Chapter 1030 - 72: The Defeated and Greedy Hydra

[Our city collapses in violence, the greatest vision of this century shatters in the artillery—]

[But hope remains, we are still here.]

[All the oppressed, all those harmed and intimidated by violence, all who are full of hope for the future, working hard, building the future brick by brick, this shameful attack and robbery will not crush us!]

[From Europe to Africa, breaking the stereotypes that once divided us by country, race, and culture, we are the frontline against the dark future, we are the warhammer forging the dawn, we gather from all directions, overcoming all obstacles to fight side by side!]

[The voice in darkness has been heard, the cries in the ruins have been answered—]

[The artillery of the New World Alliance will crush every enemy!]

[One day, the world will break free of its shackles, today is that day!]

Boom!

The helicopter was hit in the air, crashing out of control onto the roadside!

A floating car maintained low-altitude flight, the roar of the engine and the machine gun onboard strafing the ground, mowing down Rocksen’s soldiers like a harvest of wheat.

The sky was streaked with blue trails pierced by electromagnetic guns, floating cars and transport aircraft swiftly glided over different altitudes, countless soldiers descended from the sky, and numerous Titan Robots crashed to the ground...

The entire battlefield was trembling!

The soldiers of the Rocksen Group, akin to killing machines, remained cold and composed, but under the fierce attack, they were like mantises trying to stop a chariot!

Their bullets couldn’t penetrate Titans, their gun muzzles couldn’t lock onto the Iron Riders, and the fierce artillery fire and terrifying strafing easily tore apart their formations; the carrier fleet burned and sank into the sea under the bombardment, they were being killed!

Martin pushed open the door to witness such a scene!

The soldiers of the Rocksen Group were in disarray!

Titans strode across the city’s ruins, forcefully lifting the rubble pressing down on the shelter, sunlight shone through the smoke and dust onto Martin’s and others’ faces.

Behind him, people no longer needed to squeeze out one by one from tight openings to enjoy the sunlight, the giant stones weighing on them had been moved away.

But...

"New World Alliance?"

Martin was dumbfounded: massive robots, swiftly moving floating cars, a group of Iron Riders comparable to Super Soldiers, invisible transport aircraft, and electromagnetic guns whose power could be felt just by tracing their trajectories...

Are aliens attacking Earth? Did Lille find alien reinforcements?

Sss——

The cockpit cover of the Titan popped open, and the Iron Rider inside jumped directly down, everyone who had been in combat mode for a long time instinctively grabbed their guns...

However, this Iron Rider directly opened his helmet, and it was Frank!

"Don’t be tense, Mr. Mayor, Mr. Sheriff, and Mr. Lee, remember me?"

People breathed a sigh of relief—

It seemed everything just now was too shocking for them to feel the thrill of survival after disaster, their brains were pondering the current situation.

Once they saw an acquaintance, everything became real.

Even Martin, who completely lost his composure, sat down on the stone next to him, unable to control his laughter:

"Ha... Of course, I remember, I’m not senile."

....

The collapse of New York was as swift as a storm, and this news immediately reached the ears of Rocksen Group’s CEO, Dalio!

[Contact: Alexander Pierce]

[Pierce: That kid is back, he brought an army, they took New York!]

Bang!

The wine glass shattered on the ground, Dalio was incredulous and also felt ominous:

The situation of the civil war in the United States was very delicate, his troops here included those under the control of Hydra and a small part of the U.S. Army.

With the air superiority of the Space Airship, the suddenness of the attacks, and Hydra’s infiltrating agents, after the civil war began, most of the U.S. Army only resisted slightly before their large-scale combat capabilities were paralyzed...

But, after all, this was the U.S. Army, this was the United States, in terms of sheer numbers and land area, it was no small matter, so although the war situation was clear, the process was gradual.

This aspect has always been under Hydra’s control...

It was handled by Hydra!

[Dalio: Do you know what you are talking about?]

[Pierce: I know, this setback is very severe, it will greatly reduce our advantage, he is back...]

[Dalio: Oh, ’he is back’?]

Dalio laughed angrily:

[Dalio: He’s back, so you Hydra guys just bend over and let him screw you? I don’t understand, Pierce, you have carrier fleets, powerful cybernetic biochemical warriors, and when the other side showed up, you all died?!]

[Pierce: That guy is really something else, you know that...]

[Dalio: It’s because he’s something else, not the whole world!]

Pierce fell silent, also feeling suffocated.

He hadn’t even noticed that he was already scared: any action associated with Lille would become uncontrollable.

This was the same, that enormous army instantly severed contact with an entire carrier fleet, was that normal!

He couldn’t help but retort, this time it wasn’t just Lille that was something else...

Indeed, the whole world was something else!

[Pierce: Do you still remember the robot army in the Middle East and the big explosion we observed earlier? I think this time it might really be the whole world acting weird...]

Dalio certainly remembered what Pierce was referring to: that useless Tony Stark, whose invention was easily defeated, and he himself was ambushed in his own company, yet after his death, the robot became formidable, first hitting the allies!

Ultron struck the Middle East in a sweeping fashion, though Zola could resist network attacks, physically, those damned scrap metals were crushed by Ultron!

Under such circumstances, Dalio had no choice but to abandon the Middle East, had to...shift his focus to other matters.

And weeks ago, there was a violent explosion in the Middle East, satellite images captured an extremely terrifying scene: the ground after the explosion had turned into a sizable lake of molten metal in that mechanical city!

In his view, the current situation has two possibilities: The first is that Ultron is conducting a High Energy Concentrated Oil experiment, meaning Ultron might have already wiped Europe and Africa out, and that kid Lille might have been annihilated too.

The second possibility is somewhat terrifying, and he actually doesn’t want to believe it:

The second possibility is that Ultron was attacked, and the attacker could only be humans, either Europe, maybe even Latovia...

But regardless, if Ultron was attacked, it means those now attacking New York are really humans, humans capable of defeating such terrifying robots!

Hydra believed it certainly was the second possibility, because the Ultron Robots in their memory didn’t look like this!

Why was this happening? All these years of accumulation, neither the sponsors nor his technology gave him peace of mind?!

Since getting involved with Lille, everything has been spiraling out of control!

It was all because of those damned experiments, and damned luck, that gave Lille such abilities, making him repeatedly suffer setbacks, again and again trailing behind until reaching this stage...

But that’s not important anymore.

Dalio calmed down.

[Dalio: What do you want this time?]

[Pierce: Transfer the control of the U.S. Army commanded by President Ellis formally into our command system, we’ll win this war.]

Though both Hydra and President Ellis accepted sponsorship from the Rocksen Group, Dalio certainly couldn’t hand over all military power, he was very cautious.

But now, those things don’t matter anymore.

Dalio sneered:

[Dalio: Then take it all—along with Cyber Technology, Peak Technology, military research achievements... Take whatever you want, I want that kid dead, got it?]

Pierce on the other end was stunned: he just wanted more power, possibly turning Rocksen into a shell company with only funds, while Hydra controlled all military strength, by then what would money mean?

But... The effect was better than he imagined!

Whatever the reason, Dalio handed over resources, why wouldn’t Hydra accept that?

[Pierce: Excellent, we’ll now deploy all forces to crush the enemy.]

All Space Carriers, Air Fighters, Carrier Fleets, Tanks, Army...

All forces will be incorporated into Hydra’s control, this was what he wanted!

All-out attack!
