Chapter 889: A Tiger's Head and a Snake's Tail (Part II)

"Not good!"

A team member had disconnected from the communication channel, and Sun Cheng, who was entangled in a fight with Onslaught over a hundred meters away, instantly understood what had happened.

Fighting Onslaught was quite strenuous for him, so other than at the very beginning, Sun Cheng had only spared a tiny bit of attention for the battlefield.

For the time after that, he had focused all his energy on Onslaught.

The intense battle with this Decepticon high-ranking commander caused Sun Cheng's control over his New Body, which had been at a standstill, to improve again at an extremely rapid speed.

The pressure this veteran titan put on Sun Cheng was truly immense, especially after the opponent became somewhat annoyed and shifted from initial probing to going for the kill; his own injuries were also increasing rapidly, so naturally, he dared not be distracted any further.

Strictly speaking, the two were evenly matched in terms of raw strength.

Sun Cheng had already roughly estimated Onslaught's strength; like him, he was stuck at the threshold of the Leader Class.

He himself possessed a body comparable to a Leader, but he could not unleash all its potential; being able to exert two or three tenths of his full combat power was already considered quite good.

Onslaught, however, was the exact opposite of him; through millions of years of combat and exploration, this guy had developed his body's potential almost to the limit, and his combat experience left Sun Cheng behind by hundreds of streets.

But it was not an easy task for Onslaught to defeat him either!

His current state was somewhat strange; it seemed he had not yet completed a qualitative transformation.

A Leader is called a Leader because once a Cybertronian promotes to this level, they undergo an essential change.

There is more abundant energy in the Spark, the body is stronger and more durable, and at the same time, they experience a leap in many aspects such as combat awareness and learning ability.

And the current Onslaught clearly still had a significant gap compared to the Leader information Sun Cheng had obtained.

To apply some concepts from the internet that he had collected out of boredom while gathering various information online.

Both Sun Cheng and Onslaught currently should be at the level of a Half-step Leader.

It was just that Onslaught possessed richer combat experience than him and had more excellent control over his body, which was why he could keep Sun Cheng at a disadvantage.

The loss of an Advanced Warrior might not count for much to the large and well-established Decepticon Legion or the Autobots.

But Sun Cheng and his own forces were clearly not wealthy enough to be so extravagant.

Although he had prepared himself to sacrifice some of his subordinates from the very beginning of this encounter with Onslaught.

But if possible, Sun Cheng would still try his best to retreat unscathed.

"Forget it, this isn't the only opportunity to train troops!"

Feeling heartbroken, Sun Cheng immediately decided not to use Onslaught and his Combaticons for practice anymore.

He exploded with full power, fiercely swinging the Heavy Sword in his hand to clash heavily with Onslaught.

He was exploding with full power out of resentment, while Onslaught was clearly still holding back some strength as before.

Thus, caught off guard, Onslaught was taken by surprise and was hacked by the Heavy Sword swung with Sun Cheng's full force, staggering back four or five meters before he could stand steady.

"Golden Eagle Squad, fire the Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb!"

Although the Golden Eagle Armed Transport Ship that had transported Sun Cheng and the others here had already returned, it was not the only transport ship that had accompanied them.

Also arriving here were two Golden Eagle Fighter ships, which were currently cloaked and hovering in Earth's outer space orbit, waiting for his command at any moment.

Calling for fire support was a tactic Sun Cheng had learned from the Americans.

Since the end of the Gulf War, the U. S. military had almost never stopped exporting war.

This was not only the case in the real world, but the same was true in the 【Transformers Universe】.

And from the evil invasions of the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and so on, the U. S. military had mastered a simple yet incredibly effective military tactic: calling for fire support.

The American soldiers, known as "young master soldiers," although not exactly pampered, had first-class training intensity and equipment.

But their tactics, combat will, and resilience were not considered very good, even on a global scale.

Using absolute crushing national power to bully the weak, they still suffered crushing defeats in military operations in Korea, Vietnam, ancient countries, Somalia, and elsewhere.

Of course, with the progress of the era and technology, things like tactics and combat will could gradually be leveled out by technology.

After suffering so much in the Vietnam War, the progress of the U. S. military starting from the Gulf War was also very obvious.

Before and during large-scale corps operations, calling for air and naval fire support to clear potential threats during ground operations as much as possible was undoubtedly a simple yet very practical method.

In the 【Transformers Universe】, Sun Cheng, who possessed the Frenzy Body, relied on the Decepticons' rapid information processing technology to divert some energy specifically to study records and post-war analysis of various modern military campaigns on Earth.

Thanks to this, he, who did not come from a military academy, now possessed decent strategic literacy.

The clumsy Hailishi had not yet arrived at the target sea area according to the prior deployment.

But in outer space, Sun Cheng had still prepared a backup plan to provide them with fire support at any time.

After the order was given, the two Golden Eagle Fighter ships, which had been linked to the communication network but had remained silent, immediately responded.

"Ship No. 7 received!"

"Ship No. 12 received!"

All the Decepticon Warriors under Sun Cheng's command were currently in the communication channel.

Upon learning that the Golden Eagle Fighter ships were about to launch an Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb at this battlefield, they each silently activated the Anti-electromagnetic Device within their bodies.

Instantly, their body surfaces seemed to be covered with a layer of silver-gray veins.

The battle was still ongoing, and Leiting and the others were all fighting with full force, trying their best to entangle their opponents.

Electromagnetic pulse weapons were undoubtedly one of the most lethal weapons for Cybertronians.

The Golden Eagle Fighter ships launching an Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb directly from outer space toward the battlefield seemed like an indiscriminate attack on the entire battlefield, hurting the enemy by a thousand and damaging oneself by eight hundred.

However, all Decepticon Warriors of Advanced rank or higher under Sun Cheng had their bodies specially treated against electromagnetism.

After several technical upgrades, now when the Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb was detonated, they could manage to control their own losses to less than half of the opponent's average.

Because of this, indiscriminate carpet-bombing with Electromagnetic Pulse Bombs had long been used by Sun Cheng as a conventional method.

And now, it was time for them to make a contribution again.

The duration of Vortex was even shorter than expected.

After controlling Vortex for only a few short minutes, Vortex was so exhausted that he spiraled down from mid-air.

It was not until he was about to reach the ground that he narrowly transformed back into his combat form, falling to the ground in a sorry state.

However, looking at the state of Vortex, it was clear that the vortex he had just created not only controlled his opponent but also severely affected him as well.

Lying on the ground with his body constantly twitching, Vortex's head jerked incessantly as if he were having a seizure.

Knowing his teammate's condition well, Blast, after killing and severely wounding three more Advanced Warriors, had no choice but to retreat to his side to protect him.

By this time, the Electromagnetic Pulse Bombs, which were falling rapidly from the sky like meteors with long tails trailing behind them, had already caught the attention of the attackers.
