Hiding A Logistics Center In The Apocalypse Chapter 201

Hiding the Logistics Center in the Apocalypse Chapter 201

Two Castles (2)

Swoosh!

A semi-magic bullet that decorates the sky.

But the offensive did not last long.

"hmm······."

Kwaaaaang!

A counterattack followed immediately.

The enemy was none other than hundreds of wizards,

For them, who were born ranged dealers, the catapults hanging precariously on the walls were just attractive prey.

Crispy!

All the catapults that had been erected were destroyed.

After this was repeated six times, the wall was now on the verge of collapse.

“There’s nothing we can do. Let’s step back for now.”

I quickly retreated with Buendia and Count Bereshti.

The retreat location is the square behind the inner castle of Count Bereshti.

It was a place where the people of the territory were evacuated before the battle.

In the meantime······.

Taaaaaang!

Whew-! Whew!

All kinds of magic flew in.

A blaze broke out in the cracks in the wall and poured down on it.

Soon, the lightning that flew in continued like a chain, creating cracks in the sturdy wall.

Not long after······.

Pfft …

-It's open! Everyone, come in!

Finally, the main gate of Bereshti was breached.

.

.

.

As the Allied forces stormed the castle.

We arrived at Bereshti Square, behind the castle walls.

"shipment."

Rattling! Rattling!

I immediately placed over a hundred catapults.

Then, he asked Count Bereshti to mobilize the vampires that had retreated with him.

slam!

Shhhhh!

The catapult is back in action.

The target was a flying saucer in the sky that was slowly approaching.

The ground forces that had rushed in were a problem, but the most urgent task was to block their access to the central headquarters.

'······They said there were hundreds of wizards.'

Even with just the magicians included in the ground forces, the situation is difficult.

If the flying bunker carrying the wizards joins, this square will become a battlefield.

The people of Yeongji had to guard, of course, but above all, the installed catapults.

In order to get my hands on the soon-to-be-completed central headquarters, I had to feed them anti-magic bullets without stopping.

slam!

Wedge!

That's right, while the vampires were keeping the central headquarters in check.

I used my shipping skills to deal with the Allied forces approaching from close range.

Since the anti-magic bullets were also effective against magicians who cast spells, I regularly mixed wedge bullets and anti-magic bullets to effectively block the enemy's advance.

but······.

“We’re being pushed back steadily. The factory area has long since been given up. If we use the wall connected to the inner city to narrow the defensive line, we can buy some time······.”

Count Bereshti said.

For now, it was just a waste of time.

It was impossible for me to hold back the Allied Forces that were coming from all directions on my own, and the central headquarters floating in the sky was also advancing steadily while enduring a barrage of anti-magic bullets.

And around this time······.

Flutter!

“Your Majesty!”

Princess Veronica arrived in Beresht.

Her wings were unusually long and wide.

The dark shadow that had been cast over her face soon folded up and wrapped itself around Princess Veronica's thin back like a cloak.

But her face was actually deep in thought.

While flying here, it seems that he saw with his own eyes that Bereshti had fallen.

Although the plaza still remained, the main area, including the factory area, had already fallen into Allied hands.

“The production facility······.”

The princess lowered her head.

She desperately tried to protect the essence production facility.

Perhaps more important than the Bereshti estate itself was its essence.

“······.”

The princess stood there blankly for a long time with her eyes tightly shut.

Then, as if his thoughts had come to a close, he spoke to the Count.

“······Gather your troops. We will retreat to the Duke’s territory.”

“Your Majesty······.”

The princess came straight towards me, bowed her head, and continued speaking.

“Mr. Jeonggyeom, can you help the people of Yeongji evacuate through the portal? This is the result, but······ I will definitely thank you as soon as I return to the Duke’s territory.”

She seemed ready to accept the outcome of this war.

Since we have already lost our production facilities, further fighting will only result in unnecessary sacrifices.

Her decision was to give up Bereshti and focus on finding the Holy Blood, but······.

“Not yet.”

"yes?"

The central headquarters of the Allied forces still remained.

