#628 - Chapter 5: Fierce Battle (I)

However, Soundwave wasn't so lucky. At this moment, it was in a desperate situation, beset on all sides. Ahead were the relentless mech warriors, and behind them the fierce pursuit of the Autobots.

Soundwave finally truly felt the tenacity and difficulty of these enemies, watching helplessly as its subordinates fell one by one, their numbers dwindling. It couldn't help but curse Starscream, that disloyal fellow, for abandoning it on the battlefield.

Fortunately, despite Starscream's usual timidity and cautious behavior, it was reliable at critical moments.

Before long, it had successfully gathered a large number of powerful Decepticons as reinforcements, including combiner-type Decepticons. Of course, Megatron's orders were indispensable.

It turned out that when the Space Bridge opened, Sentinel Prime mercilessly blasted Megatron off the building. For the ever-proud Decepticon leader, this was undoubtedly a great humiliation. However, to revive Cybertron and restore its former glory, Megatron had to suppress the burning anger in its heart and swallow this insult.

At this moment, for the entire plan, it was a crucial node to transport Cybertron, and any mistake could lead to failure. No opportunity could be allowed for the enemy to obstruct it.

Therefore, Megatron made a decisive decision and quickly summoned all the surrounding Decepticons to reinforce. Although it was unclear why the Nemesis had suddenly crashed, as many as twenty gunboats and hundreds of Decepticon soldiers rushed to the scene.

Unexpectedly, the scale of the suddenly appearing mysterious armed force far exceeded the Decepticons' initial expectations. They emerged like a tide, with numbers exceeding five hundred, and unhesitatingly engaged in a fierce battle with the Decepticons. The weapons held by these uninvited guests were clearly highly targeted, and the bolter rounds fired from them posed a great threat to the Decepticons, with each bullet causing considerable damage upon impact.

Moreover, the armor they wore was sturdy and highly defensive. Even the Decepticons' weapons required multiple hits to destroy. Faced with such tricky and difficult opponents, the Decepticons were instantly plunged into a grueling battle.

Especially the mech warriors, once they engaged in close combat, their ferocity was unimaginable! Starscream personally witnessed a mech warrior easily wielding a gleaming chainsword axe, and with a crisp "crack," a Decepticon grunt was torn into countless pieces like paper, with oil and parts flying everywhere, a truly tragic sight.

At the same time, Bumblebee and the other Autobots were equally astonished. They couldn't understand where such powerful reinforcements had come from, as if they had appeared out of thin air, without any warning.

Not only were the Transformers shocked and surprised, but even the humans were also bewildered and at a loss. Street surveillance cameras faithfully recorded this thrilling scene and transmitted the footage to the Pentagon in real time.

A group of high-ranking generals sat around a huge screen, staring at the scene before them, each with their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an egg.

These generals were completely at a loss as to how to deal with this sudden situation. As the top leaders of the American military, they knew very well that this mysterious army did not belong to them. And the so-called United Nations badge worn by the other party was nothing more than a big joke in their eyes.

Navy Northern Command William Gortney frowned: "Where did these guys come from?"

General Morsell: "I don't know, I'm sure it's not my people."

National Guard Bureau Commander Frank Grass: "I don't care where they come from, I just want to know what we should do next?"

Finally, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley spoke: "Alright, gentlemen. No matter where this mysterious force comes from, at least they are on the side of humanity now. I propose that the previous plan remains the same, and all forces launch an attack. Defeat the Decepticons' conspiracy and save our civilization in one fell swoop."

"Yes!" With the chairman's words, all the generals agreed with the decision.

At the moment the order was issued, a deafening roar echoed within the vast army base in distant Ohio. Immediately afterwards, a barrage of cruise missiles, as dense as raindrops, soared into the sky, cutting through the air and speeding towards their targets with deadly force.

At the same time, in the outer areas of Chicago, a large number of U.S. troops on high alert began to move. Hundreds of armored vehicles and tanks, like a steel torrent, rushed towards the city, unstoppable. These powerful war machines relentlessly smashed through the collapsed ruins along the way, stirring up clouds of dust.

And in the sky above, hundreds of helicopters and fighter jets roared in, like a flock of fierce falcons. Countless air-to-air missiles poured out from under the wings of the warplanes, dragging long trails of fire and rushing towards the Decepticon warships at an alarming speed. In an instant, the sky seemed to be shrouded in a dazzling yet deadly barrage.

At this moment, the U.S. military had no time to worry about the safety of those civilians who had not yet been evacuated. The reason was simple: just looking up at the huge Cybertronian shadow above, which almost occupied the entire sky, was enough to understand that humanity was now at a critical juncture of life and death. The other five permanent members of the Security Council had already aimed their nuclear weapons at the United States. If the United States failed to cope with this crisis, they would not hesitate to take action themselves and completely eliminate the alien threat.

However, even in the face of the threat from the humans and Autobots not far away, Sentinel Prime was still fully focused on adjusting the control pillar. The Cybertronian shadow in the sky was gradually becoming more solid, and the pressure it exuded was becoming stronger, as if it would descend upon the world at any moment.

Sentinel Prime glared at Megatron, his voice cold and hostile: "It's not easy to successfully transmit the entire Cybertron to here, I need more time! And in the meantime, you'd better take effective measures to prevent the enemy from getting closer. If these guys really rush over and interrupt the critical transmission process, I can't even know what the consequences will be!"

