Chapter 2093: Burn the Boats

After all, if you lose money, you can earn it again, but if you lose your life, you really have nothing.

So what they really need to rely on is their own soldiers. Even if they know there is danger, these people will not retreat casually.

Because once they retreat, they are equivalent to betraying the world government in disguise, and the punishment they receive must be paid with their lives.

To put it bluntly, if they are going to die anyway, they will definitely fight to the death.

Because once they fight to the death, they can still have a glimmer of hope, otherwise if they choose to escape, they will only die.

But this is only for their own people, and there is no such strong constraint on mercenaries.

Because it is just a transaction and a cooperation between them.

The money they pay is not enough to make the other party a dead soldier and let them work for themselves.

So they recruit these people more to fill the number, let the other party know that they are well prepared, let the other party retreat when they see the difficulty, and dare not fight them to the end.

In addition to this reason, they kept half of their people because they were afraid that if the mission failed, but the other party did not want to let them go, they could send these people out to rescue other brothers.

Many people may ask again, if the world government fails in its mission and chooses to escape, there is no need for the 3333 Empire to pursue it, right?

After all, the rebellious forces and treasures have been captured by them, and even if they capture the world government, they will not gain any benefits.

Because the other forces still have the ability to fight, the other party has taken the initiative to retreat at this time. If you still chase them, wouldn’t you be driving them to a dead end? Isn’t this forcing the other party to fight you to the death?

That’s what they said, but the truth is not like this.

If the world government chooses to retreat without fighting, or chooses to leave with only a slight loss of troops, then the 3333 Empire will definitely not chase them.

Because the losses on both sides are not great, and the people and treasures that the 3333 Empire wants have been taken by them, they don’t have to make enemies with the other party.

Anyway, if the other party fails in their mission, they will definitely be ridiculed by the world, which is also a disguised way to vent the anger of the 3333 Empire.

However, if both sides have already fought to the death and lost a large number of people, if the World Government wants to retreat at this time, the 3333 Empire will definitely not do as the other party wishes.

After all, my side has suffered heavy casualties, so how could they let the other party go at this time when they have the advantage?

Anyway, to put it bluntly, when the battle reaches this level, the two sides have already made a feud, and it is almost impossible to cooperate and become allies in the future.

So how could they let the other party go when they are destined to become the enemy of the enemy?

You must know that once the other party leaves and recuperates, these people who leave may become the god of death who ends themselves in the future.

So the best way is to do everything possible to keep the other party's people as much as possible.

Because every extra person left is equivalent to their strength going a step further.

When they really meet in the future, their chances of winning will also be one point higher.

And what the 3333 Empire can think of, how could the five elders of the world government not think of it.

So when they sent troops to the expedition, they had already made the worst plan, and they didn't think that the other side would let it go.

So the group of people who stayed behind were to pick up the group of people who were sent out.

Whether they came out to pick up and escort after completing the mission, or rushed to rescue these people when the mission failed and they were chased by the other side, the role of this group of people exists for this.

Because if there is no such group of people, the outcome of the full-scale movement will become particularly extreme.

If they win, it is certainly a good thing. They not only gave the other side a warning, but also won a rare treasure.

But the outcome of failure is death, and there is no chance to come again.

It will directly make them withdraw from the world's first throne and withdraw from the stage of the Sky Island World.

Such a game is too risky. Even if they are the number one force, the world government dare not implement this plan.

As I said before, if there is no treasure, you can slowly look for it again. If the people and the country are gone, then there is really nothing.

Their current status and current resources, as long as they do not make mistakes, can allow them to continue to develop in the Sky Island World for at least dozens or hundreds of years.

For such a long time, their status cannot be shaken or replaced.

But if this adventure puts them in an irretrievable situation, they will never dare to do so.

So they kept half of their manpower just for double insurance. Even if they cannot defeat the 3333 Empire, they can still preserve half of their strength.

Of course, they also understand that unless the other party really intends to fight them to death, the half of the troops they sent out will definitely not be wiped out, and at least more than one-third can come back.

In this way, their strength is enough to preserve more than half, and at that time, according to their strength ranking, they can still keep the top three thrones. Even if they are not the first, they will at least be the third.

For them, using a ranking to reduce the risk of a few people to gamble on a super treasure that has never been seen before, this deal is still worth a try.

In the end, it was indeed as the five elders of the World Government analyzed. The emperor of the 3333 Empire went to war with them for the sake of face, but he did not fight with all his strength.

After all, they were facing the number one force in the Sky Island World. Even if the other party only sent half of its troops, the elite team from the other camp came.

Facing such a team, if you dare to hide your weakness, how can you win.

But if you don't hide and fight the other party with real swords and guns, then even if they win, the losses will be heavy.

At that time, let alone other external forces will attack them, even many of the forces that were vassals to them after their expansion may rebel, and it is very likely that they will be stabbed in the back.

So in order to preserve the strength of the empire and to become the real number one in the world in the future, they can only pretend and fight a few games with the other party to save face.

At that time, even if the other party returns with a full load, it will not be unscathed.

They will not be ridiculed by others, saying that others have come to their territory, but they can remain indifferent. How can they convince those vassal forces with such cowardice?

So this battle is just to let other forces understand that their 3333 Empire is not a coward.
