The war came as expected.

Outside the military outpost, white smoke billowed from the rocket launcher positions, and rockets galloped away with dazzling flames.

"Direct hit, cover unit 14, confirm kill. Correct coordinates (114, 23), bullet screen coverage, complete."

"Received, the 3 gun positions are firing."

"..."

Standing in the command room, the holographic map collected by Aurora-20 fed back the real situation of the battlefield to Jiang Chen.

The vanguard of the mutants, which had arrived five kilometers away from the water plant, was beaten so hard that they couldn't find their way under the cover of the NAC's rockets and the assault of the exoskeleton soldiers.

However, these mutants don't know what fear is by nature.

The NAC's air raid on the production base of the FEV virus obviously angered these mutants.

The Gelu tribe once again mobilized a corps of 5,000 people, trucks equipped with towed artillery, blasting guns, and pickup trucks with modified steel shells and vehicle-mounted machine guns, and marched towards the NAC outpost.

This advance force included the most powerful warriors of the Gelu tribe. Including lead mutants with power hammers, machine gunners in steel plate armor, and mutant dogs with nuclear bombs on their backs.

However, the complete annihilation of the vanguard made the commander of the mutants calm down a little. He did not call for soldiers to rush forward, but formed a loose formation according to the city's terrain, and sent slaves and mutant warlords to attack the NAC outpost. Several tentative attacks were made, but all failed.

For some reason, the NAC didn't show its full strength at the beginning, so that the commander of the mutants had the illusion that the two sides were evenly matched.

However, the empire did not have this illusion, and the unmutated brains of humans are obviously much smarter than mutants.

The empire also mobilized two corps, with a total of 10,000 troops, deployed along the outskirts of Hongcheng. This is almost half of the empire's property, and it is the first time such a large-scale military operation has been carried out in Hongcheng.

But compared to the mindless advances of mutants. Imperial soldiers are much more cautious. Also a lot more cunning.

They built fortifications on the edge of the suburbs, reinforced abandoned buildings with steel bars,

Dig trenches to divide the battlefield, and use holes to connect buildings.

have to say. This method of tactics is very effective in dealing with heavy firepower, and it is also very suitable for the rogue combat style of the Marauder.

From the beginning. They showed a defensive posture.

However, Jiang Chen didn't care about the empire's actions. From the beginning, he didn't intend to deal with the empire by suppressing firepower.

A "Fireball-1" shot costs 100 credits. According to the exchange rate of the Sixth Street District, it is about 500 points converted into sub-crystals. More than two thousand rockets were thrown out. It looks like setting off fireworks, but it is actually throwing money.

For the empire, there is no need to burn such money.

Want to tear down this building. You only need to use your brains on the floor tiles that they stepped on and dismissed, and there is no need to fight with those mobs.

...

Tavern in the imperial capital. A few rare bottles of good wine lay on rotting wooden tables.

The two sat opposite each other, drinking in an open loop.

"In my opinion, adding the population base to the word power is a hooligan in itself." After drinking too much, the mouth of the mercenary wearing a fur cap also opened up, and under Zhao Dongbao's intentional guidance, he began to slur Choose to speak nonsense.

On the seventh day after arriving in the imperial capital, Zhao Dongbao found the mercenary who brought him in again, and offered to buy him a drink.

Alcohol is a good thing, it can numb the tense nerves, and no one in the wasteland doesn't like it.

At the wine table, Zhao Dongbao also successfully found out his name and details.

Xiao Hu, a mercenary active between Hongcheng and Wushi, his life is basically running with caravans on both sides, living a poor life where he is always drunk.

This kind of person has a lot of cleverness, but no brains, so it is very convenient to use.

"Oh?" Zhao Dongbao took a sip of the wine in his glass and looked at him with a smile, "Your insight is very unique."

Feeling a little overjoyed by the praise, Xiao Hu grinned and said, "The people here are a bit weird. Many rookies who come here for the first time don't understand the situation. Why mutants are willing to live in harmony with humans."

The smile on Zhao Dongbao's face deepened, and he said softly, "I would like to hear more about it."

After finishing speaking, he waved to the bartender beside him, signaling him to have two more glasses.

"You can find that, except for the poor ghosts in the slums, people here are doing well. But people are not happy...Of course, I mean those who live here often, not like me who are looking for fun homeless."

As he spoke, a mysterious and naive smile appeared on Xiao Hu's drunken face, and he approached Zhao Dongbao, "Do you want to know why?"

"Of course." Zhao Dongbao said with a smile.

"They have a strange set of equality standards. It's that the few get more privileges, and the majority get less power, and they call it fairness...fairness on a group basis."

"I'm surprised... isn't the emperor a human?"

