Chapter 476: Everything is getting better

Cybertron, the Great Wasteland.

A team of Transformers is rumbling along.

All nine Decepticons that made up the Panthers were in the line. They transformed into their own vehicle forms and drove in a line across the vast and desolate plains. The armored tracks and solid tires left deep ruts, and long billowing smoke rose behind the convoy.

The team marched very professionally.

Light and fast vehicles, such as all-terrain vehicles, are used to expand the search area around the convoy and conduct advance reconnaissance.

Flying vehicles, such as reconnaissance aircraft and fighter jets, are soaring in the sky to provide wider range of alert and warning.

All of this is to protect the Hun Tian Bao team in the middle of the team, because the giant Combiner is the key to breaking through the city and must not be lost.

This is how it was arranged.

It is almost impossible to ambush the Hun Tian Bao convoy.

So the Decepticons were not overly alert. The convoy drove in an orderly manner on the road in a single file until they turned a big bend and passed a pile of weathered gravel.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

A few barely detectable ejection sounds were masked by the tire noise, wind noise and the vibration and roar of the engine.

A series of small black dots appeared in the sky, drew an arc, and then fell rapidly, landing in the convoy.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

There was a deafening explosion, accompanied by the mushroom cloud, flying sand and rocks, and rippling dust. The entire convoy was instantly blown to pieces, the front vehicle braked to a stop, the rear vehicle lost control of the brakes and suddenly rear-ended, and some vehicles failed to turn and rushed out of the road.

"Crack, crack…"

There was a sound of gears turning and mechanical assembly.

The team members quickly transformed, and seven Decepticon warriors stood up in the smoke and dust, raising their weapons and looking around. Two other team members were hit directly by micro-nuclear bombs, their bodies were severely damaged and unable to complete the transformation. They lay on the ground halfway through the transformation, rolling on the ground and wailing in pain.

"Under attack, under attack!"

The leading Decepticon looked around and said loudly:

"Determine the source of the artillery fire immediately."

He is the "attack" that makes up the head of Hun Tian Bao.

The words have not been finished yet.

"Bang!"

A bolt of blue plasma hit him in the face, knocking his head askew and causing a mechanical eyeball to explode.

The black-gold armored warrior with a flying backpack swooped down from the sky, breaking through the dust, smoke, and yellow sand. He held a silver-white chainsaw sword in his right hand, with the blade horizontally in front of him, and his left hand pressed on the back of the sword, and rushed straight towards the leading Decepticon.

"Bang…sizzle!"

The teeth of the saw twisted his neck, sparks, oil and debris flew everywhere, and the attacker knocked him over on his back, his head severed.

The other Decepticons roared and rushed towards Fu Qinghai, waving various weapons in their arms.

In a moment, lasers flew and shells flew everywhere. Fu Qinghai hastily swung his sword to block a few attacks, then slammed headfirst into the ground, rolled sideways and stood up, holding the sword with both hands to stop the inertia of rushing backwards, and the blurred and vibrating sword body sank into the body of a fallen wounded man, who screamed and died on the spot.

The deflection field pushed away a series of large-caliber lasers, plasma and artillery shells. Fu Qinghai swung the Blue Fang with great force, and his entire body turned into a silver-white whirlwind gyroscope. With two "swish" swords, he dismembered another severely injured Decepticon who fell to the ground, and black oil splashed everywhere, soaking the sand on the ground.

The Decepticons found that their ranged weapons were useless and roared in anger. They transformed into swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks and pounced on him. Fu Qinghai quickly took out the portal gun from his waist and fired a shot at the ground. A blue halo expanded and appeared, and he jumped into the halo and disappeared.

"Bang!"

The blue circle of light shrinks and disappears.

"Bang!"

The two Decepticons that rushed over collided with each other.

…

At this point, three of the nine members of the Hydra Team had died. One of the two giant combiners in the Decepticon camp, Hercules and Hydra, was unable to reunite into a combined form, and the defensive pressure on Blade City was reduced sharply.

When Fu Qinghai and Optimus Prime first heard the robot dog say that the Hun Tian Bao was dispersing, they immediately realized that this was an opportunity: if they couldn't beat you when they combined into a combination of Transformers, how could they still beat you when they separated into nine Transformers? Moreover, Fu Qinghai didn't need to kill all the members of the Hun Tian Bao team, he only needed to kill one or two, and the Hun Tian Bao would not be able to combine.

The Decepticons had scouted the route in advance, so theoretically it was impossible for them to be ambushed. However, after Fu Qinghai knew the Decepticons' route, he had no intention of ambush them in advance - instead, he opened a teleportation aperture on the side of the road in advance, waited for the convoy to pass by, and then came out of the aperture to attack the convoy.

There are two prerequisites for the success of this operation:

1. The robot dog provides route information.

2. Use the portal gun to launch a surprise attack.

The only difficulty in this mission is that the aperture that the portal gun can open is too small to accommodate the Transformers. In the end, only Fu Qinghai can carry out this mission alone. His bravery, courage and fearlessness once again won the respect and admiration of the Autobots. Fu Qinghai is a well-deserved commander, and everyone in the Autobot camp is convinced.

