Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 150

Gordon and his party finally found the camp where the large army was stationed when it was close to dawn.

Of course, it is extremely dangerous to drive in the jungle at night, but fortunately Gordon has eagle vision to avoid many tragedies.

“Thanks for your hard work.”

Burton hardly slept that night, and he has been waiting for the return of the group.

“How is the harvest?”

He asked the soldiers to bring coffee to refresh the hard-working people.

“Two logbooks, from Colonel Wilson and Adudin, but the angels we couldn’t bring back.”

Gore did not drink coffee first, but gave a report.

“As expected, the Spaniards are not so easy to fool. We should have organized a storm, instead of wasting time.”

Burton found a wooden pier at random and sat down, then took two sips of hot water.

He was not very optimistic about this plan from the very beginning, and just held the attitude of giving it a try.

“Brigadier General, it’s not a complete waste of time. At least we blew up their main fuel and gunpowder. Now they, like us, are starting to worry about these supplies.”

Hearing this, Burton was stunned for a moment, then nodded: “This is good news.”

He put down the water glass, and then began to read Wilson’s journal, frowning a little because he saw those two familiar words, curse.

“Sir, I think there are some things I need to report to you individually.”

Gore saw Burton’s expression and realized that he saw this aspect.

Burton was a little puzzled, didn’t he know there was something to avoid about Gordon?

“But it doesn’t matter, my adjutant, Captain Gordon is not an outsider.”

“Sir, I think it is necessary to talk to you alone about this.”

Although Burton was a little puzzled, Gore had been his adjutant for so many years, and he still followed Gore’s ideas.

“Sorry Gordon, I’ll leave first.”

He got up and went outside the tent with Gore, avoiding the crowded place, and then asked, “I hope it’s really important, otherwise it’s very bad for our relationship with Captain Gordon. Next time, be more tactful, even if If there is anything you need to avoid others and talk to me privately.”

“Of course, sir, but this matter is urgent and affects the life and death of each of us.”

“Did you say curses? I saw the angel’s eyes recorded by Captain Wilson, which control people’s hearts.”

“Actually, not only, in the spread of Spanish soldiers, the entire El Dorado is a huge curse. As long as someone enters there, they will be accompanied by death, no matter how far they flee.”

When it comes to this aspect, Burton is a little silent, everyone is cherishing their lives, he has seen the Black Pearl, that group of pirates who have been cursed and tortured for ten years, without any feeling, turned into skeletons under the moonlight, just thinking It’s a little creepy to think about.

Some things happen to others, it is a story, and it is an accident to yourself. No matter how ruthless and bloodthirsty people are, they will be extremely afraid when the butcher’s knife falls on their head.

“I’m not sure what the consequences will be if this information is released to the soldiers. They may even mutiny or deserters. The same is true for Captain Gordon. He has more than two dozen people under him, and if he chooses to leave, it is even more so. It will shake our military heart.”

Gore’s expression was very serious and a little ugly, and it was obvious that he had expected some of the results.

“Relax, my adjutant, this is just a legend, isn’t it?”

“Sir! You and I both know very well that these legends are likely to become true. You must know that for so many years, hundreds of years, no one has found El Dorado, which is almost impossible. I would rather believe it is true. Killed everyone found.”

At this time, Burton also began to seriously think about such a problem. The curse is terrible, but what he is more afraid of is the rise of the Spaniards because of his own fear.

“Sir, for the sake of everyone, I hope you will hold down the news until you complete the exploration of El Dorado.”

“What do you want me to do? To deceive my soldiers?”

“It’s just a suggestion, sir, what you do is entirely up to you.”

Ten minutes later, Gore and Burton returned to the tent. Gordon just felt the atmosphere was weird when he saw them.

“Did something happen?”

Burton seemed a little lost, but just sat back on his wooden stake and took a sip from the water glass.

“It’s alright, it’s just that I discussed it with Adjutant Gore and decided not to do anything with the Spaniards for the time being.”

Gordon frowned and seemed a little puzzled: “Commodore, if we find El Dorado, these Spaniards will be our biggest obstacle, and now they also lack gunpowder, both of us have been pulled back to the starting line, with the advantage of firepower. , we can defeat them.”

He paused for two seconds, and then thought of another thing: “These Spaniards seem to be talking about something, and their military morale has a big problem. When we were exploring the camp, few soldiers were on duty seriously, but two or three people were on duty. A bunch of talking about something~www.mtlnovel.com~ We even only need one salvo…”

“Captain Gordon!” Burton interrupted him: “This is just your guess. I have sent someone back to the estuary to inform Lord Betke that we will have more reinforcements and supplies. We have not It is necessary to fight with them, I promise, even if they find El Dorado, they will never take this step in the jungle.”

Burton’s remarks are reasonable, even Gordon didn’t feel anything wrong for a short time.

“Since you have made up your mind.”

……

At nine o’clock in the morning, the soldiers had packed up everything and set off again, this time they had a new target, a precise target – the source.

According to Captain Wilson’s journal:

We tortured the insider, and it was clear that he didn’t know so little. His father, after salvaging Pedro Cabral’s wreck, quickly understood what it meant. He didn’t report it to the government, let alone sell it, but spent five years Time explored the entire Caroni River valley and found that huge waterfall at the source,

No one can resist the temptation of El Dorado, even knowing that there may be curses and death there, but what does it matter? After all, it was just a rumor. With a fluke, the insider’s father organized a group of people to dig out the angel and set off towards the source. He was only fifteen years old at the time, so he did not participate, and of course he did not. I saw my father…

The sky is a little dark, looking at the black clouds floating in the distance, I feel a little depressed, it should be a heavy rain coming soon, which is not a good thing for pedestrians on the road. Of course, this also reduces the probability of being discovered by the Spaniards a lot.
