Chapter Ninety-Five: Commander Optimus Prime!
"Although I don't like the Enemy Protector as a careerist, I have to admit that the Enemy Enemy's speech has successfully attacked the legitimacy of the Supreme Council."
"As long as there is such a rhetoric as a predator, all residents who are hesitant about the power of the Supreme Council will involuntarily compare the current Supreme Council with the Supreme Council of the past."
In the Moxie Heavenly City, Salas, who had risen from the archon class to the leader of the regime, couldn't help but nod in admiration after reading the speech of the Heavenly Enemy.
Yes, that's what rebels like them, careerists should do, to legitimize their uprisings by constantly attacking the legitimacy of the Supreme Council.
"Mourning Lion, prepare, and when our troops conquer the Sonic Boom City, I will also issue a declaration of our regime's opposition to the Supreme Council."
Salas liked to do this kind of thing to increase his personal prestige, so he copied the speech of the predator and asked the lieutenant Mourning Lion to prepare it, and when their regime was successful, they issued a declaration of their own regime.
"Yes, Lord Salas."
Although he wanted Lord Salas to pay more attention to the situation on the front line, Mourning Lion also knew that now was not the time to mention this, so in order not to disturb Lord Salas's interest, Mourning Lion, who wore many hats, continued to deal with his busy chores after leaving the Archon's Building.
"This guy is the predator, does he still think that the great enemy he is going to face now is the Supreme Council?"
In the territory of the Heavenly City, Feiyun, who continued to serve as the front-line commander after defecting to Salas, was watching the speech of the Heavenly Enemy.
Just as the Supreme Council was angry at Feiyun's betrayal, Feiyun was also angry at the Predator, and if it weren't for the rebel of the Predator, he would still be a high-ranking councillor and still admired by the inhabitants of Cybertron.
How could it be like this, to cling to the regime that joined Salas to survive?
"Sir, the heavy artillery position has been deployed."
While Feiyun was carefully watching his speech to the predators, his lieutenant walked in from outside the field headquarters and reported to his commander, Feiyun.
"Well, let the soldiers prepare, we must attack the Posa Heavenly City as soon as possible, only by taking this place, the power of the Supreme Council will be completely turbulent."
Listening to the adjutant's name for himself, Feiyun gave an order to the adjutant in a somewhat complicated voice, a few stellar cycles ago, when his adjutant was still calling Feiyun a councilor, and now with his departure from the power of the Supreme Council, the title that symbolized his past honor has completely left him.
"Yes, sir."
Receiving the order from Councilor Flying Cloud, the adjutant nodded and went down to command the attacking combat troops, listening to the sound of the adjutant's footsteps disappearing, Flying Cloud took out the ribbon from the reserve unit that symbolized his status when he was a member of the Supreme Council, and after a while, Flying Cloud put it away again.
Then, Feiyun looked at his projection of the battle situation, and now the troops under Feiyun's command have successfully arrived outside the city of Bosa Heavenly City, and through the intelligence collected by the reconnaissance unit of the drone, the commander of Bosa Heavenly City has mobilized a large number of residents to act as temporary soldiers.
At the same time, the soldiers who had been blocking the advance of the Flying Cloud troops were also rushing towards the Posa Heavenly City, and the Flying Cloud understood that this was the enemy who wanted to fight a city defense battle with him, and in this regard, the Flying Cloud could only take it, after all, the Posa Heavenly City was the main passage to the Iron Fort in his direction.
Although some troops could pass in the direction of the Dawn Heights, the number of soldiers would be too small to harass the supply lines of the Supreme Council at most.
Now the Supreme Council also knew that they had to defend the strategic points in both directions of the city and the sonic boom, only in this way could they protect the capital fortress from the threat of the Salas regime, and only in this way could they stabilize the inhabitants under their rule and gradually counterattack the Salas regime.
Now, while it is equally hateful to provoke a civil war against the predators, the Salas regime, which is formed by the defection of the front-line commanders, is even more hateful, and even for the sake of the continuation of the regime, the Supreme Council must prioritize the new regime of Salas, so that they can regain the trust of the population in the Supreme Council.
