When Weiss finally moved the tree trunk blocking the road and returned, the seriously injured bandit lying on the ground groaning had stopped moving.
It wasn't that Tang Mo patched up the knife, but that the other party suffered too much bleeding and soon lost consciousness. In this era, there was a lack of medical treatment and medicine. If the internal organs were penetrated by a musket, even if he didn't die immediately, there was nothing that could be saved.
This is not a battlefield, but there is a nauseating smell permeating the air. The sound of insects is heard all around again, and everything seems to be returning to silence.
The smell of gunpowder smoke became lighter and could no longer cover up the smell of blood scattered on the ground. Weiss looked at the bodies lying on the ground scattered under the light, and had not yet shaken off the shock.
In the past, he didn't bother to do odd jobs like moving roadblocks. That was something only minions would do.
But today, after hearing Tang Mo's order, his legs moved involuntarily. He was sweating profusely trying to move the tree trunk away and did not dare to come back and call Tang Mo and Luo Jie for help.
At this moment, when he came back and saw these corpses at his feet, he still had an unreal feeling.
A terrifying weapon that shoots five times in a row! Hell... he even thought of the name for this weapon when he was moving the tree - Ranger Killer!
If this kind of weapon spreads, people like him may really have no way to survive. From now on, anyone can do the job of a mercenary, just buy one of these weapons!
"Wes!..." Tang Mo spoke first, breaking the silence of the night: "I hope you won't tell the earl what happened today."
"Why...why." Weiss was stunned. 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, shouldn't it be like this: What Tang Mo actually wants to present is this secret weapon that can fire five shots in a row. Of course, the earl will be ecstatic, and the cooperation between the two will
Very smoothly unfolded.
Does he still have to think about what happens next? This kind of weapon will immediately appear on the battlefield. As the war breaks out and spreads, Cyric will immediately imitate it on a large scale and sell it at a low price to seize the market and crush it.
All competitors.
Although the outcome has been decided, Tang Mo will earn more gold coins than he can spend in several lifetimes before he is crushed... Isn't this his purpose?
But what he never expected was that Tang Mo actually... asked him not to tell the count about this secret weapon? What the hell kind of operation was this?
"I just made this thing a few days ago. It's not a mature product that can be sold yet." Tang Mo explained: "This time I went to Lord Earl to sell the K1 fast gun, so I didn't want to get into trouble."
"You said before that you were willing to stay and work for me... I think it's time to talk about this matter." Tang Mo glanced at Weiss and continued: "Since you said you have loyalty, then I
I hope you'll give it to me now."
If it were before, Wes would have been very relaxed when accepting such a deal. He would have smiled and said to his employer, thank you for your trust and I will not let you down.
In fact, he does have great credibility, which is the criterion for his survival. However, he is silent now, staring at the young man standing in front of the carriage under the slightly trembling gas light.
"What? Weren't you very eloquent 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 solemnly, 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 serve you!" Weiss put his hand on his chest, bowed slightly and said solemnly: "From this moment on, I am no longer a ranger, I will become your knight."
"Very good! My knight, let's go. We have to rush to Beiling tomorrow morning. The road of more than a hundred miles is not easy to walk." Tang Mo turned around and jumped on the carriage, holding the one with an arrow stuck on it.
The car door is closed.
If someone in this world could really judge another person's future based on their appearance, Tang Mo didn't believe it.
What he prefers to believe is data analysis, a comprehensive evaluation based on facts and interests.
So Tang Mo knew that the reason why Weiss was willing to stay and work for him was definitely not because he saw any imperial appearance in Tang Mo. The reason why the other party stayed was more of a gamble on his future.
No matter from which aspect you look at it, the K1 fast gun developed by Tang Mo must represent the future direction of weapon development. The secret weapon revolver in his hand is also a bargaining chip.
As long as you join Tang Mo's forces early, you will definitely get more benefits when Tang Mo rises. This is the reason why Weiss was tempted, and also the reason why he finally decided to join.
This kind of behavior of burning a cold stove is actually not difficult to understand. It is similar to investing. As long as everything goes well, you can make a lot of money.
So... what if Tang Mo fails?
