Hiding A Logistics Center In The Apocalypse Chapter 200

Hiding the Logistics Center in the Apocalypse Chapter 200

Two Castles (1)

Thud thud.

Count Franco walked slowly.

Occasionally walking past a corpse, without the slightest hesitation.

He recalled the expression on his nephew Ludovico's face, whom he had just murdered.

A bewildered expression, full of doubt.

The guy's last words flashed through my mind.

-Master? Why on earth······.

The heir to the Franco family, Ludovico Franco, never found out.

Why, and why did he have to die by his own uncle, Count Franco?

The count spat out his words bitterly, with a snort.

“What would a guy with no skills and only his father’s blood know?”

Then, soon, he started to snicker, repeating, 'Bloodline, bloodline······.'

Because I remembered the blood type that I brought from the talent development center.

But the count quickly shook off the thought and continued walking.

Woohoo······.

A shadow loomed behind him.

His nephew's corpse, lifted up by telekinesis, was following him.

***

Hamiel, the Archangel of Florence, was tense.

There were several instances where Bereshti's liver was hit by a catapult.

Because the operation had finally been carried out.

“······I hope you did well, Adriel.”

It was not a typical operation.

While the angels of Florence indiscriminately charged, cutting off the rear support,

After all, it was a plan to kill the blue wizard who led them.

I just heard that a battalion was annihilated.

Hamiel waited secretly for further news.

As expected······.

“Your Majesty······Archangel.”

“Adriel!”

Adriel, his whole body covered in wounds, entered the tent.

The wings were half-singed and the legs were truncated.

That means the situation was that intense.

But Hamiel was impatient.

“Ludovico Franco······. What happened to that blue wizard?”

“······Dead.”

Hamiel smiled, but only for a moment.

Adriel continued speaking with a serious expression.

“It might not be a good thing.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It wasn’t Bereshti who killed the guy. It was the master of the Franco family… the Count who killed him.”

“······!”

“The Count had no intention of leaving any witnesses. I pretended to be dead and barely managed to escape.”

At the unexpected news, Hamiel clutched his forehead.

An ominous feeling of foreboding swirled through my head.

'Why is the Count here······?'

It's good to attract Arcane.

That was Hamiel's plan from the beginning.

But it had to be of his own accord.

Not Count Franco who suddenly appeared.

Flutter!

At that moment, a soldier hurried into the tent.

He fell face down towards Hamiel······.

“Archangel, an emergency meeting has been called.”

Things were moving faster than he expected.

.

.

.

Knock! Knock!

Flutter!

A regular gait with the hems of her robe fluttering.

The Arcane wizards stormed into the Allied camp.

The troops that the Franco family urgently approved were dispatched to Beresti.

Shoo······.

A pure white crown floated above it.

The coffin was covered with a white silk cloth bearing the Franco family crest.

The one who took the lead was none other than Count Franco, who personally appealed for his nephew's unjust death.

“Ludovico Essen Franco stood up against injustice! But injustice cowardly and viciously took the young hero’s life away. I swear on my Count Franco… I will hold Beresti and Buendía responsible for this crime, and the Duchess Veronica responsible for this!”

“Wow!”

The Arcane wizards shouted.

The other Allied soldiers were initially dumbfounded, but were moved by their solemnity and began to sing along with Arcane's chant.

Hamiel, heading to the emergency meeting, was confident.

That we had handed over the initiative of the Allied forces to Count Franco.

'Shit······.'

It was Hamiel's job to confirm the death of his nephew Franco.

They were trying to highlight the great battles of the Allied Forces and give Arcane some of the credit for it.

But in an instant, Arcane rose to become the strongest force in the Allied Forces, bringing in troops several times more than expected.

As if he had been waiting for this very moment.

'This is driving me crazy. What on earth is he thinking?'

One thing was clear, though.

The original goal of the Allied Forces was to destroy Bereshti's essence production facility.

But on the contrary, the Count was making a strange claim.

While exchanging shouts with the magician unit he leads.

“Bereshti has put the multidimensional world in danger with her wicked greed! Can she dare to repay that sin with her life?”

“No! No!”

“Spoils! Bereshti will have to take responsibility for their lands and properties! Especially the production facilities that were once given to them by Arcane as a promise of peace! They should be returned to Arcane, the true owner!”

“Wow!”

In short, occupy Bereshti, but do not destroy it.

In particular, Arcane will take over the essence production facility.

'Essence······. Was that your purpose, Count?'

Hamiel chewed his lips tightly.

It was not enough to kill the only heir to the family,

He could not read Count Franco's dark intentions.

***

Quagwagwa!

Kwaaaaang!

Attacks poured in from all sides.

The floor shook and sand fell from the ceiling.

The allied forces were joined by Arcane magicians, and soon the force, which had grown several times stronger, attacked the gates of Bereshti.

'I expected it, but······.'

I had a premonition when that blue wizard died.

That something worse than that guy would come in droves.

According to Count Bereshti's confirmation, there are over 600 people, excluding apprentices.

For Arcane, it seemed like the largest deployment in the past 100 years.

Of course, it wasn't just their power that increased.

Since Arcane's power is concentrated here in Bereshti, the Duchy of Veronica has become relatively safe.

-I'll go too! Just hold on a little longer!

These were the words of Princess Veronica.

He will soon arrive here in Beresht with his troops.

