Chapter 613: Decisive Battle in Egypt (Part 1)

"Two rounds of submarine-launched... forty-eight missiles fired..."

"According to the Master's orders... immediately pass through Gibraltar after completion... temporarily withdraw to the Atlantic Ocean to lurk..."

In a certain sea area in the eastern Mediterranean, three Yasen-class nuclear submarines that had been lurking and remaining silent on the seabed for a long time were conducting two rounds of submarine launches, each having fired sixteen medium-range missiles equipped with electromagnetic pulse bomb warheads.

The Decepticon Workers responsible for controlling the nuclear submarines on board, following Sun Cheng's orders, methodically withdrew from the lurking sea area and began to transfer toward the Atlantic Ocean.

As the first to discover the existence of the Nameless Temple, although Sun Cheng had never participated in the battle for the Matrix of Leadership.

This did not mean he had been without any action; on the contrary, Sun Cheng's small maneuvers had never stopped.

Drones equipped with optical stealth devices had been hovering over the skies of Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

Ever since the Fifth Fleet was also attacked, he had been paying attention to the U. S. military's subsequent actions.

After all, Sun Cheng's soul was still human, and he understood human vengefulness quite well, especially a superpower like the United States that had been throwing its weight around and acting like a bully for decades after the war; they were the only ones who ever bullied others.

In less than a short month, the main forces of the Second and Fifth Fleets were successively attacked, with thousands of soldiers killed or injured and countless warships lost.

It would be strange if they could swallow this insult.

Sure enough, a drone hovering over Saudi Arabia accidentally captured a scene of the U. S. military using a C-17 transport aircraft to transport a GBU-43B heavy air-blast bomb.

More than a thousand kilometers away, inside Egypt.

Watching the C-130 and C-17 transport aircraft belonging to the U. S. Air Force, which were about to arrive at the combat zone of The Fallen and the others under the escort of dozens of F-15 Series Fighters, Sun Cheng shook his head and said to the Pioneer beside him.

"It's a pity that humans are too wishful... The power of the GBU-43B heavy air-blast bomb is unquestionable. If the data exposed is correct, this bomb can definitely severely damage a Leader Class warrior... but its weight and delivery method, even if it can hit Normal Mode Autobots and Decepticons, it is impossible to hurt The Fallen at all... His speed is too fast..."

The U. S. Air Force did not notice at all that more than four thousand meters above their entire flight formation, a drone in an optical stealth state was flying at an altitude of eighteen thousand meters, continuously forwarding the captured data to Sun Cheng and his group.

Ever since he learned that the U. S. Fifth Fleet had been attacked and the Autobot Leader Optimus Prime had died, Sun Cheng had arranged for a drone to tail them throughout the process.

Although to avoid exposure, he always controlled the following distance, resulting in his understanding of the situation on the Autobot side being far less detailed than on the U. S. military side.

But the battle between Ironhide and Astrotrain near the Nameless Temple, as well as The Fallen appearing in person and attacking Bumblebee and the others, still allowed him to deduce a lot of useful information.

"... Master, is this The Fallen..."

The Pioneer was still somewhat shocked by the powerful combat strength displayed by The Fallen in the video transmitted back by the drone.

An almost indestructible body, immense strength, unparalleled speed, electromagnetic field control, and other abilities that might not have been exposed yet.

This was The Fallen, an existence so powerful it made them feel suffocated.

Sun Cheng was silent for a while, and it was not until the drone transmitted that U. S. military aircraft had begun to drop the GBU-43B heavy air-blast bomb in Jordan that he spoke again, saying: "This is all we can do. Let the drone return; The Fallen is not someone we can deal with right now. Leave it to the Autobots to worry about."

The power of The Fallen could absolutely not be resolved by a few dozen electromagnetic pulse bombs and GBU-43B heavy air-blast bombs. Even Sun Cheng himself, if he were determined to escape, should still be able to get away even if he had to risk being severely injured.

However, The Fallen was still too confident. The forty-eight electromagnetic pulse bombs launched by the three Yasen-class nuclear submarines were concentrated into an area of less than two square kilometers; the explosive electromagnetic shock would definitely affect him for a period of time.

Therefore, whether he could dodge the subsequent GBU-43B bombing was a question.

Of course, the possibility of killing The Fallen by relying on these weapons was not high.

Sun Cheng did not count on the U. S. military succeeding in one battle. After ordering the Pioneer to withdraw the drone over Jordan, he led his team to Egypt.

That Pyramid they had previously discovered to be problematic needed to be dealt with.

The camera shifts, returning to Jordan once again.

Because they were too careless, and also because they did not expect that the warheads on the incoming missiles were all electromagnetic pulse bombs.

When the first missile landed more than eighty meters away from The Fallen and exploded, the suddenly erupting electromagnetic shockwave immediately made him realize something was wrong.

But it was too late!

Sun Cheng had waited for so long, waiting until the U. S. military was ready to drop the GBU-43B heavy air-blast bomb, before suddenly erupting.

Besides wanting to let the GBU-43B hit The Fallen, he also saw that after The Fallen easily dealt with a group of Autobots, he had relaxed his vigilance due to being too smug.

He grasped this moment of timing perfectly!

The electromagnetic pulse bombs that fell from the sky one after another detonated, and the rapidly spreading electromagnetic shock not only caused great damage to all the Autobots present—almost all of them were lying on the ground, emitting thick white smoke and electric sparks, unable to move anymore.

Even the careless The Fallen, whose body was several times larger than the Autobots, was now emitting thick white smoke, just like a fire giant whose flames had just been extinguished.

"Who is it..."

The Fallen roared at the sky. Ever since he was severely injured by his six brothers working together, this was the biggest loss he had suffered in the past millions of years.

His unkind gaze turned to the Autobots lying all over the ground, and he immediately gripped the Matrix of Leadership in his hand, but soon frowned slightly.

"Haunting me..."

The Fallen snorted coldly. The Matrix of Leadership contained immense, unrivaled energy, but at this moment, this energy seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep; no matter how he tried to awaken it, he received no response.

"Bang!"

A grenade accurately hit the wrist of The Fallen as he held the Matrix of Leadership. The huge impact made his palm shake, and for a moment he did not hold it steady; the Matrix of Leadership immediately fell out of The Fallen's palm.

"Mikaela!"

Ironhide, who had just arrived, shouted loudly. Mikaela, who had not suffered any damage under the impact of the previous wave of electromagnetic pulse bombs, subconsciously jumped up and grabbed the falling Matrix of Leadership.

"Catch it..."

Mikaela used all her strength to throw the Matrix of Leadership toward Ironhide, who had just arrived from the direction of the Nameless Temple.

And he did not let down Mikaela's efforts; he ran forward quickly and caught the Matrix of Leadership fiercely, then saw Ironhide's chest open, revealing a storage space.

He placed the Matrix of Leadership inside, then abandoned Sam and the others without hesitation and drove away quickly toward the distance.

And in the sky behind Ironhide, flowers of parachutes that had opened and were falling rapidly suddenly appeared.

The GBU-43B had arrived!

ps:

My train of thought isn't very smooth, sorry for the delay.
