Missiles from Howling grounds, trailing long tails.

Although the missile models equipped on the warships of the United Fleet nations were not entirely identical, they all arrived over Cairo at roughly the same time.

Sentinel Prime raised his head and looked at the incoming missiles with a faint smirk on his face.

He reached out to calm down some restless Autobots. "Don't move, let the Decepticon Cannon Fodder handle it."

The cooperation between Sentinel Prime and Megatron had been a mutual calculation from the very beginning.

He could guess what Megatron was calculating, probably Autobots or even the entire Cybertron. Megatron's vision determined his scale, which was somewhat limited.

But Megatron could never have guessed what Sentinel Prime was calculating!

"Perhaps you think I'm plotting against you, Megatron, or maybe the entire Skytiger Legion... Unfortunately, from the beginning, you've been mistaken..."

Muttering to himself, Sentinel Prime turned his attention back to the missiles in the sky.

His gaze shifted to the southwest, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Not long ago, a team sent out by Sentinel Prime had delivered some unfavorable news to him.

His young and naive student, Optimus Prime, was not only alive but also didn't seem to be injured.

"Could my Rust Gun's rusting effect be reversed? The [Leadership Module] is truly remarkable..."

Optimus Prime had once presented the [Leadership Module] to him, hoping that Sentinel Prime would safeguard this sacred artifact of Cybertronian civilization. However, Sentinel Prime had ultimately refused!

Because when Optimus Prime handed over the [Leadership Module], he also informed Sentinel Prime that the magical energy inside it was almost depleted after repeatedly resurrecting a large number of fallen Autobots.

Sentinel Prime had personally verified this and, as a matter of convenience, returned the [Leadership Module] to Optimus Prime.

But Sentinel Prime hadn't expected that the [Leadership Module] would save Optimus Prime once again at a critical moment.

Calculating the time, Optimus Prime and his loyal Autobots were also approaching Cairo.

The self-assured Sentinel Prime had never really cared much about his naive student.

"I hope you don't underestimate the power of the [Leadership Module]. It may save you once or twice, but it doesn't mean it can protect you indefinitely..."

After a cold snort in his mind, Sentinel Prime suddenly frowned and looked to the left.

Accompanied by a burst of flames, Lightning swiftly descended on top of a skyscraper.

"Your Excellency... How much longer until the portal opens? Human counterattacks are coming, and according to our calculations, these missiles should have been launched from the sea. I'll send someone to deal with them, but here, we won't be able to divert our attention!"

Sentinel Prime's face grew cold, and he looked at Lightning, whose tone was somewhat strange, with a hint of murderous intent.

"Go, do what you need to do. As for my decisions, you are not qualified to question them!"

Lightning's face showed anger, but when his gaze met Sentinel Prime's, he immediately calmed down.

Before taking action, Megatron had warned him multiple times that Sentinel Prime needed to be guarded against but not provoked lightly.

This former king of Primus, with his formidable combat strength, had already given the Decepticons a hard time during the Cybertronian Civil War.

Even if Megatron himself were here, he wouldn't dare to provoke him too much.

Lightning quickly realized this, but he wouldn't back down.

He snorted and then jumped into the air, transforming into an F-22 fighter jet once again, soon disappearing into the sky.

Leaving Sentinel Prime behind, who watched him with a cold smile before shifting his gaze away.

"It's almost time..."

On the Atlantic Ocean, a fleet sailed boldly.

Several Decepticons stood on the fleet, looking out at the endless oceans, wondering what Sun Cheng was thinking right now.

Perhaps they felt like they were just decorations on the ship, standing there without doing anything.

A few seagulls circled around them and tried to land on their bodies.

And at that moment, Sun Cheng moved, immediately scaring away the seagulls.

"Why, do you think we shouldn't intervene to help the Autobots?"

He looked at Thunder and asked with a smile.

This fleet at his feet was composed of four Arsenal Ships from Hynix.

In the waters around the fleet, eight Jason-class attack nuclear submarines were lurking.

On the five warships, there were currently a quasi-leader, three elite warriors, and twenty-seven advanced warriors gathered, representing almost half of Sun Cheng's current forces on Earth.

And right now, their destination was Africa, across the Atlantic Ocean from South America.

Sun Cheng hadn't come to support the Autobots or humans.

This time, he had suddenly taken action for two reasons. Firstly, he wanted to settle the score with the Skytiger Legion for their recent attack on his forces. Secondly, he wanted to cut off another hand of the Skytiger Legion.

Yes, Sun Cheng had set his sights on Lightning, who had escaped from him several months ago.

He had already experienced the power of a Triple Changer.

If it hadn't been for Astrotrain's carelessness back then, not only would it have been difficult to deal with the opponent, but he might have been taken away himself.

With the arrival of Skytiger Legion's major forces led by Shockwave imminent, rather than passively waiting for them to come and settle the score, Sun Cheng preferred to take the initiative. He wanted to cut off a few of their hands while they still lacked the capability to completely resolve the situation, causing them significant pain and fear.

The next time they considered making a move against him, they would have to think twice and calculate whether he was worth the cost.

Thunder nodded, "Yes, I think letting humans, the Skytiger Legion, and the Autobots fight it out to the death is the best outcome for us."

Sun Cheng didn't deny that this was his intention.

"But have you considered whether humans and Optimus Prime currently have the power to deal with the situation in Africa?"

Thunder fell silent and looked at the holographic projections in front of him.

On the first screen, dozens of warships from powerful European countries in the Mediterranean Sea were launching cruise missiles toward the ancient city of Cairo.

On the second screen, dozens of special devices in Cairo were lifting off, emitting dazzling blue lights.

On the third screen, a fleet flying the United States flag was sailing through the Red Sea, seemingly heading for Egypt.

The fourth screen showed Autobots in a city in central-southern Africa engaged in combat with human military forces.

Sun Cheng followed his gaze and smiled.

"After the split among the Autobots, unless those nuclear-armed human nations release their grip, we are probably the most powerful force on Earth right now, and it's time for us to make an appearance."
