Order 07: Dead Zone (1)

Dead Zone (1) is the first part of "Dead Zone", the first chapter of Hellsing: Volume 2, and the seventh chapter of the Hellsing Manga. All parts were adapted in the Anime, titled "Brotherhood" and "Dead Zone". Later, the OVA adapted it in the Second OVA.

Summary
Sir Integra holds a Round Table conference to report her findings regarding the current wave of vampire attacks, while vampire brothers Jan and Luke Valentine launch a covert sneak attack on the Hellsing compound with the help of a ghoul army outfitted with military gear and small arms.

Plot
Integra holds a meeting with The Convention of Twelve, a secret organization that controls Great Britain, about the transmission devices found on the bodies of several vampires, explaining that she believes someone is behind these attacks. She also mentions how odd it is that the ghouls fail to be destroyed by the death of their Vampire master, and how even obviously chaste individuals were turned into ghouls. Meanwhile, Seras is startled to realize that she no longer has a bed and instead has a coffin now, while Alucard patronizes her for not drinking blood. Walter gives Alucard a new custom gun, the "Jackal", and Seras an anti-tank cannon, the Hallconnen.

Outside of Headquarters, Vampiric brothers Jan and Luke Valentine are stopped by a guard. They try to tell the guards that they are merely on a tour, visiting the castles of the British Nobility, pointing to a parked bus. The guards insist that it is a restricted area that cannot be entered, to which the ghouls inside the bus are ordered to kill the guards. The brothers then begin their siege. Integra learns of the ghoul army after a panicked soldier reports to her over the radio, to which the Convention of Twelve begin to panic themselves. Jan then takes control of one of Hellsing's radios and calls them, informing them that he has already ate some of the soldiers and tells them to get ready for him. Afterwards, Integra contacts Walter for backup, though she soon learns that reinforcements will take hours. However, Walter let's her know that he will personally assist in taking down the enemy, alongside Alucard and Seras.
