Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 348 Drone Brawl

As the flames subsided, Wanda also removed the energy shield she had released.

However, no one breathed a sigh of relief at the moment because they had survived the ordeal.

Because, at the same time as the explosion, a piercing alarm also reached everyone's ears.

The alarms sounding almost simultaneously were clearly not caused by an explosion by a single person.

But
Air raid sirens blared throughout Sokovia, alerting residents to evacuate immediately and be aware of the impending attack.

"They detected the anomaly, so they launched an attack ahead of schedule? These greenskins aren't completely hopeless."

"However," Green Bull glanced at the ground, which was charred black by the explosion, and a few black lines appeared on his forehead.

"What kind of lousy security measures are these at the airports in France?!"

With things having developed to this point, Green Bull could easily understand.

This must be from the Skrulls, who may have already vaguely realized that their sabotage operation might be thwarted.

However, since Sokovia could directly access the spies' memories, no flaws were revealed in their replies and reports.

That's why they brought in a human bomb for a final test.

Green Bull was certain that the spy who had just been killed must have been wearing an extremely precise tracking device.

If he simply deviated from the normal route midway, it might not be a problem.

But they were taken directly to a corner of the airport and remained there for so long without changing their location.

The Skrulls, realizing something was wrong, launched their attack immediately while simultaneously detonating the bomb.

'Hopefully, that person wasn't wearing any listening devices; otherwise, our conversation just now might have revealed a lot more information.'

He was mentally recalling the conversation he might have just made, but in reality, Green Bull wasn't particularly nervous about the sudden alarm.

It's not just because Sokovia has already made preparations for meeting the Skrulls as scheduled tomorrow.

more importantly.
"It's already started~"

Green Bull and the others looked up.

In the sky above Sokovia, a pale blue energy shield, seemingly half-covering the entire country, was rapidly closing in at a speed visible to the naked eye.

That's right, this is the 'Celestial Energy Shield System' that Luca originally obtained from Wakanda.

In fact, of all the vibranium technologies that Luca acquired, the first to be implemented and the one that consumed the most vibranium resources was this super-large energy shield.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Luca piloted the Boxer Gundam and shattered Wakanda's energy shield with a single arrow.

In reality, aside from its excessive energy consumption, this thing's basic defensive capabilities are still almost overwhelming compared to current Earth's technological weapons.

And coincidentally, Sokovia, which has been building 'bioreactors' ever since the [Yuri base vehicle] landed, now has no shortage of electricity.

In fact, since Sokovia doesn't maintain its camouflage shield like Wakanda does in daily life, the cost of activating its protective shield during wartime is negligible to Sokovia.

At the very moment that almost transparent energy shield closed.

"Boom boom boom~"

Several explosions rang out on Sokovia's energy shield.

Immediately afterwards, similar explosions began to occur almost continuously.

The Sokovian citizens who were heading towards the shelter looked up and thought it was as if countless fireworks were exploding in the sky. In fact, only a few of these continuous explosions were secondary explosions caused by missile attacks intercepted by the shield.

The smaller sparks were actually fireworks created by the 'small meteorites' falling from the sky and hitting the shield.

Of course, if someone had been watching these 'small meteorites' before the shield exploded upon impact, they could have spotted them.

Each of these 'small meteorites' is actually a Stark drone launched directly from satellite orbit and landing.

However, these drones were originally supposed to land at a certain altitude before popping open the metal shell that encased them and transforming into drone attack mode.

However, due to the obstruction of the Sokovia Shield, it was directly damaged by the impact before it could even pop out in mid-air.

Of course, the space-deployment drones produced by Stark are ultimately controlled remotely by Friday, an artificial intelligence.

After suffering significant losses due to the initial failed launch, these drones quickly modified their landing procedures.

Some drones landed directly outside the range of the Sokovia shield.

Many other drones simply adjusted the height at which they detached from their shells.

Before it could even hit the shield, it transformed into its battle form and launched an attack on the energy shield in front of it.

Nothing more.

If these drones were to actually land in cities, they could potentially play a significant role against ordinary military personnel or unarmed civilians.

While causing destruction, it will inevitably lead to chaos.

However, with the drones currently being blocked, their twin-barreled cannons failed to even make a splash when they attacked Sokovia's energy shield.

More importantly, Sokovia, under Luca's control, will not be like Wakanda, which simply activates an energy shield and obediently withstands enemy attacks without retaliating.

In fact, at the same time as the enemy's offensive arrived, countless seemingly insignificant ordinary grounds within the city of Sokovia were also affected.

Similarly, cracks appeared, releasing a large number of drones that rose into the air.

At the same time, this applies not only to these underground storage facilities hidden in the city.

Core factories, military fortresses, municipal buildings, and more small and medium-sized drones are also rapidly following suit.

It's worth noting that drones have now become an integral part of Sokovia, permeating every corner of the city.

Urban surveillance, express delivery, auxiliary police force, and security protection.

Apart from drones used for food delivery and package delivery, most of these drones are equipped with impressive weaponry.

In addition, there are the stockpiles in those factories prepared for the dimensional war.

In an instant, the number of friendly drones, which far exceeded the number of incoming drones by more than ten times, completely blocked out the sky.

After several special area channels were opened on the energy shield, these drones were released for combat.

In the blink of an eye, the green ion decomposition rays completely engulfed the 'outdated' machine gun drones that Stark had created.

Even after the Skrulls attacked as the second wave, and the subsequent few aircraft arrived on the battlefield.

Upon seeing the overwhelming enemy drones in front of them, they immediately abandoned their original bombing plan.

Although they were all large bomber aircraft, each one of them, under the control of the pilots, performed extremely difficult maneuvers and quickly turned around to escape the scene.
