Chapter 66, Capture the thief first and capture the king first!
A few hours later, while Lovett was enjoying dinner at Tony's house, HYDRA (correctly) issued a wanted order to all agents.
Looking at Steve's face in the photo, many of the agents who were still in the dark found it difficult to accept it.
"Impossible!" an agent shouted.
"How could the captain be a traitor!"
"But it's true, Agent!" Brock Rumlow, nicknamed "Crossbones," the captain of SHIELD's rapid response force, looked over with a serious face.
"I understand how you feel, but this is an order."
"Even if we want to find out the truth, we must first find the captain!"
"I see."
Nodding with satisfaction, Crossbones took out the communicator and answered the phone: "Mr. Pierce, the rapid response team is ready and ready to go at any time."
"Well, let's take action!" Pierce replied on the other end of the phone.
"We have found the captain's location. He is in an abandoned military camp left from World War II. Take your people and bring him back."
"clear!"
On the other side, Captain America and Natasha were moving forward carefully in the military camp. Fortunately, their worries were somewhat unnecessary. There was nothing here except some abandoned buildings and supplies. Soon they arrived deep in the military camp, where rows of weapons were piled up.
In front of a supercomputer with vintage hardware.
After a few minutes, Captain America's eyes widened in disbelief.
"So this is the truth?"
"SHIELD, it turns out that it has been infiltrated by Hydra? What have we done?!"
S.H.I.E.L.D., which was established for protection, was used by the enemy, and it was their own fault?!
"I can understand how you feel, Captain."
Natasha suddenly frowned slightly, turned her head and drew her weapon.
"But it seems we have guests coming."
The latter looked up and saw that in the dark passage, several black figures were sneaking up on them in a tactical formation. The opponent appeared to be well-trained. Unfortunately, neither of them were ordinary soldiers, and their traces could not be hidden.
"10 people, 15 people...30 people." The corners of Natasha's mouth twitched.
"Did these bastards send all the agents they could? Why so many?"
"Is this SHIELD or HYDRA?!"
But the situation will not improve with Natasha's official complaint. Even if they have the combat power of one to fight ten, when the opponent is full of elite agents and outnumbers them dozens of times, the two of them are in obvious danger.
suddenly!
boom!
Captain America suddenly threw out his vibranium shield and knocked away an agent who sneaked up behind the two of them.
"Do it!"
When people outside heard the noise, they immediately launched an attack, and a fierce exchange of fire immediately began.
One side is a large force of well-trained agents, and the other side is the official members of the superhero team. The two sides are fighting back and forth, and the situation is tense.
Crossbones arrived at the scene in such a chaotic situation.
Standing by the door of the small wing-shaped aircraft, he scratched his neck with the shotgun in his hand and tilted his head: "What's going on?"
Their quick reaction force has just received the news, why is there a fight here?
However, seeing that the captain and Natasha were about to break through successfully, Crossbones did not bother to contact Pierce to inquire about the situation and quickly left the field to provide support.
But soon, as more and more soldiers arrived, the situation suddenly became delicate.
The captain and Natasha were surrounded by hundreds of agents, fighting and retreating, relying on favorable terrain to fight back. Agents on the periphery were hiding behind bunkers, sending out soldiers to try to attack while communicating with each other.
"What's going on?!" a Hydra agent yelled.
"Isn't this our secret mission? What are you here for?"
"I still want to ask you this question!"
Crossbones looked impatient: "Mr. Pierce personally gave our quick response team the task, where did you get the information?!"
"Of course it was given by Mr. Pierce, asking us to arrest Steve secretly."
"Uh... so are we."
"Me too!"
"..."
The Hydra captains who came with their own teams looked at each other in confusion. After a while, someone tentatively asked: "Could it be that... everyone has received a mission from Mr. Pierce?"
"No, this is a trap!" Crossbones suddenly exclaimed and turned around.
But they saw the small plane they came from suddenly burst into flames, and the vehicles exploded one after another, with flames shooting into the sky.
Captain America panted and looked at Natasha, the former scratched his head.
"Do we still have reinforcements?"
The latter was silent, thought for a while and replied: "No, probably not."
"but……"
Looking at the big green-skinned humanoid fly slowly falling in the firelight, the corners of Natasha's mouth twitched.
"I think I know who did it."
Loki held the scepter in his hand and landed on the hot earth that was burned by the flames. He looked at the confused Hydra agents in front of him with their backs to him, smiling.
They knew about this long before Tony told Lovett about it.
Going back to Earth specifically to get the props is only one of the reasons. The other is for Hydra.
Being watched by Death, Lovett was restricted from even summoning his subordinates from the Sea of the Dead, and recruiting Loki was just to make it easier for him to be lazy.
So Loki knew that he had to show his worth in order to be taken seriously by the Black Earl.
So he proposed that he should transform Hydra into the first batch of troops, so that he could spread his plan of death to conquer the universe.
This time he learned the lesson from the last time and no longer suffered the consequences himself. He borrowed his invisibility spell to go straight to Huanglong and sneaked into SHIELD to find Pierce, who was in command, and controlled him with the mind scepter.
Of course, it is a mind scepter without the mind gem, a magic prop made by Lovett.
Then he used Pierce's mouth to gather the elite troops so that he could catch them all in one go.
"Loki?" Captain America's eyes widened.
"Why is he here?"
Then he came back to his senses: "Wait a minute, if he comes back, what about Thor?"
Except for Iron Man, the Avengers team still doesn't know what happened to Asgard at this moment.
Loki came but Thor didn't come. Captain America couldn't understand.
"That's not the point, Captain." Natasha reminded him.
"Although it seems that Loki led these guys to deal with us, it seems that his purpose is not us."
The current situation is troublesome enough. If Loki is added to the mix, Natasha has no chance of winning.
After hearing this, Captain America suppressed the idea of seeking Thor's help and nodded: "That's right."
"But what does he want to do?"
To this question, Loki soon gave them the answer.
After counting the number of living and dead people present, he took out a black crystal from his pocket and said calmly: "Although it is different from what was expected, the entire SHIELD's outstanding Hydra force only has a few hundred of you, but
As the first batch of test products, I think it’s barely enough.”
He muttered something in his mouth, communicated with the crystal, and pulled out black fog arrows from it.
"Oops, fire quickly!"
Although he couldn't understand what it was, Crossbones knew that they had fallen into the enemy's trap. Based on what Loki had done, he didn't think that the other party would be kind enough to let them live.
But bullets are faster, and fog is faster!
Whoosh whoosh!
A dark wind suddenly blew over the huge military camp, howling and freezing.
Looking at the soldiers who fired at him with disdain, Loki froze for an instant, grinning, the bullet pierced the phantom, and the whole person disappeared on the spot.
Then he suddenly appeared in the center of the field, mobilizing the fog that shrouded the battlefield to flow wildly in all directions, and rushed towards the soldiers.
