Chapter 642: The dwarf general

did not attract any attention from the Decepticons. The Space Marines of the Iron Pagoda Regiment quickly established a hidden stronghold in the ruins of Qingqiu City to store supplies and gather troops, and explored outward with this stronghold as the center.

Cybertron is too big, and there are too few Transformers left on it, so Shockwave has to disperse his Decepticons in order to control such a large planet. This gives the Space Marines the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

The battleship had just arrived at Cybertron.

The Space Marines' action began.

Target: Every lone Decepticon.

Operation codename: Operation Tiger Hunt.

Qingshan Khan was very cautious and did not rush for success. He did not seek to harvest a large number of Transformer Gears at the beginning. He did not want the leaders on Cybertron to know that he was coming. Even if they would know sooner or later, he wanted to delay the time as much as possible. He took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and stabbed the flesh with a knife, bleeding the Decepticons bit by bit.

Therefore, facing the Decepticon convoy speeding through the wilderness, the Space Marines chose to turn a blind eye. These Decepticons are likely to be Combiners. Although it is unknown whether they are Hercules, Panther or Skywalker, Combiners are not currently the target of "Operation Tiger Hunt". The Space Marines are targeting Decepticon teams of less than three people.

The purpose of targeting these lone Decepticon patrol teams is to allow the newly arrived Space Marines to adapt to the fighting style and racial characteristics of the Transformers.

Although Transformers are few in number, their individual strength is very strong. Each Transformer is a vehicle unit, not a single soldier unit in the conventional sense. In other words, it is almost impossible for a single soldier's weapon to cause fatal damage to Transformers. It must be anti-tank heavy firepower such as double-barreled hot melt guns, plasma incinerators and fat man launchers.

The long-range firepower of each Transformer can be regarded as that of a Knight Mech. The flexibility and agility of the Transformers in close combat are simply unmatched by the Knight Mech. In open terrain, a Knight Mech can completely wipe out a squad of Space Marines. Not to mention that the Transformers can switch between vehicle form and human form at any time.

In the past, Cybertronians could be divided into different professions such as workers, scholars, artists, and clerks, but now, after a tragic civil war that paralyzed the planet, there will no longer be any distinction between civilians and professional soldiers. All surviving Cybertronians, whether Decepticons or Autobots, will fight. Don't expect them to have the strong physical fitness of silicon-based creatures without the corresponding fighting skills.

Therefore, Fu Qinghai required the Iron Pagoda's soldiers to act in the form of a 10-man tactical team, and never be allowed to face the Transformers alone. Each tactical team carried enough long-range heavy firepower, and also set up ambushes according to the terrain to try not to let the enemy escape. Otherwise, Shockwave would know that there was a new player in the endgame of Cybertron.

The main thing is to take advantage of the Decepticons' relaxed vigilance.

The main point is the information asymmetry.

…

"Operation Tiger Hunt" is in full swing.

The Decepticons in Qingqiu City and its surrounding cities kept disappearing one after another. The Space Marines used super energy bodies as bait to set traps and kill these lone Transformers, and they were successful frequently. As they became more and more proficient in using this tactic, they began to conduct reconnaissance and exploration in more distant places, and even set their sights on those groups of Combiner convoys.

[You killed a Decepticon...]

[Calculating assimilation points reward]

[You killed a Decepticon...]

[Calculating assimilation points reward]

Although Fu Qinghai did not personally participate in the battle, the pleasant reminder of the assimilation points reward kept ringing in his mind, letting him know that everything was going well on the surface. At this time, he was sitting in the captain's room of the Suzheng, with a desk in front of him full of transformation gears. He picked up a transformation gear and turned it around and looked at it repeatedly, and asked:

"What level of transformation gear is this?"

"According to my observation, this Transformation Gear should come from a Tri-Transformer. It has both a flying vehicle form and a ground vehicle form. This is a good trophy."

