This time, Elmer really panicked, especially when the man with the black beard killed two of his guards. The man's last slash directly chopped off the head of one of the guards. The bloody meatball rolled to Elmer's feet. The Lord, who had always lived like a prince, almost vomited. The rest of the guards were also a little scared when they saw this scene.
Fortunately, the chief officer reacted quickly. He immediately realized what the pirates were after and commanded the nearby sailors to provide support. At the same time, the people on the lower level finally rushed out of the gangway.
For a moment, several sabers were swung at the man with the black beard. Although the man was brave and fierce, he was still human. In the face of such a situation, he could only fight and retreat.
The pirates had finally reached the most dangerous moment. If Elmer successfully retreated to the second level, their chances of winning this battle would be slim. At this point, everyone's eyes were bloodshot. Not only the navy, but the nearby pirates also came to help.
Under the leadership of the demon-like figure, the pirates killed the people who rushed out of the gangway. Both sides engaged in a fierce battle at the exit of the gangway. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man with the black beard shifted his gaze to Elmer on the other side. However, he was stopped every time he led his men to attack Elmer. Instead, he suffered a few more wounds on his body.
When the British sailors realized that the terrifying figure was not invulnerable, their morale was greatly boosted. On the other hand, the pirates guarding the gangway were suffering more and more casualties.
The balance of victory and defeat was gradually tipping.
Zhang Heng used the last musket to kill the enemy in front of him. After that, he took out the rifled rifle from the tarp. Initially, he aimed at Elmer. Judging from his previous performance, Elmer was obviously the captain of the ship. However, when he was about to pull the trigger, he hesitated.
The current situation was not what he expected. Although Elmer was the person with the highest status on the Scarborough, it was the chief officer who was in charge of the battle. If Zhang Heng killed Elmer now, there was a higher possibility that the ship would not be without a leader. Instead, the chief officer would officially take over the battle. This was undoubtedly an outcome that Zhang Heng did not want to see.
There was not much time left for him to hesitate. The gangway could be lost at any time. Zhang Heng made a decision in the shortest time possible and turned the gun.
The chief officer was originally surrounded by layers of guards, but because Elmer was in danger, he had to send all his armed forces over. Now, there were only two or three people around him. Seeing that Elmer was temporarily safe, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they could survive the next two minutes, the pirates blocking the gangway would be killed or injured, and the situation would be completely reversed.
He was focused on the battle not far away, but he didn't realize that he had become someone else's prey. Although the three guards beside him had been vigilant of their surroundings, it was difficult for people in this era to imagine that danger would come from further away.
After Simon's special training, Zhang Heng felt like holding a gun was an extension of his body. Once he entered the shooter mode, he automatically blocked out all distracting thoughts in his mind. He was as calm as a reef on the shore. After adjusting his breathing, he gently pulled the index finger that represented death.
The guards beside him had no idea what happened. All they saw was the head of the chief officer, who was originally standing at the same spot, suddenly falling backward. It was only when they saw the blood splattering on the floor that the guards beside him were shocked.
At the same time, Zhang Heng heard a system notification.

The man with the black beard keenly sensed the fleeting opportunity. Ignoring his bleeding right arm, he led the remaining six pirates and charged at Elmer.
The short musket in his hand roared like thunder in the night sky.
Having lost their commander, the British troops on the deck fell into a temporary state of chaos. But the pirates were basically at the end of their rope. The battle at the exit of the gangway had finally come to an end. The British troops on the second floor broke through the blockade and rushed to the deck.
The addition of this new force was disastrous for the exhausted pirates. Elmer's face lit up with ecstasy, but the next moment, his smile froze on his face.
The last guard in front of him also fell, and then Elmer saw a pair of beast-like eyes.
The moment he was stared at by those eyes, Elmer felt as if he had fallen into an endless abyss. His soul and blood were completely frozen at that moment.
The owner of the eyes placed the scimitar on his neck, then said in a low voice, "Tell your men to surrender."
Mr. Lord's heart was filled with indignation. If he had held on for just a little longer, maybe just half a minute, the situation would have been completely different. He could still hear the screams of the pirates, and it filled his heart with joy.
Elmer thought of his family background and wanted to show a little bit of integrity at this time, but the next moment, when the blade cut through his skin, Mr. Lord finally threw all his courage to the back of his mind and hurriedly said to the sailors on the deck, "Put down your weapons!"
The British sailors hesitated when they heard this. Elmer could not help but be furious. "What do you want! Are you going to disobey the captain's orders? "
The sailors looked at each other. Unfortunately, at this time, the highest ranking officer present was only the captain, and it was not enough to convince the others. Under Elmer's usual intimidation, someone finally took the lead to put down his weapon.
And once someone took the lead, more and more people followed suit.
At this time, the man with the black beard also said, "Your captain has surrendered to me. I am willing to swear on my name that as long as someone is willing to surrender with me, I will not harm his life."
As soon as this sentence was said, more people immediately put down their weapons. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the rest had no choice but to give up resisting.
In the end, the pirates on the Sea Lion miraculously won the battle at the cost of forty-seven dead and twenty-nine seriously injured. In the end, almost all the survivors were injured. When the battle was over, they turned around to look for the ship's doctor to bandage their wounds, only to find that the doctor on the Sea Lion had died in battle.
