Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics

Chapter 115: The Warplane

5/5 weekly chapter, enjoy.

“Coulson, did things go according to plan?”

Barton contacted Coulson and asked. 

“In fact, I didn’t expect an attack to occur.” 

Coulson replied with an awkward tone. 

They guarded for so long but they couldn’t detect Phantom Kid. Instead, they encountered a robot attack. 

Well, a mechanical army riot can also be regarded as within the scope of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s business. 

Even if they have a task, they can’t ignore the event that is happening in front of them. 

“Coulson, can you hear me?” 

Suddenly, another voice rang from Coulson’s communicator, it was Natasha! 

“What happened, Agent Romanoff; I need as much information as possible.” 

“These mechanical soldiers are all from Hammer Industries, but Justin Hammer himself seems to have no idea about what’s happening. Tony believes that Ivan Vanko is behind it all.” 

“These robots are all under Ivan’s control, so if we take him out, this incident will be resolved.” 

“Where is Ivan Vanko?” 

“Still in Hammer Industries!” 

Coulson nodded. 

“Barton, call the team, we need to move…” 

“Boom!” 

Under Ivan’s remote control, the mechanical army turned into terrifying killing machines. 

Countless artillery fire exploded everywhere, and the center pavilion turned into a pile of rubble in a moment. 

Since the first shot, the audience has already started to flee in panic. 

The battle between Iron Man and the Mechanic Army left the venue in a mess. Yet, no one was hit directly by the gunfire. 

Only a small number of casualties were caused by the bricks or walls falling around. 

At his sight, Mathison had to exclaim at the ability of New Yorkers to avoid danger. Their quick evacuation had amazed him! 

It is absolutely impossible to see such a scene in Gotham. 

Obviously, the two cities are so close together, why is the gap between the two neighbors living on the opposite side of the bridge so vast? 

“Everyone, give up all current actions and evacuate the crowd as soon as possible!” 

“The combatants are in place, ready to help Iron Man defeat the enemy at any time!” 

“The order forbidding firing is lifted, just shoot the robots that are slaughtering civilians!” 

Mathison gave orders to all the police officers in George’s voice. 

In his impression, the combat effectiveness of these mechanical soldiers was not enough to bring down Iron Man. 

Coupled with the assistance of more than a dozen armed helicopters, one wouldn’t worry about losing to Ivan Vanko! 

“Quickly, put the helicopter in position, report the overall situation at all times, and then seize the right timing to destroy the mechanical soldiers!” 

Just a second ago, Iron Man flew into the sky from the central exhibition hall. It was for the sole reason to lead the mechanical army to an empty location to fight them at ease, so as not to accidentally injure the civilians. 

Given that Tony has not yet developed the fourth generation of the Arc reactor, the energy efficiency of the Iron Man suit is actually not substantially improved. 

Therefore, the speed of the steel suit is faster than that of the mechanical soldiers made by Ivan, however, it is limited. 

When Iron Man flew away a certain distance, these mechanical soldiers gave up chasing Tony, and instead directed gunfire at innocent citizens, forcing Tony to slow down, to ensure that he and the mechanical army would not be too far apart. 

Tony kept a distance of two hundred meters or more. 

“Sir, we’re locked on, emergency evasive action recommended.” 

Jarvis’s announcement sounded from inside the steel suit. 

“What?” 

Before Tony could hear it clearly, Jarvis helped Tony control the suit and slam it down. 

Then several rockets flew past Iron Man’s original position, with attacks from above as well as from the left and right sides. 

Although he dodged the attack, because he flew downwards right about now, Tony flew directly into the mechanical army behind him. 

Then in the sky, Iron Man began his fight with them. 

At this time, Iron Man could not destroy the mechanical soldiers of Hammer Industries as easily as in the movie. 

His palm cannon can only destroy the outer armor of a mechanical soldier. 

It takes at least three rounds from his palm cannon to completely destroy one. 

The mechanical soldiers are always moving at a high speed, and Tony can’t guarantee a hit for every attack. In this way, the energy consumption of the steel suit will be very fast. 

Fortunately, Tony’s suit materials are far better than those used by Hammer Industries, and the conventional weapons of these mechanical soldiers basically can’t hurt him. 

“Sir, we are close to the target…” 

At this time, several helicopters approached the battlefield of Iron Man. 

They wanted to aim their guns at the mechanical soldiers to lock them on target, but their maneuvering speed was too fast, and human reaction could not keep up. 

“We can’t lock the target, the opponent is moving too fast!” 

On the rooftop, Mathison really didn’t know what to say. The co-authored police are really useless at everything… except for evacuating the crowd? 

It seems that, in the end, it is really necessary for him to play. 

“Ta-Da-Da-Da…” 

Suddenly, an eager machine gun sounded from the sky. 

An oddly-shaped black warplane from nowhere burst them on fire! 

Even Tony in the battle group was within the range of that firepower. 

“This guy actually brought the Batwing over!” 

Mathison was stunned by the sudden scene, he thought Batman had left the fair. 

The Batwing’s firepower was very fierce, and it soon destroyed three or five mechanical soldiers. 

The wreckage of steel fell from the sky to the ground. 

“Hey, which side are you on?” 

Tony shouted angrily. 

“The armor thickness of these robots is much worse than yours. I adjusted the firepower output making it impossible to harm you.” 

Batman’s hoarse voice emerged from the fighter plane. 

Even through the heavy armor, Tony could feel Batman’s “indifference”. 

“Boom!” 

At this time, the Batwing launched a dozen micro missiles which flew towards the mechanical legion. 

The mechanical soldiers also fired rockets at the same time, trying to intercept Batman’s micro missiles. 

However, ten mechanical soldiers were still destroyed. 

The mechanical soldier’s rockets hit the Batwing, but they were not even qualified to shake it. 

Batman usually doesn’t use these weapons, because he never kills people, no matter if they are good or bad. 

Obviously, robots are not humans, so Batman’s fighting style got much rougher than usual. 

“Is this Batman?” 

In Hammer Industry, Ivan looked at the picture on the monitor with a gloomy face. 

“How did he fly the Batwing to New York?” 

Ivan looked at the time, and then at the Whiplash suit that had been prepared behind him. 

He seemed to be considering whether to put it on and kill Tony himself. 

It didn’t take long for Ivan to shake his head and grin morbidly with a strange grin. 

“Now is not the time, not yet…” 

“In the sky, the firepower of the Batwing is difficult to resist, so let’s put the battlefield on the ground.” 

Ivan muttered to himself insidiously. 

“Originally, I only wanted to kill Tony alone. Now, you guys are forcing me to have to shoot civilians.” 

“Ha ha ha ha…”
