A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 190 Asking for help and owing debts

I don't know whether it was God's blessing or the mercy of the goddess of luck. In this desperate situation, Dutch's mind suddenly became clear.

After a brief flash of inspiration.

Dutch suddenly remembered that at the lakeside of the camp, the small boat that he had brought back from a fishing trip with Hosea and Arthur was still parked there.

"Stop arguing! We haven't really reached the point of desperation yet!" Dutch shouted to stop everyone's quarrel.

Dach looked at the remaining people in the camp, and he did not deny that at the moment when he realized that he could still escape from the lake, the idea of ​​abandoning them and then leaving by himself did stay in his mind for a short time. moment.

But this idea was quickly abandoned by him. Dutch was not that depraved. When Milton asked everyone to hand over Dutch, no matter what they thought in their hearts, at least on the surface, no one chose to agree.

"Dutch, do you have a plan?"

"Yes, John..."

……

Under the cover of everyone, John rowed along the shore of Lake Luotie to a place where he could go ashore. Then, after snatching a passerby's horse, he ran all the way to Rhodes Town to find Arthur.

After briefly explaining to Arthur the current situation in the camp, John anxiously shouted:

"No time, Arthur!"

"..."

"Arthur?"

"All Milton wants is Dutch, doesn't he..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"..., what can I do? Tell me, Marston, what do you want me to do?"

Time passed by minute by minute, but the conversation between Arthur and John reached an impasse.

Back in the camp, when Dutch told him about the plan, John's first reaction was what kind of plan was this? What could Arthur do?
They had no choice but to ask Arthur for help, what else could they do?

John glanced at the clock in the corner again, and finally made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said:

"Arthur Morgan! I don't care what kind of person Dutch is in your heart. At least, at least you can't deny that it was him who brought you back, a child living on the streets, and he was the one who raised you 20 Year! Without him, would you have everything you have today!!"

"..."

"Arthur Morgan!!" John shouted desperately, looking at Arthur's silence, he continued: "Have you forgotten how much Dutch has done for you! He gave to you, gave to me, gave Gives all of us a chance to own a home."

"Daqi is your benefactor, your mentor, and even more so, your father!..."

At the end of the sentence, John Marston, a big man, actually choked up and tears welled up in his eyes. What was the use of saying this? He didn't believe that Arthur didn't know what he knew.

John didn't know why he was so emotional. To be honest, he never felt that he would be more loyal to Dutch than Arthur. He even noticed that the original Dutch seemed to have really changed. "That's enough, Marston, you go back now and let them hand over Dutch first. Then if the rest of you are unwilling to come to me, then you can first move to the old house in Shabeledi and plunder Lemoyne." The killer has escaped from there now, just wait there, I will find a way to rescue Dutch, I promise." Arthur frowned and said.

Just as John thought, of course Arthur also understood the words and truths he said, but it was not that he wanted to abandon Dutch, but that Dutch himself had abandoned his 'family'.

Every choice and decision he makes is taking him away from his 'family' step by step.

Although he had heard Arthur promise that he would rescue Dutch, John still asked:
"Can it really be done? Once Daqi is handed over..."

"If we can't do it, what other options do we have? Is it possible for you and Dutch to die together at Clemons Point?!"

John knew that what Arthur said was right. Even if the few people in the camp really chose to resist, he believed that someone would be able to escape, but who would be sacrificed this time?
Facing Pinkerton, who was fully prepared, a frontal breakthrough was nothing more than a last resort desperate struggle.

Arthur didn't say anything more to John, and after changing him to a new horse, he watched him leave.

"Arthur..."

Behind him, Sean called Arthur's name. Sean also heard the conversation between John and Arthur just now, but he didn't interrupt. He, a person who has already chosen to leave, is not suitable at this time. express his opinion.

Arthur didn't turn around, he just asked in an inexplicable tone:
"Sean, tell me, am I right to agree?"

"I don't know." Sean said in a low tone. After thinking for a moment, he continued:
"I only know that if you want to owe no one, then you will definitely owe yourself."

Hey, brat, does this sound reasonable?
I just don't know where he heard it from, Arthur thought so and smiled to himself, he said:
"I would rather forget those who owe me something than those who owe others. John is right. This is what I owe Dutch."

Sean understood that Arthur did not need his own comfort, so he asked:

"So, what do you need me to do? After all, you have to save Dutch from Pinkerton. I guess it's not that simple, right?"

Arthur nodded and said:

"You go and ask Martin to send a few people to guard Rhodes Station, and then bring the rest of the people to me. Then you go to Gray Manor to find Charlie and ask him to take the people to St. Denis." Guard the main road. If you encounter Pinkerton with Dutch, go ahead and kill them all. Remember, they must be with Dutch. If not, let them go."

"I understand. Then, what happens after the notification? What else do you need me to do?"

"Hmm... Then go to Pearson to buy some beef jerky. I quit smoking recently and my mouth always feels weird if I don't eat something?" Arthur said with a smile.

Sean, who didn't expect to be asked to do this, looked surprised. Isn't he facing a very urgent situation now?Buy beef jerky?
Arthur easily read Sean's thoughts from his face and said:

"The matter is not as serious as you think. Can Dutch hang himself right away? We have plenty of time, go and take it easy."

There are also some things that Arthur didn't tell Sean, that is, if he couldn't save Dutch even after trying his best, he would give up decisively.

Arthur still remembers what Strauss said to him in front of the bison carcass. He now has other companions who believe in him unconditionally and rely on him and need him to take care of him.

He, Arthur Morgan, was never alone.
