Chapter 113 The Dark History of the Blood Clan (23)

Buckingham Palace.

The Prime Minister is dead and the King is absent.

Some high-ranking officials who secretly supported the Secret Party defected early, and some officials who were not optimistic about the war also took leave and went to Australia or even India.

In the entire British government, there are only two or three big cats and small cats left, such as the Foreign Secretary, the Health Secretary, and the First Lord of the Admiralty.

Hircine, the Swordbearer of the Ecclesiarchy, is also attending this meeting.

Even at this moment, with George V's endorsement of the declaration of war, the British cabinet still had no unified thoughts and was still arguing.

Some support mobilizing all armed forces to deliver a thundering blow, some support defending on the spot and waiting for the royal army to arrive, some support that it is all a misunderstanding and negotiations with the vampires are necessary, some support simply giving London to the secret party for a victorious advance, and so on.

Hircine checked his pocket watch, walked out of the conference room, and sighed to the butler who had been guarding the door, "I'm afraid there won't be any results before sunset."

"Denis, you stay here and don't let these distinguished cabinet ministers fight."

"I'll go meet my friends from the East."

At this moment, Buckingham Palace is guarded by nearly a thousand armed soldiers, which is the maximum force that can be mobilized in the short term.

Britain has never attached much importance to the army. Now throughout London, some of the army supporting the cabinet suffered heavy losses in the bombing inside the barracks.

The Air Force was severely infiltrated by the vampires, but the Navy was far away and could not provide support so quickly.

It is really astonishing that the core of the entire British Empire now has no soldiers capable of fighting.

In the small conference room of Buckingham Palace, Zheng Zha, Zhao Yingkong, Ming Yanwei, Saito Ichi and George Joestar were discussing something around a map.

Seeing Hircine walking in with a team of armed guards, George Joestar raised his head and asked quickly, "Count, what's the situation?"

At this moment, Helsing maintained the dry humor typical of British aristocrats: "I thought that after the tempering of the European war, the cabinet ministers would know the value of time."

“I didn’t expect that even now, they are still willing to spend their energy on banging their hands on the table.”

Although he had expected this, George Joestar still felt frustrated.

Saito Yi and Zheng Zha exchanged glances, then said, "Count Hirsing, could you please tell us about the vampires?"

As the descendant of the most famous vampire hunter a hundred years ago, Hircine can be regarded as one of the people in the world who knows the secrets of vampires best.

He pulled out a chair and calmly sat down, then began to introduce the secret history of the vampire race to everyone: "Perhaps many people have heard that the earliest legend of the vampire race's origin comes from Cain in the Bible."

"He killed his shepherd brother out of jealousy, becoming the first sinner in human history and thus receiving God's curse."

"His punishment is that he must live his entire life sucking the blood of living people, and he will be immortal, suffering from this curse for generations to come."

"Driven by loneliness, Cain created the second generation of vampires, who gave rise to Cain's thirteen grandsons."

"This third generation is the survivors of Noah's flood. They established thirteen large clans."

"The third generation of vampires are known as clan princes. Legend has it that they even possess power comparable to that of gods."

Zheng Zha nodded. This was roughly consistent with the versions he had heard in some novels and games in the real world.

However, Hircine immediately changed the subject: "But these are all fabricated histories made up by the vampires to whitewash their own shameful past. In fact, the truth is not entirely true."

"Except for a very small number of True Ancestors born from the curse of the gods, most of the vampires who inherit bloodlines are just the products of experiments by the Night Clan, the son of the ancient gods."

"Back then, vampires were merely used as pets and food."

The Night Clan? What the hell is that?

Zheng Zha has not watched JOJO, so he doesn't know much about the background of this pillar.

Saito Kazu was very interested in the story behind this. He originally thought that the power of the vampires came from the curse of the gods, but he didn't expect that it was the product of experiments of another race.

The name of the Ye clan was surprisingly similar to some fragments of information he had seen during archaeological excavations.

Hircine continued, "Vampires are said to be immortal, but that's not entirely true. Their lifespan still has an end, but it's much longer than that of ordinary mortals."

"Human civilization has not existed long enough to measure their average lifespan."

"Moreover, there are no true third-generation vampires in Europe today. They either perished in endless battles or hid in coffins and entered a long hibernation to delay their aging."

"With the Demonic Party in complete decline today, the most powerful vampire force in the entire European continent is the Secret Party, which boasts at least two hundred earls and nearly a thousand viscounts."

"Of course, what we are talking about here is strength, not title."

"After thousands of years of inheritance, the titles of nobility among vampires have continued to increase. Many weaker vampires who are noble or close to those in high positions can also bear the title of earl or marquis."

