Chapter 956: Treasure

~7 min read 1,288 words

After two waves of Electromagnetic Pulse Bomb coverage, the destructive strike from the Mediterranean Sea arrived.

Missile after missile precisely locked onto the figures in Cairo who, after being struck by Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons, were lying on the ground, unable to move, with white smoke and electric sparks rising from their bodies.

Following wave after wave of seemingly endless missile carpet bombing, Cairo, which had already been ruined by the Autobots, Decepticon replica warriors, and Quintesson soldiers, was now riddled with holes from the bombardment.

Even more miserable were the Decepticon replica warriors in the city, the remaining Autobots who hadn't retreated, and those Quintesson soldiers who had invaded the city.

In less than an hour, Hailishi and the four Arsenal Ships operating with Sun Cheng had already fired over two thousand missiles.

"Our cost of manufacturing missiles is far lower than that of human nations. While this stuff is a bit more expensive to use than artillery shells, it's still acceptable, and it can reduce a large number of personnel casualties!"

The fleet was nearing the waters near the mouth of the Nile River as it entered the Mediterranean Sea; Sun Cheng looked at the screen, where Cairo was currently shrouded in thick smoke under his side's explosions, and a smile appeared on his face.

By utilizing the gradually established technological and industrial advantages, Base No. 2 could even control the cost of a missile equipped with a high-explosive warhead to just one-seventeenth of the human production cost.

Electromagnetic Pulse Bombs are slightly more expensive, but for a bombardment like the one targeting Cairo, the cost converted into US dollars probably wouldn't exceed a billion or so.

To be able to eliminate a large number of potential opponents at such a "cheap" cost.

Sun Cheng felt that this money was spent very worthily!

"Commander, when do we land?"

After several rounds of missile coverage strikes, the surviving Autobots, Decepticon replica warriors, and Quintesson soldiers in Cairo were already less than one-third of the original number.

Leiting saw this scene through the images transmitted back by the drone, and his breathing couldn't help but become heavy.

Sun Cheng thought for a moment before asking: "Report the current positions of Blitzwing and the others, as well as Optimus Prime and the other Autobots!"

The Decepticon Technical Officer responsible for operating the drone and receiving satellite feedback data answered him after being busy for a while.

"Commander, Blitzwing and the other main Decepticon air forces are currently engaged in fierce combat with the main US naval and air forces over the Red Sea. As for Optimus Prime and the other Autobots, they have already retreated to the southwest suburbs of Cairo and show no signs of returning to Cairo again!"

Sun Cheng nodded, but his brain began to think rapidly.

Judging from the information captured by the satellites, it cannot be said that the entire Africa is currently engulfed in war everywhere, but it has indeed fallen into chaos.

Autobots loyal to Sentinel Prime and some Decepticon replica warriors have captured over a dozen important cities within Africa and opened portals above those cities.

With the opening of the portals, batches of Quintesson soldiers descended onto Earth and began to wreak havoc in those cities.

However, Sun Cheng did not pay too much attention to the other African cities.

Among the portals opened by Sentinel Prime, only the one above Cairo was the most persistent.

The ones above the other cities lasted at most ten-plus minutes, and at least only six or seven minutes.

In such a short time, through those dozen or so portals, the number of Quintesson soldiers who were lucky enough to arrive on Earth in those cities was at most a few hundred, and at least only a hundred or so.

Although this scale of Quintesson soldiers could not be resisted by the various African nations.

But Africa has never been decided by Africans, not to mention the "Five Permanent Members" who would be interested in them.

The Autobots who have already established Xintiebao in Africa alone would not let them off.

Moreover, the Decepticon replica warriors also seemed to have received some kind of order.

Not long after the Quintesson soldiers arrived on Earth through the portals, the Decepticon replica warriors around them launched a siege against the Quintesson soldiers.

Sun Cheng even specifically had four drones launched from the rear to film their combat footage throughout, preparing to carefully analyze the combat effectiveness of the Quintesson soldiers after the fighting in Africa ended.

Despite this, driven by curiosity, he still distracted himself to pay attention to some of the battles occurring between the Decepticon Legion replica warriors and the Quintesson soldiers.

Sun Cheng was surprised to find that although the Quintesson soldiers were fearless of death, their individual combat effectiveness was only similar to that of the vast majority of replica warriors, and even worse than a small number of replica warriors.

It was just that they were more insane, chaotic, and fearless of death than the Decepticon Legion's replica warriors.

Because of this, the combat loss ratio between the Quintesson soldiers and the Decepticon Legion's replica warriors was roughly around 1:1.3.

With his brain spinning rapidly, Sun Cheng soon made up his mind.

Since Africa here had already been given away by him to the Autobots as a favor at someone else's expense.

Just out of the point of winning over the Autobots, he was not prepared to interfere too much in the affairs of Africa.

Therefore, let the Autobots clean up the chaotic situation in Africa themselves.

"... Conduct the final round of coverage strikes, leave two teams of Advanced Warriors to protect Hailishi and the Arsenal Ships... The rest of the Decepticons, follow me to Cairo, and prepare to receive the spoils of war!"

"Yes!"

Although Cairo was now bombed into a ruin, there were countless good things tempting Sun Cheng and the others.

He no longer cared for the corpses of those Decepticon replica warriors.

But Sun Cheng was still quite interested in the corpses of some Advanced Warriors and Autobots.

What attracted him the most was the corpse of Sentinel Prime in Cairo.

As the last Prime of the Cybertronian civilization, a Leader who had experienced three Cybertronian eras.

Sentinel Prime's memory itself was a very precious treasure.

Its value was even above the Jetfire memory that Sun Cheng had previously obtained.

Not to mention anything else, just the possibility of obtaining the complete Space Bridge technology from Sentinel Prime's memory held immense attraction for him.

Even if there were still protection programs in the Memory Chip of a deceased Cybertronian, the difficulty of cracking it was much simpler than directly and violently reading a living Leader.

Moreover, the good things in Sentinel Prime's memory were not limited to this.

There were various secrets regarding the Council of Ancients era, secrets regarding the Prime Dynasty, and secrets regarding the Thirteen Primes and the Cybertronian Relics.

Et cetera, et cetera!

The fact that Optimus Prime unexpectedly did not take away the corpse of Sentinel Prime was, to Sun Cheng, the best gift in the world.

The order was quickly conveyed, and at the same time, Hailishi and the four Arsenal Ships also began to reload missiles and aimed at Cairo for the final wave of coverage fire strikes.

And as the missiles took off and flew toward Cairo.

Sun Cheng, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, also jumped into the sky.

Since the chess player behind the scenes had not yet made a move, he didn't mind entering the board first, cutting off the best piece of the cake, and then waiting for them to make their move.
