Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 144
In this way, after knowing what the Spaniards were looking for, Gordon and his party stopped their hasty steps and started to move steadily.
The Spaniards were not moving fast, they were digging something, so there was no need to hurry.
They relied on the camps left by the Spaniards and then fortified them, successfully preventing the attacks of many night beasts, and finally found the traces of the Spaniards after the fourth day.
“Great Falls, Commodore.”
As they entered the upper middle and upper reaches of the Caroni, they encountered the first great waterfall in the main river.
The Caroni River has a height difference of 210 meters from the source to the mouth of the river. Here, it is the first waterfall, and the boat can no longer move forward.
The Spaniard’s dinghy was dragged onto the beach and tied to a tree.
From here, they had to explore the jungle on foot.
Gore distributed the gunpowder, everyone packed it in a small bag, and then started to wrap the supplies in canvas.
“Every sailor brings supplies, don’t be alone, shoot directly in case of danger!”
Without the boat, their path in the jungle would be very dangerous, Gore kept telling the soldiers.
The soldiers basically carried a small amount of rations on their backs, and more were thrown on the boat. If there was not enough food, they would fish along the river banks or loot in the jungle.
“I think our Spaniards are not far away. The last camp we occupied showed that there was only a day difference, maybe less than 50 kilometers.”
Jon looked at the inspection equipment and said Gordon, who was preparing to set off with the sailors.
Gordon filled the musket with ammunition and looked around.
“Okay Jon, although it’s true, in this jungle, it’s a little hard to find another team, and maybe it’ll hit you in the face.”
“So we have to be vigilant, Captain.”
Gordon just nodded and set off with the sailor.
They made two turns under the waterfall. As expected, many stones were turned over, and there were traces of burying pots to make rice.
“They left in less than two hours.”
Jon touched the ashes of the bonfire, and it wasn’t even completely cool.
“Everyone be vigilant!”
Burton ordered this, and then found a place to sit and rest. The soldier brought water and handed it to him.
Gore has already led a team of soldiers to find a way to climb up. It shouldn’t be too difficult, just follow the roads opened by the Spaniards.
boom!
A loud gunshot sounded in the air, Burton frowned and put down the water in his hand.
The gunshot was not far away, not even ten kilometers, maybe not far above the waterfall.
In other words, the Spaniards are close at hand.
At this time, Gore also hurried back with the soldiers.
“Brigadier General, the Spaniards have been discovered!”
All the soldiers and sailors were on standby in the jungle below, while Burton took a small number of soldiers, Gordon took Mickey and Jon towards the road that had been opened and began to move upwards.
Gordon hid and found a high ground, leaned over it, and took out his telescope.
In some open space, the Spaniards had dug something out of the dirt and cheered, while an unruly pirate lay on the side, not sure if he had offended an officer or Redbeard himself.
After harvesting the news, he carefully climbed down.
“I think they have found the angel, what should we do next?”
“Have you seen what an angel is?”
Burton also pulled out the telescope, but due to the angle of view, he could only see a lot of Spaniards in the clearing in the forest.
“I didn’t see it clearly, but it should be a gold product. I can still recognize the golden light.”
“We should rush to kill these Spaniards and get the things back.”
Jon made bad ideas aside and encouraged Mickey.
“what do you think?”
Of course, this is not very good. Mickey rolled his eyes, and he was not the principal, so he could only reply in a low voice, “I think we should wait for the decision of the captain and the brigadier general.”
Burton thought for a long time. To be honest, his original plan was to kill those Spaniards, but now the form has changed.
“Look for a chance to steal it!”
Gordon suggested so.
The jungle is so big, as long as they steal these things and bypass it in another direction, it is a task of speed ratio.
“Sir! What if these Spaniards arrive after we reach El Dorado?”
Gore on the side couldn’t help but said that he never had the habit of letting the enemy follow him.
“I support Gordon’s proposal. When we find El Dorado first, these Spaniards will have to think carefully about whether they can beat us.”
Burton finally voted in favor of them. They lack gunpowder and bullets, and the attack is very disadvantageous, but if it is used for defense, it should be more than enough.
……
They drew up a rough plan, with Gordon taking Mickey to start, Gore taking ten soldiers to support, and more soldiers starting to bypass the Spaniards from farther~www.mtlnovel.com~As long as Gore As soon as they succeeded, they left here quickly.
Of course, all these plans have to wait until night to implement.
“What if the plan fails?”
This is the only situation Gore worries about.
“Failure? Then you can only prepare for a storm. Eldorado, it is absolutely not allowed to fall into the hands of the Spaniards.”
Burton replied.
It was night, and Gordon and Mitch began to approach the camp established by the Spaniards here.
At the place where the angel was found, the terrain was extremely flat and the field of vision was wide, making it the best place to camp.
The Spaniards had no idea that danger was approaching, nor did they appear in a hurry.
The exploration has finally paid off, which has proved that this is a good start. The soldiers are not allowed to drink alcohol at this time, but the pirates of the Dreadful Wee can’t handle so much, and many pirates are very drunk.
After all, the departure was the next morning.
“It’s really a monster that confuses people!”
Gordon, who was approaching, listened to the two soldiers discussing today’s affairs in a low voice.
“The pirate just looked at it, and the whole person seemed to be crazy, trying to **** the angel from their captain!”
“I saw that he drew his sword, so he was directly killed by Captain Wilson. It’s incredible, so many of us…”
When the angel was unearthed, everyone was ordered not to look directly into the angel’s eyes, but a pirate secretly glanced at it and went crazy in an instant.
“Do you think we can find El Dorado?” A soldier muttered in a low voice. A man went crazy just by looking at the angel, which made him have a lot of bad premonitions.
“Why do I think this might be a curse…”