Until then, our role was to somehow block their attacks.

Even with the princess's arrival, it was questionable whether she would be able to defeat those wizards.

Shuhwaaaaah!

Taaaaang!

My portal carried items without rest.

The wedge bomb loaded into the subspace was the object, and the advancing Allied forces were its destination.

I set the portal to <auto-ship> as much as possible and then checked out their base.

Right on the site of the central headquarters that was under construction.

Woohoo······.

A huge central headquarters, resembling a flying saucer, rose into the air.

Light poured out from each of the divided sections of the border.

However, it was not yet finished, as only half of the eight were turned on.

Buendia, who was watching the battlefield from the side, said.

“It looks like the exoskeleton is complete. The internal functions are still under construction, but······. I think it’ll be more than enough to be used in combat.”

The Chamber of Commerce's facilities boasted powerful defensive capabilities.

Even that central headquarters is a facility that can even fly through the air.

In other words······.

'······It's like a flying bunker.'

The number of troops inside was also considerable.

Because a lot of Arcane wizards went inside there.

A solid flying bunker that flies in the sky.

Just thinking about the hidden wizards firing off a variety of magic spells made my head hurt.

That wasn't all.

Once the internal construction is complete, it will have a large-scale area-wide buff as well as a fraud-level 'preemptive strike' that can detect awakening abilities.

Of course, you can use the 'free ticket' to put it straight into subspace······.

'······Not yet.'

What I wanted was a completed central headquarters.

Not one of those half-assed flying saucers with only a complete exoskeleton.

Of course, to do that, the remaining battles had to be fought busily, fiercely, and precisely.

And, as a reminder of that fact······.

-Emergency! Emergency! The main gate's outer wall has been breached! Get behind the electromagnetic gun!

-But all of them······!

Bereshti's vampire soldiers shouted.

The outer wall surrounding the main gate fell in an instant.

I asked Count Bereshti, who was in the middle of commanding the battle.

“Why is it suddenly so obvious?”

“It’s because of Arcane…! The electromagnetic gun wasn’t our Bereshti’s invention in the first place. It was something that Count Franco gave as a peace gift when he tried to persuade Duchess Veronica. Since it was something they designed… they must know how to destroy it.”

The Arcane wizards came forward with shields.

What they brought was another type of cannon, one that was producing a lot of steam.

But unlike the pointed electromagnetic bubbles, its ends flared out into a trumpet shape.

The electromagnetic gun fired blue lightning at them, but······.

Phajijijik!

Woof-woof-woof.

Blue lightning connected the electromagnetic bubble and the trumpet-shaped machine.

The machine absorbed the electricity without any problems······.

Crack! Crack!

Instead, what burst out was an electromagnetic bubble.

<Shopaholic> managed to steal a few 'trumpet machines', but it was in vain.

Because in the first place, the balance was almost empty due to sucking up the catapult.

-Wow!

The cheers of the Allied forces poured out.

The six installed electromagnetic guns were completely destroyed, and the troops that had rushed into the defenses pounded on the inner gate.

'Let's think about it······.'

I quickly rolled my head.

Should we take over the unfinished central headquarters even now?

Or, even if it means giving up Bereshti Castle right now, you will get a completed central headquarters.

Ultimately, my decision was······.

'······If something happens, I'll lose my temper.'

Even if it meant giving up flesh, it was important to take the bones properly.

It was unfortunate for the princess and the count, but it was a better choice to obtain a completed central headquarters even if it meant giving up Bereshti.

They would have liked to protect Bereshti's essence factory somehow, but they had already found an alternative method.

'Nothing will change anyway.'

Even if we took away that flying saucer right away, we wouldn't be able to defend the castle.

The central headquarters is now just floating, slowly approaching.

Bereshti's defense line was already helplessly collapsing with just Arcane's 'Trumpet Machine'.

The Allied forces knocked on the gate.

CLANG!

CLANG!

Swish! Swish!

The gate slowly splits apart, unable to withstand the force.

Now that that gate is breached, the Allied forces will enter the castle.

Since all the defensive measures are concentrated on the outer wall, even the Essence Factory can be approached without any obstacles.

Of course, that wasn't the end.

While they were busy taking over Bereshti, I was engaged in another hidden 'siege'.

Swaaaaaaah!

All the portals that were spewing out wedge bullets were recovered.

Then, they placed the Rodolfo catapults they had captured from the Allied forces on top of the walls.

Squeak!

Taaaaang!

The catapult that was shipped immediately threw objects without any special preparation.

It was a state where bullets were loaded in advance and were ready to be fired.

The anti-magic bullet fired from the catapult flew into the sky······.

Taaaaang!

It struck a flying saucer that was slowly flying towards us.

The power output of a flying saucer is none other than horsepower.

The central headquarters, with one side of its output turned off, staggered for a moment, then quickly regained its strength and resumed its movements.

Even though I was hit by anti-magic bullets one after another, I continued to advance steadily······.

'I'll become a tin can.'

The interior construction of the central headquarters was continuing.

Suddenly, out of the eight squares, five were lit up.

Once the remaining three were filled, the central headquarters would be completed and the terrifying 'preemptive strike' would begin.

My goal was to tinker with the guy in advance.

In a soft bite that can be devoured in subspace.

“It tastes good.”

Taaang!

Taang!

I continued to pour out anti-magic bullets.