Hearing this, Megatron roared in uncontrollable anger: "Shut your mouth! Instead of talking nonsense here, you should seize the time to do your own job. I care more about the safety of Cybertron than you do. Decepticons, listen up, all ships are to move out immediately and do everything in their power to annihilate the enemy! Leave no one alive!"

With Megatron's order, the Decepticon gunboats that were engaged in a fierce battle with the U.S. Air Force instantly reacted. About a third of the gunboats quickly turned around and flew back like a flock of fierce falcons.

Not only that, but even the remaining eleven assault ships, like steel behemoths, began to slowly converge towards the center of the battlefield. On this battlefield filled with smoke and fire, the situation became even more tense and fierce.

Just then, William, in the midst of the chaotic battle, grabbed a soldier next to him and shouted loudly: "Maddy, pay attention! Our Tomahawk cruise missiles will arrive soon, you quickly take some people to the high ground on both sides, and be sure to provide target guidance for these missiles! There must be no mistakes!"

After a bloody battle, the mech warriors demonstrated extremely powerful combat capabilities. With their superior performance and numbers, they had successfully repelled the Decepticons.

On the previous battlefield, Soundwave's once majestic body was now torn apart and lying broken on the ground full of dust and shell craters. This unfortunate fellow had just encountered a tidal wave of mech warriors and was torn apart by chainsword axes.

As the Autobots passed by, Bumblebee fired a few shots at the remains in revenge for Wheeljack, and then turned around and plunged back into the fierce battle without hesitation. What he didn't notice was that several mech warriors stepped forward to collect Wheeljack's and Soundwave's remains and transported them to the building in the rear.

However, at this moment, the warring parties were still separated by the wide Chicago River, fiercely firing at each other without showing any weakness. Dense artillery fire intertwined into a dazzling and deadly fire net, illuminating the entire riverbank. Neither side was willing to give up even half a step.

The several bridges connecting the two banks of the river were now firmly controlled by Butler Ducky, and they were slowly descending with the roar of machinery. The mech warriors in the front row jumped onto the bridges, gripping their gleaming chainsword axes, and fiercely pursued the fleeing Decepticons.

Looking at the previously crashed Nemesis warship, it was stranded in the middle of the river channel, belly up and in a state of disarray. Its wide hull could just serve as a temporary bridge, so a large number of mech warriors poured onto the ship like a surging flood, continuing to launch a courageous and fearless charge towards the opposite bank.

The spaceship, like a wounded beast, lay on the ground with its belly up. The hatches originally used to store various aircraft were now uncontrollably popping open, making a series of dull thuds. Some unlucky Decepticons were thrown into a daze when the ship crashed, and struggled to crawl out of the hatches with great difficulty.

However, as soon as they poked their heads out, before they could see the situation clearly, they were met with a head-on attack. A group of mech warriors, as fierce as wolves and as fast as lightning, rushed over, and the giant axes in their hands slashed down fiercely with a sharp sound, instantly beheading these Decepticons.

At the same time, other mech warriors rushed to the hatch without mercy. They raised their bolters and frantically swept the inside of the cabin without hesitation. Dense bullets poured in like raindrops, and a series of shrill screams and sharp metallic collisions echoed inside the ship. In the blink of an eye, the Decepticons suffered heavy casualties.

Just as the battle reached a fever pitch, suddenly, a dazzling beam of light shot up into the sky like lightning, directly piercing through the ship's hard shell. With a loud noise, a huge hole appeared in front of everyone. Then, a huge Decepticon slowly walked out of the hole.

This Decepticon was covered in a thick layer of purple armor, which shimmered with a cold light in the sunlight. Its scarlet eyes were like burning flames, revealing endless killing intent and majesty. Its deep voice echoed across the battlefield like thunder: "You tiny creatures, how dare you hurt my Astrotrain's subordinates!"

Faced with such a powerful enemy, the mech warriors closest to it did not retreat. They quickly adjusted their combat stances, gripped their battle axes tightly, and assumed a defensive posture. One of the mech warriors lunged straight at it.

But the Decepticon merely seemed to casually wave its arm, hitting the mech warrior with overwhelming force. With a loud bang, the mech warrior flew straight out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily on the hard ground in the distance, raising a cloud of dust.

The other mech warriors, ignoring their companion's fate, unhesitatingly launched a fierce attack. For a time, various bolter rounds rained down on the Decepticon's massive body like a mountain, and the powerful cannons equipped on its shoulders spewed out tongues of fire, sweeping away.

However, facing such a fierce and aggressive offensive, Astrotrain remained unmoved. A layer of light blue energy shield suddenly appeared around it. Most of the incoming bolter rounds exploded in a burst of dazzling fire upon touching the shield. Even if a small number of weakened bolter rounds were lucky enough to penetrate the shield, they could not break through the Decepticon's incredibly thick and solid armor, and could only leave some shallow scratches on it.

At this time, Astrotrain, who had been waiting for an opportunity to attack, could finally no longer restrain itself. With the sudden burst of its rear vector thrusters, it suddenly rushed forward like a wild horse, and in the blink of an eye, Astrotrain had rushed into the ranks of the mech warriors like lightning.

It should be known that Astrotrain has a massive size comparable to Jetfire, while the mech warriors, who are only three meters tall, are simply like children in comparison. As Astrotrain rampaged, these mech warriors were knocked away one after another, like bowling pins being hit by a bowling ball.
