At this time, SHIELD is tracking Ultron and the team over there is also busy.
Although they do not intend to directly disturb Ultron itself, it is still possible to make some preparations in advance.
For example, build some lines of defense in this seemingly messy slum area.
Or use the map to arrange the position of the defense line where subsequent arrivals should stay.
Although they don't know what the outcome will be after fighting Ultron.
But the information on the mechanical demons created by Ultron has been studied several times.
Nephalems always bring up the issue of endless demons, and SHIELD still needs to be prepared in advance for this situation.
If the person taken away by Ultron is not Tony, then he is the best person to build a defense line here.
The skills Tony has mastered can completely establish a solid defense line even when the number of people is not sufficient.
But unfortunately at this time, SHIELD can only mobilize as many manpower as possible as close as possible to this place to maintain the stability of the defense line.
After all, they don't want the consequences of the fighting to have a huge impact and lead to the displacement of more humans.
"Nick Fury, have you ever thought about what would happen if Ultron wasn't here?"
Melinda said with dissatisfaction.
To be honest, she would feel a little annoyed when she saw Nick Fury.
And her worries are not unnecessary, this is indeed an issue that should be considered.
After all, no one has clearly seen Ultron so far, so it is not unexpected that he is looking in the wrong place.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is a secret service agency, so it naturally knows how important it is to have accurate intelligence.
"That scenario is unlikely, although you might be unhappy to say so.
But I have already had someone search it, but the method is relatively hidden."
Nick Fury said and touched his eyepatch.
There is indeed a damaged eye under his eyepatch, but this eye also has some special equipment.
For example, you can see messages coming from the back of the eye mask.
This little trick can have extraordinary effects when necessary.
As for what he said that Melinda and the others would be unhappy about, it was not this, but the fact that he had completed the inspection here without informing others.
As for the manpower to check here, it is naturally the king of the Inhumans, Black Bolt, whom Nick Fury can completely trust!
Black Bolt did not use destructive means to retrieve this range, just whispered.
Then I just used the power of sound to determine if there was anything abnormal here.
Black Bolt did not notice Ultron's whereabouts within this range, but he found Tony's whereabouts!
Tony's body at this time was almost the same as that of a normal person, but the topaz energy core created with the help of Rasuk was still carried by Tony.
This thing is very clearly identifiable in Black Bolt's perception, and naturally it becomes an important evidence to determine the location of Ultron.
Although it is not ruled out that Ultron might take this thing away from Tony and leave it here to interfere with other people's sight.
But this possibility is not high.
A guy as powerful as Ultron knows through the Internet that no powerful Nephalem will come here.
He has no reason to be afraid of other people's teams.
Although he is only half a demon king, Ultron himself is still a proud guy.
Not only is he aloof as a digital life demon, but he is also a bit domineering like a Cyberman.
Furthermore, no matter how detailed the information is, there may still be loopholes.
If an agent only relies on intelligence no matter what he does, then intelligence personnel like Natasha will not be so precious.
Only those who are able to control things within their own capabilities after breaking away from intelligence can be considered the best agent candidates!
It's just that there aren't many people in SHIELD who can do this.
"When I go back, I will definitely resign!
Even if you use any human comfort to kidnap me morally this time, it will be useless!
Now it’s not like you can only contribute to humanity by being in SHIELD!”
Melinda said fiercely.
She did feel offended by Nick Fury.
If it had been before, she might have endured this anger on her own.
But now she has no patience with SHIELD.
The previous time Rumlow joined SHIELD, Melinda's trust in SHIELD was completely broken.
"If you succeed this time, I will arrange retirement for you."
Nick Fury said.
Retirement is the best outcome for agents.
This means they can receive a manageable retirement salary, and no fool will mess with them.
Each of these agents, to some extent, has some valuable information.
As long as the institutions using them are not stupid, they will definitely try their best to protect retirees.
At least we can't let these guys get any unfair treatment and run to the other side with their heads burning.
"That's best."
Melinda resisted the urge to take out the flail and give it to Nick Fury before she squeezed out three words.
She walked to the next room angrily and found a seat to sit down.
SHIELD people have cleared out several rooms in this area as temporary residences.
According to the information given by Nick Fury, Ultron and Tony are at the center here.
