Hiding A Logistics Center In The Apocalypse Chapter 191

Hiding the Logistics Center in the Apocalypse Chapter 191

Allied Forces (2)

Wheeee······.

On top of the spire where strong winds blow.

Below, and around, the barracks for the Allied Forces Command were being built.

Five foreigners staring blankly at Count Bereshti.

So, they were leaders dispatched from each of the five higher dimensions.

-······!

There was a lot of conversation.

The Faustian dimensional court was pierced in vain,

That Pyrenees had ruined the business on Earth.

The one who was licking his tongue was mainly Zeus II, who had been dispatched from Olympus.

The judge of Faust, who was very angry, shouted.

“These······. Those hooligans who only know how to sow seeds······!”

“Oh, I heard that it’s not easy to curse your parents. By the way······ Arcane came and went?”

Shortly after news of the plunder reached the area, Arcane wizards came to the evidence vault.

Of course, there was evidence related to Arcane's lawsuit, but I was also suspicious of his hasty attitude.

But Faust's judge shook his head strongly.

“How could I know what those pitch-black guys were thinking? They must have had some kind of thoughts.”

Arcane did not participate in this battle.

Bereshti is a faction belonging to the Veronica Duchy, and Arcane is allied with the Veronica Duchy.

Arcane declined to join the Allied Forces in the name of keeping his promise to Duke Veronica.

Of course, it was certainly a sham alliance.

Although he did not join the Allied Forces, he did not volunteer to help Bereshti either.

Zeus II looked at Count Bereshti with a longing look.

“An alliance… That’s ironic, isn’t it?”

Then he hit the vampire next to him.

A short woman with curly hair and pale skin.

It was Count Broyer who represented the 'Blood Pact', an alliance of vampire nobles.

“Shut up. Do you think all vampires are the same?”

Broyer kicked Zeus II's arm away.

Then he continued speaking with a look of contempt.

“At least those bastards don’t deserve it. They’re cowards who don’t even have the courage to seek blood.”

While the nobles of the Blood Pact consumed the blood of other races, the vampires of Duchess Veronica consumed a liquid called 'essence' instead of blood.

This place, Bereshti, is the production site of the 'essence' of the Duchess Veronica.

The Allied Forces, including the Chamber of Commerce and the Blood Alliance, also planned this war to destroy Bereshti's essence factory.

“Haha, I totally agree. There’s nothing thicker than blood in this world.”

“Shut up, there’s nothing more disgusting than your own blood.”

“Hey, you’re bouncing.”

Zeus poured himself a glass of wine and smirked.

Meanwhile, the Archangel of Florence, who had heard the report from his subordinates, approached Broyer.

“I’ve prepared the bait. I’ve carefully selected it, so it’ll be useful.”

“Okay, where are you?”

“You can’t see it because of the totem. I’m heading towards the main gate, so if you just give me the signal in time, there won’t be a problem.”

Broyer nodded.

They all paused for a moment, looking out over the battlefield,

Only the tin lizard, dispatched from Rodolfo's dimension, was tightening the screws on the installed telescope.

Creak.

Creak.

As the sound of the iron tightening began to count the time like the ticking of a clock······.

Phew oh oh oh!

Along with the sound of horns announcing battle, shouts erupted from all directions.

Wow!

Troops advancing while shouting.

Most of them were mercenaries recruited from the middle and lower levels.

If you survive well, you'll probably get a decent reward.

But the rulers of the higher levels knew that most of them would die a fatal blow to the meat shield.

Jiiiiiiiiing!

Bershti's Mercury weapon, an electromagnetic cannon, unleashed a chilling bolt of electricity.

The charred ground was strewn with corpses, dried and twisted, covered in soot.

However, thanks to the overwhelming quantity, the battlefield was quickly narrowing down to the outer wall.

and,

“Let’s go!”

Flutter!

Broyer spread his wings and descended the spire.

Then, commanding his own blood alliance troops, he quickly flew towards the count's castle.

"now······."

The archangel clenched his fist.

It was time to start using bait.

While the Earthlings distracted Bereshti, the Blood Alliance vampires would destroy the electromagnetic cannons installed on the walls.

The Archangel of Florence leisurely looked out over the battlefield, anticipating the obvious next scene.

but······.

"······uh?"

Pfft pfft pfft!

Isn't Broyer getting completely burned by electromagnetic bubbles?

The other vampires in the blood alliance were in the same situation.

The Earthlings who were used as bait had disappeared without a trace, and the electromagnetic bubbles that had captured their targets were roasting the vampires in real time.

“Hey, where the hell did you go?!”

He belatedly and desperately searched for the whereabouts of the missing Earthlings.

But in the meantime, another variable caught his eye.

-Ahhhhhhh!

-Hee, heeeeek!

Lower-dimensional baits that were advancing together towards the wall.

Because the vampires of the Blood Pact were biting them.

It was an urgent matter to suck out blood in order to compensate for the damage from the electromagnetic bubble.

“Damn it, I told you over and over again not to do that······!”

The Archangel of Florence closed his eyes tightly.

Using them as bait could be seen as part of the operation, but the vampires' actions now were nothing more than a 'team kill'.

But the vampires were desperate to survive and were biting their allies wherever they could find them······.

Phage, phage, phage!

The electromagnetic bubble was still alive and well, emitting only electric currents.

***

-Kaaaaaaah!

Pfft pfft pfft!

The sound of vampires being fried can be heard in real time.

It seems like they were really confident that we would attract attention.

When I see them rushing to the railgun like moths to a flame.

But what happened next was problematic.

"······what are you doing?"

