Chapter 1018: Falling

Lockdown was already feeling some regret!

He knew that this time, he had been overly contemptuous of the enemy and reckless.

Over millions of years, victory after victory had made him somewhat carried away.

He had once assassinated Megatron; although he did not succeed, he had retreated unscathed.

Even though Lockdown was hunted by Megatron and the Decepticon Legion for many years afterward, in the end, Megatron still had to continue to win him over.

He had also once assassinated Sentinel Prime; although it failed before it even began, the Autobots were likewise unable to do anything to him.

Back then, Sentinel Prime had even dispatched several of his trusted warriors to hunt Lockdown down, yet he, who was still only an Elite Warrior, relied on his familiarity with the terrain and patience to take them out one by one.

Lockdown had even targeted the Queen of the Quintessa Civilization, the notorious conqueror—Quintessa.

Although he still did not succeed, Lockdown had once again retreated unscathed under the desperate pursuit of those lunatics in the Quintessa army.

Because of his outstanding performance, Quintessa not only did not pursue Lockdown for the crime of daring to assassinate her.

That Queen of the Quintessa Civilization even spent a great price to win Lockdown over, hoping to subdue him under her command and make him the sharpest blade in her hand.

Victory after victory had caused him, who had always acted very cautiously, to begin becoming arrogant and conceited.

And it was not until this moment that Lockdown suddenly felt a bit of realization.

He had been schemed against by Starscream and Onslaught, whom he had met before, working in tandem.

"Starscream and Onslaught, I have noted this debt... and you, Frenzy..."

The large wounds appearing on his body at this moment completely woke Lockdown up and also made him start to feel some regret.

Lockdown, who could climb step by step from a slave to his current position and become a Bounty Hunter stirring up trouble in a small half of the universe, was naturally not a fool.

Thinking back carefully on his recent experiences now, he had already fully realized that he had been played.

From Starscream and Onslaught, he had each learned some information regarding Frenzy.

And then these two "old friends," who like Lockdown originated from the Decepticon Legion, had tacitly and deliberately hidden a lot of information from him.

For example, the information he learned from Starscream regarding Frenzy was that he came from Soundwave's Cassette Corps, but later betrayed Soundwave and the Decepticon Legion.

Lockdown naturally knew of Soundwave and the Cassette Corps.

The former was once one of the four giants of the past Decepticon Legion, but as for the Cassette Corps under his command, although they had some unique aspects in intelligence gathering and behind-the-scenes sabotage, when it came to combat power, Lockdown could easily slaughter them.

And the intelligence provided to him by Onslaught also had great misleading qualities.

Although he mentioned that Frenzy had built his own force and that the force had reached the Elite Warrior level.

But like Starscream, Onslaught, who was equally vague, also carried out a certain degree of information deception against Lockdown.

A force comparable to the Autobots and a few small fry are completely different concepts.

Likewise, a newly promoted Elite Warrior.

And an Elite Warrior who is almost comprehensively developed and has even stepped half a foot into the ranks of Leader warriors are two completely different concepts.

The two had just fought, and Lockdown could clearly feel that the opponent's strength was still above his own, and his firepower was not weaker than his own either.

The only thing he surpassed the opponent in was his own astonishing explosive power and speed.

But the terrible thing was that the equipment on the opponent's body was strange.

That strange set of Armor provided the opponent with very good protection, making Lockdown unable to severely injure his opponent for a long time.

Because of this, Lockdown started to get more agitated the longer he fought, and gradually began to go for the kill.

However, Sun Cheng had been guarding against him all along.

Every Elite Warrior under his command was cultivated only after the Base invested massive resources.

To date, there were only a dozen or so.

Lockdown could not kill him, but he could kill these Elite Warriors.

When he noticed that Lockdown had also started to change his strategy, Sun Cheng could no longer afford to hide.

Inside his body, the Auxiliary Power System was quickly activated, his speed increased rapidly by a large margin, and he gradually could barely keep up with Lockdown.

