After all, the one-eyed dragon lived up to the series of lists Li Wei gave him.
In the following period, the situation in SHIELD changed dramatically, and many senior officials disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.
Then some special operations teams also launched covert operations and raided some hidden Hydra strongholds.
Their attack was swift and powerful, and although the guards in those strongholds were well-equipped and well-trained, they had almost no resistance.
The most important reason lies in the leader.
The opponent is wearing a national flag uniform and holding a blue and white star shield. He is clearly a superhero who has been famous for a long time in World War II and a symbol of the American spirit - Captain America!
Next to him, the person fighting alongside him was a man with metal arms and sharp marksmanship.
Others may not know their identities, but Hydra knows it all too well. It is Bucky, the Winter Soldier, who was brainwashed by them and has been their tool for half a century!
He didn't know when he was found by Captain America, and now he begins his revenge against Hydra!
In a secret underground stronghold, several holographic projections were having a heated discussion around a table, or in other words, blaming each other.
"It's all because of your mistake that the Winter Soldier succeeded in escaping, so we lost so many strongholds!"
"But it's impossible for the Winter Soldier to have that much information. Someone else must have leaked the secret!"
"Why didn't we know that Captain America had returned? Until he brought the Winter Soldier to us!"
"Then what did you do? Secretly sent people to rob my territory? Rob S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
The person speaking this time was Alexander Pierce, the former director of SHIELD, Nick Fury’s old superior, and the most senior Hydra lurking in SHIELD.
"What? What are you talking about? I never did this!"
But the person who replied was obviously a little guilty. As a Hydra, it would be strange if they didn't fight among themselves!
"Okay, gentlemen, calm down. Anger can't solve any problems. What we should focus on now is how to solve the problem."
The person speaking this time was a woman whose coquettishness and charm could not be concealed even by a holographic projection.
Not only was she the only woman present, she was also the person with the best attitude.
Because her power is in the Port of Madripoor in Southeast Asia, many raids by SHIELD have not affected there, so she certainly has reason to have such a good attitude.
Currently, SHIELD's main targets are still the United States and Europe. It seems that they want to clean up the internal nails first.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. is nominally formed by a coalition of countries around the world, anyone who is not a fool will know that they are heavily biased towards the United States, but it is no wonder that they have invested the most resources and manpower.
"Viper, of course you can say that, you didn't lose anything this time, it's as if they deliberately avoided you." Another Hydra leader said very dissatisfied.
Viper suddenly became furious, or pretended to be angry: "What do you mean? Do you think I was the one who informed you? What good will that do to me?"
"Okay, okay, let's not argue anymore. I believe this is not the purpose of this meeting."
John Garrett, another Hydra boss in SHIELD, couldn't help but smooth things over, because he knew that if he continued like this, today would be a waste of time, just like the meeting they had held before.
Same for several meetings.
Perhaps because there was a step up, or because they realized that this kind of quarrel was indeed pointless, the leaders of Hydra finally calmed down.
Pierce finally couldn't help but spoke first again: "So, what should we do now?"
Others may have only lost some strongholds, but in addition to suffering the heaviest losses, he is also in the greatest danger.
Not only because he is staying in SHIELD, but also because one of his generals, Agent Sitwell, disappeared unknowingly during a SHIELD mission and has not been found yet.
turn up.
Nick Fury then launched a series of raids, showing that he definitely had a lot of accurate information, and that was probably revealed by Sitwell!
Fortunately, he didn't dare to mention this matter at all, otherwise the other leaders present probably wouldn't have been so quarrelsome as now.
Their opinions will become extremely unified, that is, throw him out first to attract firepower, and then cut off his tail to survive!
And if Nick Fury continues to pursue the investigation, it is not difficult to imagine that he will find his own head sooner or later!
"Nick Fury is becoming a threat, a deadly threat, and we need to deal with him."
"And the guy who revealed the information to the other party."
"So, send Crossbones to take action?"
Crossbones, Brock Rumlow, is the captain of SHIELD's special forces team on the surface, but in fact he is also Hydra.
