The Death List Novel - Chapter 506
Chapter 506 Phase III
In this central part of London, the skirmishes between the Samsara and Apostle did not affect the Crusaders and the British police.
To be fair, the British military and police had to work hard. After the mobile crusaders invaded, the British military and police all over the city fought and retreated. Nearly ten thousand people gathered in the center of Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park and reorganized their defensive line with the favorable terrain.
Because it was located in the heart of London, the air defense system here was the most complete. In the beginning, it had even fought a few beautiful counter-attacks, shooting down many of the Crusaders’ helicopter gunships.
Although the Holy See’s crusaders had received formal training, the Vatican was not a country and did not have a complete army organization. Strengthened warriors were quite unfamiliar with this kind of modern war. When their numbers reached the battalion level, they didn’t know how to fight anymore. They would only charge forward in a swarm and cause more casualties.
However, the individual abilities of the Reinforcers far surpassed those of ordinary armies. Apart from Northern London, the Crusaders who controlled the other parts of London gradually concentrated most of their strength on the last tough bone.
After the Crusaders in this area broke through two thousand men, the quantitative change finally led to a qualitative change. The British military and police’s ground defense line was broken through by their brute force.
Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, Downing Street and Westminster Abbey fell one after another. The once bustling corpses of central London were everywhere, and the British resistance ended in one of the most tragic ways.
Of course, the Crusaders who won the final victory also suffered heavy casualties. In addition to the losses in Northern London, more than half of the 6,000 people were killed. The rest were also injured. Many of them had lost their ability to strengthen due to their excessive potential.
However, the end of this war was a good thing for Apostle. The total number of people in Apostle, which had just finished its foreign war, was still around 50. Just as there was a flame of internal strife, it was extinguished by the surging Crusaders.
And just as the Crusaders poured into the city centre, Apostle soon discovered another opportunity to reap the reward. In their passive battles with the Crusaders, they had more or less obtained Apostle items.
Although these dropped items were only worth a few hundred broken crystals, they were still earnings. At this time, Apostle remembered that compared to ordinary humans, Crusaders were all reinforcements. Even if they weren’t as powerful as Captain America and other top superhumans, they were still worthy of being killed.
However, even though the Crusaders also dropped their items, the problem also arose. Crusaders were mostly in groups, armed with modern weapons and air support from helicopter gunships. Professional Apostle can kill one person and two people, but at the same time, they will also be besieged, the risk is not proportional to the benefits.
Thus, Apostle naturally thought of a more valuable and less risky target, the Avengers, the Green Hunters, and a few others from all over Europe to support the plot of super-humans.
Normally speaking, they would not have made any plans against these people. After all, most of the Apostle in this world were only at the beginner stage. Attacking the peak super humans of the Divine Comedy World made them feel a little overestimated.
However, the situation tonight was different. The British government had completely collapsed. Not only did all the plots of the super-humans not receive the help of the country’s forces, they were on the verge of being enemies.
In their earlier battles with Samsara, Apostle had formed a small team of at least three to four people, and they could form alliances with other teams as appropriate. If all types of players in the guild were ready, they would already have the strength to attack storytellers.
More importantly, a storyline character like Captain America and Iron Man, who were of great importance to the history of this world, would receive a small portion of the proceeds from being killed. However, the punishment used to offset the main storyline was more than enough.
When they realized this, Apostle began to pull away from central London and rush to north London before dawn.
“Qin Lun Guild Leader, your pre-war prediction seems to be coming true!” Rice said quietly on the guild channel.
“The battle has entered its third stage!” Ignoring Rice’s strange teasing, Qin Lun and Grant looked at each other and smiled.
In fact, after the Samsara invaders invaded this world, Apostle was destined to attack the storytellers. If it weren’t for Kieran and Grant’s strong intervention, Apostle and Samsara would still be scattered all over the world.
As long as the Samsara attacked Apostle, regardless of the outcome, Apostle’s relationship with the characters would be damaged, and the main plot would most likely be unable to continue.
Because of the number of people, even if Apostle won the battle, their losses could not be made up for. Most people have to play dirty tricks on the characters in the plot, and without backup, their situation may be worse than it is now.
Kieran and Grant had already realized this before they planned the Battle of London. For Major Montana, there were only two phases to the battle. For the two of them, the so-called second phase of the battle could be guided to separate the third phase.
Fortunately, despite the confusion of the early days of the campaign, the battlefield in Apostle and the storyline battlefield were eventually divided into two parts. Under Qin Lun and the others’ intentional guidance, the vast majority of Apostle was concentrated in the inner city of London. He didn’t fight against the Reincarnation Realm cultivators at the same time as he fought against the storyline cultivators, so he retained most of his strength.
