A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 309 Tarokan invades

"For Wakanda!!!" With the Rhino cavalry as the vanguard and countless Wakanda soldiers as the rearguard, they launched a final charge against the "Imperial Stormtroopers".

"They have mastered advanced technology and weapons, and possess the rarest materials in the world, yet they are fighting the most primitive wars... Sigh, use the ultrasonic array!" Inside the army's command ship, watching the Wakandas launch their attack, Tony sighed as he issued the final battle order.

As soon as he gave the order, dozens of TIE interceptors flew in front of the Wakanda, scattered and hovering in the air, forming a pocket-shaped encirclement.

(TIE Interceptor)
After all the Wakanda troops had completely broken into the encirclement.

These modified TIE interceptors collectively unleashed a massive ultrasonic attack, engulfing the entire Wakanda force.

Not only did the vibranium weapons on all the Wakanda soldiers disintegrate, but the soldiers themselves were also affected by the ultrasonic waves, quickly collapsing to the ground and losing their ability to move.

Ultrasonic weapons are not only effective against vibranium-based weapons, but also have a high killing power against humans.

In the original Marvel timeline, both the Hulk and Tony Stark himself were attacked by this weapon.

Tony, in particular, almost died!
Ironically, both the ultrasonic weapons targeting the Hulk and Tony himself were developed by Stark Industries.

This was the second time Tony had nearly died at the hands of his own creation—the first time, of course, was in Afghanistan when he was attacked by the fake Ten Rings gang with their own weapons.

However, in this universe, the Wakandas enjoyed the same treatment that neither Hulk nor Tony did.

“No…no…no, this is impossible!” Inside the Wakanda palace, Eric, who had originally planned to “lead the army in person” but was stopped by Wakabi, was incredulous as he saw the Wakanda army so easily wiped out.

Outside the palace, the Wakandas, who were also watching the war closely, fell into a deathly silence upon seeing their proud legion annihilated.

However, the Earth Alliance's army will not stop its advance because of this!

"Tell the people behind to clean up the mess, especially the vibranium equipment, which must be strictly guarded. If it leaks out, I will hold you accountable!" Tony said to General Ross, the supreme commander of the Earth Alliance in this war.

“Of course, if anyone dares to lay a hand on me, I’ll kill him without you even having to tell me!” General Ross nodded and said.

"Now all that's blocking our way is an energy barrier. Send all the anti-gravity tanks forward and clear a path!" Tony nodded and gave the order, then looked at Abigail Brand and the "Alpha Team" behind her on the other side.

With the help of Li Wei, the Alpha esports team has now expanded from a small group of two or three to eleven players.

Besides Hawkeye Barton, who joined initially, and the five Winter Soldiers that Levi gave to S.W.O.R.D., there were also Falcon Sam Wilson, Erica, Jack Russell, Elsa Bloodstone, and Humanoid, who were people Levi had recommended at the time.

It must be said that Abigail's ability to rise to such a high position at such a young age is truly remarkable.

Li Wei only mentioned a few names, and she found all of them.

Moreover, apart from Mark Murdoch, who refused to join no matter what, everyone else joined, including a humanoid figure that Levi hadn't mentioned—this guy was partnered with Jack Russell, who was a werewolf.

(The humanoid character in the Marvel short film "The Night Werewolf")

“Once the barrier is broken, I want you to enter Wakanda immediately and capture Erik Killmonger. Any questions?” Tony asked.

“Of course, no problem!” Abigail assured her!

“Then go and get ready!” Tony nodded.

Abigail then led the Alpha Squad out of the command room, onto a private aircraft belonging to the Alpha Squad, and flew away from the command ship.

At this moment, dozens of anti-gravity tanks that had received orders also converged at the forefront of the army.

They all turned their cannons around and aimed them at the Wakan energy barrier.

The next second, dozens of powerful energy beams shot out and simultaneously struck the energy barrier surrounding Wakanda.

