Chapter 765: Rescue Sentinel Prime (Part 2)

Above the lunar orbit, four suddenly appearing artificial satellites were orbiting this satellite of Earth, dutifully transmitting everything they could capture back to Earth, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

Because of the war occurring on the Dark Side of the Moon, no one had yet noticed these few artificial satellites launched into lunar orbit on the same day.

Still on the Dark Side of the Moon, following an order from Optimus Prime, the Autobots, who had already begun to suffer heavy casualties and were unable to tend to the wounded, quickly huddled together.

Ironhide, Drift, Sideswipe, and several other Elite Warriors acted as the rearguard alongside the young Autobot Leader; fighting as they retreated, they began to move toward the location of the crashed ship reported back by the Cassette Troops.

Even Superion, who was currently pummeling Devastator and had already gained the upper hand, received the order from Optimus Prime.

"Retreat now? Shouldn't we finish this guy off first?"

Looking at Devastator, whom he had just knocked down with a punch and then lifted and thrown dozens of meters away, the voice of the deputy captain, Air Raid, inside Superion's chassis sounded somewhat reluctant.

Ever since the civil war ended over a hundred years ago and the Autobots fled Cybertron in defeat, because the energy consumption of Superion was terrifying, and the five members of the Aerialbots were all Elite Warriors, there was simply no need to combine for minor conflicts and battles.

Therefore, today's battle was the first time they, the Aerialbots, had combined to transform into Superion since the end of the civil war.

Known as the strongest second-generation Giant Combiner, Superion's combat power naturally went without saying.

Although Devastator could contend with it briefly, its strength, agility, and destructive power were all significantly inferior to Superion's.

Thus, in this provocative battle initiated by Devastator, the Aerialbot squad controlling Superion was having a very good time.

That was why the brave and battle-hardened deputy captain, Air Raid, appeared somewhat unhappy when he heard the Leader's order, as his battle had been interrupted.

The air combat theory expert, Skydive, realized the problem and warned seriously: "Captain, prepare to retreat. It looks like there might be trouble on the Leader's side after we leave. There are simply too many Decepticons on this satellite; if we delay any longer, it will be troublesome once our combination time runs out!"

Air Raid grunted; he was indeed reckless, but that did not mean he lacked a brain.

From the moment of combination until now, they had been fighting for over two hours.

Even during the civil war, Superion would not forcibly persist until the chassis's separation mechanism activated, forcibly splitting the five Autobots apart.

Because disengaging the combination under those circumstances meant that the energy within each of their Sparks was nearly exhausted.

In such a situation, it would be dangerous if they encountered any sudden emergencies afterward.

Aside from having a severe fear of heights, Silverbolt possessed outstanding abilities in all other aspects, which was why he was trusted and appointed as the captain of the Aerialbot squad despite having such a fatal psychological condition.

After a moment of thought, Silverbolt made the most correct choice.

Raising his hand, he aimed his laser particle gun at Devastator, who had just climbed back up, and fired.

The flying Energy Bullet hit Devastator accurately, causing the big guy to stagger; a horrifying wound quickly appeared on his left waist, and he fell back down to the ground.

"Retreat!" Silverbolt issued the order: "Rendezvous with the Leader and the others, and prepare to disengage the combination after the rendezvous!"

As the most powerful second-generation Giant Combiner, unless Devastator fought to the death, it could not possibly keep Superion from retreating.

Ten-plus minutes later, Superion had followed the electromagnetic spectrum continuously emitted by Optimus Prime and caught up with the team.

By this time, the Autobots raiding the Moon had dwindled to fewer than seventy.

No Autobot had time to grieve; the Decepticon Replica Warrior Legion behind them was still biting onto the Autobots like jackals that had smelled blood, and the sounds of explosions from the battle rang out from time to time.

However, finding that the situation was not too dire, Silverbolt requested of the Leader, Optimus Prime: "Leader, we are preparing to disengage the combination, requesting approval!"

Superion was one of the most important combat forces of the Autobot faction, so a series of strict control procedures had been established since the era of Sentinel Prime to prevent any possible mutiny.

Do not think that this was an impossible thing!

During the Cybertronian Civil War, which lasted for millions of years, almost every year there would be war-weary Decepticons defecting to the Autobot camp.

Likewise, there were also Autobots who, due to extreme fear of the war, hatred of Sentinel Prime, or dread of Megatron, knelt and surrendered to the Decepticon Legion.

Optimus Prime agreed immediately, "Approval granted to disengage the combination; Military Knife, Storm, you are responsible for protecting the Aerialbots!"

Although by voluntarily disengaging the combination, the Aerialbots avoided completely losing their combat capability, they would still fall into a period of weakness.

During this time, the Aerialbots were more easily targeted than before, and Optimus Prime knew this, which was why he dispatched several Autobots to protect their safety.

The Decepticons bit onto the Autobots tightly, chasing them for twenty or thirty kilometers before finally gradually widening the distance.

Optimus Prime deliberately led them on a detour because he worried that his intentions were too obvious, which would let the Decepticons notice their true goal and lead to an increase in the number of Decepticons guarding the crashed ship.

"Leader, it seems the Decepticons are no longer chasing us?"

Sideswipe was the first to notice the disappearance of the Replica Warriors, but no joy could be seen on his face.

On the Moon, which had been managed by the Decepticons for over a hundred years, they had no idea what they might encounter next.

Optimus Prime gave a look to Drift; Drift understood and jumped into mid-air, transforming into an armed helicopter, flying into the high sky to circle for a while before slowly descending.

"No Decepticons are continuing to pursue; it seems they have called off the troops!"

"This is strange!" Sideswipe warned: "Perhaps the other side has already set an ambush over at the ship!"

Ironhide looked at Optimus Prime: "Leader, what is the situation with the Cassette Troops?"

Optimus Prime was also frowning in thought, but he still answered his question: "The Decepticon guards encountered by the Cassette Corps near the ship were not many; the Decepticons do not seem to value that crashed ship very much, and the guards have already been lured away by them!"

He also faintly sensed that there might be something strange about the ship.

After thinking for a moment, he issued an order to Drift.

"Drift, you go to the ship first to scout whether there is an ambush, and be sure to report the situation to me at any time!"

"Leave it to me, Leader!"

Drift agreed, flew back into the high sky, and soon disappeared from sight.

Looking at Drift from afar, Optimus Prime ordered the Autobots behind him: "We will also pick up the pace; regardless of whether there is an ambush, we must make this trip!"
