Chapter 799 Who is afraid of whom?

D had already expected that the new United States would extend an olive branch to him.

The reason is very simple. As a modern feudal religious country, the United States has always been a group of religious lunatics. The so-called "Chosen Nation" and "People of God" are one of the foundations of the United States. Since the end of the Unification War, President Miles has always wanted to completely reunify the United States.

  After all, the two sides were evenly matched in the previous unification war. Later, Arasaka intervened to give both sides a step up. Finally, the New United States and the Free State signed an agreement. However, the Free State only joined the New United States in name only and did not truly recognize the New United States.

 For President Miles, if she can be recognized by D, then as a religious country, this is equivalent to being recognized by God, and then it will not be a problem for the new United States to completely reunify.

For D, this is actually a good choice. As long as he joins forces with Miles to enhance the strength of New America, he can in turn force the mastermind behind the scenes to show up.

However, why?

Duanmu Huaike has never liked the United States, or in other words, he has always had feelings of disgust and contempt for the United States. Stupid, arrogant, and barbaric - the sentence in Zizhi Tongjian, "Awe of power but not moral, small courtesy but no great justice" is the best portrayal of the United States.

 You want him to help the United States unify?

 Just kidding, he wishes the United States would follow in the footsteps of the Soviet Union.

  So D directly rejected the request of the leader of the new United States. Just kidding, the new United States is nothing. President Miles dared to show up, so he took care of her so that even her mother did not recognize her.

 In this regard, D would rather choose the more troublesome route than choose the new United States to enhance its influence in this world.

 As D thought, for Miles, this was an intolerable failure.

"boom!"

Looking at the news reports in front of him, President Miles punched the table hard, his face livid.

In fact, President Miles really hopes to prove himself by recovering Night City. After all, only Night City is still a free city-state. If she can take back Night City, it means that she has completely and essentially completed the reunification of the new United States, not to mention that the person in charge of Night City is still a suspected angel. If she can get her support, then Miles His re-election is guaranteed!

Originally, Miles thought that the other party should choose to cooperate with the New United States. After all, he only wanted a name. If it was not possible, he could sign an autonomy treaty with Night City. Just like the Free State, as long as Night City is willing to return to the New United States, it can be allowed to have certain autonomy. In Miles' view, this is a way to get the best of both worlds.

But President Miles didn't expect that the other party didn't even think about it, and just slapped away the olive branch he handed over!

 Not only that... what follows is the part that makes Miles the most angry.

“It really amazes me…as far as I know, the new America has always lived out God’s values…”

 “That’s just a bunch of heretics.”

 However, before the reporter finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by D.

"People kill each other, massacre, and occupy the land. This is their own business. However, they insist on talking about God's will - so what? You mean, the **** we serve is a **** who desires to kill, Does plunder and massacre exist? Evil heretics vent their desires, but they want to beautify their sins in the name of God. This country itself is a den of heresy built on blasphemy against God! It should not exist at all!"

Yes, for Miles, this passage has a greater impact on the new United States than a direct nuclear attack.

After all, when the colonists went to America, they described it as a city on a hill. They believed that this was a blessing given to their people by God. God guided their people to build a country in the New World that was completely different from the old world. Blessed country.

However, now, God's messenger, an angel, pointed his nose directly and scolded them that everything they did was blasphemous for their own selfish purposes, and without hesitation labeled them as heretics - for the citizens of the new United States , which is almost equivalent to directly uprooting the values ​​​​they have always believed in.

 What a city on a mountain, it is simply a den of heresy!

Because the news was broadcast live around the world, the new United States almost became a joke around the world for a while, and disputes arose within the new United States. Some people committed suicide in despair, some protested against the government, and some congressmen even proposed a bill to eliminate sins. In the end, The best way is to completely disband New America!

 In just one day, President Miles fell from heaven to hell. Don't talk about reunifying the new United States, or it might be disintegrated directly!

Especially on the Free State side, they have even begun to make some moves to try to separate again - although generally speaking, it is somewhat unethical to tear up the signed contract. But the Free State now has a very good excuse. After all, the angels said so, and we are all devout believers, so naturally we must follow God's will.

The messenger of God has said that this country should not exist, so everyone should get together and disperse.

 Of course Miles disagrees.

