Chapter 571: Fierce Battle in the Gobi (Seeking Subscriptions)
"The Mariana Trench Battle is over!"
When the Autobots Ironhide, Sideswipe, and others appeared in Soli, Sun Cheng knew that the Mariana Trench Battle was over.
The Decepticon Legion ultimately relied on human-wave tactics to win this battle for the remains of Megatron.
Because he could not use satellites, Sun Cheng could not yet determine the detailed situation, but this did not affect his grasp of the battle situation.
If the Decepticons had not won, and the Autobots had taken away Megatron's remains, then the Decepticon pursuit would have continued until all the Autobots were annihilated.
"Master..."
Thunder and Scrapper arrived before Sun Cheng; neither of them was in good condition.
The Medical Spiders at North Port had already been withdrawn in advance; Base No. 2 did not yet have the capability to mass-produce such highly specialized Decepticons, so they were the first batch targeted for evacuation.
After Moscow's attitude began to become ambiguous, the value of North Port had already plummeted infinitely.
Except for leaving behind two newly cultivated Newborn Decepticons to continue fulfilling the contract there, Sun Cheng had already arranged for everyone who needed to be withdrawn to be withdrawn.
Thunder and Scrapper had withdrawn from North Port openly and honestly; they had made no attempt to conceal their tracks, crossing the Eastern European Plain, passing over the Caucasus, and traveling all the way from Turkey toward Africa.
As for the purpose? It went without saying!
Sun Cheng: "Are you sure there are Decepticons tailing you?"
Thunder nodded, "That feeling has never disappeared; I am very certain we are being watched, but I cannot lock onto the target!"
Scrapper, whose expression was equally grim, also nodded in agreement; it was clear he was not yet prepared to fully defect to Sun Cheng and face his former master, Starscream.
Sun Cheng looked up at the sky silently, and he already had an idea in his mind.
The watcher who could make both Thunder and Scrapper feel their presence yet remain unfound was, needless to say, Soundwave.
Frenzy, whom he had possessed, was once a member of the Decepticon intelligence organization under Soundwave's command—the Cassette Corps—so Sun Cheng was quite familiar with his former superior.
After losing several satellites in succession, he guessed that Soundwave should currently be in low-earth satellite orbit; that guy's body was one of the rare types that could stay in outer space for long periods, and even his transformation form was very similar to a satellite.
"Very good, I hope to lure a few more Decepticons over!"
Sun Cheng said viciously.
Having dealt with the Decepticon Legion for so long, he had long since understood how to deal with this bunch of scoundrels.
You can show weakness, but you must never compromise without a bottom line.
Because once you are truly perceived as weak by the Decepticons, they will trample you underfoot without hesitation, and then stomp on you repeatedly.
Not long ago, when North Port was suddenly attacked by over a dozen Decepticons, Sun Cheng knew that someone had lost their patience.
Although it was unclear whether it was Starscream or Soundwave who wanted to test his strength again.
However, since others had already taken action, Sun Cheng would also make preparations in advance.
It was just that he did not like to passively wait for others to come looking for trouble; he had to arrange the battlefield himself.
Africa was the battlefield Sun Cheng had arranged for himself and his unknown opponents.
He was already prepared; as long as anyone dared to pursue him, he would make them pay.
Sun Cheng and his group were currently located within South Sudan.
The situation here was no better than in Soli, and compared to Libya where they had been before, the terrain here had many more valleys and gullies.
The new battlefield Sun Cheng had prepared was located in a region of the East African Rift Valley within South Sudan.
As early as when North Port suffered the invasion, the Pioneer had received his orders and made preparations within South Sudan.
If Soundwave and Starscream did not take the initiative to provoke him, so be it; but if they dared to come, Sun Cheng would definitely make them regret it.
The result did not make Sun Cheng and the others wait too long; almost ten hours after he met up with Thunder and Scrapper, long sandstorms began to appear on the desolate Gobi desert near the rift valley area.
That was the spectacular sight that only occurred when a large number of vehicles traveled together.
"Master, they are here!"
The Pioneer stood on a small sand dune not far away, and upon seeing the long convoy driving toward them from afar, he immediately returned to Sun Cheng's side to report to him.
"Hmm!"
Sun Cheng opened his eyes coldly, looked up at the sky again, and said nothing.
Since Thunder and Scrapper had really brought people over, sure enough, there were Decepticons who couldn't resist jumping out to eliminate him, the traitor.
It was just unclear whether the opponent was sent by Soundwave or Starscream.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
Above the sky, the humming of engines and propellers began to grow increasingly piercing.
After the early warning system captured two black dots getting closer from afar, Sun Cheng suddenly shouted sharply, "Scatter!"
After saying this, he leaped into the sky, transformed into fighter jet mode, and soared high toward the sky.
Almost just as Sun Cheng had flown to an altitude of six or seven hundred meters, suddenly, more than a dozen missiles and rockets fell simultaneously at a speed exceeding Mach 3 onto the spot where they had just been standing.
The next moment, the explosion blasted a cloud of smoke and sand into the sky over the Gobi desert.
"Dirge... and Thrust..."
The ones attacking Sun Cheng and the others were precisely the two Decepticons flying in from the sky.
Because of Frenzy's memories, he recognized these two Decepticons at a glance: they were the renowned Advanced Replica Warrior within the Decepticon Legion—Dirge, and the main force of the Decepticon Air Force, Thrust from the Seekers.
Dirge's transformation form was a CH-53E transport helicopter, and his size was even larger than Thunder's.
However, his speed was too slow, and he was far from being a match for Sun Cheng.
Thrust, on the other hand, was a bit troublesome; this veteran air force main fighter of the Decepticon Legion transformed into an F-15 fighter jet.
It was precisely Thrust who had taken the lead in firing missiles to attack Sun Cheng and the others just now.
Even after transforming into fighter jet mode, Sun Cheng had no impression of controlling the airframe.
With a thought, four missiles popped out from the weapon bay, all aimed at Thrust, and were launched.
Sun Cheng did not expect these missiles to cause him much trouble; after the missiles were fired, he entered supersonic cruise mode, the Auxiliary Power System was also activated, and his speed began to climb rapidly.
Mach 1.25, Mach 1.5, Mach 1.75, Mach 2!
Sonic boom clouds were constantly forming in the air, and the distance between Sun Cheng and Ramjet was continuously closing.
"Shameless traitor!"
An angry shout came from the air; Ramjet shifted slightly to the side and climbed, simultaneously firing several Interference Shells, easily detonating the Missile he had fired.
Sun Cheng was not disappointed, however; if a human pilot were in control, it would certainly have been impossible to dodge.
But they were different; Cybertronians' control over their bodies was just like humans' control over their own bodies, effortless and capable of unleashing one hundred percent flexibility.
Still, Ramjet was slightly disturbed by the Missile Sun Cheng had fired, and his speed entering supersonic cruise slowed down a bit.
The distance of over ten kilometers was covered in the blink of an eye.
Sun Cheng, who had entered supersonic cruise in advance, had already locked onto Ramjet; when the distance between the two fighter jets was less than two hundred meters, the two Plasma Cannons mounted on the fighter wings he had transformed into fired in unison.
