Chapter 111: The Encounter Between Iron Skin and Optimus Prime

"Shoot! Shoot at these rebels! ”

Without thinking, Ironhide pressed the trigger, and a Transformer in the form of an assault vehicle was torn to shreds under the pulse bomb, and limbs and energy fluid splattered everywhere.

Ironhide then dropped his depleted shotgun and turned to retreat towards the position.

This is the front line of Cybertron's capital Iron Fort against Salas, where infantry units of all sizes exchange fire, shooting at each other, whether they are rebels or soldiers under the High Council, they are all returning to the source of fire in the fight.

Ironhide picked up an automatic electromagnetic rifle from the wreckage of the friendly aircraft in the position, and he shot at the rebels, as well as the friendly troops around him, when a pulse bullet came from behind, and in the next microsecond, the explosion swept through the attacking rebel squad.

Ironhide looked back at the back, a tall, muscular body reflected on Ironskin's azure optical mirror.

Then, before Iron Sheet could react, a large number of soldiers rushed out from both sides of the tall blue-red lacquered Transformers body, unlike Iron Skin's colleagues in the police force, who were agile and nimble into the trench position, and then fired rapidly at the rebels under the gaze of friendly troops.

"This"

Ironhide looked at the soldiers around him who were quickly thrown into the battlefield in surprise, where did these friendly troops come from, the reinforcements sent by the Shockwave Councilor? Still is?

While Ironhide was confused, Optimus Prime also entered the position, and then, accompanied by the police car that had entered the position before, Optimus Prime asked the commander of the current position.

"Hello, I am a reinforcement sent by the Supreme Council, where is the commander of your position."

Optimus Prime looked at Iron Hide and asked, and at the same time, the police car on the side also showed the number of their unit through the terminal.

"Sir, the commander of our position was hit by a stray bullet from the enemy while countering the rebel charge, and I am probably the largest of the remaining defenders of this position."

After confirming that the number shown by the police car was not false, the second lieutenant Iron Sheet truthfully reported to Optimus Prime the current situation of the position, in the previous charge to counter the rebels, the commander of Iron Sheet was hit by a stray bullet that the rebels deviated from the bombing coordinates together with the command headquarters, and has now returned to the source of the fire.

"At present, most of the defenders on the position, including me, are integrated from the Iron Fort Police Force, we lack the necessary training, under the attack of the rebels, the troops are currently suffering heavy casualties, if it weren't for the arrival of your reinforcements, Optimus Prime, I'm afraid we would have been sent back to the source of fire by the rebels."

Ironhide expressed his gratitude to Optimus Prime, when he fought back against the rebels just now, Ironhide thought that he was going to return to the source of the fire to meet the common gods, but he didn't expect to be saved by reinforcements coming from the rear.

"I see, second lieutenant, now I need your help, I will hand over the remaining defenders on the position to you, I need you to strengthen the position, and in the meantime, I will lead the troops against the rebel attack."

After roughly understanding the situation on the position, Optimus Prime nodded, and then handed over the remaining defenders on the position to Iron Sheet, after all, the highest rank in the defenders on the position is now Iron Sheet, so let this second lieutenant continue to lead the defenders to strengthen the position.

"Yes, sir, I'll get the soldiers moving."

Ironhide took the order and passed on Optimus Prime's words, and after hearing that the new commander did not intend to pit them against the rebels, the defenders in the position also cheered and accepted the order, apparently frightened by the previous rebel attack.

"I thought we could stay in the Iron Fort for a little longer, but I didn't expect that we were sent to the front line here to fight the rebels as soon as we replenished the troops."

"In addition, Optimus Prime, there is one thing we need to pay attention to, most of the recruits replenished by these Iron Fort are not protected by phase offset devices, and it is easy to have a large number of casualties if they are not properly commanded on the battlefield, so in order to maintain combat strength, I recommend defending and waiting to see what offensive plans the rebels have."

Standing next to Optimus Prime's mech, the police car talked about what happened to them after returning to the Iron Castle from the battlefield of Celestial City, and the members of the Supreme Council were wooing Optimus Prime while replenishing the troops under Optimus Prime to full strength, although most of them were recruits who were not protected by the phase offset device, and they did not even train a few stellar cycles

"I understand your concerns, police car, I won't let the soldiers launch a counter-charge against the rebels, as you said, we need to train new recruits through the battlefield and wait for the rear to arrive with weapons and equipment support."

Optimus Prime and the police car said, about the Supreme Council sending them to the front line of the Iron Fort, Aelita actually revealed to Optimus Prime that after becoming a councilor, Aelita also learned about the current situation of the Supreme Council, and they really don't have many soldiers to fight.

Because of this, along with Salas's attack, the members of the Supreme Council noticed Optimus Prime who had retreated from the front line, and when the Iron Fortress troops were defending the direction of the city and preparing to return to help, the Supreme Council decided to let the Optimus Prime department, which was the first to return from the city, lead the troops to support the Shockwave Councillor and help block the main force of Salas, at least until the Iron Castle troops returned.

"The Supreme Council promised me that they would provide us with weapons and equipment as soon as possible, and the parliamentarians said that as long as we hold on, the support of the Supreme Council will soon arrive at the front line to support us."

Optimus Prime knew that the reason why the Supreme Council did not provide the phase offset device was not because of prejudice and suspicion, but because the Supreme Council really didn't have the phase offset device in stock in the Iron Keep's warehouse.

Although the Supreme Council is doing its best to produce weapons and equipment, it still cannot supply all the troops on the front line, and there is no way for the Supreme Council to give priority to the Iron Fort troops on the Celestial City side and the troops under the command of the Shockwave Councilor.

Optimus Prime knew that there were not a few soldiers like his recruits who arrived on the battlefield to fight the rebels without receiving life-saving equipment, or that a large number of new troops without phase offset devices were thrown into the front battlefield of the Iron Fort, in order to protect the Iron Keep and the continuation of the Supreme Council's power.

They had no way out, no phase offset device that could offset the pulse bombs, and had to fight the rebels with pulse rifles and thermal bazookas, and although these recruits were brave enough to make their own moves, they couldn't.

In other words, in the eyes of the murderous rebels, the recruits' so-called momentum is nothing more than self-deception, and they easily see through the panic of the recruits when they first enter the battlefield, which is not to blame the recruits, after all, they were only painters or some civilian residents a few stellar cycles ago.

"Our flanks are retreating, and next, I'm afraid it's our turn to be attacked."

Listening to the battle situation told by the friendly forces in the communication network, Optimus Prime clenched his pulse rifle, it was their turn.

As Optimus Prime prepares to hold their ground, the Predator returns to the communications hub of Stan, where he wants to remove the Salas regime from the rebels and claim war against the Salas regime.
