From the moment it was born, the Brotherhood of Steel was a controversial organization.

This organization is cold, stubborn, arrogant, and self-sufficient, clinging to old tenets and refusing to change.

Ten years ago, the Eastern Brotherhood was a heresy for the original Brotherhood of Steel, led by Elder Lyons with the idea of protecting the wastelanders from super mutants and other forms of persecution, rather than occupying and protecting technology, but such an overly decent act ended up being nothing more than a castle in the air without a foundation.

After the completion of the Clean Water Project, Elder Lyons died of illness, and his daughter Sarah was killed in a military campaign against the Enclave shortly afterward, and the Eastern Brotherhood, which had lost its leader, fell into strife again, and the successive leaders were still unable to recover until Arthur Maxson, the direct descendant of the founder of the Brotherhood, took the throne and barely stabilized the situation.

The youngest elder in the history of the Brotherhood, the leader who rose to the throne at the age of sixteen has demonstrated his ability to successfully reunite the divided Eastern Brotherhood, while the Lyons father and daughter have been heavily influenced by the Lyons father and daughter, while reclaiming the tenets of the traditional Brotherhood - stopping the misuse of technology, and sending soldiers to eliminate the threat of the wasteland and provide protection for its inhabitants.

With this young elder with the goal of exterminating the academy, leading the elite of the Brotherhood to the land of Boston, a big war with the academy seems inevitable, but the existence of several variables in Zhang Lin may bring the outcome of this matter to the unknown.

"Oh!"

As the helicopter slowly approached the Prydwin, the behemoth in the sky completely caused several people who saw it for the first time to let out a sigh of amazement.

Nuclear-powered and hydrogen-lifted, the Prydwin gave the Eastern Brotherhood unmatched maneuverability to get from Washington headquarters to Boston in a short time.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Pridwin," recalled Danse, who had been away on a mission for a long time, "Alright, ready, we're going up soon." ”

The huge airship was temporarily chained to the edge of a building, and the helicopter slowly flew to the bottom of the airship, and the propellers that were originally facing forward changed angles to vertical take-off and landing modes, and gradually pulled up.

After Danse handed over to the people on the airship, the helicopter was allowed to dock, and everyone followed Danse onto the inner deck of the airship.

A black man in military uniform stepped forward, he was Kells, the captain of the Brotherhood Spear Knights, and also the captain of the Prydwin, and his standard standing posture made people feel like a qualified soldier at first glance, "Welcome back, paladin, congratulations on your successful mission!" ”

"These are the recruits? I don't know what you think, they don't look like soldiers at all, and they have a small child, we are not a nursery here! I want you to be accountable for the people you recommend, and I've always made it a point to keep every recruit who joins through a rigorous vetting. Kells turned his attention to Zhang Lin and the others, and said with a straight face, "Although the report of Paladin Danse mentions that you have good strength, but that is only his side of the story, I hope you will not disappoint me." ”

This kind of condescending tone is very common as a commander to reprimand recruits, but Zhang Lin, who was not meant to be a subordinate of the brotherhood, listened quite unpleasantly, and after Kells gave the order to disband, Zhang Lin and the others dangled on the airship.

Before they knew it, several people had walked outside the command room, and at this moment, the Elder Maxson, who was actually in his early 20s, but with a vicissitudes of life and a beard on his face, was making an impassioned presentation on this trip.

"We have come a long way, and the road ahead is still full of hardships." Maxson walked to the middle of the crowd, "You guys have exceeded my expectations, and we have reached the territory of the Federation as quickly as possible. ”

"I'm sorry, Elder, I don't mean to raise an objection, but isn't such an expedition a bit of a burden for us now?"

Hearing a question, Maxson was not upset, "Good, you didn't raise objections before you acted, but our trip was a must." The scientists of the academy are abusing the technology they have mastered to develop [Synths], a robot monster that can infiltrate humans, they can think like humans, if they can't control this new technology, humanity may perish, so the academy must be eradicated, even if it costs a lot! ”

As the conversation came to an end, the slogan of invincibility was shouted, and everyone in the command room did not leave any intention of chatting, and returned to work.

"Where are you here?" Dans, who had removed the power armor for maintenance and changed into a daily outfit, happened to pass by and saw Zhang Lin and a few people, and the voice of his voice also made Maxson notice a few people who stopped outside the door.

"Elder Maxson, after listening to some of your thoughts on the Academy, we may be able to talk." Zhang Lin stepped forward and decided to talk to the young elder first.

"Oh, could it be that the recruits introduced by the Dans Knight are actually lobbyists for the Academy?" There was a hint of sarcasm in Maxson's tone.

As soon as the seemingly old elder spoke, Zhang Lin choked up, making Zhang Lin almost unable to continue organizing the language.

"With all due respect, Elder Maxson, in the past few years, you have been able to deal with the Enclave in Washington, D.C., and now you are preparing to destroy the Academy, do you want to fight against all the forces in the wasteland on your own?"

Whether it's the Brotherhood of Steel, the Academy, or any other organization, these organizations operate in the form of abnormal states, and in many ways they have their own limitations, and the Brotherhood's blind efforts to clean up the wasteland, purify the wasteland, and collect technology may eventually evolve into a state ruled by warlords, and although the people's lives are guaranteed to a certain extent, their constant conquest will still bring a huge burden to the rear.

"I think even if you win, it's not a very good result for the vast majority of people, you should enlarge the pattern a little, the urban intelligence ruled by the armed forces ensures the survival of civilization and lacks subsequent development, why don't you want to integrate more forces, re-establish the country in the wasteland, and divide scientific research, production, and battle, isn't that more conducive to the future conquest of the Quartet?"

Zhang Lin's words have a certain constructive significance, but you have to let the young elders who have never been exposed to history and politics in the process of growing up, but have been growing up in iron and blood and war, immediately recognize it, this is unlikely, Zhang Lin's mouth has not yet reached this point.

"Recruit, I have to say, you have a lot of ideas, but all this is different from the original intention of the Brotherhood!"

“......”

There was no way to change the elder's mind for a moment.
