Gordon and his party finally found the camp where the large army was stationed near dawn.

Navigating the jungle at night is certainly dangerous, but Gordon has Eagle Vision to avoid many tragedies.

"Good work. ”

Burton barely slept that night, and he waited for the group to return.

"How's the harvest?"

He asked the soldiers to bring coffee to refresh the hard-working people.

"Two logbooks, Wilson and Colonel Adudin, but we were not able to bring them back. ”

Gore didn't drink coffee first, but debriefed.

"Predictably, the Spaniards are not so easily fooled. We should have organized a storm a long time ago, not a waste of time. ”

Burton sat down on a random wooden pier and took two sips of hot water.

He was not very optimistic about this plan from the very beginning, and just had the attitude of giving it a try.

"Brigadier General, it's not exactly a waste of time, at least we blew up their main fuel and gunpowder, and now they, like us, are starting to worry about these supplies. ”

Hearing this, Burton was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "This is good news. ”

He put down his glass, and began to flip through Wilson's journal, frowning a little, as he saw the two familiar words, curse.

"Sir, I feel like there's something I need to report to you separately. ”

Gore saw Burton's expression and realized he saw it.

Burton was a little puzzled, he didn't know what to avoid about Gordon?

"But it doesn't hurt my lieutenant, Captain Gordon is no stranger. ”

"Sir, I think it's necessary to talk to you about this alone. ”

Burton was a little puzzled, but Gore had been his lieutenant for so many years, and he still followed Gore's idea.

"Sorry Gordon, I'll leave for a moment. ”

He got up and went outside the tent with Gore, avoiding the crowds, and asked, "I hope it's really important, otherwise it will be very detrimental to our relationship with Captain Gordon, and next time be tactful, even if there is anything to avoid others, talk to me privately." ”

"Of course, sir, but this matter cannot be delayed, and it will affect the life and death of each of us. ”

"Do you say curses? I see the eyes of the angels that Captain Wilson wrote, and they control people's hearts. ”

"Actually, not only that, but the whole of El Dorado was a great curse in the legend of the Spanish soldiers, and whenever anyone entered it, they were accompanied by death, no matter how far they fled. ”

Speaking of this, Burton was a little silent, everyone was desperate for their lives, he had seen the Black Pearl, the group of pirates who had been cursed and tortured for ten years, and he didn't feel anything, turning into skeletons in the moonlight, just thinking about it was a little creepy.

Some things happen to others as stories, but as accidents happen to themselves, and no matter how ruthless and murderous people are, they will be extremely afraid when the butcher's knife falls on their heads.

"I'm not sure what the consequences would have been if this news had been given to the soldiers, who might even mutini or desert, and the same would have happened to Captain Gordon, who had more than two dozen men under his command, and if he chose to leave, it would have shaken our morale. ”

Gore's expression was serious and ugly, and it was clear that he had partially anticipated the outcome.

"Relax, my lieutenant, it's just a legend, isn't it?"

"Sir, you and I are well aware that these legends are likely to come true, knowing that for so many years, hundreds of years, no one has found El Dorado, which is almost impossible, and I prefer to believe that it really killed everyone who found it. ”

Burton also began to think seriously about such a question at this time, the curse is terrible, but he is more afraid that because of his own fear, let the Spaniards rise.

"For everyone's sake, sir, I want you to keep the news down until you have completed your exploration of El Dorado. ”

"What do you want me to do?

"Just a suggestion, sir, it's entirely up to you how to do it. ”

Ten minutes later, Gore and Burton were back in the tent, and Gordon just felt weird as they looked at them.

"Did something happen?"

Burton seemed a little distracted, but sat back down on his stake, and then took a sip of his glass.

"It's fine, it's just that I consulted with Adjutant Gore and decided not to do anything to the Spaniards for the time being. ”

Gordon frowned, as if he was a little puzzled: "Brigadier General, if we find El Dorado, these Spaniards will be our biggest obstacle, and now they are also short of gunpowder, and both of us have been pulled back to the starting line, and with the advantage of firepower, we can crush them." ”

He paused for two seconds, and then thought of something else: "These Spaniards seem to be talking about something, there is a big problem with their military mentality, few soldiers are seriously on duty when we are groping the camp, but two or three people are talking about something, and we only need a salvo ......"

"Captain Gordon!" Burton interrupted, "This is just your guess, I have sent someone back to the estuary to inform Lord Bedke, we will have more reinforcements and supplies, we don't need to fight them, I promise, even if they find El Dorado, they will never take this jungle step." ”

Burton's remark made sense, and even Gordon didn't feel anything wrong for a short time.

"Now that you've made up your mind. ”

......

By nine o'clock in the morning, the soldiers had packed everything and set off again, this time with a new target, an accurate target - the source.

According to Captain Wilson's journal:

We tortured the insider, and it was clear that he knew more than that. His father, after salvaging the shipwreck of Pedro Cabrral, quickly understood what this meant, and instead of reporting it to the government, he did not sell the news, but spent five years exploring the entire Caroni River basin and found the huge waterfall at the source,

No one can resist the temptation of El Dorado, even if they know that there may be curses and deaths there, but what does it matter? After all, it is just a rumor, and with luck in his heart, the father of the insider organized a group of people to dig up the angels, and then set off towards the source, he was only fifteen years old at the time, so he did not fail to participate, and of course he never saw his father again......

The sky was a little dark, and looking at the black clouds drifting in the distance, I felt a little depressed, it should be that heavy rain was coming, which was not a good thing for pedestrians in a hurry. Of course, this also reduces the probability of being discovered by the Spaniards.
