After several days of waiting and preparation, it was finally time to hijack the train.

The Van der Linde gang took the operation very seriously, and deployed several experienced players, in addition to Arthur and Maika, who were trusted by Ducky, but also Charles, Javier, and John.

John's full name, John Marston, is a full 10 years younger than Arthur, but both are proud disciples of Dutch, so they have a very good relationship, like brothers.

When the gang was evading pursuit in the snowy mountains, John, who was out scouting, lost his way due to a snowstorm, and was attacked by wolves and was seriously injured, and he did not recover until a few days ago and resumed participating in gang activities.

Although Arthur often taunts John as a fool whose brain has been bitten off by a wolf, there is no denying that he is a shrewd and sophisticated outlaw.

This robbery was basically planned by John.

He had Arthur manage to steal a carriage full of fuel and then lay it across the tracks, which he had to stop if the occupants didn't want to be roasted chicken.

John was also a very principled man, and before the action began, he reminded the rest of the group:

"Remember, the people on the train are innocent, we just need money, not life."

Maika replied impatiently, "Yes, yes, we know, Mr. Honorable Justice." ”

Of the few people involved in the robbery, he was the only one who took human life the least seriously.

Later, the five of them split up, with Arthur in charge of forcing the train to stop, while the rest took refuge in the nearby woods.

The whole process went very smoothly, as revealed in the intelligence, the carriage was full of rich businessmen and ladies of wealthy families, but the defense force was almost zero.

Charles stayed outside to watch the wind, and Arthur and others broke into the carriage to loot the goods.

If someone doesn't cooperate, they will be severely beaten, but the members always adhere to the principle of not killing indiscriminately, and even the murderous Maika is very restrained.

And their actions have paid off handsomely.

The passengers had $1,500 in cash alone, not to mention a lot of jewelry and valuables.

But when the five of them returned with a full load, a few lights appeared in the dense forest in the distance.

Charles issued a timely warning to inform his companions that someone was coming.

Arthur thought it was the State Border Patrol, so he planned to wait and see, and if there were not many people coming, he could completely deal with these people before leaving.

"There are a lot of them, at least 30 of them!" Maika shouted in a panic.

John's expression was solemn: "The situation is not right, it came too quickly, it feels like a trap." ”

Arthur shook his head, "I can't be sure, but I'll have to get out of here and get to a safe place anyway." ”

At this time, the mysterious people in the dense forest also showed their true faces.

They were uniformly dressed, serious, murderous, with long spears and cannons on their backs, and looked like a bunch of outlaws than Arthur.

At the head was a bald man, riding a pure black high-headed war horse, with an unusually burly body and unique white pupils, revealing a cruel light in the dark night.

"Listen, you maggots-in-the-brains rotten people, I'm Kurt Hansen, the mayor of Rhodes! You're surrounded! ”

"Surrender as soon as possible, Lao Tzu can save a few guns, and the money left behind is just enough to buy coffins for a few of you!"

"Damn, dare to grab Lao Tzu's head, it's really not long-eyed!"

Han Sen spat on the ground in disgust, and as soon as he raised his chin, the Nether Dogs behind him immediately surrounded the train.

"Who is this Han Sen, I haven't heard of it before?" Maika scolded.

"Don't worry about it so much, run separately, I'll come to the palace!" Arthur pulled a scarf to cover his face: "There is a ranch to the north, we will meet there later." ”

With that, he ignored the others and raised his gun to shoot at the Nether Dog.

As the number three person in the gang and the number one thug, he is basically responsible for every action, and everyone is used to it.

Only after everyone had fled into the bushes behind him did Arthur begin to prepare for evacuation.

But the ghost dog is not a vegetarian either, chasing and intercepting them along the way, chasing the five people like rabbits.

In the end, only Arthur and Charles were left to reach Robard's ranch in the north.

"Javier was shot, John was caught by the other side in order to save him, Mika didn't know, and he ran away from the beginning."

Charles hid behind the warehouse door, panting to report the situation.