The incredibly sturdy energy barrier gradually crumbled under the bombardment of these beams, eventually forming a huge void.

With Tony's command, the army successfully stormed into Wakanda's homeland.

Alpha Team's aircraft rushed in immediately.

The Wakandas were plunged into despair when they saw the surging Earth Alliance army.

"The rest is up to you!" Tony sighed as he looked at Wakanda, where smoke was beginning to rise.

He felt the war was over and there was no need for him to stay.

"Don't worry, I will collect all the vibranium!" General Ross said smugly.

Tony nodded, then took out the recall scroll and prepared to return to the Alliance headquarters.

Just as he was about to tear open the scroll...

A strong tremor caused the command ship to immediately sound a sharp alarm.

“Mr. Stark, General Ross, we are under attack…” the communications officer reported.

“We’re not fools. We’ve felt the attack. Soldiers, you need to tell us where the attack is coming from!” General Ross roared.

"The attack came from... a person, a flying person!" The communications officer immediately pulled up the holographic monitoring footage, which showed a strangely dressed human floating in the air, launching an attack on the Earth Alliance's air force ships.

Of course, the Earth Alliance's air force wouldn't sit idly by and launched a counterattack.

However, the enemy's agility in the air was beyond imagination. The encirclement by several TIE fighters and the naval guns on several large ships could not hit the enemy.

Of course, this is also because the Earth Alliance army has not been established for long and has a limited number of various armed vehicles, making it unable to launch a saturation attack.

"Tony... is that guy really human?" General Ross asked Tony, watching the incredibly agile figure in the air.

“It’s a human… but not the kind of human we know!” Tony recognized the other person the moment he saw them.

Namor, the ruler of Tarokan!

Of course, Tony had never actually met the other party before, even though he had once mistakenly entered Tarocan's territory because of Levi's space tearer.

However, this did not prevent Tony from deducing the other person's identity from their appearance and abilities.

Moreover, in the distant Lake Turkana, large numbers of "little blue men" are constantly emerging from the lake and launching attacks on the Earth Alliance's army.

They were from Tarokan.

Lake Turkana is the largest lake in East Africa and the fourth largest lake in Africa, with an area of ​​6405 square kilometers, larger than the entire city of Wakanda—meaning Wakanda only encompasses a small portion of the lake. Furthermore, it is a saltwater lake. Therefore, although it is an inland lake, many believe it may be connected to the ocean, although this has never been proven.

However, it now seems that this argument is true.

Tony didn't believe that the Tarocan army had come from the sea to this lake in advance to ambush them.

Before this, Tony and the Earth Alliance's military had never paid any attention to this lake.

Unexpectedly, a large number of troops suddenly appeared here.

Caught off guard, the Earth Alliance's forces suffered considerable losses.

“General Ross, you organize the counterattack, I’ll go meet that guy!” Tony said in a deep voice. At the same time, the “Darth Vader” equipment on his body quickly changed, reverting to the appearance of the Iron Man suit—that’s the good thing about nanosuits, as long as the program is set, it can transform into anything.

"This is my duty!" General Ross immediately began to command the battle in an orderly manner.

Tony immediately flew out of the command ship and headed towards Namor.

"Stop, Namor, or I won't be so polite!" Tony warned Namor from a short distance away.

"...Human, how do you know my name?" Namor stopped upon hearing Tony's warning and looked at Tony with great surprise.

“Ha, very well, another guy who considers himself non-human… I know a lot more than you do, but the key question now is whether you know what you and your people are doing?” Tony was quite annoyed to hear Namor refer to him as a human.

Clearly, the Tarokan people, like the Inhumans, are another group that, despite being of human origin, considers themselves not to belong to humanity.

“Of course I know what I’m doing. You’re invading Wakanda’s territory for vibranium, and we’re here to stop you!” Namor said.

Of course, Namor didn't suddenly have a change of heart and inexplicably start helping Wakanda.

