Seeing the Van der Linde gang members standing in front of Dutch and intending to fight to the end, Agent Milton frowned slightly and scolded in a tone of regret: "You stupid guys, do you know that you are making a huge mistake!"

“Haha…hahaha…” Daqi gently pushed aside Lin Yan and the others who were blocking him. He smiled and said with a hint of pride on his face, “Yes…yes…it’s really terrible. It’s a pity that people like you will never understand the kind of feelings we have, which are called life and death.”

Dutch drew the double guns from his waist and said as he retreated: "The conversation is over. I'm sorry, Mr. Milton, it seems that a fight is bound to break out between the two sides."

"Dutch van der Linde, you will regret your decision!" Agent Milton raised his arm angrily and swung it down hard.

"attack!"

Under the command of Agent Milton, dozens of Pinkerton detectives who stood in a neat line behind him and were ready to go instantly passed him who was standing in front of the team and rushed silently into the woods ahead.

"Bang, bang!" Dutch's double-gun volley sounded the clarion call for the battle.

In the first round of confrontation, although the Van der Linde gang was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, they took advantage of the geographical advantage and successfully killed double-digit enemies while the Pinkerton detectives were looking for cover.

A few seconds after the first gunshot was heard on the battlefield, Lin Yan, who was hiding behind a tree to reload bullets, vaguely heard intensive gunfire coming from the other side.

"I didn't notice anything unusual on anyone just now, which means no one was injured in this battle." Lin Yan consoled himself as if seeking confirmation. While poking his head out from behind the tree, he raised the rifle in his hand and shot dead an enemy who was looking for a new cover.

"Aim at the enemies on both sides of the road, and leave the rest to Ms. Bell!" Hosea said in a voice that only his own people could hear.

With a specific target in mind, the Van der Linde gang members, who were in a high position and outnumbered, consciously turned their guns towards the enemies hiding on both sides of the road. After the Pinkerton detectives discovered that this area was being given special attention, they all chose to enter the woods where the terrain was more complex.

"Boom! Boom!"

Lin Yan had just driven the enemies on both sides of the road into the woods when he heard an explosion on the other side of the woods, in the direction of the eastern entrance of the camp.

By the time the sound of the explosion reached the ears of Lin Yan and others, the volume had become much smaller, not even as loud as the sound of gunfire, but this series of continuous explosions still caused a brief pause in the enemy's attack.

"Don't be afraid! Keep attacking! Agent Ross has made progress!" Milton, who was "supervising the battle" at the back, encouraged.

The encouraged Pinkerton detectives were like being injected with a shot of stimulant, and immediately several fearless men rushed to the middle of the hillside in the hail of bullets.

"Dutch, it looks like they can't hold on over there, what should we do?" Hosea looked at Dutch and asked "loudly".

"Send a few people to support over there. We don't have much explosives, so we have to use them sparingly." Dutch also answered "loudly".

After this conversation, the Pinkerton detectives who had advanced to the middle of the hillside noticed that the firepower from overhead was gradually decreasing. They reacted and took the opportunity to expand their advantage. They launched a massive attack at all costs and soon advanced to the woods within thirty meters of the Van der Linde gang members.

Seeing that the enemies had fallen into the trap one after another, Dutch turned around and made a gesture to the side and rear.

Five seconds later, except for the sides of the road, the entire forest was boiling, continuous explosions were heard, and even the ground was shaking slightly.

The sound of the explosion was secondary. The smoke, dust, fallen leaves, and weeds raised by the explosion instantly covered the forest. After the explosion, although the entire battlefield could not be seen clearly, the wailing sounds everywhere indirectly proved the success of Dutch and Hosea's "luring the enemy deep into the territory".

After this massive explosion, the gunshots from both battlefields disappeared at the same time. When the dust settled, Lin Yan saw that some of the Pinkerton detectives who were still able to move were withdrawing from the battlefield with some wounded soldiers.

Although he looked a little embarrassed, Agent Milton was lucky enough to escape the explosion. Seeing that only a few of his men were intact, a few were slightly injured, and most were seriously injured or even dead, he, who rarely showed emotional fluctuations, also showed a heartbroken expression after realizing the loss.

"Dutch van der Linde, I didn't expect you to be prepared. You win this time. But the next time you see me, all of you will be dead!"

"Run away quickly, you accomplices, the farther you run the better!"

After making these harsh remarks, Milton whispered something to the other uninjured people, then left without looking back.

Watching Milton leave alone, leaving behind a large number of wounded soldiers, Dutch's eyes showed no emotion, neither surprise nor joy.

"Kieran." He waved at Kiran and ordered, "You stay here and monitor the remaining enemies. If you find any unusual movement below, just shoot to warn them."

After giving Jilan the order, Dutch looked at the others and continued, “Everyone else go back and pack your things, we have to leave here quickly.

On the way back to the camp, Dutch asked without much hope: "Does anyone know where else to hide nearby?"

"I know a place." Lenny continued, "Arthur and I found a big house a while ago. It's in the swamp between Rhodes and St. Denis. It's a pretty secret place."

"Very good." Dutch turned and looked at Lenny. "Mark that place on the map later, then take Jamie and go ahead. Make sure there is no one else nearby."

"Also, Charles, go to Rhodes's tavern or Gray's house to find Arthur and the others, tell them that the plan against these two families has been terminated, and ask them to come back quickly."

"Okay." After receiving the order, Lenny, Lin Yan and Charles nodded in unison.

When Lin Yan returned to the camp and got on his horse to set off with Lenny, he saw that John and others who were responsible for defending the other side had also returned one after another. Although Dutch was called away halfway, with the help of Ms. Bell, they still successfully repelled the attack of the Pinkerton detectives.

As they walked, the group of people suddenly looked behind them at the same time. Just when Lin Yan thought that the Pinkerton detectives were coming for the second time, he saw Arthur and others who had gone out in the morning riding horses straight into the camp and heading straight for Dutch's tent.

"Dutch!"

Arthur, who was running in the front, called Dutch's name, jumped off his horse and shouted, "We have fallen into a trap. This is a conspiracy of the Gray family."