Arthur forced a smile and tried to ease the tension: "We need to learn from Mikana bastard in the art of escaping. ”

Charles couldn't laugh: "What's next?" Go back and save people? ”

Arthur thought for a moment: "With just the two of us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save people, if the other party can't find it, we should go back to Rhodes, John and they will also be taken back, and then we will find a way." ”

Charles nodded, agreeing to his suggestion.

Then, the Indian half-breed suddenly remembered something: "Did you find out just now, those people don't seem to be able to kill, I obviously hit several just now, but"

Arthur looked out of the warehouse and said with a sigh of relief, "Found it." ”

Charles lowered his voice: "Do you think they will have something to do with that one?" Deliberately set a trap to catch us? ”

Arthur glanced at his companion: "If he wants our lives, does he need to be in such trouble?" ”

"That is what he said," Charles sat on the ground as if he had collapsed, "but what if he just likes to play with us like this?" ”

Arthur was about to answer, but heard movement outside.

"They're here again, what to do, Arthur?!"

"Hide, they don't know we're here."

As he spoke, Arthur cautiously looked out the window, and then was frightened into a cold sweat:

"Damn, they're going to blow up the warehouse with explosives, run!"

"Is this still the mayor, it's too lawless!" Charles jumped up from the ground like a spring, pulled his legs and ran towards the back door of the warehouse.

"Who made us thieves?" Arthur was equally fast.

Finally escaping from the pasture, the deadly chase resumes, and the two retrieve their horses that have been driven into the jungle and run north as if they were dead.

Based on their past experience, law enforcement officers do not leave their jurisdictions without permission.

But this time they miscalculated, the ghost dog didn't care about any jurisdiction or not, and if they couldn't catch it, they kept chasing it until they completed the task assigned above.

What's even more excessive is that Arthur and Charles ran out of bullets, and they didn't let the other side lose a single person.

It's a good idea to beat a horse, but the ghost dog that gets off the horse can run faster than any horse.

The two fled all the way from Lemon to the familiar New Hanover, and ran from dark to dawn, the horses under their crotches began to foam, and the ghost dogs still clung to their buttocks and chased after them.

"Front. Ahem, the Emerald Ranch ahead! Arthur's face turned pale: "We may be able to seek refuge from that gentleman." ”

Seeing that he was not in the right state, Charles asked with concern, "Are you okay?" Can it hold on? ”

Arthur clutched his chest and breathed heavily: "I'm okay cough cough, I guess I ran too fast, and the wind poured in." ”

I haven't been to Emerald Ranch for a while, but it's a different place.

The former country house was gradually replaced by an estate, and a high wall was built around the ranch with gunmen patrolling the wall.

Arthur and the others squeezed the last of their horses' strength and came to the gate.

The gunman on the wall snapped and asked, "Who?" Explain the intention, or we'll shoot! ”

Arthur coughed violently twice and replied with difficulty, "Let's look for us to find Mr. Leon." ”

The gunman looked at the two: "Mr. hasn't gotten up yet, let's come back later." ”

Charles helped the weakened Arthur off his horse and begged sincerely, "Someone is chasing us behind, we must go in and hide for a while, for the sake of that gentleman, I beg you." ”

The gunman, who was actually the Nether Dog, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally relented: "Come in, let's go to the police office first, and I'll go and tell Mr." ”

"Thank you, thank you so much." Charles thanked him gratefully, and then helped Arthur into the ranch.

After resting in the police room for a while, Arthur finally recovered and stopped coughing.

Someone informed them that Leon had woken up and took the two to the manor villa.

The door was opened by Bayek, whom Arthur knew very well, and when he saw him, Arthur felt a faint pain on half of his face.

"My master is waiting for you, come with me."

The two were then taken to a special reception room.

Wearing silk pajamas, Li Ang sat on a single sofa that looked like a lot of money, playing with an object in his hand on the armrest, and the whole person was in a very lazy and relaxed state.

"Mr. Morgan, why are you making such a mess today?"

In the face of inquiry, Arthur and Charles barely managed to squeeze out a hint of embarrassment but politeness.

