Wilderness Redemption Tour
Chapter 111: Promises are like knives
After Lenny came over, everyone learned what had happened from him.
It turned out that after Dutch and Micah separated, only four or five people chose to continue to follow Micah. Before he and John made a move, Micah saw the opportunity and killed two of them. The remaining three people did not fight them head-on. After a bluffing shooting, the group chose to escape.
He and John wanted to let these people go, but Micah saw the situation reversed and insisted on saving his face. He followed these people closely, shouting that he wanted to kill these bastards. Seeing Micah like this, he and John had to follow. During the pursuit, two of the three people who escaped were hit by Micah and fell off their horses, killing them on the spot. The last person accidentally fell off his horse because his horse lost control and only broke an arm. Just when Micah caught up with the man and was about to kill him, the other person shouted that he was willing to tell Micah the whereabouts of Arthur, just asking Micah to let him go.
Hearing this, Dutch asked solemnly, "That person said Arthur was captured by them?"
No one else expected that Arthur would be caught by the O'Driscoll Gang, and Sean anxiously urged Lenny to continue.
Lenny licked his lips and continued, "Micah thought the other party was playing a trick on him, but John and I decided to listen to what the man had to say first, so Micah let him live for the time being."
Seeing that Lenny stopped talking here, Sean urged again: "And then? Can you please stop keeping us in suspense? We are all waiting!"
"That's all." Lenny spread his hands and said, "That man said that he would only tell us if his life was guaranteed. The three of us don't have the final say on this matter. Dutch must promise in person to spare his life."
After hearing what Lenny said, everyone looked at Dutch, waiting for him to express his opinion.
Dutch hesitated for a moment, then said calmly, "Let's go over and hear what he has to say."
Under Lenny's guidance, Lin Yan met the "coward" he had mentioned. This was a man about his age, sitting on the grass, his right arm hanging loosely, and his face clearly showing signs of having been beaten.
Micah saw Dutch coming and quickly came over. "Dutch, I think this guy must be Colm's second plan. If we believe him, we will definitely be ambushed again."
Dutch looked down at Micah without saying anything. After getting off his horse, he walked up to the man, looked him in the eyes, and asked, "You said you captured Arthur. Then I ask you, where did you capture Arthur?"
"puff!"
The man spat out a mouthful of blood, raised his left arm in pain, pointed a finger at a hill not far away, and said in a hoarse voice: "On that hill. He was lying on the edge of the hill, holding a rifle to check on you and our boss... Colm's meeting. I happened to see one of our men halfway up the mountain and quietly went over to knock him out."
"Charles." After hearing what the other party said, Dutch turned to look at Charles. "Go to the place he said now and see if what he said is true."
"Yeah." Charles turned around without hesitation, mounted his horse and headed straight for the hill in the distance.
Seeing Dutch's cautious look, the man covered his injured right arm and smiled bitterly. "Hehe... My life is in your hands now, and you are still worried that I will cheat you?"
Dutch found a smooth stone not far from him and sat down. He dusted himself off and said, "I originally thought Colm had regained some conscience over the years, but my experience with him just now tells me that I'd better be careful when dealing with this thoroughly sinister villain."
Seeing Dutch sit down patiently, the others also sat or stood, watching Charles's receding back.
But Lin Yan was not too worried about this. Obviously, it was definitely not the end of the game yet. Even if Arthur was really caught, how could he, as the protagonist, go offline so easily?
Sitting cross-legged on the grass, Lin Yan took out his pocket watch and looked at the current time.
It is already past six o'clock in the afternoon. It was already dusk when we rescued Dutch just now. Now, the sky is getting darker with every passing minute.
Arthur is Dutch's right-hand man, why is Dutch not in a hurry at all? If we wait any longer, it will be dark. Will there be another night attack later? Feeling a little bored, Lin Yan pulled weeds while looking at Dutch sitting on a stone and smoking quietly, and his mind started to wander again.
When it was completely dark, Charles, who was sent by Dutch to scout, brought back his conclusions.
"Judging from the traces left on the top of the mountain, Arthur was indeed taken away without any resistance."
After hearing Charles' conclusion, Dutch closed his eyes, took a deep breath, stood up, threw away the half-empty cigar in his hand, and strode to the man who was almost semi-conscious.
After giving the other person a light kick and waiting for him to come back to his senses, Dutch said, "I agree to your terms. Tell me, where did you take Arthur?"
Hearing Dutch's promise, the man chuckled and weakly gave out a place name: "Lone Mule Farm."
"One Mule Farm? Where is that?" Dutch asked.
"I know this. The place is between Flatneck Station and Riggs Station, not far from the Budd Bridge. But how do we know if there will be another trap waiting for us there?" Micah asked back, playing with the dagger in his hand.
The man chuckled. "My life is in your hands. I've said everything I need to say. If you don't believe me, well...you...you..."
Before he finished speaking, Micah's sharp blade had already slashed across his neck. Standing at the side and admiring the other person's unbelievable expression, Micah couldn't help laughing a few times, leaning over and mockingly saying, "Sorry, I still think you're lying to us."
Micah's crazy move shocked everyone except Dutch. But Lin Yan noticed that when Micah drew his knife, Dutch seemed to know in advance that Micah was going to do this, and he moved from the front of the man to the side in advance, avoiding the blood splattering range in time.
"Is there something wrong with you?" Seeing that Micah actually killed Dutch after he made a promise, Sean pulled out a gun, pointed it at Micah and cursed.
Lin Yan, John, Charles, and Lenny did the same thing. At one point, five gun muzzles were pointed at Micah's head.
Micah raised his hands reflexively and looked at Dutch with a smile instead of surprise.
"Okay, put your guns down." Dutch raised his head and glanced at the five people with guns one by one.
"Even if what he said is true, who knows if he will leak the information again after we leave. In order to eliminate this possibility, he must die."
"But, Dutch..." John wanted to say something, but Dutch raised his hand to stop him.
He looked at John with cold eyes and said in a tone that did not allow anyone to interfere: "Okay, let's stop talking. Next, Micah will lead the way and we will go save Arthur."