“Our risk has already been reduced to the minimum. It depends on how much profit we can get in the end!” Grant said confidently.
Grant’s confidence was not without reason. Although he had decided to fight against experts like Lancelot, even if they were defeated, they could still escape with the help of the Apostle team that had rushed over. Compared to the precarious situation before, the safety of life was at least greatly guaranteed.
‘”Haha, don’t be too careless! I still don’t know what kind of sacred object Lancelot has. If it weren’t for a restorative sacred object like the Holy Grail, but something like the Longinus Spear, we would have lost our lives as well.” Qin Lun smiled and reminded.
“There’s still some time before the other Apostle arrives. Shall we attack immediately?” Grant glanced at Qin Lun and asked with admiration. He knew that most of the credit for the development of the situation lay with this companion.
“No, wait a moment. Monica just sent word that the River of Death is coming this way. Alcatel and the other storytellers seem to have clustered together.” Qin Lun frowned and sighed helplessly, “We all misjudged the influence of Intergula on Alcatel. This vampire who has lived for hundreds of years actually has such deep feelings for an ordinary human.”
“Then do we need to change the plan?” Grant spread out his hands indifferently. “Anyway, it’s up to you. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want a sacred object. The remaining Avengers and Green Hunters are also good targets.”
“No, we’ve already reached this point. How can we give up again!” Qin Lun gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes as he smiled. “The Alliance’s superhuman strength has already fallen to its lowest point. The Crusaders have no backup in North London. Even if we let them join forces, we still have a chance to attack!”
“You mean … Hans and the others?” Grant pondered for a moment, then quickly remembered his own advance commandos. He immediately frowned and asked, “Something’s wrong. With the strength of their team, it seems like it’s a little too quiet!”
“Haha, you’ve finally noticed. I think this should be Montana’s arrangement.” Qin Lun smiled and shook his head. “The Battle of London itself is to preserve as much strength as possible and at the same time destroy as many Allied superhumans as possible. Now that the Battle has progressed to an unimaginable level, Fatty will naturally shrink his strength.”
In fact, Kieran’s judgment was somewhat unfair to Major Montana. This Nazi Fatty’s enthusiasm for war far surpassed Kieran’s imagination. At this stage of the battle, the reason why Hans’ commandos didn’t make much noise was because they had carried out other tasks than the battle.
As Kieran had guessed before the war, the Montana major had worked hard to stir up a conflict between the Allied superhumans and the HELLSING organization. He had indeed arranged for a traitor within the HELLSING organization that no one would have expected. That was Old butler Walter, who had always served the Van Helsing family and watched Intagula grow up.
Walter was an excellent vampire hunter, and he had been the ace of HELLSING since Intergula’s grandfather’s generation.
However, apart from being an ace hunter and butler of the Van Helsing family, Walter was also a battle maniac nicknamed “Reaper”. Walter’s desire to fight was very similar in some respects to Major Montana’s desire to fight, both of which were extremely paranoid.
Walter and Intergula had different opinions. They did not recognize Alcatel’s existence and were eager to fight against vampires. However, Alcatel had never rebelled and had helped the young Intergullah suppress his uncle’s rebellion, so he could only bury this wish in his heart.
However, as his body grew older, Walter’s desire to fight Alcatel to the death grew so intense that he was unable to resist the temptation of the Montana major.
He abandoned his loyalty to the Van Helsing family for the first half of his life and underwent Dr. Shahr’s body transformation, recovering from his old age to his prime of youth, seeking a final battle with Alcatel.
At the beginning of the war, although Qin Lun was intercepted by Alcatel and did not catch up with Intergula, the commando led by Captain Hans stopped Rolls-Royce before Intergula returned to HELLSING headquarters.
At that time, Walter the Reaper was taken back to the Zeppelin by Captain Hans under false pretenses. It was precisely because Hans had completed this important mission that the commandos calmed down for a period of time, hiding in the shadows and waiting for Hans’ return.
By the time Hans returned, Intergula had already liberated Alcatel because of the Crusaders’ large-scale attack. The millennium bug commandos and the Allied superhumans were trapped in the quagmire of the dead.
When Qin Lun killed Intergula and caused the riots in Alcatel’s River of Death, Walter’s Dark Chess was useless. Because the Allied superhumans had already fought to the death with the vampires, the Montana major’s painstaking arrangements were wasted.
