As the fighting on the front line intensified, Salas also struggled with energy issues in the rear, and although their energy reserves were still abundant, it was clear that they would not be able to sustain the regime for a long time.

In order to solve the energy problem, Salas arranged for the Mourning Lion to bring all the researchers in Moxie Heavenly City and Blade City to try to get the answer to the energy problem from these elites, and in the face of Salas, the leader of the regime who controlled their life and death, the researchers could only say that they would try their best to find a way.

Scientists also told Salas not to worry, after all, the Iron Castle was not built in a stellar cycle, and the solution to the energy crisis will take time and inspiration to test.

In the face of the researchers who said they would try their best to find a solution, Salas felt that they were perfunctory, but still said that as long as they had a solution to the energy problem, the government would not treat them badly.

The scientists were naturally extremely obedient to Sachs's words, and Salas was also satisfied with the obedient researchers, so he released them all, of course, the necessary protection was still there, at least to protect the safety of these researchers while preventing them from escaping to the neutral zone.

Although Sachs expressed disdain for the areas that declared neutrality, he knew that unless he had achieved absolute superiority on the battlefield, it was best not to move these neutral zones, lest they be forced to the side of the Supreme Council or the Predators.

"Lord Salas, I'm back from the front."

"Come in, Mourning Lion."

When Salas was worried about the energy problem, the voice of the mourning lion returning from the front line of Sonic Boom City sounded outside the room, and when he heard the adjutant's voice, Salas raised his head to let the mourning lion in, and as the metal door opened, the mourning lion with a dark green paint body slowly walked into the room.

"Lord Salas, who are you?"

After entering the room, the mourning lion saw the worry in Salas's optical mirror at a glance, and couldn't help but ask if something had happened to Salas.

"It's nothing, it's just plagued by energy problems, what's the situation on the front line, the lion."

Salas shook his head and said that he was just worried that the energy in his reserves could not come in and out, and said that Salas asked about the situation on the front line, as the leader of the new regime, Salas certainly knew the true identity of the commanders under his command, they were just warlord factions concentrated in his own regime.

The reason why they are still with Salas is not because they want to divide the Supreme Council.

Salas understands that these warlords cannot be trusted, they are only temporarily united because of common interests, and when the interests are different, it is the moment when their regime is divided, and what Salas wants to do is to consolidate his position and suppress the warlords who can no longer contain their ambitions before the regime splits.

"Sonic Boom City is currently in a stalemate, the Supreme Council has set up a defensive line in Sonic Boom City in advance, and when the soldiers of Soaring Sky City retreat to Sonic Boom City, they take over the defensive line, so that our troops will not be able to break through the defensive line for the time being until the heavy weapons arrive."

"As for the Vesa Celestial City, the Flying Cloud Commander and the Explosive Bomb Commander have successively broken through the enemy's two lines of defense to control nearly half of the Celestial City, and raided the defender headquarters to send the enemy's commander back to the Tinder Source, but then a leader module seeker named Optimus Prime took over as the commander of the Celestial City."

"Before I return to Mo Evil Heavenly City, Commander Feiyun is arranging for troops to raid the newly built defensive line of the defenders of Wasa Heavenly City, and I think there is a good chance of success, after all, the support forces of the Supreme Council have not yet arrived."

The Mourning Lion reported to Salas what he saw on the front line, it is a little difficult to break through in the direction of Sonic Boom City at the moment, as for the side of Sonic Boom City, the chance is still very great, after all, nearly half of the city area of Sonic City is now controlled by them, as long as they work hard, those defenders will be pushed out easily.

"Celestial City and Sonic Boom City."

Listening to the adjutant's report, Salas nodded, he trusted the adjutant Mourning Lion's judgment, but Sonic Boom City is also a strategic location, and it would be better if it could be taken down.

"Also, Lord Salas, I don't think we should just focus on the Cybertron surface, there are also a certain number of air forces on Cybertron's satellites, and if we can win them over, we may be able to attack the rule of the Supreme Council in many ways at the same time."

While Salas was thinking about the situation on the front line, the Mourning Lion once again mentioned to Salas the Lunas 1 and Lumen 2, as well as the air units on the Iron Dragon space station, although most of the air units on the surface of Cybertron were controlled by them, those outside Cybertron were still a hidden danger.

"Oh? Is there a chance to woo? ”

When the Mourning Lion mentioned the matter of wooing the commanders of Luna 1 and Luna 2, Salaston became interested, and it was better to do something more to change the situation of the battle than to be troubled by the energy problem.

"There is a certain chance, after all, our regime has given more power to those commanders who have military power, which is incomparable to the Supreme Council, and the members of the Supreme Council have been suppressing these commanders on the basis of class issues, and they must also have a grudge against the Supreme Council."

"As long as our front lines continue to win victories against the Supreme Council, we can take advantage of the opportunity to entrap the unwilling commanders and thus shake the Supreme Council's government."

Speaking of his own ideas, the Mourning Lion believes that since he wants to defeat the Supreme Council, he must not only be on the front line, but also take action in other aspects, whether it is infiltrating the ruling class or winning over those commanders with military power, he must be on the agenda as soon as possible.

