MTL - Marvel: Silver Superman of Asgard-Chapter 13
Rhodes didn't respond to anyone, and then a flame exploded in his palm, heading straight into the sky of the conference venue.
The tall and majestic flames were more than ten meters high, causing everyone to fall into silence, and they were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.
The fire light shone on their faces, flickering on and off, and the scorching air ignited the south wind, causing everyone to fall into boundless fear.
"God! It's a magic soldier!" Someone screamed in horror.
After realizing Rhodes' identity, they all shrank back, for fear that Rhodes would burn them all in a fit of anger.
Rhodes didn't throw the flames at them as they imagined to punish them for their rudeness.
Instead, he ignited a pile of corpses in front of him. Under the scorching of the sun flames, these mortal corpses didn't even survive for a second. They were all burned into black ash, and then slowly dissipated into the air.
There were a lot of corpses on the ground, but there were no ashes left, which made everyone even more frightened.
"Everyone!" Rhodes roared.
Everyone trembled in fright and raised their heads slightly to look at him.
"If someone in the family dies, the body must be burned! After a while, I will sit down obediently, and I am not allowed to run around. When I get home, I will tell my slaves to gather here immediately."
"Also!" Rhodes took out a piece of cloth, "Wear this for me from now on! If a new epidemic comes, gather them all for me."
There were nearly 10,000 people in the conference hall, and no one dared to make a sound in the vast expanse, for fear of offending Rhodes and causing death.
Rhode saw that there was no objection from the crowd, so he turned on the sprayer and handed it to the Athenian soldier beside him to perform the task of spraying the vaccine.
In the conference hall, the light blue mist slowly floated over everyone, and after a while, someone exclaimed.
"My wound! It's bleeding!"
"I'm vomiting blood!"
"Black blood! It's an ominous black blood."
After making noise for a while, they calmed down again, and found that their bodies seemed to be healed, and they couldn't feel the slightest infestation of the disease.
"Did Master Shenbing save us?"
"I feel healed, it must be the spray of Master Shenbing, it is the holy medicine!"
Everyone became excited, and they knelt down in front of their seats in unison, paying respect to Rhodes as a mortal.
Seeing his people recovering from the sidelines, Forbas came to Rhodes and knelt down in gratitude.
"Your miracle saved us humble mortals, I don't know how to be grateful for your grace~" He leaned over and kissed Rhodes' shoes, and shed tears.
Rhodes patted him on the shoulder and told him to stand up, "Gather all your troops to find a frost giant named Laufey. He has blue skin, blood-red eyes, and elf long ears. Once you see him You must report to me as soon as possible."
Fobas kowtowed again and again, "Your task will be a divine order that we, the people of Athens, swore to fulfill."
The soldiers of Athens distributed the strips to the citizens. If these people were forced to wear the strips with a strong salty taste, they would definitely make a fuss for their freedom and rights.
But after seeing the miracle Rhodes showed, all of them ignored the strange smell of the cloth strips, and as if they had found a treasure, they imitated the soldiers and put them on their faces.
Chapter 20: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
The wilderness beyond the city of Athens.
A few flashes of fire suddenly flashed in the night, and an army was speeding forward in the darkness.
The soldiers wore red and white striped turbans on their heads, held a gun in one hand and a shield in the other, and looked like wolves in their eyes, looking sinister and ferocious.
In front of the army, there were two burly men who looked like giant bears, one was riding a white horse, carrying a big bow, the bow was shining in platinum, and it was very conspicuous in the dark night.
He was wearing a fleece armor, with snow-white plush around his neck, which was a bit rare in the summer night.
Another man was riding a red horse, and his blood-red skin revealed a chilling and terrifying aura in the dark night.
At his waist was a large sword with a broad blade and a blood-red pattern attached to it, which seemed to be strange-shaped characters.
Originally, such a big sword was carried on his back, but he only straddled his waist, and he could only use one hand to draw it out, making it hard to imagine how powerful he is.
"Plague, can you see the city in the distance?" asked the man on the red horse.
The plague stared into the distance, then shook his head, "Don't worry, the war is still a long way away. The people of Athens have already been infected by my virus. When we go there, we can take Athens without fighting."
