"I didn't expect that within Green Goblin's stronghold, apart from him, there are four other heavily armed combatants. They seem to possess formidable strength!"
Influenced by the warning conveyed by Bucky, T'Challa became much more cautious in his approach to confronting Green Goblin.
Upon reaching the location he had pinpointed as Green Goblin's hideout, T'Challa didn't immediately charge in with Bucky to launch an attack. Instead, they took cover on a hill outside the farm, observing the situation within.
Quickly, T'Challa noticed the unusual aspects of the situation. The farm's surroundings were clearly fortified extensively, containing hidden intrusion alarm systems. With T'Challa's keen eyesight, he also discerned traces of traps and countermeasures set up around the area.
Inside the farm's buildings, there was even tighter security. The walls were reinforced with special metal plates designed to withstand armor-piercing sniper rounds. All windows were fitted with composite bulletproof glass and tightly closed curtains.
If it weren't for the infrared vision capability of T'Challa's Black Panther suit, rushing into the farm recklessly with Bucky might have exposed them to the alarm mechanisms within the farm and the unexpected presence of the four armed individuals.
Upon hearing T'Challa's description of the situation within Green Goblin's hideout, Bucky's mind began to rapidly analyze the situation. Years of combat and mission experience enabled him to swiftly formulate strategies appropriate for the current circumstances.
"T'Challa, we'll break through head-on in a moment. Given that the enemy has already set up such alarm mechanisms, silently infiltrating for a surprise attack is evidently not feasible.
Instead of expanding efforts to evade those traps and devices, it's better to directly destroy them using force. I have high-explosive grenades developed by Mark. After I destroy these traps, I'll move in first to engage Green Goblin's four accomplices.
You should follow closely and directly confront Green Goblin. If either of us encounters any unforeseen events, we must immediately send out a distress signal. If both of us find ourselves in unfavorable situations, we should regroup quickly and retreat together.
Once our safety is ensured, we can strategize further on dealing with Green Goblin."
"Agreed!" T'Challa didn't waste words and directly nodded in approval of Bucky's proposed plan of action.
The strategy covered various potential scenarios they might encounter, showing comprehensive consideration. T'Challa had nothing to add.
As Bucky had said, the top priority was ensuring their own safety. Only under this premise would T'Challa's revenge hold meaning and value.
After receiving T'Challa's agreement, Bucky made some adjustments and preparations, swiftly transitioning into a combat-ready state.
Gripping the high-explosive grenade in his hand, he pulled the pin and swiftly charged toward his target.
Following the plan he had formulated, after using the grenades to destroy various external devices, Bucky swung his metallic arm to break down the farmhouse door and launched an assault on the four heavily armed combatants inside.
But in the initial clash, Bucky was completely shocked: "How is this possible? How did you end up here?"
Bucky looked incredulously at the four individuals he was currently engaging with. Each face brought back memories he would rather forget—memories from his time with Hydra.
As someone who had been directly involved in the creation of these Winter Soldiers, Bucky was all too familiar with their faces.
The super-soldier serum that enhanced their abilities was stolen by him after he killed Howard and Maria Stark. The combat and fighting skills they possessed were taught to them by Bucky himself. And these killing machines, products of his work, were ultimately frozen and sealed under his own eyes.
With Hydra having been nearly eradicated by now, Bucky never imagined he would have another encounter with these Winter Soldiers, let alone that they would become accomplices of the Green Goblin, engaging him in battle.
Regardless of how shocked Bucky felt, he had to stick to the plan he had originally formulated. His task was to intercept and restrain these four individuals before T'Challa could proceed through and confront the Green Goblin. Even if the difficulty of this mission was exceptionally high...
It's important to note that according to Hydra's standards, the completion of a Winter Soldier's enhancement and training meant their strength was no longer inferior to Bucky's.
Even with his own lack of experience, the numerical advantage of the four attackers compensated for this weakness. Consequently, Bucky appeared somewhat overwhelmed as he faced the four Winter Soldiers, often being struck in vulnerable areas due to his inability to block their attacks in time.
Were it not for Bucky also having undergone enhancement, the force behind the Winter Soldiers' attacks, driven by their full-bodied strength, would have killed him already. He wouldn't have been able to hold back their actions in any way.
Suddenly, Bucky sensed a faint breeze behind him and glimpsed a swift black figure. He knew that T'Challa had adhered to the prearranged plan and confronted the Green Goblin.
At that moment, Bucky immediately altered his approach. Instead of entangling with the enemy, he began to shift backward, all the while taking out a familiar-looking grenade. Pulling the pin, he struck his metallic arm to activate the detonator and then threw it forward while retreating.
The sequence of actions flowed seamlessly, and the throw was accurate. Boom—!
At the instant the grenade landed amidst the four Winter Soldiers, they hadn't even had time to react or evade. The deafening explosion and scorching flames swiftly engulfed them.
Under the instantaneous high temperatures, not even their bones remained. Amidst the blackened blast center, their remnants were indistinguishable—only Bucky, lying prone and battered by the explosion's force, bore evidence of their existence.
With his opponents successfully neutralized, Bucky finally let out a breath of relief. Enduring the pain from his injuries, he got up from the ground and prepared to locate T'Challa, assessing the situation between T'Challa and the Green Goblin.
However, just as Bucky steadied himself on his feet, his pupils suddenly contracted, a look of astonishment crossing his face as he gazed at the location of the explosion...