He transformed into a powerful tank Warrior, and every time Lockdown tried to target a certain Elite Warrior, Sun Cheng would quickly rush over to pin him down again.

Anyway, Lockdown could not kill him, and at most could only leave some wounds on Sun Cheng.

But if he were accidentally hit by Sun Cheng, under that overwhelming power, he would suffer serious injuries.

Back and forth, Lockdown discovered that it was already very difficult for him to win.

And just at this moment, "Boom!"

An explosion sound came from not far from the group of Decepticons; it was the sound of a Golden Eagle Fighter crashing and hitting the ground.

Yet Sun Cheng and the others were completely indifferent!

Because compared to this destroyed Golden Eagle Fighter, their own side, which had gradually mastered air superiority, was unfolding a crazy slaughter in the sky against those Combat Airships coming from Lockdown's ship.

It was as if fireworks had been lit in the sky, with the loud sounds of mid-air explosions continuing.

At the same time, a rain of metal fragments began to fall from the sky.

On the ground, various Mechanical Monsters, also from Lockdown's ship, began to suffer heavy casualties under the encirclement and suppression of more and more Decepticon Warriors and Combat Robots arriving to support, and began to become fewer and fewer.

A protective circle surrounding him was gradually forming.

Lockdown also noticed all of this!

What he saw was actually even more!

High above in the sky, that ship belonging to him was very huge.

But this also meant that in this era where Missiles could achieve high-precision targeting, it would be the best target.

And now, that was indeed the case.

At an altitude of over a thousand meters, that huge ship of Lockdown's was currently suffering from overwhelming Anti-aircraft missile attacks.

Under the constant strikes of thousands of Missiles, even though the ship possessed an Energy Shield with astonishing protective capabilities.

But as long as it is energy, it must follow the law of conservation.

The Protective Barrier was constantly flickering with water-like halos, and Lockdown even noticed that, on several occasions, multiple missiles struck the same spot simultaneously.

The Energy Shield wrapped around the spaceship was once reduced to the point of being nearly transparent.

On the battlefield, some Decepticons also noticed this.

More combat footage and data analysis were being continuously compiled and sent to the Academy of Sciences so that they could find the spaceship's weaknesses faster.

And the experienced Jetfire quickly flew over with a plan.

"Even if the power of this batch of anti-aircraft missiles you produced by imitating human weapons has been upgraded, it is still too weak for a spaceship that can travel through the universe and even withstand the impact of small celestial bodies."

"Go check the armory; we need to concentrate some high-yield missiles and then strike one spot simultaneously."

"When the explosive power within a short period exceeds the tolerance limit of the Energy Shield, the shield will develop a brief gap."

"And the hull of that spaceship certainly cannot withstand a massive amount of explosions."

Following his plan, Sun Cheng soon received the request and quickly approved it.

In an instant, several submarines equipped with Nuclear Warheads from the seabed quickly completed the replacement of new warheads.

Before long, dozens of Tactical Nuclear Bombs, propelled by medium-to-long-range intercontinental missiles, rapidly crossed a distance of over a thousand kilometers and arrived directly above Base No. 2.

When these dozens of Tactical Nuclear Bombs struck the Energy Shield wrapped around Lockdown's spaceship all at once.

The explosive power generated by the terrifying fission reaction finally exceeded the limit of the Energy Shield, blasting a huge gap in it.

Subsequently, one Tactical Nuclear Bomb after another.

More anti-aircraft missiles followed through the gap and bombarded the spaceship hanging high in the air, striking the ship's hull one after another.

The successive explosions began to make Lockdown's spaceship, which had been hovering in mid-air, start to teeter, and large areas of fragmentation appeared on the hull, even beginning to show burning and flames.

Within the range of Base No. 2, under the terrifying downpour of firepower.

Not long after, the spaceship's hull began to tilt at a large angle, and it could no longer maintain the Energy Shield or hover in mid-air, beginning to crash down toward the ground.
