As the soldiers ran, they threw away the gold they had picked up, and life was more important in the comparison between money and life.

When all the soldiers were back away from the river and gasping for breath in the jungle, Burton and Gore arrived at the place, not panicked, but very calm and orderly, and the difference between officers and soldiers was obvious at a glance.

"Everybody, stay calm, because you're part of the Royal Navy. Burton stood in the center so that everyone could hear him.

"You are soldiers, responsible for His Majesty the Emperor, and you have the responsibility of the state to find the legendary El Dorado. At the beginning of this mission, you should know that the legendary things, which have been searched for for hundreds of years and have found nothing, must be full of difficulties and strangeness, and the path we are looking for will be extremely difficult, and in fact it is exactly that. ”

"Sir, that's a curse, we can't deal with it!"

A soldier couldn't help but retort, it was almost all the soldiers' inner thoughts, they couldn't fill those things from hell with their own flesh and blood.

It is said that the soul of a cursed person will be dragged to hell and cannot be reborn.

"I know, it's a curse, there are quite a few people who have followed me in the battle against the most vicious pirates in the Caribbean, Barbossa, who have the immortality bestowed by the curse, but we will be victorious, and the curse is only dirty, fragile little things, not devils, they are at best some devil's whispers. ”

The composure in Burton's words infected many soldiers, and since their generals were so calm, what reason did they have to mess with themselves?

The soldiers who were far away also began to come over, looking at Burton, who was giving a speech.

The brigadier generals have a clear purpose, they are not sending them to death, everything is under control.

"The curse is terrible, but it is not invincible, look at the Spaniards, they knew about the curse from the moment they set out, but they did not flinch, I am sure, they are right behind us. ”

"You are soldiers of the British Royal Navy, the most elite soldiers in this world, are you not as good as a group of Spaniards?"

"It took us decades of war and countless sacrifices to make Britain rise on the sea, and now because of your cowardice, your fear of the curse, all the efforts of our ancestors have been in vain......?

More and more soldiers were infected, and although they were afraid, they had the determination to be loyal to the Empire, even if it was with their lives.

Gordon sat on the sidelines, watching Burton's textbook speech, confident, loud and incendiary.

The Spaniards were fearless, don't be funny, the deserters, the whole camp was full of commotion, but as Burton said, the soldiers didn't have to know everything, they just needed to know what the commanders wanted them to know.

This is a true leader who can gather people at any time, who can convince everyone, and who continues to do what he commands.

The ranks were in dire need of repair, and the soldiers had regained their courage, but now was not the best time to explore.

Danger was imminent, and Gordon simply quietly instructed the sailors to sharpen their swords, and then watched Burton and Gore come over.

"It seems that the situation is not bad. ”

He lowered the stone and reinserted the scimitar into the scabbard.

"In fact, we have already suffered heavy losses, and when we set out from the mouth of the river, there were a full two hundred, and now there are less than one hundred and forty left. ”

"Do you have any plans for the next step?"

Gordon frowned, looked around, a little helpless, he had brought thirty sailors, and now there were only twenty-four left.

Burton found a rock and sat down, and then looked at Gordon seriously: "We are going to form an exploration team to find out the situation first, Gordon, I need your help." ”

Gordon was Burton's somewhat incomprehensible man, a privateer captain with guts, perseverance, and ambition. Of course, this kind of person has the ability to match, for example, he now needs Gordon's skills and knowledge.

Burton was under the impression that Gordon had always been able to know more than the others, and was able to escape from thirty cursed pirates while on Dead Island.

If he explores El Dorado, even if the army is wiped out, he trusts Gordon to bring back the information he wants.

"I think you should know how dangerous it is to explore, why do you think I'm going to risk such death, as you said, I'm not a soldier. ”

Born in Havana, he didn't have much of a sense of belonging to the UK, and even now being part of the British privateers, he didn't have the consciousness to save his life.

"Because in the official sense, you are also a captain in the service of His Majesty George, and now the Empire needs your contribution, and if things work out, you will live with more rewards and privileges, and maybe even become a member of the Empire's nobility one day, an Admiral, or a Governor. ”

Not to mention, Burton's words completely grasped Gordon's weakness, and after he saw Captain Jack and the Assassin Order, he began to want to escape the fate of becoming a pawn, and this was obviously a perfect opportunity, an opportunity to gamble with his life.

Although his heart was loose, Gordon's mouth did not loosen in the slightest.

"Burton, I am not your soldier, we may be friends out of personal friendship, but it is not worth my life, because I know that these are the future you describe, not the tangible benefits that I can see, and the future is always full of uncertainties and dangers. ”

At this time, Burton, a smile had already appeared on the corner of his mouth, and although Gordon said that he was reluctant, he had already fed back the condition, that is, interests.

"Gold, Gordon, I can allow you, and your sailors, to take all the gold you can. After addressing these curses, of course. ”

The gold here is full of color, each gold brick weighs two kilograms, even if Gordon and the sailors fight with their shoulders and pull them with a cart, they can't take away a tenth of the gold in the river, which is the essence of El Dorado.

"Sounds good. ”

Gordon only replied lightly, but he was already laughing wildly in his heart: I can't imagine that I can directly convert this gold, as long as I am given enough time, I can 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 whole world of the British Navy before he has grown up.

But this thought has grown like wildfire, stealing the whole of El Dorado!
