Chapter 161: Resettlement and Restart

Wang Qing did not abandon these men, perhaps because he could not bear it, or perhaps because he received a letter from the mechanical bird. Ji Lin said that his travel expenses were still in his room, hoping that Wang Qing would give the money to the rangers who saved his life, and then give them the map.

Ji Lin carried an unusually large amount of travel expenses when he set out. These travel expenses were enough for 5,000 people to live comfortably for a year. A large part of this money was given to Ji Lin on the road, so that the county magistrate and the head snake at that time could "help" him. If the other party insisted on stopping them, it would be worthwhile to pay some money to avoid a fight.

If the leader is very powerful, the travel expenses saved will naturally go into his pocket.

The upper class only cares about whether things can be delivered to the target point on time.

He told them part of the truth, hid some things that they could know, and handed over all the money left by Ji Lin to them according to the letter. Nine soldiers died in the fierce battle that day. A simple funeral was held and cremated, and he was instructed to give the pension to the families of the soldiers who died.

Wang Qing lived a hard life after being demoted from the Momen Center, but he was not greedy for the money.

No attackers escaped that day, and the battle between the Rangers and the attackers would not be known to anyone. The residents around heard the shouting and killing at the door, and no one dared to open the door to look, for fear of being caught in a sudden disaster. The three vein cores were also placed safely in the square.

Combined with the garbage system and management efficiency of this era, no one has eliminated the mistakes accumulated in this state machine over the thousand years of time, and it will take many years to discover what these Rangers did.

If Wang Qing took these three vein cores, these rangers would be sentenced to death. The rangers were willing to take the vein cores directly from these ninety rangers.

Leave these three vein cores for them to take away and let them complete the mission.

They still have a chance to survive. They can continue to serve in the army after hiding their past, but they...

Wang Qing knew that from the moment they were attacked, they had already entered into a battle with the enemy and torn their faces.

They could also roughly guess that they were nothing more than the noble mechanical masters who were connected with the royal family and the nobles.

This was already a survival dead end. When they attacked, someone had to die.

"If there is no problem, take those vein cores and set off."

They sighed and looked at the rangers in front of them.

"Wang... Commander, I want to follow you."

Until a ranger asked, Wang Qing knew how to address him, so he simply called him Commander.

The remaining rangers here are all good-looking people from civilian families, and their composition is very uniform.

Although the rangers are relatively elite troops, they still cannot compete head-on with the mechanical beasts... They have run and fought before, which is even more despairing.

If they are from nobles or bureaucrats, they can at least become a centurion. They are probably willing to be a squad leader. As for the position of squad leader, they eat and live with the soldiers, and have no private space. They are just a senior soldier.

"Are you going with me? I can't guarantee your safety."

Wang Qing shook his head, and his words showed apology.

If you are alone, you can take at most two people, and you can move freely, but once there are more people, the risk will increase exponentially.

The core was sent to Momen, bringing three cores that were not registered. They really... seemed to be able to do it, but they had to take measures to conceal their identities.

Wang Qing thought about it, but he couldn't bear to abandon these soldiers from the bottom.

This journey was thousands of miles and took a long time, and there was no room for maneuver.

That might be a better choice than letting them leave.

"Commander Wang, there is only one person in your family. Your whole family died in the disaster. You joined the army at the age of fifteen. You don't know who to go to after getting the money."

Another ranger also spoke with a slightly bitter smile on his face.

"Those who are willing to go with me, pack up your equipment and leave tomorrow. Those who are willing to leave will receive double the money and go their separate ways."

Wang Qing thought about it and said so, giving them another option. If anyone wants to leave, he will not stop them.

"If you return to the barracks and continue the army, it would be better to hide your identity and serve as a guard in Momen. You will still have some face, but you will not know whether it is safe on the road."

I really don't have the confidence to protect them all the way.

The rangers also thought about Wang Qing's advice to them. It's not bad to use three vein cores and their own guarding merits as a token of surrender. As for honor... There is no such thing in this world, at least not for them. In the eyes of the nobles, they are just a group of soldiers.

We are just here to make a living, but we are better at it.

Talking about the army with equal personality, there is no respect for each other. Once a soldier, always a soldier, how can you recognize the honor?

Compared with continuing the military career with fear and fear, with the risk of being discovered, hiding your identity and being a guard is a wrong choice for them. Many veterans will work as guards for wealthy families to earn three meals a day after retiring from the army.

The other party also told them everything he could say, sincerely and sincerely, it would be too bad to follow such a new boss.

Some people obviously wanted to take the money and leave directly, but seeing that the sergeants did not move, they naturally did not dare to react.

The next day.

The remaining ninety rangers prepared themselves, reloaded the core of the scorpion into the truck, and bought another truck for Wang Qing and his men to hide their whereabouts. After putting on helmets, they became the most ordinary freight convoy in the world, and set off towards Momen with a new map.
