Chapter 795: Again, a Transaction (Part 1)
Optimus Prime frowned; he had indeed considered this possibility.
However, the actual situation was not optimistic. After losing his two top intelligence and counter-espionage experts, Prowl and Bumblebee, he had been unable to uncover anything over the past period by relying solely on the Cassette Troops.
"I can't drag this out any longer!"
Optimus Prime shook his head. "I previously used the excuse of the Cosmic Rust to buy quite a bit of time, but the Cassette Troops have been unable to find any Decepticons pulling the strings behind the scenes. As Ratchet has finished treating the teacher's injuries and brought the Rust Disease under control, there are more and more voices questioning why I haven't used the Matrix of Leadership to wake the teacher up!"
Within New Iacon, except for a very few highly classified areas, Autobots are free to enter and exit other places.
Sentinel Prime was initially placed in the hospital in New Iacon, with a team of Autobot Warriors dispatched by Optimus Prime guarding him day and night.
However, as the Rust Disease on him was brought under control, in order to appease the doubts of certain fanatical supporters of Sentinel Prime, Optimus Prime chose to partially open the hospital where Sentinel Prime is currently located, allowing some of his fanatical supporters to visit.
Because of this, many Autobots now know that the Cosmic Rust on Sentinel Prime has been brought under control.
Consequently, calls for Optimus Prime to use the Matrix of Leadership to wake him have also begun to increase.
To this day, this young Autobot Leader has felt increasingly strange about the situation, even specifically dispatching the Cassette Troops to investigate the matter.
Unfortunately, the Cassette Troops found nothing.
So much so that Optimus Prime, who has now sensed something strange, has no choice but to make a decision.
Arcee did not know how to continue persuading him for a moment, because this matter involved two Autobot Leaders, and one of them was the teacher of the other.
It must be known that at the beginning, Optimus Prime was fully intent on waking Sentinel Prime directly.
The silence made the atmosphere deathly still for a moment. Optimus Prime was having a headache, so Arcee thought for a moment and changed the subject, "Should we ask Frenzy? Maybe he knows something!"
The Autobots were already aware of the invasion that took place on Trindade Island nearly half a month ago.
Not to mention that Sun Cheng had no intention of hiding it at all, even if he wanted to hide it, it would be difficult.
When Decepticons and Autobots perform long-distance interstellar travel without a spaceship, they turn themselves into a 'meteorite' and then rely on the gravity between different planets to complete travel at speeds far exceeding human aircraft with minimal energy consumption.
Therefore, they are very conspicuous when entering a planet.
The observation station in New Iacon clearly captured the Decepticon Replica Warriors who invaded Trindade Island, and they were even clear about the exact number.
Likewise, Base No. 2 can capture and record every Autobot that newly arrives on Earth.
Arcee's reminder made Optimus Prime think seriously. Now, he and the group of Autobot Commanders under his command basically believe in the rift between Frenzy and the Decepticon Legion.
Previously, Frenzy joined forces with them to deal with Soundwave, and not long ago, he was locked in a fierce battle with the Replica Warrior Legion under Starscream.
Although the Autobots could not get first-hand intelligence, according to their speculation, the invading Decepticon Replica Warriors were likely wiped out.
The Autobots had once simulated what would happen if New Iacon were attacked by Replica Warriors.
Optimus Prime and the Autobot Warriors under his command could indeed defend New Iacon and wipe out the invading Replica Warriors, but they would also have to pay a painful price.
The reason is simple: the combat effectiveness of the vast majority of Autobot civilians is far inferior to that of Replica Warriors. Last time on the Dark Side of the Moon, the ones he led were all Autobot Warriors who had come to Earth, and the vast majority of them were Advanced Warriors.
Based on this point, many of Optimus Prime's lieutenants reached a conclusion: while Frenzy and the forces he belongs to may not yet be as powerful as the Autobots, they are indeed a party worth winning over.
At least until now, Frenzy and his group have not shown hostility toward the Autobots.
It is just that Optimus Prime also has concerns! His teacher, Sentinel Prime, hates the Decepticons very much, and the cruel methods he uses against Decepticons are sometimes even more cruel than how the Decepticons treat Autobot civilians.
Because he was worried about his teacher, Optimus Prime did not send anyone to actively express closeness to Frenzy after Trindade Island was invaded.
"The teacher's side is also a trouble!"
Just as he was struggling with the problem, suddenly, Optimus Prime's body stiffened; he received a communication message from hundreds of kilometers away.
After decrypting it and taking a look, the expression on his face changed slightly.
"What's wrong, Optimus Prime?"
Arcee noticed his change and asked.
Optimus Prime raised his hand in front of her, and as he opened his palm, several azure-blue phantoms of Cybertronian Script immediately appeared.
Arcee stared at them and was also surprised.
"Frenzy is requesting a meeting with you?"
After inviting Frenzy to New Iacon to attend the inauguration ceremony there last time, Optimus Prime had taken the initiative to exchange contact channels with him.
However, because both sides are leaders of their respective forces, they usually do not contact each other easily.
Come to think of it, this was their first communication since exchanging contact channels.
Optimus Prime nodded, "He will be here soon!"
He decided to accept Frenzy's meeting request because, as Arcee had just said, perhaps he could get some useful intelligence from Frenzy.
After all, the other party came from the Cassette Corps and has behaved very strangely over the past two years; he seems to have conflicts with several high-level Commanders of the Decepticon Legion, yet he is also very familiar with them.
"I have already accepted the meeting request. This might be a good opportunity; I also happen to want to know some things."
Arcee: "I'll go contact Ironhide and the others right now!"
She still remembered the time Optimus Prime was ambushed, but Optimus Prime refused.
"No need. I have arranged to meet Frenzy in a Gobi desert a dozen kilometers away. It's not far from New Iacon. If anything happens, I will notify you to provide support!"
Ever since he obtained the Matrix of Leadership, under the nourishment of the magical energy within the Matrix of Leadership, Optimus Prime could clearly feel that he was undergoing some kind of change almost every moment.
He could feel that he was now more powerful, even stronger than Megatron, whom he had faced in Las Vegas nearly two years ago.
It was this change that gave Optimus Prime confidence; even if he were surrounded again, he could hold out for a period of time until reinforcements arrived.
Arcee hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded in agreement.
Optimus Prime then climbed to the top of the Canyon, transformed into a heavy truck, and headed toward the agreed-upon location.
