2112 Dramatic Turnaround, Attacking the Enemy
In the chat group, the emojis and exclamations that had been flooding the screen paused.
But two seconds later, the tycoon was showered with praise again, as if nobody had seen what Ivan said.
What a joke! Although Tony had a foul temper and an acidic tongue, he got along well with Donnie, the tech turtle.
Sometimes, when it came to certain workshop things, the tycoon would wave his hand and directly give Donnie key processing machines and raw materials.
When Donnie, who was obsessed with research, was short of money, the tycoon would lend him some credit points from time to time.
Of course, these credit points still had to be paid back; the members of the Bat Squad tacitly followed the custom of not randomly accepting credit points from anyone.
Even ordinary friends tried not to borrow money; naturally, there had to be a clear account of the hard currency between superheroes.
In comparison, Ivan still owed the Ursa Minor members 2,400 credit points — 2,000 was the original loan, 400 was interest.
Ursa Minor weren’t scamming Ivan; this was just the regular 10% annual interest.
Everybody knew that Ivan was extravagant when it came to research; unlike Donnie, who could rely on Tony as a patron, they didn’t make things difficult for him.
If Tony were another Avenger, Ursa Minor would at least comfort Ivan verbally.
But Knight was clearly closer to Tony than Ivan was.
It was too difficult for everyone to argue with a rich patron for the sake of this guy, who borrowed money everywhere.
Putting aside a certain debtor, whom the youngsters willfully ignored, the situation on the battlefield finally started to change.
After the appearance of Luke, Tony and the numerous robots that were clearly loaded with atypical gear, Thanos mobilized his generals.
The others were unfamiliar with them, but Luke was very familiar with the couple, Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight.
Without opponents with similar strength to tie them down, Luke and Tony could practically run amok on the battlefield, and ordinary combat units on Thanos’s side could only be pressed to the ground.
Even if they couldn’t kill all the regular combat units, they could disrupt the rhythm of battle and turn the tables.
The superheroes at that moment amplified the kills on the battlefield, but they needed the cooperation of their own troops.
That was why Luke had come up with a bunch of low-grade fighter planes and battleships.
If the small band of superheroes charged forward on their own, just the four-armed monsters would be enough to keep them occupied.
Of course, Luke was an exception.
If it wasn’t for a top boss like Thanos, Luke, Thor and Dr. Banner could wipe out Thanos’s army on their own — provided that the other party didn’t run.
Luke and Tony were going to force Thanos to gradually use his full strength; the best would be if he entered the battlefield himself.
Otherwise, they would have to carry out Plan X, which carried the most risk, and attack Thanos’s warship.
Plan X naturally meant that the chances of victory were unclear.
As soon as the couple appeared, they chased Luke and Tony and attacked nonstop.
In 2023, the couple were forced to fight on the ground, and were finally turned to dust by Luke.
At that moment, they were relying on their armor to chase Luke and Tony in the air, and weren’t at a disadvantage in terms of speed.
Many cannon fodder fighter planes fired at them as they passed by, but were cut apart and destroyed by the weapons in the couple’s hands. There was basically nothing to stop them.
Luke glanced at Corvus Glaive, who was chasing him, and curled his lip. You’re chasing me with a close-range weapon? Do you think you’re Thor? Can you just wave your weapon around, and it has its own magic attack?
For now, he didn’t want to kill this guy too quickly, to prevent Thanos from becoming vigilant and sending all his troops out to first destroy Wakanda.
So, ignoring Corvus Glaive’s pursuit, Luke charged out of the protective shield.
On the ground, Thanos’s army had turned into a small number of four-armed monsters and vehicles, as well as a large number of heavy infantry soldiers.
As Luke flew dozens of meters above the heads of these ordinary soldiers, the two Gatling guns in his hands suddenly sped up.
At this distance, Luke could hit anyone with a regular pistol.
Given the speed of the energy bullets, this was no different from hitting the enemy in the head.
Thanos’s ground troops exploded like ants.
Behind him, Corvus Glaive’s expression was dark as he brandished the double-headed longsword in his hand and cut apart all the fighter planes that were in his way.
However, Corvus Glaive held a slightly more special position among the four generals.
Not only did he have his wife, Proxima Midnight, to back him up, he was also very smart.
Ebony Maw was akin to Thanos’s personal manager, while Cull Oblivion’s brain seemed to have been sent running by his body, and he was as stupid as a rock.
So, among the four, Corvus Glaive was the highest-ranking military commander.
Unable to catch up with Luke, he thought for a moment before immediately giving an order.
A group of air and ground combat units immediately gathered in his direction and attacked the center of Wakanda.
These troops also received temporary reinforcements from Thanos’s army around them. They quickly pulled away from any other clashes and fired wildly in front of Corvus Glaive.
Earth’s allied forces immediately counterattacked from all directions.
A big worm battleship in the air was quickly smashed to pieces by the concentrated attack, and hundreds of fighter planes exploded.
The number of casualties among the four-armed monsters and the heavy infantry on the ground skyrocketed, and almost 100 ground vehicles were wrecked.
But under this cover, Corvus Glaive successfully approached Wakanda.
Raising an eyebrow, Luke suddenly drew a big arc in the air and turned the Gatling guns around.
Biubiubiu!
Proxima Midnight was clashing with Tony in the air as the energy cannon in her hand fired nonstop.
Suddenly, she saw an orange light flash in her peripheral vision.
She subconsciously glanced at it, and her gray face turned a little dark.
1,000 meters away, a black figure fired two energy Gatling guns at her.
Proxima Midnight only had time to shout “Ah!” before she was sent flying by the energy bullets.
What made her even angrier was that Luke had no intention of giving her a chance to catch her breath. As he drew closer, the Gatling guns bombarded her nonstop, as if he wanted to turn her into dust.
Corvus Glaive, who had been paying attention to Luke, watched helplessly as his wife was sent flying like a ball higher and further away.
He bellowed in anger, but didn’t return to help. Instead, he sped up and charged at Wakanda.
But Thanos’s troops close to Proxima Midnight had already launched a concentrated attack on Luke, instantly flooding a large area around him.
Such a concentrated attack from the energy cannons was basically like using dynamite to demolish the area.
Luke couldn’t dodge the attack completely. He was instantly rocked by the huge impact and couldn’t chase after Proxima Midnight.
Proxima Midnight successfully escaped after spinning more than 1,000 meters through the air. Even though light blue blood dripped from her mouth, she retreated without a sound.
