already staggering demons to lose their ability to move!
Steve, on the other hand, was throwing the Hammer of Blessing at his side while approaching the demon!
Surrounded by the rotating hammers of blessing, Steve is as firm as a rock in the sea!
Jessica, on the other hand, walked directly into the circle of demons very casually.
The God of War's Blade is already wielding in his hand!
Every seemingly simple slash can produce huge results.
"Don't leave too far, the city gate will open soon."
Dr. Doom didn't forget to give a warning.
The energy cannons on the city wall also started bombarding!
Under the attack of several people, an open space covered with corpses immediately appeared among the demons that were densely packed like a tide.
“It will be dawn for an hour at most.
But I think your way of timing is really unreliable.
The sun rises at different times in different locations. "
Dr. Doom didn't forget to add a compliment.
"That's a secret."
Rumlow said with a laugh.
It's just that this level of demonic attack is not yet threatening!
If Ultron had really been prepared, then there definitely shouldn't have been an attack of this magnitude!
Everyone is secretly on guard.
They are both excellent warriors and need no extra reminder!
