Hiding A Logistics Center In The Apocalypse Chapter 176

Hiding the Logistics Center in the Apocalypse Episode 176

Piracy (2)

“Oh, my goodness… I had an accident.”

Angel Adriel clicked his tongue.

The Angels of Arcane have just invaded the economic prison camp without permission.

Because I heard that it was a decisive turning point for the prisoners' riot.

“Things have gotten really big. Annihilation….”

That too was surprising.

Arcane magicians boast the most powerful power among the upper dimensions.

They were all swept away without exception in a prisoner riot.

Even though he had freed himself from the restraints of the magic tool, Adriel had no idea that there were so many powerful forces hiding in the camp.

Three blue-class wizards and dozens of apprentice wizards.

It must have been a painful experience for Arcane to lose them overnight…

“You don’t have time for that.”

Before they could deal with their pain, they had to take responsibility for their actions.

From trespassing into the camp to damaging magical tools, this incident was the result of Arcane's reckless search from start to finish.

Franco, who was interrogating Florence in various ways in order to find Roberto's body.

Now that the missing body had been found in the camp, things would be a little quieter.

Adriel will also be able to escape Franco's persistent suspicion.

but···.

“Arcane, Nana······.”

Even so, Adriel's situation did not improve much.

He was now in the interrogation room.

Black-clad angels charged with the mission of gratitude rushed to him,

It had already been over ten hours since I was dragged here without being able to resist and sat on this hard chair.

Even if the issue of Roberto's body had been resolved, the fact that business on Earth had gone down the drain remained unchanged.

A military factory project involving the Chamber of Commerce and Barnaul.

He was being held accountable for his massive business failures.

"under······."

In reality, it was closer to just bullying.

I just placed a piece of white paper on him and left him to sit there helplessly.

Adriel had to replay the events on Earth by writing and erasing, writing and erasing.

Those nightmares where you can't even understand what you did wrong.

“You little shits···.”

The high angels of Florence were demanding.

Try to explain it away somehow as 'your fault'.

To admit that the failure of the business was not due to their own plans, but to Adriel's mistakes and incompetence in carrying out the plans.

Adriel was gritting his teeth and humiliatingly rolling his pen.

“······When this is completed, I···.”

The disposition has not been decided yet.

But Adriel could easily imagine the future that awaited him.

First of all, the title of Archangel will be removed.

The weapons and items that were distributed will be confiscated, you will be subjected to all sorts of disciplinary actions like medals, and you will be ridiculed and despised, and naturally removed from your position.

A bleak future awaited him,

All I was given was a pen and a fucking blank sheet of paper.

While he was swallowing up his resentment and regret…

Kkieeeeee······.

“······?”

The door opened with a swoosh.

Adriel's eyes widened.

The one who entered the interrogation room was not an angel from the Audit Department, but Franco, who was thought to be dead.

Franco came in with a slow gait, moved his body hesitantly, and sat down on the chair opposite him.

Then she spoke to him in a somewhat weak voice.

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

“What··· happened?”

“I survived. If only it weren’t for that damn warlock….”

That's the whole story.

When Buendia reversed the magicians' attack, Franco felt certain death.

But his animal instincts found the only way out, and he immediately pulled up the apprentice wizards who had been forming a defensive barrier behind him.

To use it as your own shield.

“···Is that how you survived?”

“They were all dead anyway. I lifted them up in layers, so they served as a shield.”

The attack launched by Buendia was that lethal.

No, it was a joint attack by three blue magicians in the first place.

Despite having sacrificed the lives of others to survive, Franco seemed to have no remorse.

“I lost consciousness like that. When I woke up, I was back in the Magic Tower. Now, Arcane is keeping the fact that I survived a secret from the outside world. They’re trying to sell sympathy by saying that all the magicians who entered the concentration camp were killed….”

Arcane was suffering from tremendous criticism.

Their mistake released vicious criminals into the multiverse.

The intention was to sneak a peek into the story by telling a story of promising young wizards being murdered.

“I’m finished now.”

A wizard who lost his life and does not exist.

That was the name Franco was now embracing.

In a different way from Adriel, who is responsible for the failure of the business on Earth.

“I was originally scheduled to be promoted to Red-tier wizard next week. But that all went down the drain. Now Arcane has abandoned me.”

Also because it was like that···.

“I escaped from the Magic Tower without permission. I came in here after casting a sleeping spell on the angels guarding the outside. I came to see you.”

“···What did you say?”

Franco was making his last desperate move.

If things continue like this, his path as a wizard will come to an end.

“I’m sorry I doubted you before. But now I know for sure. Roberto’s body was a bait set by those criminal bastards. They dared to use Arcane, me, and Franco to escape. While I was in the Tower, I investigated that guy named Buendia. He was a genius warlock who had been locked up for decades… No matter how much I thought about it, I was convinced that it was all part of his plan. Of course, he must have Roberto’s body too….”

“···What do you want from me?”

