Chapter 164 To the Court
The home team left the low-monitor landing point.
Leading the way, the energy blade on his left arm was half-extended, and the double-edged sword at his waist was ready to be drawn at any moment.
Every so often, she would repeat in the channel: "Self-identity verification."
Tong Tianxiao followed closely behind, his voice steady: "Tong Tianxiao, deputy commander of the main team. Mission: Assist the commander-in-chief in advancing the flank of the courtroom and maintaining the tactical framework on the ground."
AZ walked to the left rear, his tone indifferent: "AZ-91101, main team mobility authorization. Mission: provide support, reconnaissance, and handle abnormal passages."
The mechanical dog moved close to the ground: "Mechanical dog. Mission: reconnaissance, counter-surprise attack, bite the enemy."
Yin Xiang glanced at him and suppressed a laugh.
The Knights of the Law responded more uniformly. They stated their names, locations, and missions, using these to pull themselves back to reality.
Every time the tide tried to get closer, it was blocked by these repeated names and tasks.
Countdown 28』02』』.
The first batch of shark spirit law enforcement teams rushed out from the fork in the road ahead.
They look more ferocious than in the footage, with thick carapaces, protruding jaws, and armed with standard electric spears and restraint nets.
They failed to sound the alarm because the alarm loop was still suppressed by the Jazz and Cybertronian access networks.
Without stopping, the magnetic force instantly tore apart the two electric spears in the front row, causing the spear tips to deflect and collide with the shoulder armor of the companions behind.
Immediately afterwards, she squeezed the entire machine through the gap, her left arm energy blade flashed briefly, and she slashed across the lower edge of a shark demon enforcer's chest armor, ripping off its restraint generator in one piece.
Tongtianxiao followed and advanced.
The heavy artillery was raised, and its firepower fell on both sides of the gap torn open by the deflector, forcing the law enforcement team behind to be unable to close in.
The Knights of Law advanced along the boundaries of his firepower, their shields holding back the attacks from both sides, while their short blades and electromagnetic locks precisely struck the joints.
The mechanical dog darted out from the shadows and bit the leg of a shark demon that was trying to flank it, dragging it to its knees on the spot.
Tong Tianxiao raised his hand: "Second floor on the left."
The magnetic vector immediately leaped up, its toes stepping onto the protruding part of the wall, using the force to change direction, and the magnetic core glowed faintly at its chest.
She forcibly pulled the two law enforcement officers who were preparing to deploy restraint nets from behind the guardrail, slammed them together, and threw them into the middle of the passage.
Tongtianxiao's firepower stopped exactly half a step outside her landing point.
When she landed, the first enforcement team lost formation.
The home team bypassed the fallen shark-like enforcer and advanced toward the flank of the courtroom.
Countdown 27』31』』.
The Ark rescue team entered Aquitron.
Their landing point was closer to the outer perimeter of the Ark's anchorage. It was more open and damp than where the main team was located, and in the distance, the Ark could be seen sinking in a semi-open anchorage area, its hull covered with an unnatural, dull sheen.
The captain of the elite guard raised his hand: "Patrol."
The team members dispersed to quickly identify potential risks in the surrounding area. The Thunder Rescue Team headed straight for the Ark's docking point. The absence of the jacks meant they received fewer complaints during their repair work, but their efficiency remained high.
Rumble looked up at the Ark and asked, "What's wrong with this thing?"
He scanned the external readings in a daze: "Low-frequency lock-in remains. Power lines are normal, but start-up permission has been tampered with."
Boom Boom stretched his hammer arm and said, "I can fix it!"
The captain of the elite guard walked by and said, "Don't even think about it."
Boom! He clicked his tongue in regret.
The Thunder rescue team quickly sent back confirmation.
There were no signals of activity from the main crew inside the Ark. The access logs for the base were chaotic, with all crew members moving in the direction of the courtroom.
The low-frequency effects of Aquitron lingered in the hull systems, causing the navigation core to refuse to respond and the propulsion system to be locked in a semi-startup state.
