Chapter 637: A Complete Break (Part II)
"Everyone in the Gravewind Squad obeys the order, and they are not allowed to fire without my permission!"
With a sense of crisis in his heart, Major William still suppressed his uneasiness, and gave orders to all the Gravewind Squad through the command communicator he wore on his body.
"Yes, sir!"
There were many voices answering him, all of them from the old members of the Sound Nest Army.
They had all worked with the Autobots before, and naturally knew that with their team of only a hundred soldiers, it would be troublesome to deal with a few Decepticon cannon fodder, let alone an Autobot team.
However, this time it was not only the Gravewind squad involved in the smuggling of Autobot remains, the transport planes and helicopter gunships were temporarily transferred from the Navy, and they were not under the management of Major William.
Therefore, when one of our helicopter gunships was attacked, the atmosphere of the troops from the navy suddenly changed.
"Manta Ray 04 calls for Swordfish, Commander Gravewind orders not to fire......"
"Don't pay attention to them, I apply to the command ship that our SC (armed helicopter abbreviation) Arowana 23 was attacked by alien creatures, do you approve the counterattack ......?"
"Repeated application, our SC Arowana 23 was attacked by alien creatures, do you approve the counterattack......"
Watching as several gunships above suddenly began to adjust their altitude, they flew towards the Autobots at the same time.
Major William secretly screamed in his heart, he hurriedly looked at the communicator on his ear, and shouted urgently at the gunship supported by the navy: "I am the commander of the Tomb Wind Force, the Autobots are different from the Decepticons, they are not tyrannical and belligerent, stop your provocative behavior immediately!" ”
Unfortunately, the Wu Zhi provided by the Navy did not give any reply, apparently they were still waiting for the order from the command ship.
Major William glanced to the side, the remains of an Autobot who had been tied up with ropes and hung under the CH-53 transport helicopter and was about to be taken away.
He realized what was likely to happen next, and his right-hand man and friend Robert was not here, and there was no one around to talk to.
In a hurry, Major William's head became more and more sober.
"I'm going to meet the Autobots myself......"
Conflicts with the Autobots had to be avoided as much as possible, not only to preserve the fragile relationship between the United States and the Autobots, but also to avoid the total annihilation of their squad.
Before the Sound Nest was disbanded, Major William personally led the team and participated in dozens of encirclements and suppressions of the Decepticons with the Autobots.
Although the Autobots he was familiar with had almost all died in the previous two battles between Jordan and Egypt, the remaining Autobots were not something that their squad with only a few individual weapons could withstand.
And those helicopter gunships in the sky did not obey his command.
At that moment, he called the adjutant and asked him to contact the command ship of the navy immediately, and he called an armed Humvee, took a few soldiers to sit on it, and then drove towards an exit of the color steel fence.
Soon out of the color steel fence, Major William saw several familiar figures from a distance.
"Optimus Prime ......"
His eyes widened, and the energy fluctuations he had detected just now were indeed not wrong, it was really Optimus Prime.
Major William clearly remembers that he had received information only a few days earlier that Optimus Prime had been killed in a battle between the Decepticons and the Autobots in Egypt.
It was because the U.S. government learned that the Autobot leader had been killed in battle, and that a large number of senior Autobot soldiers had died.
They made the decision to drop cloudburst bombs on the Petra Mountains of Jordan and remove all the Autobots' bodies after the war, regardless of their lives and deaths, and prepare for analysis, dissection, and research.
But now, when it was confirmed with his own eyes that Optimus Prime was still alive and that the Autobots still had enough combat power.
Major William felt that in the scorching heat of the end of August, it was as if he was in an ice cave, from head to toe, and it was completely cold.
"I'm afraid I can't do it well today!"
Before he arrived, he was given a death order to bring back the remains of the Autobots even in the event of a battle with the Egyptian military.
But Optimus Prime is still alive now, and he wants to steal the remains of his companions and compatriots in front of the Autobot leader, which is not a provocation.
The armed Humvee stopped only a few dozen meters away from Optimus Prime, and as soon as Major William got out of the car, all the Autobots looked at him.
"Major, you've disappointed me!"
Optimus Prime looked at him, his tone flat but full of disappointment.
Looking at the iron sheet of the Cobra gunship with both hands, Major William's forehead began to overflow with cold sweat: "Optimus Prime, can you let the iron sheet let go of the helicopter first?" ”
Iron Hide snorted coldly, and instead of letting go of the helicopter, he increased his strength a little, leaving two deep hand marks on the tail of the plane that was tightly pulled.
"So the Sound Nest troops, now they also regard us Autobots as targets?"
Seeing that the atmosphere seemed a little stiff, the female autobot Alcy took the initiative to speak, looked at Major William and asked.
Major William was silent, he couldn't answer Arcie's question, because the mission of the Gravewind Force after its formation was to target all the aliens who came to Earth.
Obviously, in the eyes of the U.S. government, both the Autobots and the Decepticons are intruders.
There was silence for a long time before he shook his head and said, "The sound nest doesn't exist anymore, Arcie ......"
Major William looked at Optimus Prime with a faint sadness in his eyes, "The Sound Nest has been cut, and the newly formed organization on the basis of the original Sound Nest troops is called Tomb Wind. The new commander will be in office soon, and I have already applied for my departure, which is my last assignment before I retire. ”
He cryptically informed Optimus Prime of the news about the Tombwind Force.
Unfortunately, this kindness was not reciprocated by the Autobots, and was replaced by an even more angry voice.
"Is the last mission to arrange for our friends to dig up the remains of our fellow Autobots?"
It was Ironskin, the Autobot Commander's eyes were like fire, and his anger made him tug at the palm of the Cobra gunship, making a crackling sound of metallic folds.
It was the sound of Juli when it damaged the tail of a cobra.
Major William felt ashamed, and he couldn't and didn't dare to look at Ironskin, and even the other Autobots, and the gaze that looked at him at this time made this former Autobot friend feel a piercing coldness.
"I ...... I'm sorry, Optimus Prime, I'm just an ordinary soldier! ”
It took a long time for him to bend down slightly and bow down to Optimus Prime to apologize.
Optimus Prime, who has been silent for a long time, still has some expectations for the Americans until this time.
"Ironhide, let go of that helicopter...... he said calmly, "Major, let your men leave the remains of our companions behind, and get out of here!" ”
This was the biggest concession he could make to his former friend, Major William's heart sank, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded, "I'll arrange for the evacuation!" ”
He felt Optimus Prime's kindness, so Major William also decided to disobey the order one last time for these former Autobot friends.
Unfortunately, before Major William could give the order to evacuate through the communicator, the roar of the engines of the two CH-53 transport helicopters sounded at full capacity.
Major William, whose face changed drastically, hurriedly turned around and looked behind, and immediately saw that the two Navy transport planes, each of which had fixed a Autobot corpse before, were hoisting the Autobots' corpses and preparing to fly away.
This move immediately made the originally eased situation full of gunpowder.