The man on the red horse called War curled his lips and twisted his nose unhappily, "I really want to make a big kill, going out without a fight is really boring."
Plague smiled, "Then you should pray to Lord Tianqi not to let me use Plague, and you should use your explosive ability to kill and kill."
Zhan Zhan also laughed. Although he likes bloodthirsty killings, since he can complete the task of Lord Tianqi without any effort, he has no complaints.
Suddenly, the two of them shook their spirits at the same time, and then the horse under them felt the strangeness of the owner, and slowly stopped.
The plague suddenly looked at the war, and said with a serious expression: "Did you feel it too!"
War nodded, "Someone is watching us from a distance, and I instinctively felt it."
At this time, Rhodes on the wall of Athens could clearly see the Egyptian army marching from a distance.
Fabas next to him cowardly asked: "Master Rhodes, may I ask why you came out so late?"
He had already fallen asleep, but suddenly an Athenian soldier informed him that Rhodes had gone up the city wall. He couldn't feel at ease for a long time, so he immediately followed to the city wall.
"It's just right for you to be here." Rhodes said, pointing to the distance: "This is a plain, if someone comes to attack, what will you do?"
Fobas stomped on the ground, "We have a towering city wall and thousands of archers, so we have no problem dealing with ordinary troops."
Rhodes shook his head, he knew that the towering city walls were meaningless to the apostles of the apocalypse, especially war, a mutant who could use the explosive ability.
Once he gets close to the city wall and blows a big hole, everything will stop.
"Tomorrow morning, gather all your soldiers outside the city." Rhodes said lightly, then turned and walked down the city wall, and went back to his room to sleep.
Forbas seemed to understand half-understood, unable to figure out what Rhodes was thinking. From the time he met him, Rhodes didn't let him see through it for a single moment.
He is obviously just a young man, but he hides all his thoughts like a scheming, cunning and experienced fox.
Facing such a person is always intimidating.
One night without words, the next morning.
Rhodes brought Sig to the plains outside the city, and Forbas had already gathered troops to wait for Rhodes' dispatch.
"Sig, teach them some basic formations, so that they don't die too much when they are bait." Rhodes said lightly, and left directly after speaking.
Fobas looked at Rhode's back, and couldn't understand him even more. At this time, Sig had come in front of them.
"Listen to me! There is no life without death! Today I will let you experience hell, and then you will know what is the most correct way to survive on the battlefield!" After speaking, he took out his spear, and the tip of the spear condensed with white light. One shot went out.
"boom!"
A large pit suddenly appeared in front of the soldiers, and a few people who were close were paralyzed on the ground in fright.
"Next time, it won't be so short." Sig raised his eyebrows.
The soldiers looked at each other left and right, and then scattered in fright.
…
Rhodes came to a remote corner of the city of Athens, and then took out his communicator to issue instructions to the soldiers of Asgard.
Then, a thousand Asgardian soldiers, holding spears and wearing bronze armor, appeared in front of Rhodes in a rainbow light.
"Salute to you, my officer!" They half knelt down and lowered their heads.
These are ordinary soldiers of Asgard, not Odin's elite.
In order not to delay the progress of the search for Laufey, Rhodes did not let the Pegasus troops come to help.
He knew that if the Pegasus troop continued to search, Lau Fei would not dare to act rashly, delaying the time for him to use the ice treasure box.
"You guys have to do two things next." Rhodes raised two fingers.
"First, divide into two teams and wait here; second, after I issue instructions with flames in the sky, immediately go to the designated location and prepare to launch an attack."
"yes!"
At noon, Sieg's training was very successful. The chief guard from Asgard personally taught them to complete some basic tactics, making their formation execution more refined.
Now as long as they give instructions, they can reach the designated location within the exact time.
As a soldier, the most important thing is to obey orders, and they have already had this basic consciousness now.
Chapter 21: Battle against Egypt
Seeing that his troops could become so elite in one morning, Fobas was overjoyed.
Just as he was about to thank Rhodes and Sig, he suddenly saw a black line on the horizon in the distance.
