Chapter 749 - 29 Global Offensive (Part 4)

"We have already been caught up in this war between aliens. ’Doctor Doom’ has confirmed that the massive explosions in some cities over the past two years have been caused by battles between these giant alien robots."

"Doctor Doom stated that we must unite at this moment to confront these alien threats together—"

"According to him, these alien robots are divided into two factions, one of which needs the sun from our world to save their homeland;"

"Obviously, if our sun is taken away, our world will forever plunge into darkness or completely disappear, and that is the Decepticons’ goal."

"But there are also some alien robots who are willing to help us and abide by their own principles, willing to help us drive away the Decepticons. If possible, they hope to make a temporary stop on our planet—"

"This is one of the reasons they are helping us. They hope to take this place as a new home, even if only a temporary one."

"I can’t believe the Federal Government has hidden something so significant for so long, possibly even longer than two years. They completely ignored our right to know as taxpayers and showed contempt for human rights!"

"But we can scrutinize the President and his aides later, anyway, I certainly won’t be voting for Mabaao next time."

"The issue now is: Doctor Doom is right, we need to unite to win this war."

"See that! That’s our robot, Mei Country Industries, invincible!"

"Oh my god, I saw the factory next door, robots are driving cars, and drones took off from the rooftop of the factory building instantly!"

"We will definitely win this war, I’ve invested all my savings in the recently issued national bonds..."

"The national bonds are selling like crazy!"

"Oh my god... so many robots, so many drones..."

"They’re everywhere!"

The Hercules Transporter took off, Major Lennox—now a major—was with his comrades, flexing his arm on the pre-battle maintenance equipment that had just been refitted.

Since there was no brain-computer interface, this batch of exoskeletons could only be controlled through AI prediction and force feedback. The actual experience was slightly less seamless, sometimes even requiring special functions to be activated via a terminal in hand.

But the sense of power was very real: the penetration type electromagnetic rifle used depleted uranium bullets. To carry the electromagnetic force and the high-speed projectile, the barrel itself was made from high-density metal, requiring a high-power battery and electromagnetic array for energy supply.

This thing was very heavy: the battery was mounted on the back, covered with armor, with functional lines running to the gun, and ammunition feeders situated on the chest and under the armpits...

The whole set of equipment weighed a full 30KG. Even a strongman could carry this thing into battle, but without wearing the exoskeleton, the recoil from shooting could easily shatter human ribs and collarbones.

This was just the specification of the mobile TS3 exoskeleton. The soldier in a heavy TS3 exoskeleton next to him was effectively a mobile fortress, standing over 2.3 meters tall in it, able to carry the armor-piercing cannon as a regular weapon, with rockets beneath the armor...

It’s no exaggeration to say that before, they would be running around helplessly when facing a 5-meter-tall Decepticon, with a squad of seven people, at least two or three would die before they could find a weak spot to inflict damage.

Now it’s different. They have the ability to confront the Decepticons head-on by themselves.

Lennox flexed his glove. "I feel like a Transformer."

"Don’t get carried away just because you have the gear." Epps, wearing a TS3 exoskeleton for support, stood beside him. "But it’s the first time we’re conducting operations on such a large scale against the Decepticons."

"Yeah." Lennox shrugged. "We used to either be eating sand in the desert or fighting terrorists we couldn’t even communicate with.

To tell the truth, the Decepticons changed my life. If they hadn’t attacked the military base back then, I’d probably be retiring in a couple of months."

"It’s been two years now..."

Epps chuckled.

Click—

A soft sound rang out in the cabin.

This subtle sound was completely drowned out by the noise of the Hercules Transporter’s flight, but the built-in filtering receiver on the exoskeleton noticed this light click:

The metallic sound of tension indicated the approach of sneaking Decepticons.

However, it wasn’t the Decepticons making the sound, but the Destruction Shell robot standing by the cabin: Lille was about to issue an operational command.

[The carrier is about to enter the combat zone.]

[Second airborne team, you will be directly landing on Dagger’s Tip to search for the key with the Autobots.]

Whoosh—

The tailgate of the cabin opened, a raging wind rushed in, and the exoskeleton’s protective visor rose up.

Looking down at the ocean, they could see through the tactical visor built into the exoskeleton that the transporter had just skimmed over a Nimitz-class carrier.

The transporter maintained a constant speed in flight, but was about to begin dispersing.

fixed-wing drones swept repeatedly at low altitudes, providing a stable combat network and battlefield situation scanning map—

Whoosh!

Rows of tight F16 fighters streaked across the sky, their roaring sound deafening!

Previous battles made them forget that humans are the true masters of this planet, making them forget how many such weapons they have in their hands, but this time they finally remembered, they were not unarmed uncivilized Earth natives!

[Prepare...]

Just when they saw land and when the Destruction Shell was about to issue a drop command, the communications were suddenly severely jammed!

Whoosh!

An F16 fighter with strange markings swiftly overtook the formation of fighter jets, inserting into the flight queue in a very discordant manner...

Clack clack clack clack clack clack—

Boom!

It’s the Decepticons!

Red Spider completed a transformation in the sky instantly, grabbing an unsuspecting human fighter, launching several missiles in succession, directly hitting the planes flying too close!

Boom!

Debris from the explosion rained down, Red Spider transformed again in the sky, pursuing the dispersed planes and dashing into the clouds!

But soon, a massive Cybertronian flying tank pierced through the clouds, the wreckage of the fighter planes constantly falling—

"Decepticons!"

Boom—

Red Spider dashed into the sky, at the same time, a fiery meteor pierced through the atmosphere, emitting a spine-chilling ripping sound!

[An object has been observed to have been directly inserted from orbit, Nimitz aircraft carrier, you are the target!]

Boom!

A meteor crashed directly on the aircraft carrier behind Lennox, the violent impact split the behemoth into two on the spot!

The deck of the carrier began to crack and tilt, planes that hadn’t managed to take off continually sliding off, a gigantic Decepticon clawed up from the crack—

Just one drop, and they had rendered this behemoth of war inoperable!

If it were before, humans would have been tripping over themselves to escape: the carrier was their military command center, without a center, how could they continue fighting?

But this time it was different, their command systems were everywhere!

A sudden dazzling light flickered on the bridge deck, and the Decepticon’s head wedged in the break exploded, emitting cries of agony!

The battle, just now, truly began!

Megatron demolished an entire formation of fighter jets, rushing toward the lower sky, transforming in the air and smashing directly onto Lennox’s transporter, a single step crushing the transporter’s engine:

"Decepticons, attack!"

The transporter violently trembled, an ordinary person would certainly lose balance in the shaking, but Lennox and his team had the most advanced motion assistance system!

The Destruction Shell flashed a dazzling red light:

[Jump!]

The squad jumped out of the cabin before the plane exploded, turning and raising their guns—

Megatron was a bit surprised, but he utterly didn’t care...

Until the plane beneath him suddenly exploded!

Boom!

The blaze covered Megatron’s sensors, the shockwave made him lose his footing, his head was left exposed, and a terrifying volley came shooting straight at him!

"Doctor Doom sends his regards!"

Boom!