 You have worked hard for more than ten years, but you want to disband with just one word?

Since you don’t give me face, don’t blame me for taking action!

Thinking of this, Miles's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and then he opened the communication.

 “Get me military technology!”

Of course I don’t think that the new United States will surrender just because of one of my own words. The so-called religious belief is not just this thing. When it is useful, people use it as a fig leaf, but when it is no longer useful, they just throw it away. Is it so smooth to master Night City because the people here are full of devout religious believers?

Of course not, it must be because my fist holds the power of life and death over them.

 So from a certain perspective, humans are the most realistic race, which is why humans can continue to this day. If he really said a word and they would apologize and commit suicide - well, that would be much more convenient.

 It’s a pity that there is no such good thing in the world.

As expected, just a few days after his interview, President Miles gave a speech, claiming that the freedom agreement signed with Night City was signed with Arasaka. But now that Arasaka has gone bankrupt, according to the agreement, Night City will also return to New America. At the same time, she stated that she will send military technology to take over Night City!

Of course, everyone knows what it means to accept it.

 The reporter also asked Miles about the news about Night City's current change of hands, and the angels who currently rule Night City...

 “That’s not an angel at all.”

 President Miles gave a direct answer.

"According to the research and judgment of our scholars, it is just a kind of existence similar to a prosthetic creature. It is not something that can put two wings on itself and represent the gods as it pleases. We will make her realize this!"

 “She’s in a hurry. She’s in a hurry.”

Looking at Miles’ serious expression on the TV, D chuckled.

  【This is also in line with our prediction】

“Yes, after all, after being president for ten years, who would regard her as a fool? And from their point of view, it’s true, isn’t it?”

As D said, there are no ghosts or monsters in this world. If an angel suddenly appears, even if those brainwashed religious fools will believe it, others will not believe it either. Although D has previously shown to the public that he can fly into the sky or ignore bullet attacks, from a scientific perspective, this is not completely unexplainable.

For example, flying into the sky may be some kind of anti-gravity system, and ignoring bullets may be optical camouflage or some kind of special barrier.

 In short, with the technology in this world, if you want to explain it, everyone can still explain it.

 After all, religious superstition originally attributed all things that cannot be explained to gods. Once these things can be explained, superstition will naturally be eliminated.

On the other hand, as long as you can do something they can't explain, your position as the messenger of God will be secure.

 “Lord Angel.”

 While D was thinking, he saw someone pushing the door open and entering with a serious look on his face.

"What's up?"

“According to reports from the checkpoints, private armed forces with military technology were found fifteen kilometers outside the border of Night City, and they demanded to take over Night City!”

I have to say that Miles moved very quickly.

 “I know, leave it to me.”

D said, then stood up and turned to the balcony. She opened the window and looked out at the busy traffic and the bustling city.

The white wings spread out.

 "Sir, do you need the Guards of Night City..."

   “There’s no need.”    Faced with the secretary’s question, D shook his head.

“I can handle this mere military technology alone.”

 After saying this, the next moment I saw D jump into the air, turned into a flash of light, flew into the air at a speed comparable to a supersonic fighter, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

 The wind howled.

D lowered his head and stared at the Gobi and desert in front of him. At the end of the horizon, he saw a dark army lined up neatly. In front were nearly a hundred heavy armored vehicles, and behind were Demon Lizard tanks and missile vehicles, as well as armed helicopters. and the floating car, put on a quite shocking posture. And in front of the checkpoint not far in front of them, the soldiers responsible for guarding the checkpoint...

Uh...all ran away?

This is running too fast.

Looking at the empty checkpoint with almost no one around, D rolled her eyes silently, then she changed direction and slowly landed in front of the private armed forces of Military Technology.

 Seeing D falling from the sky, the soldiers were also quite surprised and nervous. They clenched their weapons, and the black muzzle was also pointed at the angel girl.

  Sigh... As expected, Charm is still not good at this aspect.

 Looking at the soldiers who were a little shaken but still insisted on fighting with him, D sighed silently. Charisma is indeed very useful in accepting tasks, getting rewards, or persuading. But in face-to-face battles, the effect of charm is actually not obvious, especially when fighting against large armies. The so-called Daji's overwhelming power is just an exaggerated metaphor. The fact is that even with 99 points of charm, D can't just smile. Let these soldiers rebel directly.

