Wilderness Redemption Tour

Because Dutch's plan to rob a bank tomorrow was temporarily shelved, most of the gang members returned to their previous state of small-scale fighting.

The task of gathering information was given to the non-combatants in the gang. For safety reasons, gunmen like Arthur and Lin Yan had to stay away from St. Denis for the next few days, so as to give Angelo Bronte the illusion that the Van der Linde gang had fled in disgrace after causing a big commotion in St. Denis.

In the camp, the most discussed topic in their spare time was whether to leave, when to leave, and whether the Pinkerton detectives would find this place by following the clues. It was obvious that many people were worried that Dutch had provoked Angelo Bronte, the actual controller of Saint Denis.

In fact, Dutch was also feeling aggrieved, for he clearly had done nothing. He only robbed a tram station according to the information given by Angelo Bronte. He did not expect that this ordinary thing to him would make him a nobody in an instant.

This defeat was a big blow to Dutch, both mentally and physically. He locked himself in his room for three days to recuperate and isolate himself. He found Hosea and had a brief conversation with him, and then the subsequent plan was decided.

Let me first talk about the news that Lin Yan and everyone in the camp brought back from Saint Denis in the past three days.

Unable to go to Saint Denis, Lin Yan, who was still in negative assets, had to find Alden, the ticket seller at Lodz Station again, and spent a large sum of money to buy from him the information about two stagecoaches that could be robbed.

The income from the two robberies was good. Lin Yan generously left half of it to the camp, and the rest was divided between him and Sadie in proportion to their contribution.

On the third day, Lin Yan received another 1,000 yuan share from Leopold for robbing the pleasure boat. Since then, Lin Yan has finally paid off his debts and even made a small profit.

As for St. Denis, many people went there to inquire about the news, but the news they brought back was almost the same: there was no news.

That day, Dutch and his gang had a crazy shootout and chase with the police on the streets of Saint Denis, and even overturned a tram. However, both the sheriff and the mayor tacitly chose to suppress the matter. So even though Dutch and his gang made such a big fuss in Saint Denis that day, the splash they made was pitifully small.

However, at Angelo Bronte's manor, after the incident, the number of guards in the manor was more than doubled than before. Apparently, after learning that Dutch had escaped, he was also wary of revenge from this "country bumpkin".

Back to Dutch's next plan, his statement to the outside world was: If we want to leave this place and leave this country, we have to find a way to get a lot of money. If we want to get a lot of money, the previous plan to rob the bank must be implemented. In order to make the plan to rob the bank go smoothly, we must first destroy Angelo Bronte, because Saint Denis is actually under his protection. If we don't target him first, then the bank robbery will inevitably encounter many difficulties, and it is even likely to repeat the scene at the tram station a few days ago.

"In Dutch's words: 'These are the last two jobs we have to do this year. Within this year, we will be able to harvest mangoes on Tahiti.'" Lin Yan found Hosea and repeated Dutch's words when he asked him about Dutch's detailed plan.

"What do other people think about Dachi's decision?" Lin Yan asked again.

Hosea smiled sadly: "From what I understand, most people still have hope. Even though Dutch is hitting a wall again and again, they are still willing to stay and observe for a while."

"Do you want to be like most people and observe the situation for a while, or are you ready to go all the way with Dutch?" Hosea looked at Lin Yan gently.

Lin Yan touched the back of his head and gave an ambiguous answer: "Me? I'm going to wait and see, and we'll tell you when the time comes."

Hosea smiled bitterly and shook his head, then stood up and patted Lin Yan on the shoulder: "Leave as soon as possible, kid, it's not too late to leave now. Dutch's decision may kill all of us."

Lin Yan watched Hosea walk away with heavy steps in silence. In his eyes, this gang's think tank seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

Looking at the balcony of Daqi's room, Lin Yan was filled with emotion. Daqi, Daqi, what are you thinking? Why are you so stubborn now, like a different person? Success or failure, which result can bring you back to your former self?

Dutch set the plan for tomorrow night, which was nominally to clear obstacles but was actually revenge. Lin Yan was chosen as one of the "Avengers" without any surprise. In addition to him, there were Arthur, John and Bill. It was said that Dutch also wanted to bring Lenny, but Hosea declined the offer because he needed Lenny's help.

Unlike Lenny, Sadie wanted to go but couldn't. In Dutch's words, revenge is a man's thing, and ladies shouldn't be swayed by hatred. Obviously, after the overall situation was decided, he didn't intend to hide it, and he also agreed with the idea of ​​revenge.

Although the real mission was scheduled for tomorrow night, Dutch was going to take Arthur and Lin Yan out today. He planned to attack Angelo Bronte's manor by water at night, and he needed a boat to go by water, so before that, he had to go to a small village called Lagrasse to discuss boat matters with the people there.

The three of them set off after lunch. On the way, Arthur explicitly asked Dutch whether he did this for the purpose of robbing the bank or for revenge.

"Yes and no, it doesn't really matter." Dutch tried to instill his own theory into Arthur: "Think about it, why did we encounter so many policemen that day? Obviously, Bronte controls the police in St. Denis. As long as he is there, the police will appear in waves when we are doing things. A large number of ants can kill an elephant, not to mention that we are facing a group of well-trained policemen. And don't forget, he once caught Little Jack."

"But if we go there when they are obviously well prepared, aren't we walking into a trap? Maybe we can wait a little longer, go to another place to have a good rest, stabilize the people's morale or something." Arthur obviously had no confidence in Dutch's plan.

Dutch saw that Arthur, his former loyal supporter, had no confidence in him this time, so he yelled, "Can you please have some faith in me? I'm working hard to create a future for everyone!"

"I know, but..."

Before Arthur could finish, Dutch interrupted him rudely: "But, but... When did you become so short-sighted? If you think it's best for us to break up and go our separate ways, just tell me. The gang is not a prisoner-of-war camp, and I won't force anyone to stay. Since you have chosen to stay in the gang, then when you encounter problems, you must shoulder them together and find a way out together. This is a qualified team, and this is the family I want to have."