"It's the person who cuts the cake, not the one who pancakes." Xiao Hu burped, drank another glass, and said without hesitation, "The emperor is elected by the Senate, you can count on them to eat it." Cake? Don’t dream, even if two walls of this gymnasium collapsed and mutants killed a few humans, they would still be big fish and big meat... Thanks to NAC’s caravan, they couldn’t afford it even if they had money.”

Talking about the emperor and the Senate in public, the bartender and the people around him have already turned their attention. Many people who were afraid of getting into trouble had already got up and left their seats. At this time, a mutant who had just returned from hunting sat on the empty seat at the next table and ordered a bottle of low-quality wine from the bartender.

Zhao Dongbao, who was sitting opposite him, laughed out loud, glanced at the dumbfounded mutant calmly, shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about the emperor. I want to hear what you think of those...well, the privileged evaluation of."

"No comments, those lazy bastards can't do anything except raise mutant slaves who don't dare to resist. I heard that the FEV virus will turn the brain into a paste? Hehe, it's not their fault. And that elder of the Gelug tribe, hey? Does anyone worship cancer patients with tumors on their backs—"

Snapped--!

A loud slap interrupted him, sending him flying out of the door together with a few white teeth.

At some point, Zhao Dongbao, who was sitting opposite him, had disappeared.

Xiao Hu, who was self-consciously babbling at the wine bottle, his voice grew louder and louder, reaching the ears of the mutant man. The big man named Andy Lai immediately slapped the table and stood up. With a shake of his hand, he slapped him on the head.

The back touched the cold concrete floor. Xiao Hu woke up from the wine immediately, and barely propped himself up from the ground, his bruised face was immediately covered with fear.

The elder is the supreme leader of the mutants, and also the god in the hearts of every Gelug tribe mutant.

Don't call it an insult. Even talking about it in public would be considered disrespectful by mutants.

"No. No, I, I'm just drunk..."

Xiao Hu, who fell on the ground, had no time to treat the wound. While shuffling back in the street, he tremblingly looked at the strong mutant man walking towards him.

Not to mention he didn't have a gun with him. Even if he did, he wouldn't dare to shoot the mutants here. The mutants killed him and locked him up for a few days at most, and if he killed the mutants. But they will be taken as slaves to mutants.

This is simply more terrible than the death penalty.

Andy Lai grinned grinningly, and stepped out of the hotel's threshold with his fists clenched. Go to the human who fell on the ground.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the mutant stepped on the mercenary's body and raised his fist. Hit the mercenary in the face.

Click——

Xiao Hu seemed to hear the sound of the bridge of his nose breaking, but his head was knocked dizzy, and he couldn't even scream.

After a few punches, the fist reached the flesh, and the dark green fist was stained with blood.

"Stop hitting him, he's about to die." Someone whispered, but when he met the fierce gaze, he immediately withdrew his gaze.

"Anyone who dares to be disrespectful to the elders is disrespectful to the Gelug tribe! Anyone who is disrespectful to the Gelug tribe will die!" Bathed in those eyes of hatred and cowardice, Andy Lai rode on Xiao Hu's body, grinning Laughing wildly, waving his thick fists.

"Aww!" The mutants applauded, cheering for this warrior.

Maybe they didn't really respect that elder, they just instinctively yearned for violence and killing. And people's fearful eyes in the face of them have encouraged their extremes.

The guards came to Andy Lai, but Andy Lai was not afraid.

Even if he beat this human being to death in the street, he would only stay in prison for a while, and no jailer would dare to treat him unfairly. Perhaps it won't be long before the centurion of the Gelu tribe will negotiate with the bureaucrats of the empire and let them release them.

Amber pupils swept across the crowd, he bared his teeth majestically, and opened and closed two words with his ugly mouth.

"coward!"

Until the miserable-looking mercenary completely stopped breathing, no one stepped forward to stop his atrocities.

But at this moment, his expression froze on his face.

His eyes met a muzzle hidden in the crowd.

And a human smile.

boom--!

Gunfire rang out, overshadowing the noise of the market.

In an instant, piercing screams sounded.

"Killed!"

Andy Lai fell in a pool of blood, his wide eyes filled with disbelief. He couldn't believe that he would die in the empire, and it was also the capital of the empire.

The guards looked around helplessly, trying to find out where the shooter was, but it was futile to face the vast crowd. Angry mutants pushed and beat innocent people, trying to identify the shooter.

Following the chaotic crowd, Zhao Dongbao had disappeared around the corner of the market.

The dead Andy Lai will never know that his death has already planted the seeds of disaster for the collapse of this empire.

And the same scene is happening in every corner of the empire.
