Soldier of Fortune (4) (ルジャーオブフォーチュン (4),) is the first chapter of Hellsing: Volume 7 and the fourth part of Soldier of Fortune. It is also the Forty-Eighth chapter of the Hellsing manga.

Summary
Unfortunately for Seras, Zorin Blitz's Letzte Bataillon forces manages to get past the landmines and raided the Hellsing Manor, killing multiple of the Wild Geese before they could re-group. Pip Bernadotte received a message from one of the members of B-Block who said that it's impossible to re-group with the other blocks. B-Block makes their last stand as Zorin's forces charges at the long, narrow hallway.

Synopsis
Millennium Vampires easily kills multiple of the Wild Geese in B-Block, charging at them and biting them. The manor is completely destroyed, the Wild Geese suffered many causalities and everyone at the first floor had been eliminated. Bernadotte, with many of his men at the Round Table's meeting room, gets a message from one of the surviving members at B-Block, who said that their retreat's been cut off- making it impossible to link up with Bernadotte there. Bernadotte however, insists that they must get out of there in some way or another, even if they have to crawl. The spot at the Round Table office is the firmest, Bernadotte said that they'll open the barricade for them.

The B-Block member however, says that it's useless; they're on a heap of casualties himself included; they'll do all that they can there. "Close that barricade, please! For good fortune" the man says. Pip however, calls him a daft-asshole before finally realizing that its no use trying to convince them, and reluctantly lets them do whatever they wish. He smokes a cigar as a tells the Block-B member that it's been fun, to which, he agrees that it's been fun for him too; before telling Bernadotte that he'll see you in hell.

Pip orders his men to seal the barricade with anything, the Wild Geese Deputy was concerned about Block-B, to which, one of the members there says that they're done for. The Deputy frowns as he tries to accept that most of his comrades are gone. Then suddenly, of the Geese member says that there's no use; they're finished, but one of the members shuts him off. He however, continues talking about how it's hopeless, saying that Alucard and Integra have gone and cast them off. Bernadotte however, responds in a calm demeanor; says that he's not going anywhere, not that he'd let him do that. The Geese member however, says that he's leaving; but Bernadotte says that his grave is right here, his grave keeper is Integra and his tombstone is this manor. Bernadotte then says that his epitaph goes like this: "We're mercenaries that defeated the evil Nazis in high style, and here they sleep in high style", but because of his bawling; it changed to something like "wasted and gutless, they die like bugs while weeping like women".

Bernadotte then screams at the soldier, saying that he's gonna die in style even if he have to force him to; he gets paid to go to war cause he likes it, Bernadotte says and then he continues by saying "then fight and die because you like it", which finally, had the Geese member giving up trying to get out of this situation, cursing everywhere as he gets hopeless. Bernadotte then states that it's no given that they're going to die, since they're the defense. Bernadotte orders his men to put the barricade together, saying that the offense will turn the tables. Back a Block-B, the situation has gone completely out of their control; the library of the manor was destroyed by an explosion, and the last member there at the library was killed easily as he randomly shoots without paying attention; to which, the member of Zorin's forces easily kills him. The Nazis charges at the Geese while shooting, killing them quickly. Zorin Blitz finally makes an appearance, and in a psychotic tone, screams "burn, burn" and "kill them all, kill them all", shortly before mocking the Royal Order of Protestant Knights. The Geese who talked with Bernadotte with a walkie-talkie sneaks and tries to kill Zorin by shooting her, but before the bullet hits Zorin; her men quickly shields her- to which, Zorin extends her right arm and touches the wall and the illusion began, once more. The Geese member gets confused and suddenly, he sees his home.

Trivia

 * The Hellsing crest on Seras' shirt on the cover is noticeably different from the usual one. The castle is different, and the text encrypted on the crest too is different: Normally, it should be "We Are on a Mission from God", now it's just gibberish.
 * Though appearing on the cover of the chapter, Seras does not appear in this chapter.
