Chapter 595: The Final Battle Begins 2

"Lord Barricade, we still haven't found the 【Matrix of Leadership】!"

Outside the Nameless Temple, Barricade stood at the temple entrance, looking at the desolate temple that had been destroyed beyond recognition, his brow furrowed.

"Useless trash!"

With a single slap, he sent a Decepticon Cannon Fodder Warrior, who was not much shorter than himself, flying away. His scarlet eyes looked into the temple, and at the same time, a finger pressed against his ear to send a message to Starscream.

"... I have already checked the inside and outside of the temple, but I haven't found the 【Matrix of Leadership】... We might have been deceived by Frenzy..."

Starscream was not in Jordan right now, but on the Moon.

Not long after the Mariana Trench Battle ended, although Megatron's remains had been damaged before Ironhide and the others evacuated, his head had unexpectedly not suffered a single scratch.

The Decepticons had brought his head back; as for Megatron's body, it was already completely useless.

Starscream had recently been busy manufacturing a New Body for this commander of the Decepticon Legion, but this was clearly not a task that could be accomplished overnight, especially since he was not putting in his full effort.

If Starscream had the mind to, the single excuse that "there are not enough resources on Earth" would be enough to keep Megatron, this commander of the Decepticon Legion, from waking up for at least a year or two.

Barricade had led men to check the Nameless Temple carefully for two days now, and the scope was not limited to the interior of the temple; the area within about ten kilometers nearby was all within the search range.

Because there had been no harvest at all, he was starting to doubt Frenzy's intelligence.

After Starscream received his communication, he replied to him very quickly.

However, he did not seem angry; Starscream had already been to the Nameless Temple once.

"... No, quite the contrary..."

Starscream had indeed discovered some strange things during his brief trip to the Nameless Temple, "At first I couldn't be sure, but now, I can almost be certain. The 【Matrix of Leadership】 should be right there, it's just that it has been hidden in an Imaginary Space."

The so-called imaginary number refers to a number that does not exist in reality.

And the Imaginary Space is the same, referring to a space that does not exist in reality.

As one of the most famous Scientists of the Decepticon Legion, Starscream possessed a very vast reserve of knowledge and also had some understanding of real and imaginary spaces.

This concept was proposed by a very famous scientist during the era of the Cybertronian Elder Council, and that scientist was named Zhelasasi, who was Shockwave's teacher.

Zhelasasi also created a series of even more famous theories, which was Space Bridge technology.

Regarding Space Bridge technology, Starscream understood some but was not proficient in this field.

And because of this, he only had a concept of the Imaginary Space that extended from Space Bridge technology.

"Imaginary Space?"

Barricade was baffled by this.

Starscream did not explain too much, his tone carrying quite a bit of regret: "Legend has it that the six Primes, in order to prevent The Fallen from obtaining the 【Matrix of Leadership】, took it away and hid it. There should be an Imaginary Space created by them at the temple; only those who have a deep understanding of this, or who meet certain conditions, can enter the Imaginary Space and take out the 【Matrix of Leadership】!"

"So that's why Frenzy and the others sold this intelligence to you..."

"They clearly sold it for a good price, didn't they..."

Starscream's eyes flickered. After confirming that the 【Matrix of Leadership】 might be hidden in an Imaginary Space, even though he still felt unwilling, he had to think about how to use this intelligence to maximize his gains.

"You stay there for now... I will order the Decepticons to assemble at the temple, and at the same time report this matter to The Fallen; leave the rest to him... Be careful of the Autobots, that cunning guy Frenzy could never give up on the 【Matrix of Leadership】... He should still be hiding somewhere waiting for an opportunity..."

"I understand, leave it to me here!"

Saudi Arabia, Tabuk Air Base. Major William and the others had just stepped off the plane. At this moment, a sandstorm, very common in the Middle East, was assaulting this important town in northern Saudi Arabia, so there was no one to be seen at the base to welcome them.

The propellers of the Hercules transport plane were still spinning, blowing the sky full of yellow sand everywhere.

"I thought I would never come to this hellhole again..."

Captain Robert took off his military cap, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he ate a lot of sand, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and said.

Major William grinned. Both of them had stayed in the Middle East for at least eight years or more, and they had long been accustomed to the harsh environment here.

Being conscripted by the country again this time and sent to the Middle East, they were still somewhat happy in their hearts.

Soldiers only consider the outcome of a war; as for good and evil, that is a problem for politicians to consider.

"The Saudis are very unhappy..."

William said loudly, otherwise the wind was too loud for Captain Robert to hear.

Robert nodded. He could also see that the Saudis were clearly very dissatisfied with the United States' sudden request to borrow the Tabuk Air Base this time without giving prior notice as they had in the past.

But this was none of the business of soldiers like them. After a short rest for one day at the base belonging to the Special Operations Command in Qatar, the reassembled NEST troops and the equipment mobilized from nearby were all sent to the Tabuk Air Base together.

Major William and the others did not follow the main force of the Fifth Fleet to the Red Sea area.

The order they received was to rest temporarily at the Tabuk Air Base and then wait for the next order.

As for what the next order was, no one could be sure yet.

Major William and the others were the same, because of the encounter of the main force of the Second Fleet, whether the government would eventually issue an order for an all-out war against the Decepticons was still an unknown.

On the North Atlantic, a warship was riding the wind and waves, speeding toward the Yindu Yang region.

This warship, which looked exactly like the Russian Army Project 22350 missile frigate that had appeared in major European and American military newspapers in the past few years, was none other than Hailishi, which had just been fully resupplied in Severodvinsk not long ago.

Sun Cheng stood alone on the bow of the ship, watching the waves constantly broken by the bow that was like a sharp blade, and no emotional fluctuations could be seen on his face.

He did not leave Hailishi to head south first just because time was too urgent.

This guy's head was not very bright, and he was also a fragile Warrior; without anyone to protect him, Hailishi was very vulnerable.

Moreover, Sun Cheng did not intend to join the fierce battle that was destined to have the Autobots and the Decepticon Legion as the main forces. He indeed had not given up on the 【Matrix of Leadership】 and would still remain hidden on the side, waiting for an opportunity to seize it.

But if he could not wait for an opportunity, Sun Cheng would still give up on the 【Matrix of Leadership】 all the same.

He already had a new choice, and Thunder and Excavator and the others had already locked onto the target.

A Pyramid of very grand scale located within Egypt.
