Wilderness Redemption Tour
Chapter 267 Hostages
At first glance, Lin Yan's proposal was an absolutely bad idea, but after everyone thought about it, they all felt that there was really no better way than this.
The guard in the watchtower is dead. Whether their body is left there or thrown into the river, it will alert the Xisika Prison. They will definitely face more prison guards next time they come, and even the prisoners will not appear outside the prison anymore. It would be better for them to just give it a try this time and see if they can rescue the people.
"Hmm..." Arthur looked at the prison guards supervising the prisoners' work in the distance and nodded slowly, "It seems that this is the only way."
Then, he began to arrange the combat mission this time: "We don't need snipers for now. We will go down together later. I will go from the front to attract the attention of the prison guards. The three of you will go around behind them and find a way to restrain them. It's best not to shoot. If you are forced to shoot back, it's best to spare their lives. The more bargaining chips we have in our hands, the more bargaining chips we have in negotiating with the prison."
After listening to Arthur's talk about the combat mission, Lin Yan wanted to take over his role as bait, but he found that there was no special color of danger warning on Arthur's body, so he gave up the idea.
After coming down from the watchtower, Lin Yan and his two companions and Arthur split up into two groups. Arthur raised his hands and walked over to attract the attention of the prison guards who were watching the prisoners doing farm work. Lin Yan and Sadie, led by Charles, trotted all the way and took cover from the trees to get behind the prison guards from the side.
When Lin Yan and his companions arrived at the designated location, the prison guards "happened" to find a strange man walking towards them with his hands raised.
One of the prison guards hurriedly took out his gun and pointed it at a strange face not far away: "Stop, who are you? Where are you from?"
The others, except him, finally reacted and reached for their waists or took off the rifles slung over their shoulders.
From the reactions of several prison guards, Lin Yan could clearly feel that these people were all newcomers. To be frank, even if these people were placed in the mixed O'Driscoll gang, they would only play the role of cannon fodder.
In short, the incompetence of these prison guards was beyond everyone's expectations.
Lin Yan and his men didn't even wait for Arthur to reply before they found a target and pounced on it. Although there were four prison guards, the three of them quickly knocked them down when the other party was caught off guard, and took their weapons and threw them on the ground.
"Well, I declare that today is your lucky day. You are free." Arthur took a key from the waist of one of the prison guards and threw it to the group of prisoners who were standing there in a daze, not knowing what was going on. "If you want to escape, go ahead, as long as you can swim to the other side of the river."
"Thank you... thank you..."
Some prisoners thanked the prisoner profusely, took the key to unlock their handcuffs and leg irons, and ran happily in a direction after choosing one. Other prisoners looked at their escaping cellmates with envy, but they themselves did not take any action, probably because they could not swim; some sat down and looked indifferent, as if they had given up on life and did not want to spend the rest of their lives in endless escape.
After throwing the keys to the prisoners, Arthur stopped paying attention to their movements. He pulled out his revolver and pointed it at the prison guard who looked like a squad leader and asked, "Where are John Marston and Josiah Trelawney?"
The team leader had obviously never seen such a vicious criminal who dared to run to the prison to rescue people in broad daylight, so he replied tremblingly: "They are not assigned to work this afternoon."
"Sure enough..." Arthur first muttered to himself, then put his arm around his neck: "Well, it seems you have to accompany us to find them. The purpose of our coming here is to rescue people, and we will leave after rescuing them. As long as you are obedient, I promise that no one will hurt you, understand?"
The second half of this sentence was addressed to all the prison guards, as a warning and a statement. After hearing this, the tense bodies of several prison guards relaxed significantly, and they cooperated more even when being held hostage.
On the way to the prison, armed prison guards began to appear one after another. In order to protect his side from being attacked from both sides, Arthur turned back to look at Charles and winked at him: "Charles."
Charles nodded in understanding, and then knocked out the young prison guard he was holding with the butt of his gun. This action immediately attracted the attention of the gunman, who turned the gun towards Charles who suddenly committed the crime, but he never dared to pull the trigger.
"Oh...oh..." Arthur spoke to attract the other party's attention again. "Mr. Policeman, I advise you not to act rashly. My companion has no ill intentions. He just wants you to take a break."
As he spoke, Charles had already walked up to the prison guard and hit him with the butt of his rifle again.
Charles did the same thing for the rest of the journey. Whenever a new prison guard appeared, they were greeted with a heavy blow. On the road the four of them walked on, there were no less than ten unconscious prison guards lying in all directions.
Crossing the iron bridge connecting the two islands, Lin Yan and his four companions successfully arrived at the gate of Xisika Prison. While still on the bridge, the captives in the hands of the three people shouted loudly to the prison guards on the observation platform above the prison gate: "Don't shoot, they don't want to kill people, they just want to take away two prisoners..."
The prison guards on the observation deck were stunned when they saw this scene. Were the people held hostage by the thugs below ours? Were they being instigated? Why would they speak for the enemy? And so actively?
On the way here, Lin Yan learned from the conversation between Arthur and the captain that the warden of the prison was Archibald, the brother of Heston Jameson, who was once his "acquaintance". Standing in front of the prison gate, Arthur shouted towards the prison: "Jameson! Jameson! Is Jameson in there?"
"He went to Saint Denis," a prison guard on the observation deck replied.
"Well then." Arthur grabbed the hostage's neck and shook him. "Your people are in our hands now. If you want them to live, you have to exchange them for John Marston and Josiah Trelawney, a total of two people, so I'll give you two minutes. When the time is up, we will start a massacre. Not only these three people will die, but everyone we meet on the way here will also die. You'd better hurry up, because I'm counting the seconds now!"
