Chapter 441: Proof
"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 entirely.
He bent over slightly, his two massive arms hanging down, while his shovel-like hands kept opening and closing, clearly wary of him.
This was actually not strange; although everyone was a Decepticon, it was also their first time meeting.
However, the Decepticons are a violent group that prioritizes strength.
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 it was riddled with factions.
The 【Decepticon Legion】 at its inception 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 conflict is 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 among Decepticons, at least few Decepticons dared to attack their own kind openly. 【Shockwave】 was not one 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 a combat state.
He knew that this was his first time meeting Demolishor and Sideways, and the other party certainly did not know his information yet; this was also his greatest advantage.
However, the Pioneer also knew the power of the weapons he was equipped with. Even if he launched a sneak attack just now, it would be difficult to heavily damage a big guy like Demolishor in one blow, so from the very beginning, his target was not Demolishor, but Sideways!
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Giving them no chance to talk nonsense at all, almost as soon as Demolishor's threatening words were finished, the missiles on the Pioneer's back that had already locked onto the target were immediately launched.
In an instant, a sense of crisis that was hard to describe welled up in Sideways' heart. Not caring about appearances, he, who was cautious by nature, subconsciously lunged to the side.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two explosions rang out immediately, and simultaneously with the explosions came a howl of uncontrollable rage.
A faint blue light shone in the Pioneer's eyes, and his vision instantly pierced through the smoke and dust to take in the situation not far away.
Although 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 called 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!"
"Asshole!"
Demolishor also reacted at this moment. He looked at the Pioneer angrily, the huge tires supporting his movement flexibly and quickly crossing a few mountain rocks, while one of his arms was raised high and then fell.
The terrifying shovel at the very front, like a heavy hammer mixed with a whistling sonic boom, smashed heavily toward the Pioneer.
The Pioneer reacted quickly. Almost the moment Demolishor's arm was raised, he tensed his body and flexibly jumped back more than ten meters.
Just as he landed and stood firm, Demolishor's large shovel had already smashed heavily onto the spot where he had just been standing.
"Boom!"
Earth and stone splashed, and smoke rose everywhere.
As if a bomb had been detonated there, the terrifying force of Demolishor's spiteful smash instantly created a deep crater in the area hit by the shovel.
"Hey hey hey... big guy, do you want to kill me?"
The Pioneer had dodged, but Wheelie was still tied to a steel pillar by him with a chain.
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 the 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 started shouting 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 was probably not on the same side as the Pioneer, so he was not in a hurry to deal with him first.
"Asshole!"
Wheelie angrily flicked his thin, small arms. He had already decided that after he escaped, he must 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 keen on developing, Wheelie had known their identities from the first moment he saw these two guys.
After all, for a big guy like Demolishor, his features were truly 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 a few Decepticons sent by Starscream in Severodvinsk, so he still had some combat experience.
Jumping back, landing, he did not care at all about the yelling Wheelie on the side, or the furious Sideways not far away.
Just after standing firm, he flashed to the side again, taking only a few short seconds to pull the distance between himself and Demolishor to several tens of meters away.
Then, without waiting for this 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 the hand cannon, aimed at the clumsy big guy with a slightly changed expression not far away, and pulled the trigger of the Plasma Cannon.
