#627 - Chapter 4: The Star Legion Appears
While the battle raged on the lower levels of the building, a massive Decepticon crashed through a window. This Decepticon was the elite officer Trigger, who had noticed something different about this human from outside the window. He didn't see the fear of ordinary people, nor the subservience of a Decepticon slave.
Facing the sudden appearance of the Decepticon, Liu Yuan merely glanced at it and ignored it. This infuriated Trigger. "Human, you're asking for death!" He swung his giant arm, his huge claws swiping at Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan's originally calm eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light. In that instant, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stop flowing. The arrogant Decepticon was helplessly pinned to the hard ground by an invisible, giant hand!
Trigger was completely dumbfounded. He didn't even know what had happened. He twisted his body desperately, trying to break free from the mysterious force, but all his efforts were in vain. He was still firmly suppressed and unable to move at all.
After struggling for a while, Trigger finally managed to lift his heavy head and asked in confusion, "Hu...human, who exactly are you? What have you done to me?"
However, Liu Yuan didn't pay any attention to Trigger's question. He turned his head expressionlessly and looked at an electronic screen beside him.
Alice's delicate face appeared on the screen. Alice reported quickly, "Master, just received the latest intelligence. The US military has taken action. They've gone all out this time, with approximately 50,000 ground troops gathering around Chicago, and they've also deployed 70 Tomahawk missiles! They are ready to launch an attack on the city at any time."
After listening to Alice's report, Liu Yuan pondered for a moment and asked, "So, has Sentinel Prime shown any unusual behavior?"
Alice quickly replied, "Returning to Master, Sentinel Prime has not taken action yet. Aurora analyzes that he is waiting for the best opportunity. However, the Autobots are not in a good situation. Several of their members have been captured alive by Starscream's team. These captured Autobots are very close to your location. If you look out the window, you should be able to see them."
Liu Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood the situation. Then, he turned his gaze to the Decepticon on the ground. "This guy looks unusual. Do you recognize him?"
Alice carefully examined him and gently shook her head, replying, "Sorry, Master, I have never seen this guy before." Her voice was clear and sweet.
Just then, another screen lit up, displaying Frenzy's头像. Frenzy said ingratiatingly, "Master, I recognize this guy! His name is Trigger, and he belongs to the Cybertron Defense Force led by Shockwave. He's a veteran member of the Decepticons."
Trigger's electronic eyes flickered non-stop, as if scrutinizing everything around him. When he heard the other party mention him, he keenly realized that there was something wrong with the seemingly ordinary human in front of him, that he even had Decepticons serving him. Although his body was unable to move at all, he reacted quickly. His shoulder began to combine and transform, extending two thick gun barrels from it.
Frenzy continued to introduce, "Also worth mentioning is that Trigger was quite famous during the Cybertronian civil war. He was one of the Decepticon artillery commanders and an excellent gunner with powerful firepower output capabilities."
Liu Yuan's lips curled slightly, revealing a subtle smile. He said softly, "Well, that's not hard to see. Look at his eager appearance, he's clearly not a simple character." As he spoke, he slowly extended his left hand and made a grasping motion in the air. In an instant, Trigger, who was originally lying on the ground, felt an overwhelming force descend from the sky without warning, tightly pressing him down.
"Ah! ~Pfft~ Crunch!" Accompanied by this series of chilling sounds, Trigger instantly suffered an irresistible force. His originally hard body was now like a fragile, easily crumpled aluminum can, rapidly twisting and deforming. In the blink of an eye, Trigger had been squeezed into a shapeless lump of metal, with only his head barely maintaining a relatively complete appearance.
Liu Yuan walked slowly past Trigger's already tragic body expressionlessly. He didn't even glance at it, but casually raised his hand and threw the scrap metal into the small world like discarding garbage. After all, Frenzy had mentioned earlier that Trigger was indeed a professional. That's why Liu Yuan spared his life.
At that moment, the outside scenery suddenly changed drastically! Countless transmission pillars rose abruptly like bamboo shoots after a rain. They shot straight into the sky at an unimaginable speed, reaching an altitude of 30,000 meters!
On top of the building where Sentinel Prime was located, a dazzling light suddenly shot out, as if tearing through the sky, directly towards the heavens. Undoubtedly, this was the powerful energy signal wave released by the successful activation of the control pillar.
In an instant, countless lightning bolts danced like silver snakes, crisscrossing in the air, connecting the transmission pillars standing high in the sky. With the blessing of the Matrix's powerful force, an unprecedentedly large space bridge was presented to the world.
Immediately afterward, a huge, shadowy figure that blotted out the sky quietly emerged. It was like an endless cloud, overwhelming the sky, almost covering the entire sky. As spatial fluctuations continued to spread outward, this powerful energy ripple quickly swept across the globe.
Most people on Earth, whether busy pedestrians in bustling cities or simple villagers in remote villages, stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky in astonishment. On the originally blue sky, there was a gigantic object that was beyond imagination.
It was a steel fortress like another moon, suspended in the air, seemingly getting closer and closer to Earth. The surface appeared to be made of metal, with complex and precise mechanical structures that were dazzling. It was the Cybertronian planet from another star system, forcibly pulled here across the distant universe by a mysterious force.
