Chapter 69 The Ambush at Cremon Point

The horse gallops, and the horseshoes raise dust.

After leaving Strawberry Town, Arthur and Charles set out for the next goal.

"So, where are we going next?" Charles asked as he steered the horse forward steadily.

"Well, that place is called Cremon's Point. Dutch let us go and see, make sure it's safe, and it can save us from the limelight for a while."

"I haven't known him for long, but according to his usual tone, I really can't imagine that he would want to go south."

"Yes. And I understand now that there's no such thing as keeping a low profile."

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

"Besides, Daqi will not hide in a certain cave peacefully. Hiding and hiding is against his belief, and it is equivalent to admitting that we are just a group of despicable criminals..."

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

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

Arthur also knows this very well, and understands that this cannot be changed.

However, according to Daqi, the reason why they did this is to survive and to find a better world.

This is also the biggest difference between the Van der Lin gang and other gangs.

Or maybe they're not that different from other wanted gangs...

Just as Arthur's thoughts drifted away, Charles' deep voice called him back to the grim reality:

"So, when will it end?"

"what you mean?"

"Wandering, fleeing..."

Frowning, Arthur responded casually, "Daqi doesn't think this is an escape."

"You can call it whatever you like."

"I do not know either."

After a pause, Arthur's eyes flickered with confusion, "In the past, as long as you hid far enough and long enough, the problem would eventually disappear. After all, this is a big country."

"But now... with the Pinkerton group, plus the Cornwall who is not bad at money, and those bounty hunters like hyenas, I'm not so sure..."

Speaking of this, Arthur once again felt that if they hadn't committed the robbery in Heishui Town, they wouldn't be as embarrassed as they are now...

. . .

While talking, the two walked south along the edge of the Lake of Iron, and did not arrive at Cape Cremon that Rorschach had mentioned until ten o'clock in the evening.

a good news and a bad news
The good news is that Rorschach was right.

This place is indeed very good.

Among the lush jungle, there is a relatively flat grassland, which is hidden and safe.

The bad news, however, is that someone seems to have gotten there first.

On the grass, two tents have already been set up, surrounded by many daily necessities, tables and chairs.

The bonfire surrounded by stones seemed to be still burning.

Other than that, no one can be seen.

"Looks like it's abandoned, let's go check it out."

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

"Look! There's a man tied up there!"

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

The two drew their pistols without hesitation, ready to fight.

Looking around, Arthur, holding guns in both hands, gave Charles a look, "Something's not right...Charles, go up and untie him."

"it is good."

Holding a short double-barreled shotgun and pulling out the dagger at his waist, Charles nodded, then bent slightly, and walked slowly towards the tied man on the ground.

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

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

Before the words fell, several gunshots came from the forest!

"Find cover!"

Reminding Charles loudly, Arthur reacted quickly and hid behind a tree trunk, shooting several enemies who rushed out of the woods.

Charles also hid behind the nearest tent without hesitation, and began to fight back.

There are not many enemies, only five.

However, even if a trap is set, there is an advantage in numbers.

But in front of the top Western powers like Arthur and Charles, it's not enough to look at.

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

But Arthur and Charles are unscathed...

After confirming that there were no other enemies, the two came 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' eyes fell on the man whose hands and feet were bound.

After cutting the rope on the man and pulling the man with a mustache up from the ground, Charles asked casually, "Are you okay?"

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

The man's language made Arthur and Charles look at each other in blank dismay.

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

Realizing that the two men who saved his life could not understand his own language, Mustache jumped out two English words in awkward English:
"German...do you understand?"

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

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

Arthur and Charles had serious expressions on their faces, drew their guns at the same time, and turned around.

At the same time, a familiar voice sounded:
"Don't shoot!"

When Arthur saw the face of the visitor, he couldn't help being a little surprised:

"Rorschach?!"

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

"Hey! Arthur, and Charles."

After confirming that it was not an enemy, Arthur put away his weapon and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Well... I'll come and see. However, I'm glad you took my advice into consideration."

After a pause, Rorschach looked around and smiled: "Is this place not bad?"

This place is a new camping place that Van der Lin accidentally found after helping everyone leave Valentine in the game.

It was also Rorschach's favorite campsite when he was playing games.

It is close to the shore of Iron Lake, with abundant water and beautiful scenery, especially in the setting sun.

In order to save the Van der Lin gang and others from the trouble of finding a place to camp, he suggested that they come here.

"It's okay, just because of this place, I almost got my head blown off."

Looking around, his eyes swept across those corpses, Luo Xia's expression changed slightly, and he asked knowingly:
"This is how the same thing?"

Hearing this, Arthur briefly recounted what happened just now...