Bayek quickly brought them two cups of hot tea: "Warm up, gentlemen." ”

If you ignore the bionic teardrop's fierce physique, just look at the decent tuxedo and meticulous bow tie, it is a bit of a British old butler.

Yacha and the others hurriedly thanked them, picked up their cups and drank them in large gulps.

Not only the horses, but also the people on the horses were exhausted after a night of traveling.

Li Ang patiently waited for them to finish drinking before he said, "The ladies in the family are still resting, so I won't invite you to visit, so it's better to tell me the two of you directly." ”

Arthur pondered the vocabulary for a moment and began to explain the ins and outs.

Of course, you can't talk nonsense about the robbery of the train, except that they got into trouble in Rhodes and were chased here.

Charles, on the other hand, was quietly observing Leon.

Unlike the terrifying creatures he saw last time in Blackwater, Leon today was unusually peaceful, no different from the rich people they often robbed.

But Charles didn't dare to take it lightly, he knew very well what kind of terrifying energy was contained under the other party's seemingly lazy body, and he couldn't help but stand up when he was swept by those ancient eyes.

Arthur stumbled over what happened to him and his companions, and then presented the $500 he had prepared in advance, which was a thick stack of bits and pieces.

"I agreed with you before that I would pay for the purchase of intelligence."

Leon looked at the wallet on the coffee table: "Mr. Morgan is a trustworthy man, but"

His 'but' made Arthur and Charles's hearts instantly hang in their throats.

"In a way, though, it seems like I rescued your companions." A mocking smile appeared on Leon's face.

Arthur was silent for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to take out all the money from this robbery.

To be honest, I was a little reluctant, after all, this money was obtained by my companions with great efforts, but there was really no other way but to find a way to compensate them later.

The coffee table was soon piled up with all sorts of belongings, in addition to cash and a large amount of jewelry.

Leon's eyes remained calm and lifeless, and he pulled out a dollar bill from it.

"Don't hide it, that Irishman is worth so much in my eyes."

"Bayek, help Mr. Morgan put things back together."

Although Leon's tone was full of contempt and arrogance, Arthur and Charles felt a warmth in their hearts.

They deserve to make a fortune, and they can only hide in the gutter as rats.

The pattern of being a person is very different.

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness that you will never forget." Arthur, who was stupid by PUA, said.

Charles's eyes were no longer as wary as they were just now.

As Arthur racked his brain to think about what other words of praise could be given, a gunman came to the reception room and whispered a few words in Bayek's ear.

Bayek reported the matter to Leon: "Colonel Hansen has arrived. ”

The faces of the two Fan Gang members, who had been completely relaxed, changed greatly.

They're all in this together!

Li Ang took in the reactions of the two and said, "Let him come in, just introduce two new friends to him." ”

Arthur and Charles listened to it like pins and needles, and their hearts were like ashes.

Naturally, you don't dare to resist, and it is even more impossible to escape, so you can only sit there obediently and wait for the judgment of fate.

Soon, the new mayor of Lodz walked into the reception room.

first said hello to Li Ang, and then turned to the two Fan Gang members: "You guys are running?" Like the two rabbits, it wasted a night's time. ”

Arthur was afraid of Li Ang, but he was not afraid of Han Sen, and replied unceremoniously: "A dog that can't even be chased by a rabbit is a waste of food to raise." ”

If it weren't for the fact that the gun had been taken away, he would have done more than just move his mouth now.

Han Sen laughed angrily: "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth, I hope you can have such a hard mouth when you go to the gallows!" ”

Arthur was about to fight back, when he heard Leon say lightly, "Sit down, Colonel." ”

"Yes, sir." Han Sen glared at Arthur and sat down next to him.

Li Ang looked like he didn't know what was going on, and said, "What happened, how could you two groups of people collide together?" ”

Han Sen put on a look of resentment very cooperatively: "They are robbing in my territory!" ”

Charles explained: "We didn't know he was in league with you beforehand. ”

Arthur nodded and admitted that he was a little afraid to speak now, because he had lied to Leon just now and did not say anything about robbing the train.

