Chapter 68 The Ambush at Cape Cremont

The horse gallops, and the horse's hooves raise dust.

After leaving Strawberry Town, Arthur and Charles headed towards the next target.

"So, where are we going next?" Charles asked while controlling the horse forward steadily.

"Well, that place is called Cape Claymond. Dutch let us go and check it out, make sure it is safe, and can help us escape the limelight for a while."

"It's not long since I knew him, but, according to his usual tone, I really didn't expect that he would want to go south."

"That's right. And I understand now, there's nothing to keep a low profile."

"We have too many people, and we can't keep a low profile even if we want to..."

"And, Daqi will not hide in a cave peacefully. Hiding against his beliefs is equivalent to admitting that we are just a group of despicable criminals..."

Hearing this, Charles, who was riding a horse and following Arthur, hesitated for a moment before saying, "But we are!"

Yes, they are just a group of despicable criminals who rob, kill, and do almost all evil.

Arthur also knew this very well and understood that this could not be changed.

However, according to Dutch, they did this for survival and to find a better world.

This is also the biggest difference between the Vanderlin Gang and other gangs.

Or maybe, they are actually no different from other wanted gangs...

Just as Arthur's thoughts drifted a little away, Charles's low voice once again called him back to the harsh reality:

“So, when will it end?”

"What are you referring to?"

"Rive, escape..."

With a raised brow, Arthur responded casually: "Duqi doesn't think this is an escape."

"You can call me whatever you like."

"I don't know either."

After a pause, Arthur's eyes flashed with a confused light, "In the past, as long as you hide far enough and long enough, the problem will eventually disappear. After all, this is a big country."

"But now... with Pinkton, and the Cornwall who is not short of money, and those bounty hunters like hyenas, I'm not sure..."

Speaking of this, Arthur felt once again that if they had not committed that robbery in Blackwater Town, they would not have been so embarrassed as they are now...

...

While talking, the two of them walked south along the edge of the Iron Lake, until ten minutes later, before they arrived at Cape Claymond in Rorschach's mouth.

A good news, and a bad news

The good news is that Rorschach is right.

This place is really good.

Among the lush dense forests, there is a relatively flat grassland, hidden and safe.

However, the bad news is that it seems that some people have taken the lead.

There are two tents on the grass, and there are many daily necessities and tables and chairs around them.

The bonfire surrounded by stones seemed to be still burning.

Apart from that, no one can be seen.

"It looks like it's abandoned, let's go and have a look."

While talking, the two of them jumped off their horses and walked towards the camp.

"Look! There is a man tied up there!"

At this time, the two of them also found a man with his hands and feet tied up. They were struggling on the ground and suddenly felt something was wrong.

The two of them pulled out their pistols without hesitation and prepared for battle.

After looking around, Arthur, holding guns in both hands, gave Charles a look, "It's not right... Charles, you go up and untire him."

"good."

While holding a short double-tube shotgun and taking out the dagger from his waist, Charles nodded, then bent his body slightly and walked slowly towards the man tied to the ground.

And just as Charles used a knife to separate the strips of cloth that tied the man's mouth, the man immediately shouted in a language they couldn't understand.

"Be careful! Be careful! This is a trap!!!"

Before he finished speaking, several gunfires came from the forest!

"Find cover!"

He loudly reminded Charles, and Arthur reacted quickly and hid behind the trunks on the side, aiming at the enemies who rushed out of the woods, with only a few shots.

Charles also hid in the nearby tent without hesitation and began to fight back.

There are not many enemies, only five people.

However, even if a trap is set, the number of people has an advantage.

But in the face of top Western powers like Arthur and Charles, it is not enough to see.

In just a few minutes, all the enemies were turned into corpses.

But Arthur and Charles were not hurt at all...

After confirming that there were no other enemies, the two walked out of their respective bunkers.

“What’s the situation?”

"I don't know either. But it must have something to do with this guy..."

After saying that, Arthur and Charles's eyes fell on the man with his hands and feet tied.

After cutting off the ropes on the man and pulling the man with a mustache up from the ground, Charles asked casually: "How are you?"

"Thank you, thank you so much..."

The man's words made Arthur and Charles look at each other.

"What did you say? I don't understand what you said."

Realizing that these two men who saved their lives couldn't understand their language, Xiao Wang's mustache popped up two English words in a bit awkward English:

"Do you understand German?"

The two looked at each other, and Arthur shook his head, "No."

Just as Arthur was about to drive the man away, a sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind the two of them!

Arthur and Charles' expressions suddenly became solemn, and they drew their guns at the same time and turned around.

At the same time, a familiar voice rang out:

"Don't shoot!"

When Arthur saw the person's face clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised:

"Rothar?!"

Holding the reins in his hand, Rorschach, sitting on the horse's back, pulled the brim of his hat and greeted the two of them:

"Hey! Arthur, and Charles."

Confirmed that it was not an enemy, Arthur asked while putting away his weapons, "Why are you here?"

"Well... I'll come and take a look. But, I'm glad you guys listened to my advice."

After a pause, Roxia looked around and smiled: "Is this place good?"

This place is a new camping site that Van Delin accidentally found after leaving Valentine during the game.

It is also Rorschach's favorite camping location when playing games.

It is close to the shore of Boiled Iron Lake, with abundant water and beautiful scenery, which is particularly charming under the sunset.

In order to save the trouble of finding a place to camp, he suggested that they come here.

"It's okay, it's just for this place that I almost got beaten up in my head."

He looked around and glanced over the corpses. Luo Xia's expression changed slightly, and he asked knowingly:

"What's going on?"
