Transformers Begins with War for Cybertron

Chapter 113 The Encounter of Ironhide and Optimus Prime

"Shoot! Shoot these rebels!"

Without any thought, the iron sheet pressed the trigger, and a Transformer in the form of an assault vehicle was torn to pieces under the pulse bomb, with limbs and energy fluid splashing everywhere.

Then Ironhide dropped the shotgun, which was out of ammunition, and turned to retreat towards the position.

This is the front line of Cybertron's capital Iron Fort against Salas. Large and small infantry units exchange fire here, shooting at each other. Whether it is the rebels or the soldiers under the Supreme Council, they all return to the source of fire in the fight.

Ironhide picked up an automatic electromagnetic rifle from the wreckage of the friendly army in the position. He shot at the rebels and the surrounding friendly soldiers did the same. At this moment, a pulse bomb came from behind, and in the next microsecond, the explosion swept the assaulting rebel squad.

Tin Hide turned his head and looked back, a tall, muscular body was reflected in Tin Hide's azure blue optical mirror.

Immediately afterwards, before Ironhide could react, a large number of soldiers rushed out from both sides of the tall blue-red lacquered Transformer body. Unlike Ironhide's colleagues in the police force, they entered the trench nimbly and quickly fired at the rebels while the friendly forces watched.

"This"

Ironhide looked in surprise at the soldiers who were rushing into the battlefield around him. Where did these friendly troops come from? Are they reinforcements sent by Senator Shockwave?still?
When Iron Skin was puzzled, Optimus Prime also entered the position, and then, accompanied by the police car that entered the position before, Optimus Prime asked the commander of the current position.

"Hello, I am the reinforcements sent by the Supreme Council. Where is the commander of your position?"

Optimus Prime looked at the iron sheet and asked, while 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 the enemy's stray bullets while countering the charge of the rebels. Among the remaining defenders of this position, I am probably the most senior in rank."

After confirming that the serial number presented by the police car was not false, Second Lieutenant Ironhide truthfully reported the current situation of the position to Optimus Prime. During the previous charge against the rebels, Ironhide's chief, together with the headquarters, was hit by stray bullets from the rebels who deviated from the bombing coordinates. Now they have returned to the source of the fire.

"Most of the defenders on the position, including me, are reorganized from the Iron Fort Police Force. We lack the necessary training. Under the attack of the rebels, the troops have suffered heavy casualties. If it weren't for the arrival of your reinforcements, Mr. Optimus Prime, we might have been sent back to the fire source by the rebels."

Ironhide expressed his gratitude to Optimus Prime. When he fought back against the rebels just now, Ironhide thought he was going back to the source of fire to meet Pushen, but he didn't expect to be rescued by the reinforcements who came from behind.

"I understand, second lieutenant, now I need your help. I will hand over the remaining defenders on the ground to you. I need you to strengthen the position. During this period, I will lead the troops to resist the rebel attack."

After roughly understanding the situation on the battlefield, Optimus Prime nodded, and then handed over the remaining defenders on the battlefield to Iron Skin. After all, Iron Skin was the only one with the highest rank among the defenders on the battlefield. It was just a matter of letting this second lieutenant continue to lead the defenders to strengthen the position.

"Yes, sir, I'll get the soldiers into action."

Ironhide took the order and passed on Optimus Prime's words. After hearing that the new chief did not intend to let them fight the rebels, the defenders in the position also cheered and accepted the order. Obviously, the previous rebel attack frightened them.

"I thought we could stay in the Iron Fort for a while longer. Unexpectedly, we were sent to the front line here to fight against the rebels as soon as we replenished our troops."

"In addition, Optimus Prime, there is one thing we need to pay attention to. Most of the recruits recruited by the Iron Fortress are not protected by phase shifting devices. If they are not commanded properly on the battlefield, it is easy to cause a large number of casualties. Therefore, in order to maintain combat power, I suggest defending and watching to see what offensive plans the rebels have."

Standing next to Optimus Prime's body, the police car talked about what happened to them after they returned to the Iron Fort from the Battlefield of Whirling Sky City. While wooing Optimus Prime, the members of the Supreme Council also replenished Optimus Prime's troops to full strength, although most of them were recruits without the protection of phase shifting devices, and they did not even train for a few stellar cycles.
"I understand your concerns, police car. I will not let the soldiers launch a counter-charge against the rebels. As you said, we now need to train recruits through the battlefield and wait for the arrival of weapons and equipment support from the rear."

Optimus Prime and the police car were talking about the fact that the Supreme Council sent them to the front line of the Iron Fort. Alita actually revealed to Optimus Prime that after becoming a councilor, Alita also learned about the current situation of the Supreme Council. 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 led the team back from the front line. When the Iron Fort troops deployed in the direction of the Whirling Sky City and prepared to return for help, the Supreme Council decided to let Optimus Prime, who returned from the Whirling Sky City first, lead the troops to support Congressman Shockwave, and help block the main force of Salas, at least until the Iron Fort troops returned.

"The Supreme Council promised me that they will provide us with weapons and equipment as soon as possible. The members said that as long as we persist, the support from 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 phase shifting devices was not because of prejudice and suspicion, but because the Supreme Council really did not have phase shifting devices in stock in the factory warehouse in Iron Castle.

Although the Supreme Council is doing its best to produce weapons and equipment, it still cannot supply all the troops on the front line. There is no way that the Supreme Council can only give priority to supplying the Iron Fort troops from the Whirling Sky City and the troops under Councilor Shockwave.

Optimus Prime knew that there were not a few recruits under his command who arrived on the battlefield to fight the rebels without receiving life-saving equipment, or that a large number of newly formed troops without phase shifting devices were thrown into the frontline battlefield of the Iron Fort in order to protect the Iron Fort and the continuation of the Supreme Council regime.

They had no retreat, and no phase shifting device that could deflect pulse bombs. They could only fight the rebels with pulse rifles and thermal bazookas. Although these recruits were brave enough to show their aura, unfortunately they couldn't.

In other words, in the eyes of the ferocious rebels, the so-called imposing manner of the recruits is nothing more than self-deception. They easily see through the panic of the recruits when they first enter the battlefield. This is not the fault of the recruits. After all, they were only painters or some civilian residents a few star cycles ago.

"Our two wings are retreating. Next, I'm afraid it will be our turn to be attacked."

Listening to the battle situation reported by the friendly forces in the communication network, Optimus Prime gripped his pulse rifle tightly, and it was their turn.

When Optimus Prime and the others were about to stand firm, the Royal Enemy also came to the communication center of Stan City again. He wanted to expel the Salas regime from the rebel army and create a war declaration against the Salas regime.
