Wilderness Redemption Tour

When setting off, Milton did not leave Sadie as a hostage here, but took her with him.

It was not until they were on the road that Lin Yan and his companions realized that the Pinkerton detectives they had just encountered were just the tip of the iceberg. In order to completely capture Dutch, they almost went all out this time. Milton summoned all the action personnel that could be summoned from several nearby states. Even if there were not 300 of these people, there were at least 270 or 280.

After seeing the absolute advantage in numbers, Lin Yan and Sadie finally understood how correct Arthur's decision to negotiate was. Want to break out from the encirclement of so many people? Impossible.

Lin Yan and Arthur were now caught in the middle of the main force, while the hostage Sadie was tied up and guarded by Agent Ross. Milton was at the front of the main force, and Arthur had already told him the location of the beaver cave.

Milton was confident that he had an absolute advantage this time, so he did not forcefully attack. He wanted to completely defeat Dutch both physically and psychologically. Physically, he wanted to surround the beaver cave with three layers of defense inside and outside, making it impossible for Dutch to escape; psychologically, he wanted Arthur and Lin Yan to return to Dutch's side, and then join forces with Micah to suddenly attack him, so that Dutch would feel betrayed.

Lin Yan turned his head slightly, glanced at Agent Ross behind him, then leaned slightly towards Arthur and asked him in a low voice: "Do you really want to help Milton catch Dutch?"

"Of course not..." Arthur looked straight ahead and squeezed out two words that only Lin Yan could hear clearly: "Saving people is important. I just said that, just to show off. Although Dutch is not honest, I can't be the next Micah."

"But what will happen to Sadie if she doesn't do what Milton says?"

"If all else fails, we can only ask Dutch to cooperate and put on a show."

"Acting? Is it reliable?"

"Whether it's reliable or not, we can only try it. Do you have any other ideas?"

Lin Yan opened his mouth but said nothing. Sadie's life was in someone else's hands. Now they were outnumbered, and there was really no other way except to do what the other party said.

Lin Yan skipped the previous question and asked, "What if Daqi doesn't believe what we say?"

Arthur obviously thought of this, "Then I'll tell him with my actions when the time comes."

"Hey! The one in front! What are you doing?" Although Lin Yan and Arthur's movements were very small, they were still discovered by Agent Ross behind them. He pulled the rope in his hand and threatened: "You are doing something tricky under my nose. Do you want to kill this woman?"

When Lin Yan and Arthur heard the scolding, they immediately straightened up and pretended nothing had happened, for fear that the other party behind them would catch them.

When they were still a mile from Beaver Cave, Milton ordered the troops to stop.

"Use this distance as the boundary, surround this place, and follow my instructions."

After assigning the task, Milton rode his horse to Arthur and Lin Yan.

"It's time to get to work. Grab your lunch and go." Taking out his pocket watch and checking the time, Milton looked at the two again: "I'll give you an hour. During this hour, my people will continue to advance. After an hour, if I don't see Dutch's men, I will launch a general attack. By then, not only will she die," he pointed at Sadie behind the two, "all of you will stand on the gallows with Dutch. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Arthur and Lin Yan nodded in response. Under Milton's gaze, the two took back their weapons and set off on their journey home together.

The golden and slightly reddish setting sun shines through the gaps between the leaves into the forest, revealing a peaceful and tranquil scene everywhere. The small animals in the forest on both sides of the road are tirelessly searching for food as usual. For them, survival is everything. Compared with them, humans are much more complicated.

On the way, Arthur described the plan in full to Lin Yan. After listening, Lin Yan's evaluation was: the success rate is very high, it's worth a try.

"Hurry up and pack these bags, Ms. Grimshaw." As soon as Lin Yan and Arthur came back, they heard Micah's urging.

In the center of the camp, the gang's few remaining supplies had been mostly packed up. Micah sat on a crate, playing with a dagger in his hand while urging the others to speed up. Aunt Susan and Hosea had returned to the camp by now, and they were now packing up and loading the things that could be taken away from the camp with Bill Harville.

"Ah, look, our hero is back." Seeing Lin Yan and Arthur coming back, Micah was as sarcastic as ever.

Lin Yan and Arthur looked at each other, Arthur nodded slightly, then dismounted and walked over to help load the car. After dismounting, Lin Yan walked towards Micah, meeting his gaze, and passed him by amid the other's dirty words. At the moment of passing by, Lin Yan, with a smile on his face, whispered: "Milton told us about you, and now we are in the same group. He said he can't wait any longer and asked you to act now. He is outside, and we only have forty minutes."

After hearing this, Micah's pupils shrank suddenly. After he came to his senses, he cursed Lin Yan's back twice before stopping.

"Hurry up, we're leaving soon." Micah stood up and urged again.

With the addition of Arthur and Lin Yan, and Micah's constant urging, the necessary luggage that needed to be taken away was quickly loaded into the car.

"Dutch, before you leave, I think we need to talk again." Arthur saw that the discussion was almost going on, so he walked towards Dutch who was standing aside.

"I have something to talk to you about, Dutch." Seeing this, Micah also walked towards Dutch.

Dutch looked up at the two of them, stood up and said, "If it's nothing important, wait until we leave."

"I just saw Milton again." Arthur kept walking. "We talked for a while, and he told me that Micah had come to him many times."

"What are you talking about, cowboy?" Micah retorted. "Any smart person would know that this guy is trying to deceive people, and only a fool like you with muscles and bullets in his head would believe it."

"Dutch, I've said everything I need to say..."

"Dachi, I have always been on your side..."

The two men approached Dutch while arguing, and when they got next to Dutch, they both pulled out their guns at the same time.

What surprised Dutch was that the two guns were not aimed at the person who was arguing with them, but at him, the listener and decision maker.

Everyone present, including Dutch, who didn't know the inside story, was shocked. What was going on between Arthur and Micah, the old enemies?
