Chapter 672: Cassette Corps: Civil War (Part 2)
Soundwave and the others are here!
As the distance continuously closed, the familiar electromagnetic spectrum had already allowed Sun Cheng to lock onto the identity of the incoming targets.
"It's Soundwave!"
A happy smile finally appeared on his face; his disguise of being fierce but cowardly seemed to be very successful.
Soundwave and the others were not deterred by the few tentative waves of missile attacks; on the contrary, they were charging toward Trindade Island at high speed.
So much so that just as the third round of anti-aircraft missiles fired by the island's Anti-Aircraft System ascended, Soundwave and the others had already appeared several hundred meters above the small island.
This round of anti-aircraft missiles was, unsurprisingly, easily intercepted.
The roar caused by the explosions could be heard clearly by the Autobots lurking tens of kilometers away.
"Leader, it seems like Frenzy and the others have already started fighting over there!"
Before the hot-tempered Ironhide could even speak, it was Drift who couldn't hold back this time, speaking up to request to join the battle.
Optimus Prime frowned slightly; what he cared about most right now was the news about his teacher—Sentinel Prime—that Frenzy had mentioned.
That was why he had led a group of the most elite Autobot Warriors currently arrived on Earth, accepted Frenzy's invitation to come here, and lurked for several days just to help him defeat Soundwave and obtain intelligence about Sentinel Prime's whereabouts from Soundwave.
Several days of anxious waiting had left Optimus Prime feeling somewhat restless now.
However, thinking of Frenzy's special reminder just now, he suppressed the agitation in his heart.
"... Stay calm and don't be impatient. Frenzy reminded us just now to wait until Soundwave has completely entered the trap he set before joining the battlefield, to prevent him from escaping after seeing us..."
With his reassurance, the Autobots finally held their patience.
Meanwhile, on Trindade Island, under the fixed gaze of Sun Cheng and his group, Soundwave and the others finally landed on Trindade Island; three of them landed not far from Sun Cheng and his group, while the other three landed separately at the Workers' barracks and two anti-aircraft missile sites.
"Boom!"
The three Decepticons suspected to be members of the Terrorcons began destroying everything after landing.
The Combat Robots patrolling the island, under the command of the Workers, began to fight them.
As a high-ranking Commander, Soundwave was not a very powerful Warrior.
His chassis was silver-gray, and his size looked similar to Thunder's.
I don't know if it was because Sun Cheng and the others had forcibly driven away the mechanical bird not long ago, or if he had come here specifically to pick a fight this time.
In any case, after Soundwave landed, he looked at them—or rather, at Sun Cheng—with a gloomy face.
This silver-gray mechanical giant carried a sonic cannon on his right shoulder, his left arm was extended and slightly raised, and a mechanical bird was currently squatting on his arm.
Sensing that Soundwave had locked onto him, Sun Cheng did not give him a pleasant look either.
Although this Commander of the 【Cassette Corps】 in front of him was his nominal superior, as he also belonged to the 【Cassette Corps】, the relationship between the two could hardly be called good.
"Activate Anti-Electromagnetic Interference!"
Back in Severodvinsk, that sudden visit from Soundwave had caused Sun Cheng and his group to suffer a small loss.
It was also at that time that he remembered it was said that Soundwave's chassis had been specially modified by Shockwave, and the sensors within his body could emit and receive the weakest electronic signals.
This special ability allowed Soundwave, when close enough to any target, to even detect the thoughts in the other party's brain, which was why he was rumored behind his back by the Autobots and Decepticons who feared him to be a terrifying existence who had mastered 'Mind Reading'.
After that encounter, Sun Cheng had successively had all his Decepticon Warriors perform minor upgrades to their chassis, adding a set of Anti-Electromagnetic Interference Devices to their bodies to prevent being caught off guard and having secrets stolen by Soundwave again.
Pioneer and the others tacitly activated their Anti-Electromagnetic Interference Devices, completely driving away the suspicious electromagnetic fluctuations wandering around them that were almost impossible to detect.
The sensors inside his body failed to obtain any useful information because of the Anti-Electromagnetic Interference Devices within Sun Cheng and his group's chassis.
This Decepticon Intelligence Chief, whom the Autobots and many Decepticons called the 'Master of Mind Reading', looked even gloomier.
"Do you want to be the next Swindle?"
His low voice was cold and ruthless. Soundwave glanced disdainfully at Swindle, who had betrayed Starscream and the Decepticon Legion, scaring the cowardly guy so much that his chassis trembled slightly, and he hurriedly turned his head away, not daring to look Soundwave in the eye again.
Sun Cheng narrowed his eyes, "Although I don't know what you have misunderstood, Lord Soundwave, we are not pushovers either... You suddenly attacked my island fortress today; if you don't give me a satisfactory answer, this won't end!"
He expressed his dissatisfaction to Soundwave in an extremely tough voice, while Pioneer and Thunder beside him also seemed to have received his hint, pulling out their weapons with unfriendly expressions.
It was as if they only needed one word from Sun Cheng to teach Soundwave a lesson.
Ravage crouched into a pouncing posture, the single eye on its head flashing with a scarlet light.
Laserbeak also flew into the sky, circling continuously above the few Decepticons.
Seeing that he didn't even want the facade of the 【Cassette Corps】 anymore and was actually challenging his authority so toughly.
His gaze immediately became colder than before, "I underestimated you, Frenzy... After staying with Brawl, Starscream, and the others for so long, now even you dare to defy me and resist the Decepticon Legion?"
After speaking, the sonic cannon on his right shoulder adjusted its muzzle, aiming at Sun Cheng's head.
A low growl came from Ravage's mouth, and the Terrorcons, who were constantly destroying things on the island, were still creating explosions.
Sun Cheng suddenly had a very familiar feeling about this scene.
After a brief recollection, the corners of his mouth immediately curved into an arc.
A few months ago, at the Severodvinsk naval port.
That day, Soundwave also attacked. He suppressed the anxiety in his heart, braced himself to talk back to Soundwave toughly, and had a small fight with him.
It was precisely because of that battle that Sun Cheng finally understood the strength he currently possessed, and also gained a better understanding of the Decepticons' tendency to bully the weak and fear the strong.
"Master, I am in position and ready to enter the battle at any time..."
In the communication channel, the voice of Hailishi suddenly came from tens of kilometers away.
"Aren't you all the same, wanting my life one by one?"
Sun Cheng stared fiercely at Soundwave and let out a ferocious roar, then he suddenly pulled out his Ship-Slaying Blade: "We aren't people anyone can bully, attack!"
Thunder and Pioneer immediately pulled out their weapons, Ravage pounced toward Swindle, while Laserbeak rushed toward Thunder, simultaneously emitting a shrill scream.
The three Terrorcon members who were destroying other parts of the island immediately seemed to have received an order, quickly disengaged from the battle, and rushed toward them.
Without needing anyone to remind him, Pioneer immediately went up to meet them.
And Sun Cheng grappled with Soundwave.
