Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 154
On the second day of the camp, the news of their acquisition of the angel was almost known. The soldiers celebrated, as if the gold was already beckoning to them, but very few people knew the truth of the matter. These things were full of curses. of.
Of course, these people belonged to Burton’s bodyguards, as well as those who participated in the operation last night.
“Those renegade Spaniards brought angels and opened the way for our success.”
Burton announced to everyone in the morning, but the angel was still in the package.
He looked at the people around him, and his eyes stayed on Gordon and his sailors for a long time. They formed a small circle of their own, headed by the captain. Many sailors cheered and cheered when they heard the news, but Gordon did not make it too obvious. Instead, he seemed a little worried, as if he had already understood something.
Burton’s eyes continued to flicker. In the crowd, there were no more soldiers who might have dissent. They still trusted their superiors, as before.
Even in the army, every soldier has different ideas, because man is such a complex animal.
Although they are willing to obey orders, maintain humility, and die for the country or their superiors, Burton still cannot eliminate their fear of being human. He knows that the curse cannot be hidden, and there is always an explanation for this. , but not now, when people’s hearts are scattered, they are in trouble.
The team set off again, the sky has cleared, they don’t have much supplies, and on the road behind, they need to hunt for food.
After the rain, the jungle was a little quiet, and the whole forest was filled with the chirping of birds, but when it was a little later, the jungle began to be haunted by beasts.
Yesterday’s heavy rain hindered their hunting plan, and they were already hungry.
boom!
There were gunshots from the rear of the team. If nothing else, another beast should have been killed, but the team continued to move forward without any pause.
Their forward speed is not fast. There are sentries in front of them to explore the way, and then stop and go to ensure the safety of the entire team. In the afternoon, the whole team is preparing to build a camp on a higher position for the night. They need to hunt for There are few prey to ensure food supply, so it is not too late to set up camp.
And Gordon is also going to take this opportunity to talk to Burton, he needs to know more information, not make unreasonable guesses.
He found Burton, who was observing at the top of the mountain. At this time, the latter was planning the road behind with a telescope and checking if the Spaniards were nearby. Together with Gore, he also brought two personal guards, and the angel took him with him. , no one is allowed to approach.
“Your Excellency, I think I need to talk to you about the road ahead.”
Burton put down the telescope, looked at Gordon, and nodded to the others.
“Of course Gordon, do you have any good advice?”
Gore took the man a little further, leaving enough space for the two of them.
“About the curse, I know that there is a curse in El Dorado, I need to know the specific information, all!”
“I don’t think it’s good for you to know.”
Burton continued to look into the distance without looking back.
“Why, you should know that lies and concealment are not beneficial for us to tide over the difficulties together. You need to brainstorm ideas instead of thinking alone, even if…”
“Captain Gordon!”
Burton interrupted him directly.
“Do you think if you know all this, your sailors know all this, how do you think you should deal with it?”
“I will respect their opinions. If I don’t want to continue looking for El Dorado, I will allow them to leave and wait for my return.”
Gordon finds a reason he sees fit.
Burton looked over helplessly, and then said earnestly: “Of course, there is no problem with your approach, but I can’t. My men are all soldiers. The departure of the sailors will greatly shake the military’s heart. They may be afraid, and then full of Gossip and even exaggerate the horror of the curse. The Spaniards are still behind, if we are in chaos at this time.”
“But I know it now, and I’m ready to act on my own.”
“So I have to persuade you to give up this idea. It’s not good for us. We need to gather all our strength to get the Eldorado, and even the follow-up personnel are on the way.”
After Burton knew that the source was the final target, he sent two soldiers down the river to inform Lord Betke and organize another group of men to come.
“Why, what exactly does El Dorado have?”
Gordon looked at Burton, stared him in the eyes, and asked.
But Burton didn’t have any different emotions, just looked at him with a very calm look: “If you knew the specific curse and didn’t give those sailors a chance to choose, what do you think you would do? Someone would say , selfish Captain Gordon, use the life of the crew to gain profit, they may become rebellious. You have to know that since you became a privateer, enough crew members have been killed, maybe now the people below It’s a bit of a criticism, because you always like to meddle in things and deal with things that the Navy can handle.”
Gordon was speechless for a moment~www.mtlnovel.com~ just pondered for a long time.
“Then why did you keep those Spaniards?”
“To be honest, in the beginning, these Spaniards with angels were our best pathfinders, so I decided to let them go to the front to explore the curse, but accidents always happen. Last night, a few renegade pirates Brought the keys we needed, and now we’re having trouble finding those Spaniards from the jungle.”
“Your Excellency, this is most likely a conspiracy, and the Spaniards may also want to use us as a pathfinder!”
“Of course, this is not a conspiracy at all, but a conspiracy, but we have no choice.”
Gordon felt annoyed from the bottom of his heart. He never liked this kind of conspiracy and so-called intrigue, but liked to deal with things in the most direct way.
“The leader doesn’t need to let his subordinates know everything, for example, if El Dorado were just in some jungle, we probably wouldn’t meet these Spaniards in our lifetime, but why should they be worried about it? All you have to do is try to put on a confident look to guide the sailors.”
Burton felt that he had said enough, and then asked, “Even so, do you still want to know the specific news?”
Gordon gritted his teeth, he seemed to think that this scene was familiar, what he once said to Allen when they met Black Pearl in the gray fog.
“Yes, Your Excellency, I still want to know why.”
Burton was a little helpless, and then waved to Gordon.
The latter clung to his ears, and then heard that his words seemed a little vague in the wind.
“In El Dorado, there is a whole cursed army waiting for us…”
