Cover? What cover?

Megatron led the Decepticons and the United States Pacific Fleet directly into the Red Sea off Egypt, completely disregarding the dignity of a sovereign nation and acting arrogantly!

However, neither Egypt nor Jordan posed a greater threat to Old Mi than the Decepticons.

Bumblebee, who was monitoring the Decepticons' movements, immediately reported their whereabouts, "Attention, targets have appeared... Megatron, Shockwave, Soundwave, and others unknown. They are leading a large human army towards the Temple of Jotunpetra!"

An entire armored regiment led the way, followed by an aircraft carrier fleet. The scale was undeniably massive. If Egypt and Jordan hadn't been informed beforehand, their leaders might have thought the US was targeting them.

However, as an experienced scout, Bumblebee keenly noticed that several Decepticons were missing from the army.

Dizziness, Noisy, Scorpion, and Hercules were all absent, which immediately gave Bumblebee a bad feeling. He hurriedly issued a warning. "Bumblebee reports that four Decepticons are missing, possibly hiding their tracks!"

Inside the Petra Temple in Yotun, the Autobots, who had been hiding, turned their attention to Nightblade, the only "leader" present, after receiving a warning from Bumblebee.

"The Decepticons are approaching, what should we do?" Ironhide rubbed his hands together, seemingly eager to fight the Decepticons!

"Calm down, Ironhide!" the man advised from the side. "I know you're excited right now, but we must follow the commander's orders and not launch an attack rashly."

"I... I was just saying."

Tin Man argued, somewhat aggrieved, "Of course I know, it's just talk."

"Just bear with it a little longer." Jazz knew that during this time, the one who had suffered the most was Tinker.

Being chased by the Decepticons all day long, from south to north, and narrowly escaping death several times, he must have been feeling terrible and had long wanted to retaliate and kill the Decepticons!

However, due to the commander's orders and their vulnerable position, once exposed, they would not only be unable to stop the Decepticons, but would also be overwhelmed by the firepower of human armored groups and carrier fleets!

After a moment's hesitation, Nightblade gave the order, "All personnel, spread outwards from the Temple of Yotun Petra to avoid being targeted by concentrated fire, and await my command."

In fact, this was the first time Nightblade had received a command. It was more inclined to launch a direct attack, but even in its foolishness, it understood the disparity in firepower between the two sides.

If we were to launch an attack, it's no exaggeration to say that in just ten minutes, the combined air, sea, and land firepower of humanity could melt them, along with everything within a radius of tens of kilometers!

Humanity may be backward, but that doesn't mean that Nightblade can single-handedly sweep through the entire Pacific Fleet, not to mention the Decepticons are also watching closely.

Do we need to split up?

Iron sheet raised questions.

Keep in mind, the Matrix of Leadership is hidden inside the Jotun Petra Temple behind them. What if they get separated and the Decepticons discover them and forcibly take them away?

Although they didn't say it aloud, both the Jazz and the ambulance crew remained skeptical of the order.

Their orders were to hold onto the Matrix of Leadership for as long as possible and wait for the next command before activating the Teleportation Beacon. If they withdrew now, wouldn't they be handing the Matrix of Leadership over to the Decepticons?

When questioned, Nightblade explained, "You don't really think the Decepticons don't know we're hiding here, do you?"

Then, it scrutinized them with a rather stern gaze. "Don't forget, this is war... not a game. We must do everything possible to consider the worst possible outcome!"

"The Decepticons specifically assembled a human armored regiment. Do you think it's just for show? No... I can tell you very clearly, both the armored regiment and the naval fleet are prepared specifically for us!"

"You... you mean?"

The jazz seemed to have guessed what it was going to say.

"If it were me, regardless of whether the Autobots were hiding in the target area, I would have the human armored regiments and fleets carry out three waves of fire coverage." Nightblade may lack command experience, but don't forget, it comes from the Warhammer Universe! If there's anything distinctive about the Warhammer Universe, it's probably... war, an endless war!

That's why Nightblade was able to see through the Decepticons' intentions at a glance from Bumblebee's report.

Of course, there was one more thing that Nightblade didn't say.

If it were Imperium of Man, given abundant resources, they wouldn't hesitate to bomb the entire surface until nothing grows!

What kind of cover?

You and your ridiculous bunker are a complete joke under days and months of continuous fire!

"But aren't the Decepticons afraid that doing this will also destroy the Matrix of Leadership?" Ironhide asked, his scalp tingling after hearing Nightblade's words.

"You need to understand one thing, Tinker."

Nightblade was exhausted. He suddenly understood Alvin's mindset back then. The naivety of these Autobots was infuriating. "Whether it's the Star Harvester or the Matrix of Leadership, they are the pinnacle of Cybertron technology. If they could be destroyed by humans so easily, there would be no need to steal them!"

Ironhide immediately shut his mouth, and the Autobots hurriedly retreated. Just a few minutes after they left, they saw a swarm of bombers sweeping across the sky!

The next moment, the tank formation of the armored regiment, along with the bombers in the sky, began a barrage of bombing raids on the Temple of Jotun Petra!

A dense barrage of shells, carrying a torrent of steel, slammed into the Temple of Petra in Yotun with incredible density. Incendiary bombs, aerial bombs, rattlesnakes, tomahawks... and countless other types of ammunition were unleashed upon this ancient ruin!

Rumble--!!!

In an instant, the earth shook and flames shot straight into the sky!

The billowing flames, carrying scorching heat waves, pushed a gigantic mushroom cloud hundreds of meters high into the clouds. The entire Yotun Petra Valley seemed to tremble, and the earth seemed to groan!

Megatron gazed at the area ravaged by artillery fire, a sinister smile twisting his face, "That's it! Bomb them to death! I want to see... where the Autobots can hide!"

After fighting for so many years, it has long figured out the Autobots' temperament: they always like to use sneak attacks, hiding in alleys or bunkers, and using their superior vision to fight outnumbered opponents.

But this time, it won't tolerate the Autobots.

Street fighting?

The prerequisite is that it needs to be hidden in an alley!

"I've blasted the entire canyon flat, let's see where you can hide now!" Megatron sneered inwardly. He now held the advantage, and since it wasn't his own wealth being squandered, why should he worry about the human army?

Why take the risk when you can solve the problem with superior firepower?

The Autobots, who had followed Nightblade's orders and dispersed to hide further away, were immediately dumbfounded. Ironhide, in particular, looked at Nightblade with admiration. "Amazing... how did you guess the Decepticons' thoughts?"

"..."

For once, Nightblade seemed exhausted, and it weakly said into the channel, "Isn't this basic common sense in war? Haven't you fought any wars before?"

"Uh, we used to just charge straight in," Ironhide said honestly. "We'd find a spot with lots of cover, wait for the Decepticons to fall into our trap, and then charge in and fight them."

"Omnissiah above..."

Nightblade clenched his fist, feeling as if a screw somewhere was tightened, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Don't tell me... this is your tactic?"

"Yeah, what else?"

Ironhide's single sentence nearly brought Nightblade to a standstill.

After a long silence, it barely came to its senses and recited a binary prayer in its heart, otherwise it was afraid it would not be able to suppress that evil fire!

At this moment, Nightblade finally understood Alvin.

Why did the Autobots almost get killed by the Decepticons?

With such crude tactics, it's a miracle they've survived this long. They should really thank the Primus for their protection!

I'm betting on BLG to win tonight! If the all-Chinese team wins, I'll add ten extra chapters this month!!!
