Chapter 664: Civil War of the Cassette Corps (First Update) Seeking Subscriptions

Saint Helena, another volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean.

This place is an isolated overseas island belonging to the British, nearly two thousand kilometers from the west coast of Africa, and over three thousand kilometers from the east coast of South America.

Compared to the island's area of over one hundred square kilometers, there are only a few thousand permanent residents, and they are highly concentrated in the habitable area surrounded by hills in the east and center.

Because a large area of the island's east, south, and west near the coast is uninhabited, this place was selected by Sun Cheng as the meeting point for him and Starscream.

His wariness of Starscream is even greater than that of the Autobots, and he cannot meet him without making full preparations, because no one knows if this cunning and treacherous guy will suddenly turn hostile during the meeting and stab him hard in the back.

Sun Cheng arrived at Saint Helena one day ahead of the agreed time, and after some arrangements, he sent the coordinates to Starscream.

About four or five hours later, that familiar desert-camouflage F-22 Fighter Jet appeared in the sky.

"Master! He is here!"

Seeing that Sun Cheng was closing his eyes and thinking, Thunder, who was responsible for guarding nearby, could not help but remind him.

"Hmm!"

Sun Cheng opened his eyes and looked up at the F-22 Fighter Jet that looked like a meteor, as if it had flown directly from the Moon; he still had no clue about the upcoming meeting.

"Why on earth did this guy suddenly take the initiative to contact me?"

Starscream came alone, his speed was very fast, and he landed on the island shortly after.

"Oh, my dear friend, I am so glad to still be able to see you now..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, there was that shrill, mocking laughter unique to Starscream.

Sun Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at him; not long ago, he had made a deal with Starscream using information about the Matrix of Leadership.

The two of them could be considered to have schemed against each other; Sun Cheng was unable to find the Matrix of Leadership, so he used something he couldn't get to scheme against almost all of his opponents.

However, Starscream is truly capable to have been able to resist and stir up trouble within the Decepticon Legion and still not be liquidated by Megatron to this day.

Although he is greedy, he did not fall into the trap; after realizing that he also could not get the Matrix of Leadership, he immediately informed The Fallen of this information.

The two schemed against each other, and as a result, neither was fooled.

Instead, they cooperated with a tacit understanding, dragging the Autobots, The Fallen, and the Americans into the water.

"The Fallen has already been destroyed by the Autobot leader Optimus Prime... I am curious, why did you suddenly look for me?"

Starscream's scarlet eyes carefully sized up Thunder, as if he had discovered something, and he chuckled twice.

"Soundwave is still on Earth, you must feel very annoyed right now too!"

It is indeed annoying, but as a high-level Commander, even if Soundwave is not good at fighting, he still has a considerable advantage when facing Sun Cheng.

Although his current body has been specifically optimized for combat many times, at most it can only allow him to not fall behind for a short time when facing Soundwave; it is still very difficult to solve the opponent unless someone creates an opportunity for him.

Thinking of this, Sun Cheng looked at Starscream calmly: "I am not the only one who is uncomfortable; didn't you already test him a year ago? I don't believe that if there were a chance to kill him, you wouldn't do it!"

"Hehe!"

Starscream understood that the other party understood what he meant.

"You seem to like doing business, so let's make a deal..."

He looked at Sun Cheng and grinned very brightly, but that mouthful of ferocious, fine fangs made him look exceptionally sinister.

"Shockwave's main force will arrive on Earth in at most two years, but the second advance team he sent will arrive on Earth in a few months. After they arrive, we will no longer have such a good opportunity!"

Without concealing his hatred and wariness of Shockwave, Starscream's scarlet eyes looked exceptionally crazy at this moment.

Sun Cheng was indeed a little tempted; Shockwave's strength definitely reached the Leader Class, and he is a powerful existence recognized by the Decepticon Legion as second only to Megatron.

Moreover, he has long served as the military commander of the Decepticon Legion. If Shockwave leads enough troops to arrive this time, by the time he arrives on Earth, it is estimated that even the Autobots will not have an easy time, let alone a Decepticon traitor like him.

"I am no match for Soundwave..."

After a moment of silence, Sun Cheng spoke slowly, "Onslaught is in the middle of a transformation; he once had close contact with the AllSpark in Sector 7, so it is impossible for him to take action for the time being... As for Jetfire, he hates fighting..."

Half-true and half-false lies, he can now say them casually.

Sun Cheng does not hide the weakness of his faction; this might make Starscream take a risk, but isn't showing weakness a kind of test?

Sure enough, Starscream laughed very happily.

"I can create a relatively 'fair' environment for you; you and your followers will only have Soundwave, Laserbeak, and Ravage as opponents... This is a civil war that belongs only to your Cassette Corps..."

Sun Cheng's heart moved; if the opponents were only Soundwave, Laserbeak, and Ravage, then gathering the forces under his command, there really is a possibility of solving them.

However, he stared at Starscream, "How should Astrotrain be dealt with?"

More than twenty days ago, in the assassination operation against Optimus Prime in the Sinai Peninsula, the Triple Changer Astrotrain could be said to have made a great contribution.

Astrotrain's strength has already exceeded the limit of an Elite Warrior; he has power and a hard body that surpasses a normal Commander. Strictly speaking, he should have been classified into the Commander level long ago, and Sun Cheng even suspects that his strength has reached the level of a high-level Commander.

It is said that the reason Astrotrain stubbornly refuses to accept it is because whether it is the Decepticons or the Autobots, warriors who have reached the Commander level rarely participate directly in battles. Most of the time, they command operations under the protection of guards and adjutants, and only when the battle reaches a white-hot stage will they participate in the battle themselves.

As Shockwave's right-hand man, Astrotrain is less of a qualified general under him and more of a thug.

His desire for battle far exceeds his desire for power, which may be why Shockwave feels at ease modifying Astrotrain many times.

Among the Decepticons who have already arrived on Earth, the four most difficult to deal with are Starscream, Soundwave, Onslaught, and Astrotrain.

If possible, Sun Cheng does not want to face any of them, unless it endangers his life, or someone can offer conditions that tempt him.

Starscream smiled and looked up at the Moon as if he had expected him to ask this, "Thanks to the Autobots, Megatron needs a New Body, which requires a massive amount of resources... I will arrange for Astrotrain to go to the Asteroid Belt to search for metal ores for Megatron's New Body... There is only this one chance!"

The Asteroid Belt is a dense area of asteroids in the Solar System between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It is said that there are hundreds of thousands of asteroids there, many of which have rich metal deposits, and some are even entirely made of metal.

Sun Cheng calculated in his heart; Frenzy's data shows that Astrotrain's fastest speed can even reach Mach 70.

If Starscream can really send him away, even if Soundwave sends a distress signal, the other party will take at least half a month to reach Earth.

There is enough time!
