Chapter 821: Pursuit at Sea
The moment Sir Andrew jumped into the sea, he only felt his unsuspecting nostrils being forced into a large amount of salty seawater. The large amount of seawater rushing into his airways caused a hot stinging sensation in his nose. Immediately afterward, the sea water continued to impact the sinking body, making him feel the sound of the sea tide in his body.
The darkness of the water, which made him unable to see anything in the dark night, and the torture instruments that bound his hands and feet were forcing him to begin to sink little by little, Sir Andrew had to trample desperately on the water to bring himself to the surface before he drowned. Just as he was about to swim to the surface, he heard "Poof! There was a sound, and he realized that it must be the men on the boat who had jumped into the sea to capture him.
Previously, the guards who were guarding him watched as Jazz's figure disappeared to the edge of the platform. It wasn't until the sound of Jazz jumping into the sea came that the two came to their senses. Miller reached the edge of the platform and leaned out to look at the sea, pointing to the large number of bubbles floating on the sea directly below and shouted, "Captain is there, catch him!" ”
"Miller, why are you standing there and not supervising the Jazz with me?" Hall, who became angry because the prisoner had escaped, questioned his good friend repeatedly.
"Well, you go and report to Your Excellency, and I'll catch the captain." Knowing that he had not done his duty, Miller only hoped that he could use all means to get Jazz back from the sea. After speaking, he didn't care about taking off the infantry half-armor and saber on his body, and jumped into the sea below by stepping on the wooden box toilet.
"Wait, Miller!" Hall hurriedly shouted, he wanted to remind Miller to unsuit his armor before going into the water. Now he had no choice but to rush through the small door of the platform to the bow to report to his commander that the prisoner had escaped.
At this time, Isabel had already taken Baldwin and several other guards on a ferry and prepared to sail in the direction of the bow tower. Hall rushed to the port side fence and shouted loudly at the commander and others on the sea: "Your Excellency, the captain has escaped by jumping into the sea!" ”
The worst that could be expected had happened, what else could Isabel say. Hurriedly yelled at Hall on the boat, "In what direction?" ”
Hall stretched out his right arm and pointed to the bow on the left side of the port side, "Your Excellency, over there, Miller has gone to catch the captain." ”
Isabel nodded, and hurriedly ordered the four rowing sailors beside her, "Row quickly, in the direction of the bowhouse." ”
In the darkness of the night, Sir Andrew swam towards the burning town on the coast. Unfortunately, his hands and feet were still wearing very heavy torture instruments, and he could only swim slowly to prevent himself from being dragged underwater by the torture instruments. A similar fate arose with the guards in his pursuit, Miller, who was being dragged little by little into the dark waters below the surface by his infantry bust and two thick riding boots.
Miller wanted to make amends for his mistake by capturing the fleeing Sir immediately, but was dragged down by his armor and riding boots. When I was very anxious, I couldn't help but drink a few more sips of salty and bitter sea water and stayed on the surface of the sea. This pause instantly accelerated the speed at which his life was terminated by the sea. Miller saw that he was about to sink into the water, and his strong desire to survive made him stretch out his right arm and wave it back and forth on the surface of the sea. While being forced to drink a large amount of seawater, he shouted hoarsely, "Help, who can save me!" ”
Finally, Isabel and the others, who arrived by boat, heard Miller's cry for help. Following the sound, the four sailors rowed the ferry to Miller's side when they saw only one hand left of Miller swinging sharply on the sea. Isabel pointed to the hand that was about to be swallowed up by the sea and shouted, "Save him!" ”
The two sailors lowered the ship and jumped into the water to swim towards the fully sunken Wes. After a while, Miller was already in a dying state when he was rescued on the ferry, occasionally spitting out the sea water that filled his stomach. Baldwin glanced at his young colleague who was still spitting seawater on the ferry, and asked Isabel, "Your Excellency, what now?" Probably Sir was almost to the shore. ”
Isabel glanced at him and thought, "Which direction do you think Jazz will flee to?" ”
Fast looked at the town on the coast in front of him, and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, Sir will definitely flee to the town." ”
Isabel was of course well aware of Fast's meaning, and the fugitive Sir Andrew had to enter his own towns to escape his pursuit. It's just that now that we are on the vast sea, how can we find a small, insignificant human being in the sea in the dark night?
At this time, Miller, who had spat out a large puddle of seawater, gradually woke up. When he opened his eyes, the commander sat beside him without saying a word, and quickly sat up and coughed and said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, this is caused by the negligence of me and Hall. ”
Isabel turned to look at him and shook her head, "Miller, tell me, how did Jazz break the shackles and shackles and escape?" ”
Miller blinked, wiped the remaining sea water from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and replied, "Your Excellency, Sir jumped into the sea in shackles and shackles. ”
"Well, you saw it with your own eyes?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. I watched Jazz hit Hale with his head, then turned around and jumped into the ocean. ”
If that were the case, it would no longer be so difficult to hunt down Sir Andrew. When Isabel thought of this, the stone in her heart lightened a little, and she hurriedly asked, "Do you remember which direction Sir escaped from?" ”
Miller looked at the sea to the left and right, recalled the scene of the pursuit of Sir Andrew, and pointed to the location where the sneak attack team landed on the right front, "Your Excellency, Sir probably fled in that direction." ”
"Very well, you can take a break." Isabel then instructed the sailors to row the ship towards the landing site. Baldwin, who was sitting behind her, pondered, and asked her, "Your Excellency, how did you know that Sir would flee to where we landed?" ”
Isabelle's eyes scanned back and forth at the calm sea, and she just said, "Sir won't have swam to shore quickly without untying his shackles and shackles." He had to find a place where he could go ashore as soon as possible to keep himself from drowning. ”
As she had envisioned, Sir Andrew swam to a narrow bay east of the landing site of the raid team, intending to make it ashore. However, Jazz, whose hands are tied, is like a disabled swimmer who has lost both arms, and can only rely on his two legs to paddle non-stop. However, Jazz's feet were also tied, and he had to use several times more strength than usual to paddle forward.
