The first anniversary of Igor Drakov's overthrow in Drakovia is about to be celebrated in the country, giving General Hopkins the opportunity to strike ! Taking advantage of Mina Harker's "business visit" to Drakovia—marking her first encounter with Dracula in nearly half a century, which could unsettle him—and that Porphyrion and most of his giants have departed for Tibet to aid the Yeti people against a natural catastrophe, the general plans to send his veritable private army to "liberate" Drakovia. Aided by a similar Russian army, led by a general who shares his worldview, and a few monster hunters more or less aware of what's at stake, Hopkins is ready. He can also count on the forced service of the cursed spectral knight Mordred and his five like-minded vassals, mounted on the backs of their powerful dragons. They're compelled to obey him because he possesses King Arthur's crown, thus forcing his damned knights to obey him. With revolutionary weaponry and a few other surprises, he's convinced he can conquer the country with a surprise attack, even though no country supports him. However, as the invasion begins, Gabriel Van Helsing, along with some friends, intends to stop it, thanks to information given by Loki. He plans to find the mythical "Wild Hunt," a army of damned immortal Elven hunters, imprisoned at a secret place, who can only obey one person : the greatest hunter in the world. The question is : will the Drakovia still be standing when Van Helsing finds it ?