Although they still don't know if they have been exposed to Ultron's sight.
But they are still making preparations in the usual way.
After a portal opened, Natasha and Barton, who had not returned to SHIELD for a long time, came over.
The location of the portal is very hidden.
This portal was also opened in accordance with the requirements given by Nick Fury.
Although both Natasha and Barton knew that this portal also had the purpose of testing Ultron.
Once Ultron really pays attention to their situation, he will definitely not miss the fluctuation of the portal opening.
So they opened this portal from the Holy Mountain of Harrogas.
If Ultron launches a direct attack at this time, Ultron's location will definitely be discovered on the Holy Mountain of Harrogas.
At that time, you no longer need to worry about planning issues, but just kill Ultron, the half-demon king!
Of course, this is not just a test of Ultron!
It is also a deterrent to Ultron!
As long as Ultron can know the existence of this portal, he can understand that Nick Fury does not intend to have a life-or-death decisive battle with him!
The Nephalem's intimidating power is put to good use in a place like this!
Nick Fury hopes to fight the devil Ultron with a certain degree of tacit understanding!
SHIELD's need is simply to rescue Tony, and it does not plan to completely defeat Ultron here!
Although they don't know what Ultron is thinking, it can be expected that Ultron definitely doesn't want to directly become a part of the past!
"Nick, long time no see."
Natasha was greeting Nick Fury naturally.
But Barton just nodded.
Barton is indeed not the type to talk a lot.
"Has Rhodes contacted the military manpower?"
Nick Fury asked directly.
After learning the news that Tony had been kidnapped, Rhodes immediately became impatient.
To Rod, Tony was his friend.
Although Rhodes is more concerned about national interests, Tony's existence can bring more to this country!
Coupled with the bonus of friendship, Rhodes often sides with Tony.
After the demonic threat became more intense, the possible conflicts between Luo Ge and Tony also reduced a lot.
"General Ross's team is already fifty kilometers away.
They were worried that they would not be able to hide if they continued to get closer.
However, the heavy weapons have already completed their construction and are aimed at this area.
If necessary, he will directly level this area to the ground."
Natasha said.
The mobilization of the army is to prevent a large number of demons from attacking the rear after the battle begins.
General Ross also mobilized a lot of weapons of mass destruction!
If the devil shows any signs of breaking through the defense line, they will use saturation strikes without hesitation!
"This sounds good, but I feel like I should use a life substitute to come here."
Nick Fury made a little joke.
"If you hadn't come here in person, Melinda probably wouldn't have accepted this order.
To be honest, not only does she not trust you enough, I am also wary of your behavior.
If the person standing here is just your life substitute, I will also worry about whether this is a trap that you know the threat."
Natasha said directly.
There is nothing that cannot be said.
Now that Natasha is used to the barbarian way of survival, she feels more and more relaxed.
It's better to be straightforward than to be secretive like in the past.
She has transformed from a frontline agent into a frontline warrior.
"So I'm here, and I need everyone's strength this time.
We have to try to deal with the demon on our own.
Although I know that the power of the Nephalem is also on our side.
But you can’t put all your eggs in one basket, right?”
Nick Fury said.
"So rescuing Tony is only part of this operation. What you want to see more is how we will perform in the hands of Ultron, the half-demon king?"
Barton finally spoke, although his tone was not very kind.
But Barton didn't mean to object, just a little bit dissatisfied.
"Yes.
If we face Ultron this time, we won't be able to make any effective counterattack.
So this means that we are even more powerless when facing archangels or demons.
In order to avoid further sacrifices, we will have to rely on the power of the Nephalem."
Nick Fury said it very frankly this time.
It's not that he changed his style, but it won't take long before everyone can think of such an idea.
The most unnecessary thing is to increase mutual distrust for an idea that will definitely be exposed.
"It sounds dangerous, but it is indeed necessary."
Natasha nodded in approval.
Barton didn't speak, but he obviously agreed with the idea.
"Then it depends on when Wayne can bring their comrades here.
I have always wanted to personally win over those people around Wayne."
Nick Fury found a topic that would make people feel lighter.
Arthur and Shazana beside Wayne are both very powerful fighters.
Although The Flash himself is still a little immature, his importance as a speedster is self-evident.
