Chapter 406: Optimus Prime's Decision

The Autobot unexpectedly is a very useful card.

Sun Cheng had only provided a few pieces of intelligence and given a slight push from behind.

What he did not expect was that the Autobot would clash with the Decepticon so quickly.

"... Lord Frenzy, are we not going to make a move?"

Scavenger also saw the battlefield footage captured by the Russian military satellite he had just released clearly, and could not help but ask.

"Make a move?"

Sun Cheng scanned him with interest, seemingly smiling, but the ferocious fangs in his mouth reflected a chilling light under the sunlight.

He had long since lost patience with Starscream; staying in Severodvinsk for three or four months, he could not leave lest he expose more of his layouts, or even his base in Brazil.

Even though Sun Cheng was very patient, he was now so annoyed that he even wanted to finish off Scavenger directly, so how could he possibly make a move to save Starscream's people?

"He is beyond saving!"

Slowly spitting out this sentence, Sun Cheng turned around, ignored him, and walked straight out.

The tacit understanding he had with Starscream before was effectively ruined; although he had thought before that given the other party's character, this understanding might not last long at all, what he did not expect was that it only lasted such a short time before being torn up by Starscream so decisively.

Clearly, even if he pulled the tiger skin of the attack, for an ambitious person like Starscream who even wanted to conspire to overthrow Megatron, he probably did not really take him seriously.

Otherwise, according to the warning Sun Cheng had proposed to Starscream through Scavenger, Russia and its surrounding areas should belong to his own sphere of influence, and without prior notification, he was not allowed to dispatch Decepticons here.

Although he did not say it absolutely, clearly... as cunning as Starscream, perhaps he had already discovered something from the information Scavenger had passed to him over the past two or three months!

The two Decepticons that appeared on Greenland first appeared within Ukraine, and were very close to the Donetsk Oblast of Russia.

Although these two Decepticons only stayed in Ukraine for half a day before heading west to Poland, and then passed through Germany, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland, finally running to Greenland, Sun Cheng still felt a burning pain on his face.

Thanks to his preparation to fall out with Starscream in advance, the Yankees, in order to completely block Russia's expansion into Europe, had left dense military bases in Europe, and at the same time, there were a large number of American military satellites over Europe.

Therefore, only slightly later than the Russian military satellites, when the two Decepticons were about to arrive at the border between Poland and Germany, they had already been discovered by the Yankees.

Then, the Autobot and the Yankees quickly completed their troop deployments; Sun Cheng believed that the two Decepticons who had been targeted by them were dead for sure, which also vented some of his pent-up anger.

However, it would be a lie to say that he was not feeling stifled inside.

Having stayed in the 【Transformers Universe】 for a while, from relying on others for protection just to save his life, to being able to play a country and a force in the palm of his hand, his progress was not insignificant; he almost calculated ten steps for every one step he took.

Even regarding the Autobot, Sun Cheng now vaguely felt that he seemed to have grasped the correct way to deal with these mechanical lives who, although hostile to him in their bones, were at least quite principled and law-abiding.

Yet the Decepticons, these mechanical lives who, like the Autobot, also came from Cybertron, left him feeling unsure.

Violence is sometimes truly unsolvable; no matter how you calculate, the other party just charges forward recklessly, and hits you in the face with a most direct combination of punches, which is very uncomfortable.

To put it bluntly, it was still that the force he controlled was far inferior to Starscream's, and he had fallen into a disadvantage from the very beginning.

However, Starscream taking the lead did suit Sun Cheng's wishes.

The pressure this guy was under now must be greater than his own and could never be less; 【The Fallen】 was single-mindedly trying to find the 【Matrix of Leadership】, so the number of Decepticons sent from the Moon to Earth would only increase.

Even if the Autobot did not believe the intelligence he passed on from the beginning, as Decepticons appeared everywhere on Earth, the two races that had fought to the death for millions of years would inevitably start a new war on Earth again.

By then, with his previous hints, whether they had eliminated the threat of Megatron in advance or not, Sun Cheng believed that this guy could not possibly appear in front of him so quickly.

Don't forget that he had once dived into the Mariana Trench and witnessed Megatron's remains with his own eyes.

Even if this guy had chosen to fake his death to achieve certain goals, the price Megatron paid was definitely not small; the injuries on his body could not be faked, and even if the Decepticon Legion's Chief Medical Officer—Knock Out—rushed over, it would still take some time to help him recover to his peak state, provided there were sufficient materials.

And that was without him, Sun Cheng, causing trouble behind the scenes!

"... It seems I need to make a trip to the United States myself!"

A few months ago, his Super Intelligence 【Huan】 had cracked a set of information in a fragment of the 【AllSpark】. After receiving his order, Pathfinder went to the United States and actually found a Blackbird reconnaissance plane with a Decepticon insignia engraved on its fuselage inside the 【National Air and Space Museum】 in the American capital—Washington, based on the cracked information suspected to be Earth's latitude and longitude coordinates.

After learning of its existence, Sun Cheng and his team had been trying their best to compare its possible identity.

At first, he had suspected that the Decepticon who had transformed into the Blackbird reconnaissance plane was likely, like the one that attacked them, a Decepticon who had arrived on Earth only decades ago, with the purpose of searching for the missing Megatron and the 【AllSpark】.

However, there was no existence of this person in his database.

Instead, from the partial memory data of Megatron he had stolen, Sun Cheng unexpectedly found some answers that made him both excited and uneasy.

Pathfinder!

This term had appeared more than once in Megatron's Memory Data, and Sun Cheng also had some impressions of them.

Last year, in the desert of Lop Nur, he had obtained a metal plate left behind by a Cybertronian who claimed to be 【General Behemoth】, and from it, he learned many unknown secrets, among which included the 【Pathfinder】.

Therefore, if that Blackbird reconnaissance plane sleeping in the 【National Air and Space Museum】 was truly a Pathfinder, he felt he should be able to take a risk and test it out.

After all, a considerable number of Pathfinders had experienced the era of the Council of Ancients. Even though the Decepticon and Autobot factions had already begun to appear on Cybertron at that time, a considerable number of the elders among them were far from being as extreme as the current Decepticon Legion. If he really encountered a powerful Pathfinder who was willing to accept his views, then the improvement to his own force would be huge.

Sun Cheng had been thinking about this matter recently, constantly weighing the gains and losses.

There was no help for it; Earth was becoming more and more dangerous now, and even he himself did not know how many pairs of eyes were fixed on him.

He also had no doubt that once Megatron returned, or Starscream obtained more power from 【The Fallen】, the end awaiting him would be death.

Therefore, whether to take a risk and gamble was already a multiple-choice question placed before him, waiting for him to make a decision as soon as possible.

He had not yet waited for the intelligence of the U. S. military's great victory on Greenland.

Just after parting ways with Scavenger, Sun Cheng frowned and looked toward the southeast.

The emergency contact channel he left at the hydroelectric station was awakened, and the Chinese side had transmitted a piece of information to him through the channel.

"A power station in Altai, the capital of Govi-Altai Province, Mongolia, has been attacked by an unidentified target. One of our military satellites happened to capture images of two suspected Decepticons, and they are constantly approaching the China-Mongolia border... We specifically ask your side, are these two Decepticons your personnel?"
