The next day, the Jackdaw docked at the port of La Guaira in a hurry, took the letter of appointment from the Duke of Strange, broke directly into the fortress, and successfully met Colonel Burton, no, it should be said that Brigadier General Burton.

The credit for killing Barbossa's group of pirates and the support of the duke directly promoted him from colonel to brigadier general, and at this time he was leisurely drinking coffee in his own private office.

In the waters of La Guaira, which has recently been peaceful, piracy is most rampant in Nassau, in the Bahamas, which has long been the responsibility of the Spanish Navy and France.

Seeing Gordon's intrusion, even the guards couldn't stop him, Burton didn't have an angry expression, just smiled: "It seems that you have gained a good trip this time, I don't know what is going on?"

"Brigadier General Burton, I have come this time to draw the Royal Navy stationed in La Guaira, as well as Port Royal, in accordance with the King's orders. ”

Gordon first put on a businesslike appearance, otherwise he would have come up and talk about homely things first, and he didn't know when he would get to the point.

Hearing Gordon say this, Burton also put on a straight face, and his Majesty's orders must be taken seriously.

"Let's sit down and talk, but there might be a problem with Port Royal. ”

Gordon listened to him, sat down in the chair in front of him, and then asked with a frown, "Does Brigadier General Norrington have any problems lately?"

Burton just pouted.

"Problem? ”

"How?" Gordon was a little puzzled by the fact that he hadn't heard anything about what had happened recently.

"We reported in the war report that the Black Pearl had been sunk on Death Island, but now that the ship is swaggering back into the sea, I'm fine, but Norrington is in big trouble. ”

"Relationship households are really different......"

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you said. ”

"Don't care about the details, so Norrington him?"

Burton took a sip of coffee: "Norrington resigned as Admiral of Port Royal, and then took his Interceptor and the Intrepid to hunt down the Black Pearl all over the world, by the way, the current captain seems to be Jack Sparrow, how did he escape from Death Island at that time?"

"Because you forgot something, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow......"

Jack's smug look jumped out of Gordon's mind again, causing the corners of Gordon's mouth to twitch.

"Let's not talk about this, we can't draw from other places if we don't have enough manpower, this is an appointment signed by the duke. ”

Gordon pulled the order out of his bosom and handed it to Burton.

Burton opened it to make sure there was no problem, and then handed it back to Gordon.

"Tell me, what's so urgent, let you rush back in thirty days. ”

He noted the timing of the signing of the order.

"The sailors of the Explorer brought back news of El Dorado, but were attacked by the Spaniards at sea, who set off before us, and we chased for a month before we finally caught up with them. ”

Burton slapped the table and was very angry: "How dare these Spaniards attack the Imperial Navy ships, this is a naked declaration of war!"

Burton was more concerned than the news of El Dorado, and the Spaniards dared to attack the Imperial fleet, which was absolutely intolerable.

"Did the king give the order to go to war?"

"No, Brigadier General, all we have to do is find the location of El Dorado before they do, and then make sure that this wealth belongs to England, to His Majesty. Burton, you know, this fortune could be the occasion for the rise of the Spanish Navy, and we must find it. ”

"Where's the location?" Burton grimaced, he certainly understood the importance, the Royal Navy had managed to defeat the Spanish Armada, and El Dorado would never be allowed to fall into the hands of anyone else.

"Caroni River Basin. ”

......

The entire port of La Guairah was almost in combat readiness, and the soldiers canceled their vacations, then equipped with weapons, inspected ships, and carried supplies.

It was not easy to mobilize the soldiers, and Burton spent almost the afternoon dealing with the defense of the port, and the soldiers hurried to the main town of Garascar to collect the defensive forces, and then informed the governor.

The main city of Carrascar is only twenty kilometres from the port, but it is separated by a mountain and accessible only by a winding path.

At the same time, an order was sent to Governor Swan in Port Royal, from where he was to mobilize troops directly to the mouth of the Caroni River.

And they also need to load more small boats, which no even large battleships can drive into this exploration.

The time of departure was set for the next morning, and Gordon took advantage of this time to start walking around the harbor with Alan to deal with the death of the sailors.

Three gold coins, this is what he promised, even if the sailor dies, he will send this money back, this is the conscience of a man.

The Jackdaw recruited seventy-six sailors here, and now eight have been killed.

Bang Bang Bang!

Gordon knocked on a one-story tiled house that lived in the northern part of the port, which was overgrown with weeds and looked a little poor away from the city. The sailor Alvin's home lived here.

Every sailor who came on board filled out a deed with a home address.

It was evening, and there was a lot of laughter and laughter in the house, and there should be three people inside.

"Who are you looking for?"

The door was opened by a little girl, who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a gray dress of linen, very plain, but she could be seen to look a little like Alvin.

"Is this Alvin's home, please?"

Gordon asked, with a kind expression.

"My brother went to sea to be a sailor, and he said that he had made money to make the family live a better life, and it seemed to be called the Jackdaw, which was the ship he was on. ”

On the day Alvin was contracted by the Jackdaw, he returned home with twenty silver coins, and his father drank a lot of wine for the first time to celebrate that his son had finally grown up and could earn money to support his family.

Twenty silver coins was the family's income for almost three years, and it was this money that allowed the family to buy a lot of things, so that my father did not have to go out every morning to work at the docks and not return until late.

Looking at the girl's innocent expression, Gordon's words were blocked in his throat and he didn't know how to speak, and finally could only ask: "Is your father at home?"

Seeing that his daughter had not returned, Alvin's father walked over and recognized Gordon's identity at a glance.

How could he not have known the young captain who was working in the docks, or his own son, and even the morning that Alvin had left with the Jackdaw, he had stood in the docks and watched the ship go away.

He struggled to find his son, only to see Allen following behind Gordon. He already had a premonition of something, and his hands trembled a little.

"Ellie, you go back to your mother first, and I'll talk to these people. ”

The girl who was called Ellie just looked curiously at the person who had come to his brother and ran back.

The man in front of him, a father, is obviously only forty years old, but he has a lot of gray hair, and although his body is strong, he shows a lot of old age.

He walked out of the house and closed the door quietly.