Li Ang was silent for a long time and asked Han Sen, "Our people aren't hurt, are they?" ”

Han Sen replied stiffly: "No, only a few horses were injured." ”

Arthur slandered in his heart, I want to be hurt, the problem is that I can't die!

Leon paused for another moment, as if making a decision.

It wasn't until the two of them were sweating that he spoke: "Since no one was hurt, then those who don't know are not guilty." For my sake, how about everyone shake hands and make peace? ”

"Bayek, bring me the wine."

"Mr. Morgan, you make amends to the Colonel, toast the wine, and the matter is over."

Arthur and the others must be willing, and it is definitely a good thing that they can escape the pursuit with a toast.

But Han Sen's face was full of reluctance: "Sir, you are too merciful, in the face of anyone who dares to challenge your authority, you should immediately give you thunderous measures!" ”

After the king of Dogtown finished singing red face, it was time for Leon to sing white face.

"We are new to the city, we should be more kind to others, I have told you more than once, restrain your temper and make more friends, have you forgotten all my words?"

Han Sen immediately made a sincere and frightened expression: "Don't dare to forget the teachings of the master. ”

The passionate performance of the two frightened Arthur and Charles into a daze.

Li Ang's image in the minds of the two is becoming more and more positive.

"Alright, I'll do as I say, Bayek, pour the wine."

After drinking the wine of atonement, Arthur repeatedly promised that the entire Fan Gang would never appear near the town of Rhodes in the future.

It's a little harder, though.

Han Sen said in his heart: After entering his own husband's urn, he still wanted to run, but there was no door.

Now that the two sides have reconciled, Arthur is no longer polite, and directly asks about his companions: "John and Javier, can you let them go?" ”

Han Sen didn't make it difficult, and said simply: "It's sent to Rhodes, you find time to get someone." ”

"Thank you!" Arthur toasted another glass of wine.

Several people drank about the same, Han Sen left first, and there were still many things to deal with in the town. Arthur and Charles also took their leave with Leon, and they were to go back to the camp to inform the other members of the group, and then go to Rhodes to collect the men.

Calm returned to the lively reception room.

Leon got up to go back to his bedroom, and Bayek dutifully followed.

On the way, Bayek asked puzzledly: "Forgive me for being stupid, why are you making such a complicated matter, you can directly control them." ”

Leon responded with a smile: "Add some color to the ordinary life." ”

Bayek realized that his master was purely for fun.

Delivered to the bedroom door, the bionic teardrops left consciously, and Li Ang opened the door and entered.

The eldest lady on the bed was sleeping soundly, whispering softly, and if you listened carefully, you would find that she was talking about the treasure.

The last time Leon spent a huge sum of $5 to buy a treasure map, she took her two younger sisters to hunt for treasure the next day, and finally found the treasure.

Despite being just $1,000 worth of gold bars, it was enough to inspire the three sisters.

These days, Nether Dogs have been helping them all over the world to buy other treasure maps.

Li Ang actually found his 'treasure' a few days ago.

[Item: Shattered Witch Heart]

[From the game Bayonetta 2]

This world beacon is also a gift from aliens, and that day at the summit of Shane Mountain, the alien flying saucer found Leon and Bella from a distance, and they were so frightened that they didn't even miss their faces, dropped their things and ran away.

Leon felt that it was a pity, and it would be difficult to find it again in the future if he missed this time.

And the beacon given by the aliens is still debatable whether it is a treasure or not, because the game "Bayonetta" is too old, although Sister Bei's name is like thunder, and then it was ported to the switch, but he really hasn't played it.

Due to his unfamiliarity with the plot, Leon has no plans to enter the world for the time being.

The heart that hid mysterious power, he studied for several days and couldn't find any way, so he could only put it on the shelf.

Lying back on the bed, Bella seemed to have an automatic wayfinding system installed, and stuck straight over.

Listening to the sound of her even, smooth breathing, Leon gradually became sleepy.