The elite guard captain quickly issued new orders: "Leave one group of the Thunder Rescue Team to guard the Ark and try to clear the low-frequency lock; the rest of you follow me to the Inquisition."
Boom Boom immediately stood up to catch up, while Confusion clung tightly to the captain.
The captain ultimately did not refute it.
A patrol of shark demons rushed out from the other side of the mooring area, and the rumbling iron hammer arms finally found a practical use.
He slammed his hammer into the ground, and the shockwave exploded along the ground, causing the front-line patrolmen to lose their balance.
Taking advantage of the chaos, they used short-range interference to penetrate their communication nodes, and the warning lights that had just lit up were forcibly extinguished.
The elite guards advanced toward the western entrance of the courtroom, cutting through the rumbling and chaotic patrol lines.
Countdown 26』20』』.
The heavy-armored suppression team entered the middle outer ring.
As soon as the steel cable team landed, the shark demon law enforcement group behind the defensive wall spotted them.
Several rows of gun barrels lit up simultaneously, and restraint chains popped out from both sides of the ceiling, attempting to lock these heavy targets in place as soon as possible.
As the steel cable deformed and the mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex slammed into the ground, the entire middle-level tunnel vibrated.
Iron Slag followed closely behind, its Triceratops form directly confronting the electromagnetic cannon fire, and a row of turrets were directly ripped off their foundations.
The mud blocked the passage, and the massive, long-necked body blocked the pursuers' path completely. A howling tail blade swept across, forcing the shark-spirit enforcer who tried to flank back to its original position. Darts swept overhead, and wing shadows cut off the high-altitude firepower.
The Decepticons' basic combat forces followed behind the breach created by the mechanical dinosaurs, quickly establishing crossfire and turning the space torn open by the heavy infantry into a defensive line.
One of the Decepticons whispered, "I never imagined I'd be killing sharks alongside Dinobots."
Another replied, "Please, who would have thought of that!"
Countdown 25』43』』.
The swarm's underground troops entered the lower maintenance layer.
The area is riddled with pipes, and supporting pillars extend downwards into the darkness. Vibrations from flowing water can be heard intermittently beneath one's feet. The walls are covered with control nodes characteristic of the Five Faces, like eyes embedded in the building.
Insect King Kong likes this place. It's dark, narrow, and has a complex environment, suitable for hunting and destruction.
Black Widow controlled a thin thread attached to a control panel on the wall. With a flick of her finger, the node immediately revealed the energy transmission structure deep within:
"Go on, little bugs."
Insect swarm uprising.
The insect-like giant gibberish severed the control lines of the reinforcement channel, dismantled several energy diversion valves in the lower level of the courtroom, and chewed the support stabilizer down to a point where it could barely be maintained.
Hard Shell tore open a node shell with its claws, and a flash of electricity appeared inside, cutting off the warning signal that was about to sound in the distance into a muffled hum.
Countdown 25』10』』.
The technical support team's shockwave and jack landed on the temporary technical point behind the home team.
On-site updates to the space bridge need to be continuous; otherwise, it will become dangerous for subsequent teams to enter and exit the passageways.
Although Aquitron's alarm system was under control, it was not completely disabled, and several patrol loops began to attempt self-correction.
Shockwave input to wall port:
"The access control system and alarm system are linked. Direct damage would trigger a level two lockdown."
"You can disable the auxiliary lock on the right. I'll take over the main line."
Jack looked at him, somewhat surprised: "I thought you would say that this doesn't make sense."
"Under the current conditions, limited destruction is justifiable."
The jack chuckled, attaching the miniature explosive device to the right auxiliary lock as he laughed: "So you can speak machine language."
The shock wave is simultaneously connected to the main line.
The explosion was minimal, the auxiliary lock disengaged, the shockwave fed a falsified shutdown record into the alarm circuit, and the jack kicked the door open.
Both machines simultaneously announced, "Success!"
