Although the war has moved away from Asgard, the atmosphere in Asgard these days is still not good. After all, Asgard lost too much in this battle. In fact, the war was in its later stages, and Asgard's losses were not difficult to accept. After all, Asgard's elite legions had already returned for reinforcements at that time, and they were also the main body of the war. These elite legions were powerful and well-organized, so the losses were acceptable.
The truly unacceptable losses were actually all caused at the beginning of the war.
Because at the beginning of the war, Asgard was completely unprepared, and the enemy suddenly arrived, catching everyone by surprise. This resulted in a large number of civilian casualties.
When a soldier goes to the battlefield, he is prepared to die. Especially for Asgardians, when a warrior dies on the battlefield, he dies well and with honor. But this has nothing to do with civilians! They don't have that awareness, and they don't have that preparation.
A large number of civilians were killed and injured, and almost every family in Asgard wore mourning.
Under such circumstances, it is surprising that the atmosphere in Asgard can be good.
Thor also experienced for the first time that governing a country on the battlefield was completely useless.
Neither Frigga nor Odin thought of letting Thor take over the entire Asgard so soon. They planned to slowly teach Thor the ability to govern the country. Unfortunately, accidents always happen, and Thor was pushed out of the market.
In just a few days, Thor almost became a deserter.
He would rather fight those enemies for another three days and three nights than stay on the throne for an hour.
It's so tiring.
Just like now.
Wearing an eye patch, wielding the Eternal Spear, and wearing golden armor, Thor sat on the throne, listening solemnly to the matters discussed by his subordinates regarding the reconstruction of Asgard.
It seems that Thor is trying to listen to the opinions and needs of all parties.
But in fact, if you look carefully, there is no gleam of wisdom in Thor's one eye, but a kind of confusion and confusion.
Probably means.
What is he talking about?
Hey, what is the person next to him objecting to?
ha?
What do they mean?
what's for dinner?
I really want to fight Volstagg.
Well, Kai is getting better soon, should I go see him off?
Oops, the Eternal Spear is really powerful...but I still want my hammer more.
…
It's probably all this mess.
"Ahem...Thor? Your Majesty?"
The following argument had actually been over for a while, but their king was still sitting motionless on the throne, like a wooden man. The last minister couldn't bear it anymore and coughed lightly, intending to remind his king.
"Oh, I agree! I think what you said is very reasonable, so just do it according to this!"
Thor woke up from a dream.
He was greeted by silence.
There is a gross truth to this.
They argued for a long time, but no one could convince anyone, so they decided to let the king make the choice...
result……
Why……
A group of subordinates sighed unconsciously.
In fact, everyone has nothing dissatisfied with Thor, the new king. He is Odin's biological son, so his succession to the throne is logical and logical. He is now the only one in the royal family, without even a decent competitor.
What, you mean Loki?
Not to mention the bad things Loki did back then, the biggest obstacle was the issue of Loki's bloodline.
When Odin was still around, he might have been able to rely on his high prestige to prevent everyone from talking about this, but now... isn't Odin gone?
So even if they knew that Thor still couldn't handle state affairs as maturely as Odin, everyone could only hold their noses and admit it.
Fortunately, someone finally came to the rescue at this time.
Frigga came out.
The ministers and Thor breathed a sigh of relief.
so far so good. The person who can solve the problem has finally arrived.
But when everyone was a little surprised, there were two people following Frigga.
“Lord Brünnhilde, Lord Hildegard?!
"
For these two legendary figures, how could the ministers present not meet them, even just to talk, it would be a great honor.
But a few days ago, these two people were obviously very old and were about to catch up with their grandma. But now, they are young and radiant again!
"This is……"
Thor was not surprised, after all he knew why. Thor still admires these two people very much. Of course, it would be better if Brunhilde was willing to return Mjolnir to him.
"The two Valkyries have decided to stay and assist Zuo Thor."
