Chapter 1663: Competitor for Star Realm Army Marshal! (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader Nero, who stayed up late)
"Jörmungandr?"
"Isn't that the giant snake recorded in the Edda that encircles and devours the world?"
"Why is the one you summoned an empty iron shell in human form?"
Alucard, whose form was extremely twisted, bizarre, and evil, barely resembling a human, expressed his doubt in a highly captivating voice.
"The legends vary in each world. In our world, Jörmungandr refers to the giant god who stands on the earth and holds up the sky."
Joseph patiently explained the reason to him.
"So that's it, a world outside of worlds, how interesting..."
Alucard let out a pleased smile. Unexpectedly, his tone suddenly shifted.
"But what's the point of watching from above? Come down and face me, this monster, human!"
Just as Alucard spoke.
The surrounding sea of fire was actually controlled by a mysterious strength, forming a flame tornado with immense visual impact.
As it swept towards Jörmungandr with great momentum, it also surged upwards towards Joseph.
"Oh?"
"He actually has the ability to control flame?"
Joseph raised an eyebrow. This was indeed not in the intelligence.
He had thought Alucard's main abilities were blood and shadow.
However, Joseph remained unmoved by the heatwave and firelight rushing towards him, not even bothering to dodge.
Then, he saw an orange-red gemstone ring on his right hand light up with a bright aura.
Immediately, a fiery red spherical barrier formed around him, absorbing all the approaching heat and flame.
This further improved the barrier's strength.
Thus, a virtuous cycle was formed.
Joseph inside was not affected in the slightest.
This was, of course, the 'Ring of Fire's Crimson-Orange Ruby' which housed the 'Fire Spirit' Ifrit.
Looking back at Jörmungandr below.
It was the primary attack target of this flame tornado.
But a translucent barrier, shimmering with a hint of colorful light, also appeared around it, blocking all the flame and impact.
This was a defensive magic unique to the Nefertis Elves of the Familiar of Zero World.
Reflection Shield!
It had a poor effect against physical point-penetrating attacks.
For example, bombardment from howitzers.
But it was extremely effective against large-scale elemental attacks, especially those from the magic side.
The flame tornado created by Alucard before him was exactly this.
This meant that not only did it fail to cause damage to Jörmungandr.
Instead, it was pushed back in Alucard's direction.
Causing him to be submerged in the sea of fire again, pointlessly consuming a life.
[Boom!!!]
This finally made Alucard realize how troublesome Joseph, the Magic Association President, was.
Even a mere puppet summoned casually possessed such means.
Fortunately, he had anticipated encountering a strong enemy before coming.
Therefore, he had already asked Integra to open the Level Zero Seal in advance.
So that he could exert one hundred percent of his strength.
This was also why he had favor towards Integra.
The other party truly trusted him.
He just wasn't sure what Integra's attitude would be when she learned that he wanted to break free from the control of the 'Hellsing' family.
And interact with her normally on equal footing.
From this perspective, it was Alucard who lacked trust in Integra.
But for freedom, he could only be cautious.
Otherwise, once Integra decided to use the Restraint Control Spell to seal most of his strength.
And forcibly order him to return to the coffin to slumber.
Then everything would be over. Alucard dared not gamble!
So, he could only first find a method to dispel the Restraint Control Spell.
Then go back to explain and comfort her, and gain her understanding...
At the same time.
Just as Hank and Han's combat concluded in Congleton.
Alucard and Joseph's combat had just begun in Warrington.
In Nottingham, while Uchiha Kokuu was in a duel against Percyval and Anderson.
King Bradley, the Commander of the Fourth Heavy Combined Brigade, was personally heading to Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales aboard the 'Milky Way' Transport Plane, escorted by six 'Lightning' Fighter Aircraft.
Because Yuri had told him that there was an 82.3% possibility that Montana Max's command center was located there.
Eighty-two point three percent possibility, this was almost certain.
King Bradley was very interested in this Montana Max who claimed he wanted to become the Star Realm Army Marshal.
Clearly, Major Montana had underestimated the ability of strong artificial intelligence in this technology world.
Although he had achieved 'network-free Command' through airplanes and manpower.
The subordinate forces of 'Millennium' and the NATO nations could not.
Yuri, through monitoring information, calculating data, and the global scan from the 'Starlink' in the sky.
Continuously narrowed down the possible range of his location.
Finally locking onto this vast national park in the United Kingdom.
This was a place that was a considerable distance away, yet not too far, where the battle situation could be observed firsthand at any time.
However, the present situation was somewhat beyond Major Montana's plan.
His original plan was to command Bel Bluff, Seras, Han, Alucard, Percyval, Anderson, and others.
Step by step, gather the experts and military strength of both sides to Birmingham for the most tragic and spectacular war.
Unexpectedly, Bel Bluff, Seras, and Han were successively defeated and captured.
Percyval and Anderson were trapped by a fire wall in Nottingham.
Alucard even went on an adventure alone to save Seras.
Now, they were all scattered.
Only the Star Realm Army and the NATO Allied Forces, following the offensive and defensive posture, gradually concentrated around Birmingham.
So Major Montana's mood was somewhat depressed now.
He found that his bargaining chips were completely unable to influence the World Government.
Instead, his own side's actions were constantly being pulled along.
He naturally knew where the problem lay, but there was nothing he could do.
Yes, this was the gap of absolute strength!
Therefore, Major Montana looked forward even more to the day he joined the World Government and commanded the Star Realm Army.
At that time, he would no longer have to worry about the chess pieces being of too low quality and too few in quantity.
He could fully enjoy world-level wars one after another.
Maximizing his war talent.
Just as this fat man in white, with both hands behind his back, standing in front of a chair, his eyes watching the United Kingdom map on the large screen, his ears listening to the passionate symphony, and his mind imagining the beautiful future.
Only a loud noise of 'bang' disrupted the atmosphere in the room.
"Is something the matter, Doctor?"
Major Montana was not annoyed by this at all, but instead turned around gently to ask Doctor Menggele Gulande, who had suddenly burst in.
The latter shouted urgently: "Major! The base is under attack! The SS are intercepting, please move to transfer immediately!"
"Was this place discovered?"
Major Montana was slightly astonished, then smiled with relief:
"It seems the World Government still has quite a few things I don't know about."
"Well, never mind, anyway, everything that could be done has been done. It's time to officially meet them. It's just a pity I won't get to see Alucard's combat."
Doctor Menggele Gulande fell into silence as he listened.
But from outside the open door, urgent gunshots and explosion sounds kept coming.
"The Last Battalion... is it just... finished like this?"
The great Doctor's mood was complex.
"Hahahaha, what's the big deal about that?"
"As long as you and I are still here, we can manufacture as many troops like The Last Battalion as we want!"
"Besides, don't you think it would be more interesting to build the Star Realm Army into a 'new' The Last Battalion?"
Major Montana spread his arms and spoke his idea.
"Come, stand by me, and let us quietly await the arrival of our distinguished guests!"
The smile on his face was so radiant, so heartfelt, and his eyes were full of excitement and expectation.
