CHAPTER 1757 A BUNCH OF NUTCASES
"Trash!" spat the lieutenant angrily and didn't give Halen a second glance.
Almost half of his men had been killed thanks to Halen and he wished he had killed this useless Halen a long time ago!
He stood up and his expression was dark. The frightening scars on his bald head struck fear in many hearts.
"This is a feud we must settle! I have never been so humiliated before!" he shouted angrily. "I want those fellows dead! I want them to go to hell!"
"Gather everyone! We're going to crush them!"
This was a battle that had to be fought.
Half his men had been defeated by an army of just slightly more than 100 men. How could he possibly remain in this region if others found out about what happened?
Everyone would laugh at him!
He would become the Middle East's biggest joke!
His eyes were so malicious, it was terrifying. He looked like a venomous snake.
He couldn't wait even one minute more. He immediately sent orders to gather all his men so that he could trample those hundred odd men underfoot.
All the men gathered in no time.
There were more than 600 of them!
All their weapons and equipment were excellent and even though they had not fought in a while, they were all formidable men.
These men were his best, and were definitely way better than the soldiers that Halen led previously. But even though Halen's men were not as good, it was still painful to lose them all.
He stood right in front and pulled the saber at his waist out.
"We must not let anybody trample on the prestige of the Purple Moon Mercenary Army!”
"All of you, follow me! I'm going to make those assholes disappear from the face of this earth! Onward!"
His voice sounded like the rumbling of thunder as it filled the skies.
The lieutenant did not hesitate at all as he led his troops towards the Li family's camp.
Meanwhile.
Li Zhengshang and Li Genhong seemed to have gone mad.
They only had one day to reorganize themselves, but they knew that they probably had even less than one day.
Where were they going to find so many people in such a short time?
Even though they had won the last battle, they were going to face the lieutenant's main army next. The difference was too great.
Fighting them was as good as sending themselves to die. © 2024.
Li Zhengshang wasn't too hopeful either.
But the moment they entered the city and started their recruitment exercise, a huge number of men came to sign up with them and the response was overwhelming.
"Me me me! I want to sign up! I want to sign up!"
"Me too! Count me in!"
"Did you say each enemy soldier is worth $10,000?! Count me in too!"
Everyone was shouting away and was afraid that Li Zhengshang might not want them.
They had heard all about the prize money, and had seen for themselves how those men had brought actual cash home. All that money was for real!
For people like them, they just needed to earn enough to feed their families. So what if they had to become mercenary soldiers?
You could even kill them on the spot if they were promised this much money!
Li Zhengshang was taken aback.
"One by one! We need to go through checks and ensure that we only take the best in!" Li Genhong snapped out of his shock first and started shouting back. "As long as you're good enough, you will be able to join our army and you will get the chance to have everything you've ever wanted!"
"You can become stronger, and you can become someone respected by others!"
Li Genhong was very good at talking, and even Jiang Ning would have given him a thumbs up if he were here. It only took a few words from Li Genhong to get everyone all riled up, and even more people started flocking towards him.
After one morning, more than 800 men had signed up!
Li Zhengshang couldn't believe it at all.
More than 800 men?!
He had only managed to recruit 300 after half a year, and 200 of them had escaped when they thought they were going to face a losing battle. But in just one morning, he had recruited more than 800 men?!