Jidai pinched his chin and said after analyzing.

Fu Qinghai raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly:

"This is why I chose Qingqiu City."

Qingqiu City is the location of Cybertron's air force base, and it is home to a variety of flying Transformers. After receiving military training, they became the so-called "Seekers", and they were also the original members of Starscream. Fu Qinghai chose Qingqiu City as the first target because the Decepticons here can generally fly and can transform into flying vehicles to have air superiority.

During the last major event of the plot line, Fu Qinghai also discussed many ancient legends about the "Thirteen Transformers" with Master Titanium and Optimus Prime. Therefore, he knew that almost all the existing Transformers were related to the Thirteen Transformers, for example: Jingtianwei was the world's first Combiner, Microstar was the world's first Minicon, Ruitianxiao was the world's first Beast...

In addition, the talent that every Cybertronian has - transformation - is actually given by the 13th Ancestor. According to the ancient Cybertron legend, the 13th Ancestor can transform into an infinite number of forms. It distributes its own transformation gears into the bodies of each Transformer. Some people inherit more of its transformation talents and can transform into three or even six forms, while some people inherit less of its transformation talents and can only have two forms.

"Almost."

Fu Qinghai threw the gear back into the gear pile.

He stood up from his seat and put on his helmet.

"Are you going to join the battle yourself, Qingshan?"

Jidai tilted his head and asked curiously.

"My patrol teams keep disappearing one after another. Even if Shockwave is slow-witted, he should have noticed something was wrong. The efficiency of searching for lone Decepticons and harvesting Transformer Gears is still a little low. It's almost time to start direct combat. I'm going to meet that guy, the most notorious war criminal in Cybertron's history, Shockwave."

Fu Qinghai talked as he walked.

…

At this time, somewhere on the surface of Cybertron.

Several broken metal roads overlapped, forming crisscross obstacles between high-rise buildings. Four Decepticon patrol members were walking with weapons in hand. These were four Decepticons who had absorbed dark super energy. They were much stronger and hungrier than other Decepticons, and their mechanical and electronic eyes were filled with crazy evil.

Qiao Shida had gathered five tactical teams, and they were hiding in the surrounding buildings, preparing to ambush the Decepticon squad. There was also a Flame Raptor gunboat hovering in the sky in the distance, ready to be called over to provide fire support at any time. As for why he didn't call the battleship? Because Qingshan Khan needed transformation gears, not a pool of liquid metal melted by the light spear.

Watching the Decepticons gradually walk into the encirclement.

"What plan, sir?"

The adjutant turned and asked the first company commander.

"Use stasis grenades."

The Moon Wolf veteran narrowed his eyes and said:

"We attack simultaneously and close the distance, then divide them and defeat them one by one. First lock two of them in the time dilation, and then concentrate our firepower to kill the other two."

"Understood, sir!"

The adjutant immediately began assigning combat tasks.

All the Space Marines around are ready.

The entire army will attack as soon as the order is given.

"Wait a moment!"

Qiao Shida suddenly raised his hand to signal to stop.

The First Captain appeared to be listening to the comm channel.

"Yeah, okay, I understand."

Qiao Shida nodded slightly and agreed.

Then he spoke again to his adjutant,

"There has been a change of plan. The Khan needs two prisoners."

"So that leaves the two locked in the time dilation?"

the Space Marine lieutenant asked quietly.

"Okay, the rest will be carried out according to the plan."

Qiao Shida waved his hand and ordered:

"Get started!"

Several ejection rails quietly extended from the ruins of the high-rise building, and then the sound of "bang bang bang bang" was heard continuously. More than a dozen black, short and fat micro nuclear bombs were ejected from different directions and angles, heading straight for the Decepticons.

