The next day, Razlov gave the reward he promised to those who have done requests in his absence and then he asks them if their own families have already decided to migrate to Kurlian Island, as it would it be convenient in that way so that they wouldn't need to visit Sanloris every time they miss and wants to visit their families. Then they told Razlov that their families agreed to it that even their older siblings that already have families of their own decided to also migrate to Kurlian Island.
Razlov easily agreed to their siblings who already have their own families migrating to Kurlian Island. Because in the future when they already have their own manufacturing capabilities, they would need all the necessary manpower to help them manufacture weapons and ammunition cause they could not always rely on the system Item shop.
He told them that the migration plan will start a month from now on at the 2nd month of Ferina. Because right now Kurlian Island has no living space and they would still need to build houses to those who are planning to migrate. They would first need to send men of each respective families to help out building the houses. When the houses are already built it would then the start for the rest of their families to migrate to Kurlian Island.
Those soldiers whose families have already agreed in migrating to Kurlian Island nodded in approval of what their Commander had said. While those soldiers who haven't discuss it with their families about the plan on migrating to Kurlian Island asks Razlov if they could leave and visit their families to discuss the plan on migrating to the island and Razlov gave his approval.
In the end, all their families decided to migrate to Kurlian Island. So Razlov started considering on how building the houses, he doesn't have a problem with adhesive since he could acquire cement in the system's Item shop, the real problem is he doesn't know how to build houses like designs for the house for it be sturdy or setting its foundation, there's also the issue of bricks as he doesn't know how to make them and so Razlov decided to hire an expert.
He is also considering giving them ways to earn money as they require supplies that are not available on the island since Kurlian Island is far from Sanloris. They can use the money they've earned to buy what they need at Sanloris as they could also board the patrol boat when the helpers are going to Sanloris to resupply.
With the knowledge from his previous life, Razlov could introduce many different ways to earn money or like those people from his previous life that initiate and teach livelihood programs to poor people.
But that's all for now and he will decide later when the construction has already started since he still needs to observe the state of affairs during construction of the houses.

After Adam and Lecia's team turn, it is now time for Mark and Nelson's teams to test their capabilities through a live-fire exercise while Adam and Lecia's team went back to the island.
But before they departed, Razlov had already converted 1000 gold coins to CP and use it all up to buy the needed amount of ammunition and fuels for the patrol boat to let the departing teams carry and load it unto the patrol boat; Razlov was left with remaining funds of 1140 gold coins. He also instructed the two helpers to let the departing teams try operating the boat and firing the guns at a limited amount of ammo just like how he did let them try, he also told Adam and Lecia's teams to listen to the instruction of the two helpers since they already knew the things to know.
For the past 5 days, Mark and Nelson's teams got their turn to be tested through live-fire exercise as Razlov followed and observed them. And just like the two previous teams, everything went smoothly that they have finished their jobs without even taking a day long to complete the job. The only reason why it had taken 5 days for them to complete the two jobs was because of the distance of where the targets are.
From the reward of completing the request to selling the goods to Wally, Razlov manage to acquire 1700 golds coins plus 1140 he now has a total of 2840 gold coins.
Razlov keeps nodding as he counts the gold coins while having thoughts ' Targeting big group of bandit's really earned us a lot maybe we should just keep hunting them down' and soon as he thought of hunting down big groups of bandits, he shook that notion instantly since it is not practical to keep doing that. In the end, it would only scare the other group of bandit's that they will either go into hiding or completely disband their group; so obviously, it's not the right choice of action they should take.
'Hmm, what we should do right now is get contracts from big clients since we would surely earn big from working with them'
"Nelson!"
As Razlov was murmuring while walking away from Wally's place back to the Inn, Razlov suddenly called out to Nelson who was with him to sell the goods to Wally along with Mark. Nelson who was startled at the sudden call.
"Y~Yes, Commander"
"Since you look knowledgable, what do you think we should do to attract big clients and how should we do it?"
Nelson pondered for a moment before he answers Razlov's question.
"I think we should first make a name for ourselves, regarding how we should do it. Um, I'm sorry Commander, don't have any idea that comes to my mind"
Nelson's head was hanged low in the disappointment of not being able to answer Razlov's question.
"Don't worry about it, I was just casually asking"
Razlov gave Nelson a reassuring smile making Nelson recover from his disappointed state, he then apologizes again. Razlov then looks at the other person along with them; Mark.
"How about you Mark, how do you think can we make a name for ourselves?"
"We just have to complete all the request in the guild and with that, we could at least grab some attention of one or two clients"
Even though Mark had just said it casually and without even thinking deeply into it. It made Razlov pondered for a bit.
'That's right since we have no other option right at the moment, we just have to rake in some reputation by completing various requests at the guild and at some point in time we would surely get noticed by clients that will hire us'
Razlov realized that what Mark said is a viable option for them to take and as he thinks about it for a bit, they're mercenary group had just started and there are no wars at the moment for quickly making a name for themselves, so their only option left is to slowly build up their reputation in the mercenary world.
Razlov then looks at the two; Mark and Nelson.
"Mark said is right, our group had just started to work on this field so it's no question that no one knows us yet, so we could only make a name for ourselves by completing various request at the guild"
"So from tomorrow onwards, we will have to get busy as we will take in request after request until our name spreads out in the whole town of Sanloris and if it's still not enough, we can just go to neighboring towns or cities"
"Now let's get back to the Inn as we still need to prepare and contact Selov base for reinforcement"
[Author note: Selov base is the new name of the Army Boot Camp and I have already mentioned this in a few chapters before. I have decided to use this name from now on]