Frigga announced softly.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall became obviously heated.
Compared to the unreliable Thor, the two senior Valkyries are obviously more reassuring.
…
"I'm sorry, I also want to send you back to Earth...but."
At the center of the Rainbow Bridge, Thor said apologetically to his friends on Earth.
Kai sat on a floating wheelchair and waved his hand: "You have your responsibilities."
Thor looked at Kai and said a little reluctantly: "Actually, you should stay for a while, your body has not recovered yet."
Kai's condition has improved a lot now. Except that his face is a little pale and a little weak, there is no problem anymore.
"No need, anyway, the most troublesome time is over, and the rest will be the same as recuperating on earth."
Kai has been out for long enough, and he really misses home.
Moreover, he is also going back to Earth to say goodbye to another group of people.
Ancient Yi is already ready to send those visitors from parallel time and space back at any time.
So Kai had to rush back.
"Well, brother. You are always welcome in Asgard."
Thor was not a pretentious person. Now that Kai had made his decision, he didn't say much and just hugged Kai.
】
Kai: "Odin's current situation, you have to be careful."
"I'll take good care of him."
Thor thought Kai was telling him to take care of his father.
But Kai shook his head.
When talking to this reckless man, you have to be direct and direct. If you are a little more subtle, this guy won't understand.
"No, I'm not talking about Odin. I'm talking about Thanos!"
When Hela appeared in Surtur before, she called out Ebony Maw's name.
This made everyone understand that everything that happened to Asgard was because Thanos was behind it.
"He has caused so many things, he will definitely not just cause trouble for Asgard."
According to Asgard, Asgard and Thanos don't actually have any deep hatred, it's just that Odin taught Thanos a lesson. But it didn’t really do anything to Thanos. With Thanos's character, he would never deal with Asgard specifically because of this trivial matter.
Although he is a bad guy, he is a bad guy with style.
"Why else? Isn't it just for the infinite stones?! Let him come! Asgard will never forget kindness, let alone hatred!"
When talking about Thanos, the anger in Thor's eyes is clearly visible.
Whether it was releasing Hela or releasing Surtur in Asgard, it was Thanos's work.
It can be said that Thanos is responsible for all disasters that Asgard encounters. If Thor hadn't taken over the throne now, he would have wanted to go directly to trouble Thanos.
As for the information about Thanos collecting the Infinity Stones, it was naturally provided by the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Oh, and by the way, the Guardians of the Galaxy are gone. They plan to meet Xandar, and they are a little worried about the power stone placed there.
Thanos dares to plot against Asgard, so Xandar cannot be let go.
"Anyway, be careful. Thanos wants the Infinity Stones, and Asgard is his biggest stumbling block."
…
The Guardians of the Galaxy are right to be worried.
However, they underestimated Thanos' determination.
Just as the Guardians of the Galaxy were on their way to Xandar, Thanos' army had already arrived on Xandar.
"Master, the Xandarian planetary orbital defense has been breached by us!"
General Deathblade, one of the five black generals, knelt down in front of the throne and reported softly.
"Slow down, my child." Thanos sat on the huge throne, supporting his chin with one hand, eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking.
Among the five black generals, only Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf were not adopted by Thanos. The other three were all orphans adopted by Thanos. They call themselves 'Sons of Thanos'.
"I'm sorry, my master." General Deathblade immediately lowered his head: "We didn't expect the Nova Legion's resistance to be so fierce."
As for Xandar's attack, Thanos actually started planning after Ronan failed.
The Xandar Empire is also a huge interstellar civilization. Although it is not as powerful as the Kree Empire, it is not a civilization that can be bullied at will. At least with Thanos's strength, if you want to attack the Xandar Empire, you will definitely find yourself unhappy.
Although Xandar is not a military power, they are not civilized because of their strong military. On the contrary, this civilization is known for its openness and tolerance. They have many free trade stars and welcome any civilization to come here to exchange and do business, and their home planet Xandar It's a free star port.
