Almost at the same time that Knight shouted the shutdown command, Paladin Dance's expression changed from anger to confusion, followed by boundless despair! Finally, all functions of his body stopped, he lowered his head, and his hands hung down feebly.
He just stood there motionless.
This scene was clearly seen by other surrounding Brotherhood of Steel soldiers. This scene was like a thunder explosion!
Paladin Danse! He’s actually a synth!!
This man has always adhered to the code of chivalry, integrity, fairness, justice, bravery, and mercy. Even Elder Maxson recognized him as the best paladin of the Brotherhood of Steel. But such a man who can even be said to be the spiritual representative of the Brotherhood of Steel, actually
A synth!?
Almost every knight of the Brotherhood of Steel who saw this scene felt that their faith collapsed. They looked at each other and their comrades around them. At this moment, they felt that these partners they spent day and night with were so strange!
Are you a synth? No, I'm not! Are you?
They had almost lost the will to fight. Facing the offensive of the academy's synthetic army, which was clearly at the end of its strength, the knights of the Brotherhood of Steel were retreating steadily.
Danse's team began to retreat hastily and merged with the larger army. They ran past Danse who was still standing there, but they had no time to look at him, or in other words, they did not dare to look at him!
The knights of the Brotherhood of Steel retreated, while the academy's synths swarmed forward. Everyone invariably walked around Danse's body, and he just stood there silently, like a monument to the death of a warrior, like a piece of ocean.
Lonely reef...
In the past, the knights of the Brotherhood of Steel could rely on their steel-like will to face ten times more enemies and remain unfazed in the face of double attacks. But now, they are running away like lost dogs.
The Bird helicopter took great risks and landed to meet the retreat of the Brotherhood of Steel knights. Fortunately for them, the terrible anti-aircraft missiles did not continue to fire, and the Getter machine guns of the remaining two Tick tanks did not fire at them. Only
The synth troops launched attacks all the time.
Faced with the Academy Synths who were hot on their heels, all eight remaining Starlight Paladins of the Brotherhood of Steel spontaneously stayed behind. Together with them, there were an occasional 10 other knights. With the determination to die, they did not take a single step.
Retreat, face the synths rushing towards you madly, face the densely packed light blue laser beams shining on you, do not retreat even one step!
Bird helicopters loaded with Brotherhood of Steel knights took off and flew towards the Boston Airport. There was also the Pridwin airship, the Brotherhood of Steel's last hope.
"Invincible!!!" A starlight paladin wearing a red-painted T-60E powered armor shouted the slogan. He didn't even find a bunker. He just stood there with the momentum of one man standing in the way.
In the middle of the road, face the attack of hundreds of academy synths!
The laser Gatling in his hand kept firing, and dense red laser beams continued to be emitted, creating a death network of light in front of him! The three laser gun barrels continued to rotate, even with an advanced cooling system, under high-intensity continuous
Under firing, the barrel also began to turn red, twist and crack.
At the same time, the light blue laser beams fired by the academy synths continued to fall on him, leaving dots of burn marks on his power armor. The thick alloy armor of the power armor was burned by the high temperature of the laser.
There were more and more red-hot areas and they began to spread. Flames and billowing smoke began to appear from inside the power armor, but the Starlight Paladin still refused to retreat.
The hot armor and flames burned his body. When he opened his mouth, what came out was not a scream, but, "Invincible!!"
Finally, there was a bang, and the laser Gatling in my hand was overwhelmed and exploded due to overheating!
He threw away the Gatling Laser and opened his hands to face the academy synths who kept charging at him! He didn't even take a step back!
Countless light blue lasers overwhelmed him. The synthetic man showed no emotion and just mechanically aimed at his target and pulled the trigger.
Boom!!! The power armor finally exploded, engulfing the last hero in a sea of fire.
The battlefield began to fall into silence, with only the remains of synthesizers scattered everywhere, as well as the corpses of Knights of the Brotherhood of Steel. These countless wreckage and corpses told the cruelty of this battle.
And Paladin Dance was still standing there, witnessing the beginning of everything, and witnessing the loneliness of everything. For some unknown reason, a drop of clear tears slipped from the corner of his eyes...
Knight sighed and looked in the direction of Bunker Mountain, because he knew that Chunyu Yan was there.
Between Chun Yuyan and his son, between the fledgling volunteer army and the flourishing academy, he chose Chun Yuyan. Because he knew that he did not belong to this era, this world... Because no matter how much he had done before, he chose Chun Yuyan.
, and cannot change the world.
The war... continues every day...
War, war never changes...
However, there is still hope here! This hope is exactly the hope brought by Chun Yuyan! He is not from this world, he comes from a world that has not been destroyed by nuclear war. He can bring guns, ammunition, robots, tanks, he
He knows the NBA, he knows the major leagues, he... holds hope in his hands.
This hope is like a bright light, illuminating Nate's dim life. Traveling through time and space? What a nonsense! But Nate is willing to believe, he is willing to believe in this light, and he is willing to believe in Chun Yuyan!
Therefore, he betrayed the academy, betrayed Dansi, and gradually became a marginalized figure in the Volunteer Army. If Chun Yuyan deceived him, then he would completely lose everything! But... he chose to believe...
…
X4-18 came over. He also had many scars on his body, and his black leather jacket was also broken in many places. He said to Knight, who was still deep in thought: "Just now we discovered that the people from Bunker Mountain were carrying the four synthetic
People are running away."
"Pursue immediately! Recover those 4 synths!!" Knight retracted his thoughts, waved his hand decisively, and ran over with a group of synths.
The recovery operation went surprisingly smoothly. Under Knight's brave fighting, the soldiers escorting the four synths collapsed at the first touch, leaving them behind and fleeing in panic.
