A Willing Catch

Ultimately, Jetfire agreed to the plan.

Although the plan to break into the Decepticons' base and steal the AllSpark fragment right under their noses sounds extremely risky, the potential rewards are undeniable.

More importantly, seizing the "Fragment of the AllSpark" could significantly curb the Decepticons' rapid expansion.

Otherwise, if the Decepticons continue to control the "AllSpark Fragment," it would be equivalent to having a continuous supply of troops. Although the individual strength of each soldier might not be great, their sheer numbers would be overwhelming!

Even the leader-level Transformers are not invincible.

In the movies, Optimus Prime was ganged up on by Megatron, Starscream, and Soundwave, and didn't he ultimately suffer a crushing defeat?

Of course, the price to pay for doing this is that the Jetfire needs to exhaust all its energy and use "Space Teleportation" twice in a row, which is tantamount to suicide in its current state!

Even so, after a few seconds of thought, Jetfire did not refuse. It was well aware of the consequences of doing so, which would require sacrificing itself, but... it understood even more clearly that if the Fallen's plan succeeded, then Cybertron would truly have no future.

After seeing "Nightblade", Jetfire no longer cared about its own life. It had already fulfilled its duty, and now it was up to its leader.

It had no complaints about giving its life for its leader and for Cybertron in its final moments.

"I will do everything in my power to teleport you there."

Jetfire reminded him, "But each teleportation requires an interval of about five minutes before I can use it again. Please don't forget this."

Five minutes...?

Alvin nodded slightly.

One important point in Albert's teachings on tactics and strategy is that war is a balance of power, with both sides striving with all their might to gain every advantage. The more advantages you hold onto, the more you can accumulate and eventually overwhelm the balance to achieve victory!

There is no war that can be won without bloodshed.

Every war requires sacrifice, and only through sacrifice can the trophy of victory be forged. This is a saying that Albert gave to Alvin.

A mature commander must set aside personal feelings, prioritize the greatest interests above all else, calculate every opportunity for victory, and ultimately tip the scales of war in the wind!

Therefore, from any perspective, seizing the "AllSpark Fragment" from the Decepticons is imperative!

With the plan finalized, the remaining task was execution. Since they had decided to snatch the AllSpark fragment from the jaws of death, they had to go all out and seize it as quickly as possible, before the Decepticons could react.

"By the way, Nightblade," Alvin turned to Nightblade, thinking of this, "Is the fragment of the AllSpark still inside you?"

He had almost forgotten about activating the Nightblade with the AllSpark fragment after the Decepticons interfered with his plans, but he hadn't been able to retrieve it.

In the movie, Soundwave can create many small Transformers specifically for spying and intelligence gathering, which really made him envious.

It's no exaggeration to say that Soundwave deserves the lion's share of credit for the Decepticons; he's undoubtedly the Final Fantasy. Without Soundwave, who was both suppressing the inherently rebellious Starscream and searching for the AllSpark fragments, Megatron might still be at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean by the end of the film series.

Soundwave... that's out of the question for now.

Given its loyalty to Megatron, turning it against him would be too difficult, almost impossible, so we'll have to wait until later. But he could manage to get a batch of smaller Transformers.

With this, he can gain the upper hand in many aspects. Sometimes, an accurate piece of intelligence can completely turn the tide of battle, and its importance is self-evident.

"Yes, Lord Alvin." Nightblade tore open his chest, which should have been the original "cockpit" area, revealing the fire energy deep within his chest, gleaming with a deep blue light. And at the core, which leaped like flames, was a tiny fragment of the "AllSpark".

Looking at the fragment of the AllSpark was completely embedded in Nightblade's body, almost becoming one with it, and turning into the heart of his heart, his envisioned intelligence team vanished in an instant.

Forcibly removing the "AllSpark" fragments could lead to some unpredictable consequences.

"It's alright... not a complete loss."

Trading a fragment of the AllSpark for a "Leader-class" Transformers —from Alvin's perspective, this deal was absolutely a win-win situation.

"Jetfire, locate my coordinates," Alvin said calmly. "Wait for my signal. Once you spot them, immediately teleport them to my side. Understand?"

"You're going alone?" Jetfire instantly guessed his strategy and hesitated, "Isn't it too dangerous? What if you get surrounded? Even if we teleport there..."

"Your goals are too ambitious."

Alvin shook his head and said, "It's not that I want to take risks, but when there's no way to find out specific information about the Decepticons base, it's the most appropriate choice for me to infiltrate alone, to avoid rashly moving in and falling into a trap."

He was unwilling to take the risk, but as the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

If the goal is to maximize benefits, then it is imperative to amplify one's own advantages as much as possible, strive to achieve a numerical advantage in local battles, and break through the enemy's defenses from a single point!

In terms of overall strength, the Autobots are indeed inferior to the Decepticons.

But don't forget, the Decepticons' current focus is on finding the Matrix of Leadership, and most of their main fighting force has been dispersed, which is the Autobots' advantage.

The only unclear point is how much defensive force has been deployed inside the Decepticons base, and this is something Alvin needs to find out.

However, if the Transformers were to follow, even Bumblebee, who is skilled in reconnaissance and disguise, would have a hard time escaping the pursuit of the human military and the Decepticons.

"Send Ironhide towards the Red Sea region where Egypt and Jordan meet," Alvin continued, stating the second step. "We need to divert the Decepticons' attention and pull their main forces away from the AllSpark fragment."

"Understood, Commander."

The knight, acting as his adjutant, nodded in agreement.

Of course, this alone wasn't enough to completely Decepticons, so Alvin turned to Mikaela, a knowing smile on his face, "There's something... I need to trouble you with, beautiful Ms. Mikaela."

"Wha... what is it?"

Mikaela immediately understood Jetfire's feelings just now, and an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.

"It's simple, just go on a trip to Egypt."

Alvin smiled and said, "This is a publicly funded trip. Don't you want to see the Pyramid of ancient Egypt?"

"I... can I not go?" Mikaela was on the verge of tears. Even if she were an idiot, she should have understood that they were using her as bait to lure the Decepticons.

Unfortunately, Alvin shook his head and smiled, "No, you have no choice, you must go."

If the bait isn't heavy enough, how could the Decepticons possibly take the bait?

This is a case of "those who are willing will take the bait!"