The same is true of the Salas regime, in order to defeat the predators in the future, they need to integrate the resources of the northern part of Cybertron, in other words, whether it is politically correct or the goal of war, the Supreme Council always ranks first in the Salas regime.
As Feiyun led the low-morale troops to the city, the front-line commanders in the city reluctantly mobilized the residents of the city who were loyal to the Supreme Council, and as for those who were not loyal to the Supreme Council, the front-line commanders gave them two choices.
Either go to a neutral zone such as Crystal City, or be forced to conscript.
The front-line commander of the city knew that he did not have time to deal with the problems in the city, so he chose the most convenient method, and the inhabitants of the city were either expelled or left to fight, and the residents of the city also made their decision in a short period of time.
The residents who were loyal to the Supreme Council and unwilling to leave the city joined the improvised forces, while the rest were sent out of the city from other directions by the front-line commanders.
"Looks like the inhabitants are gone, sir."
With the evacuation of those who did not want to be drawn into the war, the residents who remained behind in the fight were also assigned to various buildings, and the same was true of Optimus Prime, standing in a reinforced building, watching the direction in which the inhabitants were driving away.
Behind Optimus Prime's mech, the police car and his unit of regulators are watching their field commander, Optimus Prime, who was sent to Optimus Prime by Bat Subtlety.
After learning that Optimus Prime intended to stay in Celestial City, Shockwave contacted the Bat Elemental, and the Bat Spirit who received the contact transferred his most elite adjustment vehicle unit to Optimus Prime.
After all, the captain of the adjustment car unit, the police car and Optimus Prime, are old friends, and the safety of Optimus Prime should be partially guaranteed at that time.
"Police car, I'd rather you call me Orion, or Pikes, than the chief."
Turning around, Optimus Prime, who was a little helpless in the azure optical mirror, looked at the police car and said, he knew that his old friend was playing tricks on him.
To be honest, Optimus Prime is also a little uncomfortable, after all, he was just an ordinary resident not long ago, but now he has become a squad operation commander, this contrast in identity makes Optimus Prime feel weird.
"On the battlefield, I think it's better to call you Commander, O'Lion, after all, you don't want to be recognized by the enemy and take revenge on your friends in the Iron Keep through spies."
Seeing that Optimus Prime was a little uncomfortable by calling himself the chief, the police car had to explain, after all, Salas was a regime formed by conspirators, and there had been assassinations of the Supreme Council in the past, and if it could, the police car did not want Optimus Prime to face the assassination of spies.
"Spy, I didn't expect that the assassination was actually done by Salas, when I was in the south of Cybertron, I also asked a friend who lived under the regime of the Enemy if the assassination of the Supreme Council was related to the Enemy, and at that time he shook his head again and again that it was not the Enemy who did it.
"Now it seems that this is indeed the case, the matter of the Supreme Council being collectively assassinated actually came from within the Supreme Council regime at that time, and it was actually a spy sent by Salas, who was still the Governor of Mo Evil Heavenly City at that time."
Through the Supreme Council's rebuke of Salas's regime and the information gathered by his old friend's police car, Optimus Prime learns that Salas had assassinated all members of the Supreme Council in order to gain the right to do so, and that with the acquiescence of the High Council, he had poured it on the leader of the Predators in southern Cybertron.
Optimus Prime hated it, perhaps because of his personality or because he had experienced life in Cybertron.
It was also after understanding that Salas would send spies for the sake of profit, that Optimus Prime also understood the concern of the police car, and in this regard, Optimus Prime's CPU worked for a moment, and then, he looked at the police car.
"Since you can't use your real name, why don't you call me Optimus Prime, this is the code name given to me by Councilor Shockwave for the leader module seeker, I think this name should be fine."
Optimus Prime said and took out the code name that Shockwave had given him, and the name Optimus Prime had been with him during his time in the south of Cybertron, and now it just continued to come in handy.
