Chapter 238: Firepower Suppression
"Eastern Europe?"
When Steve heard the location, he was a little confused.
"How did you know there was a criminal den there at such a distance?"
"Information is globalized, you old fogey."
Tony shook his head and said, "And do you think that Stark Group has been selling arms for so many years, but it doesn't have its own intelligence network?"
Stark has several former major customers in Eastern Europe, and also has branches there.
I always know some wrong news earlier than others.
Steve lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Tony's request to modify the way of the fight.
In fact, after learning the news, even if Tony didn't say it, he would go to Eastern Europe to investigate the hideout.
"We're leaving tomorrow?"
"No, we can leave now," Tony said, "that way we can reach our destination tomorrow morning."
After that, flames spurted out from the soles of the iron armor's feet, and Tony slowly rose into the air.
"Now let's do our part," he said. "If you don't make it to Eastern Europe tomorrow, it's not my problem."
After saying that, he turned into a meteor, flew high into the sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Steve stood there, smiling bitterly and shaking his head. He was indeed Howard's son, and was the same person as his father.
Then he threw the shield in his hand, leaped up, stood on the shield, and flew into the sky.
He was very fast and soon caught up with Stark.
The two men were flying side by side, but one was flying sideways and the other was flying vertically.
"Tsk."
Tony was somewhat disappointed that Steve could catch up. He said unhappily, "Has anyone ever told you that the way you fly is like stepping on a manhole cover?"
"This is not."
Steve said, "Is it really like that? Your dad designed this shield, and he probably did reference the manhole cover."
"you--"
Tony couldn't say any more. If he continued to make fun of the shield, it would be like making fun of his own father.
He could only change the subject and ask about something that interested him.
"What kind of power did you get from the Owl School?"
Tony was indeed curious about the rewards of believing in the Owl God.
"I didn't get any power."
Steve said without hiding anything, "The power comes from this vibranium shield, which has an owl totem on it and can change the laws of physics."
"Changing the laws of physics? That's a bit too much."
Tony sneered. As a technology fanatic, he knew very well that if physics could be changed, modern science would definitely suffer a devastating blow.
He couldn't accept this at all.
"Then I'll wait and see how you change the laws of physics."
Tony threw down these words, increased the power of the flamethrower under his feet, and immediately flew out, leaving Steve far behind.
A few hours later, he reached his destination.
Sokovia in Eastern Europe.
……
Tony heard the name of Sokovia every now and then.
This country had a civil war several years ago, and both sides of the war used weapons from the Stark Group.
During the civil war, the people of Sokovia suffered untold hardships, and both sides consumed each other to the limit of their endurance.
The only winner is the Stark Group, which made a fortune from the war.
Before being kidnapped, Tony had thought that it would be nice to have more clients like this.
And now, Tony just felt that he had been a beast.
At this time, Eastern Europe has entered the snow season early. A thin layer of snow covers the ground, and sporadic snowflakes are floating in the sky.
The iron armor slowly landed, and the flames under his feet melted the snow to create an open space.
Tony was now in front of a large forest.
"let me see."
Tony opened the window interface in front of him, and information about the legendary hideout appeared in front of him.
"Has someone ever gotten lost in this forest and accidentally seen a manor that looked like a military fortress? It sounds like a plot from a horror novel."
Although Tony complained, he took this information very seriously in his heart.
The lost man was smart enough to see the fortress estate from a distance but did not approach it, which gave him a chance to escape and leave the forest.
But after he told others about this incident, not long after, this person disappeared as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
"It should have been dealt with."
Tony thought that the other party's eagerness to silence him only served to prove that something was wrong with the manor.
According to people living nearby, this forest is filled with fog all year round, and even people with a strong sense of direction will get lost if they enter it.
But this is not a problem at all for Tony.
What era is this? This naturally formed maze can only protect against ordinary people. Can it protect against satellites?
Tony didn't even need to hesitate and directly clicked on the satellite view of the area. The Stark Group has its own private satellite that can be used at any time.
He did not fly directly into the sky to observe because he was worried that there might be anti-aircraft weapons around.
Although those weapons could not do anything to him, they could easily alert the enemy.
"It turns out to be here."
Through satellite views, Tony easily found the location of the manor hidden in the forest. The location was indeed very hidden.
Jarvis was also thoughtful enough to design a route for him. With a satellite positioning system, Tony could get there with his eyes closed.
"Then let me see where you come from!"
After saying that, Tony walked straight into the forest.
……
"really!"
It didn't take Tony long to find the manor.
After a scan, all the visible and hidden firepower points came into Tony's sight.
Just as he had worried before, this area was armed to the teeth with all kinds of weapons. Once exposed to them, what they would face next would be overwhelming fire suppression.
"Fortunately, I play with intelligence."
Tony thought that his mission now was not to start a war, but to investigate the truth in this manor.
There is an invisible coating on the surface of the iron armor. Although it cannot deceive the naked eye, it can easily avoid various mechanical monitoring.
Next, you just need to sneak in without anyone noticing.
Tony certainly thought so.
Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes.
The next second after he decided on his action, a black dot appeared in the sky, then grew bigger and bigger. Immediately afterwards, all the firing points around the manor were activated, and the machine gun muzzles were extended, aiming at the uninvited guest.
Tony raised his head and saw the true face of the black spot, and he cursed unconsciously.
"Fuck..."
Not surprisingly, the growing black spot was Captain America, Steve Rogers!
……
Steve flew through the snowy sky, holding his shield in front of him with both hands, and fell to the ground like a cannonball.
The whistling of the wind in his ears, this skydiving-like feeling reminded him of the past.
The ground was right in front of him, the shield touched the bottom, the vibranium absorbed all the impact, Steve turned over and stood firmly on the ground.