"Yes, our regime can give more benefits to those commanders than the Supreme Council, which has already been condemned to death by the profit-making class, you are right, leave this matter to you, Mourning Lion, don't let me down."

Faced with the idea of losing the lion, Salas felt that he should really do this after thinking about it, after all, in the face of the old regime like the Supreme Council, it is indeed necessary to start from all aspects, otherwise it is easy to stalemate if you rely on the front-line soldiers alone, after all, the commanders of the front-line soldiers prefer the war to extract more benefits from it than loyal to Salas.

Even the reason why they joined Salas's rebellion was to grab more profits.

"I'll arrange it as soon as possible, Lord Salas."

Seeing that this matter was arranged for him by Lord Salas again, although the mourning lion was used to it, he still felt a little tired welling up in the fire.

When Salas's side began to co-opt the commanders and rulers of the Supreme Council, the Supreme Council was also moving those who were not absolutely loyal to the positions of the rulers, and the Supreme Council was aware of their internal problems before Salas, who realized that it could win over and divide the Supreme Council.

In order to stabilize the situation of the war, under the consultation of the members of the Supreme Council, the scientific researcher Aelita was successfully elected as the new member of the Supreme Council, and at the same time, the troops under the command of the Red Spider, who had shown their loyalty to the High Council, were also transferred to the surface of Cybertron, although the Red Spider did not mobilize all the soldiers.

On the orders of Councillor Halogen, Red Spider left more than half of its soldiers to defend the Ironclad Dragon space station in case the two commanders of Luna-1 and Luna-2 rebelled, and yes, the Supreme Council did not trust the two commanders stationed on the satellite now.

Because compared to the Red Spider, who showed loyalty to the Supreme Council, the commanders of Lumen I and Lumen II were very hesitant to be wooed by the Halogen Council, and after seeing that the situation in the Supreme Council was slightly worse, they obviously did not want to be drawn into the internal war that had already affected the entire territory of Cybertron.

So, they chose to prevaricate the Halogen Councillors, saying that they wanted to prevent an alien threat from outside the surface of Cybertron, and there were really no extra troops to be deployed to support the Supreme Council, and after hearing the two commanders' prevarication of the Supreme Council, the members of the Supreme Council were furious.

In the eyes of the members of the Supreme Council, their Supreme Council has not lost yet, how dare this group of commanders who are supported by the Supreme Council prevaricate them, and even use lies to refuse the Supreme Council's call for war, this group of guys should really be stripped of the fire and sent to Grasse No. 1 prison on Moonlet-2.

After knowing that the two commanders of Luna 1 and Luna 2 were rebellious, the members of the Supreme Council became more and more satisfied with the still loyal Red Spider, and in order to appease and win over the Red Spider, the Supreme Council specially gave the Red Spider a bunch of honorary titles and gritted its teeth and entrusted the Red Spider with a large amount of supplies.

In the face of the Supreme Council's wooing, Red Spider understands that the Supreme Council is inseparable from him, as long as he operates it properly, it may really be possible to obtain greater benefits from the Supreme Council, of course, before this, Red Spider understands that he needs to stabilize the front of the Supreme Council.

With the Iron Dragon Space Station joining the war, Red Spider chose to lead the Troublemaker and other soldiers to the Cybertron surface, while the Iron Dragon Space Station was handed over to the Shocking Thunder guard, in order to prevent the Iron Dragon Space Station from falling into the hands of the rebels, Red Spider even privately told Shocking Thunder about the dark super-energy body.

"Dark super-energy body? This thing detonates to destroy the Iron Dragon space station? ”

Standing next to the Red Spider Body, Shocking Thunder looked at the dark super-energy body that was locked in the Iron Dragon Space Station, and looked at the Red Spider who looked confident on the side with some doubts.

"Judging from the data alone, there is a great chance of destroying the Iron Dragon Space Station, and in addition, this kind of murder weapon is not only lethal if it is detonated, once it is contaminated by the dark super energy body, it will become a monster that has lost its mind."

Red Spider introduced to Shocking Thunder that this was the last hole card of the Iron Dragon Space Station, of course, if it could, Red Spider didn't want this hole card to be used, because it would be too dangerous, not only for the rebels, but also for them.

"I see, I'll take notice."

Seeing that the red spider said this, the earth-shattering thunder nodded and didn't say anything more, but he didn't expect that the Iron Dragon Space Station actually contained such a big killing weapon that did not conform to the morality of their race, what happened to Cybertron in the past.

After explaining the shocking thunder, Red Spider led the Storm and the other soldiers to land on the transport plane and return to the surface of Cybertron.

meanwhile

Cybertron North

Celestial City

When the Red Spider side was mobilized by the Supreme Council, the defense line where Optimus Prime and the police car were located had become precarious, although they received the heavy weapons support of the Supreme Council, they still could not hold their positions for a long time, compared to the defenders of a single class, the multi-arm troops under the command of Flying Cloud broke through everywhere.

Even in order to take the city faster, Feiyun sent all the air troops to bombard the position, although the damage caused was not much, but it also hit the determination of the defenders to resist, although Optimus Prime and the police car saw this, although they tried their best to resist and inspire the soldiers under their command, but they still could not avoid them gradually falling into a disadvantage.

