Chapter 2003: The Dark Knight’s Plan? Awesome!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
To use a game map to ill.u.s.trate the current situation on the battlefield, in one third of the Earth’s allied forces in the rear, the enemy red dots had been completely destroyed, leaving behind a large number of green dots.
Also, the green dots were moving forward slowly but surely as they ate up the red dots.
At this rate, the allied forces would eventually gain the upper hand and slowly eat up Thanos’s ground troops.
Thanks to Luke, the king of snipe shots who never missed a shot, the attacks on the rear of the allied forces were significantly reduced.
The firepower support gradually suppressed Thanos’s ground troops, and they weren’t pushed back.
!!
A stable rear provided the Karma-Taj sorcerers a better environment to work in.
Apart from the main force that had been dispatched at the very beginning, these sorcerers never stopped opening portals and bringing in reinforcements from all over the world.
Apart from the ground troops, Wakandan fighter planes charged out of portals in the air.
A few sorcerers even worked together to open a super portal and bring in two Helicarriers.
These two Helicarriers had undergone a lot of modifications. They were much more advanced than the three versions 2.0 which Luke had destroyed. They were at least versions 4.0 or 5.0.
As soon as they entered the battlefield, the Quinjets on the Helicarriers took off, and missiles were fired nonstop. Earth’s air forces, which had been unable to hold on for much longer, stabilized once more.
In this situation, the allied forces only had an advantage to some extent, and were still far from being victorious.
On the battlefield, Tony, Steve and T’Challa sensed that things didn’t look good.
Thanos’s wars.h.i.+p was too big. Not only did it contain a lot of troops, they were all veterans of s.p.a.ce wars and had mature and efficient ground and air coordination.
In contrast, Earth’s side was made up of rookies.
Only Wakanda’s air units slightly outperformed the other party by relying on vibranium technology.
The Quinjets that had come with the Helicarriers were being lost at an astonis.h.i.+ng rate. Several of them were destroyed almost every minute.
Luke had a clearer view from the back.
According to Alfred’s calculations, before the allied ground forces completely defeated the enemy, the allied air forces would be wiped out first.
Without an aerial advantage, the allied forces would suffer a coordinated attack from the enemy, and would be routed even faster than they could defeat Thanos’s ground troops.
Thinking quickly, Luke sent a message to Scott. “Put me through to Tony and Steve.”
Stumped for a moment, Scott quickly jumped behind a destroyed tank and asked in surprise, “Tony and the others didn’t give you a communication channel?”
Knight had fought the four generals with Tony and the others just now, which was ample proof of his position. How could they keep even the communication channel a secret from him?
Luke said, “We’ve been too busy beating up people to talk about it. So, don’t waste any more time.”
Lost for words, Scott immediately contacted Tony and mentioned it.
Tony slapped his forehead. “D*mn it, I forgot about Knight.”
As soon as he said that, he was sent flying dozens of meters by Cull Oblivion’s s.h.i.+eld.
Lying among the wreckage, Tony opened a communication channel for Knight before he got up.
He raised his leg and kicked a four-armed monster who had been about to attack him. As he fired continuously, Luke’s voice rang out in his ear. “Tony, Steve, I just did some calculations. If this continues, we’ll be completely defeated in half an hour.”
Tony suddenly jumped up and raised his hand the same time as Pepper did, to send Cull Oblivion flying with one shot. The couple then blew up a small team of fliers. “What are you trying to say?”
Steve asked almost at the same time, “What’s your plan?”
The two of you really have the same mind, Luke mocked inwardly, but he immediately said, “If we kill all their senior commanders and blow up Thanos’s wars.h.i.+p, we’ll win.”
Tony: “…”
Steve: “…”
There was nothing wrong with this plan.
But the problem now is that they’re overwhelming us! Similar thoughts flashed through their minds.
Luke said, “We can’t beat them in a head-on battle. This is the only way. Or, do you have any other solutions?”
Tony didn’t say anything, but Steve agreed. “Okay, let’s do that. Who should we start with?”
The captain had survived World War II and knew that it was better to have a plan in an emergency than not.
Besides, this was a close-range battle. If they couldn’t win, they couldn’t win, unless either side wanted to take the other down with them.
But when it came to peris.h.i.+ng together, the nuclear weapons on Earth couldn’t affect Thanos’s wars.h.i.+p at all.
On the other hand, if Earth’s allied forces wanted to win, they had to be careful not to draw the attention of Thanos’s wars.h.i.+p and get everyone killed. After all, the wars.h.i.+p had the absolute advantage in technology.
Luke said, “Kill Thanos first.”
Tony: “…That’s a great idea.”
Steve said, “Okay. Tony, call Thor. I’ll get the others to help block the four generals.”
Luke said, “I’ll wait for you at Thanos’s position.”
Tony: ??? You’ve decided? Are all of you crazy?
In just a few words, those among the Avengers who had earpieces got the notification.
The people nearby called out to each other, and the superheroes started to a.s.semble.
Holding the giant blade, Thanos, who was watching the battle from a slope, s.h.i.+fted his gaze and smiled indifferently. “You finally can’t endure it anymore? Heh.”
As long as the Avengers weren’t stupid, they would come looking for him sooner or later.
He wouldn’t hide from them, since he was Thanos.
If Thanos wanted to hide, he didn’t have to come down from the beginning. He could just sit on the wars.h.i.+p and open fire.
But he didn’t want that.
Thanos felt that he would only be at ease if he personally crushed this universe, which had already lost half of its life and still wanted to restore it.
These guys who couldn’t differentiate right from wrong would die in despair.
For a moment, the situation at the front of the battlefield began to change.
All the superheroes began to surround Thanos. Thanos’s troops who were blocking their way, whether in the air or on the ground, were attacked from behind by the allied army, opening up a path for the superheroes to advance quickly.
Thor was the first to arrive.
Lightning crackled around this beer-bellied G.o.d of Thunder, and his eyes were as bright as lightning. He raised the small hammer in his hand, and it flew into the sky.
Mjölnir smashed through everything in its path.
Both fliers and soldiers on Thanos’s side were shattered by this powerful attack.
“Thanos! Give me your head!” Thor roared as he flew through the air, shaking the eardrums of nearby enemy soldiers.
Amidst the white lightning, Thor’s Stormbreaker ax swung down at Thanos’s head.
Tony, however, cursed over the comms. “D*mn it, the others aren’t in position yet.”
As he spoke, he suddenly sped up and lunged forward.
Apart from Strange, who was a little more vulnerable, Tony, who was wearing the Mark 85, was the fastest to arrive as backup. He had to support Thor.
Otherwise, if Thor, this meat s.h.i.+eld, was killed instantly, there would be a huge problem with their follow-up strike.
Thanos looked at Thor and murmured, “It seems Asgard here has already perished during Ragnarok?”
