Six Decepticon Vehicons, huddled together with their knees clutched, spearheaded the assault, marking their first descent onto the Decepticon island.

They crashed onto a tar-paved road on Terindad Island, leaving behind six impact craters in their wake.

Then, accompanied by ferocious roars, the six swiftly-transforming Decepticon Vehicons clambered out of the craters.

"Show no mercy, disregard any structures on the island, and use all means necessary to annihilate the invading enemies…"

After issuing the attack order, Thunder charged forward, brandishing his weapon.

Swindle followed closely. Lately, due to Sun Cheng's growing distrust, he had been barred from returning to Base Two, and the resources and energy allocated to him monthly had been cut down to a mere third.

This cunning creature was well aware that his minor scheming during Sun Cheng's journey to Mars had been uncovered.

However, now Swindle was in a tight spot. Self-serving as most Decepticons, and deeply distrusting others due to Starscream's past betrayals, he couldn't trust anyone but himself.

This resulted in a standoff with Sun Cheng, who demanded his absolute loyalty.

Without hesitation, Swindle fired his Plasma Cannon, easily sending one of the Decepticon Vehicons flying. Watching Thunder battle four at once, and surrounded by Decepticon Vehicons crashing down within hundreds of meters, Swindle felt a tremor of fear.

His memories of past defeats had been completely erased by Starscream.

However, since his awakening over a decade ago, and until being sent to execute missions alongside Frenzy, he had remained at the Moon Base. He had speculated about the number of Vehicons Starscream had cultivated over the past centuries, understanding they were not something Frenzy and he could contend with.

During this momentary distraction, Swindle faced immediate retribution.

Over the past few months, although he had enhanced his mechanical body and weaponry significantly, morphing into a high-ranking warrior by crafting Cybertron weapons for Sun Cheng and embezzling materials, he was still on the battlefield.

One of the Decepticon Vehicons, flung by Thunder, staggered to his feet, ready to resume the assault. Suddenly, he noticed Swindle, engaged in combat with two other Decepticon Vehicons.

The Vehicon fiercely swung his equipped metal chain, instantly ensnaring Swindle's distracted arm. With a powerful yank, the unsuspecting Swindle stumbled, and without any notion of chivalry, the two assaulting Decepticon Vehicons seized the opportunity. One swung a Nail Hammer at his head while another slashed a long blade towards Swindle's chest.

With a horrific scream, a lengthy gash was cleaved atop Swindle's mechanical body.

Even worse was the fate of his head; the Nail Hammer's descent caused metal fragments to scatter, and his left side caved in severely.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

One after another, Decepticon Vehicons plummeted onto the island. These cannon fodder soldiers, personally trained by Starscream as part of the Skytiger Legion, were now launching an all-out attack on the island using their favored swarm tactics.

The Decepticons stationed on the island, under Thunder's command, initiated their counteroffensive.

A group of engineers, aspiring to switch to combat roles, struggled to control hundreds of various combat robots on the island, collaborating in the onslaught against the Vehicons.

However, the major combatants on the island were not them but a batch of Decepticon warriors from Sun Cheng's faction.

At Black Market, currently, over forty Decepticon warriors have been rotated and honed from Base Two. They have been promoted from their roles as cultivated Engineers to combat professions.

Despite Sun Cheng's effort to minimize the cultivation time, his Decepticon engineers, upon his instructions, designed mechanical bodies for Engineers promoted to warriors. These designs were somewhat inferior compared to the common Vehicons Decepticons that Starscream cultivated.

However, with the energy weapons that are now widespread in Base Two, they could handle two opponents at once without any issues.

Soon after fully awakening his [Private Legion], Sun Cheng began to engage in battle.

Suddenly, the ground on the island cracked open, and as the metal door on the surface slowly opened, Aerial Combat Robots, each nearly four meters in diameter, swiftly flew out from their stationary warehouse.

There were a total of sixty-four metal spheres. After repeated calculations and experiments, this was the maximum number Sun Cheng could control.

Simultaneously, atop several mountains on the island and specially constructed lighthouses and watchtowers, thirty-two Long-Range Sniper Robots had set up their weapons.

"Strike quickly!"

Sun Cheng commanded through the Communication Channel. After the island was attacked, he had already notified Base Two.

According to the data from Base Two, their satellites in Outer Space orbit had detected a second wave of meteor showers, about to enter the Earth's atmosphere. Unsurprisingly, it should be the second batch of Decepticon Vehicons attacking from the Moon.

The island's anti-air missiles were nearly exhausted during the interception of the first wave of invading Decepticons.

Based on the data from Base Two, they had only twenty-seven minutes to deal with this batch of Decepticons.

For Sun Cheng and his team, this wasn't a challenging task.

The real challenge lay ahead: how to deal with the second batch of Decepticon Vehicons!

Though he had faced setbacks before, Sun Cheng, although slightly agitated, remained focused.

After issuing the swift strike command, he leaped from the mountain top, drew out his Ship-slicing Blade, and charged into a corner of the island where several Vehicons were causing destruction.

Above in the sky, a torrential downpour of bullets suddenly erupted, enveloping the entire area.

"Pop, pop, pop, pop..."

The armor-piercing bullets sounded like sudden summer thunder. From a bird's-eye view, sixty-four Aerial Combat Robots shot at several Vehicons simultaneously. The intense firepower immediately riddled six Vehicons with holes.

Almost instantly, accompanied by the "whizzing" sound of bullets, their heads, chests, and backs showed penetrating wounds.

The Decepticon engineers under Sun Cheng have refined the armor-piercing bullets several times, which can easily pierce through the Vehicons' armor.

The thirty-two Long-Range Sniper Robots, which had been deployed in advance to optimal sniping positions on the island, were hunting down the invading Vehicons with impressive efficiency.
