Adam's debt collection work went smoothly today. He felt that he was too easy to talk to before. The small bureaucrats on the opposite side just kept using things like "the form is not filled out in standard" and "the identity must be presented" to make excuses him. This time, he brought a team of twenty fully armed combatants. It turns out that the arrogance of the three major casinos is only useful when the other party looks very easy to talk to. Without the support of the security robot, a whole team of men in black uniforms and laser rifles were enough to make them humble.

Several NR military police pointed and looked at the Black Crusade's neat military uniform and energy weapons in good condition with envy. Due to the agreement signed with House, NR personnel were forbidden to enter the gambling city. In addition to the internal NR embassy staff and the railway station, most of the soldiers here were given a salary to try the feeling of being intoxicated. The corruption and luxurious life in the gambling city was like a paradise compared to the rough storm in the desert outside.

Adam personally feels that New Vegas is gradually corroding these soldiers who are far away from their hometown. New Vegas looks like the United States in Robert House's old dream. He tries his best to make it as charming as the gold-selling cave before the nuclear war, but ignores the reality that this land is no longer the United States before the war. New Vegas, the shining pearl in the Mojave Desert, is so beautiful and incompatible.

Adapt to this wasteland world, or be swallowed up by this wasteland world. This is the reality in the wind and sand. Adam thinks so. Even Robert House cannot change this world.

But he might be able.

When the incident happened, he was resting by the fountain with the Black Cross troops carrying several boxes of NR currencies, considering morale issues. He was considering whether to give his troops the freedom to enter New Vegas for entertainment. He knew that someone had sneaked in, and Robert House was probably acquiescing to such a thing, just like corrupting those NR troops. The members of these Black Cross caravans were gradually accepting... or identifying with the city.

Although it would not betrayal, Adam believed that this would not be beneficial to some of the military plans they might have in the future. Many members of the Black Cross were former bandits, robbers, and slave traders. The people who participated in the expedition this time were among the more loyal, but not 100% credible.

Before this, Adam used a belief and his own personal charm to control the group, but he did not blindly believe that this influence could continue without any wear and tear. The reality is the most harshest craftsmen in the world, and those idealistic beliefs will be filed by the craftsman with a file, even a man with ambition to change the wasteland. He will solemnly reconsider his employment intention after a night of march in the desert.

"What is that? What's wrong with them?"

Some subordinates pointed to several security robots in the distance in confusion.

Adam raised his eyelids and looked over. He felt that these security robots seemed to be a little different from what they were on weekdays. To be precise, the logo on their display screen changed. He simply observed for a while and thought that this might be a large-scale upgrade of some kind of operating system. With people whispering, these upgraded security robots walked by in groups on the street, and they looked more fierce than usual... much colder.

"Damn." Adam blinked, realizing that something happened to Lucky 38.

Several security robots "walked" towards the team, and the small wheels at the bottom creaked as they rolled on the ground.

[It is prohibited to carry weapons of destruction in the city. Please leave immediately.]

"We are allies of Mr. Robert House, and we have permission to carry weapons in the city." Adam stood up and negotiated with the robot, but his charm didn't work for these iron guys who had very rigid communication procedures.

[It is prohibited to carry weapons of destruction in the city. Please leave immediately. If you refuse, we will take measures to expel them by force.]

"Okay. Let's leave now." Adam raised his hand, signaling that he had no malice, and then quickly evacuated the scene with a small army of indignation. The members of the Black Crusade, who had been through the battle formation, did not think that they were not the opponent of some robots. However, when encountering battles in such an open area, simple and rough firepower exchange will inevitably bring huge casualties to their side. Destroying a few robots may be just a loss to the other side, and dying a few people is an irreparable loss for the Black Crusade, which is insufficiently equipped.

"I don't know what happened!" When he returned to the base of Liberty City, Cass came up and paced around the office anxiously. "NR people suddenly shrank back. This afternoon, all the soldiers on holiday were summoned back to the camp, causing chaos on the streets for a while. The officials who were working on engineering cooperation projects with us suddenly closed down and disappeared. Did they hear any rumors that were unfavorable to us?"

"They don't know that the people in Lucky 38 have been replaced. They are staring at the group of Romans on the other side." Su Jing opened the door and walked straight in. Several people smelled a faint smell of blood on him. "The Caesar's camp opposite has been in chaos. They probably want to take the opportunity to call and take advantage of it."

"There is chaos in Caesar's military camp? What's going on?"

"If I hadn't made any mistakes, Caesar would have died." Su Jing shook his sleeves. Although he did not pay special attention to the old man's life and death, after he had to make trouble, the old man who was already dying might have passed away. This can explain why the troops on the other side of the Colorado River suddenly became much stiffer, and the fierce spirit of the Romans even retreated for a while and sent the control area that had been exchanged for a large amount of blood back to nr.

"What did you do?"

"It's not me." Su Jing felt that there was no need to take on himself what he had never done, but looking at the eyes of the two supervisors, they were clearly conveying the meaning of "It must be your good thing again."

"The problem now is what is the new owner in Lucky 38 Tower changing his mind." Su Jing rubbed his nose, "She didn't have any big moves. She probably wanted to wait for Caesar's army to fight to the death and then come out to clear up all the riots. After all, although the robot troops are powerful, they are not invincible. Especially now, after she seriously injured Caesar, she is probably creating a situation where both sides... have to fight. NR doesn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop; and the people of the Spirit Rome must also fight hard to reintegrate internal military strength and make the other party understand that they are not vegetarian."