It's just that unlike all the Hydra leaders here, what he pursues is not money or status, his allegiance is to Hydra itself.
In other words, what he is following is actually the Red Skull, but the Red Skull was already dead before he was born.
However, due to various coincidences, he possesses good personal force and elite subordinates, and he has a relatively special status in Hydra. Although he is not the leader, he has a considerable say.
Pierce immediately categorically rejected: "No, no, Nick Fury has been staring at him very hard recently."
And what he didn't say was that if Nick Fury really wanted to deal with him, Crossbones would be able to delay it somewhat, right?
But when he thought about Crossbones' character who was only loyal to Hydra, Pierce was a little unsure. If he knew all the facts, he would probably abandon himself for the so-called "overall situation", right?
No, we must not let him know, let alone let other leaders have the opportunity to tell him!
Seeing many leaders discussing again where the intelligence information was leaked, Pierce's mind was running rapidly, and then he suddenly thought of what Agent Sitwell had discovered in New Mexico...
Although in his opinion, it was really unreliable, but throwing it out to divert the attention of the leaders would be fine...
"Viper, after the arrival of the so-called Thor, God of Thunder, we discovered something at the scene, which contains very special energy fluctuations."
"Oh? What is that?"
Viper became slightly interested. Pierce was always very stingy. Whether it was information or anything else, he rarely shared it with others. This was quite rare.
Other Hydras also paid attention to it, because they all knew what kind of person Pierce was. He regarded SHIELD as his own and would not let other leaders touch it at all.
Last time, someone among them passed through Crossbones and called the Winter Soldier without permission to raid the Osborn Group in an attempt to obtain the Green Goblin's enhanced serum.
After the failure, although Crossbones never said whose commission he accepted, Pierce was sarcastic towards all the Hydra leaders, which made their atmosphere very awkward for a while.
"It's a fragment of a black horn. My people watched helplessly as someone used it to open a space door, and then summoned countless skeletal soldiers."
Although he is a staunch materialist and does not believe that magic exists in the world, in order to achieve his goal, Pierce still made a vow to do so.
The other Hydra leaders immediately started talking, and a few people even couldn't help but reprimanded Pierce on the spot: Damn it, it took so many days for such a big thing to happen, and you're just telling us now?
But Viper did not join in, because she quickly remembered a legend that had been circulated decades ago, and she happened to have an identical horn in her hand, but she had always thought it was just a story...
"What you are talking about is the horn of Hela, the female goddess of death in Nordic mythology? The horn used by the Red Skull during World War II?"
After hearing Viper's words, the Hydra leaders who were originally talking about it all stopped in shock.
Red Skull, John Schmidt, the original leader of Hydra, the old enemy of Captain America, a complete madman.
Even though he has been dead for more than half a century, how could they, the leaders of Hydra, forget the other's deeds?
"Yes, the Red Skull once tried to send people to use blood and souls to summon the army of death in Nordic legends, but was interrupted by Captain America."
"But now, we know that his direction was not wrong. That horn can indeed summon an army of the undead. It's not a skeleton that will collapse as soon as it touches it, but a real army!"
When we were in New Mexico, although most of the undead were stopped by the dragon knight Davian, the occasional fish that slipped through the net caused heavy casualties to SHIELD agents.
Their seemingly rotten armor and bones almost completely ignore ordinary guns, and they can often kill those elite agents on the spot with just a wave of their weapons.
They are not the legendary skeletons that fall over at the first touch. No wonder even the Red Skull wanted to summon them!
Viper couldn't help but smile coquettishly: "Hehehe, I'm starting to get interested."
"But my horn is just a collection, and it doesn't have any strange energy fluctuations. Moreover, if this is magic, there must be a spell or something, right?"
At this time, a Hydra leader wearing a monocle finally couldn't help but said: "No, there is no need for any unique spell. As long as there is a death horn, plus enough blood and soul, you can open it."
Daomen."
"That's what the Red Skull did back then, and he did open that door!"
