Chapter 1443: Ambush and Rescue
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Without saying a word, Hawkeye had the Quinjet hover above a road intersection and quickly got the machine guns and missiles ready to fire.
Captain America, however, slapped the b.u.t.ton to open the back door.
Natasha was surprised. “You…”
Steve ran and jumped out of the plane. “Sitting in the plane won’t help.”
Natasha immediately understood and followed him. She didn’t forget to call out to Hawkeye, “Get out of the plane once you run out of ammo.”
Hawkeye hummed in acknowledgment and looked at the images Tony had shared with him, and started to run through some calculations.
As for what Natasha was suggesting, she and Steve were pretty much thinking the same thing.
Tony had hundreds of fliers following him. As soon as this Quinjet opened fire, it would immediately be attacked.
The Quinjet wasn’t Mark armor. Given its thin sh.e.l.l, it might be blown up instantly.
So, Hawkeye only had this one chance to open fire, and then he had to immediately jump out of this iron coffin.
Just as Natasha jumped out of the plane, Tony charged over and said over the comm, “Take them down.”
Hawkeye immediately opened fire. Four missiles split into two groups and hit buildings dozens of meters away. The subsequent explosion sent chunks of concrete flying into the air.
At the same time, the autocannon fired a deadly hail of bullets.
Some of the Chitauri fliers chasing Tony smashed into the concrete chunks before cras.h.i.+ng into nearby buildings or onto the ground. The other fliers were blown up by the hail of bullets.
The fliers that had been chasing Tony suddenly turned and flew toward the Quinjet.
After releasing the firepower, Hawkeye grabbed the collapsible bow next to him and rushed out the back door.
He landed on top of a car ten meters below him before he rolled to the ground.
Despite the ache and numbness in his body, Hawkeye ran into a nearby building.
He didn’t even need to check the points on the comms to know that he had only killed ten or so fliers at most. Whether there were 80 or a hundred of them left, he couldn’t hold all of them off.
In the end, however, he had to use the fighter jet to buy Tony some time to catch his breath.
Hawkeye was fast, and so were the Chitauri fliers.
To be able to send the tyc.o.o.n running, their speed and agility weren’t bad at all. Coupled with their advantage in numbers, they were very difficult to deal with.
As soon as Hawkeye rushed into the building, the Quinjet, which was hovering in the air and firing, was. .h.i.t by dozens of plasma cannons, and crashed to the ground.
Hundreds of plasma cannons followed closely behind that, and this pitiful Quinjet was instantly blown up.
A huge shock wave pushed at him from behind. Hawkeye jumped into a corner and shouted, “Tony, are you done?”
This was a good opportunity. Dozens of fliers had temporarily gathered here to attack the Quinjet.
If Tony fired a couple of missiles at that moment, he could blow up a large number of them.
A moment ago, the tyc.o.o.n, who had just charged past the intersection, cursed inwardly.
Hawkeye had indeed done a good job, but the Chitauri soldiers weren’t stupid.
Only a small half of the Chitauri fliers had turned to focus on the Quinjet. 50 to 60 others followed Tony, giving him no chance to reload.
In such an intense aerial battle, trying to switch external add-ons might cause them to blow up.
Just as Tony was feeling annoyed, he suddenly heard a series of explosions behind him.
He turned around and saw a bunch of cars, motorcycles, bicycles, lampposts, and signs shooting out from the intersection, which blocked the pursuers for one moment.
A huge figure in black charged out from a side street as two machine guns on its shoulders fired.
It was Iron Cage King! Tony exulted and turned into another side street and slowed down.
His external add-ons that had been waiting nearby immediately arrived.
The set he was wearing directly fell off, and the second set then wrapped around him.
Less than five seconds later, it was in place, and Tony immediately flew back.
He couldn’t swallow the fact that he had been chased and beaten up for almost two minutes just now. He had to get back at whoever beat him up.
But when he returned to Park Avenue, his eyes widened.
The rampant Chitauri fliers that had been chasing him just now were being beaten up by a bunch of people.
Seven individuals in suits, including Iron Cage King, surrounded the Chitauri soldiers.
They had been lying in ambush on both sides of the street. Caught in the crossfire, this group of Chitauri soldiers instantly suffered.
The fliers exploded in the air. In less than five seconds, half of them were destroyed.
The figure in pink armor which was the closest to the Quinjet fired several missiles in pa.s.sing.
After the Quinjet blew up, more than ten of the 50 fliers had been destroyed.
After reloading and turning around, Tony killed his way back so that only one third of the fliers were left.
Now that they were being hunted down, their number was dwindling rapidly.
Tony flew back and blew up more than ten fliers. The small group of Chitauri soldiers was destroyed in less than 20 seconds.
In the special force, Mindy cheered again. “Oh, yeah, I have 75 points. Thank you, Sister Iron Cage. Thank you, Brother Ninjas.”
Iron Cage Kng didn’t say anything and simply disappeared down the street.
The order she received was to hunt down the Chitauri and protect her teammates.
She didn’t care whether or not Mindy thanked her.
Splinter simply sent back a smiley emoji
The battle was ongoing. He didn’t want his students to be complacent after killing just a few Chitauri soldiers.
However, Mindy was different. She was a young girl, and was more artless and vivacious by nature.
Besides, this plan had come about because Mindy had contacted Tony at the last minute and confirmed that he was going to pa.s.s over Park Avenue, before she gathered everyone who was nearby.
In terms of tactical ac.u.men, this girl was much better than the master and disciples.
What could Tony say? He could only say thanks and slip away.
Who was he? Tony Stark, the number one genius on Earth.
He had actually been saved by a little girl today. Telling her thanks was really too embarra.s.sing.
It wouldn’t have mattered if it had been Batman who saved him. The two of them already had a tacit understanding.
Or rather, friends wouldn’t bicker over the details.
So, even though it would have been very easy for him to become a target of bigshots at the same level, he simply helped Batman set up a rescue foundation to eliminate future issues, and never thought about getting something in return.
Not far away, Steve, Natasha and Hawkeye were all amazed.
They hadn’t even had time to do anything, and those insufferably arrogant Chitauri soldiers were finished off just like that?
