Kyle, Steve, and the hostage desded rapidly through the frigid wind and snowfkes from heights of several hundred meters above the gcial valley. Meanwhile, a dozen or so train cars tumbled and rolled down the mountainside, exploding as they went down.

  Freefalling from such a height, even experienced parachutists would find it challenging. But this time, they had no parachutes or any other means of escape.

  The physical prowess of a Super Soldier, while extraordinary, remained within the range of human perfe, a Super Soldier is capable of withstanding three to five times the amount of lethal stress pared to an ordinary person but plunging hundreds of meters from a cliff edge, this should have been a certaih sario for anyone including them.

  Just moments before jumping from the train car, Steve still couldn't prehend any means of survival in such a situation.

  However, Steve didn't hesitate to jump because Kyle had beeing miracles siheir days iraining base. Kyle had always been at the forefront, leading and guiding him like a pioneer.

  More importantly, Steve believed in Kyle, and that was enough. Kyle himself didn't think as much as Steve did. After jumping from the train car, he raised his hands toward the sky, as if waiting for something.

  At this moment, thousands of meters above the gcial mountain range.

  "Swoosh!" A faint blue figure swiftly tore through the atmospheric clouds. Its sharp golden eagle eyes gazed downward as its massive wings, adorned with abundahers, abruptly folded, and its head poiowards the ground, diving downwards.

  It resembled an arrow, breaking the sound barrier within an instant and leaving a series of white shockwaves in the sky.

  "It's here." Kyle's lips curled into a smile as he withe narrow opening in the cloud yer. He had already summohe Blue Eagle during this period and had it patrol the sky within a few miles of his position, creating an exclusive airspace for himself.

  After all, he had bee a major threat to the German military and the Hydra anization. A month ago, enemy aircraft had been deployed to the battlefield, attempting to bomb him and Steve.

  The Blue Eagle's flight maneuverability was exceptional. In a one-on-one enter with a single fighter jet, it could maneuver behind the oppo before they even noticed its presend strike with its sharp cws.

  The lifeform summoned by the Lifeform Card formed a close, obedient bond with the Cardholder, eveablishing a subtle eleagiioween them. However, maintaining the summoate of the Lifeform Card for aended period required providing it with daily sustenance.

  "What's ing?" Steve asked with a surprised look on his face. His gaze had been fixed on the ground as they tio fall rapidly.

  Kyle had yet to expin when, in the instant, a massive shadow cast over them, apanied by a powerful gust of wind.

  "Chirp!" The Blue Eagle let out a clear cry as it swiftly approached, catg Kyle with its body first, and then using one of its cws to firmly grip Steve along with the hostage.

  "Oh my, what kind of bird is this?" Steve was startled as he looked back at the Blue Eagle, with its wingspan of nearly teers wide and his mouth gaped in astonishment.

  "Chirp chirp." The Blue Eagle g Steve with its cwed foot. Its wings fpped, tearing apart the wind and snow below, creating a localized hurrie as it asded into the sky.

  Steve was a little dazed aantly said, "I feel like it's looking down on me."

  Kyle, sitting on the Blue Eagle's neck, said, "It's a type of Eagle. He is very intelligent, with the mental capacity of a ten-year-old child."

  "I've never seen such a rge eagle before." Steve, knowing they had escaped the danger, rexed a bit and chuckled, "By the way, how e you're sitting on it while I'm caught in its cws?"

  "Well…" Kyle paused as if lost in thought. He began to weave a story and said, "I met it when I was a child in the forests on the mountains. Back then, the Blue Eagle was the same size as a normal eagle. Later, it was ied by a radioactive medit from a factory, causing its body to undergo mutations. Not only did its feathers ge color, but it also grew rger."

  "I see." Steve nodded, accepting Kyle's words without doubt or further questions, simply trusting him.

  "Steve, after we return, I hope you won't reveal the Blue Eagle's existeo anyone, including Agent Carter."

  Kyle gently stroked the feathers on the Blue Eagle's head and got straight to the point. "The Blue Eagle won't harm humans, and it only feeds on the beasts and wild animals in the mountains. If certain individuals with ill iioo learn about its existehey might try to hunt it down."

  "Alright, I won't say anything," Steve promptly agreed.

  Kyle also felt a sense of relief when he hears this. For the Marvel World, the appearance of lifeforms like the Blue Eagle was still a bit early.

  In the 21st tury and beyond, with various mutations and the stant advas in teology, mythological beings like the God of Thunder and Loki would casually visit Earth. Coupled with alien teology and the existenagic expanding the mi of humans, the existence of the Blue Eagle would be less of a surprise.

  After the Blue Eagle safely carried the three of them away from the valley, it gently hem in the snowy terrain surrounding the mountains. Then, with a powerful beat of its wings, it disappeared into the high clouds.

  Kyle and Steve, along with their captive, hurried towards the prearranged meeting point to rendezvous with Fury's forces before returning to the base.

  That night, in the underground war room of the base…

  The rge-scale operational map covered the walls like aper, filled with markers and symbols. Six areas with fgpoles were marked with X's, indig they had been successfully eliminated.

  "That's the situation. Sergeant Bucky Barnes fell into the valley and died during the mission. The captive has been handed over to our specialists for interrogation."

  "The Hydra anization has now separated from the German military. Acc to our intelligence, Red Skull, the leader of Hydra, possesses a mysterious item that gee infinite energy."

  "Do we o seize that item? I haven't fotten about my grudge against Red Skull."

  "Of course, even if we don't create infinite energy, we ot allow Hydra to freely misuse it."

  At a spotlight-lit desk in the war room, Kyle, Steve, Agent Carter, and el, the base's anding officer, sat on chairs, discussing and deliberating.

  "Major Kyle, Lieutenant Steve, I need you both to be prepared!" The el sternly looked at Kyle and Steve across from him and early said, "If we obtain information on Red Skull's whereabouts from the captive in this mission, it will be up to you two to strike as the shield and sword."

  The shield represented Ameri justid prote, while the sword represented Ameri power and decisiveness.

  Though Kyle and Steve held respectable ranks, they wereremely high-ranking, yet their reputation and prestige within the try surpassed that of some Generals and Officers.

  Therefore, the base's anding officer, el, treated them with equal status and respect.

  Steve nodded in response, "Uood. I will make the necessary preparations in advand depart immediately once we receive any information."

  "As for Red Skull as the target, you don't o tell me twice— I will insist on going," Kyle said coldly.

  He still hadn't settled the score from their st enter!
