Chapter 1259: Isolated and helpless There is no compromise

Banner couldn't understand why it was the way it was. Obviously, he was thinking about the interests of these people, why was he betrayed by these people in the end?

Is it a matter of position? Or is it a matter of principle? He didn't have time to think about it carefully, because by this time, Roddy was already giving orders in a victorious posture.

"It's great to see you make this choice, because it tells everyone here that we are worthy of our military status, worthy of the epaulettes on our shoulders. Maybe some people won't understand the decision we made, but I think one day he will. ”

At this point, Roddy glanced at a distraught Banner and continued.

"Now, I begin to announce the detailed steps of the next move. It was three o'clock in the morning, and we corrected ourselves for seven hours, and at ten o'clock we set out for the target city, trying to reach the outskirts of the city before dark. It doesn't have to be fast, but it has to be stealthy enough. You're all elites, so I believe in your abilities. There is only one goal, which is to safely and stealthily infiltrate the outskirts of the city, and then take advantage of the darkness to catch the enemy by surprise. As long as the enemy's main force is routed in the shortest possible time, then we have a good chance of taking the city. A perfect start to our entire program. I wonder if you have faith? ”

"Yes, sir." Roddy's set from the military is still very useful to these elite agents, so immediately, he got a uniform answer from these people. Hearing such an answer to Banner's ears made his face even more ugly.

Because he knew that his prestige had been almost lost with the answers of these agents. Without the support of these agents, his position as commander has become a real thing. Even in the eyes of these agents, Roddy's orders may carry more weight than his own words.

This can be seen as a kind of power overhead, a kind of alternative mutiny. If Banner were to be put in Banner's current position as a man with too much power, he would definitely fight to the death. But Banner didn't care about this bit of power, he cared more about other things, so right now, he said this to Roddy.

"What the hell are you going to do. Just watch them rush up, and then watch them fall on the sand one by one like sardines that have washed ashore. Roddy, you can't do this, you're simply trading their lives for your own merits! They're not your bargaining chips, they're just living beings. ”

"Why can't I do this? That's pretty much what any war in this world looks like. Banner, you are so kind to a woman, according to your ideas, you can't help anyone at all, and what you do can only satisfy yourself to a certain extent. Other than that, it doesn't help with all of that. ”

By this time, Roddy, who was too lazy to continue to engage in a verbal dispute with Banner, directly pointed out what he thought was Banner's problem. In the face of his accusation, Banner immediately pointed at his nose and scolded indignantly.

"You say I'm self-satisfied? So what are you, you are just using their lives as bargaining chips for your own achievements, are you noble in comparison? ”

"I think I'm nobler than you, because your so-called achievements are the result of my efforts with those people. I'm not going to be like you and do nothing. I will personally take them to fulfill our mission! ”

Tapping the steel mask on his face, Roddy closed the mask directly. He didn't want to continue arguing with Banner on this issue, so he just said to Banner in a businesslike tone at this time.

"Alright, Your Excellency, Commander. As we've said before, we should be able to act now. How you do it, that's irrelevant. But I think you'd better not stop our actions. This is everyone's decision, and you should know that you can't stop us. ”

Banner knew he couldn't stop them, of course, but he couldn't sit here and do nothing. In that case, he will really become a guy who sells his reputation and only cares about his own psychological satisfaction. In order not to be seen as such a guy, and also to prevent some unexpected situations from happening. At this time, he could only suppress the reluctant thoughts in his heart. Said word by word to Roddy.

"I'll go with you. If things are out of your control, I'll take over some and evacuate with them. ”

"Whatever you want, if you think you can do it."

Completely ignoring Banner's opinion, Roddy set his sights on his other companions. He knew in his heart that if he had estimated the worst, he would not be able to achieve any obvious results with his own strength and those agents. He even said that if the enemy's strength exceeded his own estimates, he would really become a loser in this war, as Banner said.

He doesn't want to be like that yet, so the support of these peers becomes very important. Because even if they are scarce in number, they are all famous superheroes after all. In some special circumstances, they can take on an army alone, so it is impossible for him to ignore their existence no matter what.

"Guys, I'll get straight to the point. Everyone knows the situation now, and we are definitely on the weak side. It's impossible to take that city with me and the agents alone. So, I need your help. Not just one, but everyone. Only when you use all your strength to help us and to respond to and support our operations will we be able to open up this situation in one go. That's what we're here for, isn't it? ”

Although the struggle between Roddy and Banner and his use of public opinion to override Banner have made some people look at it unpleasantly, at this time, they still know what to choose to be the most correct. So immediately, they responded.

"Don't worry, we know what to do. The frontal task can be counted as my share. ”

"I'll leave the task of responding and clearing the enemy's outposts to me, and that's all I can do."

"Do you want to set it on fire? I can help you out of the battle and give them a little more trouble by the way. ”

Almost everyone made a promise to Roddy, and this made Banner's heart sink directly to the bottom. He knew that what he was doing was unpopular, but he didn't expect that even these companions who got along day and night were unwilling to stand with him. Is he so unpopular?

Thinking about this, Banner became distracted. And in this case, he didn't say hello to these companions, and walked outside by himself.

Everyone is watching his state, but at this time, the vast majority of people ignore his current performance. Because for them, Banner did something wrong in this matter.

I didn't even dare to fight a real battle, which not only lost the face of those agents, but also brought them with shame. Now that Luo Di has taken the lead and opposed him, although they will not jump out openly to agree with Luo Di for the sake of face, there is no problem in making their position clear in the end.

It can be said that almost all Avengers at this time thought so. Even the little spider closest to Banner is the same. Still, he was somewhat concerned about some of his fellow comrades. So when most of the others were ignoring him, he followed and comforted Banner.

"Sorry, man. You should know that we actually have our own reasons for doing this. After all, no one wants to see themselves as a loser, and in such a way. ”

"I know, I can understand. I guess my current image in your eyes must be very ridiculous. You must be laughing at me in your hearts right now for not being able to do enough and not knowing the times. ”

Shaking his head, Banner said to the little spider with a bitter expression. Obviously, he still couldn't let go of all this in his heart.

In the face of his mood, the little spider scratched her head in distress, and then sighed and said to him.

"Man, things are never as simple as you and I think, and they can't go as smoothly. You are a good heart, everyone knows it. It's just that it doesn't fit what we need right now. Just like an environmentalist can insist on being vegetarian but can't force others to follow suit, we understand this piece of kindness of yours, but everyone has their own ideas. In times of conflict, it's better to compromise with each other. ”

"Compromise?" Standing on the balcony and looking into the distance, the bitterness on Banner's face became deeper and deeper as the sun rose. "To put it simply, do you know what a compromise means? It probably means that most of them are going to die here, and that I am going to have to take a role that I least want to play to deliver the letters that represent death to their families. They have parents, wives, and children. These people were all longing, waiting for them to return to them safely. The result? That's all I can do for them. How do you make me deal with them, how do I explain my powerlessness right now. ”

Banner's worries and pains are understood. He's always been a good guy, a guy who doesn't know how to control himself. This is good and bad. Because the little spider can't convince him at all now. So in the end, he could only pat Banner on the shoulder and say this to him.

"You've done the best you could, man. The result will be terrible, but no one will blame you. You can open it yourself. ”

"Want to open a point? It would be nice if I could think about it. With a long sigh, Banner's eyes slowly hardened as he faced the sunrise. But you're right, I should do what I can. Now I can only do my best! ”
