"I heard the King captured some white people."
"T'Chaka is too soft. If it were me, I'd kill all the colonizers who set foot in Africa. Use their heads to please the Panther God, haha, starting with those white people."
Two Wakandan warriors from a border tribe were discussing the prisoners brought into Wakanda while brushing the hide of a rhino.
A clockwork-modified chestnut-headed starling landed lightly on the horn of a rhino. The nearby Wakandans didn't notice at all that the little bird was eavesdropping on their conversation.
It pecked at the rhino's horn with its beak, subtly analyzing the material of the metal horn.
"This is Vibranium!"
It twisted its neck in shock, looking around. The armor and weapons on those tribal warriors were most likely also made of Vibranium.
How could Wakanda possibly have so much Vibranium!
The recorder had infiltrated the Pentagon's database and obtained detailed information on Vibranium's various properties. Not even Cybertron's most advanced alloys could compare.
Due to its scarcity, even though Vibranium could greatly enhance the Autobots' strength, they had never considered obtaining it.
"It seems there's a Vibranium mine within Wakanda... perhaps all the world's Vibranium originates from Wakanda."
Based on the black market price of Vibranium, the recorder made a rough estimate and determined that Wakanda's income was astronomical. He flapped his wings and weaved through the Wakandan people. The acoustic sensors installed in his head could receive conversations within a two-kilometer radius, directly converting and analyzing them based on keywords.
He quickly found a lot of information about Eclipse. With a flap of his wings, he dodged the hands of the Wakandans around him and flew toward the Black Panther's palace.
Eclipse and his group were imprisoned in a prison converted from an abandoned mine beneath the palace. The recorder, in a secluded corner, morphed into a common fruit bat and quietly flew into the dungeon.
A small amount of Vibranium remained in the rock walls surrounding the prison, allowing the walls to easily absorb the kinetic energy of impacts, making them virtually indestructible. Even the iron bars were made of Vibranium; escape was impossible without a key.
The Wakandan scientists had directly cracked the principle behind Eclipse's abilities. The dungeon had only extremely faint fluorescent light, giving Eclipse no chance to absorb light energy and melt the Vibranium.
"Domiciano must have already sent the intel to BOSS, we'll be out of this damn prison soon."
Eclipse said, his body covered in ghastly whip marks that were slowly healing under his regenerative abilities.
"I still can't figure out what those Wakandans want."
A killer was baffled. Their island was clearly far from Wakanda, so why had these Wakandans suddenly come knocking?
"I observed when I came in. This mine was probably started about thirty years ago. The abandoned mining machinery outside is all products from about thirty to forty years ago, which corroborates everything.
Wakanda's history of large-scale Vibranium mining may only be about forty years. That's exactly a generation. The newly-born young people haven't experienced Wakanda's backward era. From the time they understood things, Wakanda was already more advanced than the outside world. They're destined to be more radical than the older generation, unwilling to be confined to this narrow land, and trying to exert their influence globally.
We came to Africa to establish a country, and just happened to run into this trend. These Wakandans are going to be in trouble."
Matt had once organized the subversion of several small African securities and had a wealth of experience. By just looking at a pile of abandoned mining machinery, he deduced a lot about Wakanda's current situation.
Normally, they could indeed exert influence globally with ease.
Accelerated by Vibranium, Wakanda's technological level had a generational gap compared to the outside world. Although the weapons they designed and produced were niche and hadn't been improved through actual combat, their destructive power was not weak, and they could improve rapidly after suffering a few losses.
The powerful Vibranium force field allowed Wakanda to fail countless times. They could continuously learn from their failures and reform themselves quickly.
Unfortunately, they ran into Broly during their first attempt to project their influence.
Their conversation was heard clearly by T'Chaka and his son.
"I've heard of this Matt; he's notorious in Africa," T'Challa said.
T'Challa had attended many international conferences and diplomatic activities with his father, unlike other Wakandans who were isolated and could only imagine the outside world.
There was indeed such an undercurrent within Wakanda now, and his father was even the one driving it behind the scenes. Most of these young Wakandans were nobles from the tribes; they greatly despised outsiders and knew nothing about Wakanda's history. They believed that compared to Wakandans, other humans were inferior beings. Wakandan technology was the best in the world, and they had the obligation to rule those inferior peers and promote the technological development of Earth.
"His analysis does have some merit, but the most crucial thing now is figuring out who's behind these orcs."
T'Chaka was somewhat anxious. He'd been trying to find out the identity of the overlord and BOSS behind these orcs. He'd even resorted to torture. But the orcs' willpower was incredibly firm, and their physiques were shockingly robust; he couldn't get anything out of them.
They didn't notice a tiny fruit bat circling the dungeon.
Clockwork transformed into a Chestnut-headed Myna and blended into a flock of birds. It flew out of Wakanda's borders, then soared into the sky, transforming into a cassette tape and landing in the hands of a radio.
He was currently inside a spaceship's cabin, surrounded by the transformed assassins and Autobots.
As the commander, Optimus Prime instantly received all the intelligence Clockwork had gathered through the data link between the Autobots. Even the Wakandans' boastful words were thoroughly scanned.
"Arrogant fools."
Although it was a counterattack, Optimus Prime was still a little hesitant about invading a kingdom. He preferred to negotiate to rescue Eclipse and the others. But first, Ironhide had expressed his stance before him, and second, to demonstrate loyalty to Broly, he led all the Autobots to stand up.
Even when formulating tactics, he chose a decapitation strategy that would minimize casualties for Wakanda, intending to subdue the Wakandans by capturing King T'Chaka.
However, after learning that Wakanda was such a barbaric and aggressive nation, his guilt about invading them lessened considerably.
"Mr. Broly, the Clockwork has located Eclipse and his group."
Optimus Prime said, projecting a holographic display of Wakanda from his palm, marking Eclipse's position on it.
"I understand."
Broly was currently floating outside the spaceship, overlooking the land below. The Vibranium within the mines interfered with his ability to sense ki, so he couldn't rely on tracking ki to pinpoint Eclipse's location.
"This time, I'll only ensure Eclipse's safety. As for Wakanda, I'll leave that to you."
He planned to use this opportunity to test the abilities of his subordinates.