"Thorte Cavendish, for example, is just a title of Duke, the current head of the Cavendish family."

"However, his strength is only above that of the ordinary Six Wings of the Secret Party."

"A thousand years ago, he couldn't bear the honorific title of Duke."

Combining his previous experience, Zheng Zha had some understanding. The blood clan's power was generally declining. Few could reach the level of an A-level blood clan marquis in the Lord God's evaluation. Most of the backbone forces were between B and double B levels.

There is no need to be intimidated by their titles of marquis and duke.

Having said that, Hirsing paused and said with a very serious expression, "I would like to remind everyone that our biggest enemy is Niklaus Michelson, the current president of the British Sky Eye Society."

"That guy is the current leader of the Secret Party and the strongest vampire in the British Isles. He is known as the strongest vampire of the modern era."

"A thousand years ago, he was qualified to be a prince."

"The former leader of the Protestant Church and my great-grandfather died at his hands."

"He can be said to be one of the several sources of conspiracy to start World War I and to have gained great benefits from the war."

"Under Niklaus's instigation, the Secret Party used the First War to inflict a heavy blow to the Demonic Feast Alliance, which dominated the European continent. This not only solidified their leadership position among the vampires, but also encroached upon many human interests."

"Nicklaus's dark influence spread throughout Europe and even all the British colonies, and he was like a spider in a web, with no movement escaping his sight."

"Of course, we don't have to be so desperate." Seeing everyone's ugly faces, Haier Xin changed his tone.

"The Camarilla also lost a large number of its core members in the European War. Its current strength is far less than it was at its peak. Aside from Niklaus himself, there are only a dozen or so vampire warriors close to the rank of marquis."

"The remaining ones all died or went into hibernation during the war with the Demon Party."

Three more should have been subtracted, as they were killed by Zhuang Boshi in the castle.

But Niklaus Michelson.
Zheng Zha silently recited the name.

Referring to Hirsing's statement and based on his own experience of fighting, the vampires in this world are not as universal as the mutated vampire bloodline of the Lord God. They have weaknesses such as sunlight holy water, but they have more means.

Then, Niklaus should have an enhancement level of at least A to double A, as well as multiple vampire skills.

Tsk, isn’t that much stronger than Imhotep?

A double A-level vampire prince, a dozen double B-level to A-level vampire warriors, plus dozens or hundreds of B-level vampire earls.

This is also scary.

No wonder they can rule Europe.

Zheng Zha was a little distressed. Now, except for Zhuang Boshi, the rest of the Zhongzhou team were only B-level enhancements, and their combat power was completely disproportionate.

So he looked at Hircine. Since they had been able to fight against the Camarilla for so long, the Ecclesiarchy must have some trump card.

And Helsing's next words left Zheng Zha completely speechless.

"Of course, the Anglicans have also suffered heavy losses. It's already a stretch to devote all their resources to defending Buckingham Palace."

"But don't worry, I will let the Ecclesiarchy's trump card, Akado, hold him back." Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, Count Hirsing finally told them the good news.

"Acardo, who is that?" Zheng Zha scratched his head. Could it be that besides the butler, there are other masters in the National Religious Group?

Count Hirsing hesitated, but still began to explain: "Perhaps you are more familiar with his other name. He was Count Dracula of Transylvania."

Dracula!
George's scalp was already tingling, while Zheng Zha and Saito looked at each other.

This name is well-known, but Count Dracula is also a vampire. How can he stand on the side of humans?

As if he could see the confusion of Zheng Zha and the others, Count Helsing went on to explain: "My ancestor is Abraham van Helsing."

"Nearly a hundred years ago, my ancestors and their companions defeated and sealed him in Transylvania."

"From then on, he signed a blood pact with our family, helping us eliminate the vampires, werewolves, and other dark forces."

"It is truly shameful that in an age when the light of God is fading, we can only resort to this method to maintain the balance between humanity and darkness."

"This was also one of the prerequisites for the Albert Agreement to be signed."

Zheng Zha nodded, but George couldn't accept it. However, he also knew that now was not the time for internal strife.

Several people continued to discuss countermeasures, but Zheng Zha didn't quite understand these professional terms.

Looking out the window, the sky was still gloomy and night was about to fall.

This battle is not optimistic.

However, Chu Xuan told them that they only needed to stay in Buckingham Palace for three hours.

There are about two hours left now, and the vampires haven't started attacking yet, so it shouldn't be a problem.

At this moment, Zhao Yingkong's delicate ears moved slightly, his eyes suddenly became sharp, he looked outside the door and said coldly.

"coming."
