Mega-ants!
They looked like the mega-ant monsters rarely seen in the mines.
However, the size of the ant was far beyond that of a mega-ant.

Mega-ants are at most 30 centimeters long. But this monster was nearly 2 meters long.
"Whoa!
comes a shriek. A soldier of the Frontier Guards of the Kingdom of Celuloa, who had been cut down in a panic, was sprayed with something by the monster.

"Aaagh! Aaah!"
The soldier is sprawled out. White smoke is rising from his face, hands, and body.
It seems he was sprayed with some kind of acid. The sword he was holding is almost melted.

"Golem! Attack the monster!"
Tristo Clarotho, seeing this one as more of a threat than the Egelea Golem, gives the order again. And so did Paule Raid.
"Attack the monster! Knights, fall back 30 meters!"

Trist, finding the liquid spewed by the mega-ant to be too much to resist, moves the human troopers away from the battlefield.
"Geez! Ow! Ow!
"Ow! My arm! My arm!

But the soldiers of the Frontier Corps of the Kingdom of Celuloa were too late to escape as their backs were rushed into.
Those who were exposed to the liquid spewed by the giant ants were burned to a crisp, and they were flailing about.
Neither leather armor nor metal breastplates could resist the liquid, and they were melted away.

And the fallen soldiers are doomed to be devoured by mega-ants.
The soldier's body is gouged out and bones are crushed as he is devoured.
Even the knights of the Kingdom of Egelea felt pity for their opponents, even though they had just met them.

"Golem! Do something!"
Trist exclaimed.
Finally, the battle golem succeeded in taking down a mega-ant.

To my surprise, the dead mega-ant was swarmed by 5 or 6 mega-ants, and they were eating the corpses of their comrades.
"They even ...... cannibalize each other. ...... They are evil eaters."
Even Trist shuddered.

The series of events were again being monitored by the Magi Monitor in the Kingdom of Egelea.
"The 500 golems are those mega-ants,...... or, at the very least, gigantic ants. Did he seal those mega-ants?"

Staring at the screen, the magic minister Kerichdole's face twisted.
"It must be because of that bad food that there was no carcass of the giant ant while the broken golem was still there. ......"
He collects his thoughts as he looks at the screen.

"But are there any conditions under which giant ants occur? The last time our survey team entered the site, nothing happened. ......"
I don't know about that because there is too little information. But if we can solve the mystery, we may be able to repel or dispel the giant ants.
"......It's frustrating to have one-way information."

In any case, this is a big deal.
Just then the Prime Minister, the Marquis Boyd Norse Galuelli, arrived. He had been summoned earlier when the skirmish with the Cerroa golem broke out.
"Kelihidore, did you say there was trouble with the Kingdom of Cerroa?"

"...... No, something more outrageous has happened now."
"What!"
Kerichdole silently pointed at the magical monitoring device (Magi Monitor).

The last time Jin had given me advice, I had improved the precision of the polishing of the magi crystals that act as the camera, and the image quality had been greatly improved.
"Ummm, what is that monster?"
Kelihidole gave a brief explanation and his own guesses.

The Prime Minister listened in silence, but when he had finished,
"I guess we'll have to ask ...... for help," he said in a pained voice.
He said in a pained voice.

"Rescue," he said, "but by whom?
Kerichdole is startled by these words. The Prime Minister mentioned the name of a person to him.

"I see."
Neither the Prime Minister nor the Minister of Magic had forgotten Reiko's power that had been demonstrated at the Golem Party. No, they could not forget.
"She is in the Kingdom of Klein right now for the unveiling of the new airship. They will be here tomorrow, but it wouldn't be so insane if we ask them to come earlier in case of an emergency."

Whether it is insane or not, the current situation is not something that can be overlooked.
"It's not the regular contact time, but it's an emergency, I'll call him on the manaphone.
With these words, the Prime Minister rushes toward the royal palace.

"But I am also in awe of the accuracy of this map. Even with my own eyes, I could never have produced a map this detailed and minutely detailed.
I take my hat off to you," laughed Princess Rieschen.

"Your Highness, shouldn't we be getting back?"
Jessica Norton, the captain of the Kingsguard female knight squadron who had accompanied her as her escort, said.
"Jessica, it's not too late, is it? The sun is still high."

"Yes. ......"
Jessica, who had been Princess Rieschen's bodyguard since she was a little girl, was sweet on her. She is weak when he looks up at her and begs for her hand.
"Gin, can't you fly over Leonard's kingdom?"

"Jin! Something's happened!

There's a commotion at the castle. We'd better hurry home.
At Reese's urgent tone, Jin instructed Reiko to increase the speed of

Reiko, with her high reaction time, is more suitable for the high speed.

The speed on the way to the castle was about 50 kilometers per hour, but on the way back it was twice that.
Although the airtight cabin kept us out of the wind, we were both a little worried that we might collide with Wang Chung as he approached.

After about five minutes, Jin and his team landed in the courtyard of the castle. Then, a knight came running up to them.
"What a big deal to use a knight as a messenger, isn't it?"
Reese said with a tense look on his face.
