Chapter 1941 Demons and Monsters in the Dark
The night was getting deep and the weather was getting colder.
There was even raindrops in the sky, and under the gusts of northwest wind, it poured straight into people's necks. It was so cold that people shivered.
The square in front of the Temple Church and the surrounding area were still brightly lit, as if it were daytime.
However, apart from a large number of London police officers on duty despite the wind and rain, as well as heavily armed British soldiers, and a few persistent media reporters, there are no other figures to be seen here.
Everyone now knows that the Temple Church and its surrounding area is a volcano that may erupt at any time, and a fierce gun battle may erupt at any time. Ordinary people would dare to come here.
Of course, many Vatican security personnel with special missions had to stand guard near the Temple Church despite the wind and rain.
The vehicles they were riding in were parked on a few streets near the Temple Church. The people in each car were fully armed and on high alert, ready to rush out to support the Temple Church.
And in a place farther away, many security personnel under Ye Tian's orders are hiding in residential houses and hotels of all sizes in various identities, waiting for Ye Tian's orders.
The Thames River, not far from the Temple Church, was also blocked by the London police at the moment. Police patrol boats were cruising back and forth on the river, and the powerful beams of searchlights kept sweeping across the river.
In the temple inside the Temple Church, the employees of the Fearless Exploration Company who had worked hard all day had already slipped into their sleeping bags and fell asleep. David and the Bishop of Kent, too, had already fallen asleep.
Ye Tianhe's many security personnel were still fully armed and on high alert, listening to all movements inside and outside the church.
Before the sun comes out or the sky is bright, they dare not relax their vigilance for a moment, and must be on guard all the time.
Soon, the time came to around two o'clock in the middle of the night.
The cold and humid weather in London, coupled with the long-term high alert and high mental tension, many security personnel are quite tired and yawning non-stop.
Only Ye Tian, still full of energy, kept scanning the situation in the temple and the central temple in the temple church, and from time to time activated the perspective ability to observe the situation outside the church.
Suddenly, all the lights in the Temple Church were extinguished, and this originally brightly lit medieval Gothic church suddenly fell from light to darkness.
At the same time, the lights in the square in front of the Temple Church and the surrounding area were all extinguished at the same time, and the entire block was plunged into darkness.
At this time, the sky over London was overcast and rainy, and there was no moonlight that could penetrate. For a moment, the entire block could not be seen.
Even Fleet Street not far away, the Thames River in the opposite direction, and the blocks on the other side of the river were plunged into endless darkness.
In the Temple Church, as soon as the lights were turned off, the emergency lights arranged in various parts of the church were immediately turned on, but the light was not as good as before, everywhere was dim, and sight was severely restricted.
"Guys, a wonderful show is about to be staged, everyone cheer up and get ready to fight, this must be a very exciting night"
As soon as the lights were turned off, Ye Tian's murderous voice came from the walkie-talkie, which immediately woke up all the exhausted armed security personnel, and everyone became refreshed in an instant.
without the slightest pause,
Ye Tian's voice still kept coming from the intercom, reaching everyone's ears.
"Someone cut off the power to the entire block. This is obviously the prelude to an attack. Those guys who cut off the power want to storm the temple in the temple church in the dark and snatch those Christian relics.
Everyone wears infrared night vision goggles, which is convenient for combat. Wake up all the company employees who got into their sleeping bags, don't wait for the gunshots to wake them up, they will definitely panic
Leonardo, you are the same, all wear night vision goggles, so as not to open fire indiscriminately in the dark, killing each other regardless of enemy or friend, and don't forget to notify your security personnel and police outside.
In the ensuing battle, we are the passive defensive side. No matter what happens outside the church, we don't have to pay attention to it. Anyone who wants to break into the church will be sent to hell! "
"Understood, Steven"
All the security personnel of the inner temple and the middle temple responded in unison, and everyone was full of confidence and fighting spirit.
Immediately afterwards, everyone put on infrared night vision goggles one after another, and woke up the company employees and Vatican priests who were sleeping in sleeping bags, and got ready for the battle.
Jason and David, who woke up from their sleep, and other company employees understood the situation in a blink of an eye.
They immediately got out of their sleeping bags, quickly put on their coats and Kevlar body armor, and quickly prepared for the emergency.
Everyone had already expected the situation in front of them, so they didn't feel panicked, but rather excited.
On the other side, Ye Tian is still making arrangements.
"Cole, get our two medium-sized helicopters ready for takeoff, and if necessary, get them up here as soon as possible to provide support or cover our evacuation.
And those armed security personnel hidden around, and the ships in charge of responding on the Thames, all get ready to fight those guys hiding in the dark."
"Okay Steven, I'll let the guys know"
With that said, Cole picked up the walkie-talkie and began to assign tasks.
At this time, Ye Tian had turned on perspective again, and his sight penetrated the wall not far in front and the darkness outside, and looked into the distance.
A large number of London police and British soldiers standing in front of the Temple Church turned on their car lights and searchlights, and kept sweeping towards the dark streets and every dark corner in the distance.
Without exception, each of them was holding the gun tightly, hiding in the car or behind the car, with their backs to the Temple Church, their eyes staring nervously at the places shrouded in darkness ahead, ready to shoot at any time.
Because he was in the inner temple and was far away from the gate of the temple church, Ye Tian could see not many things when he saw through the gate of the church and looked outside.
Within the scope of perspective, he could only see a few indistinct black figures, but he couldn't tell whether they were human figures or tree shadows for a while.
However, there are a large number of London police and British soldiers in the square in front of the Temple Church, and he is not very worried about the security situation there.
Even if someone launches an attack from the front of the Temple Church, it will be impossible to rush into the church in a short while. Those London police and British soldiers are not just paper!
After a quick glance at the front of the Temple Church, Ye Tian turned his head to look at the side of the church.
His sight once again penetrated the thick wall and the darkness outside, exploring all the ghosts and monsters hidden in the darkness.
Not far from the right side of the Temple Church is a Victorian-style historic building with a total height of four floors and belongs to the Middle Temple Law School.
Because of this joint operation to explore the treasures of the Knights Templar, the historical building has been closed today and has not been opened. The police cleaned it up once before to make sure that there was no one inside.
However, when Ye Tian's vision penetrated the wall and entered the historical building, he saw seven or eight black figures leaning against the wall.
Those shadows were hidden in two different rooms, and the windows of those two rooms were facing the temple church, and the distance between them was only twenty-three meters.
More importantly, those guys are all carrying assault rifles, wearing Kevlar body armor, wearing infrared night vision goggles, and each of them is carrying several flash bombs, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.
Seeing these guys hiding in the darkness who might launch a surprise attack at any time, Ye Tian couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile.
There were no other hidden creatures anywhere else in the Victorian building.
However, more than 40 meters behind this historical building, there are several sneaky shadows.
That was another group of people, who also came for those Christian holy relics, but their military literacy was much worse!
After quickly scanning the situation on the right side of the church, Ye Tian turned his head to look at the back of the church, ready to see how many people with ulterior motives are hidden in the darkness behind the inner temple.
At this moment, there was a loud noise in his ear.
"boom"
There was a loud explosion, which actually came from the main entrance of the Temple Church.
With the deafening explosion, a bloody battle kicked off.