The Autobots celebrated this hard-earned small victory.

But the Decepticons' siege of Blade City continues.

This was a fierce battle. It was different from any other city because there was no option to retreat. If they gave up this energy base, the Autobots' base camp, Iron Fort, would fall into a state of slow death and would be conquered by the Decepticons sooner or later. Now the entire northern hemisphere of Cybertron was directly occupied or indirectly controlled by the Decepticons. The Autobots no longer had much territory to maneuver, and Iron Fort was their last hope.

It was a brutal battle. Optimus Prime followed the agreement and released the robot dog, but the Decepticon camp still had a giant Combiner - Hercules. There was no escape, so they had to deal with it. Facing the giant Combiner coming on the ruins of the building, the Autobots fought one after another, and finally killed Hercules with their lives. The bodies of the Transformers piled up like a mountain, and the battlefield looked like a scrap car dismantling and recycling site - it was extremely brutal.

Fifty-seven Autobots were killed.

Finally killed Hercules.

Sidewinder was the first to climb onto Hercules' head and rip his head off. He was very proud of it and boasted about it everywhere.

Ironhide was slapped away by Hercules while climbing on Combiner's body and is currently receiving treatment.

Fu Qinghai had no time to celebrate this hard-won tragic victory, but immediately dragged away the remains of Hercules' body, preparing to study how the Transformers were realized and what the fusion technology was. But unfortunately, compared with senior Cybertron scientists like Shockwave, his understanding of the Transformers' body structure remained at a very superficial level, and he still couldn't figure out the reason after studying the corpse for a long time.

There was another key to winning this battle:

Starscream's searchers did not participate in the entire battle.

No one knew where Starscream had gone, and there weren't even many flying Transformers in the sky over the battlefield. In the past, the Autobots were often suppressed by the Decepticons due to the lack of flying units, but now the two sides have returned to a level of equal strength.

Fu Qinghai also received "good news".

Megatron sent Shockwave to take over two neighboring cities on the Xuanji Lake - Tarn City and Qingqiu City. These two cities chose to surrender to the Decepticons without resistance.

After Shockwave took control of Tarn City, he imposed a high-pressure reign of terror, not only ruthlessly suppressing all opposition voices with violence, but also using the Cybertronians among the resistance forces as his human experiment materials. Not only that, Tarn City actually launched three sets of photon missiles at Qingqiu City, which destroyed Qingqiu City's air control center.

Shockwave claimed that it was the Autobots who did it, and that the Autobots' resistance army quietly sneaked into the missile silo in Tarn City and launched these photon missiles, aiming directly at Iron Fortress. He shouted loudly in the communication network, saying that the Autobots' atrocities were all intended to maintain the class system and continue to implement tyranny.

However, Optimus Prime said that he didn't know that there were underground resistance forces supporting the Autobots in Tarn City, so this matter was completely orchestrated by Shockwave. Then, Fu Qinghai didn't understand why Shockwave ordered Tarn City to launch missiles to bomb another surrendered city, Qingqiu City? Obviously, both cities had surrendered to the Decepticons.

After Optimus Prime's explanation, Fu Qinghai finally understood.

Qingqiu City is Red Spider's hometown.

The city's air command center was once the base and headquarters of the Seekers. This city used to be home to a variety of flying Transformers. Shockwave found an excuse to bomb Qingqiu City in order to weaken the military power controlled by Starscream and his Seekers. In this way, Shockwave became the second in command of the Decepticons without any suspense.

Starscream's joining made Shockwave feel threatened, and he felt that his position as the second in command of the Decepticons was no longer secure. The civil war hadn't even ended yet, and the Decepticon leaders had already started fighting among themselves. Optimus Prime sighed for the innocent casualties in the two cities, while Fu Qinghai was pleased to see it - it seemed that Megatron's control over the Decepticons was not as perfect as he had imagined, or perhaps Megatron was also dissatisfied with Starscream, so he acquiesced to Shockwave's private actions?

It is unknown.

Moreover, this incident caused some Seekers to declare that they would leave the Decepticons and join the Autobots. Although their number was small, it at least injected an air force into the Autobots. Facing the Seekers of the Decepticons, they no longer had to passively take the beating like in the past. This was very good news.

And the Seeker who led the team away from the Decepticons.

The name is "Sky Fire".

…

The Autobots seemed to be on to a good start.

Fu Qinghai was at a loss as to what to do with Shockwave's Combiner and the combining technology when Optimus Prime suddenly found him and told him the good news: a young doctor who had just joined the team, after some clinical experiments and hard research, successfully replicated the combining technology and created the Autobots' first giant Combiner - the Guardian.

"What kind of doctor is so awesome?"

Fu Qinghai was surprised.

"He's called 'Ambulance'."

Optimus introduced.

Optimus Prime led Fu Qinghai into the city.

"Wow, what is this?"

At this moment, exclamations suddenly sounded all around.

The two of them looked up following the gazes of the people around them.

The giant, mountain-like Combiner sat up.

He turned around and looked at the group of ant-like people around him.

His every move caused the crowd to exclaim in surprise.

Getting better.

Fu Qinghai thought to himself.

It feels like everything is getting better.

This plot line event...

Am I going to win?
