A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 173 The Third Shot

The battle between Arthur and this group of Lemoyne raiders started suddenly and ended very quickly.

The final result was naturally that Lindsay Walford was tied up and thrown on the back of a horse, and then taken away by Arthur and the others.

Waldford was now cursing and shouting:

"Who are you? I tell you, you have messed with the wrong person, you know it! My companions will come to save me, and each of you will receive the cruelest revenge from our Lemoyne Raiders!"

Listening to Wardford's endless abuse, Charlie slowed down his horse. After falling next to the horse carrying Wardford, he hit Wardford hard on the left side with the butt of his pistol. After touching his face, he made another close contact with his right cheek. This time, Waldford finally calmed down.

The group of people did not pay attention to this episode. Seeing that they were about to return to Rhodes Town, Martin finally asked Arthur about the questions he had during the battle:

"Boss, why did you let those Bravest family members go?"

Arthur thought Martin would endure it for a while before asking, so he said:
"Martin, you should really have done research instead of going to war."

Arthur felt that, with his inquiring habit, if he really did research, he would definitely be able to find something out.

"Hey, boss, I can't read." Martin scratched his head and said.

At this time, Eamonn just came back and said after communicating with his teammates who were returning from exploring the road ahead:

"Boss, there's no problem up front, no ambush was found."

Well, I have to say that after Charlie found Eamon and his group, Arthur could clearly feel that there was a big difference between people from the army and wild people like him in their work and many other places.

Let's just say that before, although Arthur and Dutch would send people to explore the road in advance, they were not as professional and careful as Eamonn and others.

Arthur just nodded to Eamonn, and then said to Charlie who looked back:
"Charlie, do you have any other comrades? Can you find more like Eamon and the others?"

Charlie thought for a moment, shook his head a little depressed and said:
"Gone."

Listening to the disappointment in Charlie's tone, Arthur felt as if he had asked a question he shouldn't have asked.

Think about it, after all, the Southern Army was defeated. Some people died, some were caught and imprisoned in the North, and more people who were lucky enough to survive probably died of alcohol or would be like the broken leg in Rhodes Town. like a veteran...

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed not right, Sean immediately took advantage of his presence. He smiled and said:

"Hey, we won a big victory, you guys can have some fun." Sean also poked Martin next to him and said:

"Hey, Martin, did you see my amazing performance just now? I'm not bragging. I shot them one by one and made them run away with their heads in their arms."

Martin frowned and recalled, and then said with great certainty:
"Sean, you must have mistaken you and the boss, right? I clearly only saw the boss shooting one enemy at a time. Well, although you shot a lot when you were around the boss..."

Upon hearing this, Sean's eyes widened, and he decisively interrupted Martin's words and said:

"You clearly saw it wrong. You said Arthur was standing next to me. How can you be sure that those people were not hit by me!"

Everyone laughed when they heard Sean's sophistry. While Arthur was sighing that Sean is such a living treasure, he also nodded and said affirmatively:

"Well, I think what Sean said makes sense. Martin, please don't continue to be stubborn with him. By the way, didn't you ask me why I let those Bravest family members go?"

Hearing that Arthur was about to answer his question, Martin stopped arguing with Sean about who shot him and just listened to Arthur explain:
"Of those Bravestres, I only recognize the leader. If I remember correctly, he is Bartholomew Bravestre. Well, yes, he is the man you killed. As for the rest I really don’t know those people, but it’s obvious that they don’t know me either. But there is no doubt that they are also members of the Bravest family. At this time, the Bravest family asked people to come and find them. Lemoyne Raiders, what do you think they want to do?”

Aemon, who was listening on the sidelines, couldn't help but replied:

"Rescue soldiers? Are you going to resist the bank's execution?"

Martin had a different opinion, saying:
"Break into Gray's house? Take revenge on them?" Arthur saw that several people were quite enthusiastic about participating, so he also asked Sean and Charlie:
"What about you? What do you think?"

"Kill." Charlie's answer was simple.

Sean bit his fingers and replied with certainty:
"Aemon and I have the same idea! So Arthur, just tell me, what do they want to do?"

"do not know."

"what?"

"what?"

"...?"

Seeing the expressions of several people eating shit, Arthur laughed happily, and then after finishing laughing, Arthur spread his hands and said:

"I'm not God, and I don't have omniscience and omnipotence."

"Then boss, why did you let the rest of the people go?" Eamonn asked seriously.

Arthur replied:
"For one thing, let them report to that old lady Catherine to let her know that her rescuers are gone, and then her only son is still dead. You say, such a breaking news, why don't you let her know it quickly? . Secondly, they have all surrendered, and I can’t exchange a few of them for money, so I’ll just save bullets.”

Sean looked in disbelief. Could Arthur's reason be a bit too casual?Eamonn and Charlie didn't think there was anything wrong with Arthur's answer.

Martin said:

"I seem to understand a little bit, but why don't you tell them that you are from the Gray family?"

"Do I need to say this? Don't worry, Martin, these guys who messed up will blame the Gray family themselves. Otherwise, how can they make the old woman believe that things are messed up and not It’s not their fault.”

After finishing speaking, Arthur looked at Rhodes Town right in front of him. After increasing his speed, he said:

"Drive! Let's go quickly. If we really want to prevent these two families from fighting each other this time, we have to do something. Sean, take the guy behind to the police station in a while, and then tell the deputy chief of police to let him He told Tavish for me that Moriarty has already done it at the bank, and as for the Lemoyne raiders, let’s treat it as a gift.”

……

"Good! Very good! Arthur Morgan did a great job! Haha!" Old Gray said with a laugh.

As for Archibald and Leigh Gray standing in front of him, only Leigh Gray asked with a strange look on his face:

"Arthur Morgan? Not Callahan?"

Old Gray ignored Leigh Gray's question, and finally Archibald explained:

"Chief, Callahan is just a fake name. In fact, this Arthur Morgan is a member of a well-known gang, the Van der Linde Gang, and a wanted criminal."

Leigh Gray looked shocked. Although he knew Callahan, no, this Arthur Morgan should not be a serious businessman, but the Van der Linde Gang?Isn't that the main culprit of the Blackwater Town robbery?
Old Gray did not give Leigh any time to continue being shocked. After a brief moment of excitement, he solemnly said:
"I'm going to visit Judge Holden now. Leigh, as I told you before, it's almost time to prepare the manpower, and then go and take that bitch Catherine back to the police station."

Leigh Gray was still in a daze at this time. He didn't say anything after hearing Old Gray's words. He just nodded instinctively, and Archibald asked:
"So, this Arthur Morgan?"

"Well... indeed, he is no longer useful. Archibald, let Mr. Morgan shine for us again. If you do this..."
