Chapter 1377: Protect Yourself

Actually, Benjamin was the one who said that the chances of winning were slim.

Now the whole team seemed to be suppressed by the rabbits.

They were forced to defend together.

It was only a matter of time before they were defeated by the enemy.

Of course.

If the people in the Senate had a better strategy, there might be a chance of a comeback.

But...

When he thought of the Senate, Benjamin shook his head helplessly.

How could those guys who only knew how to engage in politics fight?

If they were to engage in some political struggle, perhaps the bigwigs in the Senate could still compete with the enemy.

But when they actually went to the battlefield...

Alas, these bigwigs in the Senate would only cause trouble!

As for the order issued by King 9999, in Benjamin's view, it was also a helpless move.

After all.

In the previous war, they were directly beaten by the other side.

If it weren't for the good psychological quality of King 9999, if someone else were to be the king, I'm afraid his mentality would collapse.

The strength of both sides is not at the same level at all!

Of course

The strength here, in addition to the gap in standard weapons and armor.

More importantly, the ability of the commanders of both sides!

Nowadays.

As the king of the empire, 9999 completely controls the entire battlefield.

He does not delegate power to the generals below.

A true master of micro-manipulation!

Imagine that the two sides were fighting back and forth.

9999 directly bypassed the generals and issued military orders to the squad.

How can the generals lead the team?

Some generals even said in private.

The military ability of this guy 9999 can only lead a few squads at most!

No matter how many people there are, 9999 can't lead them!

In fact.

In the entire empire.

There are quite a few capable generals.

For example, there are several generals who have been promoted by hard power.

These people do not have the background of the Senate, let alone the relationship with the Elders Council!

They are completely promoted by strength!

Although this is also part of the Sky Island world.

But it is completely different from the part where Jiang Tian is!

In the sky island world where Jiang Tian is, there are many forces of all sizes.

Although they can keep each other together in development, they will also go their separate ways when they encounter conflicts of interest.

However, the sky island world of 9999 is completely different.

What empires, sky pirates, alliances, etc.

No longer exist.

There is only one empire here!

That is the empire ruled by King 9999.

At the beginning.

The survivors here are the same as the survivors on Jiang Tian's side.

They all rely on fishing rods to catch supplies and enrich their strength.

But.

They have many years of experience in division.

They actually skipped the alliance directly.

Several oligarchs took the lead and directly created the empire.

The Elders and the Senate were established!

The members of the Elders and the Senate are strictly divided according to their current strength!

That is, a strict hierarchy!

The more powerful people are, the more they have the right to speak!

The law of the jungle, the law of the jungle, is fully demonstrated!

Where there are people, there are struggles.

So even so, the seats in the Elders and Senate are constantly changing.

Except for the Vinsmoke family, which is firmly in the first place.

The rest of the positions are not fixed.

And the reason why the Vinsmoke family can firmly sit in the first place.

There is only one most important reason!

That is, the constitution of the entire empire was built by the Vinsmoke family!

In other words.

It seems that many senators and elders are competing for positions.

In fact, they are all under the control of the Vinsmoke family!

However.

9999 is obviously an emperor with strong ambitions.

He does not intend to stay under others for a long time!

Benjamin pulled back his thoughts.

He shook his head.

Forget it.

Now the forces within the entire empire are complicated and intricate, and it is not something that he can participate in at this level.

If he is accidentally involved in it, he will most likely lose his life...

He and Ryan have no background, but rely on all the way to fight to get to where they are now.

In the past, they were just ordinary survivors.

At that time, they dared to think and fight.

I don't know if it's because their positions are getting higher and higher that they have become timid.

People.

That's it.

The richer you are, the more you cherish your life.

Take Ryan for example.

When he was expanding his territory, Ryan was willing to fight with his head tied to his belt.

He wouldn't even blink if he was asked to fight a large force.

The most serious time, he was even seriously injured. If he hadn't received the high-quality healing medicine awarded by the empire.

Ryan almost confessed that time.

And Ryan at that time was also heartless.

He just patted Benjamin on the shoulder and comforted him: "What are you afraid of? Honor is earned by blood and flesh. God won't give you a free hamburger!"

In response.

Benjamin could only smile helplessly.

But as the status of the two became higher and higher.

Although many big figures threw olive branches to them...

They were all rejected by Benjamin.

Of course.

He did this not to show that he was noble or something.

But he was afraid of being involved in an invisible and intangible vortex!

Only by avoiding this vortex can there be a chance of survival!

This is what Benjamin has been telling himself.

At the same time.

He also told Ryan why he chose to refuse.

Ryan thought the same as Benjamin.

"Hey, instead of being used as a gun by the elders and the old guys in the Senate, it is better to be neutral!"

However.

Being in the neutral camp is not so easy.

Without background and support from big figures.

Even high-ranking generals like Benjamin and Ryan were sent out to do the work that low-level non-commissioned officers would do...

But for this.

Benjamin and Ryan did not complain.

As I said just now, they no longer have the courage to fight to the death!

What they are considering now is how to get out of this war unscathed!

If they win, the honor belongs to the elders and the old guys in the Senate.

If they lose...

Their lives are their own!

So.

The two of them did not hide anything at this time.

They spoke directly and frankly.

They talked about how to protect themselves.

"Ryan, our team is at the front, this won't work."

"Even if there are people guarding the five directions to prevent sneak attacks. Once we get separated from the team behind, we will be surrounded by the enemy directly!"

"So we have to think of a way, it's best to go to the middle of the team..."

Ryan scratched the back of his head.

"Is the back okay? I know their captain, maybe we can switch."

Benjamin shook his head.

"No, it's easy to be surrounded by the enemy at the back..."

The sky is not like the land, there are only a few directions that can be surrounded.

The disadvantage of the sky is that.

Not only the front, back, left, right, up and down are also dangerous!

Relying on weight to lower or raise the height of the sky island.

The rabbits will definitely do it!
