Sir Andrew glanced quickly at the cabin of the worship ship, which was still alone, and hurriedly stood up and walked to the hatch and yelled in English, "Hey, squire, where is the ship going?" ”

It didn't take long for a disgusted reply to come from outside the door, "Captain, if you don't want to shut up, I can assist you." ”

"Damn." Sir cursed under his breath and sat down reluctantly in the cabin. Looking around the cabin, there was nothing that could be used to kill a squire or open the shackles.

While the captain of the palace guard was still speculating about the fate of his ship, Captain Hawkins had ordered his sailors to sail to Earlsferry a coastal town less than three leagues north of Forth Bay (one mile equals 3.18 nautical miles, usually three nautical miles in the ocean).

Earlsfee, one of Scotland's oldest villages, was the first village to settle on the Scottish mainland in ancient times. It is unclear how and exactly when this small coastal village became a royal town, as its original charter was destroyed in a fire. Later, the town became a trading port for Scottish and European merchants, and until the 18th century, the town was an important stopover point for pilgrims on their route south to St Andrews.

Tonight's raid on the Coast Royal Autonomous Town was purely an attempt by Isabel Walton to satisfy the raiding squad and merchant sailors' desire to loot. For these people, gold and silver treasures, weapons, armor, and everything that could be exchanged for pounds was far more important than the chief of the guard who was imprisoned. Either way, whether the chief of the guard will eventually be released or killed, whether he will reveal Queen Mary's hiding place, and so on, has little to do with them.

Given that the number of people involved in the raid was only about 60 to 70, Isabel still devised a tactic of attacking the east and the west. Confuse the Scots in coastal towns, give them the illusion, and then surprise them.

First, have Captain Hawkins sail the boat to the deep water outside the bay south of town. Then, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, all the operatives were transported by ferry to the eastern part of the bay near a piece of land extending into the bay, and then the operational requirements of the landing operation were carried out. Eventually, when all the operatives had landed, the ship's Captain Hawkins was notified by the light of fire and asked him to open fire on the town, in order to attract the vigilance of the local Scots and divert their attention.

Sir Andrew, who was imprisoned in the cabin of the worship ship, could neither escape from the ship nor know its whereabouts, so he had to lean against the hull and doze off. It didn't take long for him to feel some pain in his abdomen. When the pain had already made him fidgeting and sweating, he could only grit his teeth and go back to the hatch again and shout, "Hey, waiter, I'll go to the toilet." ”

"Damn, how could this Scotsman go to the toilet now? Now what? One of the armored squires outside the door cursed in a low voice, but he didn't intend to open the door and take Sir to the ship's toilets.

"Well, if Your Excellency has not landed at this time, you should go and report to Your Excellency." The other squire in armor spoke immediately.

Fortunately, Isabel had not boarded the ferry at this time. With her permission, the squire returned to the cabin of the worship ship and after a few words with his companion, opened the hatch and led Sir out. As Sir Andrew was being taken out of the upper deck of the stern to the open deck in the middle of the ship, holding his stomach, he suddenly saw some village lights flickering in the darkness on the port side of the ship.

Two attendants at his side kept a close watch over Sir and led him from the open deck to a platform extending under the bow stilt. As for the ship's latrine, it is a rectangular wooden box on the lower left side of the mast near the side of the fence, and there are three circular holes in the surface of the wooden box. One of the attendants pointed to the wooden crate and frowned at Sir and said, "Captain, this is the toilet, use it quickly." ”

———————————

As Sir Andrew took off his leggings and sat down on the hole, he heard a loud cannon sound coming from under the port side of the ship. Sir suddenly turned his head to the right, craned his neck to look at the cannon that began to fire, and wondered, "God, where are these Englishmen firing?" ”

He raised his head again and looked at the dark sky, "It's night, why would they shoot at night?" ”

Bewildered, Sir turned his head back again to look at the two squires leaning against the fence across from him. After thinking about it, he asked cautiously, "Squire, who are you firing at here?" ”

The two attendants, enduring the stench of excrement wafting through the air, put their fingers over their nostrils and called, "Damn it." Captain, can you hurry up and finish your feces? ”

Isabel walked briskly to the bow fence above the platform, glanced at the three men on the platform, and shouted to the two attendants, "Hall, Miller, take care of Sir." If he wants to run away by jumping into the sea, you must also jump down and catch him. ”

At this time, the two young Duke's guardsmen, Hall and Miller, were eager to raise their swords and stab Sir Andrew to death at the same time. Not only do they both have to be forced to smell the stench of feces, but they also have to follow Isabelle's orders to keep a close eye on his movements. When Hall saw Isabel leave the bowhouse, he immediately walked up to Sir and called, "Captain, I order you to stand up at once, put on your pants, and go with us." ”

At this moment, the second round of shelling of the "Nemesis" began, and seven projectiles fired from the muzzles of seven bronze front-loading guns on the gun deck smashed into civilian houses in coastal towns. Standing on the port side, Isabel looked at the blazing coastal town and turned to look at Baldwin beside her, "Let's go, go to the landing site." ”

As she descended the outboard stairs to the ferry, all she could hear was "Whoa! The sound of an object falling into the water came from the direction of the bowhouse. Baldman, Jazz has escaped! Chase! Isabel, who was standing on the stairs, yelled at the deck above her and leaped into the water with all her might.

In fact, Sir Andrew thought of escaping while sitting on a wooden box to defecate. Although the shackles and leg irons limited his range of motion, he believed he could barely swim to the shore after jumping into the sea. When Wei Cong Hall ordered him to stand up, he slowly stood up and put on his pants, and peeked at Wei Cong Miller, who was still standing opposite.

He glanced at the guard on the left again, and suddenly slammed his head into Hall's chest. After Hall was unable to dodge and was knocked to the ground, Sir Andrew turned and stepped on the wooden box toilet and jumped into the sea without hesitation.