Then they glanced at each other, clearly not happy that the other person would say the same thing, but thankfully they didn't argue.
Countdown 24』36』』.
Witnessing area of the courtroom.
The jazz stood on the edge of the crowd, remaining quiet and silent.
Below the courtroom, the curator walked at a leisurely pace, gently directing the order of the witness area.
The five faces of the strange judge slowly rotated high up, and rows of recording terminals around the judge's bench lit up.
The pre-trial proceedings have begun.
At the edge of the witness area, an Autobot whispered to Jazz, "Where did you go just now?"
Jazz shrugged slightly: "This is Optimus Prime's trial, I need to be mentally prepared."
The other party, without suspicion, nodded in agreement.
The sound of the tide was gentle and steady, and the jazz counted the time within that sound.

……
Countdown 24』02』』.
The home team was intercepted for the second time.
The crocodile demon emerged from the control channel, heavily armored, with a higher-level identification ring around its neck, followed by two teams of shark demon guards.
They were clearly smarter; they first scanned the main team's formation, then raised their hands, and several blocking gates fell simultaneously from the front and sides.
Tongtianxiao engaged in close combat, and the Faheng Knights' formation was reorganized accordingly.
"Authorized individual." AZ's voice came from the left rear, staring at the crocodile demon.
Just as the vector turned to look at him, he was no longer in his original position.
She only saw a dark shadow flash past the side of the wall, and then one of the shark spirit guards behind the crocodile spirit was suddenly pulled into the side corridor by something. The only sound was a faint metallic sound hitting the wall.
Before the crocodile demon could turn its head, AZ appeared from the other side.
He approached, scanned, copied, and then, the moment the Knight of Law blocked the guard's view, dragged him into the shadows.
A few seconds later, an identical crocodile spirit emerged from the side corridor.
Their gait, appearance, and the way they casually order others to make way when they raise their hands are all the same.
AZ spoke in the voice of a crocodile spirit: "The flank passage is under maintenance abnormal. All low-level units are to relocate to the outer ring of the middle layer for support."
The shark spirit guard hesitated.
AZ tilted her head, her tone now tinged with the impatience of a crocodile spirit: "Do I need to repeat myself?"
The guards immediately agreed and left.
As Yin Vector watched the "crocodile demon" head towards the control room, his optical lens stared wide-eyed the entire time.
Countdown 23』31』』.
AZ entered the small control room.
There were only two low-level maintenance units inside, and he directly used the crocodile spirit's identity marker to pass through the gate control system.
"Inspect and rearrange," he said.
The console accepts the command, and a series of channel graphs light up.
AZ first opened the flank passage in front of the main force, then briefly turned off the secondary alarm. Afterward, he marked several pursuing routes as "maintenance closed," and forged a high-privilege patrol record, writing the remaining Crocodile Demon troops' markers into a completely opposite passage.
After doing all that, he switched back to the internal channel.
"The flank passage is open. Secondary alarm deactivated. The pursuers will take a detour."
BICk0's voice was filled with shock, almost making him doubt the malfunction of his audio receiver: "Your identity marker has just been changed to enemy privileges!"
AZ: "It's necessary for work."
Countdown 22』40』』.
The gate blocking the way in front of the home team was opened, revealing a shortcut into the courtroom.
On Cybertron's main control panel, the beams of light from all the squads were converging towards the Inquisition.
-
Just as the vector passed a corner and was about to continue its advance toward the courtroom, the sound of shockwave suddenly came through the channel.
"Megatron's spark signal detected."
The vector stopped.
Tongtianxiao immediately looked into the depths of the passage: "Location?"
The shockwave projects the markers onto the shared layer.
The signal is located in a separate, isolated area on the lower level of the Energy Harbor, which is some distance away from the outer layer, protected by a five-sided monster access lock.
The jack asked the vector in the channel, "Don't tell me what to do—"
The vector is looking at that position.
Countdown 22』17』』.
She said, "I'm going to save Megatron."
