Natasha opened her eyes wide. The soldiers that were nailed to the iron were actually two samurai swords. She looked back in shock and saw a familiar figure stepping on two swords and falling towards the battlefield here.
"Yutong!" Natasha exclaimed in surprise.
Yutong nodded, landed on the ground, opened her hands forward, and controlled the four swords with her mind. The swords flew independently and attacked the steel soldiers fiercely.
With his golden cape fluttering, Vision flew into the central city and tore an iron soldier in half. He whispered, "I just encountered Ultron and confined his thoughts and data to his mechanical body, but unfortunately he still escaped. We must make a quick decision and stop the brakes on this city as soon as possible."
"Ms. Yutong. Where is my godfather? Isn't he coming to join the battle?"
With a crisp clang, Tony fell back to the ground and asked Yutong.
"Not yet." Yutong shook her head. She was familiar with Kyle and looked up at the horizon. "It seems that he went to get reinforcements."
"reinforce?"
Tony was stunned for a moment. Soon, Friday, the artificial intelligence attached to his armor that replaced Jarvis, gave a pleasant female voice prompt: "Boss. There are two helicopter carriers, about 30 fighters, and helicopters approaching this city."
"Two helicopter carriers?"
Tony understood when he heard this. After all, SHIELD only had one helicopter carrier, and the other one was of course the Carl family's intermediate base.
"Here they come." Yu Tong looked up and saw a fighter plane flying over Sokovia at unabated speed. Dozens of black figures jumped out from the rear cabin of the fighter plane and dispersed towards the city of Sokovia with the help of portable hang gliders.
One of the figures that jumped down did not seem to carry any landing equipment. He fell straight down under the pull of gravity. When he got close to the ground, his body suddenly swelled up into a black humanoid monster. His big black hands grabbed the wall of the building to slow down his falling speed as he slid down.
The black humanoid monster came close to Tony, glanced at everyone, called Yutong "Boss", and spread his hands helplessly, "I say, this matter seems to be a bit serious. The big boss directly issued a call for card players in the hemisphere."
"Long time no see, Eddie." Natasha smiled. Ever since Eddie officially joined the Carl family and became the captain of an assassination organization, he had not appeared in New York for a long time.
Yu Tong said quickly: "It is indeed a bit troublesome. Let the card players here help the residents in this city evacuate first."
"No problem. But not only are we here, SHIELD reinforcements are also following and are almost here now."
Eddie grinned fiercely, and said passionately: "It's rare that everyone is here, let's have a good fight!"
Chapter 601 Demon Ace
Sokovia began to accelerate continuously, and soon it rose from a height of 100 meters to a height of 1,000 meters. Under the scorching sun, a cold wind blew through the streets and alleys.
While the Avengers and the Iron Legion were fighting fiercely in the inner city, the outer city was shaking uncontrollably, the buildings were crumbling, and the fractured layers at the edge were collapsing one after another. The local residents were fleeing everywhere, wailing and screaming as they were chased by the Iron Soldiers.
A group of residents, covered in dust and dirt, were protecting their children. When they were evacuating out of the city, they were suddenly blocked by two steel soldiers. When they saw the steel soldiers raising their hands to shoot laser cannons, the residents turned pale and rushed back, using their bodies to protect the children.
Just as the laser cannon was about to fall, at the critical moment, a crimson figure descended from the sky. With a wave of her fair hands, a ball of red mist turned into a protective shield, which just blocked and melted several laser cannons.
Wanda waved her hands again, and the red energy formed a ball of light, blasting the steel soldiers in front of her into scraps. She turned around and said to the residents on the ground: "Are you okay? Get out of here!"
"Thank you. But where should we... escape to?" a resident asked with a sad face.
Wanda was speechless. Indeed, the city had now risen to several thousand meters. No matter where they escaped, it would only slow down the time of death. There was no real way to survive or hope.
But now, this is all she can do.
While Wanda was in a trance, several steel soldiers rushed towards her, but before they got close, they were knocked to the ground by a figure at an extremely fast speed.
A strong wind carrying sand blew by, and Pierre stopped and finally appeared next to Wanda. He squinted at the surroundings, the severely damaged buildings, the inhumane attack of the Iron Soldiers, and the local residents who died while fleeing.
Pierre took a long breath and gritted his teeth, "Wanda. This is not a solution. Even if I run faster, I can't save all of them."
Wanda remained silent. She looked at the shivering girl hiding in the corner of the alley. She felt the cold despair from her and suddenly remembered her own childhood, which was dark and hopeless.
