Red Dead Redemption: The Great Philanthropist of the West

“Sheriff, everything can be discussed, right? My friend is very capable. We bounty hunters are serving the people and reducing crime, right?”

He then stepped forward, shook the sheriff's hand, and quietly slipped a $50 bill into the sheriff's hand.

The sheriff glanced at the money in his hand and naturally put it in his pocket.

"It's not that we can't make an exception, but each of the three licenses will cost $100, and you'll need to prove your capabilities."

“No problem, how do you require proof?” Henry replied.

"Look at that wall over there, see the poster for Lindsay Wofford? $100 bounty, commander of the Lemoine Raiders, fighting against the government, robbing and murdering everywhere."

I heard they recently built a small fortress in the Mossy Plains near Van Horn Trading Post. Perhaps you can capture him alive in three days. Just a friendly reminder, they have at least twenty men.

"No problem, give us a day. As long as your intelligence is correct, we can bring the person back to you tomorrow."

Also, let's confirm whether anyone besides the commander has a bounty.

"If you can bring them back in one day, I can help you apply for $5 for each of the others. If it takes more than one day, then no."

“No problem, we’ll wait to pick him up tomorrow. Let’s go.” After saying that, Henry walked to the wanted poster, tore down Wofford’s poster, and walked out of the police station.

Arresting the person doesn't take much time, but the main problem is that the location is a bit far, and most of the time is spent on the road.

Henry gave Megan $100 and told her to go to a nearby pub and find out as much as she could about the city, such as the black market and the Chinese community. He told her to do whatever she could, and not to force her to do anything.

Meet at the nearby Ice Spring Bar at this time tomorrow.

After instructing Megan to be careful, Henry led Flying Eagle and the others back to the train station, planning to take the train to Van Horn Trading Post first, and then ride horses there.

Fortunately, there are quite a few train services in big cities, and I caught a train to Van Horn shortly after arriving.

.....

Meanwhile, in Saint Denis, at the home of City Councilor Hector Fellowes.

Mr. Fellowes was summoning his daughter's servant. His expression was filled with anger and worry.

His daughter was kidnapped yesterday on her way to pick oranges at Zambirk Manor at the invitation of a friend. The robbers claimed to be Lemoine raiders.

This was in retaliation for his call a few days earlier in his own newspaper for the government to organize a crackdown on the Lemoine raiders and restore peace to the land.

"Was Sophia injured? What happened to the other guards? Why did you come back alone?" Feros had been in Blackwater Town for business these past few days. His newspaper wasn't just in Saint Denis; the Blackwater Chronicle was also one of his properties. He received news yesterday that his daughter Sophia had been kidnapped and rushed back by boat overnight.

Upon his return, still looking haggard, he hurriedly summoned the servant who had accompanied his daughter on the trip to inquire about the situation.

"Miss, we weren't injured at the time. Suddenly, more than a dozen people appeared and pointed guns at us. We didn't dare to fight back."

Then they simply tied up the young lady and took her away. The guards... were all killed. If they hadn't wanted to keep me here to come back and tell the master, I wouldn't have made it back either." The servant said slowly, his head bowed and his eyes flickering.

"What do they want in return for letting Sophia go?" Feros was so preoccupied with images of Sophia's suffering that he didn't notice these details.

"They...they say they want...they want you to publish a public apology, sir, and never report on them or the Lemoine Raiders again. And...and they want a ransom of $1. They need the money by tomorrow, or they won't guarantee Miss's safety," the servant stammered nervously.

"Joseph (butler), go and prepare the money first. We can talk about the newspaper ad later. I need to go to the mayor and the police chief to rescue Sophia."

......

Around three or four in the afternoon, Henry had already ridden his Flying Snow to the Mossy Plains mentioned in the intelligence report, and sure enough, he saw a small wooden fortress on a hill not far away.

After observing through the binoculars for a moment...

"According to intelligence, there are about twenty people inside, and it is possible that someone will come to their aid along the way."

