Chapter 1941： Sprites in the dark

The night is getting very deep, and the weather is getting colder.

There was even rain in the sky, and under the gusts of northwest wind, it poured straight into people’s necks. It was so cold that people shivered with the cold.

The square in front of the Temple Church and the surrounding area are still brightly lit at this time, as if daylight.

However, apart from a large number of London police officers who are on duty against the wind and rain, as well as heavily armed British soldiers, there are also a few dedicated media reporters. No other figures can be seen here.

As everyone knows now, the Temple Church and the surrounding area is a volcano that may erupt at any time, and fierce gun battles may erupt at any time. Ordinary people dare to come here.

Of course, many Vatican security personnel with special missions had to stand up to the wind and rain near the Temple Church.

The vehicles they rode in were parked on a few streets near the Temple Church. The people in each vehicle were fully armed and in a state of high alert, ready to rush out to support the Temple Church.

A little farther away, many security personnel who followed Ye Tian's orders hid in various identities in residential houses and hotels of all sizes, waiting for Ye Tian's orders.

On the Thames, not far from the Temple Church, it was also blocked by the London police at this moment. The police patrol boat was cruising back and forth on the river, and the powerful beam of searchlights kept sweeping on the river.

In the temple of the Temple Church, the employees of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company who have worked hard for a day have all fallen asleep in their sleeping bags. David and the Bishop of Kent are the same, they have already fallen asleep.

Ye Tianhe's many security personnel are still fully armed and under high alert, listening to everything 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 at all times.

Soon, the time came to around two midnight.

The cold and humid weather in London, coupled with prolonged periods of high alert and high mental stress, made many security personnel very tired and yawning constantly.

Only Ye Tian, ​​still full of energy, constantly scanned the situation in the temple and the central temple in the temple church, and turned on the perspective ability from time to time to observe the situation outside the church.

Suddenly, all the lights in the Temple Church went out, and this medieval Gothic church that was originally brightly lit suddenly fell from the light into the darkness.

At the same time, the lights in the square in front of the Temple Church and the surrounding area were all turned off at the same time, and the whole block was plunged into darkness.

At this time, the sky over London was covered with clouds and drizzle, and there was no moonlight to penetrate. For a while, the entire block could not be seen.

Even the Fleet Street not far away, the Thames river channel 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 went out, the emergency lights arranged everywhere in the church immediately turned on, but the light was not as good as before, and it was dim everywhere and severely restricted vision.

"Guys, a wonderful show is about to be staged. Please cheer up and get ready to fight. This must be a wonderful night"

As soon as the lights went out, Ye Tian's implied murderous voice came from the walkie-talkie, and immediately awakened all the exhausted armed security personnel, and everyone immediately became energetic.

There is no pause, Ye Tian's voice still keeps coming from the intercom, and it reaches everyone's ears.

"Someone cut off the power to the entire block. This is obviously a prelude to the attack. Those who cut off the power want to attack the temple in the temple church in the dark and **** the Christian holy objects.

Everyone wears infrared night vision devices, which is convenient for combat. Call out all the company employees who got into their sleeping bags. Don’t wait for the gunshots to wake them up. That will definitely panic.

Leonardo, the same goes for you, all wear night vision goggles, so as not to open fire randomly in the dark and kill each other regardless of enemy and me. Don’t forget to inform your security personnel and the police outside.

In the next battle, we are on the passive defensive side. No matter what happens outside the church, we don’t have to pay attention. If anyone wants to break into the church, then send him to hell! "

"Understand, Steven"

All the security personnel of the inner temple and the central temple responded in unison, everyone is full of self-confidence and high morale.

Immediately afterwards, everyone put on infrared night vision devices one after another, and woke up the company employees and Vatican priests who were sleeping in their sleeping bags to prepare for battle.

Jason, David, and other company employees who woke up from their sleep 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 with their hands and feet, and quickly prepared to respond.

This situation in front of you, everyone has long expected, and all are not panicked, but a bit excited.

On the other side, Ye Tian is still making arrangements.

"Cole, let our two medium-sized helicopters get ready for take-off. If necessary, let them take off and come here as soon as possible to provide support for us or cover our evacuation.

There are also those armed security guards hiding around, and the ships responsible for responding on the Thames. They are all ready to go to war with those hiding in the dark.”

"Okay, Steven, I'll just notify guys"

Talking, Cole picked up the walkie-talkie and began to arrange tasks.

At this time, Ye Tian had turned on perspective again, his sight penetrated the wall not far ahead and the darkness outside, and looked far away.

A large number of London police and British soldiers guarding the front of the Temple Church have turned on their car lights and brought searchlights, constantly sweeping the dark streets in the distance and every dark corner.

Without exception, each of them held the gun in his hand tightly, hid in or behind the car, turned his back to the Temple Church, and stared nervously at the dark-shrouded places ahead, ready to fire at any time.

Because he was in the inner temple, far away from the main entrance of the temple church, the perspective line of sight penetrated the church door, and then looked outside, there was not much that Ye Tian could see.

Within the scope of perspective, he only saw a few indistinct shadows, but for a while, he couldn't tell whether it was a human shadow or a tree shadow.

However, there are a large number of London police and British soldiers on the square in front of the Temple Church. 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 not be possible to rush into the church for a while. Those London police and British soldiers are not paperwork!

Quickly glanced at the front of the Temple Church, Ye Tian turned his head and looked at the side of the church.

His vision penetrated the thick walls and the darkness outside again, probing all the ghosts hidden in the darkness.

Not far to the right of the Temple Church, it is a Victorian-style historic building with a total of four floors and belongs to the Middle Temple Law School.

Because of this joint exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar, the historic building has been closed today and has not been opened. The police cleaned it once before and confirmed that there was no one inside But, when Ye Tian His vision penetrated the wall, and when he entered the historic building, he saw seven or eight black shadows with their backs against the wall.

The dark shadows are hidden in two different rooms, and the windows of those two rooms are facing the Temple Church, the distance between them is only 23 meters.

More importantly, those guys are all carrying assault rifles, wearing Kevlar body armor, wearing infrared night vision, and each of them is carrying several flash bombs, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.

Seeing these guys who are hidden in the dark and may launch a surprise attack at any time, Ye Tian couldn't help showing a cold smile on his mouth.

There are no other hidden guys elsewhere in the Victorian-style building.

However, more than forty meters behind this historic building, there are a few sneaky shadows.

That is another group of people, also for those Christian holy objects, but their military literacy is much worse!

After quickly scanning the situation on the right side of the church, Ye Tian turned his head and looked at the back of the church, ready to see how many unsuspecting guys were hidden in the darkness behind the inner temple.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from his ear.

"Boom"

There was a violent explosion, unexpectedly coming from the main entrance of the Temple Church.

With this deafening explosion, a **** battle began.