And now, I can become their hope.
"I'll save one person if I can. As long as there are people in this city, I won't leave here."
Wanda was more determined than ever. She raised her hands and as red mist lingered around her, her body floated in the air, ignoring gravity.
"There's really nothing I can do about you." Pierre shook his head helplessly, but the corners of his mouth curled up quietly. In fact, he and Wanda had the same idea.
The twins, who had never known the meaning of life, knew the true meaning of their existence from this moment.
Just as the twins were about to move, a loud horse neigh and a strange sound of galloping horses suddenly came from the sky not far away.
"What is that?" Pierre was stunned, and he and Wanda looked in the direction of the sound.
From high above the edge of Sokovia, an unknown green flame monster appeared, holding a broken axe and riding a tall horse that kicked up flames. It entered the outer city area of Sokovia and landed on the road across the street from the twins.
The Red Flame Horse cried out and dived at high speed, trampling two steel soldiers to the ground with its front hooves. The black flames from its hooves melted the steel bodies. The Green Flame Giant riding on the horse wrapped the iron chain on his wrist around the axe handle and pulled it with his arms, swinging it outward and spinning like a meat grinder on the battlefield. The steel soldiers within the attack range were instantly shattered into slag.
After clearing half of the street of enemies, the green flame giant glanced at the twins dozens of meters away, as if they were demonic monsters existing in a higher dimension, with an indescribable majesty looming over them. Wanda looked into the burning eyes, and raised her hands wrapped in red mist with great vigilance, protecting them in front of her.
Pierre's face turned pale. He quietly reached out and grabbed Wanda, ready to run away with her at any time.
However, when the Green Flame Giant saw Wanda and the corner of the card she was wearing in the chest pocket of her windbreaker, he immediately lost his hostility and rode his red flame horse to another street.
"What kind of monster is that..." Pierre let out a sigh of surprise and doubt only after the Hellfire went away.
"I don't know. As long as I know that it is not our enemy, it's enough." Wanda said as she stretched out her finger and touched it, revealing half of the demon card on the pocket of her windbreaker.
"Wanda, look."
Pierre pointed his finger, and Wanda glanced over and saw some mysterious people in the streets and alleys. They were wearing black combat uniforms and masks that concealed their faces. Some were carrying cold weapons such as swords, guns, and axes, while others were carrying high-precision sniper energy cannons.
The mysterious men in black were all very agile and nimble, using the buildings as stepping stones to jump back and forth on the ten-meter-high rooftops. Their fighting style was similar to that of special forces and ninjas, but each of them had a physique that clearly exceeded human limits. They quickly passed through the streets, not only killing the steel soldiers to the ground, but also quickly sending some stray children back to their parents.
Wanda used her ability to float outward and came to the rooftop of a twenty-meter-high building. Looking out from here, she could see that these men in black had already spread out a net to cover the outer city area, with dozens and hundreds of reinforcements deployed and organized the city residents to rush to the edge of a fault.
Outside the edge of the fault, there were two huge helicopter carriers, flying towards Sokovia from the left and the right. The left carrier had the SHIELD logo, a silver eagle with wings spread to the sky, while the right one had the totem of the Carl family, the black devil.
"It's S.H.I.E.L.D., the people from the Unnatural Office, coming to reinforce us."
Wanda's mind flashed back to the image of Kyle leaving. Apart from Kyle, who else could directly call for reinforcements from the two major forces
With a whoosh, a female figure in black came to the rooftop where Wanda was. When she saw the devil card Wanda was wearing and her beautiful face, she immediately let go of her hand on the hilt of the sword and said, "You... are Miss Wanda, right?"
"Who are you?" Wanda turned around and looked at the female in black in surprise.
"I'm still working on it, so I can't reveal my name. All you need to know is that I'm a new card player." The female card player shrugged.
Wanda blinked and muttered in confusion: "Kathu?"
The female card disciple nodded and said, "Yes, a card disciple. It is a general term for the fighting members of the Carl family. Lorna is also a card disciple. I have heard her mention you before."
“So that’s how it is…” Wanda suddenly realized.
“Okay. Let’s not talk about it for now. Anyway, you are already a member of the Karl family. There will be plenty of opportunities to see you again in the future.”
The female card disciple waved her hands and was about to jump off the building to leave, but just as she climbed over the railing, she was stopped by Wanda. She looked back in surprise and saw Wanda pointing at her nose and clarified, "I am not from the Karl family."
