Hiding a Logistics Center in the Apocalypse – Part 24
(Knights of Camelot (1))
The identity of Camelot Castle,
And now that I know the purpose of the King of Knights, I have nothing to be afraid of anymore.
A reward from level 3 that was saved.
As a reward, I chose this Camelot.
Camelot.
It is a truly vicious thing that creates resources at the cost of life…
'That's the kind of feature you can just ignore if you don't use it.'
If this castle was indeed some kind of 'item' as he said, then I, as its new owner, could use it as I wish.
Even if there is some kind of connection with the King of Knights, the energy from the outside will be blocked through the portal.
It was clear that Camelot could be taken away from the King of Knights.
Kukuku···
There was a vibration.
“Ugh···!”
The ripe knight king's kimchi jar, Camelot.
Savoring the sweet and sour taste, I endured the excruciating pain that came for a moment.
Meanwhile, the King of Knights was looking around in confusion, feeling an ominous feeling of unknown origin.
And then, not long after, when I opened my eyes.
Hwaaaaak!
We faced the brilliant noonday sun.
A city filled with light.
The city that had cast off the dark shadow of Camelot was surrounding us.
The King of Knights looked at the scenery with empty eyes.
“That’s ridiculous······”
The hideous kimchi crock that had surrounded the middle of Seoul was removed.
No, I swallowed it whole.
The guy started going crazy.
It seemed as if he had realized that ownership itself had disappeared from him.
“My Camelot! My Camelot, which I bought by burning all my wealth!”
The red cloak fluttered as if mocking the bastard's roar.
The pouring sun was like the dawn light in the casino, waking up the exhausted gamblers.
“How dare you, a lowly 9th-rank slave! Right now…”
Sreung!
The King of Knights drew his sword and rushed at me, but…
Kaang!
Someone stopped the attack.
A strange back wrapped in silver armor.
The blue cloth attached to the helmet ran down the large, wide back.
The King of Knights let out a panicked voice.
“······Lancelot?”
“How insolent. Show respect to the master of Camelot.”
Lancelot, the skeleton knight who followed the orders of the King of Knights.
He now serves me as his master.
It was proof that ownership of Camelot had passed entirely to me.
“Lancelot! You ungrateful brat!”
Kaaaaang!
Although it was an attack by the so-called 'King of Knights', strangely enough, it was no match for Lancelot.
Lancelot asked me as they exchanged swords leisurely.
“My lord, please give me an order on how to deal with this man.”
“···Kill him.”
The plan of the bastard to put innocent people in a jar and eat them came to mind.
That it was meant to be my fortune.
There was no reason to spare him.
“Your name.”
Lancelot answered,
Whirl!
The King of Knights' head was immediately blown off.
Crispy!
Again Lancelot stomped on the bastard's spine.
To destroy the center of regeneration.
Lancelot, who killed his former master in an instant…
Crunch!
He knelt before me, holding the loot he had taken from the bastard's body.
From resolving the situation to dealing with the culprit.
It was the moment when all the events came to a close.

When I actually received the loot, I couldn't hide my feelings of regret.
“···Is this all?”
Despite his title as the 'King of Knights', Lancelot only had a single yellow-tinged strengthening stone in his hand.
Then Pax spoke to me.
[Mr. Jeonggyeom, I have something to tell you.]
[Currently, the dimensional account is open.]
“···Dimensional account?”
[The Knight King's Dimensional Account has been transferred to Lancelot.]
[In addition, the owner of Lancelot has been confirmed to be Jeong-gyeom, and Jeong-gyeom has been finally confirmed as the owner of the dimensional account.]
“What is that···?”
Pax continued his story calmly, like a lawyer announcing the death of a distant relative.
As if there was still something I wanted to receive.
[The Dimensional Account was originally a feature that was to be opened later through the Awakening System, but has now been opened early due to a transfer of ownership.]
[Would you like to check your account details?]
The situation was like this.
What my grandfather, the King of Knights, passed down to me…
It wasn't just the desolate castle of Camelot.
“···How much is in it?”
I didn't know.
Grandfather Knight, who handed over the business item to me.
[There are 3,086 magic stones.]
Who would have thought he would leave behind business funds?
***
First, I returned to the subspace with Lancelot.
It was to check out the newly arrived Camelot.
“···I hope it doesn’t get mixed up with the original space.”
I got Camelot, but I wasn't too fond of it.
Not only was its size unnecessarily large, but its ominous function of human sacrifice was also extremely unsettling.
I looked around the windows of the logistics center.
The newly built Camelot Castle will fill the background.
but···
“Where is it?”
No matter how much I looked around, I couldn't see anything like a castle wall.
At that moment, Lancelot, who had come in with them, picked up something that had fallen on the floor.
A crown of dark gray color and dull appearance.
Clearly, it was Camelot.
Lancelot said.
“This is the original size of Camelot. However, you can install it in any size you wish, my lord.”
“Ah… was that it?”
Only then was I able to check the information on the item 'Camelot'.
—-
[Camelot]
Grade: [Unique]
Description: [The Palace of the Cursed Knights. It can be installed in any size you want, and installation costs are proportional to the size.]

[Summon Ghost]
-Can summon the ghosts of Camelot.
[Article Appointment]
-You can appoint a ghost as a skeleton knight. The associated cost will be incurred.
—-
[Blood Sacrifice] through setting the size of Camelot.
It was an item that surprisingly had strategic uses.
Either make it small and aim for a small profit, or make it big and aim for a big hit.
In other words···
“The King of Knights was full of greed···”
“Yes.”
The majestic size that covered Seoul was proportional to the greed of the King of Knights.
But even that wasn't free.
“The bigger it is, the more magic stones it costs?”
“Yes.”
“How much did you hear about the knight king who built it?”
