Chapter 680: Each Taking What They Need
With the Autobots joining in, the stalemate on Trindade Island immediately turned into a one-sided rout.
Optimus Prime was still thinking about Astrotrain; no matter how good his temper was, facing Astrotrain, who had participated in the ambush against him last time, he felt a surge of hostility rising from his chest.
As the saying goes, enemies are especially jealous when they meet; he immediately led his four guards to charge forward and engaged Astrotrain in battle.
Ironhide looked at Soundwave; as Optimus Prime's lieutenant, he naturally recognized this Intelligence Chief of the Decepticon Legion.
He still remembered that Sun Cheng had mentioned last time that currently only Soundwave and Starscream knew the whereabouts of the former Autobot Leader, Sentinel Prime.
Therefore, Ironhide immediately wanted to charge forward to subdue Soundwave.
"He is mine!"
Sun Cheng stopped Ironhide without hesitation, while simultaneously controlling his Private Legion to focus all firepower on Soundwave.
He was not afraid of his Private Legion being exposed; for one, this set of tactics still had huge room for improvement.
Secondly, the relationship between Sun Cheng and the Autobots was not one of life-and-death enmity, and in the future, unless the other side actively provoked him, he would also try his best to avoid it.
After all, with Megatron, whose hatred could not be resolved, he was destined to be a stranger to the Decepticon Legion.
If there were one more Autobot faction, Sun Cheng's future days would be too difficult.
Ironhide frowned, but ultimately chose to concede.
Nodding slightly, he immediately joined the battle where Optimus Prime and the others were besieging Astrotrain.
Facing Soundwave, who had just been severely wounded by him, Sun Cheng did not spend much effort.
He saw that Soundwave already had the intention to retreat, but he actively stuck to him to engage in close-quarters combat, while controlling his Private Legion to crazily snipe at Soundwave.
A few minutes later, a bullet fired from a Long-Range Sniper Robot hit Soundwave's exposed chest.
The sense of crisis coming from his Spark made him lose his footing for a moment, and how could Sun Cheng miss such a good opportunity?
He grinned ferociously and thrust his Ship-Slaying Blade into Soundwave's chest, directly piercing Soundwave's Spark, and amidst the azure electric arcs that erupted from his shattered Spark, he violently pulled the Ship-Slaying Blade out again.
Soundwave, dead!
Watching Soundwave, who had once forced him to not dare to expose himself for a long time, fall heavily to the ground.
While Sun Cheng was excited, there was also a faint sadness in his heart.
This was a very good opponent!
However, only a dead opponent is a good opponent!
Dispelling the inexplicable touch of sadness that emerged in his heart, Sun Cheng glanced at the Autobots and Astrotrain who were still in a fierce battle nearby.
He silently picked up one of Soundwave's legs and dragged him away from this battlefield.
Sun Cheng did not know if Starscream was really hiding nearby, waiting to see him and Soundwave's side suffer both losses before coming out to reap the benefits.
But all of this, with the appearance of the Autobots, had the possibility completely dispelled.
Starscream was too cautious; with the power he held in his hands, Sun Cheng believed that if he wanted to, he should be able to destroy him.
It was just that facing the Autobots led by Optimus Prime, unless Shockwave arrived quickly and joined forces with him.
Otherwise, facing a young Autobot Leader in peak condition, Starscream had no chance of winning at all.
Dragging Soundwave's corpse to the side, Sun Cheng controlled the Second Generation Aerial Combat Robots to patrol around him to keep watch, and he placed one hand on Soundwave's head.
Special bone joints resembling liquid quickly drilled into Soundwave's head, and special characters soon began to appear in Sun Cheng's eyes; those were characters from the planet Cybertron.
A massive amount of information flooded into Sun Cheng's mind, complex and messy, making it impossible for his Core to quickly complete reading and processing.
Fortunately, he also knew that Trindade Island was not safe now, so Sun Cheng just saved all the information he read into his Memory Chip and searched with all his might for everything in Soundwave's memory regarding Sentinel Prime.
With his Core running at full capacity, thick white smoke soon rose from his head.
Even Sun Cheng's body trembled along with it.
The reading of Soundwave's memory did not last too long; accompanied by a scream from Astrotrain, Optimus Prime pierced his chest with a sword.
The scream woke Sun Cheng, who was still reading the memory, and his vigilance toward the Autobots made him realize that he was not safe yet.
It was he who used the intelligence that Sentinel Prime was still alive to lure Optimus Prime and the others here, helping himself solve the two great enemies, Soundwave and Astrotrain, in one fell swoop.
Autobots are useful when used, but they are also deadly.
They were originally skeptical about the intelligence Sun Cheng mentioned earlier that Sentinel Prime was still alive, although solving Soundwave and Astrotrain was also an unexpected surprise for them.
But if it were confirmed to them that Sun Cheng was just using the Autobots, the cooperation and relationship he had worked so hard to establish with the Autobots would immediately fall into a deep valley.
Fortunately, Soundwave did not disappoint Sun Cheng.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he withdrew his hand from Soundwave's head and saw Optimus Prime and the others looking at him in unison.
Sun Cheng smiled and nodded, "Rest assured, Lord Optimus Prime, I have already found the intelligence regarding Lord Sentinel Prime!"
Tapping lightly on his chest, after his chest opened, a metal plate immediately ejected.
Sun Cheng held it, and his eyes projected two azure beams of light, transmitting a portion of what he had just seen from Soundwave's head into the metal plate.
This series of actions did not delay him for too long; after finishing quickly, he walked toward Optimus Prime with the metal plate.
"Lord Optimus Prime, thank you very much for your and the Autobots' help today..."
These few sentences did not contain a hint of falsehood: "Without your help, I might have fallen into the hands of Soundwave and Astrotrain today. As a former member of the Decepticon Legion, I know very well that once a traitor like me falls into their hands, the outcome is likely to be worse than death."
Lifting the metal plate and handing it to Optimus Prime, Sun Cheng continued: "Inside this is the location of Sentinel Prime's spaceship crash on the Moon that I just found from Soundwave's memory, as well as the coordinates of the Decepticon Base established by Starscream on the Moon! I hope it can be of help to your rescue of Sentinel Prime!"
Optimus Prime took the metal disk with a grave expression, and only after reading the information inside in front of Sun Cheng did a smile finally appear on his face.
"That's right, this is indeed the teacher's spaceship... Thank you very much, Lord Frenzy..."
"We are all getting what we need; just like you helped me, I will not let a friend down either!"
"A friend, you say... As long as you no longer harbor hostility toward the Autobots, I can guarantee you that the Autobots are willing to make you this friend!"
"Thank you!"

PS:
Guests came to my house this morning, and hosting them and cooking delayed me a bit. Fortunately, I finished just in time, a few minutes late, please forgive me.
