Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 311 The Vanguard, Rebuilt New York
Sokovia, outside the Orange Industrial Zone.

With a deafening roar of engines, two brand-new Yuri base vehicles slowly drove into a somewhat blurry, azure portal.

Following behind the two base vehicles were densely packed engineering robots, war robots, Yuri soldiers, berserker troops, and a small number of advanced combat units such as Yuri clones, war mechs, and magnetic storm tanks.

If someone were to observe carefully at this moment, they would notice that even the mech soldiers and Yuri soldiers were mostly equipped with one or two brand-new melee weapons.

There's no way around it, this is dimensional warfare.

While pursuing high efficiency in killing the enemy, minimizing one's own losses is equally important.

Of course, this does not mean that Luca has given up his long-range attack advantage.

However, only a few hellish demons have appeared on the dimensional battlefield so far. At present, these troops are mainly for protecting and assisting in the establishment of front-line bases.

In the event of a large-scale frontal conflict, whether used for attacking fortified positions or for eliminating large numbers of enemies, powerful long-range firepower remains an essential and important tool.

"It's a pity I can't personally command such a war."

Luca's face was full of regret as he watched the troops slowly step into the portal.

Luca's forces still need the assistance of Kamar-Taj mages to reach Hextech Dimension.

Even because of the spatial turbulence on Earth, Kamar-Taj sent twelve experienced mages just to maintain this portal.

Even so, it was only possible because the Ancient One was guiding them from the Hextech Dimension.

But that wasn't the reason Luca couldn't go in person.

The main point is that when others enter the Hextech Dimension, they are only slowly assimilated. If he dares to go there in his physical body, the energy of the entire Hextech Dimension will surge into his body like swallows returning to their nests.

Luca doesn't want to be tied to that 'throne' so soon.

"Don't worry, young master. I will complete the preliminary construction work of the base over there as soon as possible!"

Dunshan whispered a promise to Luca, his eyes gleaming with barely suppressed excitement.

Although Dunshan had traveled extensively around the world due to his past experience as a mercenary, and was quite knowledgeable, he gained a deeper understanding of the wonders of the world after following Luca.

But when he actually heard his young master talk about the dimensional battlefield, a war between worlds, he still couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion that lingered for a long time.

Looking at Dunshan, who was unusually calm and excited, Luca shook his head with amusement and decided to give him a few more words of advice.

"Don't get too excited. Although you were injected with Extremis Virus serum, it's mainly to increase your survivability. You don't need to do the fighting yourself; commanding and expanding the base are your job."

"If you're really interested in going up against those demons, wait until I've completely finished Pandora 2.0."

"When the time comes, I'll have Si Bei lead the second batch of troops there, and at the same time, I'll also send you a Pandora set."

Upon hearing this, Dunshan immediately suppressed the excitement on his face and solemnly assured him.

"I understand, I know what's important."

Luca nodded in agreement.

Sending Dunshan to the Dimensional Battlefield as an early-stage commander was, in fact, a move made out of necessity.

Although he had deployed a large number of customized Harlow mobile units and prepared to build a brand-new war-ready intelligent core on the front lines, entrusting all command work to Harlow's swarm intelligence still felt somewhat unreliable.

However, he didn't have many subordinates who he could completely trust and who also possessed sufficient military skills.

After much deliberation, they had no choice but to send Dunshan to the dimensional battlefield with a group of military, warfare, logistics, and scientific research talents selected from Hydra.

These people are also the only 'irreplaceable talents' in this entire unit.

So before setting off, Luca specifically instructed the biological laboratory to expedite the production of the Extremis virus and administer it to everyone to enhance their survival capabilities.

"In case of any emergency, have the accompanying monks contact me immediately. They are much more stable than the current first version of the cross-dimensional communicator."

"I've already explained the remaining base construction order to you. Alright, go!"

Watching Dunshan lead his group into the portal, Luca fell into deep thought.

'When the next team sets off, let Vision go along too. Perhaps we can use Vision as a base to build a Hell expedition team.'

'In that case, if it really comes to the last resort, we can try the effect of black light on demons!'

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, which he quickly concealed, and Luca returned to his laboratory.

However, Luca was unaware that while he thought things had calmed down on the Avengers' side, which was why he was thinking of recalling Vision, a minor trouble was quietly brewing there.

At this very moment, in a refugee camp in New York City, New York State.

Well, calling it a refugee camp isn't quite accurate.

Thanks to Stark Industries' generous investment, the refugee camp now resembles a completely new town.

However, since the original intention was to temporarily resettle people, although the facilities here are very complete, the quality of life and living environment are not very good.

In addition, there was the already large population of New York City itself, and the heavy low pressure caused by the destruction of homes and displacement.

Therefore, many capable people, or those who were originally "outsiders," left this place early on.

Of course, even so, a small number of truly wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials, who still hold assets in other states and could leave at any time, still chose to remain in the 'refugee camp'.

After all, in America, which is now a chaotic quagmire, other places may not necessarily be safer than under the protection of a group of Avengers members.

The most representative figure among them is Norman Osborn, whose own son is a member of the Avengers.

Although the destruction of New York caused great losses to Osborn's industries.

However, thanks to his son's connection with the Avengers, as well as the cooperation between Osborn Industries and Orange, Norman Osborn did not suffer a setback.

Even after learning that Stark Industries had the idea of ​​funding the rebuilding of New York, he temporarily slowed down the company's reconstruction and instead actively participated in the reconstruction work by leveraging his own network of contacts.

He constantly moves between various public welfare organizations and disaster reconstruction committees, seemingly preparing to enter the political arena.

This also meant that even Harry Osborne, his own son, sometimes wouldn't see his father for days at a time.