On the contrary, the fear aura is more useful at this time. If Duanmu Huai's body were to appear, these people would be paralyzed with fear, and there would be no need to think about any combat confrontation.

However, this does not mean that she can't fight - you know, the players here are also full-level players, and they can fight against the Chaos Demon Army. It's just a private armed force? Isn't this courting death?

“We are military technology. According to the provisions of the Unification Treaty, we are ordered to come and take over Night City. We must immediately lay down our weapons and surrender!”

Soon, the roar of the military technology commander came from the loudspeaker, and hearing the other party's roar, D just raised his eyebrows.

“Accept? This is my city, and even a mere blasphemer dares to act wild here?”

 “Put down your weapons immediately, otherwise, we will shoot!”

However, the other party obviously did not intend to listen to what D said. Following the order, the soldiers soon raised their weapons and aimed at the girl in front of them.

 “Foolish mortal.”

At this moment, D also smiled. She spread her wings and flew into the air again, looking down at the people on the ground.

“You want to fight against the gods, you really don’t want to live or die! In that case, then I will let you feel the power of the gods!”

"coming!"

 Hearing D's answer, the commander of Military Technology's expression changed slightly, and he tightened his grip on the walkie-talkie in his hand.

“Attention everyone, start the reflection wave interference!”

Following the commander's words, a radar vehicle soon emitted strange fluctuations, shrouding the entire military technology unit.

Since military technology dares to come, of course they are not here to die. They have also secretly studied D's combat. In their opinion, although D's own combat effectiveness is very strong, it is not so powerful that it cannot resist. However, the ability the other party possesses to invade and interfere with implants and weapons at will is her biggest threat.

Therefore, military technology has also come up with a way, which is to directly use interference waves to completely block all external manipulations. Although we don’t know how the other party does it, it is probably done by hackers. In this case, as long as the communication port is locked or blocked , you can avoid the outcome of being manipulated by the other party!

I have to say that the idea of ​​​​military technology is good - provided that D follows their script.

 However, it is a pity that D did not intend to follow their script.

At this moment, she is going to show her powerful strength as a high-level player!

 Summon summons, the gate to heaven!

As a thought flashed in D's mind, the next moment, dazzling light fell from the sky. Then, everyone was surprised to see a pure white door and castle exuding sacred light emerging from the thick clouds and appearing in D. behind.

"what is that??"

 Looking at this scene, all the soldiers widened their eyes in surprise, unable to believe what they saw.

  But for D, this is just the beginning.

 【Chant: Twin Flames】

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　]

 【Chant: The Monuments of the Holy Beasts】

 【Chant: The Baptism of the Egret】

 【Chant: Immaculate Hymn】

Soul cards flashed from D's fingertips one after another, and then, a tiger as big as a tank, with its whole body burning with flames, appeared out of thin air. With a shocking roar, the white-winged dragon flew out of the clouds. , a group of white falcons almost the size of a helicopter roared down and hovered over the battlefield.

 “This, what is this?”

"What exactly is this?"

 Looking at everything that was incomprehensible in front of them, the soldiers of military technology finally panicked.

"Is this some kind of illusion? Did I hallucinate from watching too much Super Dream?"

“Impossible, why does such a thing exist in this world???”

 “Everyone stay calm!”

Seeing that his men began to panic, the commander also hurriedly roared.

“Don’t be afraid, they are just a bunch of wild beasts, not worth mentioning at all, as long as we...”

However, before the commander could finish speaking, he saw D raising her right hand, and another soul card emerged from her fingers.

 【Chant: Ancient Guardian】

ˆ “——————”

 The earth began to tremble.

The next moment, the ground collapsed, and everyone stared with wide eyes, watching a steel giant dozens of meters tall emerge from the ground. The thick armor was assembled out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a huge steel knight. It held a giant sword and stared coldly at the military technology vehicles and plastic villain-like soldiers at its feet that looked about the size of toys.

"This this………"

Seeing this scene, the commander of Military Technology's mind went blank. He didn't even know how to react. At the same time, D had already raised his hand, pointed at the target in front of him, and then issued an order.

 “Destroy them.”

 The next moment, the brutal battle begins.