Now, it would be a shame if the vampires operating the catapults were left out.

Above all, there was a certain calculation behind giving up the factory area.

Because Bereshti's production facilities are now virtually unnecessary.

Jiing!

I opened a portal towards the dumb princess.

Another vampire trudging out from it.

he is······.

“Essence, we produce it.”

It was a blood sword that received the essence from Count Franco.

.

.

.

It was Count Bereshti who transfused true blood into Hyeolgyeom.

Because it required advanced technology to consume the human blood that was already flowing.

If mixing new blood was this difficult, extracting the essence that was already mixed was a craft that went beyond technology.

That's why······.

“So you were waiting for me?”

“Yes, the Count said it would be possible if you were the Princess.”

It was beyond Count Bereshti's ability.

However, I judged that it was possible if it was a blood magic passed down from the Duke's family.

Originally, it was an ability used to remove impurities mixed in blood.

“One drop. Just one drop.”

That was enough.

I didn't have a production facility, but I had an infinite warehouse.

If you put a finished product on the shelf even once, it would be possible to replicate it infinitely, creating a lake of essence.

'Fortunately, it wasn't that difficult to get the blood clot out.'

Count Franco had no time to keep an eye on the Bloodthirsty.

With Hyeol-gyeom in the central headquarters, they will be concentrating on taking control of the Allied Forces.

Thanks to that, Hyeolgyeom was able to return to us through <Product Recovery> without any difficulties.

“Let’s get started.”

Hyeolgyeom extended his arm towards the princess.

She looked taken aback by the unexpected strategy, but she had no time to remain silent.

Because right now, the Allied Forces and magicians were swarming from both the ground and the air.

She also nodded, perhaps aware of the situation.

“······It stings.”

A familiar comment.

When the princess raised her index finger, her nail grew sharp like a needle.

She grabbed Hyeol-gyeom's arm, drew out the blood, and stabbed him deeply into the thick vein.

LOL.

LOL.

Bright red blood spurted from his arm.

Blood that is slightly orange due to the essence being mixed in.

The princess used her blood magic to gather the rising blood flow and return it to the veins.

After circulating the blood like that several times······.

“It’s just one drop······. Are you really sure this is okay?”

"sure."

Clear orange droplets formed at the tips of the princess's fingernails.

A liquid with a much clearer and more vivid color than what we had seen before.

It was the very completed version of the essence that Count Franco had given to Hyeol-Gyeom.

“Pax, buy it.”

Tiring!

[All right.]

I used <Shopaholic> to get the essence.

Because of the battle, there wasn't much magic stone available······.

'Because it's just one drop.'

I could barely afford a drop of essence.

.

.

.

Kwaaaaang!

There was an explosion.

Allied forces rushed in through the rising smoke.

And that wasn't all.

-Blood, damage!

Phew!

Because the Arcane wizards are starting to target catapults again.

It seemed that they had noticed that we were persistently targeting the central headquarters.

Allied forces with their weapons at the forefront and magicians casting attack spells appeared one after another.

but······.

"shipment."

Choaaaaaaah!

Eight portals poured out streams of water.

A splendid orange light scattering across the sky and a rainbow spreading out above it.

Even though the vampires of Bereshti had already been fed their fill of essence, sprinkling it like this was enough to grant them excellent buff effects.

in result,

“I can’t stand it anymore!”

“Hee······The power explodes!”

Boom!

Muscle strength and stamina that are several times stronger than before.

The vampires of Bereshti rushed towards the Allied forces, their veins pulsing.

It wasn't just simple physical strengthening.

The essence scattered everywhere could also be used as a substitute for blood.

High-ranking vampires, including Count Bereshti, gathered essence from the surroundings, and the essence thus gathered sometimes served as a means of attack and sometimes as a means of defense.

-Ma, magic doesn't work!

-Again! Do it again!

Fire, water, electricity, etc.

The wizards poured all their attribute magic into it, but it didn't work on the essence.

High-level magic that has undergone complex casting only has a slight effect.