Dozens of vampires were fried and scattered across the battlefield.

Then he started biting the napes of the necks of the other Allied forces that were advancing toward the citadel.

Blood and flesh flying everywhere, torn by their claws.

It was a horrific sight that could not be seen even with one's eyes open.

Meanwhile, we had reached a small, enclosed village.

I walked along the left path of the wall, hiding behind the camouflage curtain.

The houses were empty, suggesting that the residents had been evacuated inside the castle in advance.

Fortunately, we were quite a distance away from the vampires······.

"shit."

A vampire was flying towards us.

And the short, curly-haired vampire who seemed the most powerful of them all.

Break!

He quickly destroyed Faust's totem.

The mental curse was lifted, and the Awakened belatedly came to their senses.

but······.

-Ahhhhhhh!

There was no way to stop the screams from coming out.

The vampire reached us so fast that we could not even follow it with our eyes.

They tore off the Awakened's armor with their hook-like claws and skillfully sucked out their blood.

He was a much stronger man than Baron Bertholus, whom I had seen on Earth.

Unlike Earth, where hierarchy restrictions were imposed, here in Bereshti, monsters of any high rank could come and go freely.

Choaaaak!

Choaack!

The guy was gradually getting stronger.

It seems like they're trying to use us like potions.

As I was preparing to attack the guy who was gradually getting closer to Buendia······.

Kaaaaah!

“Ugh!”

Suddenly, black wings flew from the sky.

The short vampire staggered and took several steps back at the sudden attack.

It was three male vampires who had flown in from Bereshti Castle that attacked her.

“······.”

So, after a few seconds of silence.

The short female vampire opened her mouth and snickered.

“You came out bravely. I thought you’d only guard the corners of the house… So in the end, it’s just you guys? It seems like Princess Veronica is still suffering from the pain of separation?”

“You still have the audacity to spread such rumors. Viscount Broyer… Don’t worry, we can easily stop you with just our Bereshti forces!”

Kuuung!

The vampires of Bereshti kicked the ground.

He raised his wings and swung his fist, making a cracking sound between them.

Kwaaaaang!

Fist and fist clash as lightning flashes.

The three vampires swung their swords without stopping.

Taaang!

Taaaaang!

On the outside, he looked like any other vampire.

But as each attack clashed, one significant difference was discovered.

If the fists of the female vampire called Broyer were covered in drops of red blood, the fists of the vampires of Bereshti were covered in an orange liquid.

Choaaaah!

The broiler sprayed drops of blood in a circular motion.

The waves, which had been swung like a whip, scattered in a semicircle and soon poured down like needles.

Thump! Taaang!

The vampires of Bereshti struck with their fists, thrusting the rising stream of blood back into the ground.

Meanwhile, the air was a mess of red and orange.

After exchanging a few more sums like that······.

“······They seem like annoying guys.”

Flutter!

Broyer suddenly spread his wings and flew towards the Allied forces' main base.

It seemed that the shock from being struck by lightning still remained.

They tried to use Earthlings as potions, but even that didn't work out.

Now all that was left were us Earthlings, and the vampires of Bereshti.

“What the heck······.”

The Earthlings all had confused expressions on their faces.

He came to fight against Bereshti as part of the Allied Forces.

But the ones who actually attacked them were the vampires of the Allied Forces.

Rather, it was a situation where it was safe to say that Bereshti was protecting them.

of course······.

“Get out now. Before I kill you.”

But that was just an illusion.

The vampires approached with sharp angles,

The terrified Earthlings hastily retreated.

But I was still skeptical.

As members of the Allied Forces, we are clearly their enemies.

But the vampires of Bereshti were not only eager to kill us, but also to drive us out.

In this empty house where not a single person can be seen.

I realized the reason······.

“It seems like a magic stream flows down the valley of the village. Is that why?”

“······!”

“I see······. So the source of the essence was magic.”

It was none other than Buendia.

The voice was composed of black magic.

I secretly transmitted my voice only to the vampires, and as if it hit the nail on the head, the vampires just glared at us with surprised expressions.

I asked in a whisper.

“What are you talking about?”

“I told you that the vampires here don’t drink blood. They ingest a liquid called essence. Bereshti is a family under the command of the Veronica Duchess. They are in charge of producing essence for the entire Duchess’ forces. And the Veronica Duchess······.”

“What about the duke?”

“That’s where the princess is in the story <Tracking Mirror>.”

I felt a little bit bewildered.

A mirror that was accidentally taken out from the evidence storage room.

I never thought I would hear that story here.

“The water of the Magic Spring is a tricky substance. To use it as an ingredient, it needs to be purified by a high-level magician of the Arcane level. Perhaps the practical situation with Arcane has been misinterpreted as a love affair······ That’s what I think. So maybe······.”

The vampires were slowly approaching us.

I feel a bit uneasy listening to Buendia's words.

Facing them, Buendia added to me.

“What’s in the mirror… may not be the private life of the Count Wizard. Given the circumstances, it seems certain that Arcane betrayed Veronica….”

There was something in the mirror.

However, I was unable to play the video, as it required separate permissions.

If you are a princess looking for a mirror, you can open the video and see its true meaning.

“Whatever it is······ That princess or whatever vampire is looking for the mirror?”

“Yes. And very passionately.”

I couldn't know all the details.

But for now, just confirming each other's interests was enough.

If the princess needed a mirror, I needed reinforcements to fight the Allied Forces right now.

Swish!

He showed the inside of his coat to the vampires who had come fairly close.

As soon as they find a mirror, the vampires' pupils start to dilate to the point where they feel like they're going to pop out.

“Give me guidance.”

I added so.