Noticing that a large number of rebels were conquering one building after another under the cover of their air forces, and when they called for heavy artillery to blow up the impenetrable buildings, the police car understood that their defense line would not be able to hold it, so the police car came to Optimus Prime, who was operating the cannon fire, and informed Optimus Prime of the current situation of the position.

"Are our defenses about to fall, police cars?"

After handing over the cannon to Lightning, Optimus Prime's azure optical mirror looked at the police car that came to find him, in the position, sometimes the police car was more like a commander than him, and Optimus Prime preferred to fight side by side with the soldiers on the front line rather than command in the rear, so the task of commanding fell on the shoulders of the police car.

"Not yet, however, some areas have already been breached, and the rebels' forces are rapidly passing through the breached area, and I'm afraid they plan to go around to our rear and annihilate us to ensure that the defenders of the city can't stop them from taking the city."

The terminal of the police car projected the current situation in the war zone of the city, and in the projection, the symbols symbolizing the rebels were rapidly interspersed, and it was obvious that they wanted to keep the defenders of the city on this line forever.

"Now I'm leading the team to retake the breached area, can I stop the rebels' plans, police cars."

Looking at the projection on the police car terminal, Optimus Prime lowered his head and asked the police car if he wanted to, willing to risk his life again in exchange for opportunity and hope.

"I'm afraid we can't stop it, Optimus Prime, we are not Tian Yuan, nor are we the legendary Titans, many times, we can't change the direction of the war, now we should probably think more about how to retain more resistance forces, and when the time comes, when the reinforcements arrive, we can also join forces inside and outside."

The police car interrupted Optimus Prime's desire to risk his life in exchange for a slim hope, and discussed with Optimus Prime how to keep more of the flame of hope, rather than waiting for the enemy to surround and destroy them, they should continue to evacuate and rely on the city of Celestial City to fight the enemy guerrilla.

Listening to the police car's words, Optimus Prime was silent and finally nodded.

"I understand, police car, you take the soldiers to retreat first, I will cover the soldiers, this is my responsibility and obligation as a commander."

After agreeing to the tactics of abandoning the position of the police car and harassing the enemy in the city, Optimus Prime asked the police car to lead the team to retreat first, while he stayed behind to cover them.

"Optimus Prime"

"I see, I'll take them back."

The police car just wanted Optimus Prime, who was the commander, to lead the team to retreat, but he saw Optimus Prime's azure optical mirror that contained trust, and felt Optimus Prime's trust in him, the police car raised his head and nodded slightly, and he took Optimus Prime's order again, as an adjutant, also as a friend.

By the time the police car began to contact the defenders to blow up the heavy weapons and retreat again, Optimus Prime had already led the Regulator troops and Lightning to attract the attention of the rebels, believing that his mech's appearance had been recorded by the rebels in the terminal, and that as long as he was still fighting on the front line, the rebels would focus some of their attention on him.

Just as Optimus Prime had guessed, the rebels did notice Optimus Prime, the temporary commander of the city, and quickly reported the matter to Feiyun, who was in the headquarters, and when he learned that Optimus Prime was still on the front line, Feiyun immediately issued an order to shoot Optimus Prime on the front line.

As the coordinates of Optimus Prime were sent to the rear heavy artillery position, a large number of pulse shells swept through the sky and rained down on the position where Optimus Prime was located, and in the explosion, Optimus Prime transformed into a vehicle form and quickly retreated outside the bombing range.

The rebels, on the other hand, continued to pursue Optimus Prime after discovering them, and did not forget to contact the friendly forces that had already circled the rear, and constantly sent them the coordinates of Optimus Prime, the commander of the defenders.

Of course, although he wanted to send Optimus Prime back to the source of the fire, Feiyun also knew that destroying the defenders was the most important thing, and he had the air troops constantly bombard the positions in order to deter the defenders, and at the same time let the troops behind them speed up to encircle the defenders' positions.

At the same time as the flying cloud accelerated the speed of the encirclement, the police car was also mobilizing the defenders to withdraw towards the city area of Bosa Tiancheng in various action teams.

After giving the order to retreat to the city and continue to resist through the communication channel of the sensor, the police car beckoned the soldiers to bring the sensors to support Optimus Prime, and then, in the ruins of the building that were bombed and only the broken walls remained, the police car successfully picked up Optimus Prime and the adjustment vehicle troops.

"Optimus Prime! Retreat! ”

After using a shoulder-resistant thermal rocket to shoot down a Cybertron jet fighter, the police car hurriedly instructed the soldiers to retreat with the Regulator and Lightning, while he also lifted the scratched Optimus Prime and retreated to the rear.

"Police car, how's the rest of the defenders doing?"

After simply repairing his body with a welding torch stretched out his fingertips, Optimus Prime, whose optical mirror was still bright, asked about the other defenders of the police car.

"They have already started to retreat, and if they continue to resist the rebels, they will retreat to the city."

The police car answered Optimus Prime's question if the soldiers were willing to continue to resist the rebels
