Chapter 155: Battle of New York (4)

“Apple, switch to sniper rifle form and use the electromagnetic cannon.” Energy weapons can’t hurt the Iron Sword Wandering Dragon, so they can only use the electromagnetic cannon. The super long gun barrel cracks from the horizontal center, and the internal tube begins to shrink. Then the energy source begins to transform into electricity, and the helmet covers the head again.

A red circular aiming cursor appeared on the head display panel. “Charging complete.” The preparations for the Apple were complete.

Wesley took direct advantage of the armor’s targeting system and aimed at the head of the Ironclad Drifter. His railgun was limited by the size of the weapon, and the projectile was small. Wesley wasn’t sure he could kill the big guy, so he needed to seize the opportunity and wait for it to speak.

The distance between the two sides was only a few hundred meters. As long as the Ironclad Wandering Dragon roared, Wesley could shoot the pellet into its body. As for the effect, it was not something he could predict.

He took careful aim, but Tony Stark’s departure caused the small aircraft to begin to pour out in large numbers. They began to attack Wesley’s position. Although they had not been hit yet, sand and stones were flying all around them.

“Roar…” With a roar, Wesley pulled the trigger. The deformed sniper rifle made an electric sound. A pellet was fired and rushed into the mouth of the Armored Wandering Dragon at lightning speed. Then there was a violent explosion inside its body. It twisted its body in the air in pain and fell straight down.

Wesley didn’t have time to see what he had achieved. “Cancel the fixed battery mode. Sniper rifle, transform into first form. Thruster activated and get out of here.” The small aircraft was already approaching him. As soon as he finished speaking, his body was hit once. He didn’t even have time to change his feet and knees back to normal before the enemy’s energy weapon hit his abdomen and he flew backward.

He was hit and fell straight toward Stark Tower. Apple responded quickly and returned to its normal form. The thrusters kicked in and Wesley flew up again. “Put away the sniper rifle. We’re going to start fighting in the open. There are too many of them coming out.” Wesley began to dodge enemy attacks as he flew up. Tony Stark had not returned yet. He could not use the sniper rifle now.

With a click, the sniper rifle was retracted to his right back. Wesley began to accelerate, and the energy gun of the Jazz Armoured Ezreal on his left arm began to fire continuously. Tony Stark wanted to get such a weapon, but only the right one was the best. Tony Stark did not have much talent in shooting, and even with J.A.R.V.I.S. assistance, he was much worse off. It was not as good as the original way of fighting.

But Wesley was different. He was a natural marksman. Like his father, he had been trained in the Assassin Brotherhood. Coupled with his own abilities, he was the best at shooting.

However, he couldn’t let Wesley rush into the enemy line like Tony Stark. Although he had Apple, he wasn’t good at fighting at such close range. Especially when he looked at the helmet display panel, he would feel dizzy. This was a physical problem that was purely a matter of habit.

Wesley could not rush into the enemy’s formation, so he adopted Ezreal’s usual tactic of ‘flying a kite’. Although he did not have Icefist in his hand, his armor allowed him to fly all the time, and in reverse. Not only could he avoid the enemy’s attacks, but he could also keep fighting back as long as he was not surrounded. It would not be difficult to surround him in the sky.

“Wesley, what’s the situation?” Tony Stark rushed into the sky again and joined the battle. The large group of Chitari who were chasing Wesley split into two.

“The situation is not optimistic. There are too many of them. We can only fight in the open now. Have they arrived?” Wesley retreated as he fought.

“We’ll be there soon. And the evacuation below is almost complete. Should we descend?”

“You can descend. I can do it from a high altitude. I can use my shooting skills. I’m too passive down there.” Wesley’s shooting skills are not good in the city, especially in a city with tall buildings. It’s really inconvenient to fly backward. It’s not as comfortable as flying in the sky, and his ability to fly and dodge is average.

To put it bluntly, Wesley had no talent for flying. It was not as if everything would be fine with a smart system. In that case, Tony Stark would not be the only Iron Man.

Wesley peeked around Stark Tower. There was basically no one left, so now this could be the main battlefield.

“Wesley, what’s the situation?” Steve Rogers contacted Wesley over the radio.

Wesley responded quickly. “You guys are already here?”

“We’re here. It’s under Stark Tower now.”

“Okay, Tony, lure the pursuers behind you. You guys deal with that part first. I’ll hold off the airborne for a while. Captain Steve Rogers is in charge.”

With a loud roar, Bruce Banner had turned into a Hulk and all the members of the Avengers Alliance had gathered. Because the evacuation was early, the people near Stark Tower were evacuated the earliest, so they could fight without worry and not be restrained to protect the citizens.

Tony Stark was flying around Stark Tower with a large number of enemy troops behind him. After hearing Wesley’s words, he hurriedly approached the reinforcements.

Steve Rogers began to command the battle. “Hawkeye go to the high point and occupy the highest point to support. Saul, you go and summon thunder and lightning to help Wesley get rid of the pursuers behind him. Natasha and I will help Stark here. Hulk… smash hard.”

After assigning the tasks in an instant, Saul took off and sent Hawkeye to a tall building. The Hulk roared and went out, climbing along the outer wall of the building. His goal was the scattered aliens.

Tony Stark approached with his pursuers. First, Hawkeye began to attack from a high position. His superb archery skills were not to be missed. Every arrow would explode an aircraft, and some would even kill two birds with one stone. The worst thing about flying at high speed was that there were obstacles. If the aircraft in front of him exploded, it was very likely that it would affect the surroundings. Steve Rogers’ shield was ready and he threw it with all his might. The shield began to eject in the enemy formation, and Natasha Romanov’s pair of pistols kept shooting.

Pistols were not very powerful, and they did limited damage to aliens. It was difficult to achieve an effect unless you concentrated on a fatal position. It was better than nothing. However, she really did not have any effective means of attack. Wesley did not quite understand why she could not bring an assault rifle.