When he took a closer look, the black line was still slowly getting bigger. Experience told him that it was a huge army attacking.
He suddenly realized that Rhodes had predicted the army's attack long ago, so he wanted to train the army.
"Master Rhodes!" He immediately ran to Rhodes who was still inspecting the troops under the city wall in a panic, "They are here, they are the troops of Egypt!"
Rhodes patted him on the shoulder, "Don't panic, everything is calculated."
While Fobas was still in doubt, Sig still raised his spear and said loudly to the Athens soldiers: "After a morning of training, now is the time to show your results!"
After a morning's training, the soldiers were exhausted, but all of them were full of enthusiasm. They could also feel the power of the formation taught by Sig, and they couldn't wait to use it to severely damage the enemy.
Of course, what made their hearts bleed even more was that their family and friends had left them because of the plague. This resentment remained in their hearts, which made them burst out with infinite strength.
"For Athens!"
"For love!"
"for freedom!"
They raised their spears and shouted loudly, walked out of the city gate neatly, cut into a regular array, and waited until the black shadow in the distance on the horizon gradually approached.
On the city wall, thousands of archers were also ready, and the logistics troops around them transported up bags of arrows and placed them beside the archers.
Under the scorching sun, the air became distorted, and the black shadow gradually approached in the distorted sight.
When he reached the distance where he could vaguely see the figure, Fubas couldn't help swallowing nervously.
The number of opponents was more than he predicted, roughly estimated to be around 30,000, while he had only 8,000 elite soldiers and 1,000 archers defending the city.
Moreover, the opponent's troops looked fierce and majestic, and they seemed to be the main force of Egypt's elite troops, while on their own side there were some soldiers who had just recovered, and some were even recruited recently.
The epidemic has emptied the city's troops. If it weren't for Rhodes' treatment, the city would have to be handed over to others.
He was grateful to Rhodes for allowing him to have soldiers to fight, even if he died, he could die on the battlefield, at least with the glory of an officer.
Rhodes and Sig walked out of the city wall and stood in front of the army. The soldiers who were still timid due to the gap in numbers felt relieved after seeing their backs.
Rhodes patted a soldier who was trembling with fright. It was obviously scorching hot weather, but his hands were cold.
"Don't be afraid, your task is not to fight head-on, just protect yourself. Chief Sig has already taught you, right?"
"Mmm... Mmm!" He swallowed, nodded, and his body gradually relaxed.
The army in the distance has blocked the horizon, and the figure stands in front of everyone, starting to straighten out the formation.
In front of them, the man on the white horse and the man on the red horse were particularly eye-catching, and they looked towards the distance on their horses.
Plague stopped his horse and stared at the Athenian army. As an archer, his eyesight was much better than ordinary people.
"How is this possible? They all look healthy?" He was surprised.
Zhan Zhan smiled disdainfully and said, "Just put on a face, look, there is only an army of less than 10,000 people, how can there be only so few people defending here as the capital of Greece, it's just a group of patients who haven't died yet That's all."
Plague narrowed his eyes suspiciously, reined in his horse and turned to his army, "I think we'd better be careful."
"Ha!" Zhan Zhan snorted coldly, he put the big sword on his shoulder, and showed a naughty smile, "No need, with this little army, I don't even have a role in it."
As he spoke, he flicked his whip and drove the red horse under him towards the Egyptian army.
Although Plague had doubts in his heart, after all, the advantage of numbers was here, so he also smiled slightly, as if laughing at his own worries, and then followed the footsteps of the war, returned to the Egyptian army formation, and prepared to watch the show with him rest.
A scar-faced commander under them took over the command and raised his spear and shouted at the Athenian army: "Advance the formation and attack!"
After finishing speaking, the 30,000-strong army began to march towards the city of Athens. Looking from a distance, the army whose faces could not be seen clearly set off a cloud of smoke and dust to float behind them.
Plague and war stood behind them. Although they held weapons in their hands, they did not plan to join the battle.
Rhodes returned to the city wall at this time, handed over the command of the front line to Sig for execution, and he fired a solar fireball into the sky.
