Chapter 36: Death Strikes (I)
Outside the Hettington Manor, several Blood Clan guards in black suits and sunglasses were standing quietly in the shadow of the sentry box, and the surroundings seemed quiet, and even the usual music in the manor had disappeared.
This manor is the most upscale and private social club in London, and it is also a way for the blood clan to envelop or even control the upper class, even if it does not use the means of developing descendant blood slaves, vampires have a lot of ways to control a person or even his soul, of course, these methods cannot withstand today's testing methods, so the vampires can only nest in this corner of London, in addition to the commercial tentacles are difficult to expand politically.
But with Serena taking power, the clubhouse function of Heatington Manor was temporarily stopped, and it was claimed to be an interior decoration, of course, Serena did not want to stop this behavior of the blood clan, after all, this is also a necessary means of survival for the blood clan, but many things need to be kept strictly secret during her internal integration, and those officials and businessmen who witnessed her and Wang Chixiao's attack were all released after mental brainwashing.
For Serena's reign, these guards have mixed feelings, unlike other blood clans, they were formerly royal guards, and they are extremely loyal to George VI, but now the form is stronger than people, George VI and the three are finished, Serena has incomparable charm and prestige among the blood clan, plus she has royal blood, so they can only give in, but there is always something strange in their hearts.
"Hey, why is it suddenly dark?"
One of the guards looked up at the sky in some surprise, although he liked this kind of darkness more than the bright sun, but the black fog that suddenly appeared in the sky that obscured the sunlight was unusual to look at.
"The situation is a little wrong, everyone pay attention!"
The captain of the guard frowned and gave the order, and at the same time reported to the guard center of the manor through the headset, there had already been a surprise attack by Selina and Wang Chixiao, where would they dare to be careless.
The guards hurriedly raised the guns and weapons in their hands and opened the safes, although they have speed and strength far above ordinary people, but the best and most efficient means of attack is to use firearms, after all, they are not awakened people who mainly use various heavenly hell abilities.
At this moment, the sky was completely dark, and the originally bright afternoon became like a dark night, but this darkness was unusual, everywhere was filled with black fog, even the guards' eyes that could see through the black fog, if you looked in from a few kilometers away, you would find that the space within a radius of several miles of Heatington Manor was enveloped in black fog, which was very strange.
Immediately after that, there was a sound similar to the sound of horses' hooves and wheels crushing the ground, and soon a huge black shadow appeared in the keen eyes of the guards, and with the captain's order, all the guards' guns immediately fired, and the brilliant gunfire instantly illuminated the surrounding darkness.
Vampires have never been reasonable characters, not to mention that the other party suddenly appeared in this situation, and it didn't look like a door-to-door visit, so the guards opened fire without fear.
The guards were not all pistols, there were several shotguns and two military assault rifles that were banned from circulation on the market, and the power was considerable, but the huge black shadow seemed to completely ignore the strafing of the bullet rain and rushed forward against the bullets.
Finally, the black shadow became clear in the eyes of the guards, it was actually two large and unremarkable heavy black horses, with pale flames burning in their eyes, and the huge hooves left traces on the hard asphalt road under the heavy step, and behind the black horse pulled a black carriage, the carriage as a whole presented a Gothic style, and there was a creepy horror atmosphere in the refinement.
The black horse's skin and flesh are incredibly tough, and it has not been torn apart after being shot so much, even if the powerful shotguns and rifle bullets have beaten it to the flesh and blood, and even the white bones are exposed, but the black horse is still running at high speed as if he was unconscious.
"I see, it's the Council of Deathβ"
One of the guards suddenly shouted, and at the same time a white light shot out of the darkness behind the carriage and pierced his shoulder, which turned out to be an arrow made of what appeared to be made of bone.
Before the guards who were hit by the arrows let out a painful snort, countless of the same white light had swarmed out of the darkness, like a downpour towards the guards, the swift guards hurriedly dodged, flashing to the back of the sentry box or trees as fast as possible, but there were still many people who were shot, and the sharp arrows even pierced their strong bodies, fortunately, as long as they did not directly penetrate the brain and heart, they could not cause fatal injuries.
The sound of horses' hooves stopped suddenly, and the huge figure of the black horse froze instantly as if the TV image was suddenly pressed the pause button, and at the same time, countless figures poured out from the black fog behind, this was actually a cold weapon army that seemed to come from the Middle Ages, wearing metal armor, holding swords and axes and other weapons in their hands, and also holding bows, arrows and spears, densely lined up in a standard cold weapon battle queue, but their eyes were flashing with the same pale flame as the black horse, looking lifeless and lifeless.
"Damn, it's really the Death Council! What are these madmen who know all day long playing with dead bodies and viruses are going to do to wage war on us Nightcrawlers? β
The captain of the guard couldn't help but curse in a low voice, and at the same time hurriedly reported this information to the manor.
At this moment, the door of the black carriage opened, and a tall and thin old man dressed in an old-fashioned tuxedo and dressed like an eighteenth-century English aristocratic gentleman walked out, this old man looked to be about sixty years old, with a very thin figure with a cane in his hand, and his whole head seemed to be thin into a skeleton, but his deep-set eyes flashed a faint blue light, full of mystery and danger.
"Is this how you Bloods welcome guests to your door, with guns and bullets?"
The old man spoke in his very hoarse voice, and before the captain of the guard could reply, a cold voice rang out: "Am I not right to entertain guests who come with malice, of course, only with guns and bullets?" β
The gates of Heatington Manor opened, and Serena burst out surrounded by the Blood Guards, her ice-blue pupils staring closely at the old man's thin face.
"I heard that there was unrest within the Nightcrawlers, but I brought someone here to help Miss Serena, Miss Serena, don't get me wrong."
A dry smile erupted into Manfres's skeletal face, and he said, "I have always supported you, Miss Serena, but my beast eyes are still on you, my Death Council and you Nightcrawlers are the two major forces in the dark world of the British Isles, and they should help each other." β
"Watching and helping each other, is this the method of watching and helping each other?"
Serena pointed to the neat, silent, and lifeless cold weapon troops behind Manfreys, and said in a deep voice: "Sir you brought the most elite Death Knell Legion in the Death Council, and even launched the 'Death Canopy' to cover this area, I thought you were going to attack Heatington Manor." β
Manfres let out a hoarse dry laugh that didn't explain further, but the faint blue light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and the atmosphere around him suddenly became heavier and more tense.
Behind Serena, all the Blood Clan guards had occupied the vantage point, ready to fire, and they knew what this Manfreth and his Dead Council were.
