Doctor Strange Goes to Asgard, the Dark Elves Attack

The Nine Realms were gradually aligning, and the Convergence had begun. Asgard was under heavy guard. Important hubs were defended by large forces, while the towering palace, piled high like mountain peaks, was surrounded by gun towers kept active at all times against attacks from the sky. Ground troops patrolled rigorously. Armies led by numerous gods stood watch over Asgard day and night, while reserve forces lay concealed in the shadows, ready to respond to any attack against Asgard.