At the same time, the coalition soldiers on the periphery, including the two Tick tanks, also began to retreat backwards, returning to the bunker mountain and holding on.
The target's 4 synths were recovered, along with a synth Danse, and the Brotherhood of Steel suffered heavy losses. They suffered more than 40 casualties, including all 10 of the knights brought out this time.
The battle-hardened Starlight Paladin!
As for the college's loss of nearly 1,000 synths, they didn't take it to heart at all.
All I saw was that the academy synths collected the remains of the surrounding synths and useful things on the battlefield, and then teleported them back to the academy with these things.
"Wonderful battle!" After returning to the academy, Knight was greeted with applause from the academy's scientists.
Sean led the scientists to wait in front of the molecular transmitter. He looked happy and clapped his hands vigorously. He said: "From the capital to the federation, no one can cause the Brotherhood of Steel to suffer such a tragic defeat. Even those in the capital
Neither can the Enclave or the Super Mutant Legion. But you did it, Father. I'm proud of you."
Knight smiled, nodded and said, "I just hope that the Federation can become better..."
"Believe me, this is exactly what we are going to do." Sean said with a smile. He seemed to be in a very good mood. Even he, who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, rarely showed a bright smile. "As for the volunteers,
The growth of railway and railway power is indeed worrying, especially since they actually have tanks, which I am sure are not any of the tanks before the war. However, their good days will not last long."
"Actually, after the defeat of the Brotherhood of Steel, I always thought that the railway would become a serious problem for us. Are you sure you can defeat them?" Knight asked.
"In fact, maybe everything in the college now seems so incredible to you. Indeed, we have established such a cutting-edge research center and production line in such a wasteland. But what you may not know is that this
It’s just less than one-tenth of what we planned.” Sean said.
"Less than one tenth? How big a plan do you have? What ability do you have to realize it?" Knight asked.
"Indeed, over the years, we have made many compromises and sacrifices in order to continue to make progress. Because every development of the college will be accompanied by further expansion of the demand for energy, but we have not been able to effectively improve energy.
The dazzling achievements you see now are all based on careful calculation of every kilowatt of energy. However, the shackles of energy experts on us are about to be broken, and the third phase of the project has reached its final stage.
critical time.
Maybe you have guessed, yes, the third phase of the project is a controllable nuclear fusion reactor. When we complete the research and development and construction of this reactor, we will have endless energy! We can expand as much as we want, and we can build countless
Synthetic humans! On that day, the academy will truly become the master of mankind!" Sean said with some excitement.
"So what is missing from this third phase of the project?" Knight asked.
"We are very close to success, but we are still missing the last few steps. There should be two things you can help with. The first thing is that we still lack a key component, a beryllium oscillator.
After a long search, we have determined the location of this equipment, which is in the large nuclear fusion plant. This was a secret base where Rocco Company studied controllable nuclear fusion reactors before the war. After comparing a large number of pre-war documents, we
This is finally confirmed," Sean said.
"What about the second thing?" Knight asked.
"The second thing is a scientist named Wallace. He is a scholar living on the ground. The harsh environment did not affect his ability and knowledge at all. I believe that if he can join the academy,
He will achieve greater things," Sean said.
"Okay, then which one should I do first?" Knight didn't want to think about the academy at all, he just asked.
"Because this bunker station battle caused heavy losses to our synthetics. Although this is only a small loss worth mentioning, we still need time to replenish the synthetics. And there should be automatic defense systems and robots in the large nuclear fusion plant.
There are guards there, so we can wait for a few days. You go and bring Wallace back first, because he is under the protection of the Volunteer Army, so we need to be prepared for the Volunteer Army to come and hinder us." Sean said.
Knight secretly curled his lips in his heart. If it were his choice, then he would definitely get the beryllium oscillator first even if he took the risk, because this is the uncontrollable factor. And Wallace is right there.
, with the protection of the volunteers, he is very safe, and he won’t be able to grow wings and fly, right?
It can only be said that Sean, who made this decision, also exposed his shortcomings as a scientist and civil servant - that is, he thinks too much, lacks decisiveness in everything, and always wants to cover everything.
But Knight didn't want to remind him of this, because according to his and Chun Yuyan's plan, the volunteers would come to the door soon. Of course, the matter of the beryllium oscillator still needed to be discussed with Chun Yuyan. He thought about it and nodded.
The head said: "Okay, without further ado, I will set out to bring Wallace back."
"Please wait a moment, father. I have one more thing to tell you, as well as all the core scientists of the academy present." Sean said suddenly.
Seeing Sean's expression suddenly become extremely serious, Knight also frowned and said, "Just tell me."
…
"Is Elder Maxson in there?" On the Pridwin, Paladin Glade walked to the bridge door and shouted loudly.
"I'm sorry, Elder Maxson doesn't want to see anyone." The brotherhood knight guarding the door shook his head and replied.
"I want to see him now!!" Glader said sharply.
"I'm sorry, this is our duty." The gatekeeper knight still shook his head.
Paladin Glade was so angry that he stepped forward and slapped the knight guarding the gate staggering. He looked at the knight and almost roared: "I just experienced a little setback, and it was because of Danse.
The traitor caused it! As an elder, why did he hide in the bridge and not come out!"
As he spoke, he walked up to the gatekeeper knight, grabbed his ID card, and said loudly: "I'm going in to see Maxon now! In the name of the Brotherhood of Steel! If you want to shoot me, then
Come on!! Remember to hit me on the chest!! There must be no bullet marks on the knight’s back!!!”
Seeing the steadfast Paladin Glade, the knight guarding the gate sighed and said, "Knock me out...it will be regarded as fulfilling your duty."
