Reiko, please.

Yes, sir!

Condor 1, Titan 2, we are go!

Condor 1 floats into the sky with Titan 2 piloted by Reiko. They headed straight for the huge warp gate that had been built on the land behind the institute on the side of Mount Horai.

"I'll take command from here, right?"

Jin headed for the command center inside the institute.

Your Majesty, Your Highness, this way!

On the third floor of Asunto Castle, a fierce battle is raging.

Three golems advance on the royal family.

The Kingsguard and the Kingsguard Magic Knights are rushing to defend against them.

Lotte is protecting the prince with a tray in her hand and a mop on her back.

"<>!"

Aili Solyus of the Kingsguard is holding off the approaching golem with a series of wind-based magic attacks.

In the room, fire and lightning spells have an effect on their allies, so they use wind magic more frequently. However, it is a fact that wind magic is not so effective against golems.

The only effective magic against a massive golem is the wind blow, which can only hold it at bay.

Outside the castle, half of the soldiers were busy dealing with an attack from a flying ball.

"Lila, help me!

Iri's breathing is ragged from the continuous wind blows.

Her colleagues attacked with wind bullets, but they were clearly not powerful enough.

"But, but, sister, I ......"

"Just do it!　Don't talk nonsense, just do it!　This is the time to do it!"

Prince Ernest calls out from behind Laila, who is still hesitating.

"Lila, please. I and my father can't use powerful offensive magic. I know it's not very considerate of me to rely on you, a girl..."

"Your Highness ......"

I can't stay in the house with the prince talking like that. Laila, her heart stirred, stepped forward.

Before dawn.

Just before dawn. It is still early in the day, and darkness has fallen.

Lake Asur, a huge lake located on the border between the Kingdoms of Selroa and Franz. Its length is over 100 kilometers and its maximum depth is about 300 meters. Artificial structures emerge from its depths.

It is a spherical structure with a diameter of 70 meters.

As soon as it rises to the surface, its huge upper dome opens. At the center of the dome sits another huge warp gate.

The warp gate is activated. A huge golem and an aircraft carrying the golem are transferred there.

"Father, we have arrived at Lake Asur as planned. We are now on our way to Tetrada.

The distance from the center of Lake Asur to Tetrada in the Kingdom of Klein is about 120 km. Condor 1 with Titan 2 on board has a top speed of about 100 kilometers per hour, which should get us there in a little over an hour.

The Raptor and Falcon teams will arrive at about the same time.

On the walls of the Tetrada, a deadly battle was raging.

On one side, the 3rd Knights of the Kingdom of Klein are fighting to defend the Tetrada to the death. On the other side are the golems sent by a mysterious force.

"<>!"

The mages of the Knights check them with magic, but the two mysterious golems are easily blocked by the small shields on their left.

"d*mn, an anti-magic shield!

We are on the castle wall, and it will take a few more minutes for the knights of magic to come rushing in. If they can get one of the two to the gate in the meantime, they will lose.

"Charge!　Stop the golem at all costs!

shouted Niklas Faalheit, the second-in-command. The five knights charge in as ordered. But...

"Aaah!

Aah!

Aah!

All five knights were thrown to the ground by the magical thunderbolt released from the flying ball.

No, no!

One of the golems took advantage of the opportunity and attached itself to the stairs leading down from the castle wall.

"d*mn!　<

As a last resort, Niklas unleashed the greatest fire magic he could muster. His target was not the golem, but the stairs.

The stone staircase was shattered by the Flame Lance.

The golem, however heavy it was, could not jump down from the eight-meter-high walls, he thought.

However, their calculations were wrong. The lifeless golem made its huge body dance and jumped down.

At eight meters, a human being would never have made it to such a height.

There was a roar, and the stones of the cobblestone pavement shattered and scattered. The golem got up, though its lower half of its body was distorted. But its ankles are broken and its knees are bent in strange directions. It is obvious to all that it will never be able to move properly again.

But the golem's job is to open the gates. A single magical blow will suffice.

"Men below!　Keep that golem away from the gate!"

Niklas shouts as loud as he can. The ten soldiers guarding the gate pointed their weapons at the golem.

"Aaah!"

"Aah!"

If they look down, magic attacks are fired from the sky. If you turn your attention to the sky, the other golem remaining on the castle wall will attack you.

"d*mn, an attack from the sky could be so nasty!

Perhaps no one had ever thought of an attack from the sky before. Niklas had experienced it firsthand.

With the help of the air support, the golem reaches the gate, dragging its body. He points his safe right hand at the gate and casts a spell.

It was the same Flame Lance that Niklas had fired. But the power was far more powerful.

Flames ten times stronger than Niklas's Flame Lance struck the gate.

Bronze tinsels and iron hinges were blown off.

And the gate slowly collapsed outward.

It meant the defeat of the fortified city of Tetrada.

Strial, a city in the Kingdom of Egelea. There, the Duke of Bruu and Count Kuzma had come with a large force. They were there to defend the capital city of Asunto.

The Bluerands had left Count Galana in charge.

"Your late father fought against the Kingdom of Cerroa. Then I will fight for my country as well!"

The worried face of his fiancée, Bina, comes to mind, but Count Kuzma has put aside his personal feelings and joined the war in the face of a national crisis.

"Tomorrow night we will reach Asund."

Duke Blou muttered to himself as he prepared to leave.

Count Kuzma looked up at the sky, and his eyes were glazed over when he felt something moving in front of the sun.

"What is it?"

It was not a bird, but something. It was flying in a mass high in the sky. It was headed for the capital city of Asunto.

But strangely enough, I did not have an ominous feeling.

The gates have been opened!

The gates are open!

"Okay, 1st and 2nd squadrons, go to ......."

Just as Franz's army was about to begin its attack.

A huge shadow blocked the sun.

Looking up, you see a strange object floating.

Four rings are arranged in a square, and from the structure connecting them in a crisscross pattern, two ropes hang down to support the planks. And on the sideboard was a gigantic golem, the likes of which had never been seen before.

The giant golem, mounted on the strange flying object that slowly descended, has now landed in a position to stare at both the Franzian army and the city of Tetrada.