See the sentries and Maxim machine gun on the tower? Eagle and I will sneak up to the main gate in a bit. Antora, you and Lorian, find cover and shoot the sentries from a distance, and keep an eye on that Maxim machine gun. Make sure it doesn't fire.

You guys shoot them with arrows first. Once the enemy notices, Flying Eagle and I will launch a frontal attack to draw their attention.

Your job is to monitor the surrounding area to prevent enemy reinforcements from encircling you. Then, depending on the situation, you can carry out the assassination.

Also, our objective is to capture Wofford alive, so if you see someone dressed as a commander, try to scavenge them rather than shoot them. Of course, in dangerous situations, this doesn't apply.

"Alright, everyone understand? Be careful, Flying Eagle, let's go."

After seeing Henry and Flying Eagle lurking not far from the main gate, Antora and Lorian each guarded a corner and began to assassinate the sentries with bows and arrows.

After silently eliminating the two, they made a commotion as they continued clearing the three Lemoine raiders on the corridor where the Maxim machine gun was located. Although the Lemoine raiders couldn't see where the enemy came from, the corpses falling from the corridor alerted them.

They began patrolling the area.

Seeing this opportunity, Henry didn't hold back anymore. As usual, he first took a bottle of magic supplement, then dual-wielded revolvers and unleashed a flurry of fire, with Eagle providing support from the side.

They wiped out seven or eight Lemoine raiders in one go.

When they were about to retaliate, Henry and Eagle hid back behind the wooden wall by the door.

Reload and wait for the next opportunity to fire.

During this time, several more people climbed up the tower to try and open fire with the Maxim machine gun, but they were all shot dead from a distance by Antora and Lorian, who were lying in ambush.

Seeing the enemy gather together and prepare to charge, Henry took out a mirror to confirm their approximate location, and without saying a word, lit two explosives and threw them in.

As soon as the explosion rang out, he immediately flashed out and continued to activate Musou mode.

This wave wiped out the remaining Lemoine raiders.

Send the eagles to finish them off one by one, and watch out for the hiders.

Henry pulled out a badly wounded man, stepped on his wounds, and asked, "Where is your leader, Wofford? Where is he?"

"It hurts, it hurts, let me go! He's in the cellar next door. Yesterday, he kidnapped the daughter of a big shot. He just went to check on the hostage."

He signaled to the eagle to be careful.

Henry arrived at the entrance to the cellar. It was quiet down there, but Henry sensed a slight danger.

"Come out, Wofford, don't force me to just throw the explosives in," Henry shouted, no longer planning to go down.

There was still no response.

"I'll count to three: one... two..."

"Wait, wait, are you crazy? I have Senator Saint Denis's daughter in my hands. I don't believe you dare to hurt her. Senator Fellos won't let you get away with this."

Wofford couldn't stand the brutality of throwing bombs and spoke up.

"Who is Fellow? You don't think we're here to rescue someone, do you? We're not some righteous people. My brother and I just pulled off a big crime up north and fled here. We're just asking to borrow some money from you. In short, if you don't have money to buy your life, then you're not coming out at all."

Henry immediately put on an act, saying that the hostages should be rescued if possible, but he couldn't put himself in a passive and dangerous situation.

"Yes, I have it, I have $5. I hid it. Let me go, let me go and I'll give it to you."

Seeing how fierce Henry was, Wofford felt a pang of regret, but also a sense of relief. At least he was safe.

"Only 5? You're kidding me. This is such a big camp. I heard you're quite famous in this state. So little? I think you're more interested in money than your life. I'll grant your wish."

"No, no, ten thousand, ten thousand, I really only have this much."

"Ten thousand? If it's only ten thousand, then you can't leave intact. If it's only ten thousand, leave one hand behind, and I'll let you go."

“No, no, I can’t live without my hands. I’ve got it! I’ve got it! I have a way to get more money. I can get Congressman Fellos to pay to ransom his daughter. I’ve already sent someone to contact her father, and the person I sent will be back soon,” Wofford said hurriedly.
