In this core area of London, the small-scale battles between the reincarnations and the apostles did not actually affect the war between the Crusaders and the British military and police.
In all fairness, the British military and police did not work hard. After the invasion of the Mobile Crusade, the British military and police all over the city fought and retreated. Nearly tens of thousands of people gathered in the center of Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park, and took advantage of the favorable terrain to re- A defense line was organized.
Because it is located in the core area of London, the air defense system here is the most complete. In the early days, it fought a few beautiful counterattacks and shot down many Crusaders' armed helicopters.
Although the crusaders of the Holy See have undergone formal training, the Vatican is not a country after all, and it does not have a complete army organization capability. Strengthened fighters are quite unfamiliar with this kind of modern warfare. After the number reaches the battalion level, they don't know how to fight.
However, the personal ability of the enhancers far exceeds that of ordinary troops. Apart from North London, the crusaders who controlled other London cities gradually concentrated most of their strength on the last hard bone.
After the Crusaders in this area broke through 2,000 people, the quantitative change finally led to a qualitative change. The ground defense of the British military and police was broken through by their brute force.
Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, Downing Street, and Westminster Abbey fell one after another, and the once bustling and noisy central London was littered with corpses. The resistance of the British ended in the most tragic way.
Of course, the Crusaders who won the final victory also suffered heavy casualties. In addition to the loss in North London, more than half of the 6,000 people were killed, and the rest were all injured. Many of them lost their strengthening ability due to excessive explosive potential.
However, the end of this war was a good thing for the apostles. The overall number of the apostles who had just ended the foreign war remained at around 50, and they were extinguished by the surging crusaders as soon as there was a smoldering flame of infighting.
It was also because of the influx of crusaders into the city center that the apostles soon discovered that there was another opportunity to obtain compensation benefits. In the passive battle with the Crusaders, they actually got the apostle items more or less.
Although these dropped items are only worth a few hundred broken crystals, they are still benefits after all. At this time, the apostles remembered that compared with some ordinary humans, the crusaders were all strengtheners. Even if it is not as good as Captain America, the top superhumans who have a great influence on history, they also have the value of killing.
However, although the crusaders will also drop items, there will also be problems. Crusaders are basically in groups, armed with modern weapons, and air support from helicopter gunships. A professional apostle can kill one or two people, but at the same time, he will also be besieged, and the risks and benefits are not directly proportional.
As a result, these apostles naturally thought of targets with higher value and relatively less risk, that is, the Avengers, Green Hunter, and other plot superhumans supported from all over Europe.
According to common sense, they would not have made their minds on these people. After all, most of the apostles in this world are only beginners. Attacking the top superhumans in the Divine Comedy world feels a bit overpowering.
But the situation tonight is different. The British government has completely collapsed. Not only do superhuman beings in all plots not get help from the national power, but they are equivalent to being in an enemy's territory.
However, in the early stage of the battle against the reincarnation, the apostles formed at least a small team of three or four people, and they could also form alliances with other teams according to the situation. If all types of abilities in the team are complete, they already have the strength to attack the strong ones in the plot.
What's more important is that characters like Captain America and Iron Man who have a great influence on the history of this world, once they are killed, although the income earned by each apostle is not too much, it is more than enough to offset the punishment of the main plot up.
After realizing this, the apostles started to withdraw from the center of London, and rushed to North London at high speed before dawn.
"Captain Qin Lun, it seems that your pre-war prediction is about to be fully realized!" Laisi said quietly in the team channel.
"The battle has entered the third stage!" Qin Lun and Grant looked at each other and smiled, ignoring Rice's weird teasing.
In fact, after the reincarnation invaded the world, the apostles were destined to take action against the strong plotters. Just imagine, without the strong intervention of Qin Lun and Grant, the apostles and reincarnations should still be distributed all over the world.
And as long as the reincarnation attacks the apostle, no matter what the result is, the relationship between the apostle and the characters in the plot will be damaged, and the main plot may not be able to continue.
Because of the ratio of the number of people, even if the apostles won the battle, their losses could not be made up. Most of the people have to deal with plot characters, and with no backup, they are probably worse off than they are now.
Before planning the London campaign, Qin Lun and Grant had already realized this. For Major Montana, the campaign has only two phases. As for Qin Lun and the others, the so-called second stage of the campaign can also be guided to separate it into the third stage.
