Chapter 22: Optimus Prime's Choice! We move forward into the future!

When Shockwave succeeded in distrusting Orion Pikes of the Cybertron High Council, the Predators were also preparing for the battle.

Even, in order to better take the southern hemisphere of Cybertron in one fell swoop, the predator once again entrusted his old friend ambulance to lead his disciple and assistant to the slaughter city.

At the same time, the expansion of the intelligence agency led by Sonic began to operate, although it is not yet perfect, but with the efforts of Sonic Wave, it has also succeeded in expanding the intelligence framework in the southern part of Cybertron, which is not satisfied with the Supreme Council.

Many instructors led by the Twist Blade trained and taught the junior officers in accordance with the orders of the predators, and during this time, even the predators appeared in front of the junior officers to talk to them and inquire about their lives.

Among them, the grassroots officers led by Megatron were a little overwhelmed by the concern of the predators, after all, the good fortune of the Senate Decimas had caused them to lose their jobs in the mining area last time, but fortunately, this time the predators' concern was in the real sense.

"I can't believe that a Transformer like the leader of the Predators would stand in front of us and ask about life."

After the predators left, looking at the tall red and silver mechs that had left, Megatron's companions still said to the other Transformers around him in disbelief.

When facing the predators, the Transformer thought that he would be facing a dignified, unsmiling leader, but he didn't expect that the most asked questions during the conversation were their energy supply status and whether they were comfortable living in the living unit.

In contrast, recalling the work of the mine is incomparable.

"The Leader of the Predators is indeed a great Transformer, I heard that he is the same class as the Supreme Council, but for the sake of the Transformers of other classes, and for the future of Cybertron, he chose to lead us in the struggle."

One of the fellow Transformers agreed with the praise of the Predator, after all, the same Transformer who had rescued them from the mines, given them ample energy supplies, and intended to lead them in rebellion.

As for the words of the Transformers companions, many Transformers junior officers, including Megatron, nodded in agreement.

Indeed, if it weren't for the predators, they would now either die from lack of energy or under the guns of the Senate guards, and considering the ways of death that have been forced to return to the source of the fire because of the council, the rank and file officers don't want to try.

"The leader of the predator is great, and it is for this reason that we must firmly follow the leader of the predator until we return to the source of the fire and meet the gods."

This was said by Megatron, and this was exactly what he thought, if even such a leader did not choose to follow, how could they overthrow the Supreme Council.

"For the predators, for Cybertron, and for the future of our race."

Megatron said as he looked in the direction of the predators' departure, the leader who guided them forward had appeared, so it was their turn to follow the leader forward and open up their own future under the leader's command.

Megatron said, and the junior officers led by him also felt that it was because they were all from the same class and had the same experience, so they understood how difficult it was to have a Transformer who led them.

And now, now that leaders have illuminated the way forward, it's time for them to make the right choice.

Just when the grassroots officers led by Megatron were encouraging each other, several instructors such as Twistblade in the distance had to admit that the ideological consciousness of this grassroots officer was indeed high, and it was no wonder that the leader of the Heavenly Enemy was willing to fight for them.

Now, they are also willing to fight for the leader of the predators.

Caron

After returning to the underground base, the Predator returned to his office on the surface and began to sort out the mines that needed to be recovered and the gladiators who needed to be rescued in the first place after the Caron uprising.

As the hottest illegal event on Cybertron, the Transformers gladiators in the gladiatorial arena often use the cold weapons provided by the organizers to tear their opponents to shreds to stimulate the audience's CPU and emotional modules.

And these gladiators have also acquired extremely high fighting skills after surviving countless cycles of fighting, and in this regard, the natural enemies want to gather them all into their own troops.

After all, the gladiator profession is not something that Transformers choose for the thrill.

Most of them lost their jobs because of high-level corruption, and were forced to sell themselves to the gladiatorial arena in order not to die due to energy shortages.

Even Sonic Wave, the head of the intelligence department under the Enemy of the Heavens, almost sold himself to the gladiatorial arena.

If it weren't for the fact that the predator had intervened in it and pulled Sonic from it, he might have become the champion of the gladiatorial arena by virtue of his superb fighting skills.

Of course, there are no ifs in everything, and since the decision has been made, then work hard to go on, at least the natural enemy thinks so, and is doing the same.

"Supreme Council, the beings and classes you have abandoned are about to come and break your hypocritical peace."

The predators looked at the city of Karon below, and the nearly 10,000 grassroots officers had already begun their pre-war preparations in Cybertron's southern hemisphere, except for the last group who had not yet completed their training and teaching assignments.

They will follow in the footsteps of the Predators and smash the face of the High Council at the top.

Iron Castle

After saying goodbye to Shockwave, Orion Pikes left the old McAdan mill and wandered the streets of the city aimlessly.

Looking at the members of the association on the side of the street, who called on the Supreme Council to care for the rest of the class, the archivist stopped in silence, and after a moment, continued to leave.

By the time he returned to his place of work, most of the rest of the crew had already left to maintain his body or refuel, and he was the only one left here.

Coming to the desktop computer where he worked, Orion Pikes brought up the copy he had written about Cybertron's southern communications being too active.

After one last glance at the copy, Orion Parkes' azure optics called up the cleanup system and deleted the copy from the desktop computer completely.

After doing this, O'Ryon Pikes looked out the window at the Iron Castle, perhaps there was only so much he could do.

"Sometimes the choice of the future is in the hands of every Transformer, like Optimus Prime, if he turns in the copy with an active communication signal, maybe the Supreme Council will take note of Cybertron South, but unfortunately, there is no if in our decision." - "Shockwave"

"Sometimes, what you think is a trivial choice can turn the tide of the battle, and I've always felt that." - Optimus Prime