"Optimus Prime? Not a bad name, the level of the name of the Shockwave Councilor as a scientific researcher is still good. ”
Seeing Optimus Prime say this, the police car thought about it and thought it was good, so he accepted Optimus Prime's proposal, anyway, what he said before that the spy assassinating his friend or something was just to scare Optimus Prime, which regime leader would send a spy to assassinate a front-line squad commander.
During this period of working in the intelligence department, the police car can be regarded as seeing through, your identity and status cannot be improved, and you will not be able to touch this kind of thing, after all, the assassination will not outweigh the losses, but will arouse the suspicion of the enemy.
While Optimus Prime was chatting with the police car, a loud bang suddenly sounded outside the city, and then Optimus Prime felt the humming sound of the building beneath their feet, and even the chaotic sound of electricity in the communication channel.
"It looks like the enemy offensive is about to begin."
Sensing that the enemy was beginning to bombard with heavy artillery, Optimus knew that this was a prelude to an attack, as was the case with the Iron Keep forces in the south of Cybertron.
As a member of the transport force at that time, Optimus Prime had heard from the soldiers on the front line in the south of Cybertron that most of the attacks of the Iron Fort troops were advancing after the heavy artillery bombardment in the morning, but he didn't expect that he would experience this kind of thing after returning to the northern part of Cybertron.
"Yes, and they use weapons produced by the Supreme Council, and even the soldiers are from the Iron Castle, so their offensive strength should not be very strong, after all, most of the Iron Castle soldiers under the command of Feiyun are loyal to the Supreme Council."
"Although I don't know why they chose to follow the flying cloud to mutiny, they must still hesitate in the face of the Supreme Council they once loyalized."
While the police car was observing the enemy's situation through the drone, the heavy artillery unit under the command of Feiyun was still attacking, and even in addition to the heavy artillery unit, there were bomber formations taking off to bomb the city, and with the roar of heavy artillery and bombs sounding one after another, a large number of unreinforced buildings were shattered and collapsed in the explosion.
Listening to the explosion outside, Optimus Prime and the police car glanced at each other, and they understood that in order to successfully conquer the city, Feiyun probably sent most of the troops under his command with strategic bombing capabilities.
In the communication channel, the front-line commander also encouraged his army, which was mostly composed of residents of the city, telling the soldiers that this was just a bombing by the rebels to deter them, so that they would lose the courage to resist the rebels.
At the same time, in order to give his soldiers the courage to resist the troops of the flying clouds, the front-line commander told them that now the reinforcements of the Supreme Council were already on their way to the city, and even in order to help them, the lightning commandos guarding the hall of the Supreme Council were sent to support the city.
The Supreme Council would not abandon the city, and as long as they could hold on to the initial offensive of the rebels, their reinforcements would arrive, and at that point, the battlefield would be taken over by reinforcements, and they would be glorified and sent to the rear.
"It seems that the front-line commander also knew that his soldiers could be frightened by enemy shelling."
Listening to the voice of the front-line commander in the communication channel, the pursuit of the members of the adjustment vehicle unit and the companions on the side whispered, for this defensive battle, even the adjustment vehicle unit did not have much confidence, after all, the enemy was a regular army, and there were only a few soldiers on their side, and the rest were residents who had been temporarily mobilized.
If there were no buildings in the city that could be used to fight a blocking battle, I am afraid that the residents of the city would have fled in all directions in fear in this bombardment.
"Get ready for battle, the enemy is attacking."
Listening to the sound of artillery fire from outside, Optimus Prime understood that this was a prelude to the enemy's attack, so he took out his pulse rifle, and Optimus Prime, accompanied by a police car, looked at the other members of the Conditioning Vehicle unit.
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing Optimus Prime's voice, the adjustment vehicle troops, who seemed to be relatively lazy just now, all pulled out their weapons and replied to Optimus Prime in a loud voice.
"Hopefully this isn't our last fight, Optimus Prime."
Standing next to Optimus Prime's body, the police car flashed its weapon from the weapon unit and said.
Listening to the voice of his old friend, Optimus Prime replied firmly after a moment of silence.
"It's not going to be our last fight, trust me, police car."