The woman, known as "Eve", didn't think too much at this time. To be precise, for the first time in a long time, she slept so peacefully. I don't know who was originally prepared for. Robert House, who had long been a rotten corpse in the nutritional cabin, may not be able to enjoy her luxurious living room, and Lucky 38, who has never stepped into, obviously did not wait for a wealthy tenant who could afford the rent. However, the hard-working robot still cleaned and organized the presidential suite for hundreds of years until a guest checked in.

Eve had never slept with such a soft and smooth bed. Even when she was young, she didn't have it in Caesar's barracks. She slept for a long time in one breath, as if she wanted to make up for the rest that she had owed for the first half of her life. She was fascinated by the feeling of her body sinking into the soft mattress, a gentle soothing she had never obtained in the wasteland.

"...No wonder he wanted to build this city like the United States before."

After waking up, Eve lay on the bed and muttered to herself, "Before the war, everyone has the opportunity to live this kind of life. It's really... an unimaginable world."

The postman is not a god. She is just a mortal with extraordinary abilities. After entering Lucky 38 and seizing control, she briefly indulged in a relaxed and comfortable life for a few days. She enjoyed Robert House's art collection, enjoyed food that might exceed her shelf life, wore soft pajamas and walked around every floor, patrolling her territory, or tried her best in the slot machines in the casino on the first floor. She was like a child who had cherished toys, playing with this private refuge that retained the reserve and taste of the pre-war rich man.

Then she had to face the reality again. That was that she needed to use that robot unit to change the world.

She later discovered that just when she was addicted to the decadent life of the old era, two small-scale contacts and the Caesar Legion had broken out. Both sides had casualties, but the optimistic expectations of NR trying to eliminate the entire Caesar Barracks' main combat troops in the East Coast were already exposed by reality.

Even though the morale of the army was already disintegrating and the command was chaotic, the brave army soldiers were still able to launch a powerful counterattack. In the process of recapturing Nelson's camp, one of the West Bank bases, the NR army only captured it after paying a huge casualty price. However, they later found that it was an empty place. Long before the attack began, the legion had abandoned the guards, leaving only an empty shell. On the contrary, the NR army suffered heavy casualties in the trap and the cold gun during the conquest.

However, for the NR troops that were unbeaten for a long time, seizing Nelson's barracks was a powerful strategic move, which represented a certain weakness and recession displayed by the other party. Newspapers, magazines and official public opinion described this battle as "an overwhelming offensive with a huge gap between the two sides, we are winning!", and ignored the casualties and detailed analysis reports. The commander of the battle was reported and praised in the internal system. There is a very accurate narrative saying that the commander would be awarded the medal by President Kimball himself.

General Lee Oliver, who was blinded by victory, launched a rash attack despite the opposition of the officers. However, this attack on the Hoover Dam defense line was tempted by the opponent by clever tricks and then severely attacked. The Caesar's legion on the other side seemed to have stabilized from the civil strife and had a new and highly authoritative military commander.

If the brave and fearless Rangers had not rushed to the rescue, the nearly 1,000 assault force would probably have been eaten by the legion troops in one breath. Even if the Rangers tried their best, the NR troops that fell into the death siege finally broke through successfully, and the final statistics showed that there were more than 300 casualties. In this failed military operation named "Sandstorm", many reports mentioned the witnessed commander of the legion, a terrifying monster who led the way in battle. It is said that he had a giant physique and invulnerable heavy armor, easily tore up any defense line and used a simple giant machete to slash everything that blocked him into pieces.

Someone heard the members of the army call this terrifying enemy, so the officers of NR learned this name:

"Oriental Beast" Ranius.

The officers generally expressed doubts about the Rangers' report, because the report claimed that the other party still cut two Rangers with a huge blade after taking three 50-caliber heavy anti-equipment ammunition and more than a dozen large-caliber revolvers with a huge blade. From common sense, this is completely nonsense. It is impossible for such a powerful human being to exist, but the heavy armor and the powerful ** that can support the heavy armor made all the NR soldiers who believed in this report frightened.

General Lee Oliver's current position is in jeopardy. The military commander of the Mohavi region, which has more politicians than military aura, urgently needs a victory to save his future. President Kimball behind him even demands that he must win a victory at any cost to ensure his next election. After a sudden heavy blow, the form suddenly turned upside down. This time, the legion on the other side of the river was ready to move, wanting to rush over when the morale of the NR troops was sluggish and use overwhelming combat power to solve this difficult opponent.

Although the military strength of the two sides is not much different, the commander's ability is a world of difference. General Oliver's command talent is incomparable to the war beast opposite, and the NR soldiers can only put their confidence in the commander of McAllen Camp and the legendary Ranger commander Sergeant Hanlong, who believes that these heroes can save Mohavi again.

Eve noticed a detail.

When the Rangers rushed to assist the assault forces, they were responding to a...civilian organization.

Black Cross Caravan?

She read the reports carefully, claiming that while the Rangers covered the defeated soldiers to retreat, the Black Cross Caravan's escort robots also participated in defense at the Hoover Dam and repelled the relentless Caesar army. The origin and combat effectiveness of these combat robots aroused her interest. (To be continued)