“I don’t know for sure, but I’m sure we used tens of thousands.”
A huge amount of money.
Indeed, the King of Knights' words that he had emptied all his wealth were not an exaggeration.
“It doesn’t have to be particularly big. It’ll just be uncomfortable.”
It is true that I am greedy for the reinforcement stone, but I cannot gather a bunch of people and offer them up like the King of Knights.
Moreover, according to Lancelot, it is entirely possible to collect it later and reinstall it.
Although it will cost a new fee each time you install it.
Of course, the current crown size was not enough.
It's true that there are new residents in the subspace.
He asked Lancelot.
“How much do you have to spend to live comfortably?”
“Ah… For that size, about 300 should be enough.”
Lancelot, now my subordinate.
Moreover, Camelot even included 'ghosts' who had not yet been appointed knights.
It wouldn't be a problem for his older sisters or Lee Yong-soo, but if his wife Oh Ji-soo or daughter Yoo-jung saw it, they would definitely be upset.
So, I planned to arrange Camelot as a kind of ghost house attached to a subspace.
“Okay. Then let’s leave it at that.”
The location was next to the guard post of the National Intelligence Service.
It is not directly connected to the logistics center, but is close in terms of distance.
Although the two older sisters and Yongsu Lee were bewildered by the fact that we had left the castle, they gladly attended the completion ceremony upon hearing the news that a new building was being built.
Following Lancelot's instructions, he scattered 300 magic stones on the floor and placed a Camelot the size of a crown on top of them.
Slowly.
Camelot, which was slowly moving like a living thing…
Pitter-patter!
He began to devour the magic stone greedily.
And then it disappeared into the ground…
Ddddddd···
Soon, walls began to grow from below.
Perhaps because he was much smaller than when he was the King of Knights, he grew much faster.
Kookookookook.
Camelot Castle was completed in no time.
The castle I built was neither an old-fashioned European castle nor a toy-like miniature castle.
It's about the size of a small villa.
It's like···
“···It’s like a motel.”
“It’s a motel.”
Everyone spoke in unison.
A strange, cheap feeling was hanging over Camelot Castle.
one side···
“How can we take this castle while leaving our lord behind?”
“No, you guys use it···”
“My lord!”
Lancelot jumped.
It had been a while since he had offered Camelot as a dwelling place for Lancelot and his ghosts.
A life-devouring castle.
Honestly, I didn't even want to get close.
“The lord must take the throne···!”
Lancelot was clueless.
***
It wasn't just the second oldest sister, Kim Sol, who was trapped in Camelot.
There were also innocent civilians and some soldiers who had been dispatched by the Joint Chiefs of Staff for reconnaissance purposes but were isolated during the mission.
Everyone welcomed the return of the sun and cheered as they watched the monsters crumble in its light.
Faith in public authority still remained.
Isolated soldiers from the Joint Chiefs of Staff controlled the people and briefly explained the current situation, the government's response, and the recruitment of Awakened.
“Take it.”
In addition, he shipped me one P999K communicator.
By all means, it would be helpful to be able to contact headquarters in order to control the citizens here.
The officer who received the communicator saluted with a puzzled expression.
There is nothing they would be more grateful for right now.
Now it was time to set off.
Now that the Knight King's castle has been destroyed, the next destination is the eldest brother's newlywed home.
The location is Banghak-dong, Dobong-gu.
It was located not too far from Uijeongbu, where my parents lived.
As I was about to load the new helicopter and start moving, the officer who had just received the communicator came running towards me.
“···I think you should take a look for a moment. This is the Chief of Operations.”
I got a call.
.
.
.
What Operations Headquarters Chief Yoo Seong-cheol told me was news from the 1st Corps.
To be exact···
“The 220th Infantry Brigade was attached to the 1st Corps.”
220th Infantry Brigade.
According to Yoo Seong-cheol, the unit was in charge of Dobong-gu, where I was headed, as well as Seongbuk-gu and Gangbuk-gu, which I had to pass through on the way.
Originally, it was a unit that focused on forming a reserve force, and its combat power itself was not that great, but···
“It seems like they are receiving support equipment from the 1st Corps. Even the air defense base in Bukhansan has been taken over by them.”
In short, Yoo Seong-cheol's conclusion was simple.
“You shouldn’t go over by helicopter. You’ll definitely be intercepted midway. Even if you do go, you’ll have to take a long detour. In fact, it’s hard for the units in Namyangju to know the situation, so I can’t even recommend that…”
He had been contacting me because he was worried that the helicopter I was on might be attacked by an air defense base.
I asked.
“How many troops do they have?”
“I’m sorry. I have no idea. Since we can’t use satellite information right now… even the reconnaissance planes and drones we send out are being shot down every time.”
Yoo Seong-cheol was predicting our fate and the helicopter we would be riding from that drone.
He added meaningfully.
“There’s definitely something going on over there. They’re pretty obsessively trying to prevent reconnaissance. If you get even a little bit closer by land, you’re going to get shot straight away.”
"···okay"
I had a feeling they were hiding something.
It wasn't good news.
Of course, it meant that I had to go that way, and that my older brother and sister-in-law and my parents could be in danger.
They may be better than monsters, but they are the ones who stage a coup in these times.
Anything could have happened.
Of course, it would have been possible to take a detour towards Namyangju as he said, but I didn't want to be interrupted in my search for my family any longer.
This was especially true when the situation was critical.
He answered Yoo Seong-cheol.
"it's okay."
“Mr. Jeonggyeom···?”
“I’ll take a look and see. I think there’s something better than a drone.”
I was looking into the functions of Camelot in subspace.
And Camelot was also equipped with some amazing reconnaissance aircraft.
“Of course, it won’t be able to intercept ghosts.”
Ghosts of Camelot.
It was time to use them.
