The Death List Novel - Chapter 498
Chapter 498 War Deepened
‘”Lancelot, Knight of the Round Table” Qin Lun frowned slightly.
When he was in prison, he read a lot of books, including ancient texts of a legendary nature. Legend has it that Lancelot was the first Knight of the Round Table under King Arthur. He was gentle and heroic. He was the son of King Francis and the eighth descendant of Jesus Christ.
His affair with Queen Gneville led to the division of the knights of the Round Table. King Arthur went on an expedition to France and caused another Knight of the Round Table, the illegitimate son of King Arthur, Mordred, to plot to usurp the throne. In the end, King Arthur and Mordred died together in the Battle of the Sword Fence.
Not only did Lancelot betray King Arthur for his own selfishness, he also killed several of his fellow Round Table Knights in battle. Morally speaking, it was worse than Judah’s behavior.
After the war, Queen Gneville became a nun, piously repenting for her actions. Lancelot originally wanted to salvage this evil relationship between the two of them, but the Queen said that it was because of the two of them that the round table was destroyed. Lancelot agreed with her opinion and was extremely ashamed. After returning to the territory, he became a bitter cultivator in seclusion. The two of them never met again until their deaths.
Lancelot’s experience as a Knight of the Round Table was widely circulated, but this wasn’t important to Qin Lun. What he paid more attention to was another story about Lancelot.
Legend has it that King Arthur became the Queen of Eternity of England, looking for the Holy Grail, one of the sacred objects of Christ. Lancelot accepted the mission as the first round-table knight. However, rumors spread that he did not complete the mission because of his adultery with the Queen.
The last person to hold the Grail was his son and Elena, the ninth descendant of Jesus Christ, and the other round-table knight, Galahad.
After all, legends were legends. Apart from the parties involved, there was no way to confirm their authenticity. If the bitter cultivator on the helicopter was Lancelot, who had been reincarnated several times, and had a sacred object in his hand, then it might really be the Holy Grail.
One must know that the Holy Grail, according to legend, was a sacred object that could rejuvenate humans and obtain eternal Christ. This was very much in line with what the Sandstorm Queen had found out.
‘”Gerhardt” Seeing Qin Lun’s expression change, Monica held the youth’s arm worriedly.
“Monica, go back to the Zeppelin first!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he smiled and patted the woman’s little hand.
“Since you’ve decided, why wouldn’t I accompany you?” The Sandstorm Queen sighed, a trace of tenderness appearing on her face. “Lancelot’s strength, I know very well that you will not be his opponent alone. I will accompany you, at least …”
“Haha, don’t underestimate your man. If you haven’t fought before, it’s hard to say whether you will win or lose!” Qin Lun raised a finger to press down on the woman’s red lips, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his lips. “Besides, we don’t have to fight the enemy head-on.”
Qin Lun turned around and looked at London City, which was like a blazing hell behind him. He said faintly, “No matter how strong you are, there are countless London City experts tonight. In the great battle, the first round-table knight is only a slightly stronger ant.”
…
“Grant, where is it?” Qin Lun asked softly on the guild channel.
“Qin Lun? Are you in trouble?” After a while, the clown’s heavy breathing came from the guild channel. It seemed that the battle had just ended.
“No, I got an important piece of information. I want to change my original plan!” Qin Lun explained the information about Lancelot and the sacred object in the simplest possible language.
“Knights of the Round Table? Holy Artifacts?” Grant, the clown, did not conceal his surprise. “You brat, this is really …”
“Are you interested?” Qin Lun asked with a chuckle.
“Interested? Interested. I roughly understand what you mean. However, even if you can fish in troubled waters, your chances of obtaining such a thing are still very small, right?” Grant muttered, “Don’t forget that the Avengers and Green Academy hate you the most. There are many smart people, and it’s not that easy to use!”
Qin Lun nodded slightly. Grant’s thoughts were very wise. Hunting beginner Samsara here was a small risk and a big gain. To go there and fight in a chaotic manner, not to mention the great risks, he might not necessarily be able to snatch the spoils of war. However, since he had contacted Grant, there was a reason to convince him.
Qin Lun couldn’t help but laugh, “Hehe, I originally thought the same. However, I saw an acquaintance beside Lancelot just now …” “With such a good insider, shouldn’t you have more confidence?”
“No way, what a coincidence!” Grant couldn’t help but laugh, but after pondering for a while, he shook his head and said, “The risk is too great, it’s not worth it!”
“What if I say that the sacred object is very likely the Holy Grail?” Qin Lun curled his lips and chuckled. “According to legend, that thing can be rejuvenated, allowing ordinary humans to live forever. It’s obviously a treasure that strengthens their vitality. Isn’t it suitable for your viral bloodline?”
“… Are you willing to give it to me?” Grant asked hesitantly.
“You should know that this is not my dish. If it is the Holy Grail, then it belongs to you. The rest of the spoils of war belong to me. If it is not the Holy Grail, then we will distribute it according to our needs. What do you think?” Qin Lun blinked his eyes and said cunningly.
“Alright, you’ve convinced me. This is clearly a fire pit. I have to dance with you!” Grant helplessly smiled bitterly.
