CHAPTER 1768 THAT MAKES IT INTERESTING
The Li family army drew even more attention after they moved camp and took up such a huge piece of land. On top of that, they poured in so much money and labor to develop the land.
This made a lot of people very uneasy.
If that was just a piece of wasteland that nobody wanted, they wouldn't care. But now someone was developing the place and making it useful, so that made them uncomfortable.
Nobody wanted the Li family army to rise up and become the second Purple Moon Mercenary Army.
Trouble quietly began to brew.
Li Genhong was already prepared for these people and such trouble.
He was going to take a tough stance against them! © 2024.
If he was tough enough, his commanders would be tough, and all the soldiers under them would be tough too.
None of them was going to allow others to ruin the home that they had built!
Li Genhong had already bought up a lot of firearms, and they continued their recruitment exercise. They were so well known and celebrated now, so there were many people fighting to join the Li family army.
But Li Genhong was sure that he couldn't take more than 3,000 for now.
He had limited resources, so 3,000 was the most reasonable number.
Quality was more important than quantity, especially in such an environment. If everyone was united in doing something, then their efficiency would be much higher.
Li Genhong had forcibly fought back all harassment attempts, so his name started to become famous as well.
Everyone knew that the Li family had changed heads, and the new head of the family had a completely different style from the previous one.
And that made everyone around them even more nervous and anxious.
"I'm surprised that other people have become wary of us so quickly." Li Genhong shook his head and said self-deprecatingly, "Just a few days ago, they probably thought that the Li family army would die at the hands of the Purple Moon Mercenary Army. And now?”
He had expected this. There were only so many resources to go round. If one had more, someone else had less, and nobody was willing to fall behind.
But most importantly, they were the least experienced.
In fact, this current army had been formed for only a few days.
"They've joined hands," said Li Zhengshang. "The informants have reported that the five small mercenary armies around us have agreed privately to join hands and stop us from expanding."
In the past, everyone only fought for themselves. Nobody would think of joining hands with others.
But to their surprise, the Li family had grown so quickly that these opponents had no choice but to work with one another.
Jiang Ning looked at the two of them.
"So what do both of you want to do?”
"We're going to fight!" said Li Genhong. "We don't have a choice now, so we have to fight! We have to fight all the way!"
He clenched his fists. "Also, we have to lose once."
A proud army was bound to be defeated. He couldn't allow this sort of attitude to surface among his army. After they won two battles in a row, some of them had begun to become complacent, and this was a very dangerous mindset to have.
Li Genhong was now in control of all this, including his men's emotions.
"Mr Jiang, I would like to increase the ability of the Li family's army in general.” He took a deep breath. "I'm afraid I will have to trouble Brother Gou and the rest."
The Li family army's real opponents weren't these clowns around them, but those truly powerful people in this region.
Their responsibility was to guard this mine well, so it was inevitable that they would face great opponents in the future.
So they had to increase their ability right now, so that the Li family army was able to protect themselves and guard their own territory!
"Sure." Jiang Ning didn't say more.
This was part of his own plan as well. In order to get to his final aim, everything had to be done step by step for it to be interesting.
