Chapter 751 - 31 Joint Operations

"Ah—!"

Megatron’s head was hit, and the head which had already been mangled by Optimus Prime burst into more pieces in the explosion!

The spiked armor-piercing bullets designed specifically to penetrate Transformers’ armor no longer bounced off like ordinary bullets, but actually left bullet holes, even piercing through his metal skin!

The explosion was also accompanied by the common small-range EMP design seen in cyberpunk, with shock waves and electromagnetic pulses penetrating through the gaps, filling his sensors with static—

Whoosh!

Boom!

A fixed-wing drone sliced through the air like a sword, carrying a large amount of explosives and crashed directly into his chest!

The explosion triggered terrifying shock waves, chaotic air currents blew Lennox away, and the entire team lost its direction—

But the machines on their bodies did not!

Whizz!

The fixed steel cables on the exoskeleton shot out with the wind, as a fixed-wing drone swept through the air, just in time to be hit by the steel cable!

Lennox felt a huge force throwing him, looking up to see Megatron transforming into flying tank mode amidst the explosion, with flames on his body rushing out of the fireball, spiraling and dashing in the air, missiles and plasma guns shooting in every direction...

Boom!

The explosion covered the sky, directly blocking the subsequent support drones—

Megatron’s combat ability was too strong!

[Prepare for landing!]

Cold combat instructions came to Lennox’s ear, he looked down and realized they were now airborne above land!

Fixed-wing drones glided at low altitude, hooks released, and these soldiers were hurled directly towards the land, with auxiliary propulsion devices on their bodies operating at full capacity just as they were about to reach the ground, significantly reducing their descent speed—

Bang—

Even with the buffer of the thrusters, the exoskeleton soldiers weighing hundreds of pounds hitting the desert kicked up huge clouds of dust!

Some soldiers seemed to be walking on the Moon, with thrusters intermittently operating at full capacity, enabling them to leap and dash over houses or wreckage in human villages scattered in the desert, mitigating impact.

But while they were buffering, the Decepticons wouldn’t give them this chance!

Bam!

A Decepticon sitting in a drop pod crashed into the desert, a sand wall erupted, a pitch-black mass-produced Decepticon rushed out, holding a cannon in one hand and wielding a large sword with the other, charging directly at the human troops who hadn’t yet stabilized...

Boom!

Fixed-wing drones streaked across the sky, a bomb fell from the heavens, flipping this Decepticon over!

The Decepticon was blown into the air, reflexively firing a shot to knock down a drone—

But by the time he fell to the ground, the human squad had already completed their adjustment, Lennox and his comrades raised their weapons together...

Boom!

The headless Decepticon fell to the ground, leaving the squad a bit stunned after a round of salvo...

Did they just take down a Decepticon in one clash?

The most striking was the soldier in heavy TS3 exoskeleton, feeling like a mecha from some stories due to its massive size.

All 8 anti-material explosive launchers smoked simultaneously, during the moment of firing, he felt like he was a rocket launcher vehicle.

But this was only an ordinary Decepticon, when the warriors looked up, what they saw was a scene of despair:

Blazing fireballs tore through the atmosphere, Decepticons’ orbital drops turned into metal comets plummeting towards the desert, carrying shock waves right onto the battlefield, ground trembled, sand flew, ammunition soared!

Just after landing, the nest forces had already witnessed aircraft carriers being sunk, fighter jets being destroyed in succession, in front of them, this was literally a scene from Hell!

Decepticons appeared out of nowhere, occupying the core ground in an instant... How could humans advance?

They had never seen so many Decepticons!

[Battle zone allocation completed, please arrive and hold your assigned battle zone immediately.]

[Broad-area bombing is imminent, please find cover.]

Explosions dyed the sky red, countless drones as precursor forces penetrated through the fireballs and smoke screens generated by the explosions, delivering harsh responses to these giants with high-speed charges!

Explosives rained down from the sky, Lennox could imagine the power just by watching the scene!

"Find cover!"

Several TS3 heavy exoskeletons immediately probed out fixed foot stands, huge shield unfolded, transforming the site into massive steel shelter!

Boom—

The desert seemed to be carpeted, the power of broad-area bombing continued endlessly, completely submerged the first batch of Decepticon paratroopers!

Flames rose like a sign of attack, Optimus Prime took the lead, rushing into the smoke screen, two blazing swords frantically harvested the scattered Decepticons:

"Autobots, attack!"

Optimus Prime stared intensely at the densely landing area of Decepticons, vaguely feeling:

Obtaining the leadership module first, not only could he thwart Decepticons’ atrocities, but it might also allow him to find a way to save Cybertron!

The tomb of Primordial Transformers was right ahead!

The battlefield chaos made him completely overlook the sky, where a terrible energy seemed to be accumulating, about to tear through space...

...

[Johnny: Battle is going well... Can these things be transported to our world, to blow the military technology and Arasaka to bits?]

[Lille: Technology yes, industrial capacity... This place might surpass our world by several streets at least.]

[Johnny: Such a pity, really want to see Washington blown up.]

[Johnny: You said we’re going to the Moon?]

[Lille: Accurately speaking, in 15 minutes, the aircraft will land on the Moon Dark Side.]

[Lille: Humans did not tell Optimus Prime the truth, even before Megatron arrived on the Moon, they had encountered alien life forms.]

[Lille: The location of this encounter has been erased by them, but some information can still be inferred from some... equipment records used.]

[Lille: A barren Moon isn’t that hard to find a broken Cybertron ship.]

The Moon is empty and only lonely.

Lille had already obtained the method to detect spark radiation, actually even without the help of Autobots, it’s not too hard to screen for metallic radiation on the Moon Dark Side, in the lunar soil—

Because he knew there’s definitely a Cybertron ship there.

[Johnny: I don’t quite understand, why not explore the Moon after the battle with that silly big guy? They understand Cybertron technology better than you, right?]

[Lille: Yes, Optimus Prime understands Cybertron technology better... He certainly knows Space Bridge Technology.]

[Lille: But just as he is cautious of humans, he would also be cautious of me, even knowing I want to return, he won’t voluntarily offer such technology.]

[Johnny: Is he cautious of you? He believed your bizarre world-crossing explanation!]

[Lille: That’s why I say, Optimus Prime is straightforward, but not stupid, never assume a candid person is dumb, lacking opinion.]

The gap in combat power between Decepticons and Autobots is mainly because Decepticons were originally Cybertron’s defense units, whereas Autobots were mostly logistics and technology research teams.

Optimus Prime is extremely powerful but enjoys research; his rival Nemesis Prime to him is like a father, he obviously knows Space Bridge Technology.

He knows, but hasn’t revealed a single word to Lille.

One must take initiative in their own affairs.

[Johnny: You’ve hidden something big... I mean, earlier I thought you were frank, but suddenly there’s this huge secret...]

[Johnny: But if someone went to contact an old friend I thought was dead, planning to extract something from his head, I’d definitely feel it was betrayal.]

[Lille: The situation is very complicated, this encounter must be kept hidden from both Decepticons and Autobots.]

Only this way can one proactively change their circumstances.

Lille didn’t know how long he could stay here; if actions aren’t expedited, he might gain nothing, wasting an opportunity.

The cold Moon Dark Side lost the sunlight, only reflecting faint starlight from the vast Universe.

Differences in reflectivity between metal and lunar soil and usage of high-precision sensors and powerful spectrum analyzers allowed Lille to see differences—

He found the Ark.

At this moment, countless alarms were going off on sensors:

[Lennox: What is that?!]
