"There's no doubt about it. This is the site of an old fort.
Ann said after checking the structure.
The entrance hall is as wide as a hall. It was a waiting area for soldiers who had been relocated.

As in the ruins of Yada Village, there are still remnants of the warp gate on the floor at the back. However, only a small portion remains, and there is no hope of reproducing it.
It must have been destroyed when the fort was abandoned.
A passageway extends from there to the front. At the entrance to the passage is a hollow where a guard once stood, and there is now a golem there, but it has been destroyed by the Landtroopers and is not moving.

"There should be a staircase a short distance ahead.
The three of us followed Anne's lead.
True to Ann's words, they proceeded 20 meters until they came to a staircase that led to the upper and lower floors.

The basement leads to the armory and the upper floor to the command center. What should we do?
Anne turned around to ask for Reiko's decision. Just then, she heard footsteps coming up from downstairs.

Reiko braced herself for a moment, but when she sensed the magic pattern, she realized that it was from the RAND team, and let go of her hand on the hilt of her sword.
Rand 70 and 71 came up.
"This is my lady. The basement was an arsenal of broken golems and other useless magic tools. Sixty from Land 41 have joined us and we are continuing our investigation.

Hearing this report, Reiko decided to go up.
"Let's go up."
So she went upstairs with Land 70 and 71.

"Oh, there's someone ahead of us."
The door to the second floor corridor was open, and in the corridor were Rands 91 to 100, who had entered from the west.
"My lady, there are just some scavenger golems here. We've neutralized them all."

Land 100 reported to Reiko.
"Perhaps the equivalent of a command center is on the fourth floor.
Let's go." Anne urged. Reiko nodded her head and called out to Land 100 and the others.

"You guys continue to investigate this floor.
Reiko and the others go to the third floor.
The door to the third floor was opened, and Land 81 to 90 were there, investigating.

Reiko and the others left the investigation to Lando's team and went to the 4th floor.
The stairs ended there, and a sturdy-looking door blocked their way.
"We'll go first, my lady," Land 70 said.

Rand 70 said and pushed the door with 71. But it did not budge.
"I feel a can opener being lowered inside. What do we do?"
There are several ways to open it. That's what I asked.

That's when Jin called me. The substitute doll opens his mouth.
You are on the fourth floor, right?

"Yes, sir. What should we do about this door? Do we open it by force?
Jin gives the order through the mouth of the substitute puppet <
"Yes, Father."
Reiko replies, and puts her hand on her sword, but Land 70, who was standing in front of the door, slashes through the door with his own ultra-fast vibrating sword, the Vibration Sword.

Reiko is a little disappointed. Then a substitute doll comes to Reiko,
Since "Deus" means God, Jin also refrains from calling the doll "Machina," which means "machine," as a nickname for the substitute doll.
"Yes, Machina-sama."

The group then went through the door and stepped onto the fourth floor.
It was a relatively large hallway with a carpet.
"There is no doubt about it. At the end of the hall is the command center. This fort must have been manned by a very high-ranking commander."

Land 70 and 71 lead the line, <
There were several doors on the left and right, and we opened them to check inside, but there was nothing of particular interest.
Finally, only the front door remained.

"I'll open it."
Rand 70 and 71 pulled the door. This time the door had a puller.
Slowly the door opened. It did not seem to be secured with a bolt.

"Be careful."
Just as Anne was saying this, a few golden and silver shadows with spears jumped out of the door that was open enough for one person to pass through.
Several shadows of gold and silver with spears came out of the doorway, which was wide enough for one person to pass through. They were golems.

"I knew it!"
Reiko, who had been paying attention, immediately draws her Vibration Sword, and quickly slays the two Golems that attacked her.
Not many golems can keep up with Reiko's physical abilities, even if they don't know how to use a sword.

And Rand 70 and 71 also killed one each of the enemy golems.
Two gold ones and two silver ones. In total, four enemy golems rolled.
"Is this the end?"

Anne said as she defended Makina. Makina was the weakest of the group, followed by Anne.
"Perhaps it is."
With that answer, Rand 70 and 71 put their hands on the door again.

This time nothing jumped out and the door was opened.
"So this is it."
In the back in front of them sat an elderly man, with a golden and silver golem, the same as the one they had just defeated, standing on either side.

Another golem about two meters in height stood in front of Reiko and the others, avoiding the man's front.
"I am Donald, President of the Unified Party (Unifiler). You will be facing my masterpiece, Golem 457. Go!
With that voice, Golem 457 kicked the floor and attacked Anne.

Donald, the elder man, the current leader of the Unified Party (Unifiler), had seen Reiko's out-of-standardness through the magic screen, so he targeted Anne, who seemed to be the easiest to deal with.
Anne is certainly not very strong.
"Barrier".

However, she is quick enough to activate the guard ring given to her by Jin.
And the guard ring once blocked Reiko's 30 percent blow.
Golem 457's fist stopped 10 centimeters in front of Anne.

"What?
Land 70's super high-speed vibrating sword, the Vibration Sword, cleaved Golem 457's torso, which had stopped for a moment.
Even steel, hardened to the utmost limit, could not put up much of a fight against the Vibration Sword.

No. 457, divided into its upper and lower bodies, makes a heavy thud, and falls to the floor.
"Nah, nah, nah ...... my masterpiece is ......."
Donald turns pale. Makina called out to him.

Reiko remained silent and nodded her head in affirmation.
"Gunnun...... cheeky! Ancient technology cannot be defeated so easily! That's right! I'm not going to lose!

But Donald was on the verge of a half-crazed frenzy, unable to accept the facts before him.
Makina Jin, unable to bear the sight of Donald, gives him a command. Anne immediately released the barrier and fired a paralyzing shot at Donald.

"Ow!"
She then switches to shock once more, and fires it again.
Some people do not faint from the shocks, whether it is because of the wavelength of the shock or the waveform of the shock. Therefore, it is necessary to apply the shock twice to a person who is believed to be mentally manipulated.

As soon as Donald fainted, the gold and silver golems standing on either side of him attacked him, but were quickly defeated by Land 70 and 71.
"Well, I was wondering if there was a golden princess of destruction here, but I don't see her.
Reiko looked around the room.

"Oh? Lady, there is someone lying there.
Anne, who was looking around the room as well, found a person lying behind a tapestry hanging on the wall.
"Who is it?"

Anne, Reiko, and Makina go to the place where they found the person. Rand 70 and 71 are on the lookout.
It was an old man who had collapsed. Anne examined his injuries,
"His sternum is broken, but he seems to be still alive.

She diagnosed that he was still alive. Thinking that she might have some useful information, Makina-Hito decides to use the recovery medicine she had brought with her.
She applies it to the wound on his chest, and the old man seems to breathe a little easier. Then he makes the old man drink it by mouth.
The old man manages to swallow the recovery medicine. His breathing became more regular and his blood color came back.

Then the old man opened his eyes.
