Wilderness Redemption Tour

Hosea smiled and continued, "Don't be fooled by Sean's usual carefree and carefree attitude. In fact, he is very concerned. Although he didn't tell me anything when he left, I have a feeling that he no longer has any illusions about this industry."

"It's good to leave." Lin Yan drank a mouthful of meat soup and asked, "What about Lenny? I saw that he looked unhappy these past two days. Could it be that the two of them agreed to leave together?"

"That's not the case." Hosea shook his head, denying Lin Yan's statement. "I was the one who asked Lenny to leave. He was so depressed these days because I kept persuading him to leave as soon as possible. Lenny was hesitant until Sean came to me today, and then he was convinced by me. So I struck while the iron was hot and let them leave together."

"Very good." Lin Yan was not sad about the departure of the two, but was very happy. While Hosea was explaining, he looked through his task progress and found that the first stage of the final task had been completed, and the progress of the second stage task had reached 1/5.

Since it was a phased task, the system did not issue a prompt when Lin Yan completed the first phase of the task. At the same time, Lin Yan also found that there was no time limit for the lottery in the second phase of the final task. This meant that Lin Yan, who did not often pay attention to the task bar, did not notice that the task had been completed.

"What about Arthur and Dutch? What's their situation?" Sadie asked.

"They all went with Charles." Hosea gave an unexpected answer.

"Charles?" A big question mark appeared in Lin Yan's mind. "Isn't Charles providing assistance to his compatriots in the Wapiti Reservation? What's wrong? He can't do it alone, so he came back to ask for help?"

Hosea nodded. “That’s about it.”

Lin Yan's expression suddenly became serious. Arthur had told him a few days ago that there were troops stationed outside each Indian reservation. If Charles went there alone to help, there would definitely be no conflict with these garrisons. But he came back and called Dutch and Arthur. This was not a good sign no matter how you looked at it.

"What's going on? Tell me in detail." Lin Yan said urgently.

Hosea obviously knew the seriousness of the matter, so he told Lin Yan directly: "At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Charles came back and brought a young Indian named Flying Eagle. Flying Eagle is the son of the chief of his tribe, and they came to ask us for help. To be more precise, it was Flying Eagle who insisted on Charles bringing him here, and Charles himself did not mean to do so."

"I know a little about the situation in the Wapiti Reservation. I know that these Indians have a very difficult life under the oppression of some people with ulterior motives. Eagle found us because the garrison guarding them stole the horses they depended on for survival. Eagle was furious at their actions and planned to gather a group of people to take the horses back. Charles was very rational in this regard and did not intend to help him in this matter, but he could not resist Eagle's request and brought him here."

"When they came, Dutch happened to be there. After listening to Eagle's story, Dutch agreed to his request without even a second thought, and even didn't ask for a penny. At noon, Arthur told me that Dutch had set his sights on the army again, so when we saw Dutch agreed so readily, we knew what Dutch was up to. He clearly wanted to use this incident to intensify the conflict between these Indians and the local army, and then take advantage of the time when the army was dealing with these Indians to carry out his own plan."

"Arthur and Charles originally had no intention of getting involved in this matter, but considering that Dutch is becoming increasingly unreliable, leaving him alone with Eagle might cause a big mess. In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, the two of them had no choice but to go with Dutch."

Lin Yan held his forehead and sighed: "I found that Dutch has become more and more restless since he came back. It's not enough to just provoke Pinkerton, now he's also planning to target the army..."

"Yeah, I guess Sean and Lenny's decision to leave has something to do with Dutch's decision."

"Dutch and Arthur left with Eagle, so what about Micah? Where did he go?" Sadie asked again.

"I don't know." Hosea shook his head. "Dutch came back alone in the afternoon." After a pause, he continued, "Arthur told me at noon that Dutch sent Micah to investigate a batch of explosives shipped from Annesburg to St. Denis. He is probably still investigating."

Lin Yan is not too concerned about Micah's affairs now. What he is worried about now is the cooperation between Dutch and Flying Eagle. These two are not worry-free guys. The problem with Dutch is that his plan has changed from a single thread to a dual thread or even a triple thread. In the past, single threads have always had problems. Lin Yan really doesn't know where Dutch got the courage to implement a more complicated plan.

As for Feiying, in Lin Yan's eyes, his personality is that of a passionate young man who acts impulsively and without regard for the consequences. Luoyu, in order to continue the tribe, did not hesitate to bear many infamy, endure humiliation, and tolerate invaders, but in return, he was misunderstood by his son and many tribesmen. Maybe now he, the tribe leader, is not as prestigious as his son in the tribe.

Lin Yan rubbed his face and said, "I hope Dutch can do it cleanly this time. Don't cause trouble after this job. Half of the gang members have left, and the remaining half can't stand him causing trouble again."

Hosea took out a half-drunk bottle of brandy from somewhere, uncorked it and took a gulp. He looked at the starry sky and said in a daze, "I really wish I could go back to the old days..."

After knowing where the others were going and seeing Hosea suddenly looking melancholy, Lin Yan and Sadie tactfully got up and left.

When returning the plate, Sadie asked Lin Yan, "Do you think Dachi's plan will succeed this time?"

Lin Yan now has no hope for Dutch's plan. Instead of relying on Dutch, he might as well hope that Professor Dragic will send him the first dividend from the radio patent as soon as possible.

"When it comes to plans, the more thorough the arrangements, the less likely they are to fail. If the most thorough plan is like..." Lin Yan looked down at his clothes, then pointed to the canvas vest on his body and gave an example: "If it's like this canvas vest on me, then Dutch's plan is like a fishing net, with only one or a few general directions. It's neither thorough nor rigorous. Success or failure depends half on the performance of the people who carry out the task, and the other half on whether the opponent cooperates. This kind of plan may have worked well in the past for small-scale operations, but now our opponents are Pinkerton detectives with offices all over the United States, and we are about to provoke a state government and army. Even the most optimistic people can't be optimistic in the face of this situation."