But even that wasn't enough to defeat the strengthened vampires of Bereshti.

And even in the midst of all that······.

slam!

slam!

Wheaaaaaaaaa!

The hundred or so catapults kept spinning without stopping.

The central headquarters was constantly hit by anti-magic bullets as it approached, but the last one of the eight was briefly blinking, indicating that it was nearing completion.

Now that the distance is close enough, we can just accept them into the subspace as soon as all the spaces are filled.

With the catapults and vampires doing all the work, it was entirely possible.

But then······.

"uh?"

Whew.

Kugugugugugugugu!

The flying saucer landed low on the ground.

Then it accelerated rapidly and soared high into the sky.

It was an extremely risky move that could have landed him on the ground, but thanks to it, he was able to avoid all the incoming artillery fire and soar into the sky.

In other words······.

'······shit.'

This means that the 'preemptive strike' system will be activated as soon as it is completed.

However, the central headquarters had already flown high enough that it could not be hit by ground-based catapults.

At that moment, while I was stamping my feet like that,

“Get in!”

"yes?"

Choaaaak!

Princess Veronica spread her wings.

And before I could even answer, he grabbed me and flew into the sky.

Wheaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

A strong wind blew as if it were going to tear my skin.

In the meantime, small attack spells fired by the magicians of the central headquarters flew in.

Whirlyrick!

Whirl!

While the princess flapped her wings to ward off their attacks, I also quickly gathered my thoughts.

'······I have no choice but to do it myself.'

The eighth square, blinking faster and faster as it nears completion.

The only way left was for me to pour out the anti-magic bullets myself, without resorting to the power of the catapult.

Avoid the attacks of the flying wizards by getting close enough.

Wheaaaaaaaaa!

Fortunately, the princess's flight was several times faster than the central headquarters.

After a perilous ten-minute flight, we managed to get high above them.

“Phew······. Phew······.”

The air was thin and it was hard to breathe.

I held my breath and pointed to the princess where to land.

As soon as the internal construction of the central headquarters is completed, the defense system, including the preemptive strike, will be activated.

To hit a player, it was necessary to hit all positions evenly.

Flutter!

The princess folded her wings.

Gliding down onto a flying saucer.

This time too, all sorts of interception spells flew in, but this time I responded by firing an anti-magic bullet.

Kyaaaaang!

“Ugh!”

The princess bit her teeth.

Her two legs, which had landed with difficulty, crushed the iron floor.

The eighth light flashes like crazy.

I deployed my skills right away.

“Warehouse clearance.”

A pointed pillar protruded from the center of the round body of the central headquarters.

The iron pipes crossed, hinged, and had a flat shelf mounted on top.

Tarrrrrrrrr!

Tadadadadak!

The item is, of course, a half-magic bullet.

Bullets of brilliant blue light quickly filled the shelves.

and······.

"emission."

Peeing!

Phew!

Wheaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Anti-magic bullets scattered in all directions.

It spread out in a circular, periodic wave-like pattern.

Beep!

At the same time, all the lights in the central headquarters came on.

The 'preemptive strike system' is finally operational.

The first thing they dug into was the warehouse I had set up.

Wood crack!

Woohoo!

The shelf was instantly crumpled.

The central pillar that held the center was misaligned,

The warehouses were twisted and folded one after another like paper.

but······.

“It’s all sold out already.”

I was faster.

Because the warehouse had already been empty of all its inventory long ago.

The anti-magic bullets fired in one go hovered over the round central headquarters for a moment.

and······.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

It fell in one fell swoop, instantly disabling the central headquarters.

Enough to turn off all eight lights indicating completion.

The next thing was as per the set order.

“Pax, put it in.”

Tiring!

[All right.]

The central headquarters disappeared from the sky without a trace.

and······.

-What? What happened?

-Hey, save me······!

The Allied troops and Arcane wizards inside screamed.

Because it was like I was thrown into the sky in an instant.

The princess quickly spread her wings and caught me, but······.

-AAAAAHHHHH!

Free fall began with screams all around.