‘”Haha, no way. At least we have a trump card! That person might not be able to influence anything in normal times, but tonight in London, the Vatican Crusaders are standing on the opposite side of the Alliance Army. The slightest bit of sparks will turn into a chaotic battle!”
Qin Lun smiled. “That fatty is indeed formidable. Even without our apostles and Samsara, after tonight’s battle, the Alliance’s Superhuman Organization is no longer an iron plate!”
“Should we call Rice back? The combination of the three seems to be quite good!” Grant asked softly.
“Forget it, that girl is not an idiot. She definitely won’t do the cannon fodder thing.” Qin Lun smiled and rejected Grant’s suggestion. “With their strength, it’s very difficult for them to interfere in a battle of this level. If they really die here, the Lost side won’t be easy to explain.”
“Alright then, where are you now? I’ll meet you here and ask the Sandstorm Queen to bring me along!” After making up his mind, Grant couldn’t wait any longer.
“I asked Monica to hijack a Crusader helicopter. Mark your position on the guild channel and we’ll pick you up right away!” Qin Lun stuck his head out of the cabin and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the war-torn city. The strong wind blew the scattered collar of his military uniform until it sounded like a hunting sound.
Sand Tornado’s speed was too slow, not to mention that there might still be bitter battles to come. The three of them needed to try their best to maintain their stamina. At present, the night sky was filled with helicopter gunships from the warring parties. With the help of the Sandstorm Queen, it would be extremely easy to seize a helicopter.
After the call ended, Qin Lun leaned against the helicopter seat and fell into deep thought. The drastic change in the target of the battle forced him to rethink his path of retreat. He and Grant both understood that the target was the target. They might not necessarily be able to seize the sacred object.
However, Alcatel’s region should be home to most of the top super-human experts. Regardless of whether it was killing any of them, they would most likely gain enormous benefits. It was not something that could be compared to the spoils of a few beginner reincarnations.
Although this world belonged to the Low Demon World, the top experts of the Avengers Alliance and Green Academy were not inferior to Second Grade or even High Grade Apostles. The current battlefield in London was in chaos, with all sides fighting in chaos.
However, the most intense fighting was still in North London, the area where the HELLSING agency and Alcatel were located. After HELLSING had liberated Alcatel’s body, it would definitely replace Inner London as the new battlefield center and meat grinder.
If the Avengers, Green College, and other allied superhuman organizations were to be said to have favoured the British Government and the HELLSING institutions after the invasion of the Holy See by the Crusaders. Now that they saw Alcatel enslaving the Necromancer Army, the super-human experts in these organizations would definitely waver.
Regardless of whether it was the Avengers Alliance or Green Academy, these experts were all superhumans with strong personalities. They were not soldiers, and their conscious behavior was only controlled by themselves. They would not obey the orders of others, so it was inevitable for them to engage in a chaotic battle after internal division.
However, for the British and HELLSING agencies, this was also a helpless move. Although the Allied Super-Human Organization opposed the Crusaders’ invasion of England, it was clearly unrealistic to expect them to fight to the death with the Holy See Crusaders.
After the liberation of Alcatel, there was hope of expelling the Crusaders. No matter what other Allied superhumans thought of HELLSING, no matter what situation Alcatel would face, London was saved.
Thinking of this, Qin Lun couldn’t help but smile and admire the fat major on the Zeppelin warship from the bottom of his heart.
The battle between Samsara and the apostles made London more chaotic, but it did not really affect the top experts led by Captain America and Hunter Greene. It was a victory at the tactical level. The war between Samsara and the apostles made London more chaotic, but it did not affect the top experts led by Captain America and Hunter Greene.
However, the use of some means to urge the Holy See’s Law Palace to launch the Ninth Crusade tonight, causing the Allied Super-Human Organization to split ideologically, was a victory at the strategic level.
From his original disapproval to witnessing the blood-colored pillar illuminating the entire city with his own eyes, Qin Lun had no choice but to admit that the war maniac was strategically superior to him. It wasn’t that he valued Alcatel for no reason, that vampire was indeed the golden key to the expansion of the war.
…
“Qin Lun, the situation here seems to be a little different from what you said!” Grant and Qin Lun looked at each other with bitter smiles as they looked at the chaotic scene in front of them.
After more than twenty minutes of flight, they finally arrived at London’s North End from the centre of the city. However, the battle here was even more chaotic, and the Crusaders of the Law King’s Hall had already fallen into a bitter battle. Ancient necromancers, including the Ottoman Guards and the Knights of Vallacia, washed the streets and alleys of North London like a flood.
There were corpses lying on the ground everywhere, blood rivers converging into streams, and broken streets after battles. Whether it was the Avengers Alliance, Green College, or even the bitter cultivators of the Holy See, including Lancelot, it was very difficult to find any specific tracks, let alone fish in troubled waters.
“I thought I had already seen hell before. I didn’t expect this to be the real hell!” Grant sighed indifferently.
“Let’s go, I know where to find them!” Qin Lun glanced at the battlefield, his calm eyes flashing with a trace of fluctuation.
