London time, ten in the morning.
Almost at the exact moment the second hand ticked past, twenty large trucks thundered in from the outskirts of London like mighty war chariots, charging onto the streets.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Along the way, the trucks rammed aside vehicle after vehicle blocking their path, charging toward Buckingham Palace at top speed as though no one stood in their way.
Reinforced by the Amakusa-Style Church's magicians with spells, every truck possessed enough power and endurance to send vehicles flying like pebbles as they raced through London's streets.
"There are no ordinary pedestrians on London's streets right now, so don't hold back! Charge straight ahead!"
Standing atop the lead truck, Kanzaki shouted her orders while maintaining maximum vigilance, one hand resting on the Seven-Day Seven-Blade Sword at her waist, ready to strike at any moment.
"Yes!"
The many magicians of the Amakusa-Style Church answered loudly, their voices filled with excitement.
That was only natural.
After all, the Amakusa-Style Church was now fighting shoulder to shoulder with the Female Pope they had always followed.
Even though Kanzaki herself had not realized it yet, under these circumstances, she was gradually forgetting that she had long since left the Amakusa-Style Church, instinctively issuing orders in her capacity as its pope.
For that very reason, Tatemiguya Itsuki, the acting pope, wisely kept his frivolous mouth shut. Wearing an excited expression, he drove at the front with Gohwa, whose face was equally bright with joy, and the companions stationed in the truck beds behind them.
Sylvia and Vivian remained in the middle of the convoy.
Fang Li stood atop a truck like Kanzaki, with one truck separating them. He gripped Bō Xié in his hand and fixed his gaze ahead.
Under Fang Li's use, the Enemy Detection Skill spread outward like radar.