“The only way to turn things around is to capture them again. Pyrene’s binding techniques are famously strong. The Chain of Light that blocks the opponent’s abilities… You, who still holds the title of Archangel, should be able to use it.”

That's why Franco came to see Adriel.

In order to turn this situation around, we need to catch the criminals who escaped from the camp together.

Franco could use psychokinesis magic, but he needed Adriel's binding magic to subdue his opponent.

but···.

“Why should I do that? The prisoners’ escape is your fault, not mine.”

He had no reason to agree.

Moreover, what Franco proposes is to leave Florence without permission.

For Adriel, who was held captive in the interrogation room, it was an extremely dangerous story.

However, Franco did not come empty-handed.

“I heard you were planning to do some fun business with Barnaul. I heard that Barnaul is currently in ruins···.”

“······!”

Florence's plan to establish a military factory on Earth together with Barnaul.

Even though the plan was carried out in complete secrecy, Franco knew the whole story.

“The reason you’re in this state now is because that business failed. Just as I can turn things around by arresting the prisoners… you still have a chance, Archangel.”

“···There is still a chance?”

“The only one who can take Barnaul’s place is Buendia… that guy. If you help us capture the prisoners, I will use all of Arcane’s brainwashing magic to turn him into Piren’s puppet. Then I can use him to continue my business on Earth.”

“Buendia······.”

Adriel had also heard of it.

A genius black magician who was imprisoned by the Chamber of Commerce.

The fortress was so great that it could be compared to Arcane.

'······.'

It wasn't impossible.

If Adriel's magic could limit Buendia's power, it wasn't like there was no chance of winning.

With Barnaul gone, Buendia was the only black magician capable of demonstrating such abilities.

If that happens···.

'The situation is completely reversed. No, it's more than that.'

Barnaul is missing.

If Florence joins hands with the Chamber of Commerce, it will be able to monopolize business on Earth.

If he could achieve that much, Adriel could completely erase the blame for his past business failures.

Franco urged him on while he was in deep thought…

“You’ll have to decide quickly. Other angels will be arriving soon.”

“I promise to give Buendia away… I must keep my promise.”

Adriel sat up abruptly.

I hurried out of the interrogation room with Franco,

Wheeeeeeeeeeee······.

The belated alarm sounded as they stepped on their shadows that had disappeared.

***

Immediately after deciding to seize the Chamber of Commerce's magic stone.

Buendia told us about the special features of the Gradiva they were making.

It was true that he was able to pinpoint the location with his keen detection skills, but…

“If you detect the location and go there, there is only empty space. You can’t approach Gradiva that way. That’s why the transport ships deliver the magic stones to Gradiva in a very unique way…”

There was a way to determine its location, albeit in a roundabout way.

The Chamber of Commerce's Gradiva is located throughout the multidimensional world.

Around that empty space, dozens of magic stone transport ships were orbiting at a constant speed.

Surprisingly, that was the 'way to deliver the magic stone' to Gradiva.

“As you move along the Gradiva’s orbit… surprisingly, the magic stones on board the transport ship will gradually decrease. They will gradually be absorbed. Therefore, until all the magic stones on board the cargo ship are exhausted, the transport ship’s navigators will continue to sail the same orbit endlessly.”

Dozens of magic stone transport ships are stationed around the dark Gradiva.

In this regard, the core of Buendia's plan was as follows.

It will be 'sustainable'.

In other words···.

“Let’s make it so they don’t even know it’s been shaved, okay?”

“That’s correct. Once the alarm sounds, the transport ships’ orbits will be completely changed. And each transport ship will be accompanied by an escort ship. Even if they fight, it will be nearly impossible to obtain the magic stone.”

The transport ship was equipped with various equipment.

A meter that displays the amount of magic stones remaining, communication equipment that allows transport ships to send and receive warnings, an alarm device that can request an escort ship, and even an escape device that can shoot and steal magic stones in case of an accident.

In this part at least, the prisoners brought from the camp decided to put in effort.

“Those guys will disable the communication equipment and alarms. After stealing the magic stones, I will manipulate the memories of the transport crew to make it seem like nothing happened… and I will manipulate the gauges to make it seem like there are still plenty of magic stones on board.”

Then our plunder will be for naught.

Transport ships will also be left to orbit helplessly, carrying empty cargo.

This process would be repeated until all of the dozens of transport ships surrounding the Gradiva had been taken out.

but···.

“Of course, this is after we successfully seize the transport ship.”

There was something that had to come first.

Approaching the transport ship covertly.

Of course, there was no tool as useful as my subspace portal.

“I’ll open it for you right on time.”

As the transport ship passes by, it opens a portal by surprise.

Immediately after, the camp's capable people planned to rush in and seize control of the transport ship without anyone knowing.

“The ride has been decided···.”

I decided to use the 'asteroid' version of the Sky Island that I used when heading to Barnaul.

As it orbits, it will just appear as another ordinary satellite.

We boarded the Sky Island…

“Let’s go.”

Hurrruk!

Immediately, the fuel nozzle burst into flames.
