CHAPTER 1767 UNENDING TROUBLE
Just as Li Genhong had guessed.
After his plans were passed on to the rest in the army, about 90% of them chose to stay.
Some of them believed that Li Genhong was able to achieve this, and they wanted to help the Li family to complete this noble task. Some of them didn't know which side to choose, so they went with the majority.
Some of them even took the initiative to contribute the prize money that they had just received! © 2024.
Li Genhong didn't expect this reaction at all.
He now understood how much the word 'homeland' meant to these people.
He didn't delay any further and immediately gave orders to reorganize the men and got them to rest well. They were going to move first thing the next day.
Time was the most important thing now.
He had to take over that area and protect it before anybody else discovered that mine. He had to make sure his territory was impenetrable.
The name of the Li family army spread quickly.
They had gained fame at the expense of the Purple Moon Mercenary Army. In war, either one died or the other did.
Everyone was used to it.
But nobody expected the Li family to shift camp.
First thing the next morning, they started their huge move. They brought whatever they could and abandoned whatever they couldn't.
More than ten cars kicked up the sand of the desert, and the eyes of all the soldiers in the cars were resolute.
They all felt that they weren't going to a new campsite, but their new homeland!
Jiang Ning sat in the car and didn't say anything about Li Genhong's decision.
He already said that he was going to let the Li family take control of this region, and he wasn't going to interfere.
As long as nothing went wrong, he wasn't going to say anything.
Once they arrived at their destination, Jiang Ning took a walk around. This place was really so empty that calling it a wasteland sounded too kind. He had no idea how on earth Li Genhong could have possibly discovered a mine he wanted here.
That must have taken so much effort to achieve.
It was clear that Li Zhengshang and Li Genhong were very afraid to disappoint Jiang Ning.
"Troop One, Two and Three, clear the place!" Li Genhong started making arrangements. "Four shall put out place markers and make sure everyone knows this place is ours. The rest of the troops can start building the foundations!"
"I want to build up our campsite in the shortest time possible!"
This was the most basic goal for the day, and it would ensure that they had this place.
While everyone was sleeping the night before, Li Genhong had stayed up all night to perfect his plans.
He had plans on where to build each building, designs for their defenses, a school, a hospital, canteens...
It was as if he was building a small town!
Li Genhong was highly educated and was well exposed to many things. Planning these things out wasn't a big problem, and there was no need for anything too professional at the moment.
He was just going by his experience and gut feel first.
He had more than a thousand men, so he had plenty of laborers. But more importantly, everyone seemed to be even more united now.
Everyone seemed to have only one thought in their minds - they weren't doing this for others or for the Li family, but they were doing this for themselves! To build a home for themselves!
Even Jiang Ning couldn't help but nod his head in approval at this. Li Genhong had done a good job.
Within three days, there was some semblance of a campsite already. Everyone had worked very hard, and they inevitably drew a lot of attention to themselves.
There were six other mercenary armies within 100 kilometer radius around them.
Purple Moon Mercenary Army was the strongest one previously, but they had been destroyed by the Li family's army, so this seemingly small and weak army immediately came into the spotlight.
