Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 160
The soldiers threw the gold they picked up while running. In the comparison between money and life, life is more important.
When all the soldiers moved away from the river again and gasped in the jungle, Burton and Gore and his party came to this place, not panicking, but very calm and orderly, and the difference between the officers and the soldiers could be seen at a glance.
“Everyone stay calm, because you are a member of the British Royal Navy.” Burton stood in the most central position, so that everyone could hear his voice.
“You are soldiers, responsible for His Majesty the Emperor, and you shoulder the responsibility entrusted by the country to find the legendary El Dorado. When this mission begins, you should know one thing, the legendary things have been going on for hundreds of years. It must be hard, weird, and the road we are looking for is going to be very hard, and it is.”
“Sir, that’s a curse, we can’t deal with it!”
A soldier couldn’t help but refute, almost all the soldiers’ inner thoughts, they can’t use their own flesh and blood to fill those things from hell.
It is said that the soul of the cursed person will be dragged to **** and cannot be reborn.
“I know, it’s a curse. Many people have followed me to fight the most vicious pirate in the Caribbean, Barbossa. They have the immortality granted by the curse, but we will win in the end, the curse is just dirty , fragile little things, not devils, they are at best some devilish whispers.”
The calmness in Burton’s words has infected many soldiers. Since their generals are so calm, what reason do they have to be in chaos?
The soldiers who were far away also started to walk over, looking at Burton who was giving a speech.
Brigadier Generals have a clear purpose, they are not to die, everything is under control.
“The curse is terrible, but not invincible. Look at those Spaniards, they knew about the curse from the time they set out, but they didn’t back down. I’m sure they were right behind us.”
“You are soldiers of the British Royal Navy, the most elite soldiers in the world, aren’t you comparable to a group of Spaniards?”
“We spent decades of war and sacrificed countless people to make Britain rise on the sea. Is it because of your cowardice and your fear of the curse that all the sacrifices of our ancestors have been turned into vain? I The answer is no! How many people have we sacrificed to get to this point, do we have to give up at the gate of El Dorado in the end…”
More and more soldiers are infected. Although they are afraid, they have the determination to be loyal to the empire, even with their lives.
Gordon sat on the side, watching Burton’s textbook-like speech, confident, loud and full of provocation.
Are Spaniards fearless? Come on, those deserters, the whole camp is full of riots, but as Burton said, soldiers don’t have to know everything, just what the officers want them to know.
This is a true leader who can gather people’s hearts at any time, convince everyone, and continue to follow his orders.
The team is in great need of repair. Although the soldiers have regained their courage, it is still not the best time to explore.
The danger was imminent, Gordon just quietly commanded the sailor to sharpen the sword, and then watched Burton and Gore come over.
“It looks like things are going well.”
He put down the stone, then reinserted the machete into the scabbard.
“Actually, we have already suffered heavy losses. When we set out from the estuary, we had a full 200 people, and now there are less than 140 people left.”
“Any plans for the next step?”
Gordon frowned and looked around, feeling a little helpless. He brought 30 sailors, and now there are only 24 left.
Burton found a stone and sat down, then looked at Gordon seriously: “We’re going to form an exploration team to explore the situation first, Gordon, I need your help.”
Gordon is someone Burton can’t understand, a privateer captain with courage, perseverance and ambition. Of course, this kind of person has the ability to match, for example, he needs Gordon’s skills and knowledge now.
In Burton’s mind, Gordon always knew more than anyone else and was able to escape from thirty cursed pirates on Dead Island.
If exploring El Dorado, even if the entire army is wiped out, he believes that Gordon can bring back the information he wants.
“I think you should know the danger level of exploration. Why do you think I’m going to risk such a death in the past, as you said, I’m not a soldier.”
Everyone cherishes their life, and Gordon is no exception. He was born in Havana and does not have much sense of belonging to the United Kingdom. Even if he belongs to a member of the British privateers now, he does not have the consciousness to block his life. .
“Because in the official sense, you are also a captain serving His Majesty George, and now the Empire needs your contribution~www.mtlnovel.com~ If things are successful, you will have more rewards and privileges, and maybe even in One day in the future, become a member of the imperial aristocracy, an admiral, or a governor.”
Not to mention, Burton’s remarks completely grasped Gordon’s weakness. After he saw Captain Jack and the Assassin Organization, he began to want to get rid of the fate of becoming a pawn, and this was obviously an excellent opportunity. An opportunity to gamble with your life.
Although his heart was loosened, Gordon’s mouth did not loosen at all.
“Burton, I’m not your soldier, maybe we are friends out of personal friendship, but it’s not worth my life at all, because I know one thing, these are the future you picture, not the reality I can see. Interest, the future is always full of variables and dangers.”
At this time, Burton had a smile on the corner of his mouth. Although Gordon said he was reluctant, he had already fed back the conditions, that is, interests.
“Gold, Gordon, I can allow you and your sailors to take all the gold you can. Of course after these curses are resolved.”
The gold here is full of fineness, and each gold brick weighs two kilograms. Even if Gordon and the sailors use their shoulders to fight, they cannot take one-tenth of the gold in the river. This is the essence of El Dorado.
“sounds good.”
Gordon just replied lightly, but he couldn’t stop laughing in his heart: I didn’t expect that I could directly convert this gold, as long as I gave me enough time, I could take the entire El Dorado.
Well, of course, this kind of thing is just a thought, if he doesn’t want to be hunted down by the British Navy all over the world before he grows up.
But this idea has grown like wildfire, stealing the entire El Dorado!
