Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 7 7 Ranger Killer

When Wes finally moved the tree trunk that blocked the way and came back, the seriously injured bandit lying on the ground humming was silent.

It wasn't that Tang Mo made up the knife, but that the other party bled too much and quickly lost consciousness.In this era, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines, and if the internal organs are pierced by muskets, there is nothing to save even if they are not killed immediately.

This is not a battlefield, but there is a disgusting smell.The insects sounded again around, and everything seemed to be returning to silence.

The smell of gunpowder smoke became weaker, and it could no longer cover up the smell of blood scattered on the ground.Wes looked at the corpses lying on the ground in a mess under the light, and he hadn't shaken off the shock just now.

In the past, he didn't bother to do odd jobs such as removing roadblocks, that's something only scumbags would do.

But today, after hearing Tang Mo's order, he moved his legs involuntarily. He was sweating profusely from moving the tree trunk, and he didn't dare to come back and call Tang Mo and Roger for help.

At this moment, when he came back and saw the corpses under his feet, he still felt unreal.

A terrifying weapon that fires five shots in a row!Damn it... he even thought of the name of this weapon when he moved the tree - Ranger Killer!
If this kind of weapon spreads out, people like him may really have no way out.Anyone can do the work of a mercenary in the future, just buy a weapon like this!

"Wes!..." It was Tang Mo who spoke first, breaking the silence of the night: "I hope you don't tell Lord Earl what happened today."

"Why...why." Weiss was taken aback. He looked at Tang Mo, and suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was a little unfathomable.

According to the vague script in his mind just now, shouldn't it be like this: What Tang Mo actually wants to present is this secret weapon capable of firing five shots in a row. It unfolded extremely smoothly.

Did he still use his imagination to make up what happened later?This weapon will immediately appear on the battlefield. As the war breaks out and spreads, Cyric will imitate it on a large scale immediately, sell it at a low price, seize the market, and crush all competitors.

Although the ending is doomed, Tang Mo will earn more gold coins than he can spend in several lifetimes before being overwhelmed... Isn't this his purpose?
But what he never expected was that Tang Mo actually... actually asked him not to tell the Earl about this secret weapon?What the hell kind of operation is this?

"I just made this thing a few days ago, and it's not yet a mature product that can be sold." Tang Mo explained, "I went to Mr. Earl's place this time to sell the K1 fast gun, so I don't want to make any trouble."

"Before you said that you were willing to stay and work for me...I think it's time to talk about it." Tang Mo glanced at Wes, and continued, "Since you said you have loyalty, then I I want you to give it to me now."

If it was before, Weiss would have been very relaxed when accepting such a deal. He would smile and say to his employer, thank you for your trust, and I will not let you down.

In fact, he does have credibility, which is the criterion by which he lives.However, he was silent now, staring at the young man standing in front of the carriage under the slightly trembling gas lamp light.

"What? Weren't you very good at talking before?" Tang Mo broke the silence again and asked first.

"This is a very dangerous job, but I think the rewards must be huge." Weiss said heavily, looking at Tang Mo intently, and said, "I'm wondering if I'm lucky enough to get my share reward."

"I can wait a little longer." Tang Mo shrugged.

"Okay, I'm willing to help you!" Weiss put his hand on his chest, bowed slightly and solemnly said: "From this moment on, I am no longer a ranger, I will be your knight."

"Very good! My knight, let's go. We have to reach North Ridge tomorrow morning. The road more than 100 miles is not easy." Tang Mo turned and jumped into the carriage, and put the one with an arrow on it. The door is closed.

Tang Mo wouldn't believe it if someone in this world could really judge another person's future by relying on their facial features.

What he prefers to believe is data analysis, a comprehensive evaluation obtained after making trade-offs based on facts and interests.

So Tang Mo knew that Weiss' willingness to stay and work for him was definitely not because he saw Tang Mo's regal appearance.If the other party stays, it is more of a bet on a future, a future.

No matter from which point of view, the K1 fast gun developed by Tang Mo must represent the future direction of weapon development, and the secret weapon revolver in his hand is also a bargaining chip.

As long as he joins Tang Mo's forces early, he will definitely gain more benefits when Tang Mo rises.This is why Weiss was tempted and why he finally decided to join.

This kind of behavior of burning cold stoves is actually not difficult to understand. It is similar to investment. As long as everything goes well, you can make a lot of money.

