Chapter 182: Mission Harvest
Ten days later, Gordon and the remaining sailors rushed back to the mouth of the river, where there were still four battleships, countless soldiers were still carrying supplies from here, and Bertke led the cavalry to bring back the news of the existence of the El Dorado, although the final decision had to wait for the king's order, but this did not affect the collection of supplies and personnel.
He didn't say anything, but took the men aboard the Jackdaw, and they seemed to be a little puzzled by the soldiers' notes.
"Where are you going? Brigadier General Burton?"
Captain Gordon had returned, and the news of his preparation for departure had been reported to Betke, who had arrived on horseback.
"It's all over Lord, El Dorado is no longer there!"
Gordon's side face was red from the sun, and he couldn't open his eyes.
"Pull the anchor up and get out of here!"
He urged the sailors that the Jackdaw's damage from the battle had almost been repaired, but it still looked a little bleak, the ship had been docked for too long, it needed to enter the water, and that was where he was supposed to be.
"Please answer my question, Captain Gordon, or I can't guarantee that your ship won't be reduced to pieces when it leaves the shore!"
Betek was a little annoyed, and the person in front of him didn't answer the question, and he didn't take himself seriously at all.
"Isn't it our freedom to go where, Lord, we are not soldiers, but privateers, and the Commodore is still there, but as expected, he is coming back soon. β
Gordon's tone was a little dull now, because he had fallen out with Burton, because of the problem of faith, before leaving, he tried to convince this stubborn believer many times, but the end result was that he was kicked out by the soldiers, and he was told to leave here quickly.
Well, the real tone was not so kind, and Burton roared loudly in the tent: "Get out of here!"
What else could Captain Gordon do, he could only take people away, very embarrassed.
Bertke didn't say anything more, but watched as the Jackdaw set sail and the white sails were raised.
"Sir, do you need to sink them?"
The stereotypical adjutant Mercer looked at the ship that was about to leave, and asked indifferently, logically speaking, they should not let anyone who knows leave, especially one who has all the information about El Dorado.
He knew how much this kind of intelligence was worth, and how many storms it could set off on the sea.
Betek was silent for a long time and shook his head: "Let them go, as a privateer, he has done enough. β
After saying that, he turned around and left, if the El Dorado really changes, all plans need to be adjusted.
......
"Captain, what's our course?"
Alan asked, and Gordon ordered a hasty sail, but none of them gave an explanation.
Gordon didn't reply, let the boat leave the shore, and then floated with the current, but he took a bottle of rum from the box and drank it down.
"Sure enough, wine is a good thing, and I'm just a captain, so why bother touching those things. β
He leaned against the side of the ship, burped, and was a little silent as he looked at his somewhat dilapidated ship, with only half of the crew remaining.
The El Dorado party destroyed almost all of Gordon's plans and layouts, and even caused a lot of trouble when they came back, and they were a little disheartened at this time.
Everyone's ambition increased with increased ability, and what was once smooth sailing allowed him to get enough gold, enough privileges, bigger ships, and more artillery.
But when he had to grovel when faced with the high-ranking kingdoms, he began to realize that he needed to have a territory of his own, like the pirate Nassau, like the governor of the ruling side, and even more like the nobles who had a fiefdom.
No one wants to be in someone else's hands all the time, and El Dorado is a good opportunity, but right now, it's all in vain.
"Captain!"
Mickey and Alan looked at each other, then dragged Gordon straight back to the captain's quarters, where he was mounted against the wall.
"No matter how depressed, angry and helpless you are, you are never allowed to show it in front of the sailors, if you lose your direction as a captain, people's hearts will be scattered!"
Gordon's life had lost its direction, yes, from the beginning of the curse, from the moment of the conflict at Burton, he felt at a loss.
"You are a born Assassin, Gordon, but you need more guidance, remember, Tulum. β
The Night Stalker's words began to echo in his ears, and he knew that he had lost his way, and that perhaps the Assassins would give him a lot of guidance.
"Assassins, Alan, the course is Tulum, I think I should meet them. β
The bloodline of the ancestors...... Gordon still remembered Mimir's words, anyway, it was all about the Assassins, and he just hoped that these Assassins would be as easy to get along with as the legend suggests.
"Yes Captain!"
Seeing that his captain finally cheered up a lot, Alan took the order and went out, just giving Mickey a well-taken look.
"Everyone hoists the sails, our goal is Tulum ......"
Alan's loud command faded as the door to the captain's room closed, leaving only Mickey and Gordon in the room.
Gordon pushed Mickey away, and then found his chair and sat down comfortably, his captain's room, it was a long time since he had passed.
Sunlight poured in through the window behind him, illuminating the countless dust in the air, but it calmed Gordon's whole body a lot.
"Don't worry, Mickey, I'll cheer myself up soon. β
He smiled a bitter smile again, and took a big sip of rum.
"Everything will be fine......"
"Captain, think about how we have gone from the original COCO, a small ship, to where we are now, and it's a big deal to start all over again. β
Gordon smiled and nodded, then watched Mickey leave before grabbing a handful of his hair, very irritated.
"Damn!" he let out a low growl, gritting his teeth, nothing really went according to his own thoughts, and it was as if a shackle had been put on his body, constantly rolling towards the center of the storm, towards those exchanges that had lasted for thousands of years.
But what could he do? He could only collect his expression, and then stepped out of the captain's room calmly.
