Richards clutched his bald head in distress. On the television, a live broadcast showed guys shouting "Hail Hydra," using guns and weapons to suppress the people. Once people showed any signs of movement, they would be killed. The President seemed to have been imprisoned. Above the White House hung a flag with a red skull and several Tails. This was bad news; it meant that the people of Hydra had already begun to control the world. But because he was being targeted, he couldn't help at all. He was currently hiding with everyone from the school in the deep mountains, avoiding conflict with the ordinary military, but it was only a matter of time before they were discovered.
"To think, there is still more." After dealing with Zola, Howard rested for a period of time; after all, he was getting old. But he really hadn't expected that Hydra would erupt at this time. The scale exceeded his imagination. He hadn't expected that the remnants, dead for so many years, could develop into this, dragging the world into war once again.
"Artoria, are you alright!" Given this situation, Howard was very worried about Artoria's safety. He activated all his cyborgss and began to infiltrate the now chaotic New York City. Maria was also quietly watching the chaotic New York on the video. She wanted to go find her children right now, but she understood that even if she went, she might be killed, causing her husband and children pain. She could only suppress the impulse in her heart and pray for her children's safety.
"It is time. We should go out for a stroll too." Howard, clearly seeing his wife's state of mind, held Maria's hand and said. They hadn't walked into the public eye for many years. At this time, when guys as old as dust (Hydra) had the nerve to come out, then him and Maria, people who had been "dead" for many years, appearing before the world shouldn't be such an unacceptable thing, right! It was time to bid a profound farewell to their old rivals; it was either them or us.
"Dear, you..." Howard's words moved Maria deeply. He was truly the man she had chosen, so understanding of her heart. Even though the world was in chaos now, this man was willing to accompany her on an adventure. That meant she, Maria Stark, had not chosen the wrong person. The two embraced tenderly; if anyone were there, they would surely be stuffed full from these decades of public displays of affection.
"Da-da-da!" While Artoria's mom and dad were packing things to head to the battlefield, Nick Fury brought the Captain to start hunting down the Hydra members who had surfaced. The two of them were organizing the Police to resist while evacuating the suffering masses. Nick Fury had exhausted the bullets in his pistol, but he still couldn't stop the fearless attack style of the Hydra members. After taking one down, a whole group would run over; it was truly terrifying. The Captain had already gone forward to activate "Musou" mode, taking down a group, but these guys showed no signs of decreasing; instead, there were more and more of them.
"This is not the same unit." In the middle of the fight, Nick Fury noticed something strange. It didn't seem to be just the Hydra moles within S.H.I.E.L.D.; it seemed like some guys wearing World War II German uniforms had also appeared, and there were guys dressed like assassins among them too. He didn't know if they were Hydra, but since they appeared at this time, it meant their purpose for coming was not particularly good.
"It seems there are guys fishing in troubled waters." Nick Fury watched with furrowed brows. Spider-Man Peter Parker was swinging between the buildings, tying up the Hydra members on the high-rises. There was also a guy known as Captain Britain who had come to help. The tension of the battle had eased slightly, but it was still not optimistic. He didn't know how things were going on Natasha Romanoff's side. While quickly reloading his bullets, Nick Fury analyzed the situation in his mind. With the current chaotic situation, he was very worried that something might happen on Natasha Romanoff's side.
"Warrior, acknowledge if received." Since the situation had become like this, Nick Fury had no choice but to use some of his own resources. Through a special communicator, after inputting a series of secrets, he spoke to the other side. This was the codename for a secret team he had assembled, named Secret Warriors. A very promising child had joined it; this child's aptitude was quite good. He had even planned to keep the other party by his side to cultivate as one of the candidates for Director, but now, in this moment of crisis, he could only use them.
"Warrior received, please speak." A woman's voice sounded from the other side, her tone full of confidence and vitality. If Artoria had been there, she would definitely have been able to discover that the other person was Stacy, who had joined S.H.I.E.L.D. and hadn't been seen for a long time. Nick Fury didn't care about that much; he roughly described the current situation in New York and the fall of Washington, needing them to mobilize immediately.
"Understood, Director." Having received the Order, Stacy began to gather her teammates and set off for New York. After finishing all this, Nick Fury breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his nerves were still in a state of high tension. The situation was so severe that it was no longer something a single team could solve. He still had a trump card; Falcon was rushing over here. Power needed to be gathered, and there were still many things left undone.
"Many thanks to Baron Strucker and his wife for their help, and also the assistance of The Hand. We have finally taken the first step." Inside the White House, the floor was covered in bloodstains, and various broken corpses lay quietly on the ground. Pierce looked at this scene excitedly. He happily said this to the leaders of the other two Hydra factions, but when he looked at The Hand, a flash of disdain crossed his eyes. If it weren't for the fact that these guys had so few people, he wouldn't have bothered to recruit these shorties into the team. Just them, wanting to swallow up that place, Taiwanese? He didn't know where they got the nerve. Even he, with all of Hydra, might not be able to draw against those guys from the Divine Spear Bureau. Forget it, after things are over, let them be cannon fodder!
"Now is not the time to be happy. The President has already escaped, so we shouldn't be happy. We should now take advantage of the time before everyone knows this news to quickly advance our pace; otherwise, it will be very troublesome." With a gloomy face, Baron Strucker looked at the grandstanding Pierce with dissatisfaction. The battle hasn't even ended yet, what the hell are you happy about! Moreover, the biggest mistake has already been made, and instead of trying to make up for it, you call us over just to say this nonsense? He deeply doubted whether cooperating with this guy this time was the right choice.
"Indeed, but Baron, the reason I called you over is because of a somewhat difficult matter, and that is those superheroes? Because of their existence, our progress is very slow, and our losses are somewhat severe. Sending more elites is no longer of any use. Does everyone have any way to get rid of them?"
"Old fox!" As soon as these words were spoken, the leader of The Hand, Madame Gao, Madame Viper, and the Baron instantly understood the other party's meaning. This guy just wanted them to mobilize their own confidants to take care of the superheroes. But were superheroes such an easy thing to deal with? They would definitely lose some of their confidants. By that time, once they succeeded in conquering the world, the benefits they would receive would be uncertain. Furthermore, with their strength greatly damaged, they might be swallowed up by this smiling tiger in front of them, showing how venomous his intentions were.
"Mobilizing the strong ones among our subordinates is not impossible, but Mr. Alexander Pierce, shouldn't you set an example?" Madame Viper said with a smile, causing Pierce's brows to furrow. Indeed, those who could become leaders were not easy to deal with. This woman reacted really quickly; how could she counterattack so fast? He did intend to preserve his strength, but now it seemed that if he didn't bleed, it wouldn't work. This was a critical juncture; once they stopped, the backlash would come very soon.
