Chapter 779: Battle of the Black Market Defense (Part 6)

Sun Cheng stood on the summit of Trindade Peak, watching dense swarms of missiles launch from the sky above Trindade Island; streaks of missiles, gushing with white smoke and tongues of fire, shot straight toward the high altitude of over a hundred kilometers, his eyes filled with a touch of intoxication.

This was the foundation he had saved up bit by bit over the past two years in the 【Transformers Multiverse】 world.

It was precisely this increasingly substantial foundation that allowed Sun Cheng's confidence to begin to harden bit by bit.

Now, even if facing Starscream's malice head-on, unless he dared to exhaust the accumulation of the past hundred years, it would not be so easy to take Sun Cheng's life.

At least one thing was certain: if he were determined to flee, Starscream might not necessarily be able to catch him.

The Anti-Aircraft System on the island used technology derived from the export version of the S-300 series Anti-Aircraft System from the old Russians.

Over the past two years, in order to make up for the trade deficit with Moscow, Sun Cheng had not only imported a large amount of various ores and materials from the Polar Bear, but also purchased a significant amount of Russian-style weaponry in bulk.

The orders he placed were enough to ensure that the Russian military-industrial system would not have to worry about having no meat to eat for at least the next ten years.

Having paid so much to buy a batch of weaponry that was not exactly advanced, Sun Cheng naturally would not blindly play the good guy.

Some of the weaponry he truly looked down upon was absorbed by the armies of South American countries like Bolivia and Miguo, which were under the control of Base No. 2, while another portion flowed into the South American Black Market through Yuri's machinations, adding fuel to the conflicts between drug lords and governments in countries like Brazil.

As for some of the better things from the Russian side, such as the S-300 series Anti-Aircraft System that Sun Cheng had purchased in succession, enough to deploy 48 anti-aircraft battalions.

Over the past year or so, Moscow had already successively delivered some S-300s to him.

Relying on the copying ability of his Decepticon engineers, once the first batch of goods was transported back, the Russian-blooded S-300s were dismantled into parts by Sun Cheng's Decepticon engineers and enhanced bit by bit starting from the foundation.

Although the engineers had not invested too much energy into the S-300 series Anti-Aircraft System, starting from half a year ago, those responsible for the continued optimization and upgrading of this anti-aircraft system had long since become several Technical Officers who had received a Worker Promotion.

But it was enough!

On the archipelago, which was no more than a dozen square kilometers in size, Sun Cheng had hidden a full 2 battalions, 8 launch units, and a total of 32 launch systems.

If following the normal anti-aircraft standards of human nations, stuffing so many anti-aircraft systems onto a small island of only a dozen square kilometers would not only be a serious waste of anti-aircraft resources but also unsafe, making it easy to be wiped out in one go by the opponent.

However, those controlling them were not human soldiers but Decepticons; the anti-aircraft missiles deployed on the island never considered the issue of wasting anti-aircraft resources from the very beginning, because what Sun Cheng wanted was absolute safety.

"... The control system has performed its final trajectory correction, the Central Main Control Intelligence's calculations are out, the estimated interception success rate for the first batch of missiles launched by the island's anti-aircraft system is 71.4%..."

"... Hailishi auxiliary calculation system activated, core data processing complete, launching the first batch of missiles, interception success rate is approximately 67.1%..."

The command system on the island was constantly feeding the gathered data back to Sun Cheng.

By the time the meteorites were less than one hundred kilometers from the island, the first batch of anti-aircraft missiles from the modified S-300 series and Hailishi had successively taken off from missile launch vehicles and vertical missile launch silos, shooting toward the 'meteorites' falling from the sky.

Explosions and firelight soon lit up frequently in the sky, as if fireworks had been lit during the day.

Sun Cheng quietly admired the fireworks constantly blooming in the sky; a great battle was about to begin, and as the protagonist, it was not yet time for him to enter the fray.

"Immediately calculate the battle results..."

"Report... fifty-three targets have disappeared, the first round of interception has intercepted approximately one-sixth of the 'meteorites'... detected that the falling 'meteorites' automatically adjusted their descent trajectories to avoid the interceptor missiles... it can basically be confirmed that the 'meteorites' are incoming Decepticons... interception success rate is being recalculated..."

"Trajectory capture successful..."

"Order, third round/fourth round/fifth round of anti-aircraft missiles to launch..."

"Decepticon warriors prepare for ground combat..."

"Heavy firepower beginning Awakening..."

"All Combat Robots Awakening, change to eliminate all intruders mode..."

It was Leiting who took over the safety command of the island; Sun Cheng did not intervene, partly because he also wanted to temper Leiting more so that he could have one more qualified Commander among his subordinates.

Secondly, he was fully occupied with Awakening the 【Private Legion】 deployed on the island in advance.

In the hard battle to follow, Sun Cheng would be the protagonist.

As the second, third, fourth, and fifth rounds of anti-aircraft missiles continued to launch, hundreds of anti-aircraft missiles were continuously fired into the high altitude to intercept those Decepticons falling to Earth from outer space.

The whistling missiles wove a fire blockade net in the sky.

After the increasingly close sounds of explosions, the fireworks in the sky became more and more obvious.

The Decepticon replica warriors that exploded after being hit by missiles scattered and quickly disappeared in the air, like meteorites vaporized after being scorched by the atmosphere.

And those Decepticons that avoided the anti-aircraft missiles by changing trajectories soon faced a new batch of anti-aircraft missile interceptions.

"Launch, do not care about the load on the anti-aircraft system or the waste of missiles... letting those Decepticon replica warriors land on the island is the real disaster..."

Leiting's cold command voice echoed continuously in the communication channel.

Following his command, batch after batch of anti-aircraft missiles were continuously fired; soon, the anti-aircraft missiles stored on the island were all spent, replaced by ground-attack and anti-ship missiles.

Leiting did not care at all about the maintenance and damage to those sets of S-300 series anti-aircraft systems; he wanted to eliminate the replica warriors in the air as much as possible during the time before they fell.

Under his cold orders, the anti-aircraft systems on the island soon began to malfunction, and then Hailishi also reported and temporarily exited the interception sequence because the anti-aircraft and anti-ship missiles were exhausted.

The Ghost Fleet also soon exited the interception sequence; only some Electromagnetic Pulse Missiles remained on the submarines, and using them to intercept replica warriors was truly overkill.

As the island's anti-aircraft systems fired the seventh round of interceptor missiles, the metal armor wrapped in flames of the falling meteorites in the sky could already be clearly seen.

"Seven thousand meters left, prepare for combat!"

Although the power of this saturation anti-aircraft fire was quite astonishing, having fired thousands of missiles of various types, more than two-thirds of the incoming Decepticon replica warriors were ultimately blown up in the sky or affected by the explosions and fell into the sea.

But even so, under the constant trajectory changes of the incoming Decepticon replica warriors, nearly one-third of the Decepticons were still about to land.

Watching those Decepticon replica warriors that were less than a thousand meters from the island and getting closer and closer, Leiting, Zhapian, and all the young Decepticon soldiers on the island tightened the weapons in their hands in unison.

"Prepare for combat..."

Accompanied by a roar, the six Decepticon replica warriors with the fastest descent speeds successfully landed on the island.

The cruel battle had begun!
