Chapter 615: Decisive Battle in Egypt (Part II)

On the Giza Plateau, approximately ten kilometers southwest of Cairo, Sun Cheng stood before a massive pyramid, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Isn't this the Khufu Pyramid?"

Although he had already discovered it previously, the Earth of the 【Transformers Universe】 had been influenced by the planet Cybertron since ancient times.

But this influence was surely a bit too extensive!

This pyramid, which should have been named "Khufu," the largest in ancient Egypt, had ultimately become a "Nameless Pyramid" that neither Egyptian nor European archaeological circles could identify, because archaeological investigations revealed its construction history likely exceeded a million years.

Stored within Sun Cheng's mind was intelligence he had collected from the Earths of two different worlds.

This included a series of detailed maps of Earth, so that in his spare time, he could carefully compare the differences between the Earths of the two worlds.

However, although he had doubts in his heart, Sun Cheng did not show them.

The Earth of this world was far too heavily influenced by Cybertronian civilization.

Just a few months ago, he had even discovered the remains of a Pathfinder in an inverted pyramid somewhere in South America.

Earth, this planet located in a remote corner of the Milky Way, seemed to possess a certain indescribable attraction for Cybertronians.

So much so that from the Primes of the primordial past, to the Pathfinders of the ancient era, and then to the modern-day Decepticons and Autobots.

Many buildings left behind by ancient civilizations on Earth had been branded with the marks of Cybertronians.

This actually even included the Great Wall, which was truly laughable and lamentable.

Parallel worlds, how wonderful.

"Hailishi, we have arrived at our destination... prepare to transform into warship mode, drones will provide you with precise coordinate guidance... switch to anti-ship missiles, conduct a round of missile bombardment..."

Sun Cheng had temporarily left Hailishi over in the Mediterranean; considering his head didn't seem all that bright, the Pioneer was also left behind by Sun Cheng to protect him.

After all, that big guy's chassis was very fragile; he had powerful medium-to-long-range firepower, but in close-quarters combat, he was an out-and-out novice.

Thundercracker and Scrapper were by Sun Cheng's side; they had been sent into Egypt by Sun Cheng half a month ago.

The pyramid before them was found by Thundercracker and Scrapper based on intelligence they had previously obtained.

Although he felt a bit sorry for Egypt, considering the weapon system capable of destroying stars created by The Fallen, it was highly likely to be hidden within this pyramid.

Therefore, Sun Cheng gave the order to Hailishi without hesitation, having him—currently located in the Mediterranean—fire missiles to remotely destroy the heavy brick shell covering the superweapon inside the pyramid.

It was less than two hundred kilometers from Cairo to the Mediterranean; this distance was naturally well within Hailishi's range.

Although he was very confident in his shooting accuracy, considering that when the missiles exploded, it was very likely that the bricks on the pyramid would be blown away.

Sun Cheng did not want to be injured by the massive stones of the pyramid, which weighed anywhere from several tons to dozens of tons, so after issuing the order to Hailishi, he waved for Thundercracker and Scrapper to follow, and the three Decepticons retreated into a valley one kilometer away from the pyramid.

They did not have to wait long before the whistling sound of missiles resonated across the sky.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

On the Type 22350 frigate that Hailishi transformed into, there were two vertical launch systems in the front and back, each with forty missile launch tubes; one of his volleys was eighty missiles.

The anti-ship missiles equipped on Hailishi's warship were not Russian anti-ship missiles, but a new type of anti-ship missile independently manufactured by Base No. 2 after dissecting Harpoon Anti-ship Missiles obtained from the Brazilian Navy.

This anti-ship missile was an upgraded version of the Harpoon, with a total weight of 742 kilograms, a length of 3.25 meters, and a warhead capable of carrying 292 kilograms of High-Explosive Explosive.

Because of its extended-range design, its maximum range reached over 560 kilometers, and its maximum speed was also increased to Mach 1.82.

Using this type of anti-ship missile to deal with human-made warships, especially light frigates under 3,000 tons, was almost one shot per target.

Even 6,000-ton large frigates or medium destroyers could not withstand being hit by two of them.

However, using it to attack a pyramid whose total weight of construction stone might reach six or seven million tons would undoubtedly result in a greatly diminished effect.

Considering that Egypt was one of the few military powers in the African region, and Cairo was its capital, it was bound to have deployed an Anti-aircraft Missile System.

To avoid being intercepted later, Sun Cheng simply had Hailishi conduct a volley against this pyramid.

Even if only half of the eighty missiles landed on the pyramid, it should be enough to leave some huge holes in the body of that Nameless Pyramid.

At that time, Sun Cheng and his group would quickly enter the interior of the pyramid to find the superweapon that might be hidden within.

One missile after another drew glaring arcs across the night sky, as striking as shooting stars.

Having been bustling all day, the Egyptian capital of Cairo, which had not yet completely quieted down, instantly fell into panic due to the arrival of these "visitors."

"Enemy attack!"

"Airstrike!"

Piercing air-raid sirens sounded within Cairo; the military, which had been made somewhat nervous by the alien war on Highway 17 in the Sinai Peninsula not long ago, immediately fell into a panic.

Sun Cheng would not bother with this panicked country under his feet; although his way of thinking was becoming more and more like a Decepticon, he was not one after all.

As long as he was not actively provoked, he basically would not take the initiative to attack any human country on Earth.

Even regarding the expansion of Base No. 2 in South America, Sun Cheng basically followed the principle of "supporting proxies on the surface, then expanding in secret, trying as much as possible not to let the countries under control fall into civil war or chaos."

"What wonderful fireworks!"

Scrapper stood on the high slope of the valley, watching the firelight that lit up as the missiles continuously bombarded the pyramid one kilometer away, his eyes full of intoxication.

Sun Cheng narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Recently, he had sensed changes in Scrapper; this guy, like Frenzy, must have died in battle a long time ago.

For some unknown reason afterward, he was resurrected by Starscream and became an inconspicuous Cannon Fodder Warrior under his command.

In the blink of an eye, Scrapper had been with Sun Cheng for nearly a year.

During this time, by selling out intelligence on Starscream and the Moon Base, he had also obtained many good things from Sun Cheng.

Energy Weapons, Optical Stealth Devices, Anti-electromagnetic Devices, etc.; in the process of constantly strengthening himself, the memories belonging to Scrapper's previous life seemed to be recovering bit by bit.

Sun Cheng now had a vague feeling that the one beside him could no longer be called Scrapper.

As for what Scrapper's current or past name actually was, he did not know for the time being.

However, Sun Cheng had a feeling that this guy would tell him himself very soon.

Because Earth was in chaos now, and the best time for all ambitious people had arrived.
