The Death List Novel - Chapter 479
Chapter 479 On the Eve of War
Norway, the Scandinavian Mountains-a glacial peak that was supposed to reflect dazzling sunlight and be covered in snow-now have several discordant black spots.
“Grandpa Dean, why did you cancel the mission? Didn’t you say a week ago that the mission we took over was very important?” A girl in a red dress asked doubtfully.
At this moment, on this flat peak, which was less than a dozen square meters in radius, there were one old, four young, and five humans. The old man was dressed in a gray robe. His long silver hair was scattered behind him. He wore an ancient mage’s pointed leather brim hat and had a long silver beard.
He should be very old, but his face was red and smooth, and his back was straight. Even though the cold wind on the summit blew the grey robe to the point of making a hunting sound, the old man did not seem to feel the slightest bit cold. In the cold wind mixed with snowflakes, he was like an old and sturdy cliff pine.
Hearing the red-clothed girl’s question, he did not speak immediately. His gaze was somewhat solemn as he looked at the bottom of the mountain peak. Through the overlapping mountains, a sparse expanse of buildings was scattered among the cliffs on the hillside.
This was Green College, which had been rebuilt from the Convent School more than a hundred years ago. Most of the people who had dealt with Green College thought that it was on the continent of Europe, but few knew that this Hunter’s College, which specialized in hunting evil spirits and dark creatures, was actually based in the mountains of Scandinavia.
Apart from the old man, the others were four young girls dressed in red, white, black, and yellow. If Qin Lun and Grant were here, they would immediately recognize three of them. They were dressed very similar to the fairy tales they had met in the last World War II.
The only difference was that the red, white, and black girls were slightly different from the little red cap, Snow White, and Black Queen they had met before. It seemed that they weren’t the three fairy tales girls of the past.
“Closing the new Evil Spirit Time Gate is indeed a very important task!” After a long moment of silence, the old man finally explained, “If there weren’t some emergencies, the council wouldn’t have called you back.”
“Principal, what exactly is going on?” The girls looked at each other in surprise. They could feel the old dean’s slightly heavy heart. This was the first time they had seen this kind old man who seemed to never be moved by anything since they entered the academy.
“I’m getting old. I’m always a little sentimental. Don’t worry, this matter has nothing to do with you.” The old dean shook his head and smiled. The worry on his face had dissipated. “I called you all back because the academy’s defenses are insufficient. I need you to stay here with me for the next period of time!”
‘”The Academy’s defensive capabilities are insufficient?” The expressions on the faces of the girls became even more strange. The girl in the white princess dress frowned slightly. “Speaking of which, it seems that I really didn’t see Professor Liv and the others … Director, do you think the emergency situation is related to the fairy tale girl group of the previous generation?”
“Haha, sometimes seeing you kids grow up is like seeing Liv and the others from before!” ‘”This matter has something to do with Professor Liv and the others. Originally, I was going there as well. However, the timing is too unlucky. Most of the professors in the academy have missions outside. Once Liv and the others leave, there will be no one to guard the academy, so I can only call you back.” The old dean smiled happily.
“Professor Liv, are they in danger?” The girls looked at each other and couldn’t help but ask.
‘”Haha, don’t worry! Liv and Elaine are the fairy tale girls of the previous generation. After all these years, their use of superpowers has become perfect. Any two of them can defeat me. Besides, the academy has hired a batch of superhuman mercenaries temporarily. There shouldn’t be any problem!”
The old dean turned around and looked at the south. His words were deep and firm, but there was still a trace of worry in the depths of his pupils.
…
“Hey, Tony, why don’t you get a private jet? I feel like my bone marrow is freezing!”
Above the Atlantic Ocean, there was a ball of flying objects spewing out white flames. Upon closer inspection, the small flying object appeared to be a robot with a delta wing on its back, except that there were two other people lying on top of the apparently temporary delta wing.
“Dr. Bruce, my private plane is under Nick’s surveillance. It’s impossible for me to leave the United States. That one-eyed black-skinned monster has no intention of letting us participate in this battle plan!” The robot let out a strange teasing sound.
“Black-skinned monster? Tony, this is racial discrimination. Nick heard it and will not let you off lightly.” Dr. Bruce shrugged his shoulders helplessly. He began to regret working with this child.
“Well, I admit there’s some ambiguity in that, but he won’t let us off if we sneak into London like this!” Iron Man rolled his eyes in the tin can and said nonchalantly, “Also … Doctor, do you remember who dragged me out of the warm vacation villa?”
