Chapter 779 Edge OB
Luke said as Elika and Carter explained to the Big Three.
This is a political game.
As the core of a force, they must understand and learn.
This alien invasion is just the beginning.
Aliens invaded? Not important. What was important was that the royal family took the opportunity to seize power.
And Luke's Earth Defense Line is the sword borrowed by the royal family.
Not only aliens were killed, but also British political forces.
Sure enough, after the Queen’s speech, the military was the first to speak out in support.
Vow to stand with the Queen and defend London to the death.
The Royal Navy also joined in the fun with its old Harrier fighter jets.
However, the strength of these fighter jets was really poor and most of them were shot down.
Some planes even crashed into the alien mothership without causing any damage to the other side.
The heroic performance of the Royal Navy inspired the Royal Air Force.
If missiles don't work, then use machine guns.
The troops on the ground also evacuated along with the civilians and moved to the suburbs of London.
The Royal Air Force is fighting in the sky.
But their numbers were still far behind the enemy.
Many ground-based air defense units also began fighting.
The army also had to cover the evacuation of the people and even brought in some old vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft guns.
But it's just a drop in the bucket.
Faced with highly maneuverable aircraft, the anti-aircraft guns' hit rate is pitifully low.
The British government will make one final effort to negotiate with the other party.
Their ideas are simple and naive.
Hope to trade with aliens, and preferably obtain alien technology.
The Earth Defense Front puts a lot of pressure on countries on Earth.
Therefore, the British government has to give it a try even if it is criticized by everyone.
The masters behind them want to do this, so they have to do it.
Soon, a new force joined the air.
Nick Fury's Avengers are here.
But, there is no one who can fly...
This is an air battle.
The Quinjet is still a novice in front of these alien aircraft.
The Avengers began to cover the evacuation of the people.
In space orbit.
General Zod, the android controlled by Lilith, is watching the battle over London with Chad.
Many countries around the world are watching.
Lilith has started a global live broadcast again.
However, no country or force requested the Earth Defense Front to intervene in this battle.
not a single one.
Lilith didn't understand what they were planning, but Luke did.
Afterwards, Luke went on to explain the political game to the Big Three in the restaurant.
As the Earth's defense front, they will not be happy whether you actively or passively enter the sphere of influence of various countries on Earth.
But the true strength of the Earth Defense Front is there, and no one else can refuse it.
And the battles on the ground were basically led by Steve.
Captain America is very popular in Europe and is also pretty good in America.
Other countries rely on hard power.
As for the University of Tokyo, Steve has never been there.
Because there is no Hydra at the University of Tokyo.
Now, there is an opportunity on Earth to contact aliens.
The last time the Chitauri invaded, they were dealt with internally in Paradise Town.
Afterwards, although the US military obtained the aliens' equipment, it was of little use.
Because there is no complete technology tree, many technologies cannot be understood.
Pure imitation is too expensive and has limited impact on current war technology.
The Chitauri's fighting style relies purely on numbers, and their goal is to consume their energy.
The technological content is not high in the universe.
But this time, the opponent's technological level was obviously more than one level higher than that of the Chitauri.
The Chitauri's flying vehicle is slow, and Hawkeye can shoot it down with a bow and arrow.
But these aircraft, although not supersonic, are not slow either.
It's definitely not something that can be shot down with a gun.
Moreover, their flight control is very flexible and missiles cannot shoot them down.
Therefore, they all had the idea of using the power of the entire earth to keep these aliens here.
It would be best if we could get their technology.
However, the other party had no intention of talking at all and started fighting right away.
This time, not only the air force but also people were sent from the ground.
At this time, Luke received the news.
It was from Lilith.
Luke: "The latest news is that the invaders are a clan called the Dark Elves."
Elika: "Elf?"
Luke smiled and said to her:
"They are not the beautiful elves in movies and TV shows. Let me show you what they look like. They are nothing like the elves that Earthlings imagine."
Luke handed the tablet to Elika.
Elika and Laura looked at each other, and sure enough, they looked disgusted...
Then, everyone took turns to watch it.
Stark: "Where are they from? Why do they come to Earth?"
Luke turned on the sound and heard Lilith's voice.
"Their specific purpose for coming to Earth is unclear."
"But they belong to one of the nine realms of Asgard, and are a race that originated in Svartalfheim."
"This invasion of Earth may be an accident."
"Because of the disorder in space on Earth, the nine worlds overlap with each other. We may be regarded as invaders by the other side."
Steve: "We're invaders? Are you kidding me?"
Lilith: "According to the information I have, the Dark Elves are not a friendly race. They fought a great war with Asgard and suffered heavy losses."
"It's unclear what happened afterwards. There's no record of that on Xandar or Kamar-Taj."
Luke nodded.
"Okay, this information is enough. Let our fleet enter the battlefield."
"Okay, boss."
The Dark Elves sent in ground troops.
This combat power is obviously more than one level higher than that of the Chitauri.
Various high-tech weapons that are beyond the reach of Earthlings were also used.
The Avengers and the British Army were also unable to withstand the attack and could only fight and retreat.
Fortunately, the Dark Elves’ target is not ordinary people or Buckingham Palace.
Their target is the exploded Hydra base.
This is an office building.
It is located near the suburbs, not very high, but the area is not small.
This is where the dark elves are aiming.
At the same time, after receiving the news, Lilith commanded the fleet to the Atlantic side, near London, England.
However, in the end, the fleet stopped outside British territorial waters, just at the edge of the national border, OB (meaning observation, not participating in the battle).
Such a huge fleet has been discovered by almost all the surrounding countries.
Even the dark elves are no exception.
But seeing that the fleet was just parked there and not taking any action, the dark elves had no intention of taking the initiative to provoke trouble.
The Dark Elf mothership is only 1 kilometer long.
This time, Lilith sent out Infinity-class battleships, the first ship, Infinity, was nearly 6 kilometers long.
As long as the dark elves are not stupid, they will not take the initiative to attack.
Their battleships are typical space battleships, relying on defense and fighters to fight the enemy.
This is the more old-school way.
At the bow of the Infinity, the quadruple-mounted 27-meter-caliber main guns were facing them.
