Chapter 438: Unwelcome Guests Arrive

"Hand over the fragment, unknown Warrior; this is something The Fallen wants..."

The body of Demolishor was far larger than that of the Pioneer, and although his small movements were very subtle, Demolishor, looking down from above, still saw his reaction in his eyes.

He leaned forward slightly, his two massive arms hanging down, his shovel-like hands opening and closing incessantly, clearly on guard against him.

This was actually not strange, even though everyone was a Decepticon, and it was their first time meeting.

However, the Decepticons are a violent group that prioritizes strength above all else.

Even a powerful existence like Megatron could not suppress everyone; ambitious individuals like Starscream were everywhere within the Decepticon Legion, and it would be no exaggeration to say that it was riddled with factions.

The 【Decepticon Legion】 at the time of its founding had experienced more than one bloody conflict and civil war.

The 【Mithril Sea Protocol】, also known as the 【Traitor Punishment Protocol】, was a protocol that Megatron forced the Decepticons who resisted him to sign at the Mithril Sea on Cybertron after he suppressed 【Starscream】 and in the presence of Shockwave. The two most core clauses of the protocol were: "Megatron possesses supreme ruling power over the Decepticon Legion" and "General conflicts are permitted, but without the Leader's permission, Decepticons are strictly forbidden from fighting to the death."

After the 【Mithril Sea Protocol】 appeared, although there were still many contradictions and constant conflicts between Decepticons, at least few Decepticons dared to openly attack their own kind. 【Shockwave】 was not to be trifled with; he had a cold, cruel Executioner Squad under his command specifically responsible for cleaning up Decepticons who dared to violate the 【Mithril Sea Protocol】.

Demolishor clearly had reservations, but the Pioneer remained unmoved; he had long since entered combat state.

He knew that this was his first time meeting Demolishor and Sideways, and the other party must not yet know his information; this was also his greatest advantage.

However, the Pioneer also knew the power of the weapons he was equipped with. Even if he had launched a sneak attack just now, it would have been difficult to heavily damage a big guy like Demolishor in one go, so from the very beginning, his target was not Demolishor, but Sideways!

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Giving them no chance for idle talk at all, almost as soon as Demolishor's threatening words were finished, the missiles on the Pioneer's back that had already locked onto their targets were immediately launched.

In an instant, a sense of crisis that was hard to describe suddenly welled up in Sideways' heart. Regardless of how unseemly it looked, he, being cautious by nature, subconsciously lunged to the side.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two explosion sounds rang out immediately, and along with the explosion sounds came a howl of uncontrollable rage.

The blue light in the Pioneer's eyes brightened slightly, and his vision instantly pierced through the smoke and dust to take in the situation not far away.

Although he had been caught off guard, at the critical moment, Sideways had actually narrowly dodged one of the missiles, only being blown away a distance by the air current.

And the other missile that hit Sideways did not achieve full effect; it only hit the opponent's left leg, blowing off the lower half of his left leg.

This kind of injury could not be considered serious for a Mechanical Life, at most it would affect his movement.

However, after confirming Sideways' injury, the Pioneer's eyes lit up.

A lucky hit; this could be considered the ideal result he wanted.

"Damn it!"

Sideways was furious. After roaring in the distance and struggling to stand up while leaning on a nearby rock, he shouted loudly at Demolishor: "Demolishor, kill him!"

"Bastard!"

Demolishor also reacted at this moment. He looked at the Pioneer with annoyance, the massive tires supporting his movement nimbly and quickly crossing several mountain rocks forward, while one of his arms was raised high and then brought down.

The terrifying shovel at the very front, like a heavy hammer, carried a whistling sonic boom as it smashed heavily toward the Pioneer.

The Pioneer reacted quickly. Almost the moment Demolishor's arm was raised, he tensed his body and nimbly jumped back more than ten meters.

Just as he landed and stood steady, Demolishor's large shovel had already smashed heavily onto the spot where he had just been standing.

"Boom!"

Earth and stone splattered, and smoke rose everywhere.

As if a bomb had been detonated there, the terrifying force of Demolishor's vengeful smash instantly created a deep crater in the area hit by the shovel.

"Hey hey hey... big guy, are you trying to kill me?"

The Pioneer had dodged it, but Wheelie was still tied by him with a chain to a steel pillar.

As a result, when Demolishor suddenly smashed over, although he tried his best to dodge to the side, he was still blown into mid-air by the air vortex caused by that terrifying heavy hammer, and then fell heavily back to the ground.

Although he was not injured, this encounter made this guy's mood terrible, and he hurriedly began to scold loudly.

Demolishor did not even look at him; the status of mini-Decepticons within the 【Decepticon Legion】 had always been low.

Moreover, this big guy was not as stupid as he looked. After just glancing at Wheelie, he determined that he should not be on the same side as the Pioneer, so he was not in a hurry to deal with him first.

"Bastard!"

Wheelie angrily swung his thin little arms. He had already decided that after he escaped, he would definitely file a complaint with 【Lord Soundwave】. Not only did that stranger Decepticon who dared to kidnap him and tie him up like a dog for days need to be dealt with, but so did Demolishor and Sideways.

Yes, as a reserve member of the 【Cassette Corps】 that 【Soundwave】 was intent on developing, Wheelie had known their identities from the very first moment he saw these two guys.

After all, for a big guy like Demolishor, his features were simply too obvious.

Although he had not experienced many battles personally, especially battles between Autobots and Decepticons, there were even fewer.

But not long ago, the Pioneer had just dealt with several Decepticons sent by Starscream in Severodvinsk, so he still had some combat experience.

Back-jumping, landing, he paid no attention to Wheelie yelling on the side, or Sideways, who was furious not far away.

Just as he stood steady, he flashed to the side again, taking only a few short seconds to pull the distance between himself and Demolishor to several dozen meters.

Then, without waiting for the big guy to press in, the Pioneer lowered his right arm and reached toward the base of his thigh.

Soon, a short, thick Plasma Cannon instantly detached from the outside of his thigh and was gripped in his hand.

The next moment, the Pioneer raised his hand cannon, aimed at the clumsy big guy whose expression had changed slightly not far away, and pulled the trigger of the Plasma Cannon.
