In this way, knowing what the Spaniards were looking for, Gordon and his party began to stop their hurried steps and steady.

The Spaniards didn't move very fast, and they were digging for something, so they didn't have to rush too much.

With the help of the camp left behind by the Spaniards, and then fortified it, they succeeded in stopping many of the nocturnal beasts, and finally found the traces of the Spaniards after the fourth day.

"Great Falls, Commodore General. ”

Upon entering the middle and upper reaches of the Caroni River, they encountered the first waterfall in the main river.

The Caroni River has a height difference of 210 meters from its source to its mouth, and here, it is the first waterfall, and the boats simply cannot go any further.

The Spanish dinghy was towed onto the beach and tethered to a tree.

From here, they had to explore the jungle on foot.

Gore distributed all the gunpowder, each in small bags, and began to wrap the supplies in canvas and move forward.

"Every sailor should bring supplies, don't be left alone, and shoot directly in danger!"

Without the dinghy, their path through the jungle would be dangerous, Gore kept telling the soldiers.

The soldiers were basically carried on small rations, and many more were left on the boats, and if there was not enough food, they would go fishing along the banks of the river or loot in the jungle.

"I don't think we're far away from the Spaniards, the last camp we occupied showed a gap of only one day, maybe less than 50 kilometres. ”

Jon said as he looked at Gordon, who was inspecting the equipment and preparing to set off with the sailors.

Gordon refilled the musket's ammunition and looked around.

"Alright Jon, that's true, but in this jungle, it's a bit hard to find another team, and maybe you'll hit it in the face. ”

"So we've got to be vigilant, Captain. ”

Gordon just nodded, and set off with the sailors.

They took two turns under the waterfall, and as expected, there were quite a few rocks that had been turned over, and there were traces of cooking in a pot.

"They had been gone for less than two hours. ”

Jon touched the ashes of the campfire, and it wasn't even completely cooled.

"Everyone, be vigilant!"

Burton so ordered, and then found a place to sit and rest, and the soldier brought water and handed it to him.

Gore had already led a group of soldiers to find a way up the ladder, which should not be too difficult, just follow the path opened by the Spaniards.

Bang!

A loud gunshot rang out in the air, and Burton frowned and lowered the water in his hand.

This gunfire was not too far, not even ten kilometers, and it was probably not far above the waterfall.

That is, the Spaniards are close at hand.

At this time, Gore also hurried back with his soldiers.

"Brigadier General, the Spaniards have been discovered!"

All the soldiers and sailors were on standby in the jungle below, while Burton with a small number of soldiers, Gordon with Mickey and Jon began to head upwards towards the path that had been opened.

Gordon hid and found a piece of high ground, leaned over it, and pulled out his binoculars.

In some open field, the Spaniards had already dug something out of the dirt and cheered, while an unruly pirate lay aside, not knowing whether to offend an officer or Redbeard himself.

After reaping the news, it was then carefully climbed down.

"I think they've found the angel, what should we do next?"

"Do you see what an angel is?"

Burton also drew his telescope, but due to the angle of view, he could only see a number of Spaniards in the clearing in the forest.

"I didn't see it clearly, but it was supposed to be a gold product, and I could still recognize the golden glow. ”

"We should rush up and kill these Spaniards and take them back. ”

Jon has a bad idea on the sidelines and encourages Mitch to do so.

"What do you think?"

Of course, this is not very good, Mickey rolled his eyes, he was not the person in charge, and could only reply in a low voice: "I think we should wait for the decision of the captain and the brigadier." ”

Burton thought for a long time, and to be honest, his original plan was to kill the Spaniards, but now the form has changed.

"Find a chance to steal it!"

Gordon proposed.

The jungle is so big, as long as they steal these things and bypass them from the other direction, it is a task to compare speed.

"What if these Spaniards arrive in El Dorado?"

Gore, who was on the side, couldn't help but say that he had never been in the habit of letting the enemy follow him.

"I support Gordon's proposal, and when we find El Dorado first, these Spaniards will have to weigh whether they can beat us. ”

Burton ultimately voted in favor, they lacked gunpowder, bullets, and a strong attack was very disadvantageous, but it should be more than enough to defend.

......

They drew up a rough plan, with Gordon and Mitch starting with him, Gore with ten soldiers to pick them up, and more soldiers starting to bypass the Spaniards from farther away, and if Gordon succeeded, they would leave the place quickly.

Of course, all this was planned until night.

"What if the plan fails?"

That's Gore's only fear.

"Defeat? Then you can only prepare for a strong attack, El Dorado, which will never be allowed to fall into the hands of the Spaniards. ”

Burton replied like this.

That night, Gordon and Mickey began to approach the camp that the Spaniards had set up here.

In the place where the angel is found, the terrain is extremely flat and the view is wide, and it is the best place to camp.

These Spaniards were not at all aware that danger was approaching, nor did they appear to be in a hurry.

The quest has finally paid off, and this has confirmed that this is a good start, the soldiers are not allowed to drink alcohol at such times, but the pirates of the Dreadful Whipmark can't care about that much, and many pirates are drunk.

After all, the departure was the next morning.

"What a monster, it's confusing!"

Gordon, who was closer, listened to the two soldiers whispering about today's events.

"The pirate just looked at it, and the whole person seemed to go crazy, trying to snatch the angel from their captain!"

"I saw him draw his sword, which is why he was killed by Captain Wilson. It's incredible, so many of us ......"

When the angel was unearthed, everyone was ordered not to look directly into the angel's eyes, but one of the pirates took a sneaky look and went crazy in an instant.

"Do you think we can find El Dorado?" muttered a soldier in a whisper, a man who had gone crazy just by looking at an angel, giving him a lot of bad premonitions.

"How do I think this could be a curse......"
