Wilderness Redemption Tour

Lin Yan had never experienced an artillery battle since he came to this world, but according to Lanny's narration, he had a certain understanding of the danger of this battle. The most powerful weapon he had seen so far was the Maxim machine gun. The power and destructiveness of artillery were at least several times greater than bullets, so it was not difficult to imagine the scene at that time.

"It's a miracle that none of you were injured after such a battle." Arthur sighed again.

"It's not like no one was injured." Lenny unbuttoned his shirt and showed Arthur and Lin Yan the wound on his shoulder. The wound was as wide as the little finger and had now scabbed over. It didn't seem to have any effect on Lenny's movements. "This is the wound I got in that battle. It's a scratch. The others also had one or two more or less, but it's not a big deal."

"And this is not over yet." Lenny continued, "After the battle, we wanted to rest for a night before leaving, but Hercule brought us another bad news - the captain of the ship we were going to take was captured by General Fusal. If we want to leave, we must rescue the captain and destroy the artillery in Fusal's stronghold."

It's really full of twists and turns. Arthur and I are not here, but the system has arranged such a rich plot. Thinking of this, Lin Yan smiled and said, "Since you have returned safely, then General Fusal is probably in danger."

Speaking of General Fusar's ending, Lenny also said with a smile: "Yes, his end was indeed a bit miserable."

"So we sneaked to Fusal's base overnight. The guards of the base had no idea that we would have the strength to launch a night attack on them after the fierce battle during the day. They were caught off guard and fell behind at the beginning of the battle. We easily wiped them out and destroyed most of the artillery in the base. After rescuing the captain, we learned that Fusal had contacted the US Navy immediately after the defeat of the Cuban Navy, and reinforcements would arrive the next morning. So we wanted to stop there and spare Fusal's life, but he didn't expect that after realizing that he had completely failed, he fled to a tower and began to fire wildly at us with his few remaining soldiers. At this time, we happened to have two artillery pieces on hand, which Hercule had left behind to arm his team. Seeing how crazy he was, we didn't hold back and used these two cannons to blow up the tower, Fusal and his men."

"What a perfect ending," Hosea commented. "Even though this is the second time I've heard it today, I still can't help but cheer when you say you 'shot' the colonial leader. These people deserved to die. Although you did this just to fight for the right to go home, you undoubtedly did a good thing for the locals."

"But we are essentially a group of bandits, a group of guys who are about to be abandoned by this era." Arthur poured a bucket of cold water on Hosea mercilessly.

"Yes, yes, you are right." Hosea defended with a smile, "But we cannot deny the contribution that Lenny and his men made to the Guarma natives. A counterattack or a victory may not bring about tangible changes to their homeland, but it is better to do something than nothing. Perhaps many years later, this struggle will be written into books, poems, or stories by those natives."

"Then I'm quite looking forward to it." Lenny said, standing up. "Well, gentlemen, our adventure in Guarma finally ended successfully with the defeat of the ruler there. Let's not talk about the return trip by boat. Next, I have to continue working. I haven't done these for several weeks, and I miss them very much."

After Lenny left, Arthur and Hosea looked at each other, and they moved forward in tacit understanding.

Arthur asked first, "Just now Dutch told me that you didn't comment on his contact with Cornwall, and that you would no longer be involved in the decision-making of gang affairs in the future. Is this true?"

Hosea admitted frankly. "Yes, that's what I just told him."

Arthur moved his mouth, and Hosea naturally knew what he wanted to ask. He waved his hand to signal Arthur not to ask, and then he took the initiative to tell him the reason.

"Haven't you noticed yet? Dutch is increasingly unwilling to listen to my advice. So even if I express my opinion this time and try to stop him from doing so, the final result will most likely still end in a quarrel and his insistence on having his own way. Now he comes to ask for my opinion probably just out of a long-standing habit. As for my opinion, it's no longer that important. So the moment he told me about that bad plan, I instantly realized that instead of trying to correct Dutch, who has already gone astray and is stubborn, it would be better to let him see how wrong he is."

Arthur didn't say anything, as if he was trying to understand what Hosea meant. After a long while, he asked Hosea with a worried look on his face, "So...why did Dutch suddenly become like this?"

"He didn't become like this all of a sudden." Hosea corrected: "Since the incident in Blackwater Town, Dutch has changed. Don't you feel it?"

Arthur nodded. "Although it's not very obvious, it's true. But when Dutch came back this time, I felt that he was almost a completely different person. He no longer considered the consequences of doing things, no longer listened to other people's opinions, acted on his own, was arrogant, and arrogant..."

"That..." Seeing the two of them discussing Dutch's affairs in front of him without any reservation, Lin Yan understood that they treated him as one of their own. He had heard from Arthur and Hosea about what Dutch was like before. At that time, Dutch was a leader who took saving the common people as his mission, had a strong sense of justice, was wise, and knew how to listen to other people's opinions and criticisms. If he could still feel one or two of the above-mentioned good qualities from Dutch when he first met him, now these advantages have completely disappeared from him.

Arthur and Hosea looked at Lin Yan who spoke. Lin Yan rubbed his face to concentrate himself, and then expressed his opinion on Dutch's changes.

"Do you think Dutch has become like this because he couldn't stand the blow of his plans failing so many times?"
