Chapter 67
While the battles in the Tower of London were taking place, which would undoubtedly cause a lot of destruction, the queen finally returned to the palace. 6 of the 12 knights of the round table were already waiting for her, their faces extremely worried.
Pretending not to pay attention to their reactions, she walked to the throne and sat down.
"What is the situation?" she asked.
"All news broadcasts were interrupted with a message about a malfunction. However, we cannot guarantee that no one will ask questions."
"Okay. What about Sir Hellsing?"
"She is... currently on the run."
"Hm?" the queen looked up at the speaker, seemingly full of surprise.
"She boarded a helicopter and escaped with the butler. When the special forces stormed the premises, there was no one inside.
"That's impossible!" - One of the members of the Round Table suddenly jumped up, causing the Queen to frown.
- Why, Sir Renjivald? Sir Hellsing lost many soldiers during the invasion, and she sent the rest to the Tower. Were you expecting enemy resistance?
- Er… no, Your Majesty. Sorry for the interruption.
- Hm. Do we know where they are heading?
- I think… that their destination is the Tower of London. Your Majesty.
- Yes? Then it is fine, isn't it? She will be surrounded by our soldiers and is going there voluntarily. What more could we ask for?
- You are absolutely right, Your Majesty.
- Well, gentlemen, this day has been quite tiring, so I will leave this matter to you. - The Queen said before starting to leave.
- Yes, Your Majesty! - The knights stood up at the same time and bowed.
Coming to her bedroom and sitting on the sofa, she sighed heavily.
"I expected there to be two, maybe three, but to think that half the knights are involved in this matter. Although, perhaps some of them are just ignorant and want to gain more power." the queen thought with slight sadness.
"However, I can't risk it." - a cold light flashed in the old woman's eyes.
"Agent Smith, get rid of them." - the queen ordered.
"It will be done, Your Majesty." - a male voice rang out and literally a few seconds later, the sound of gunshots was heard.
"Haaaah, I'm too old for this shit." - the queen sighed heavily, allowing herself to curse out loud for the first time in a long time.

I slowly climbed up the tower, hearing the walls break from the battle between Alucard and Incognito, and also somewhere nearby, soldiers die at the hands of the enemy, but I honestly didn't care.
- I guess the master is currently kicking Incognito's ass, and Integra should also show up soon.
- Okay, it doesn't matter. - I muttered and the next moment an enemy jumped out at me from behind the wall. However, I didn't lose my head and while still in flight, I grabbed the strange creature by the throat, which seemed to be another hybrid, and slammed it into the floor, splitting the stone.
- Weak... How weak. - I took out my pistol and shot the creature in the head, which literally exploded.
Putting my weapon back in my inventory, I looked through the window directly at one of the seemingly unremarkable rooftops, where I saw two Catholics, one of whom I knew very well.
- Anderson, I think she's looking at us.
- Haha, I see that Renaldo. Should we intervene?
- Of course not, unless she attacks us, we'll be s... - he didn't finish speaking, because he noticed how the vampire with cat ears they were watching was doing something.
She smirked, put her hand forward, and then lowered all her fingers except the middle one.
- What a bitch! - Anderson growled.
-…- Renaldo didn't say anything, but he put his hand on the sword that was in the sheath on his belt, and slightly extended it.
Seras smiled widely at this, waved her hand and disappeared from sight. Walking a little further, she looked out the window again, but this time she simply waved cheerfully before flashing a peace sign and disappearing.
"Hahaha, she's waving to us captain." The newly created replacement for Schrodinger waved back.
The upper floors of the Tower of London.
"You're much stronger than I thought. You should be proud that you've brought me this far." Incognito said, rising from the rubble of the destroyed wall.
"Oh, please... please tell me you can get stronger. You have no idea how tired I am of fighting weaklings." Alucard said, seemingly hitting the grey-skinned vampire a little.
"...I see. I was in the same situation until I fell asleep." He shrugged in response, but it was clear that his calm words were hiding the anger seething inside.
"Were you asleep?" It seems like it's been a long time, like 500 years or so, am I right?
-Yes, I went into hibernation about 900 years ago.
- For someone so ancient, you certainly speak English well.
- It's child's play compared to my native tongue. It seems like a lot has improved, but a lot has weakened.
- Oh, do you have an opinion? - Both vampires were in no hurry to resume the fight, and were engaged in conversation.
- Humans. There are more of them, but how weak they have become. Too pampered by modern conveniences, while trying to make their lives easier and easier. I really found it hard to believe my eyes when I realized that these insects had become even weaker.
- Bold words, for someone who was enslaved by humans. - Alucard grinned.
- ... I'm telling you that from now on I will treat you as an equal. You should thank me. - Incognito said, ignoring the insult.
- You really are getting on my nerves, with all this nonsense about pedigree... history has proven more than once that blood does not determine your strength. - Alucard readied his weapon.
- For mortals it is. But for vampires, blood is everything. - Incognito said, pointing his two grenade launchers at the enemy and firing the first shot.
