Paladin of Asgard Chapter 592: [Elevator War]
The masked man fled to the distance, and was about to climb over the roof and disappear.
Immediately, Steve summoned the Holy Light Warhorse, a dazzling light flashed, and a half-real, half-solid golden steed jumped up to carry him, passing a bright trajectory in the night sky.
Riding the holy spirit horse, Steve crossed a distance of tens of meters in an instant, and easily caught up with the masked man.
The Fist of Judgment!
For most paladins, the power of attack spells is completely different whether they have weapons in their hands or not.
But Steve is a special case. His flawless heroic character gives him an extraordinary affinity and control over the Holy Light, so the impact of weapons is much smaller.
The sandbag-sized fist shone with holy light, and it hit the masked man's back with one blow!
Under the blessing of the speed of the holy spirit war horse, this golden punch directly sent the masked man flying, and spit blood from the mouth, which overflowed from the gap in the mask.
The masked man fell unconscious on the ground.
Steve stepped forward, leaned over to take off his mask, and then froze, eyes full of disbelief.
"Bucky!"
Under the mask, there was a face he was all too familiar with, Bucky Barnes, a close comrade in arms he met during World War II.
Seventy years ago, the two fought side by side on the European battlefield against Nazi Germany.
When Bucky fell from the train on the snow-capped mountain, Steve thought he would never see him again in this lifetime, but he never expected that the two would meet again in such a scene after seventy years.
Steve still couldn't believe it.
Although the appearance of this masked man is exactly the same as Bucky in his memory, he doesn't seem to know him at all, and his appearance has not changed from seventy years ago. Year?
Maybe just a lookalike?
But the similarity is too high.
Steve looked at a scar behind the masked man's ear, the birth of which he saw with his own eyes.
Steve frowned, and then made a decision.
This masked person should be Bucky, but the current Bucky is obviously not in a normal state, and seems to be brainwashed and controlled by someone. As a matter of urgency, he should send Bucky to a safe enough place.
According to Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D. has fallen.
He didn't know of a safe enough place outside of S.H.I.E.L.D. a few months ago, but after becoming a paladin, he knew of the existence of such a place.
Steve returned to the room with Bucky in a coma.
"Fury, come with me, I will take you to a place."
"Where are you going? No place is safe now, even SHIELD is under control." Fury said.
Steve didn't say any more, took Fury and set off. After a while, he came to a hidden street corner in New York. A bookstore was still open late at night, although there were no customers.
"Welcome, knight, are they your friends?" The store manager is an ordinary-looking white-haired old man, but in fact he is an old paladin, and this bookstore is also a silver A secular stronghold of the Hand, the Light is the knight's unspoken identification.
"Yes, we need help now," Steve said, "Is there anyone going to repent?"
"Repent?" The old knight frowned slightly, then realized something, and looked at the unconscious Bucky, "Has his mind been controlled?"
Steve nods.
The old knight said: "Repentance is a very profound spell, and there are not many knights who master it... But it just so happens that there is such a knight in New York."
"Dufrene?" Steve asked.
The old knight smiled and said, "Of course."
Dufresne is the most respected human paladin. He is the founder of the Golden Hand. All secular institutions of the knight order are managed by him. At the same time, he is also a powerful old knight. Well respected in the group.
"Duvran? The Golden Hand?" Fury said.
"Do you know the golden hand?"
Nick Fury smiled: "Of course, I am the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the Golden Hand gave me a car back then."
The store manager said: "It's very late now. If you're not in a hurry, we can go to Dufresne Knight tomorrow. You can rest here for a night."
"Okay." Steve thought for a while and nodded.
The next morning, they were about to take Bucky to find Knight Dufresne, but Steve's phone rang suddenly.
"It's a call from S.H.I.E.L.D."
Steve answered the phone, and the voice of Alexander Pierce came from his ear: "Captain, I heard that you have returned."
"Yes, Mr. Pierce."
"Very good, I'm the person in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. Now that you're back, come to S.H.I.E.L.D. as soon as possible." Hearing Pierce's voice, Nick Fury couldn't help clenching his fists .
Steve hesitated for a moment, then responded, "Okay, I'll go right away."
After he hung up the phone, Nick Fury said quickly: "Why did you agree to him? SHIELD is very dangerous now."
"Maybe." Steve said calmly, "but I have to investigate."
"You take Bucky to see Knight Dufresne, and I will go to S.H.I.E.L.D."
After speaking, Steve put his shield on his back and went straight to the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D.
"The Winter Soldier is out of touch, it must be Steve, he's coming now, what should we do?" said Crossbones Brock Rumlow ~IndoMTL.com~ maybe we should start with talk to him. "Alexander Pierce pondered.
"Do you think it is possible for us to persuade Steve Rogers to surrender?" Crossbones said, "Don't forget who the Winter Soldier used to be. Steve must have seen his true colors."
"What do you think should be done?" Pierce asked.
"Catch him, or kill him!" Crossbones clenched his fist. A good fighter even among the secret agents, he prefers to solve problems with his fists.
"Steve Rogers is here!"
"Why so fast, did he fly here?"
Pierce immediately ordered: "Rumlow, you take someone over immediately and catch Steve Rogers. If you really can't catch him, you can kill him on the spot."
"Don't worry, I will definitely capture him alive!" Crossbones smiled confidently, then turned and left.
Two minutes later.
Steve entered the elevator with the shield on his back, pressed the floor number and waited silently.
Although his shield has become the Dragonman Shield, the pattern remains the same, red and blue intertwined, with a five-pointed star drawn in the middle, as if taken from the Stars and Stripes, which makes his image look nothing like the past No change.
After a while, the elevator door opened halfway, Crossbones came in with a group of agents, and greeted casually: "Ah, long time no see, Captain."
"Long time no see, Rumlow." Steve responded.
However, he was keenly aware of something.
Looking at the agents swarming into the elevator, Steve understood that a battle was inevitable...
