Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 129

The next day, the Jackdaw hurriedly docked at the port of La Guaira, took the appointment letter from Duke Strange, broke into the fortress directly, and successfully met Colonel Burton, no, it should be said that it was Burton Commodore.

With the credit for killing Barbossa’s gang of pirates and the duke’s support, he was directly promoted from colonel to brigadier general. At this time, he was drinking coffee leisurely in his exclusive office.

In the waters that La Guaira is responsible for, there has been peace recently, and the most rampant location for pirates is Nassau in the Bahamas, which has long been under the responsibility of the Spanish Navy and France.

Seeing Gordon’s intrusion, even the guards couldn’t stop him, Burton didn’t show any anger, but just smiled: “It seems that you have a good harvest this time, is there something wrong?”

“Brigadier General Burton, this time is following the king’s order to dispatch the Royal Navy stationed in La Guaira and Port Royal.”

Gordon first put on a business-like appearance, otherwise he would talk about family affairs first, and he didn’t know when he would talk about the topic.

Hearing Gordon say this, Burton also took a serious look, he must take His Majesty’s order seriously.

“Sit down and talk first, but there may be some problems with Port Royal.”

Gordon obeyed his words, sat down in the chair in front of him, then frowned and asked, “Is there any problem with Commodore Norrington recently?”

Burton just pursed his lips.

“Problem? The problem is big.”

“How?” Gordon didn’t hear what happened recently and was a little puzzled.

“We reported in the battle report that the Black Pearl was sunk on Dead Island, but now the ship is swaggering in the sea again. I have no problem, but Norrington got into big trouble.”

“Relationships are really different…”

“Sorry, I didn’t hear what you said clearly.”

“Don’t care about the details, so Norrington him?”

Burton took a sip of coffee: “Norrington resigned as Admiral of Port Royal, and then took his Interceptor and Intrepid to hunt down the Black Pearl all over the world. By the way, the current captain seems to be Jack Sparrow. , how did he escape from Dead Island?”

“Because you forgot one thing, I’m Captain Jack Sparrow…”

Jack’s smug look jumped out of Gordon’s mind again, making the corner of Gordon’s mouth twitch.

“Let’s not talk about this. If there are not enough manpower, we can transfer from other places. This is the transfer order signed by the Duke.”

Gordon took out the order from his pocket and gave it to Burton.

After Burton opened it to confirm that there was no problem, he handed it back to Gordon.

“Tell me, why is it so urgent that you should come back in thirty days or so.”

He noted when the order was signed.

“The sailors of the Explorer brought back the news of El Dorado, but they were attacked by the Spaniards at sea. They set off earlier than us. We chased for a month before finally catching up with them.”

Burton patted the table and was very angry: “How dare these Spaniards? Attacking the Imperial Navy ships, this is a naked declaration of war!”

Compared with the news of El Dorado, Burton was more concerned about the fact that the Spaniards dared to attack the Empire’s fleet, which is absolutely intolerable.

“Did the king give the order to go to war?”

“No, Commodore, all we have to do is find the El Dorado location before them, and then make sure that this wealth belongs to England, to His Majesty the King. Burton, you know, this wealth may be the rise of the Spanish navy. opportunity, we have to find it.”

“Where is the location?” Burton sullen, he certainly understood the importance, the Royal Navy finally defeated the Spanish Armada, and El Dorado is absolutely not allowed to fall into the hands of anyone else.

“Caroni River Valley.”

…

The entire port of La Guaira was almost in a state of combat readiness. Soldiers canceled their vacations, then armed, inspected ships, and moved supplies.

It is not easy to mobilize the soldiers. All afternoon, Burton was almost dealing with the defense of the port. The soldiers rushed to the main city of Calaska to mobilize the defense force, and then notified the governor.

The main city of Carlaska is only 20 kilometers away from the port, but across the mountains, only a winding path can lead to it.

At the same time, an order was sent to Governor Swan in Port Royal, who was going to mobilize soldiers from there to go directly to the mouth of the Caroni.

And they also need to load more small boats, no matter how big the battleships are in this exploration.

The sailing time was set for tomorrow morning, and Gordon also took advantage of this time to walk around the port with Allen to deal with the death of the sailors.

Three gold coins, this is what he promised. Even if the sailor dies, he will send the money back. This is the conscience of life.

The Jackdaw recruited seventy-six sailors here, eight of whom have now been killed.

Bang Bang Bang!

Gordon knocked on a one-story tile house that lived in the northern part of the port. The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds. It was far from the city and looked a little poor. Sailor Alvin’s home lives here.

Every sailor who boarded the ship filled out a deed that recorded his home address.

It was now evening, and during this time when people were all idle, there was a lot of laughter and laughter in the house. There should be three people in it.

“who are you looking for?”

The person who opened the door was a little girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. She was wearing a gray linen skirt, very plain, but she could see that she looked a bit like Alvin.

“Is this Alvin’s house?”

Gordon asked with a kind expression.

“My brother went to sea to become a sailor. He said that he made money to make the family better. It seems to be called the Jackdaw, and that was the ship he boarded.”

On the day Alvin was signed by the Jackdaw, he went home with twenty silver coins, and his father also drank a lot of wine for the first time to celebrate that his son had finally grown up and was able to earn money to support his family.

Twenty silver coins are the income of the family for almost three years, and it is this money that allows the family to buy a lot of things. My father doesn’t have to go out every morning at the wharf to carry it, and he doesn’t come back until very late.

Looking at the girl’s innocent expression, Gordon’s words got stuck in his throat and he didn’t know how to speak. In the end, he could only ask, “Is your father at home?”

Seeing that his daughter hadn’t come back, Alvin’s father came over and recognized Gordon’s identity at a glance.

How could he not know this young captain who was working at the dock, or the ship that his son was on, and even on the morning when Alvin left with the Jackdaw, he stood at the dock and watched the ship go away.

He tried hard to find his son, but only saw Alan following Gordon. He had already sensed something, and his hands were shaking a little.

“Ellie, go back to accompany your mother first, I’ll talk to these people.”

The girl called Ellie just glanced curiously at the person who came to his brother, and then ran back.

The man in front of him, a father, is only forty years old, but he has a lot of gray hair. Although his body is strong, he shows a lot of oldness.

He walked out of the house and closed the door quietly.
