Although the Dragon-shaped Aircraft's assault on the Energy Shield looked terrifying, the combined efforts of the warriors from the various tribes managed to keep the situation under control.
However, after their initial failed attempt to force their way through, the Chitauri soldiers switched to their energy weapons. Instantly, the Energy Shield was bombarded with high-voltage energy.
"Okoye, form the King's Guard into a line! We need to open a breach to stabilize the Energy Shield!" the Old King commanded.
Five minutes later, a breach about two meters wide opened in the Energy Shield. Like sharks smelling blood, the Chitauri soldiers swarmed toward the opening in an unstoppable tide.
The King's Guard, already in formation, blocked the breach. Their spears transformed into high-density energy weapons, unleashing a continuous barrage of shots into the opening.
Dense blue energy beams rained down on the breach, and waves of Chitauri soldiers fell one after another as they tried to advance.
From above, the scene was both breathtaking and immensely satisfying, like playing a tower defense game.
It was precisely because this breach had been opened that Dr. Banner, just a few minutes later, detected the Cosmic Cube's signal.
Hawkeye shook his throbbing head. Fragments of his memories from the time he was under control surged back, but he couldn't piece them together into a complete picture.
As the pain in his head intensified, Hawkeye instinctively tried to clutch his head, only to find his arms bound tightly to his body, rendering him completely immobile.
"Agh!"
His face contorted in agony, veins bulging as he let out an uncontrollable cry.
Only then did he slowly open his eyes.
Standing beside him were two Black women in strange red uniforms, each holding a spear, watching him from either side.
Hawkeye himself lay bound on the grass.
The Old King sat on a folding chair brought over by Okoye. Behind him stood Okoye and Black Panther, both watching the awakening Hawkeye with curiosity.
"Awake? Now that you're awake, explain yourself—what's the deal with these aliens?"
The Old King asked Hawkeye with a neutral expression.
Even though his memories from being mind-controlled were all fragmented, Hawkeye could still piece together what had happened.
"I never expected there really was an army. It's an alien civilization, the Chitauri. They've come to Earth because..."
There was no longer any need to hide anything. Hawkeye rattled off everything—S.H.I.E.L.D., the Cosmic Cube, Loki—to the Old King.
"I need to make a call," Hawkeye said, struggling to sit up. "This portal can't be closed by conventional means. Who knows what else might come through? I have to make a call!"
"A call? To bring more of your alien accomplices to Earth?" Okoye said coldly.
She and Black Panther had just led the assault, attempting to shut down the Cosmic Cube directly, only to fail. Two of her soldiers had even died in the process.
It was no wonder she was in no mood to be lenient with Hawkeye.
The Old King remained noncommittal, his gaze still fixed on Black Panther.
"The so-called Cosmic Cube... The energy shield's readings are unimaginably high. We truly have no way to close that wormhole in the sky for now. Even if we eventually find a solution, who knows how many more people will be sacrificed in the meantime? We've already lost several warriors today!"
"I think we should try trusting him!"
"I agree. Though I'm not certain of his relationship with those aliens, he hasn't lied about certain things—like his status as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent!"
The speaker was Black Panther's sister, Shuri. She appeared to be only fourteen or fifteen, yet even at her young age, she possessed unparalleled scientific talent.
Within Wakanda, they considered Shuri the world's most brilliant scientist, not Tony Stark as the outside world claimed.
"Shuri, when did you get here?" the Old King asked in surprise, though his tone held no real reproach. His daughter had always been fiercely independent.
"I've been here since he started telling those stories!"
Shuri held a tablet displaying Hawkeye's personal file from S.H.I.E.L.D.
"I just took a quick trip through S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database!"
She turned the tablet for her father to see, then glanced at Hawkeye's incredulous expression and smiled.
"Your firewall is actually quite good," she said. "It just happened to run into me."
Shuri hadn't just accessed Hawkeye's file; she had also uncovered S.H.I.E.L.D.'s project data on the Cosmic Cube. Combined with Hawkeye's own words, the two sources of information cross-verified each other, confirming his story was true.
"You can make a phone call," Black Panther said, crouching in front of Hawkeye with a phone in his hand. "But for security reasons, please cooperate and don't leave our sight. We also can't return your equipment just yet."
He untied the ropes binding Hawkeye.
"Thanks," Hawkeye said softly, his gaze fixed on the distant sky. "But there's no need for the call. They're already here."
"S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Black Panther asked, standing up.
"No, the Avengers!" Hawkeye replied, his gaze fixed on two tiny black specks in the sky.
The two specks, barely visible even to Black Panther, were closing in at an astonishing speed.
Soon, two figures—one red, one black—streaked across the sky, crossed the energy shield's perimeter, and flew toward Black Panther, Hawkeye, and the others from opposite directions.
*Thump!*
Qin Xiao and Tony plummeted from the sky, their feet slamming into the grass with the force of their descent.
*Shink!*
The surrounding King's Guard raised their weapons.
The Old King waved his hand, signaling them to stand down.
"Qin Xiao, Tony Stark. I never imagined Wakanda would welcome both an alien invasion and two superheroes in a single day!"
"Hello, Your Majesty. First, we wouldn't call ourselves superheroes. And second, we're not the only ones who've arrived."
