On the second day of the camp, the news of their angel was almost known, and the soldiers celebrated as if the gold was already beckoning to them, but very few people knew the truth of the matter, and these things were full of curses.

These were, of course, Burton's personal guards, as well as those who had joined 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 wrap.

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, led by the captain, and many sailors cheered when they heard the news, but Gordon was not too overtly happy, but seemed to be a little preoccupied, as if he had understood something.

Burton's gaze continued to wander, and in the crowd there were no more soldiers who might disagree, and they still trusted their commander, as before.

Even in the army, every soldier has a different mind, because man is such a complex animal.

Although they are willing to obey orders, remain humble, and be able to live and die for the sake of their country or their own governors, Burton still can't dispel their human fears, he knows that the curse can't be hidden, and there will always be an explanation for this matter, but not now, when people's hearts are scattered, it will be troublesome.

The party set off again, the skies had cleared, they didn't have much supplies, and on the road behind, they needed to hunt for food.

After the rain, the jungle is a little quiet, and the whole forest is full of birds, but later in the day, the jungle begins to infeste with predators.

Yesterday's heavy rain had hindered their plans to hunt for food, and they were already hungry.

Bang!

Gunshots rang out from the rear of the group, and if nothing else, another beast had been killed, but the team continued without pause.

They didn't move very fast, there were sentinels in front of them to find the way, and then stop and go to ensure the safety of the whole team, and by about the afternoon, the whole team was ready to set up camp on higher ground for the night, and they needed to hunt a lot of game to ensure food supply, so it was not too late to set up camp.

And Gordon is also ready to take this opportunity to talk to Burton, he needs to know more information, not speculation.

He found Burton, who was observing from the top of the mountain, who was planning the road behind him with a telescope and checking to see if the Spaniards were nearby, and he and Gore were accompanied by two guards, and the angel was with him, and no one was allowed to approach.

"Your Excellency, I feel I need to talk to you about the road ahead. ”

Burton put down his binoculars, looked at Gordon, and nodded to the others.

"Of course, Gordon, do you have any good suggestions?"

Gore walked a little further away with the people, leaving enough space for the two of them.

"Regarding the curse, I know that there is a curse in El Dorado, I need to know the specific news, all!"

"I think you probably don't want to know. ”

Burton continued to look into the distance and did not look back.

"Why, you should know that lies and concealments are not conducive to our common situation, you need to brainstorm and not think alone, even if it is ......"

"Captain Gordon!"

Burton interrupted him directly.

"What do you think would have happened if you had known all this, and your sailors had known all this?"

"I will respect their opinions, and if they do not want to continue their search for El Dorado, I will allow them to leave and wait for my return. ”

Gordon found a reason to think it was appropriate.

Burton looked at it a little helplessly, and then said earnestly: "Of course, there is no problem with what you do, but I can't, my men are all soldiers, and the departure of the sailors will greatly shake the morale of the army, and they may be afraid, and then full of gossip, and even more exaggerated the horror of the curse." The Spaniards are still behind, and if we mess with ourselves at this time. ”

"But I know now and am ready to act on my own mind. ”

"So I'll have to convince you to give up this idea, it's not good for us, we need to gather all our forces to get El Dorado, and even the follow-up personnel are on the way. ”

Once Burton knew that the source was the last target, he sent two soldiers down the river to inform Lord Bertke and organize another group of men to come over.

"Why, what did El Dorado fall to the ground?"

Gordon looked at Burton, stared into his eyes, and asked.

But Burton did not have the slightest emotion, but looked at him with a very calm gaze: "What do you think you would do if you knew the specific curse and did not give the sailors a choice? You have to know that you've had enough crew casualties since you became a privateer, and maybe the people down there are a lot of complaints now, because you're always nosy and dealing with things that would otherwise only be handled by the navy. ”

Gordon was a little speechless for a moment, but he 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 interview to check the curse, but accidents always happen, last night, a couple of renegade pirates brought the keys we needed, and now, we have some difficulty finding those Spaniards from the huge jungle. ”

"Your Excellency, this is most likely a conspiracy, and the Spaniards may also want to use us as a stepping stone!"

"Of course, it's not a conspiracy at all, it's a conspiracy, but we don't have a choice. ”

Gordon was genuinely irritated, he had never been very fond of such intrigues and so-called land schemes, but preferred to deal with things in the most direct way.

"A leader doesn't need to let his subordinates know everything, for example, if El Dorado was just in some jungle, we'd probably never meet these Spaniards in our lifetime, but why should they know about that concern? All you need to do is try to put on a convicted face to show the sailors the way. ”

Burton felt like 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 of this familiar scene, what he had said to Eren when they met Black Pearl in the gray mist.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I still want to know why. ”

Burton was a little helpless, then beckoned to Gordon.

The latter leaned over and heard his words seem a little faint in the wind.

"In El Dorado, a whole cursed army awaits us......"
