Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 294: Mobilizing the Army
After browsing for a while, he chose a very reliable gambling organization, Guteng Group, and transferred a full 200 million yuan from his own account, all of which he bet on the fifth team to win the final championship in the auditions.
As for the remaining tens of millions, he kept them and prepared to use them as emergency funds. After all, after the auditions , he would have 400 million, which was enough to support him in creating a one-star mercenary group, so he didn't need to bet all the funds.
After placing the bet, Li Jiu purchased a batch of weapons and equipment for the Doug brothers and Clouded Leopard through the equipment mall in the God of War system. After these equipments are delivered to the base, Li Jiu will bring them to the three of them.
After Li Jiu finished all the pre-match matters, he went downstairs to have lunch, and then took the time to practice again...
…
In early autumn, the days are short and the nights are long.
The next morning, it was a little after six and the sky was just beginning to brighten.
In the pale sky, you can see wisps of gray clouds slowly floating across the barren hills in the eastern suburbs.
“Woo!” “Woo!” “Woo!”…
At the foot of the barren mountain, at the gate of the Night Rose Mercenary Group's base, there were gusts of breaking wind, and four green military hovercrafts filed out of the base one after another, quickly drove onto the road in front of the base, and headed straight for somewhere in the eastern suburbs of the fifth district.
These four domineering military hovercrafts all have a blood-red rose pattern on them, and sitting inside are the team from the Night Rose Mercenary Group participating in the auditions this time.
The two flying cars at the front and the back were each occupied by six fully armed Night Rose mercenaries. The first car in the middle was occupied by the leader of the Night Rose Mercenaries, Major Donna. The second-to-last flying car was occupied by the five contestants from the fifth team.
"Isn't it just to participate in a competition? Is it necessary to mobilize such a large force to escort us?" Li Jiu sat in the passenger seat of the second-to-last car, looking at Donna's passenger car in front of him, and said with a helpless smile.
He didn't quite understand why the leader had to mobilize so many people to escort them, as there were only five members of the fifth team participating in the competition today...
"Hey, brother, you don't understand this." Lei Zi was driving the car while glancing at Li Jiu with a smile. "Captain, you sent out so many people today, not only to escort us, but more importantly, this is about the reputation of a mercenary group."
"After all, you have to know that the God of War Contest is a grand event in the mercenary world of the alliance. Although it is only the lowest-level district-level auditions at the moment, the leaders of each mercenary group still attach great importance to it. Today, I'm afraid that the leaders of each mercenary group in the eastern suburbs will go to the competition venue in person to watch the competition. And when the leaders of these mercenary groups meet, they naturally don't want to lose to each other in momentum, so they make it a little more grand..." Lei Zi explained slowly.
After a pause, Lei Zi suddenly stopped smiling and said solemnly: "In addition, speaking of which, it is necessary for the captain to send people to escort us..."
"Oh? Why? Could it be that someone else dares to attack the participating teams?" Li Jiu raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
"Yes, there have been cases in the past where participating teams were attacked on the way to the venue." At this moment, Kaqi, who was sitting in the second row with Bella, suddenly spoke up.
Hearing this, Li Jiu turned around and looked at Kaqi.
"It is said that there was a participating team in the southern suburbs of the fifth district..." Kaqi's eyes were filled with reminiscence, "No one paid special attention to them before the game, and almost everyone thought they were just an ordinary team. However, when the game started, that team had an absolute advantage and defeated all opponents along the way, and finally won the championship of the southern suburbs. Even after the team's strong rise, many people thought that they would most likely defeat the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group and win the championship of the fifth district auditions. However, unfortunately, just when the team was about to participate in the finals of the fifth district auditions, they were all killed by a group of unknown people on the way..."
Hearing this, Li Jiu couldn't help but be slightly startled. It seemed that this Ares Contest was not a harmonious friendly match. Damn, there were actually people playing dirty tricks during the game...
"Why was that team wiped out? Was it because of vendetta or some other reason?" Bella frowned and asked Kaqi.
"Haha, this should be because of interests." Without waiting for Kaqi to speak, Li Jiu smiled indifferently and said indifferently.
"Benefits? Could it be that the other mercenary groups are afraid that the team will take the championship, so they acted from behind?" Bella continued to ask.
"That's possible, but there are other reasons..." Li Jiu nodded slightly, "In addition to other mercenary groups, I'm afraid that outside forces will also get involved. After all, the gambling alone involves the interests of many people..."
"Oh... I see. You mean, some people didn't support that team before the game, so they didn't want them to win, so they sent people to get rid of them..." Bella suddenly realized, and then paused for a moment, with a thoughtful look in her eyes, "From this point of view... if our fifth team suddenly rises in the auditions, will it... end up the same as that team at that time?!"
At the end of her words, Bella couldn't help but frown, her face full of worry.
"I'm afraid it's very likely." Li Jiu nodded with a helpless smile on his face.
Originally, I just wanted to participate in a competition peacefully and get the title of God of War for fun... But now it seems that let alone the title of God of War, I'm afraid even this small district-level elite title is not easy to get...
Although Li Jiu was not afraid of his opponents in the competition, he was also worried that someone would do something to him in secret. After all, as the saying goes, it is easy to dodge an open attack, but it is hard to guard against a covert attack...
"Hmph, no matter what, I must get the title of God of War. At most, I can just deal with it as it comes..." Li Jiu secretly clenched his fists, with a determined look in his eyes...
Afterwards, Li Jiu and his companions drove for about half an hour and finally arrived at the dedicated competition venue in the eastern suburbs.
Before getting out of the car, Li Jiu saw the appearance of the competition venue through the car window on the road.
From the appearance, the competition venue looks like a huge inverted cone, and the overall color is silver-gray.
What is surprising is that this huge conical building, which is more than ten football fields in size, is actually suspended in mid-air, at least twenty or thirty meters above the ground.
