On the private island's beach, there were 50,000 robots, 1,000 steel armors, and 500 machine creatures. Additionally, there were 10,000 diverse mobile fortresses spread around.
Among them, the flying ants formed an enormous, undulating black mass that seemed beyond count.
With this formidable array, Christopher felt assured he could take on SHIELD.
The private island belonged to Christopher, but bringing the war here would devastate it. So, he led the charge against SHIELD, leaving behind a small contingent of giant lizards, mobile fortresses, flying ants, robots, and machine creatures as a precaution.
"Natasha, are you prepared?" Christopher asked Natasha beside him.
Nervously, Natasha nodded. "Ready."
Her nerves stemmed not from fear of SHIELD but from the responsibility of commanding such a vast army for the first time.
Christopher signaled, "Let's move."
The lizard army swiftly traversed the sea with booming echoes. Meanwhile, various mobile fortresses deployed: some sailed on water, others submerged, and a few ascended into the sky.
A constant buzzing filled the air as swarms of flying ants obscured the sky and earth like a moving mountain.
Amid crackling sounds, mechanical creatures—unable to fly or attack remotely—moved swiftly, riding on the backs of giant lizards or atop robots.
Christopher, with control over the global network and satellites, had real-time updates on SHIELD's movements, while SHIELD remained unaware of his capabilities.
But what left him speechless was General Ross actually bringing a large number of troops to attack the private island.
One against two.
The arrow is on the string and has to be shot.
Christopher had set out ahead of time.
He reached the seaside, regrouped his team, and SHIELD arrived late.
SHIELD maneuvered a massive air carrier into the sky, activating stealth mode.
Optimus noticed it.
Christopher entrusted all troops to Natasha.
He alone, driving a Transformer, led the charge against SHIELD.
With such a large team, how could SHIELD miss them?
Hawkeye spotted Christopher's substantial force and quickly informed Fury: "Director, Christopher is down there with a sizable force, including lizards, robots, and flying ants. They look formidable."
"Everyone, prepare for battle," Fury ordered.
"Director, Christopher is piloting the Transformers and is leading the attack," Hill reminded.
"Attack! Use the air carrier's turrets to take him down," Fury commanded.
Boom boom boom...
Countless shells rained down on Christopher.
Christopher dodged while controlling the missile launcher on his shoulder, firing all missiles in one go.
Next, he launched guided lethal bombs and other heavy weaponry.
The Minigun and Gatling guns on the Transformers blazed ahead, intercepting shells that couldn't be avoided.
Despite their size, the Transformers evaded many hits from the enemy.
Unlike SHIELD's air carrier, which was an easy target.
SHIELD managed to intercept some of Christopher's missiles, but a few got through.
Boom boom boom...
Missiles struck the underside of the airborne carrier, disabling stealth mode and punching several holes.
A loud bang followed.
Christopher couldn't evade the relentless artillery and took a hit.
He plummeted from the sky.
Boom -
A massive crater, over ten meters wide, marked his impact.
Transformers' durability wasn't just talk. Downed but undamaged, Christopher resumed his onslaught against SHIELD.
"Attack!" Natasha commanded, signaling the flying ant swarms, robot legions, mobile fortresses, and mechanized creatures.
Countless giant ants, robots, and fortresses swarmed towards SHIELD.
Mechanical creatures clambered onto robot backs, joining the assault on SHIELD.
Natasha followed from afar, soaring high above the battlefield, shielded by layers of sturdy armor.
She's the commander; her role is to lead, not to engage directly in combat.
Da da da...
Boom boom boom...
Bang bang bang...
Ah ah ah...
The war erupted, a chaotic symphony of weapons and ammunition clashing freely.
A multitude of flying ants, robots, and airborne fortresses were repelled by SHIELD's defenses.
But with each wave, the air carrier sustained heavier blows from these relentless assaults.
After some casualties, Christopher's forces neared the air carrier. Enlarged by some strange means, the giant flying ants were impervious to standard weapons but tore into each other in frenzy.
Their sheer numbers overwhelmed any attempt at extermination.
As the swarm landed on the air carrier's deck, SHIELD personnel sought cover, firing through openings to fend off the onslaught.
The robots arrived, battering the air carrier's doors, allowing the flying ants access.
SHIELD's strongest attempted to hold them back, but the robots persisted.
Then came Dr. Octavius's mechanical creations.
Some infiltrated through shooting holes, water vents, and air ducts.
Swift and deadly in close quarters, they wrought havoc upon entry.
SHIELD's regular soldiers proved no match; only the truly formidable could halt the mechanical onslaught.
Boom boom...
Amidst the chaos, the robots breached a room.
Seizing the opportunity, the giant ants followed suit.
SHIELD's command center.
On surveillance, SHIELD's agents watched Christopher's team with alarm.
"Director, what's our move? Christopher's monsters are overwhelming us—they're powerful and numerous," Hill exclaimed urgently.
"We hold our ground. The air carrier provides cover; we can chip away at their numbers and nullify their advantage," Fury countered with a strategic calm.
Boom—
The carrier trembled violently.
"What's happening?" Fury demanded.
A technician reported, "Director, Christopher's taken out Engine 2."
"Hawkeye, go after Christopher," Fury ordered swiftly.
"Yes, Director," Hawkeye acknowledged, departing with a small team.
Christopher still had a hundred thousand giant lizards poised for ground combat, ensuring the need to neutralize the airborne threat.
Boom—
Another engine succumbed to Christopher's onslaught.
As he targeted the third engine, a massive arrow struck.
Boom—
The arrow pierced the Transformer's chest, halted only by its reinforced plating.
Christopher spotted Hawkeye, handling a colossal crossbow.
Reacting swiftly, he manned a Gatling gun, unleashing a barrage at Hawkeye.
Hawkeye fired another arrow, this one equipped with a steel cable.
