A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 11 Plans Can't Keep Up With Changes
Dutch looked at Hosea and said earnestly: "Look at me, Hosea, I'm not dead..."

"Even you are not dead. You are standing right in front of me now."

Although these words may sound harsh, I have to say that in every action, no matter how dangerous the situation is, Dutch will always be at the front to lead everyone.

In the face of danger, he never flinched.

Hosea just looked at Dutch and silently lit another cigarette.

Arthur, who was standing aside, saw that Hosea had never let the cigarette leave his right hand recently.

Dutch continued:

"We need money. All our things are in Blackwater Town. If there are only a few of us as before, then we can keep a low profile now and not think about money issues, but we still have to take care of two wounded people, John and Dai. Wei is still lying in bed, and we still have to take care of the girls and children, as well as the uncle and the pastor. How are we going to feed these people? This requires money."

"You are all my family and I need you to be able to stand up for me and not always question my decisions, especially in this situation."

It has to be said that Dutch is Dutch, and these emotional words made Hosea bow his head.

At this moment, Arthur felt that he should say something, and Dutch's sincere look really touched him.

Arthur couldn't help but recall the memory of being adopted by Dutch when he was a child. He recalled that in those days, it was Dutch who taught him how to shoot and how to read.

Those days were happy and free days.

At that time, Hosea was still a handsome young man, and although Dutch's appearance had not changed much, Arthur always felt that he was happier every day at that time than he is now.

Hosea lowered his head and said:
"Look, Dutch, I'm not trying to tear you down, I just... I just want to follow our plan, which is to keep a low profile, keep a low profile, and then we can go back to the west."

"It's one thing to rob the Odlisk Gang and steal food from them. They are a bunch of scum, and no one cares about their lives, but what if you want to rob the train?"

Dutch said carefully: "What choice do we have?"

"Levitix Cornwall is not someone to be trifled with, Dutch." Arthur said in a timely manner.

Hosea nodded in agreement, and then added:

"Arthur is right. He is a successful railroad tycoon, sugar boss, and oil businessman. We don't want to get into this trouble."

Daqi seemed noncommittal. Isn't it just people who rob the rich and give to the poor, and then help the poor of people like them?

"Sounds great to me, doesn't it? It sounds like he has a lot of good stuff to share with us..."

As Dutch was talking, he was suddenly interrupted by a hurried voice outside the door.

The three of them got up and were about to go out to check, when Bill opened the door of the cabin and said breathlessly:
"Everyone in the Orderic Gang camp is taking action!"

Bill and Javier were sent to keep an eye on the movements of the Orderric Gang. When they discovered that they were all preparing for action, Javier made a decisive judgment and stayed behind to continue to keep tabs on him to prevent other misjudgments. On the other side, Bill came back immediately and reported the news to everyone in Dutch.

"damn it."

Dutch cursed, feeling like he wasted his time trying to convince Hosea.

He may not have time to make any further adjustments to his plans.

Now there was no more time for them to waste. Dutch pushed the door open and went out. Several people in the room followed him. He shouted to everyone outside the room:
"Gentlemen! It's time to succeed in our cause. Everyone saddle up their horses and we're going to go!"

Except for a few who were really not good at using force and those who were bedridden, all the other men took action.

The horses were all ready, and it didn't take much time to get their weapons.

Soon everyone was ready and mounted on their horses, waiting for orders.Just as he was about to set off, Dutch stopped Arthur who was stroking the radish on the horse, and said:

"Arthur, you first go to the O'Drisco gang's camp to find Javier, and then come together to meet us at the location marked on the map."

What kind of trick is this?The feeling of absurdity welled up in my heart. At this time, if I didn't follow Da Qi, there would be no one to save the situation when the plan went wrong.

Arthur looked at Dutch, trying to understand what he was planning. Dutch seemed normal. When he saw Arthur looking at him, he said:

"Believe me Arthur, I have a feeling this plan will be successful."

"There is only one person in Javier. I told him something special. You go and help him. You are needed more. We have so many people here. There will be no problem."

Arthur nodded. He has thought clearly recently. For Dutch, no matter how much you take the initiative to do, he will not think well of you, but what you should do is just follow his plan. As long as you are obedient and always stand on his side, you will be the person he trusts the most.

Dutch is always very tolerant of failure, making one wonder if he doesn't actually care about the outcome.

So now, Arthur will not ask why he went alone instead of asking the priest or others to make a trip.

Just do it yourself, and it will be repaying Dutch's kindness.

Arthur told himself in his mind that this was the Vanderlyn Gang, Dutch's gang, a gang founded by loyalty to Dutch.

Before setting off, Arthur originally planned to give Hosea a few more words, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Faced with Dutch's emotional card, if there was any surprise, Hosea could do nothing to stop it.

After all, Hosea's advice can only work if Dutch is willing to listen.

Arthur knew this very well, otherwise there would have been a failed robbery of the ferry.

……

So, at the moment when the plan was being implemented vigorously, Arthur, one man and one horse, slowly and leisurely headed towards the camp of Odrisk that he had explored before.

Along the way, the sky has cleared and the snow on the roadside has begun to slowly melt.

When Arthur came around the camp, it didn't take much effort to find the marks left on the tree trunks and quickly found Javier hiding in the woods.

"Arthur? Why are you here?" Javier was very surprised that the person coming was Arthur.

At this time, Dutch and the others should have received the news and set off for the planned ambush location, but Arthur, as the top thug in the gang, actually came to him. Although Dutch gave him a small job, he If it can be done, why send Arthur here? Could it be that something happened?

Facing the confused Javier, Arthur smiled and asked:

"What's the situation in the camp now? Is there anyone left behind?"

Javier put the gun in his hand back into the gun pocket and said:
"You didn't answer my question. There is only one horse keeper left in the camp. Colm left alone, but I saw what Colm said to the horse keeper."

Arthur said: "It was Dutch who asked me to come to you first. They will set off first, and then we will go and pick them up after we meet."

Javier nodded and said to Arthur: "Before that, we are going to have a good chat with the boy Odrisk who is watching the horses."

Colm did not act with the large army to rob the train, but left the camp alone. This horse-watching boy could talk to Colm and might know where Colm's base camp was.

Arthur picked up the binoculars without hesitation. When he saw the appearance of the horse-watching boy, he immediately recognized who this person was.

He didn't want to be troublesome at first, but he decisively said what are you waiting for? Let's take action.