As for Cyborg, if he didn't have to face Ultron, Nick Fury would be looking forward to cooperating with Cyborg.
For this battle, Nick Fury also specifically contacted some experts in the information field to discuss Cyborg.
In the end, he was worried that Cyborg would become a breakthrough point for Ultron, so he gave up the plan to recruit Cyborg as a fighting force.
According to experts in the field of information security, as long as the machine is connected to the Internet, it may be controlled!
If it is a machine, there is another way to avoid being controlled by Ultron by cutting off the power supply.
But Cyborg can't do this.
In order to avoid possible trouble, keeping Cyborg away from here is the best option.
Wayne had the same view on this.
So now Cyborg is staying directly in La Tovilia with Vision.
Although Rasma left La Tovilia temporarily, it is still a safe place where Dr. Doom and Vision are.
Especially now that Dr. Doom has begun passing on the knowledge of Rathma's teachings to those who cast spells.
Even the lineage of the Supreme Mage, who has a good relationship with SHIELD, also has a good connection with La Tovilia.
"Isn't Wayne here yet?"
Natasha was a little confused.
She and Barton were on the Holy Mountain. Although they saw the ancestors seeming to be busy, they did not know the news of Bulcasso's return.
Naturally, we don't know about Wayne's departure from the Holy Mountain.
"It probably will take some time. He's looking for help."
Nick Fury confirmed.
"It's a little strange. I heard from my ancestors that Wayne went to find Craig, but I didn't see Craig here either."
Natasha said.
"Maybe there's something going on that you don't know about yet.
But it doesn't matter, Wayne and I have agreed on a time for the operation to begin.
If there are any changes, he will send a message."
Nick Fury said.
Although it was impossible for him not to care about this, at least there was no trace of worry on his face.
As the best agent, he can do flawless expression management.
As for the possibility of exposing one's innermost feelings, it is extremely slim!
Natasha fell silent with this thought.
She knew that she would not get results by asking Nick Fury.
But after arriving here, it is not suitable to directly open the portal and go back to the Holy Mountain to find out the specific news.
Although she knew that if she asked, the ancestral spirit would definitely be able to give her an answer, no matter whether it was the answer she wanted or not.
After all, savages disdain lies.
"Okay, keep waiting.
Barton, you may have to take care of the medical team in a while.
After we bring Tony back, we need to check and treat Tony's condition as soon as possible.
Then he took Tony directly to evacuate the battlefield.
Although we don't know for what purpose Ultron took Tony away.
But Tony must be valuable to Ultron."
Nick Fury arranged the work.
Although Hawkeye Barton has no shortcomings in melee combat ability.
But compared to his enhanced long-range strike ability, letting Barton fight in close combat is a waste!
At this time, the best choice is to let Patton appear in an important position relatively behind, so as not to waste his combat effectiveness.
Barton nodded, Nick Fury's combat command ability was also very outstanding.
Although it may not be as good as Steve's battlefield command ability, it is definitely enough.
But this is only because Nick Fury cannot completely abandon his agent behavior.
It's not that Nick Fury is missing anything.
He just has a bit of a gambling streak.
"I want to make sure, have you and General Ross agreed on the signal to launch the bombing?"
Natasha asked.
"I let Hill stay with General Ross, but I gave Hill the decision-making power whether to launch an attack."
Nick Fury said.
This answer surprised Natasha.
This is the first time she has seen Nick Fury leave the decision-making power to others!
"By the way, it's just that General Ross's team is not all the preparations you have made.
Is there anything else you think you can tell us now?"
Natasha asked.
"Over at the World Security Council, I asked Coulson and Barbara to watch.
After General Ross begins bombing the battlefield, the World Security Council will be ready to launch nuclear weapons to strike.
SHIELD, on the other hand, will send all weapons with Witcher technology to the hands of General Ross to carry out a comprehensive hunting and killing battle against demons."
Nick Fury only hesitated for a moment before telling the news.
If you want to gain trust, you have to give trust.
This is the inevitable result when agents get along with each other.
An agent must never take the initiative to trust another agent.
Nick Fury knows this code very well! Even though the story about his eyes is just made up.
But there is always no problem with this principle.
He must first show his trust in Natasha before Natasha will respond to this trust!