"Don't move!"
Then, a shout rang in his ears. Several fully armed soldiers had already been waiting here. As soon as Steve appeared in front of them, they raised their automatic rifles and aimed at the intruder.
Countless black gun muzzles were pointed at Steve. If he made any abnormal move, the rifles would fire without hesitation.
Steve froze in place.
He observed the situation around him out of the corner of his eye.
The soldiers had formed a crossfire and there was nowhere for him to escape.
But no harm.
He dared to come in with such fanfare, having already expected to encounter such a situation.
"calm……"
As he said this, he suddenly stepped on the ground and the shield flew up from the ground and fell into his hands.
"Fire!"
The soldiers responded immediately.
Then there was a series of gunshots. Steve raised his shield instantly, and the bullets hit the shield, making a clanging sound.
After a round of bullets was fired, the soldiers saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives: under the all-round fire suppression, the enemy was completely unharmed.
"Thanks, man."
Steve said to the shield in his hand.
With the blessing of the owl totem, it is impossible for me to get hurt while holding the shield.
The shield will automatically block attacks that might harm you.
Then, without giving the soldiers any chance, Steve threw the shield hard into the air.
The round shield automatically flew out in a beautiful arc and hit a soldier's head.
The soldier groaned, fell to the ground, and there was no sound anymore.
Immediately afterwards, the shield naturally turned a corner due to the previous collision, and this time the end point of the trajectory was another soldier's head.
Ding ding dong dong, the shield kept changing direction, flying in the air, and finally returned to Steve's hands.
The moment Steve took the shield, all the soldiers fell to the ground at the same time.
Perfect clearing.
After dealing with the first batch of enemies, Steve did not let his guard down. In his daily life, he might be like a primitive man who knew nothing, but as long as he returned to the battlefield, he would be at home.
He was like a shark that could smell blood from thousands of miles away, and he observed everything on the battlefield clearly.
"Reinforcements are on the way."
Steve whispered to himself, "It will take at least three minutes for them to arrive at the scene. There is a fortress fifty meters away with two machine guns inside. There is a self-moving machine fifty steps away. I don't know it, but I am familiar with the barrel of the gun. And-"
Having said this, he suddenly stopped.
Then a smile appeared on his face, and he turned around and said, "You're here so soon?"
The person who came was Tony Stark. He was gritting his teeth and wished he could eat Steve alive.
"Do you know what you're doing?"
Tony raised his hand, aimed it at Steve, and charged his palm cannon, then fired.
Steve stood there, neither dodging nor avoiding, allowing the laser cannon to pass by his ear and then hit the fortress fifty steps away.
Accompanied by a few screams, a firing point was pulled out.
"You didn't hide?"
Tony sneered and put his hand down, "Aren't you afraid that I just wanted to attack you?"
"Of course I'm not afraid." Steve kept smiling, "Since we are fighting side by side, we must trust our comrades."
What's more, although Tony was angry just now, Steve didn't see any murderous intent in his eyes.
"I knew I couldn't understand people like you."
Tony shook his head and asked, "Why make such a big fuss? Can't we just sneak in slowly?"
"That's not necessary."
Steve said, "The tactics must be adapted to the situation. I have already observed all the firing points from the sky. Next, we just need to charge head-on."
In everyone's impression, Captain America has always been a tactical master. He has led the team and achieved countless tactical miracles.
But this is actually a misunderstanding.
Steve does have tactical command talent. For example, in Avengers 3, he could take the initiative to close the protective shield and lead his men to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Thanos' army.
But if you think that he has to use tactical means for everything, you are wrong.
When facing an equally powerful enemy, you really need to use your brain.
But when facing an opponent who is much weaker than himself, he can just push forward and it's over.
Steve threw out the shield again, and this time, the shield flew directly into the distance. Then with a bang, an automatic artillery device exploded on the spot.
The shield flew up again and rushed towards another device.
Tony learned his lesson this time. He had already made plans for those devices.
In fact, those weapons are actually products manufactured by Stark Group.
Tony originally planned to hack into the main control system and take control of these weapons, but compared with Steve's current actions, it was really inefficient.
In the blink of an eye, when the shield flew back, there were explosions all around.
Steve turned and waved at Stark, signaling him to follow quickly.
"Don't give me orders!"
Tony cursed. Steve's behavior just now was like he treated himself as his subordinate.
This made Tony extremely unhappy.
"Isn't it just fire suppression? I can do that too!"
Tony flew into the air, and the scanning system kept running. Soon, the current situation was reported back.
Steve only threw his shield once just now, and it had eliminated all the fire points on the periphery. Now Steve was shouting and charging into the manor.
Soldiers continued to gather around them, and Steve ran with his body bent, holding his shield in front of him and charging forward while staring at the fire.
It's like a bull out of control.
"It's crazy."
Tony flew in the air, continuously emitting electromagnetic pulses to provide fire cover for Steve, allowing him to rush into the manor.
When Steve broke into the building, Tony didn't hesitate and flew in right after him.
……
"what happened!?"
Inside the manor, Baron Stark was roaring.
The sudden intrusion of the enemy caught him off guard.
Where did this army come from? What was its purpose? How had he been exposed?
"Mr. Baron!"
In the distance, a soldier was running towards them shouting, and Baron Stark hurried to meet him.
"How is it? Have you figured out the situation? How many people are there?"
"Two!" the soldier said tremblingly, "There are only two of them!"
"what?"
The Baron couldn't believe his ears. Just two people could break into his fortress?
An extremely ominous premonition arose in his heart.
"no!"
He suddenly realized a problem, "I have to quickly destroy the information hidden here!"
Especially the information about the Maximoff siblings and Bruce Wayne!
