The National Guard immediately established a defensive line. Massive suits of power armor transformed into small The Bunkers on the streets, with various rifles and cannons protruding from their firing ports—
"Fire!" Norman's arm swung high!
Boom!
The sound of massive cannon fire echoed through the streets as if fireworks were being set off in the sky. The barrage forced these Chitauri to a halt!
"Captain, is this your first time on the battlefield after resurrection? You need to reconsider your battle plan." Frank flew over Captain America's head.
"We need you to command the National Guard in this sector; trench tactics!"
As a tactical expert proficient in all tactics, Captain America naturally knew what trench warfare was, but how could one dig trenches in a city?
"Digging trenches in a city? I don't think that's—" Just as Captain America's voice fell, Super-heavy power armor rushed out from the street not far away.
This power armor extended armor plates like Transformers, surrounding itself with thick plating to form a small The Bunker. Not only that, but this small The Bunker could also move slowly.
Every The Bunker power armor represented a Fortification squad, complete with machine gunners, engineers, and Rocket launchers.
Under the control of ctOS, several gas pipes exploded, preventing more Chitauri from breaking through the blockade and providing more materials for the construction of the trenches.
Engineers relied on the strength of mechanical exoskeletons to prop up the rubble and stones from the ground. They sprayed a peculiar White adhesive from their hands that looked like some kind of Web Fluid.
After propping up the stones, the engineers carried sandbags from the Super-heavy power armor and placed them inside the trenches, then sprayed the sandbags and stones with Web Fluid. The trenches quickly took shape.
Rather than trenches, these were more like corridors.
Frank threw a pair of AR glasses toward Captain: "ctOS will direct the troops to build trenches to cover the evacuation of residents, but the equipment here is damaged. We need someone who can command the battle!"
The Avengers looked at each other, and Captain America put on the glasses. He immediately knew where there were still citizens and where the trenches should be built.
"Hey, Captain." Frank called out again, "It's a pleasure fighting with you."
After saying that, he flew away. Captain America smiled; it felt like a dream back to World War II.
Inside a certain building, a group of citizens was trembling with fear.
Before they could see clearly, three Chitauri rushed in!
Seeing that there were still many people inside, these Aliens were about to pull out their guns. Unexpectedly, in the next second, more soldiers wearing exoskeletons rushed in and gunned the creatures down.
The battle ended, the soldiers left, and a young man wearing a Civilian exoskeleton walked in.
"ctOS should have sent all the news—I forgot, you guys must be the ones who don't like ctOS. Now follow me to evacuate; it's not safe here. Are there any injured who have trouble walking?"
"Wait a minute, how do I know what you're saying is true! And isn't it more dangerous outside?" someone shouted in doubt; this was someone who refused to believe in ctOS no matter what.
The young man showed a helpless expression: "Are you serious? Whatever, those who want to come with me, keep up."
The crowd looked at each other, but they soon set aside their prejudices.
"There are a few injured people here; you alone might—" Before the voice could finish, more young men wearing Civilian exoskeletons walked in. "That should be enough."
Walking out of the building, the outside had long since turned into a war zone. Aliens were constantly flying by in the sky, and the young man stopped.
"Can we keep going?" someone behind him asked tremulously.
The young man pointed to the red light ahead.
"Waiting for a red light? Are you kid—"
Before the person could finish, several Chitauri Flyers suddenly crashed from the sky. If they had run out directly, they might have been hit!
The traffic light turned green, and the young man signaled that everyone could go.
They were surprised to find deep trenches established on the streets. Between these trenches, there were small The Bunkers that hadn't been there before, guarding the surroundings. They could use this cover to move to the nearest civil defense measures.
In a place where no one noticed, a Chitauri slowly crawled up from the ground; it seemed he wasn't quite dead yet.
If he managed to get a weapon, it could be disastrous for these civilians.
Bang!
Before he could even stand up, ctOS detected the fellow and instructed the young man in charge of the evacuation to fire a finishing shot.
It must be said that the Chitauri really aren't that strong; at least this batch of Chitauri really isn't up to par—after all, they are Aliens who can be suppressed by Black Widow with a pistol.
A shotgun was enough for a finishing blow.
"You just killed an alien?" a civilian said in disbelief.
"Just a finishing shot." The young man shrugged. In fact, this was the fourth Alien he had finished off.
The only trouble in this battle was those Chitauri leviathan ships.
The situation seemed to be under control, but just as everyone was cheering for it, more Chitauri leviathan ships passed through the wormhole and entered this World.
The ground rumbled and shook as Hulk met a massive leviathan ship with a punch, forcing the thing to a halt!
The immense force traveled from the head of the ship to the tail, and sections of the hull crumbled and split apart. The scene was incredibly spectacular.
Looking at Hulk, who had disabled a leviathan ship with one punch, Harry felt some regret that he hadn't fully controlled the Abomination yet.
However, releasing the Abomination now wouldn't be good either; public opinion wasn't in place yet, and it would be troublesome if he and Hulk started fighting.
"So, this is your plan?" Tony flew to Harry's side—or more accurately, he was passing by. Harry had seen the leviathan ship following behind him from a distance.
"Yeah, it's much more realistic than relying on just a few people to finish the battle. Can you stop flying toward me?"
"No. Remember? You owe me one."
Tony led the leviathan ship toward Harry and then made his escape.
Harry waved his hand, and Osborn's troops immediately slid out from the tall buildings beside him. Rockets and Arc stars were planted onto the leviathan ship—
Boom!
Harry didn't even glance at the massive thing as it crashed to the ground before it could hit him.
"Teamwork? Fine." Tony shook his head helplessly. He had been fighting quite awkwardly just now—his whole body had crashed into a leviathan ship.
Harry stood in the air; there were few situations that required him to act directly. He had been using a communicator to direct Bone to change ctOS instructions.
Not far away, Thor was summoning thunder at the top of the Empire State Building. Lening approached as if he had caught the scent of something good, and the lightning called from the sky spread out in all directions as if it were alive.
A significant amount of the powerful thunder was stolen by Lening!
"Where's my thunder?" Thor felt the energy he released was a bit lacking. He looked at his hammer, then looked behind him.
A massive Thunder Giant took shape in the sky. The Thunder Giant looked at its hands curiously, then, like a child grabbing toys, it seized a leviathan ship with lightning and hurled it back into the wormhole.
"..." Thor fell silent.
"Is that Asgardian sorcery?" Black Widow lamented from below. Beside her, Captain America watched without saying a word.
The World was too chaotic; he could no longer understand it.