Of course, there's nothing surprising, it's just an investment failure. Tang Mo feels that when that time comes, Weiss will definitely sever the relationship with Tang Mo without hesitation and throw the bullshit loyalty into the garbage heap -
- Then he won't have any problems or be implicated.
For Weiss personally, this was a sure-profit deal, but for Tang Mo, he actually didn't care.
Anyway, I also need the help of 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. Weiss came to the door himself, which can be regarded as making the best use of it.
As for loyalty, what a joke! Tang Mo is not a child. He doesn't believe in so-called loyalty. He only needs Weiss to provide him with some security when facing the thieves - just like what he did just now.
Old Roger is a blacksmith and a good engineer, but he is not a qualified soldier. This can be seen clearly from the encounter just now. At that time, Old Roger, who was only responsible for loading ammunition, had all his hands
Tremble!
It is reassuring to have such a confidant help manage the company, arrange production, and even participate in the work himself, but asking him to face danger with him is obviously a bit overwhelming.
If Tang Mo had another choice, he would not let Old Roger follow him to adventure in the Vicious Forest. But there was no way, Tang Mo really couldn't find a suitable person to be his follower.
Although Wes is still not qualified for this job in a short period of time, it is obvious that with Wes here, some small-scale conflicts will at least no longer embarrass old Roger.
Weiss leaned forward slightly and watched Tang Mo get on the bus before going to prepare the carriage again. Only then did he remember that during the gunfire just now, the two horses pulling the carriage did not neigh nervously.
But then he felt relieved. The horses in the arms workshop often heard the sound of gunshots, maybe they were used to it...
He guessed correctly. When Tang Mo was experimenting with weapons, he was often next to the stable. On the one hand, he was training the horses to get used to the sound of gunfire, and on the other hand, it was also because there was really no other place in the workshop where he could use it.
The carriage once again hit the road, and no one cared about the corpses left on the roadside. This is how it is in this era. There are such unlucky people everywhere in the wilderness. Some belong to passing businessmen, and some belong to robbers who blocked the road... Who?
Are you concerned about this again?
Tang Mo was sitting on the slightly bumpy carriage, loading new ammunition into his revolver, and looking at Roger who was blushing with a smile.
Although Roger boasted that when he was young, he had faced three robbers alone without changing his expression, but now it seems that these words are obviously untrue.
The battle just now revealed old Roger's true colors. He had never experienced a real battle. His hands were shaking so much just now that he couldn't even load a bullet into the gun chamber.
You know, his hands are actually very stable, and they are even more reliable than machine tools when grinding parts. But these hands were shaking violently just now.
"Leave this kind of thing to us from now on." Tang Mo inserted a bullet into the magazine through the preset gap in front, and then pressed the ammunition with the pressure rod under the barrel.
Then he turned the bullet nest and began to clean the second empty bullet nest, which still had remaining paper shells and incompletely burned impurities.
Before the invention of metal bullet cases, loading ammunition for firearms was actually a very troublesome matter. Even if Tang Mo could make a revolver that fires continuously, he could not change this law.
Only when smokeless gunpowder that can burn quickly and leave almost no impurities is developed and loaded into metal fixed-loading ammunition can the weapon's true continuous shooting have practical significance.
The practice of continuously firing and then directly loading new ammunition is almost the same as seeking death nowadays - there will be residues in the bullet chamber or chamber, which will affect the firing of the bullet, lead to misfire, and cause
Exploding the chamber will lead to duds...
Throughout the ages, how to take care of weapons has been part of military training. The more carefully you take care of your weapon, the more it can help its owner gain an advantage on the battlefield.
Therefore, ancient warriors wiped and polished their long swords with oil, and later soldiers used oil and brushes to maintain the bolts and chambers of their guns.
"I'm old, and from now on you young people will rule the world." Old Roger said with some embarrassment.
"No, Uncle Roger, you will soon find that you are busier than you are now." Tang Mo joked with Roger while repeating the tedious operation again, loading new bullets into the magazine.
.
In a sense, this new revolver is actually a semi-finished product that lasts twenty seconds of pleasure and half an hour of discomfort.
Because of the immaturity of the ammunition, it cannot yet become a truly epoch-making weapon. However, Tang Mo will soon use his golden finger to develop smokeless gunpowder, so newer weapons will appear soon, changing the existing
