Chapter 161: Resettlement and Restart

Wang Qing did not abandon these men, perhaps because he could not bear it, or perhaps because he received the 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 these 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 local county magistrate and local snakes would give him "convenience". 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 the things can be delivered to the target location on time.

He told them part of the truth truthfully, concealed some things that they could not 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 cremation was held. The soldiers were instructed to hand over the pension to the families of the soldiers who died.

After Wang Qing was exiled from the Momen Center, he lived a hard life, 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 outside the door, but no one dared to open the door to look out, fearing that they would be in trouble. The three earth vein cores were also placed safely in the square.

Combined with the garbage system and management efficiency of this era, the mistakes accumulated by this state machine in the thousand-year time flow have not been eliminated, and it is unknown how many years will pass before the Rangers discover what they have done.

And if Wang Qing takes these three earth vein cores, these Rangers will really be guilty of capital crimes. If the Rangers are unwilling, he cannot directly take the earth vein cores from these ninety Rangers.

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

They still have a glimmer of hope, and they can continue to serve in the army if they hide their past, but...

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

He could also roughly guess that it was nothing more than those noble mechanical masters who were connected with the royal family and the nobles.

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

"If there is no problem, take those earth vein cores and go."

He sighed and looked at the rangers lined up in front of him.

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

Until a ranger asked, he didn't know how to address Wang Qing, so he simply addressed him as "Sir".

The remaining rangers here were all good families born among the common people, and their composition was unusually uniform.

Although the rangers were a relatively elite force, they still couldn't compete head-on with the mechanical beasts...They couldn't run, nor could they fight, which was even more desperate.

If they were nobles, landlords, or bureaucrats, they could at least become a centurion, but they would probably be unwilling to become a sergeant. Instead of being a squad leader, he would eat and live with the soldiers, and have no private space, just a senior soldier.

"Will you come with me? I can't guarantee your safety."

Wang Qing shook his head, and his words revealed an apology.

He was alone, and could take at most two people with him, and he could move freely, but once there were more people, the risk would increase exponentially.

The core was sent to Momen, and they brought three cores that were not registered to Momen. That would be... It seems that it is not impossible, but they must 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 room for maneuver.

That might be a better choice than letting them leave.

"Captain Wang, I am the only one in my family. My whole family died in a natural disaster. I joined the army at the age of fifteen, and I 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 not willing to go, get double the money and go their separate ways."

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

"Instead of returning to the barracks to continue the military, it is better to hide your identity and come to Momen as a guard. I still have some face, but I don't know if it will be safe on the road."

He really didn't have the confidence to protect them all the way.

The rangers were also thinking about Wang Qing's advice to them. It was not bad to use the three earth 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.

They are just here to make a living, but they are doing better.

There is no army with equal personality. There is no respect for each other. Once a soldier, always a soldier. How can they recognize honor?

Compared to continuing their military career in fear, with the risk of being discovered, hiding their identities and being a guard is a good choice for them. Many veterans will work as guards for wealthy families to earn a living after retiring from the army.

The other party also told them everything he could say, sincerely and sincerely, and life would not be too bad with such a new boss.

A few people were obviously tempted to take the money and leave directly, but seeing that the squad leaders did not move, they naturally did not dare to react.

The next day.

The remaining ninety rangers geared up, reloaded the earth vein core, and bought another car 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 using the new map.