Xandar is truly famous in the universe for their special force: the Nova Corps.
Initially, the Nova Corps consisted of Xandar's space militia and exploration agencies. Later, the legion developed into a 500-man unit ranging from guards to centurions, including the leader of the centurions, the Nova Centurion Superintendent.
If an army only has 500 people, it would be a joke in any country on earth, let alone in the universe.
But the Nova Corps is an exception.
Because every member of the Nova Corps is extraordinary. Well, to put it simply, every one of them is a superhero.
The source of the legion's power is 'nova energy', which is a nearly unlimited field of power generated by a super life computer "World Brain" and distributed to every 'nova' in the legion. (Members of the Nova Corps call themselves Nova)
If you have to describe them in detail, you can think of them as the monkey version of Captain Marvel. Each of them can physically fly through space, can shoot various rays, have infinite strength, and are invulnerable.
It is also because of them that Xandar's basic military strength is not strong.
However, the Nova Corps also has its own problems.
That means there are too few people.
The scope of the Xandar Empire is too large, and the Xandar Empire likes to meddle in other people's affairs, so the Nova Corps' patrol range is very wide, which makes the Nova Corps' manpower even more stretched.
Otherwise, Ronan wouldn't have almost taken Xandar Star. (It was ridiculous in the movie. Ronan's spaceship almost destroyed Xandar... How on earth did Xandar kill Ronan's father and grandfather before? The Nova Corps in the movie also all became ordinary He actually flew up in a small plane and fucked Ronan...)
So if Thanos wants to attack Xandar, he naturally has to consider the Nova Corps.
Long before they attacked, through a series of arrangements, they mobilized the tigers away from the mountain and divided the entire Nova Legion and lured them elsewhere. There were very few members of the Nova Legion left on Xandar, and most of them were just recruits.
Logically speaking, after making so many preparations, they should easily be able to break through Xandar's defenses.
Their battle this time focused on speed, and their time window was very short. At this time, it is estimated that the Nova Corps members who were diverted are rushing back.
But unexpectedly, this attack was much slower than planned.
The members of the Nova Corps who stayed behind on Xandar showed unimaginable courage and strength, slowing down Thanos' army.
"Then make up for the wasted time."
Thanos did not severely blame Death Blade, but instead picked up his double-edged sword 'Tyrant Sword' and helmet from the edge of the throne.
"Owner?"
Deathblade saw Thanos pick up the weapon and helmet and immediately panicked.
"Please give us a moment and we'll get the Power Stone back in no time! You don't have to do it yourself!"
It is absolutely the most shameful thing for them, the sons of Thanos, to let their master fight in person.
"Don't worry about these insignificant things, focus on the mission! I want to get the power stone!"
…
Half an hour later.
Xandar fell into silence, with only the sound of crying still floating in the air. The battle is over.
In front of Thanos, more than a dozen members of the Nova Corps fell to the ground in a mess, and most of them had lost their vital signs.
There is only one young star, struggling to stand in front of Thanos.
There were wounds all over his body, and his left arm was hanging at his side, obviously broken.
"Young man, you did a great job." Thanos flicked the double-edged sword in his hand. It was covered with the blood of the new stars, perhaps including the boy in front of him. "But the gap between us is too big. Get out of the way. I don't enjoy killing young lives. You have a better future."
Thanos didn't feel any excitement or joy about the killing he had just committed.
As he said, he didn't enjoy killing, and even hated it.
"You executioner! Have you killed too many people?!
"
The young man raised his head and looked at Thanos angrily. The anger in his eyes made Thanos feel the beauty of youth again.
Thanos shook his head.
"The matter is over, you can live. So, don't make unnecessary sacrifices."
Yes, half of the population of Xandar was wiped out by Thanos just now.
On Thanos' left arm, he wears a golden metal glove, and on top of the glove, a purple gem is emitting a purple shimmer.
