Wilderness Redemption Tour

Not knowing if there were other guards on the other side, Arthur and John did not come out from behind their respective shelters.

Sean was the closest to the gunman, and the last person he aimed at was Sean who had stuck his head out.

From where Arthur was, he only saw the bowler hat on Sean's head flying away. John, who was farther away and had a better view, was relieved when he saw Sean reaching out to touch his head after he called out Sean's name.

"Arthur, he should be fine." John observed the surrounding area and then said, "There are no enemies outside."

Arthur remained alert and quickly jumped off the train from the other side. He said, "Charles, Jamie, the three of us will go to the front to check. John, you and Sean stay here."

The three people below approached the rear of the car cautiously from two directions, but did not find any other enemies.

"John, observe from the front to see if there is anyone hiding inside."

As he said this, Arthur was standing by the back door, secretly observing the situation inside the carriage.

"no problem!"

After a while, John on the other side replied: "I didn't see anyone."

After hearing this, Arthur pushed the door open and walked into the guarded carriage with confidence.

This carriage is mostly filled with passengers' luggage, as well as some cabinets and shelves, among which there are also several metal safes.

"How do you feel, Sean? Did your hat save your life?" Arthur asked with a smile when he saw Sean standing behind John.

"Luck is also part of strength!" Sean insisted stubbornly, but then his tone softened. "Uh... Actually, I don't feel very good. I see double vision now."

"Oh? Isn't that a good thing? This way you have twice the chance of hitting someone."

"puff!"

After hearing Arthur's answer, Lin Yan almost laughed out loud, and Charles also smiled for a rare time. Only John laughed without any scruples.

"Haha, that's really funny..." Sean also laughed twice symbolically and said dryly.

While chatting, the five of them searched the luggage car together.

Soon, the few people who had gained nothing gathered around the few remaining safes in the carriage.

"What's displayed out in the open are just worthless junk. I think the valuable things are in these safes." Sean said, kicking one of the safes.

Arthur glanced at what he was holding and asked in confusion, "What are you doing with that?"

"You mean this thing?" Sean raised the tennis racket in his hand, swung it a few times and threw it aside. "I saw in the newspaper that this thing seems to be called a tennis racket, and it is used by those upper-class bastards for entertainment. Haha, only these rich people are willing to spend money on sports."

As they talked, several people formed a circle around the safes, and Arthur took out a piece of dynamite from his backpack. "Let's see if there's anything we can find here." After saying that, he lit the fuse and threw the dynamite into the circle.

After the explosion, several people re-entered the carriage.

The explosion was undoubtedly perfect. All the safe doors were damaged to varying degrees. Two of the doors were directly blown away, and the remaining ones could be pulled down with just a little force.

After stuffing all the cash, gold bars and jewelry into the bag in John's hand, Arthur stood up and said, "The work is done, it's time to leave."

Charles, who was guarding outside, whistled towards the woods after the explosion. When everyone got off the train, their horses also came to them in small steps.

Several people quickly mounted their horses and prepared to leave. Suddenly, Sean seemed to have seen something, pointed in the direction of the car and shouted: "Arthur, I'm afraid we are in trouble!"

Facing the direction of Sean's finger, Lin Yan vaguely saw two dim yellow spots of light. The next moment, the spots of light turned into four.

"There's one at the back too!" John said, looking towards the rear of the car.

"It's the mounted police!" Sean squinted his eyes and tried to distinguish them. He cursed, "Damn it! How come these guys came so quickly!"

"Don't be nervous." Arthur calmly commanded, "Get off the horse first and drive the horse back to the woods. We will guard this carriage and fight them."

After getting off the horse, Arthur put all the bullets in the saddle bag into his own bag. "Leave everything you loot behind, and take the guns and bullets with you."

"I'll go to the roof, Charles and Jamie guard the front door, John and Sean guard the back door, let's act now!" After assigning the tasks, Arthur nimbly climbed onto the roof by grabbing the escalator on the side of the car, and the others quickly stood in their respective positions. John and Charles also carefully destroyed all the light sources in the car one by one.

Lin Yan hid behind the door with a revolver in hand, and looked out with one eye. Several figures carrying lanterns walked closer and closer, and then stopped at a safe distance at the same time.

One of them drove his horse two more steps and said solemnly and loudly: "I know you are still in the car. Now, as the Lemoyne State Mounted Police, I order you to get off the car now, immediately, and surrender obediently. Do you hear me?"

Arthur lay on the roof of the car, aiming the rifle's scope at the other man's head. "Surrender? If we surrender, will you give us food and drink? We will be hanged anyway, so we'd rather fight. We have nothing to lose anyway."

After saying these polite words, he turned around and said, "To be honest, I'd better advise you to leave immediately. You all have families and relatives. There is no need to risk your life for work."

The policeman shook his head and said regretfully, "Since we are unwilling to give in, I can only sentence you to death here with regret."

"Prepare for an attack!" he ordered all the mounted police officers surrounding him.

"A word of advice." Arthur's finger rubbed the trigger.

"what?"

"Don't try to negotiate with desperadoes." After saying that, Arthur decisively pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

The "brave" policeman fell off his horse, fell to the ground, twitched a few times and then became motionless.

This gunshot was also the signal for the exchange of fire between the two sides. The next moment, the surrounding mounted police opened fire at the same time, and Lin Yan's ears suddenly rang with the crackling sound of bullets hitting the iron sheet.

After this violent storm, several people in the carriage stuck their heads out at the same time to fight back.

These mounted policemen all had lanterns hung on the heads of their horses and wore conspicuous white hats. This meant that the Van der Linde gang members in the carriage did not need to search for their targets in the night full of gunfire and bullets. They could just shoot at the places with light.

After just one round of exchange of gunfire, six of the surrounding mounted police were knocked down.

If there was no emergency, Lin Yan would not activate the Eye of Death. After all, if this skill was used too many times and for too long, the side effects would be huge, so it was better to save it for the critical moment.

Arthur, who was on the roof and had the best view, warned, "Be careful, there's another group coming, and there's people coming from the other side too."
