CHAPTER 1765 RESPONSIBILITY

They never thought they would hear the word 'homeland' again in this lifetime.

They never expected a foreigner to come here in order to build a new homeland for them!

Li Genhong was going to allow their children to go to school!

To change the futures of their children!

To possibly change everything in this region!

All ten commanders were sniffling as the word 'homeland' continued to echo in their minds.

Homeland!

"I want to turn this place into our homeland," said Li Genhong. "Honestly, this is going to be very difficult and we will definitely run into a million and one problems. There will be many things we must sacrifice and overcome along the way.”

"We are now all working for money, but so what if we have money?"

He looked at all of them. "Even if I give you US$100,000 now, can you change the future of your children?"

"After they grow up, the only road they might be left with is to die in a battle. Or perhaps, starve to death along the streets."

"Is that what you want to see?”

Li Genhong took a deep breath and rapped his fingers in a rhythm on the desk.

"I wouldn't want to see that."

"I don't have anywhere to go either. I've come here because I had no choice, but since I'm already here, I would like to do these things."

He sat down and leaned back.

"Alright now, I've said everything I wanted to say. If you're willing to work with me, then stay. If you're not willing to, I won't force you to stay. You can take the money you've earned and leave, it should last you for several years."

Then he didn't say anymore.

He had said everything he could already, so the rest was up to them to choose.

Silence.

All ten of them were silent.

They weren't thinking about what decision to make, but they were thinking about the implications of actually doing something like this.

They were all people who had no choice in life at all. They could be alive today and dead tomorrow!

They weren't afraid of death. They were afraid of what would happen to their families when they died.

Their families would probably have to sacrifice another family member to become a mercenary soldier as well!

And this vicious cycle would just keep going on...

They had lived their lives like that already, so they didn't want to see the people they loved and cared about the most to continue living like this.

'Til stay," said the commander of Troop Four as he placed his fist on the desk. "I'll follow Young Master Li."

His eyes were filled with determination. He didn't care whether he died or not, but he cared about his children.

He had already lost two out of his four children to battles, and he didn't want the remaining two to face the same fate.

"I'll stay too." The commander of Troop Eight also placed his fist on the desk. "No matter how much it takes, I hope that this plan will succeed.”

He looked at Li Genhong. "Young Master Li, from today onwards, my life is yours!" "Mine too!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

All ten of them chose to stay.

Of course, they all knew that it was terribly difficult to achieve this aim, and some of them might end up dying in the process.

But was that important?

There was nothing more important than the futures of their children!

They had watched tragedy after tragedy unfold, and they had watched as despair slowly filled their children's eyes.

They might not be able to change their surroundings, but it was enough to be able to protect their loved ones!

Li Genhong looked at them. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

"Excellent!"

"I can promise you right now that I, Li Genhong, will put in all my effort in order

to achieve this aim! If I ever veer from my original intention, all of you may kill me on the spot!”
