Chapter 316 Battle for Night City

In addition to their personal force, each of these mechanical sages is a top hacker master.

They can release extremely powerful EMP energy with just a flick of their fingers, easily killing large groups of enemies.

Moreover, due to their actions, the explosion of the Contao Power Station was triggered, causing a large-scale power outage in half of Night City.

It can be said that in order to combat the Mechanicus, Military Technology has tried every means to put all the related crimes on the Mechanicus.

However, it must be admitted that they actually guessed the truth of the matter by accident this time.

Of course, the real executor is actually V, but V is just acting according to Xiao's instructions after all.

Therefore, it is reasonable to put the blame on the Mechanicus.

However, in the face of the criticism and condemnation of New America, the Mechanicus still behaved indifferently. They did not care about other people's opinions at all.

For those accusations from the outside world, they have always adhered to the three principles of not caring, not explaining, and not being responsible.

Always maintaining an attitude of "you can scold me, I'll do my thing",

This attitude of disregard made the New American President Miles extremely angry.

She even said that she would go to Night City in person to negotiate with the Pope. If the negotiations failed, she would disarm the Mechanicus even if she had to start a war.

At the same time, she repeatedly emphasized that there can only be one regime on the American continent, that is, the New American government, and she would never tolerate any other forces to make different voices on this land.

However, the development of things was beyond everyone's expectations.

Just two and a half hours ago, when Miles' plane had just arrived near the airspace of Night City, it was suddenly hit by a missile and fell directly into Dog Town.

Because Colonel Hansen excluded all outsiders, and at each entrance of Dog Town, there were a large number of nether hounds and checkpoints guarding day and night.

If the army was not sent out, it would be impossible to forcefully break into Dog Town, so that even to this day, it is still a no-man's land.

As a result, the military technology personnel in Night City had no way to rescue him.

But in fact, even within the military technology, there were many people who wanted Miles dead.

After all, there can only be one leader, and they can only take over if the predecessor dies.

This caused Miles to be trapped in Dog Town and unable to escape.

And the fact that President Miles was "killed" on the way to Night City was like a heavy bomb that directly detonated the entire New America.

Under the special propaganda of military technology, the people of New America were excited and publicly denounced the Mechanicus for doing things without martial ethics.

This time, even the Mechanicus, who had always been indifferent to worldly affairs, could no longer continue to pretend to be dead.

The mechanical priests of the diplomatic department had to stand up and speak strongly, and strongly stated that this matter had nothing to do with the Mechanicus, and everything was done by Hansen in Dog Town.

But the problem is that Xiao, the founder of the Universal Group behind the Mechanicus, made his fortune with the help of Hansen.

The whole world knows that the two are "good brothers" wearing the same pants.

Even when the Mechanicus occupied Taiping State, they admitted that Dog Town was the territory of Colonel Hansen and had never set foot here.

Who would believe that the Mechanicus was not behind this?

Therefore, the new US government contacted the Pope as soon as possible.

Asked Lana to release the people, otherwise they would go to war and carry out a full-scale encirclement and suppression of Mechanicus believers in the Americas!

But in fact, this matter has nothing to do with the Mechanicus. The Mechanicus is simply the scapegoat behind the scenes.

This incident directly aroused the anger of the Pope. He ordered Odson to lead the Punishment Court to investigate the truth. Anyone who blocked it would be killed without mercy!

When Xiao saw this, he was also a little confused.

He has always been calculating others and letting others take the blame. Unexpectedly, the situation changed and he would also be calculated and blamed.

Perhaps this is also the price of power after surfacing.

A tall tree attracts the wind. You never know how many people are hiding in the dark and what kind of conspiracy they are carrying out.

This kind of thing can only be prevented, but there is no way to cure it.

Even if the person who rules the country is a top saint and wants everyone to live a good life, there will still be people who are dissatisfied and there will still be resistance.

Some things are always inevitable.

As for the reason why Miles came to Night City, she was not here to negotiate at all. Her purpose was to clean up her own ass.

According to the plot of the game, her subordinate Lark has a lot of evidence of her crimes.

Once Lark is caught by someone with ulterior motives, Miles will inevitably be driven out of power by her political opponents. Therefore, even if she knows that this is a trap, she has to come to Night City and kill Lark with her own hands.

According to the plot of the game, her subordinate Lark has a lot of indisputable evidence of her crimes.

If Lark unfortunately falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, then there is no doubt that Miles will be forced to step down and be ruthlessly expelled from the stage of power by political opponents.

Therefore, even though she knew that this might be a carefully laid trap, she had no choice but to venture into Night City and personally eliminate the Lark, this thorn in her side.

Even further, through Miles' in-depth analysis of the entire storyline of "Cyberpunk 2077", it can be found that the main plot of the story is actually a game in which three forces use V as a chess piece to start a fierce competition.

The game has nine endings on the surface. If we put aside the two key protagonists V and Johnny for the time being, and only look at it from the perspective of the biggest beneficiary behind each ending, we will find that the game actually has only three endings.

These three endings correspond to the victory of three different forces.

Except for the extremely regrettable ending of V's self-destruction,

Among the remaining eight endings, the winner of the demon ending is Arasaka Corporation.

In the demon ending, Saburo Arasaka successfully obtains immortality, and his power is at its peak, and he is feared by all.

Even Miles, the president of the new United States of America, has to compromise with Arasaka Corporation in some aspects and cooperate in exchange for peace.

As for the Star Ending and the Sun Ending, the Yeshi Group, which represents the roaming AI, becomes the winner and the ruler of Night City.

In this ending, Arasaka's core technology, the Mikoshi, is broken by Ultra, and all the soul AI stored in it are eaten by Ultra. Ultra becomes the biggest winner as the beneficiary.