Liu Yuan stood on the balcony, gazing at the Cybertronian planet gradually forming in the sky. Even without binoculars, he could clearly see the streets and buildings on the planet's surface, crisscrossing like a steel jungle. However, these once glorious civilizations now appeared dilapidated, filled with desolation and death. But facing this scene, Liu Yuan did not show the slightest worry. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled knowingly before whispering, "Finally waited for this moment... It's time!" Before he finished speaking, he jumped without hesitation, falling straight down from the window dozens of stories high.
..............................
At the same time, by a bridge, several tall Autobots were being pinned to the ground by a group of vicious Decepticons. Among them were Ratchet, Bumblebee, Dino, and Wheeljack. After they were separated from Optimus Prime, they wanted to sneak into Sentinel Prime's vicinity. But they were unfortunately detected by Soundwave and blocked by the river. Starscream, eager to make a contribution, immediately led a large number of subordinates to reinforce them, successfully capturing this group of Autobots in one fell swoop.
At this moment, Starscream looked triumphantly at the subdued enemies under his feet and laughed arrogantly, "Haha, what a pleasant surprise! I can actually meet so many 'old friends' here. I'm just curious, is it really useful to capture so many prisoners?" He kicked Ratchet beside him with his toe, his eyes full of teasing.
Soundwave's cold and ruthless voice echoed in the air, "Hehehe, for our powerful Decepticons, we don't need so many prisoners at all. It's enough to obtain rich spoils." Before he finished speaking, he expressionlessly stretched out his huge metal arm and easily grabbed Wheeljack, who was closest to him, like a chicken. Then, he unhesitatingly kicked Wheeljack away.
Wheeljack was terrified and quickly raised his hands, trying to beg for mercy, constantly shouting, "Wait a minute, please wait a minute! We can totally sit down and talk, I really still have a lot of uses..." However, his pleas did not arouse Soundwave's slightest sympathy.
Only two loud "Bang~ Bang!" sounds were heard, and Soundwave mercilessly fired two shots in a row. The powerful artillery fire instantly hit Wheeljack, and Wheeljack's upper body had become tattered and miserable. With a burst of crackling sparks, Wheeljack's electronic eyes flickered a few times before finally drooping weakly.
Starscream, who witnessed all this from the side, couldn't help but show a trace of helplessness on his face. He shook his head and slowly said, "To be honest, you could have spared his life. After all, to rebuild our Cybertronian planet, it is still very useful to have people with high technology like Wheeljack." As Starscream, who had once served as governor, he was well aware of the needs of internal affairs management and various talents.
After hearing Starscream's words, Soundwave temporarily stopped his movements and turned to look at the other party, asking, "Oh? Do you mean, you want me to spare these guys?"
Starscream shook his head again and replied, "No, not really. I just think that the Wheeljack just now might indeed be a little useful, but the rest of these guys are of no value to us, so it's better to kill them all." As he said, he grabbed Bumblebee and threw him next to Wheeljack's body.
"It's finally your turn, Bumblebee! We can be regarded as old opponents, but this time, I will personally take care of you!" Starscream's狰狞 face approached Bumblebee, and the muzzle pointing at the other's head gradually lit up with a dazzling red light representing destruction and death.
Just as Starscream was about to pull the trigger, suddenly, a loud "Boom" was heard, as deafening as a thunderclap from the ground. Immediately afterward, a hot bolter round hit Starscream's shoulder with lightning speed. The powerful impact made his body suddenly tilt, his steps staggered, and he almost fell to the ground.
However, this was just the beginning. In an instant, dense, rain-like bullets came whistling, pouring down on the Decepticons. Almost every Decepticon member was not spared, and they were all covered by this fierce rain of bullets.
Faced with such a sudden attack, the Decepticons quickly reacted and unhesitatingly raised the guns and cannons in their hands, and fired back fiercely in the direction from which the bullets were coming. For a time, flames soared into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the entire battlefield fell into chaos.
In the rolling smoke, it could be vaguely seen that a large group of mecha warriors with a height of about three meters were constantly pouring out of the nearby buildings. They moved nimbly, their steps were uniform, and the metal shells on their bodies shone with a cold light. A closer look revealed that the helmets and chests of these mecha warriors were inlaid with a very eye-catching blue Earth logo. For Soundwave and Starscream, who often operated on Earth, they recognized at a glance that this was the logo of the United Nations.
"How is it possible, it's actually humans who came? And the Earthlings have weapons that can threaten us, they actually secretly possess such powerful armed forces!" This incredible, even absurd, idea flashed through the minds of the Decepticons like lightning. However, Starscream, who had experienced many battles, did not hesitate at all. After realizing that the situation was not good, he decisively transformed in an instant, turned into a fighter jet and took off, quickly flying away from this dangerous place.
Leaving Soundwave leading a group of miscellaneous soldiers, holding on here and engaging in fierce shooting with the mecha warriors. And at this thrilling moment, the Vengeance mothership, hanging high in the sky like a behemoth, suddenly experienced a series of deafening explosions! The mothership seemed to have lost control, like a violent beast, diving straight towards the ground, and finally plunged into the Chicago River with the force of thunder, splashing into the sky.
Taking advantage of this sudden chaos, the Autobots who were originally controlled. Instantly burst out with amazing power, they did not hesitate to fight back. How could those poor miscellaneous soldiers be the opponents of elite warriors such as Bumblebee who had experienced many battles? In the blink of an eye, they were beaten to lose their helmets and armor, and fell to the ground in a mess. A large area was instantly cleared on the battlefield.
