Mordo chuckled when he heard Wang Yang's words, "Surprised, aren't you?"
"We, at Kamar-Taj, have a heritage of several centuries. Having this many sorcerers shouldn't be surprising. Additionally, within our magical artifact repository, there are quite a few powerful magical artifacts, including forbidden magical artifacts!"
"Forbidden magical artifacts?" Wang Yang was a bit surprised. Despite spending a considerable amount of time in Kamar-Taj, he had never heard of forbidden magical artifacts.
"Why haven't I heard of such things?" Wang Yang asked.
Mordo chuckled again, then replied, "Not many people know about this. Only a few Grand Sorcerers are aware, and you are among them. It's just that the opportunity to tell you didn't arise until now!"
"As sorcerers, apart from studying magic itself, we also research magical tools and instruments, among which are forbidden magical artifacts."
"These magical artifacts are similar to puppets, driven by magic. They can even unleash powerful magic and self-destruct. Due to their immense power and the unfair advantage they provide against sorcerers of the same level, they have been sealed away."
"That's why they are considered forbidden magical artifacts."
"Ordinarily, they cannot be used. However, this time, the Supreme Sorcerer and I discussed it. It can be used now. It's the first time the Supreme Sorcerer has suggested this, so it's a bit unexpected!"
"Perhaps the Supreme Sorcerer also knows what is about to happen this time!" Mordo speculated.
Hearing Mordo's words, Wang Yang couldn't help but smile. He had underestimated Kamar-Taj. He hadn't seen many sorcerers before, thinking that Kamar-Taj didn't have many. However, considering that the Supreme Sorcerer had been alive for over five hundred years, the time span of Kamar-Taj's existence must be enormous. In these years, they would undoubtedly have produced talented sorcerers, some developing new magic and magical tools.
Magical puppets didn't conflict with their practices. In movies, Kamar-Taj had various magical tools, like items that could immobilize people, boots that allowed walking on air, and capes that could fly. The appearance of a puppet wasn't that surprising.
Now that the Supreme Sorcerer had given up on death and delegated most tasks to them, he must have had faith that they could handle it. Wang Yang believed that if things became critical, the Supreme Sorcerer would still appear to help.
Protecting Earth and Kamar-Taj remained crucial for the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj. The number of sorcerers and the treasures of Kamar-Taj did bring him a pleasant surprise, relieving much of the pressure.
"In that case, let's gather everyone and practice using those magical tools to avoid being caught off guard during the war!" Wang Yang nodded and spoke.
Mordo was also serious; he understood the strength of Thanos and his formidable army. If they invaded, it would undoubtedly be a massive battle. Training was urgent.
"We will maintain the best condition. Rest assured, Wang Yang!" Mordo said solemnly.
"Good, then I'll leave everything here to you, Grand Sorcerer Mordo!" Wang Yang nodded.
He trusted the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, but he also needed to unite with external forces. Relying solely on a few Avengers, as seen in the movies, was too individualistic and unrealistic. Even if they were powerful, without the support of many, they wouldn't be able to resist. Even if they could resist, it would lead to significant casualties.
"You should contact the external forces. Rest assured, I'll take care of things here!" Mordo guessed Wang Yang's intentions and nodded.
"Yeah, although the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj are powerful, Thanos has too many forces. Relying solely on us won't be enough to resist comprehensively!" Wang Yang agreed.
"Yes, you're right!" Mordo nodded.
Then, Wang Yang raised his hand and drew a circle, stepping into it. Moments later, he appeared in Stark Tower.
However, what he saw here was unexpected. In addition to the members of the Avengers, Thor, the King of Wakanda, Black Panther, and even the Winter Soldier were gathered.
Clearly, they were in the midst of a discussion.
It wasn't surprising, considering they had been in contact after the Civil War. When Thanos invaded, they had fought together in the Battle of Wakanda.
After Wang Yang's appearance, they all looked surprised, then stood up, greeting him. Not to mention Wang Yang's formidable strength, he had saved them countless times. Without him during the Civil War, they might have gone separate ways.
"Wang Yang, Sorcerer!"
Wang Yang nodded, "No need to be so polite. Did you all know I was coming to find you this time?"
He initially thought he would have to go to multiple places this time, but to his surprise, everyone was already here.
"Oh, Wang Yang, did you intentionally come to find us this time?" Tony Stark asked with some surprise.
"Yes, I came for the matter of Thanos!" Wang Yang replied.
Upon hearing this, everyone present became solemn. The members of the Avengers were also concerned about the impending threat of Thanos. Thor, in particular, was enraged by the losses suffered in Asgard during the invasion. Although Asgard had not been destroyed, the invasion had caused significant casualties. Thor, as the prince and now the de facto leader, felt a deep responsibility for his people.
Upon learning that Loki was on Earth, Thor rushed to join the fight, confident that gathering ten thousand Asgardian warriors wouldn't be an issue. He believed they could join forces with Earth's Avengers to resist Thanos.
However, before they could start their discussions, they were surprised to see Wang Yang appearing.
"Wang Yang, do you know how powerful Thanos really is?" Captain America frowned, voicing the uncertainty they all had about Thanos' true strength.
Wang Yang's capabilities were well-known to them, but the fact that even someone as powerful as him needed to contact them raised concerns.
"The information from General Thanos Blade indicates that Thanos' army is extremely formidable. If we can't resist, many will suffer," Wang Yang said with a touch of helplessness.
The Avengers members were already aware of the intelligence gathered by General Thanos Blade. Now, hearing it again from Wang Yang, they fell into a contemplative silence.
Although Thanos' army might not be the most powerful in the universe, Earth had few who could stand against them. The vast army of bio-enhanced soldiers, along with a powerful space fleet, was beyond the capabilities of Earth's military. Only the Wakandan tribes, with their advanced technology, stood a chance. However, hearing Wang Yang's words gave the Avengers a glimmer of hope.
"You don't need to worry too much. This time, it's not just you participating in the battle. Kamar-Taj will send fifty thousand sorcerers, along with forces from Asgard and Wakanda. We should be able to resist Thanos' army without too much difficulty," Wang Yang reassured them.
Thanos' army, as a space fleet, likely had hundreds of thousands of troops, mostly comprised of bio-enhanced vanguard units. With the combined forces of Earth, Kamar-Taj, Asgard, and Wakanda, Wang Yang believed they could withstand the invasion.
"I can also provide dozens of sets of armor controlled by Friday. They should contribute a considerable amount of firepower," Tony Stark offered after a moment of thought.
However, he was cautious due to the previous incident with Ultron. He couldn't create too many armors as they would be challenging to control.
"That's enough," Wang Yang said, satisfied with their current strength. While Thanos was undoubtedly powerful, his true concern was the overwhelming number of his forces. With their current alliance, they stood a chance.
"The main threat now is Thanos' fleet," Wang Yang added.
