#592 - Chapter 29: Moths to Flame
As soon as the vanguard of the Republic Guard Brigade arrived, they saw the Decepticons above the pyramid. The commander did not hesitate and immediately issued the attack order.
The Egyptian Army's Republic Guard Brigade was a well-trained and well-equipped force, with tanks including T-62s and M1A1s. Armored vehicles included BMP-1s, BMR-600s, and YPR-765s.
All the tanks and armored vehicles aimed at the pyramid and opened fire, even deploying 155mm artillery, completely disregarding this national symbol. More and more troops continued to arrive and joined the attack. Fortunately, the pyramid was built with stones weighing more than two tons each, making it very solid, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago.
Megatron immediately issued an order to have nearby Decepticons rush over.
At this moment, space fluctuated, and The Fallen reappeared on top of the pyramid. Seeing that it was being attacked by humans, he was very displeased. He stretched out his hand, and the Matrix of Leadership in his palm emitted a faint glow.
A wave of energy spread out, and the entire space trembled. A powerful energy field covered the area. The shells fired were suspended in mid-air, and all the Egyptian army's vehicles, tanks, artillery, and even the soldiers themselves, were floating in the air.
Earlier, Simmons and Leo had carried the injured pilot into the abandoned exhibition hall, avoiding The Fallen's big move. But they were happy too soon. The Fallen manipulated these objects, floating them high in the air, and then quickly dropping them. Several tanks crashed directly into the exhibition hall. They were lucky to escape with their lives.
Thus, the first wave of the Egyptian army's offensive was disintegrated, but the military did not retreat, and more troops were rushing here. In addition, 18 Mirage 2000C aircraft of the air force had taken off.
The Fallen spread out his palm, and the Matrix of Leadership floated above it. Relying on the Matrix of Leadership, The Fallen's abilities were greatly enhanced. Having obtained the treasure he had longed for, he did not rage at Megatron: "Humph~ Why haven't you dug out the Star Harvester yet? Can't you even do this little thing well?"
Megatron: "It will be done soon, please wait a moment." Because Decepticon reinforcements had also arrived, as many as a dozen large construction vehicles arrived. The six members were Scrapper, Mixmaster, Scavenger, Bonecrusher, Long Haul, and Hook. They began to combine, and the six Decepticons combined into a giant more than a dozen stories high.
Leo opened his mouth wide: "My God! How can there be such a guy?"
Simmons ignored him and reported the battle situation here to the Pentagon more anxiously. He knew The Fallen's purpose and was extremely eager.
The combined Devastator, even by Transformers' standards, was ugly to a new level. Bumblebee, hiding in the Sun Boat Museum, had a lot to say about this. The Decepticons did not block the signal here, and Bumblebee was able to talk to Jazz in Huaguo.
After contacting the Sky Canopy Force, the Imperial Cabinet has formally approved. Agree to use all available means to stop the Decepticons' conspiracy. At the same time, urgently contact the Saudi government and have taken over the use of 12 Dongfeng III missiles. And Bumblebee will provide strike positioning, as long as the Egyptian government agrees, it will be launched immediately. As compensation, China will provide the two countries with the same number of Dongfeng VII series missiles.
Devastator's huge body, like a hill, climbed to the top of the pyramid with some difficulty. Its head rotated at high speed, and a special crushing device with powerful destructive power was activated. Accompanied by a heart-pounding roar, it began to attack the pyramid's hard shell. In an instant, gravel flew and dust filled the air.
At this moment, sharp and piercing sounds of breaking through the air suddenly came from the distant horizon. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" Several air-launched missiles streaked like meteors and accurately landed near the top of the pyramid. It turned out that the Egyptian air force had arrived at the scene in time. They sent a total of 18 advanced Mirage 2000C fighters, and in close formations of three aircraft each, systematically dropped bombs on the target area.
However, facing the fighter jets' fierce offensive, The Fallen seemed disdainful: "What a bunch of annoying little bugs who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised a huge palm, and an invisible force burst out in an instant.
The stones that had been scattered around by Devastator's crushing seemed to be attracted by a mysterious force, and they floated up and quickly gathered together, forming a barrier like a brilliant star ring, rotating around the entire pyramid at high speed.
Those Mirage 2000 fighters, like moths to a flame, were swept into the invisible force field. With deafening explosions, these fighters crashed into the star ring composed of stones, turning into balls of burning flames.
At the same time, Ragnahya town. William led the American troops in a brief rest during the battle. At this moment, their position was in a mess, filled with smoke, and many soldiers were seriously injured, with painful groans and shouts rising and falling. Medics were busy shuttling through the crowd, racing against time to rescue every life-threatening wounded.
Epps rushed to the major, panting, and reported: "Major, we finally found The Fallen's exact location! According to the latest intelligence, he is currently near Cairo. And after analysis and judgment from above, the device that can destroy the sun is likely to be hidden inside the Great Pyramid. But unfortunately, the Egyptian army that arrived there first to try to stop the enemy's actions has been tragically defeated in the battle with the Decepticons, and the situation is very critical now!"
Jetfire slowly turned his gaze to Optimus Prime, his eyes filled with complex emotions. After a moment of silence, he finally made up his mind and said, "Optimus Prime, young and brave leader. After a long time, it is a great pleasure to see the descendants of the Primes. Now, I plan to do something more meaningful."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jetfire took a deep breath, and then resolutely reached into his own fiery chest with both hands. With a burst of dazzling light and a low roar, Jetfire carefully took out the Spark that symbolized life and power.
He solemnly handed the Spark to Optimus Prime and said earnestly: "Child, accept this precious gift from me. Feel the powerful power of us early pioneers, and I hope you can use it to complete your mission!"
