Chapter 946: Day of Suffering

Not to mention that in the city of Cairo, a battle between a teacher and student was inevitable due to a conflict of ideals.

At this moment, hundreds of kilometers away, a hunt by the Decepticons had also begun.

Blitzwing took the lead, relying on sustained supersonic cruising to be the first to arrive over the Mediterranean Sea.

Anchored on the sea surface just over forty kilometers from the mouth of the Nile River, the radar on a frigate guarding the perimeter of the joint fleet immediately emitted a shrill warning.

"Enemy attack!"

Following the warning issued by the perimeter warships, the joint fleet immediately fell into a state of panic.

This chaos immediately reflected the current quality and strength of the various European navies.

Since the end of World War II, old Europe had been at peace for too long.

Even before the end of the Cold War, when they needed to face the threat of the Soviet Union, the one charging at the very front to oppose the Soviet Union was still the leader of NATO—the United States.

By comparison, the German soldiers who once made the world tremble in fear had long since degenerated into obese, greasy, office-worker Warriors with severely excessive body weight.

I fear their combat effectiveness cannot even compare to Italy, whom they once looked down upon.

The Brandenburg-class frigate is Germany's current main surface warship; it is a frigate focused on anti-submarine warfare. Because the Soviet Union had not yet dissolved when it was designed, its primary purpose at the time was to guard against the Soviet Union's elusive nuclear submarines operating in the North Atlantic region.

This modified frigate, having received some technical support from the United States, possessed quite decent anti-aircraft capabilities despite being focused on anti-submarine warfare.

It is just that their combat experience and crisis management abilities were truly too poor.

After all, they were a defeated nation in World War II, and their national defense and military systems were severely castrated after the surrender.

So when the alarm bells rang and they noticed several fighter jets suspected of being alien transformations approaching their own combat formation, and with Germany's own Brandenburg-class frigate bearing the brunt of it, everyone on the warship from the captain to the communications officer panicked!

"... Enemy attack, there are aircraft suspected of being alien transformations approaching... prepare for anti-aircraft..."

"... Beginning to load anti-aircraft missiles..."

"... Activating data link sharing..."

The office-worker Warriors on this German frigate were executing orders one by one in a clumsy and panicked manner, with an efficiency that would be unbearable for their predecessors to watch; they were not even as good as the nearby Italian warships.

After all, since World War II, Italy had experienced quite a few major battles and minor conflicts over its former colonies in Africa, its military readiness had never been relaxed for a moment, and it was one of only four countries in Europe to possess aircraft carriers for a long time.

Compared to them, the three countries of Britain, France, and Spain performed much better.

Spain is a traditional European naval power. Because it passed through the two World Wars relatively smoothly, coupled with the rich accumulation of its ancestors, the strength of the Spanish Navy had always ranked in the top four in Europe after the war, and it could even often suppress Italy.

As for Britain and France, they were also two old-fashioned naval powers.

Because they possessed vast interests overseas, although the navies of Britain and France were affected by the decline of their own national strength, their combat experience was still relatively rich.

It is a pity that their opponent was the Decepticons.

Blitzwing took the lead and was the first to approach the joint fleet.

When more than a dozen anti-aircraft missiles briefly locked onto him simultaneously and began to track and fly toward him, the pilot virtually projected inside the cockpit of the F-22 Fighter Jet, Blitzwing, wore a mocking smile on his face.

"Free hunt, let's end this boring battle as soon as possible!"

After issuing the order to the Decepticons acting together, the F-22 Fighter Jet that Blitzwing had transformed into increased its speed again. Already in a supersonic cruise state, his speed quickly exceeded Mach 4 and was still rising.

At such a high speed, the dozen or so anti-aircraft missiles from the joint fleet that had briefly locked onto him soon lost his trail.

"Damn it... they are too fast, we cannot lock onto them..."

"Help... help... we have been locked onto..."

Sweeping over from a high altitude of several hundred meters above the joint fleet, Blitzwing had already locked onto a warship, but he did not immediately launch an attack on it.

He nimbly wove back and forth amidst the tongues of fire spewed by the short-range anti-aircraft weapons of several frigates; not a single bullet could hit him.

And Blitzwing, this guy with a nasty personality, unscrupulously invaded the communication channels of the joint fleet, listening in and enjoying the cries for help issued by humans out of fear to his heart's content.

After enjoying it for a good while, two missiles were ejected from the weapon bay of the F-22 Fighter Jet he had transformed into, locking onto and firing at two of the warships that had been the first to launch anti-aircraft missiles at him.

At close range, the missiles hit the two warships precisely at a speed exceeding Mach 8.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Following two shrill explosions, one of the Elli-class frigates from Greece was hit squarely in the hull by a missile, and the explosion quickly left a huge hole in the ship's body.

A large amount of seawater quickly poured into the cabin of that Elli-class frigate. The surviving crew members, seeing the warship sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, had no choice but to abandon ship and flee immediately.

And the other one hit by Blitzwing was precisely the Brandenburg-class frigate from the German Navy.

Although this Brandenburg-class frigate was a size larger and more advanced than the Elli-class frigate of the Greek Navy.

But the anti-ship missile fired by Blitzwing hit the deck above the weapon bay of that Brandenburg-class frigate precisely.

The explosion induced the detonation of the Brandenburg-class frigate's weapon bay. The secondary explosion directly snapped the frigate, which had a displacement of over 4,500 tons, in two at the waist, and the explosion even sent the two sections of the hull several meters apart on the sea surface.

Almost no soldiers on the ship escaped; the two sections of the hull torn apart by the explosion did not last long before they sank completely into the ocean.

Although there were only a mere few Decepticons who came to attack, their terrifying combat power still taught the joint fleet a harsh lesson.

Blitzwing kept diving and flying back and forth amidst the dense firepower network interwoven by anti-aircraft machine gun bullets, rockets, and anti-aircraft missiles.

With his twisted sense of humor, he kept his altitude between five hundred and one thousand meters above the joint fleet. Within this distance, every missile he fired could hit a warship below in almost an instant.

And he had fired eight missiles in succession; except for one that was successfully intercepted, he had heavily damaged or sunk seven warships.

Dirge performed even more crazily than him. This Decepticon air force general, almost immediately after rushing into the airspace above the sea area where the joint fleet was located, locked onto four warships at the same time.

After quickly firing all the missiles he carried, he immediately lowered his flight altitude to just two or three hundred meters above the sea surface.

Then, immediately after transforming, he used the two Vulcan Cannons on the fighter jet to continuously sweep over the warships one by one, pouring bullets mercilessly onto the naval soldiers who were fighting fires on the decks of the ships below.

The splattered blood gradually dissipated into the ocean.