However, the Transformers have a reaction ability and agility far beyond that of most carbon-based creatures. They immediately began to maneuver and evade without waiting for the micro-nuclear bomb to land, running, rolling, jumping, and using the obstacles in the ruins to dodge. The micro-nuclear bomb exploded in the air, and the continuous shock wave was like a heavy hammer, knocking the Decepticons to the ground, with oil splattering all over their bodies, looking very embarrassed.

The Space Marines took the opportunity to rush forward with heavy weapons. The blue beams of light from the Plasma Incinerators burst out, overwhelming the Decepticons on the ground. The flames from the double-barreled melta cannons were also waving wildly. The electronic eyes of the Decepticons kept giving warning signals of heat sources. Under the cover of firepower, the two Space Marines rushed out of the bunker first and threw stasis grenades forward with all their might. The grenades exploded into two balls of time dilation.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

There was a Decepticon wrapped in a transparent force field that was out of tune with the surrounding environment. He, along with the dust floating around him and the gravel splashing under his feet, all stood still. The Cybertronian kept the movement of pushing off the ground and getting up, with a mixed expression of fear and anger frozen on his face.

Another Decepticon dodged the stasis grenade, and the Cybertronian rolled sideways into a ditch, narrowly avoiding the expanding time. The Cybertronian hiding in the ditch did not immediately fire back, but took advantage of the situation and began to deform in the ditch.

"Buzz—whoosh!"

A Star Trek biplane suddenly rushed out from the other end of the ditch. Its speed was so fast that the bullets chasing it were left behind. Several missiles hanging under the wings of the fighter were all fired out. The ground-to-ground missiles rushed towards the Space Marines on the ground, trailing white smoke, and then exploded in mid-air.

The other two Decepticons were also fighting back, they hid behind several giant concrete slabs with their backs to each other, and kept raising their arms to fire. One of the Decepticons had an arm knocked off by a plasma beam, and he fought and retreated while holding his shoulder, while the other Decepticon roared and rushed towards the Space Marines.

"roar--"

The Decepticon jumped up on all fours and pounced forward, roaring in the air and waving the anchor-shaped weapon in his hand. His body was constantly hit by plasma beams, and charred holes appeared one after another. Black oil and burning flames were still flowing at the edges of the holes, but this crazy Cybertronian didn't care and swung out the weapon in his hand fiercely. The anchor hit the Space Marine in the chest and instantly knocked the warrior back.

"Bang——"

The Space Marine crashed into the debris.

The Cybertronians were also smashed into pieces by the concentrated fire.

The Star Wars in the sky shuttled back and forth around the ruins, extending their cannons and firing at the Space Marines on the ground, causing sparks and debris to fly. They were caught off guard and suddenly attacked by a stronger fire from behind, with the Avenger heavy bombs raining down on them. Under the baptism of the dense barrage, they instantly fell apart, emitting black smoke and spiraling downwards.

The flaming raptor gunship streaked across the gloomy sky.

The Space Marines opened fire while closing the gap. The Decepticon, whose arm was broken, fought back and retreated, but was soon pinned down in a corner. He leaned against the wall and felt desperate, thinking that he would soon die. However, he suddenly realized that the armored figures outside the alley had all stopped shooting, and a strange silence appeared on the battlefield.

Footsteps came from outside the alley.

"Huh!"

The Decepticon raised his arms nervously.

But he saw a little armored man walked in alone and stood in front of him, facing the red and hot muzzle without fear. The black and gold power armor, the left shoulder armor had lightning piercing the horizontal bar, and the right shoulder armor had gears wrapped around the skull. Looking at this armor, the Decepticon seemed to remember something.

Until the armored man raised his hand and took off his helmet.

Revealing a face that was different from that of a Cybertronian.

A face that belongs to a carbon-based creature.

"Dwarf General!"

The Decepticon shouted with a trembling voice:

"You are the Dwarf General! You are back!"

There was great fear in the voice.

"Dwarf General?"

Qiao Shida turned and looked at his own regiment leader.

Fu Qinghai curled his lips expressionlessly.
