Shadow of the Beautiful World

At dawn, a plane quietly entered the skies over the Nordic region.

At this time, there is less than an hour before the sun rises, but in this extremely high latitude area, the sky is still as dark as ink, especially after entering the no man's land in the northern part of the Scandinavian peninsula, the entire The world became more and more quiet.

On this smooth-flying plane, a group of people are making the final preparations before the battle.

Merlin gave Fury a guarantee, and this was the first official battle of the new organization, the Aegis Demon Hunters, so Merlin still attached great importance to this battle.

He was sitting on the sofa in the cabin, watching the companions in front of him adapting to the new equipment.

This thing is a bit too retro.

As one of the Aegis demon hunters, Gartler moved his arms and legs awkwardly. He was wearing a set of white combat armor, which was very similar to medieval armor. The overall edges and corners were sharp and full of power.

Its appearance is very retro, and it is shaped like a full-body plate armor to make it extremely defensive, but its internal technological level is not low.

The designers of a.i.m installed small power devices at the joints of this set of armor, so that the user will not be dragged down by the weight of the armor itself when moving, and there is also a force field generator inside the armor, which can, when necessary, Creates an energy shield for the user.

Wearing it feels like a medieval knight.

Amidst the rattle of mechanical collisions, Gartler walked around the cabin wearing the armor like a robot. And this exaggerated attire also made Prisoner No. 021017, Talon's master hacker Miss Sombra, look at him frequently.

And this sledgehammer.

Gatler bent down, and raised the heavy and huge two-handed warhammer amidst the sound of gears colliding.

This is the attack weapon that comes with this set of armor. Its shape is as exaggerated as the set of armor itself, and it is very heavy. Its length reaches 1.7 meters. With the help of the built-in device of the power armor, Gattler can easily carry it rise.

This thing is not just as simple as an exaggerated and scary shape, one side of its hammer head is shaped into a round hammer head suitable for bombardment, but on the other side of the hammer head, it is a jet device similar to a rocket.

This is also a high-tech weapon. Merlin could already imagine how violent the rocket hammer would be when it hit the enemy's head in a jet state.

Don't the bear demon hunters like the sense of security brought by heavy armor?

Merlin held his own magic book to read, and said casually:

I found you the strongest and heaviest armor I could find, what else are you dissatisfied with?

That's right.

Gatler glanced at the silver-white steel battle helmet that was on hand, and said:

But it just feels a little too exaggerated, you know, I don't really like such ostentatious things, we are secret agents, it's better for us to keep a low profile.

He looked at the huge and heavy armor on his body, and said:

Well, it would be great to remove all the artistic decoration, reduce the volume and paint it in black. What do you think?

You can go to the logistics department to order this yourself.

Merlin says:

Furry is organizing scientists to reverse-reduce the manufacturing skills of this armor. Maybe after a while, you will be able to get your own power armor.

After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the people behind him.

The three generals under his command are sitting at the back of the cabin, sorting out their equipment.

Coulson was holding a heavy pulse gun in his hand, and he wore an orange tactical goggle on his eyes, which was also an individual weapon system contributed by a.i.m. Coulson was reading the instruction manual there.

Sharon is also wearing a suit of armor, which is two circles smaller than Gattler's armor, like light armor, but this armor has wings, movable swept wings, and behind the armor there are Lots of weapon mods that can be equipped.

Sharon was also reading the instruction manual, and there were several equipment boxes in front of her, all of which were weapons and equipment that came with this armor.

As for Melinda, her new gear is relatively simple.

Two white pistols were spinning in her hands, and beside her was a blue, oddly shaped, drone-like thing. It was a small climate controller that could be used in a short time Create large-scale low temperature or even rapid freezing within a specific range.

This is also a product of a.i.m's research.

click

With a soft sound, Natasha, who was sitting across from Merlin, pressed some button, and the goggles that were originally worn on her forehead, which resembled the compound eyes of a spider, suddenly opened and closed on her eyes.

Natasha gave an exclamation of interest, and said:

360° field of view monitoring with no dead angle, and it also comes with thermal imaging and supporting aiming functions. This stuff is pretty cool.

After finishing speaking, she picked up the sniper rifle at her feet, and the muzzle kept changing its shape under her control, changing from the sniper form to the assault rifle's strafing form very quickly.

This is the equipment of the Black Claw mercenary Widowmaker, which was borrowed by Merlin this time.

Can you sell this to me?

After another soft click, Natasha's goggles refolded, revealing her beautiful face. She clapped the high-tech rifle in her hand and said to Merlin:

Make a price, I bought it.

It's not mine.

Merlin said without raising his head:

We just borrowed it, but Miss Emily's sentence is at least 170 years, so I think she might not be in a hurry to ask you for her weapon.

Take it and use it, remember to send it back when you get tired of playing.

After speaking, Merlin glanced at Agent Patton who was sitting next to Natasha with his eyes closed and meditating. He said:

Clint, unfortunately, I don't have new equipment for you this time.

It's not necessary.

Clint was still as indifferent as ever, he clapped the tactical bow in his hand, and said:

It's enough for me to have this. The Kree are not invulnerable. As long as I shoot well enough, the traditional eyes can also be fatal.

I have always been confident in your archery.

Merlin glanced out of the porthole and said:

We're almost there, get ready.

He put away the magic book, stood up, stretched his fingers, and said to McCree who was sitting on the other side, covering his eyes with a hat:

Jessie, you will follow me in a moment. You are in charge of watching over our Miss Black Shadow. She has a very important task, and if she wants to escape, I may need you to shoot a few bullets in her legs. Hole. No problem?

ah?