The real reason is that the vibranium veins in Wakanda are actually connected to the vibranium veins in Tarokan.

Wakanda was unaware of this, but Namor and the other Tarokans were well aware of it.

It doesn't matter if the Wakanda people mine it themselves, since there are only so many Wakanda people, and the amount of vibranium mined each year is very limited. Even if they continue mining for hundreds of years, they still won't be able to find Tarokan.

However, if Wakanda is defeated and the entire continent comes to mine vibranium, then sooner or later they will all be mining Tarokan.

Although Namo, as the leader of the Tarokans, was rather arrogant, he still understood the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

So when he saw that Wakanda was about to be destroyed, he finally couldn't hold back and led the Tarokans to take action.

In his view, the human kingdoms on land didn't know where Tarokan was, and even if they failed, the other side probably wouldn't know how to retaliate.

But how could Tony possibly miss his little scheme?
Levi had already told him about the connection between Wakanda and Tarokan.

So Tony only needed a moment's thought to understand why Namor had led the army into action.

"Heh, are you worried that our mining operations will threaten your Tarokan? In fact, as a rather unique underwater race on Earth, our alliance has no intention of attacking you. We even planned to establish contact with you after conquering Wakanda... It's just that you shouldn't have jumped out and opposed us at this time!" Tony sneered.

"...How did you know?" Namor's expression faltered when he heard that Tony not only knew his name, but also Tarokan's.

"Why would I know? Our alliance is now a galactic organization with a full understanding of the entire galaxy. What makes you think that a small Earth or ocean could escape our notice?" Tony said dismissively.

Namor's expression turned extremely ugly in the face of Tony's disdain.

The reason he dared to lead his troops into action was not only because he was confident in his own strength, but also because the land people did not know the location of Tarokan.

But according to Tony, the land dwellers already knew of Tarocan's existence.

His current actions may bring utter destruction to Tarokan.

For a moment, he found himself in a dilemma.

As for the claim that possessing vibranium would eliminate the fear of land dwellers... that was Namor's belief before today.

But now that the example of Wakanda is before him, he's not stupid enough to continue believing that he can fight against the land dwellers by relying on vibranium technology.

“I’m giving you a chance. Lay down your weapons and surrender with your men. I can guarantee Tarokan’s safety. However, Tarokan will be subject to the Alliance’s supervision and will have to join the Earth Alliance!” Tony issued an ultimatum to Namor.

"Can you make that decision?" Namor's expression shifted upon hearing Tony's ultimatum, and he asked.

“Of course!” Tony replied affirmatively.

“Alright… I promise you…” Namor sighed, held the trident horizontally in front of him, and slowly flew to Tony’s side, ready to surrender.

But just as he got close to Tony, Namor suddenly sprang into action, swung his trident, and stabbed fiercely at Tony.

However, to his great surprise, he missed.

Tony's figure vanished from the spot.

"How is this possible?" Namor stared wide-eyed, trying to find Tony.

“Hey, you idiot, I’m here!” Tony’s voice rang out above Namor’s head.

Namor looked up and saw Tony's hands aimed at him the instant he looked up.

An energy cannon slammed into my face.

Namor was blasted off the plane by Tony with a single shot.

It crashed heavily into the ground, creating a deep crater.

"Pah, idiot, trying to play such petty tricks on me... But I have to say, holographic technology is really useful for fooling people!" Tony spat and muttered to himself, looking at the deep crater Namor had smashed into the ground.

However, Namor's body was quite strong; he was still alive after being hit in the face by Tony.

Struggling to emerge from underground, Namor roared and prepared to retaliate against Tony.

But at that moment, several deep red magical chains emerged from his body, binding him firmly in place.

Magic: Crimson Chains of Cetorak
But it was Levi who had been notified by Tony that had arrived!
Tony had informed Levi about the appearance of Tarocan and Namor long before he came out of the command ship.
