"So, what you mean is..."

Ryan looked at Benjamin.

The latter chuckled and said, "Go to the middle of the team. Even if the rabbit appears from any direction, it will not endanger us!"

…

Just as these two people were whispering and conspiring.

A figure walked over from the front of the island chain.

The visitor's name is Hagen, a four-star general in the empire.

He is also the coach of this island chain team.

Hagen was supported by a certain force in the Senate.

I already sneered at neutrals like Lane and Benjamin.

So when he walked up to Ryan and Benjamin, he didn't say hello to them.

Logically speaking.

Everyone is in the same system and has a superior-subordinate relationship. Ryan just wanted to say hello, but Benjamin held him down.

As a neutral, you must have neutral principles.

If you rashly show favor to a certain force, you will easily be targeted by other forces.

Hagen didn't greet him, so he didn't have to deal with it.

certainly.

It is not necessary to say hello, but military salutes are still required.

When Hagen came to the side of the two of them, they both saluted Hagen at the same time.

It can be regarded as a matter of going through a procedure.

Hagen seemed to be just here for a look around.

After walking around their empty island for a few times, they left with a few of their men.

Looking at Hagen's completely disappeared back.

Ryan snorted coldly.

"What the hell, holding chicken feathers as arrows and patrolling around."

This Hagen has no military level at all. If he didn't rely on his connections in the Senate, how would he be qualified to stand in this position?

Not to mention Ryan, even Benjamin also dismissed Hagen in his heart.

but.

Ryan was just about to complain a few more words.

But he was stopped by Benjamin.

The partition walls have ears, and God knows if someone will give them little shoes to wear.

It's okay to complain about something like this.

If you say too much, it will inevitably reach the ears of Hagen himself.

It is really unwise to offend a four-star general supported by a certain force for this reason.

Ryan was not an idiot, so he immediately stopped talking.

Then continue to discuss countermeasures with Benjamin.

…

It's getting late.

Every empty island in the island chain lit up with light.

They don't have access to electricity.

The main reason is that the materials are too complex and require a certain industrial level to be produced.

So the current lighting tool is still a fire with kerosene added.

Because it is above the sky, the temperature difference between day and night is huge.

You can still wear short sleeves during the day, but at night, every patrolling soldier wears long sleeves.

And at this time.

On an empty island in the island chain.

Inside a wooden house.

Benjamin and Ryan were exchanging glasses of wine with a middle-aged man.

"My dear brother, Venharus, we have known each other for about ten years!"

Ryan took a sip of multigrain wine, then stepped forward with a smile and hugged the middle-aged man's shoulders.

But Venharus, whom he called his good brother, nodded solemnly.

"Yes, when I was in Kenya, if it weren't for your generosity, I wouldn't even have a decent job!"

"Later, when I got married and had children, it was you who helped me, Ryan, my good brother!"

When it comes to this.

Venharus's voice suddenly stopped.

His eyes suddenly turned red.

"I have been in the Sky Island World for so long, and I don't know how my wife and daughter are doing."

"I hope they can live a good life in their original world and don't end up like me, coming to this damn empty island world!"

Talking about family.

Even Ryan and Benjamin fell silent immediately.

Before coming to Sky Island World, they all had their own families.

Middle-aged people like them worry most about their wives and children.

It was as if he was thinking of his own family.

Benjamin picked up the wine glass alone and took a sip.

Hey, my son should be eight years old now...

I don’t know how that kid is doing now.

Aina should educate this kid well...

Ryan also thought of his family.

only.

He recovered quickly.

"Hey, things are fickle. God knew we would end up in a place like this. It's so harmful! My dear brother, I called you here to have a drink with you. Why did you suddenly say such sad things? It's too disturbing!"

Finished.

Ryan quietly kicked the bottom of the table with his foot, which happened to be Benjamin's foot.

The latter suddenly came to his senses and immediately agreed.

"That's right, Brother Harus, look at you, it almost made me cry!"

There is an active atmosphere of two people working in tandem.

Venharus' condition is finally getting better.

"Hahaha, you're right. You see, as I get older, I tend to get sentimental easily. Please forgive me!"

Finished.

As if he was punishing himself, Weinharus quickly filled his glass with wine and drained it with a gulp.

See the situation.

Ryan and Benjamin looked at each other.

Benjamin spoke immediately.

"Alas, after coming to the Sky Island World, it's still you, Brother Harus, who has done well!"

Ryan chimed in: "That's right, there are only so many lieutenant generals in the entire empire, and you, brother, are one of them. Unlike Benjamin and I, we are still like this even now!"

After saying that.

Ryan also looked particularly ashamed.

It was as if his current status did not qualify him to sit and drink with Venharus.