So... what if Tang Mo fails?
Of course, there is nothing surprising, it is just an investment failure.Tang Mo felt that when that time really came, Weiss would definitely distance himself from Tang Mo without hesitation, and throw his bullshit loyalty to the trash dump—by then he wouldn't have any problems, and he wouldn't be affected. what implicated.

For Weiss personally, this is a sure-fire deal, but for Tang Mo, he doesn't really care.

Anyway, I also need help from someone like Weiss who is well-informed and skilled. What's more, Tang Mo has always wanted to find a security guard for the workshop.

As for loyalty, what a joke!Tang Mo is not a child, he doesn't believe in the so-called loyalty, he just needs Wes to provide him with some security when facing the thieves - just like just now.

Old Roger was a blacksmith, and a good engineer, but he wasn't a good fighter.This can be clearly seen from the encounter just now. Old Roger, who was only responsible for loading ammunition at that time, his hands were shaking!
It is reassuring for such a confidant to help manage the company, arrange production or even participate in the work himself, but it is obviously a bit difficult for him to follow him to face danger.

If Tang Mo had another choice, he wouldn't let old Roger follow him to take risks in the Vicious Forest.But there was no way, Tang Mo really couldn't find a suitable person to be his follower.

Although Weiss is still not competent for this job in a short period of time, it is obvious that with Weiss around, some small-scale conflicts, at least there is no need to embarrass old Roger anymore.

Weiss bowed slightly, watched Tang Mo get into the carriage, and went to prepare the carriage again.Only then did he remember that during the sound of gunfire just now, the two horses pulling the cart didn't even neigh nervously.

But then he was relieved. The horses in the munitions workshop often heard gunshots, and they might be used to it...

He really guessed right. When Tang Mo was experimenting with weapons, he would often be next to the stables. On the one hand, he was training the horses to get used to the gunshots, and on the other hand, it was also because there was really no other place in the workshop for him to use them.

The carriage was on the road again, and no one cared about the corpses left on the side of the road.This era is like this, there are such unlucky people everywhere in the wilderness.Some belonged to passing merchants, some belonged to robbers blocking the way...who cares?

Tang Mo sat on the slightly bumpy and rickety carriage, while loading new ammunition into his revolver, while smiling at the blushing Roger.

Although Roger boasted that when he was young, he faced three robbers alone without changing his face, but now it seems that these words are obviously not true.

The battle just now revealed old Roger's true colors. In fact, he has never experienced a real battle.Just now his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't even load the bullets into the barrel of the gun.

You know, his hands are actually very steady, and they are even more reliable than machine tools when grinding parts.But it was such a pair of hands that trembled violently just now.

"Leave this kind of thing to us in the future." Tang Mo stuffed a bullet into the magazine through the preset gap in the front, and then used the pressing rod under the barrel to compact the ammunition.

Then he turned the cylinder and began to clean the second empty cylinder, which still had residual paper shells and impurities that had not completely burned.

Before the invention of metal bullet casings, loading ammunition into firearms was actually a very troublesome thing.Even if Tang Mo can create a revolver that fires continuously, it can't change this law.

Only when the smokeless gunpowder that can burn quickly and leave almost no impurities is developed and loaded into metal fixed-loaded ammunition, the continuous shooting of weapons in the true sense will have practical significance.

The method of firing continuously and then directly loading new ammunition is almost the same as killing people nowadays-there will be residues in the cylinder or the chamber, which will affect the firing of the bullets, cause misfires, and cause Exploding the chamber will result in duds...

Throughout the ages, how to take care of weapons has been part of military training. The more you take care of your weapon, the more it will help your owner gain an advantage on the battlefield.

Therefore, ancient warriors used oil to wipe and polish their long swords, and later soldiers had to use oil and brushes to maintain their bolts and barrels.

"I'm old, and you young people will rule the world from now on." Old Roger said with some embarrassment.

"No, Uncle Roger, you will soon find that you are busier than now." Tang Mo joked with Roger while repeating the tedious operation again and again to load new bullets into the cylinder .

In a sense, this new type of revolver is actually a semi-finished product that takes [-] seconds of comfort and half an hour of discomfort.

Because of the immaturity of the ammunition, it cannot yet become a truly epoch-making weapon.But Tang Mo will soon use his golden finger to make smokeless gunpowder, so newer weapons will appear soon, changing the existing rules of war.