McCree was awakened from his deep sleep. He glanced blankly at Merlin, then at the black figure glaring at him, then shrugged:

no problem.

traitor!

The displeased Miss Heiying scolded in a low voice:

Deathstroke will not let you go.

McCree looked at the young girl in front of him who dyed her hair a dazzling purple, and said softly:

No, I'm not a traitor, little black shadow.

Deathstroke and I have never been the same, we just parted ways now

Merlin ignored the quarrel between McCree and Sombra, he glanced around and said to the others:

I'm going to the bathroom, everyone check the equipment one last time.

He pushed the door and walked into the bathroom of the plane. After locking the door, he said softly:

Icarus, dial Flying Over the Mountain.

The communication is being transferred, and the data has been disguised, please wait a moment.

Icarus’s voice that was exactly the same as Elsa’s sounded in Merlin’s ears. After more than ten seconds of waiting, the projections of bumblebees and flying over the mountains appeared on Merlin’s lens, and they were speeding through the night in the form of cars. To Merlin's surprise, beside the two cars, there was also an unmanned blue heavy motorcycle following.

That should also be a Cybertronian, but Merlin hadn't seen it before.

Hi, Merlin.

Flying over the urn asked in a voice:

This time your communication signal is a bit strange and much more advanced than before. Have you changed your communication equipment?

Yes, flying over the mountains, I have a new, great assistant.

Merlin replied:

Of course, we can talk about this later, I need your help now. I have encountered machines from alien planets, they are dangerous, and I need your help to remotely paralyze the data center of those alien robots, can do ?

Oh, let Bumblebee answer this one.

fly over the mountain says:

It's pretty good at that.

After finishing speaking, Fei Guoshan transferred the call authority to Bumblebee, who said to Merlin in that weird, radio-cut audio voice:

I need a data interface, a channel for remote data transmission. This artificial intelligence called Icarus can barely undertake this task. But Merlin, the data signals of different civilizations often have different arrangements. It takes a certain amount of time to parse the arrangement of the data.

Well, I can understand.

Merlin looked at himself in the mirror, he stretched out his hand to brush his hair, and said softly:

how much time is required?

I'm not sure about this, but as long as it's not a mechanical creature like us, it can usually be cracked within 5 minutes.

Can.

Merlin says:

I can buy 5 minutes. You tell Icarus the specific data transmission code, and it will take the initiative to transmit the data to you in a while. Oh, by the way, the new friend around you will not introduce it to me. What? From the lines and shape of it, she's supposed to be a lady, right?

Yes.

Bumblebee said in a cheerful voice:

It is Arcee, the Cybertronian whom Fei Guoshan and I found in the ruins of Chernobyl. It was once a famous explorer and traveler in the world of Cybertron, but 75 years ago because of It accidentally fell to the earth in an accident of a group flight trek, it was injured, and it has been in a coma for these years, until Fei Guoshan and I found it and restarted it.

Arcee, come say hello to our friend Merlin!

Bumblebee called out, and the next moment, the right to call was transferred to the cool blue heavy locomotive. A female, metallic voice said to Merlin very coldly:

Hi, Merlin, I'm Arcee, I've heard the story between you and Fei Guo Shan, and I thank you for helping my compatriots. You are also my friend now.

Well, hello, Arcee, it's an honor to be your friend.

Merlin looked at the speeding unmanned blue motorcycle on the Icarus lens, and after a few seconds, he couldn't help reminding:

Arcie, I suggest that you'd better make some camouflage. As long as you close the windows of Flying Over the Mountain and Bumblebee, no one will be able to notice their anomalies. Speeding, it is easy to attract some unnecessary attention.”

oh?

Arcee replied:

Pretend, is that so?

At the same time as it asked this question, under Merlin's gaze, a virtual image of the rider was quickly created on the blue motorcycle using stereoscopic projection.

It was a slender female rider wearing a black leather jacket and a helmet, looking heroic.

If Merlin remembers correctly, this image should be taken from the movie The Bourne, which was just released this year. Merlin has also seen that movie. In my eyes, the stories constructed by those actors are too inconsistent with the lives of the agents.

For ordinary agents, such a story is too exciting.

But for an agent like Merlin, that kind of story is too plain.

Arcee was still controlling the virtual projection, and waved her hand towards the sky, her movements were lifelike and seamless.

Right, that is it.

Merlin praised:

You Cybertronians are always eye-opening.

Bang, bang

There was a knock on the door outside the bathroom. Merlin reached out and touched Icarus, temporarily ending the chat with the Cybertronians. When he opened the door, he saw Garrett in heavy armor with his arms folded, standing at the door.

The old cowboy winked at Merlin and said:

I haven't come out for so long, I didn't expect you to have such a problem at a young age.

Speak nonsense.

Merlin snorted, he ignored Gartler's ridicule, he said:

Is it almost there?

Well, there are still 3 kilometers away from the destination, and the signal from your eyeless friend is just below us

It's time to airborne, Merlin.

The guy moved his fingers, and amidst the rattling sound of the metal armor, he said with some expectation:

Stop wasting time, let's kick those Kerry bastards!

very good!

Merlin pushed his glasses, and a line of signs representing remote data connection connection appeared on Icarus's lens, which represented that he had established a temporary data connection with the bumblebee. He said to the agent soldiers who stood up in front of him:

8 years ago, we beat the Kree, and 8 years later, they came again, which is good, it gives us a second chance to beat them. I don't want to pass it up!

So, brothers and sisters, let's go!
