Wilderness Redemption Tour

After listening to Hosea's explanation, Lin Yan's own understanding immediately emerged in his mind.

If the Van der Linde Gang were a company, then Dutch would be the equivalent of the company's chairman. The chairman announced a set of rules and regulations, and if the employees below followed them, the company would run smoothly. But if some people felt that there was something wrong with the rules and regulations, and not only did they not follow them, but they also acted according to their own ideas, then if there were no problems with the company, it would be fine. But if there were problems, it would definitely be a big problem, and it would be uncertain whether the company could still exist.

"Oh... I understand." Lin Yan nodded and dispelled his previous thoughts.

"So, even though we're worried about their safety, there's nothing we can do at this moment?" he asked.

Hearing this, Hosea paused and lowered his voice and said, "It's not like we can't do anything. We can still make some necessary preparations."

"Ah? What preparations?" Lin Yan asked curiously.

He Xia pulled Lin Yan to the side for a few steps before saying, "Although we can't follow them to the scene, we can still provide support. We can do this later..."

Lin Yan nodded repeatedly while listening, and finally he asked, "Are we the only two going?"

"No." Hosea shook his head and said, "My body doesn't allow me to go anymore. You can call Lenny, Sean, Charles and John."

"Yeah!" Lin Yan nodded vigorously.

After a quick meal, Arthur followed Dutchmica on his way out. Cape Clemens was not close to their destination, so as the "security officer" for this operation, Arthur had to find a location and make preparations in advance.

After these three people left, Lin Yan and Hosea gathered Sean, Lenny, Charles and John together.

Before Hosea could finish explaining the details, Sean agreed first.

"Haha... I was just wondering why no one else reacted at all. Turns out they were waiting here. Count me in, I've disliked that villain Micah for a long time. This must be a conspiracy between him and Colm."

When Sean said this, Lenny and John nodded in unison and said, "Yes, this is very strange."

Of the four, only Charles shook his head uncertainly and said, "Although Micah may be a bit foul-mouthed, he is still a member of the gang after all. There is no reason for him to plot against Dutch with outsiders at this time."

"Of course there is no reason. The money from Blackwater Town is the biggest reason." Sean retorted: "That villain must have reached some kind of agreement with Colm."

"Micah is not as simple as you think." Hosea gave his opinion. "Colm is not a good person. Micah doesn't need to risk not getting a penny by cooperating with him."

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about the location of the reinforcements."

Hosea took out a map and pointed to the Lumei Creek at the border of New Hanover and Lemoyne, and said, "If something unexpected happens, Dutch will definitely return to Lemoyne, and he will most likely not take the normal route, so I think it is most likely that Dutch will return from this route."

Hosea pointed out a shortcut that was more ups and downs but closest to Dewme Creek.

Lenny nodded thoughtfully. "The undulating terrain means it's hard to target, and it's also easier to throw off the enemy... I agree with Hosea. This is the place where we have the highest chance of running into Dutch and his men."

"Now that we've chosen the location, what are we waiting for? Let's go! Maybe Colm is already waiting at the meeting place to ambush Dutch." Sean said eagerly.

After Hosea received affirmative responses from other people, a five-member rescue team was officially formed and immediately set off for the designated location. Hosea, who stayed in the camp, was responsible for explaining to others the whereabouts of these people.

After arriving at the destination, Lin Yan took out his pocket watch and checked the time. It was 4:20 in the afternoon, and there was still about an hour before Dutch and Colm agreed to meet.

The location chosen by Hosea was very close to the fork of Lumei Creek, which was the place where Lin Yan met the German family when the gang moved. Perhaps because of the rain upstream, the riverbed of Lumei Creek was not as dry as Lin Yan saw last time, and the water depth was just above the horse's hooves. There was a row of sparse but lush trees beside the river on the Lemoyne side, and a green hill on the opposite side of New Hanover.

The forest provided good cover for Lin Yan's party, and the terrain, which was low in the north and high in the south, also gave them a wider field of vision. If someone came from the opposite side, they would be able to detect it in advance even if they were far away.

John rode on his horse, took out his telescope and looked across, and suggested: "I think it's better for us to spread out. Dutch and the others may appear anywhere ahead, and we should try to detect their movements as soon as possible."

"Oh... God, John! When did you become smart?" Sean widened his eyes when he heard John's suggestion and looked him up and down several times.

"Just a suggestion. There's no need to be so exaggerated, man." John made an international friendly gesture to Sean.

"Hehe...it seems that what Arthur said is right. The scar on your face has helped you to open your mind."

"Okay, stop arguing and get down to business." Lenny said, putting an end to a potential quarrel. "I think John's suggestion is very pertinent. Let's disperse now. How about 500 yards apart from each other?"

"I have no objection." Charles, who was carrying a longbow, replied.

"Me neither." Lin Yan also echoed.

Sean jumped off his horse and said, "I'll stay here. The rest of you can choose your own positions."

"I'll go to the left." "I'll go to the right"

After agreeing on the location, everyone except Sean went to their respective locations. Lin Yan and Charles went to the left, while Lenny and John went to the right.

Lin Yan's position was on the far left, almost next to the old Greenbank Mill. Here, Lin Yan found a short and sturdy tree, which was obviously not the same species as the other trees here.

Part of the tree was abnormally charred, as if it had been struck by lightning. The entire tree was bare and obviously dead.

Lin Yan chuckled, because he found that not only was the height of this tree suitable for distant views, but the unobstructed and unobstructed view after climbing up was simply tailor-made for this task.

Sitting on one of the branches, Lin Yan leaned against the tree trunk, took out a telescope from the space bag, and began to observe carefully.

As the sun gradually set, the bright green on the opposite hills was covered with a touch of gold. Lin Yan began to move the telescope in his hand more frequently.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on a hillside at the end of his sight.

Two figures appeared on the hill that was empty just now.
