Volume 3: Rise of the God of War Chapter 530: Commemorating Brothers
Last night, the application to create a mercenary group was approved.
But the application only contained the mercenary group's number, and the name had not yet been determined.
So, next, Li Jiu only needs to decide on the name of the mercenary group before he can start formal operations.
"Let's go in and discuss it." Looking at Doug and the other three, Li Jiu said with a smile.
Although the name of the mercenary group is not important to the alliance government, they only need to determine the number of the mercenary group, but for Li Jiu, the name of the mercenary group is a symbol and must be carefully considered.
"Okay, okay, Brother Nine." Doug and the other three nodded.
Afterwards, the group walked into the main building of the villa.
…
In the living room of the main building, everyone sat on the sofa and began to discuss.
"Brother Nine, I think we should just call it the Clouded Leopard Mercenary Group?" Doug said first with a smile on his face, looking at the Clouded Leopard beside him.
"Oh? Clouded Leopard..." Li Jiu was a little surprised. He looked at Doug and Clouded Leopard and asked, "Doug, why is it named after Clouded Leopard?"
Although Li Jiu also knew that many mercenary groups in the alliance were named directly after people, he was curious why Doug recommended naming them after clouded leopards instead of his own.
"Hey, Brother Nine, I know that." Quinn answered first, unwilling to be left out.
"Haha, then tell me about it." Li Jiu asked with a smile.
"It's very simple. In our group, Yunbao is the most popular guy right now." Quinn looked at Yunbao with some envy and said, "Of the thirty mercenaries we recruited last time, twenty-two were Chinese. Therefore, compared to Doug and me, they support Yunbao more."
"Brother Jiu, actually those mercenaries like to follow me not only for this reason, but mainly because they all like to learn martial arts from me." The dark-skinned clouded leopard said modestly, "But if we compare prestige, Doug still has the highest. I think it's okay to call the mercenary group Doug."
"So that's how it is... I understand." Li Jiu nodded, then thought for a while and said, "Actually, whether he's called Clouded Leopard, Doug, or even Quinn, it's all fine."
"After all, our first batch of mercenaries were trained by the three of you." Li Jiu went on to explain: "You have all made contributions to the mercenary group. It is indeed meaningful to honor them with your names."
" But I have a small request, and I hope you can agree." Li Jiu changed the subject.
"Brother Jiu, you are the one who established this mercenary group. Whatever you say is what we will do. We will definitely execute it unconditionally."
"Yes, Brother Nine, you don't even need to ask for our consent, just give the order directly."
"Yes, Brother Jiu, just tell me."
Doug and the other two spoke quickly, while Lin Zhen sat aside, watching them discuss with a smile, but did not interrupt. After all, he had just arrived and it was not in his position to say much.
"Haha, OK, I'll tell you then." Li Jiu nodded and said, "I have a brother named Lei Zi. In a mission not long ago, he was trying to cover the evacuation of his teammates, but he failed to return and his life or death is still unknown. So, I hope that the name of our mercenary group can contain the word 'Lei' to commemorate my brother."
"Damn it! No objection, I absolutely agree!" Quinn immediately said solemnly: "The people I admire most in my life are those who are willing to go through fire and water for their brothers. Brother Lei Zi is definitely worth commemorating!"
"Yeah, Quinn is right." Clouded Leopard nodded.
"We all agree." Doug also had no objection.
"Well, in that case, I think our mercenary group should be called... the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group!" Li Jiu smiled slightly and nodded.
"Thunder Leopard? What a great name!"
"Yes, combining the names of Brother Lei Zi and Clouded Leopard also sounds very loud."
"Well, let's call him Lei Bao!"
Doug and others nodded excitedly in response.
In this way, the "Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group" was established...
After deciding on the name of the mercenary group, Li Jiu and his team also made a group emblem for the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group, which looked like a cheetah with lightning wrapped around its body.
"Brother Jiu, now that the name of the mercenary group has been decided, the next step is to expand the number of mercenaries and the size of the base." Doug continued, "Do you think we should continue to recruit new soldiers in this civilian area, and choose another place to build a base?"
Now the Thunder Leopard Mercenary Group is considered a one-star mercenary group. According to regulations, it can recruit 100 combat mercenaries and a number of service personnel.
Now, there are only more than 30 people in the villa, including Li Jiu and his men, so it is naturally necessary to expand the manpower.
In addition, although the area of this villa is not small and it is not a big problem to accommodate more than a hundred people, if training is to be carried out, the space is a little insufficient, so the scale of the base needs to be expanded again.
"No." Li Jiu smiled calmly and shook his head. "In the future, if it is not necessary, we don't have to go to the civilian area to recruit mercenaries."
"Now in the alliance, most of the mercenary groups rely mainly on clone warriors to replenish their manpower. Doing so not only saves a lot of trouble , but if we are lucky, we may even be able to get a few awakened ones. Therefore, in the future, our manpower will also have to be replenished by purchasing clone warriors." Li Jiu explained.
"As for the base issue, we don't have to choose another location."
"I think this place is good. It is located in the suburbs and in the wilderness. It is a certain distance away from the nearest civilian area. So, next, we just need to buy more land in this wilderness and expand the base deeper into the wilderness. It will be enough for us to use." Li Jiu said slowly.
"Okay, Brother Nine, we got it." Doug and others responded.
"But Brother Jiu, there is one last question now..." Doug suddenly frowned and said.
"Huh? What's wrong, Doug? Just tell me if you have anything to say." Li Jiu asked curiously.
"That's right, Brother Jiu. You know the identities of the three of us..." Doug looked at Quinn and Cloud Leopard and said with embarrassment, "I'm afraid that after the mercenary group officially starts operating, we won't be able to play any role. After all, due to our identity issues, I'm afraid we can't become mercenaries."
Quinn and Clouded Leopard also nodded sadly.
The three of them were now like illegal immigrants in the alliance. If they wanted to become a mercenary group, they had to be implanted with the Ares system, which would expose their identities.
"Haha, don't worry, I now have a way to solve this problem." Unexpectedly, Li Jiu smiled indifferently and said indifferently.