“I’m doing this for my old friend!” Dr. Bruce rubbed his nose, which was so cold that he could no longer feel anything. He looked at his companion, who had been silent for a long time, on the other side of the wing.
“Sorry, Bruce, Tony, I owe you one this time!” The gentle man lying on the other side of the wing remained silent for a moment before speaking softly.
“You’re welcome, old man. You’ve helped us before!” Bruce sighed. “We just hope that after this incident, you can untie your knot and relax yourself.”
The gentle middle-aged man remained silent. His face was somewhat haggard, but the flames that had already been ignited in the depths of his pupils were burning brighter and brighter. The hatred radiance contained within caused his two companions to tremble slightly.
In fact, the Avengers, led by Captain America, did not rush out after receiving news that their mortal enemy was about to show up in London. These people were very smart, most of them were geniuses from their respective fields. After learning about the tragedy in Washington, many people were shocked to realize that this could be an enemy plot.
With the coordination of SHIELD Director Nick and Captain America, they only planned to send some superhumans to London, while the others stayed at home and stood by to prevent the enemy from diverting the tigers away from the mountains and launching another terrorist attack in other large cities in the United States.
The vanguard to London was led by Captain America and several superhuman SHIELD employees, including Natasha Romanov, the Black Widow, and Clyde Barton, the Hawkeye. Although their numbers weren’t large, they were carrying a super weapon and a mercenary force that had just contributed to the tragedy in Washington. Their combat strength wasn’t too bad.
As for SHIELD Director Nick Frey, he stayed behind to guard the country with Spider-Man Peter Parker, Iron Man Tony Stark, Hulk, and the Fantastic Four. Once the enemies were confirmed to have attacked London on a large scale, they would immediately board warships to support Captain America and the others.
SHIELD’s latest type of aircraft carrier has been completely destroyed in the Washington tragedy, however, SHIELD and previously built small flying battleships. It only takes two or three hours to fly across the Atlantic from the west coast of the United States to London.
However, the plan couldn’t keep up with the change. After Hulk, Dr. Bruce Banner, and an old friend found Tony, Iron Man had no choice but to hide it from Nick and quietly take them to London to fight.
As Bruce said, the old friend had been of great help to them, and they could not refuse the request.
Bruce’s Hulk bloodline was based on this old friend’s bloodline ability. He was able to slowly suppress the tyrannical factors in the Hulk’s body. Much of the credit was due to this old friend’s guidance.
As for Tony Stark, I don’t know much about this old friend. However, his father, Stark Sr., the former leader of the Stark Group, had received a lot of care from this old friend.
Even if his father paid off his debts, Iron Man could not refuse his old friend’s request to go to London to participate in the war. Of course, with Tony Stark’s leapfrogging personality, he probably couldn’t have asked for more.
Their old friend, like Captain America, was a superhuman who survived World War II. However, his original camp belonged to the Third Empire. However, for some reason, he later joined the Alliance Army.
He was the original Aryan Ark scientist and biochemical giant, Leo Robert, who had a grudge against Qin Lun for killing his wife!
…
“Qin Lun, Major Montana wants us to go to the bridge!” Grant brought Rice through the door.
“Oh, are we going to start?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up.
‘”Yes, the Red Skull has sent a message from the United States. It has been several days since the agents who entered SHIELD saw Captain America and the others. Looks like Fatty’s plan to scare the grass and scare the snakes has worked. There should be some big fish that will take the bait!” Grant rubbed his hands excitedly.
Three days ago, they were back on the Zeppelin flying warship hovering over the Atlantic Ocean, waiting for the invasion of London. Now that the enemy had set out, the next step could begin.
“Our mission is almost halfway through. If we don’t start, we’ll have to act alone!” Les pouted.
“By the way, the major just said that an old friend of ours has just arrived. Let’s go meet him!” Grant smiled and said, “I wonder if it’s the red skull or the big bat of Weidenbaylor!”
Under the lead of the guards, Qin Lun and the others quickly entered the bridge. As soon as they entered the bridge, Kieran and Grant’s gaze gathered on a person beside the Montana major.
“Mrs. Monica, I never thought it would be you!” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows slightly and walked towards the lady beside the major in surprise. The major didn’t lie to them. This was an old friend who hadn’t been masked for a long time.
