Jiang Ning never looked down on these people. In fact, many of them did not choose to become a mercenary soldier for their own sakes.
Most of them were doing this for their families and loved ones.
This region had become a playground for the Third World powers. For the sake of gaining more benefits, they could turn this place into a warzone, or they could turn this place into a complete wasteland.
But the people who lived here didn't have a choice at all.
There was no chance for them to be employed in any other industry. Who would dare to start a company or open a factory here?
They didn't even have the right to go anywhere near that precious crude oil or mines even though they were indigenous to this land.
Their only choice was to become mercenary soldiers and work for those major powers. They had to use their own lives to fight for the benefits that these powers wanted for themselves.
They were actually very pitiful.
Most people didn't know much about them, but Jiang Ning knew how cruel this place really was.
But he was no messiah and couldn't change the current situation here. That wasn't practical.
The only thing he could do was to help those who trusted in him to live better lives.
He looked at the trenches that had been dug outside the camp, the assembled weapons and the thousand men split into ten troops. All of them were ready and followed the instructions from the top.
They were now all just waiting for the lieutenant to come with his men, and they couldn't wait to fight!
"We've got news that the lieutenant is on the way, and he'll reach our camp in another 30 minutes!" Li Genhong had already arranged for informants to plant themselves along the way and update him on the situation. He had gone through several of such fights and was getting better and better at it. It was as if he had discovered a new side of himself.
"They're so slow," Jiang Ning shook his head. "Look at their eyes."
The soldiers were all armed and their eyes were reddened as they already had their fingers on the trigger of their guns. They couldn't wait to unlock the safety catch on their weapons.
But the enemy wasn't here yet.
