Loki, having just deceived humans, looked through her Magic Eye left nearby Earth, only to find it utterly deserted, with no trace of battleships.
She frowned, picked up her Magic Wand and pointed it at the sky. A phantom shadow appeared in front of her.
It was a Chitauri individual, slightly different from others as it had a more refined exoskeleton and an even more robust frame.
"General Dorian, didn't we agree on a timing? How come your armies haven't arrived yet?"
"We indeed have launched three warships into the battlefield just now! But they vanished right away, please wait, let me look into it…"
Mastering the art of negotiation, Loki pretended to be unsatisfied and retorted: "Even amongst the civilization of Chitauri, you are not the only ally for me. I am guessing the Royalist Faction and Prince will show interest in entering the Nine Major Kingdoms."
"Wait, it won't be long!" The person known as General Dorian wiped his forehead, touched his nose, appearing a bit tense. He continuously shouted into the communicator, but no one answered.
Like losing her patience, Loki voiced: "I misjudged you! I asked to evaluate your ability, and to prevent any losses, I purposefully chose an easy target for you. Yet, you couldn't even manage to locate your own warships?!"
Loki sighed deeply, saying: "Originally, I decided to cooperate with Chitauri because of your Will-class Battleships. Except for those, what else could catch the eyes of Asgardians?"
"Even Will-class Battleships are vastly inferior to our Ocean Sails, but these Sail Warships are just the lowest level of spacecraft in Asgard. There are several grades of warships above that, and the Rainbow Bridge."
Loki's words were filled with arrogance, but Dorian couldn't argue back. The civilization level of Chitauri was indeed incomparable to Asgard, even though Asgardians mainly fight as individuals, their military equipment was not lacking.
"You better be quick, I am losing patience. If you can't do it, I will contact the Royalist Faction now. With the connection to the Royal Family, they should be able to mobilize a Will-class Battleship, right?"
"If you can't even deal with the weak Earthlings, how can you help me reclaim my throne? If you lack this much skill, why should I help you work for free?"
"Wait!" Dorian shouted, saying: "I too can mobilize a Will-class Battleship, I have the authority!"
"Yes, that was the case before. But don't think I'm not aware, after being removed from the power center, your authority is just an empty title now. Can you even sneak into the control center to call the troops?"
Dorian took a deep breath to calm himself, then said: "I can't sneak in, but I have people in the control center…"
"Now, there are two Will-class starships near our home planet performing security tasks. Only one starship flew further away. If I can redirect that distant warship and get it back on the scheduled time, nobody will discover it."
"Fine, better be quick. By now, Earthlings must have noticed your warships. Ordinary humans may not recognize it, but Earth has the Supreme Magician and other alien beings lurking. If they report this to my Imperial Brother, we are all doomed."
"Rest assured!" Dorian clenched his teeth: "Don't forget, the conditions we agreed upon earlier. I help you recapture the Fairy Palace, you help me overthrow the royal authority and make me the Emperor of the Chitauri…"
"You've experienced my power before, haven't you? The royal family of the Chitauri can't even handle a single move from me."
Loki ran her fingers through her hair, speaking to the person on the other end: "Hurry up. If you wait any longer, you'll have the Rainbow Bridge fall right on your head."
Loki hung up the phone, then redialed Stark and said: "Don't worry, I asked them to send a Will-class Battleship over, this time there should be no problem."
Stark's mouth fell open, he thought about changing the plan, but his mind settled on the current situation. If all Chitauri forces were drawn here to fill this pit, wouldn't they be able to rule Chitauri directly later?
With this train of thought, Stark no longer pressed Strange for switching sides at the last minute. He immediately began operations on the control panel, then connected with the Avengers Base communication system.
Before he could speak, Steve on the other side asked anxiously: "What happened? What happened? Did the plan change? Where are the warships? Why did they disappear as soon as they appeared?"
Natasha also leaned towards the phone and added: "I saw it, those warships seem to have exploded. Just now, Director Nick asked me if he could go up and pick up trash?"
What Stark initially planned to say was to appease the public's nerves, but Nick's question left him speechless."
Seeing several spaceships explode near to Earth, the first thing that came to Nick Fury's mind was actually to collect the debris.
But one couldn't deny that his thinking made sense. Compared to the Kree or Asgard, the technology of the Chitauri was inferior, but it was far advanced than the human civilization."
But this inferiority had its advantages. The Kree Guard Ship's technology was difficult to crack, since their material science was way too advanced for Earth. The tech of Asgard was also inaccessible due to the exceptionally strong individual Asgardians rendering their tech development path completely off and not suitable for humans.