Fortunately, despite the confusion at the beginning of the campaign, the apostle battlefield and the plot battlefield were eventually divided into two parts. Most of the apostles were concentrated in the inner city of London under the deliberate guidance of Qin Lun and others. He didn't fight the reincarnated ones at the same time, and then fought against the plot powerhouses, retaining most of his strength.
"Our risk has been minimized, it depends on how much profit we can get in the end!" Grant said in a good mood and full of confidence.
Grant's confidence was not without reason. Although they decided to fight against a strong man like Lancelot, even if they lost, they could still use the apostle team who came to escape. Compared with the previous precarious situation, at least the safety of life has been greatly guaranteed.
"Hehe, don't be too careless! I don't know the type of Lancelot's holy object. If it is not a recovery type holy object like the Holy Grail, but something like the Spear of Longinus, we will also lose our lives. "Qin Lun reminded with a smile.
"It will take some time for the other apostles to arrive. Shall we do it right away?" Grant glanced at Qin Lun and asked with some admiration. He knew that most of the credit for the development of the situation should be attributed to this companion.
"No, wait a minute, Monica just sent the news that the dead river is coming this way, and Alcatel and other plot experts seem to be joining together." Qin Lun frowned and sighed helplessly, " We all miscalculated Integra's influence on Alcatel, this vampire who has lived for hundreds of years actually has such deep feelings for an ordinary human."
"Does the plan need to be changed?" Grant spread his hands indifferently. "Anyway, it's up to you. It doesn't matter if you don't want the holy relic. The remaining Avengers and Green Hunters are also good targets."
"No, we've reached this point, how can we give up again!" Qin Lun gritted his teeth, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "The superhuman strength of the Allied Forces has dropped to the lowest point, and the Crusaders have no backup in North London. Let them hold together, we actually have a chance to attack!"
"You mean... Hans and the others?" Grant pondered for a moment, then quickly remembered his advance commando, and asked with a frown, "Something is wrong, with the strength of their team, it seems a little too quiet !"
"Hehe, you finally noticed, I think this should be Montana's arrangement." Qin Lun shook his head with a smile, "The Battle of London itself is to eliminate the allied superhumans as much as possible while preserving the vitality as much as possible. .Now that the progress of the battle is perfect beyond imagination, that fat man will naturally shrink his strength."
In fact, Qin Lun's judgment wronged Major Montana a bit. This fat Nazi's enthusiasm for war was far beyond Qin Lun's imagination. At the current stage of the battle, the reason why the commando led by Hans has not moved much is because they have carried out other tasks besides the battle.
Just as Qin Lun had guessed before the start of the war, Major Montana had put a lot of effort into provoking the infighting between the allied superhumans and the HELLSING organization, and he had indeed arranged a traitor within the HELLSING organization that no one expected. That is the old housekeeper Walter who has been serving the Van Helsing family and watched Integra grow up.
Walter is an excellent vampire hunter. Since Integra's grandfather's generation, he has been the ace of the HELLSING agency.
However, in addition to being an ace hunter and steward of the Van Helsing family, Walter is also a combat madman nicknamed "Reaper". Walter's desire to fight is in some ways very similar to that of Major Montana, both extremely paranoid.
Walter and Integra have different opinions, do not recognize the existence of Alcatel, and are extremely eager to fight the vampire. It's just that Alcatel has never acted rebelliously, and once helped the young Integula suppress his uncle's rebellion, he had no choice but to bury this wish in his heart.
However, as his body grew old, Walter's desire to fight Alcatel's life and death became more and more intense, and he finally failed to resist the temptation of Major Montana.
He abandoned his loyalty to the Van Helsing family in the first half of his life, accepted Dr. Shahr's body transformation, recovered from old age to the heyday of youth, and sought the final battle with Alcatel.
At the beginning of the war, although Qin Lun was intercepted by Alcatel and failed to catch up with Integra, the commando led by Captain Hans stopped the Rolls-Royce he was riding in before Integra returned to the HELLSING headquarters. s.
At that time, "Reaper" Walter was brought back to the flying battleship Zeppelin by Captain Hans under the pretense of being broken. It was precisely because Hans completed this important task first that the commando team calmed down for a certain period of time, hiding in the dark and waiting for Hans' return.
By the time Hans returned, Integula had already liberated Alcatel due to the massive attack of the Crusaders. The Y2K commandos and allied metahumans have fallen into the quagmire of the undead.
When Qin Lun killed Integula, causing Alcatel's Dead River Riot, Walter's dark move would be completely useless. Because the allied superhumans had already started a death battle with the vampires, Major Montana's painstaking arrangements were wasted.
