After the events of the Valentine brother's attack, Walter hires the Wild Geese, a band of professional mercenaries lead by Captain Vernedead. Integra receives an invitation from Enrico Maxwell, the leader of the Iscariot organization. She and Maxwell don't get along at first, which almost leads to a confrontation between Alucard and Anderson. Seras causes a distraction, which leads to Alucard and Anderson leaving peacefully.

Maxwell later tells Integra what his side knows about Millennium, and reveals that the surviving members fled to South America. He also reveals that his side helped the Nazis in the past, which led to the creation of Millennium. Integra returns back to the Hellsing HQ, and Alucard is told he will be sent to South America. Integra tells him his orders are to search and destroy. The next day, Alucard heads to Rio de Janeiro via jet, along with Vernedead and Seras (the latter of whom is locked in her coffin).

The group arrive at the hotel, and Alucard and Seras are staying in the penthouse. Vernedead is staying and another hotel elsewhere, and tells Alucard that they'll start the investigation tomorrow. Seras has a strange dream involving the spirit of her weapon, the Harkonnen. The spirit warns her something terrible is about to happen, and Seras is then woken up by Alucard. They see that the hotel is surrounded by police and news crews. The news crews report that Alucard and Seras are two terrorists, who have killed people in the hotel.

A SWAT team is sent in, who find Alucard and shoot him. He quickly revives and slaughters them all, and he then tells Seras to prepare for battle. Seras is in shock at what Alucard has done, as these men were just human. Alucard says he doesn't care what they are, they'd been sent here to kill them. He says this is just the way it is. He then calls Integra, and asks what his orders are. Integra tells him that he's to search and destroy.

Alucard heads out of the hotel, killing more police on the way. He gets outside and finds a vampire called Tubalcain Alhambra waiting for him. He's the one who had been working with the police, promising the police superiors the chance to become immortal. He and Alucard quickly get into a fight, and Tubalcain's exploding cards and Alucard's bullets result in more police getting killed. Nearby, Vernedead finds and kills all of the police superiors.

Alucard and Tubalcain battle up to the roof of the hotel. Thanks to Seras causing a distraction, Alucard is able to defeat Tubalcain , destroying one of his legs and arms in the process. He then starts sucking his blood, and learns of who leads Millennium: The Major. Tubalcain is set on fire, but Alucard consumes him. Vernedead then appears, having gotten a helicopter by holding the pilot hostage.

Alucard says they're all encourageable warmongers, and asks the Major if he agrees. The Major has been watching what has been happening from a zeppelin, and says it's time for them to return home. As the zeppelin flies through the sky, the Major says they're coming, and he doesn't care how many try to stop him. Anyone who dares to stand in his way will be destroyed... welcome to this crazy time!
