"Request for help ......?"
Princess Rieschen, who had just come down from her cabin, asked.
"What in the world is going on?"

The knight of the messenger hesitated for a moment, but decided to report it right then and there, since it was not something that the princess would want to hear.
The 3rd Knights of the Kingdom of Egelea, along with the Frontier Guards of the Kingdom of Selroa, who were present, were attacked by a huge ant-like monster at the ruins of Soldrake, in the former Leonard Kingdom.
"Ant demons? Did they come out of the ...... basement?

Jin has no intention of intervening in the quarrels between countries. But when it comes to the outbreak of demons, it's a different story.
"Jin, can I ...... ask you to do it? Paule, the captain of the 3rd Knights, is no stranger to this. He is the man who always escorts me when I visit the Kingdom of Egelea.
Even more so when Princess Rieschen pleads with him.

"I understand. At least, not this time."
With a hint of not wanting to be used in such a way that he would always be taken advantage of, Hitoshi agreed.
"Reiko, Elsa, let's go."

"Yes, Father."
Yes, father.
Princess Rieschen looked as if she wanted to follow him, but that was unforgivable.

"Jin, please!"
Rieschen waved back at him, and Jin climbed into the cabin.
The plane then ascended at a high speed.

The nose of the plane turns to the southeast and accelerates. The speed is so fast that even Princess Rieschen's evil eye cannot see it.
"You heard what I said, old man, right? Do you know where the problem is?
The first thing Jin did was to check with the old man.

The Soldrake site is more than 200 km away from Alban, the capital of the Klein Kingdom, where Konjin is located. <

Literally in an instant, Jin and the others were in the front yard of the Horaijima Institute. It's a margin of error of about 10 centimeters. As expected of the 700672.
"Old man, please send me back to the Soldrake site with the transporter again. ...... Oh, and let's get some more stuff first."

Jin heard that it was an ant-like demon, so he loaded it with a laser gun, a magic cannon, a super high-speed vibrating sword, and a plasma sword.

The next time it appeared was in the air near the ruins of Soldrake.
Reiko immediately reacted and pointed the nose toward the ruins.

Tristo Clarotho orders his prized battle golem. The next moment, however, his eyes widen in astonishment.

"What?
Some of the ant species that inhabit the earth secrete an organic acid called formic acid. Human gastric juice contains hydrochloric acid.
Some bacteria in human intestines produce acetic acid and succinic acid.

It is not surprising that giant ants, which are classified as demons, secrete strong acids. In fact, Gigantopods also had a strong corrosive body fluid.
"Geeaaa......"
"Ouch ......"

Most of the 50 members of the 2nd Frontier Corps of the Kingdom of Celluloid had been attacked by the formic acid-like fluid spewed by the Gigantopods. The weakest ones were eaten by the liquid.
"d*mn it, this is what has happened to our frontier corps!
No matter how much the leader, Trist, regrets the situation, the situation remains the same.

The battle golem crushed several Giant Ants, but more than twice as many Giant Ants sprayed it with corrosive liquid, melting it and rendering it immobile.
Only two ants remained to protect Tryst. The fifty-man army was now all that remained of Trist.
And more than half of the 500 golems they had brought out had been melted down to scrap by the giant ants.

Barely three Golems that had apparently not yet had commands written on them moved toward the Giant Ants, but they were no match for the Giant Ants, and were destroyed in an instant.
In contrast, the 3rd Knights of the Kingdom of Egelea are still all safe.
The difference was mainly in the cavalry. The soldiers of the Frontier Corps are infantrymen, and only the leader, Tryst, is on horseback. In contrast, on the side of the Kingdom of Egelea, all the soldiers are knights.

The speed of movement of the giant ants was almost the same as that of horses, so they were able to keep running away.
"But if we keep going like this, we will get hit someday. ......"
Paule Reid, the leader of the team, thought desperately as he continued to follow the trail.

The speeds are about the same, but the Giant Ants show no signs of fatigue. The knights, on the other hand, can only maintain their current speed for 15 minutes.
"Hmmm, 500 golems are nothing but scarecrows now. ...... What a waste."
Philippe Tifo, the head of the Blue Lands branch of the Guild of Magecraftsmen, muttered ruefully as he turned around on his horse.

I don't know what kind of commands Trist had written down, but a golem that can only walk is no match for a giant ant.
"If that thing could have fought, it could have been prevented. ......"
His mutterings sounded regretful.

At that moment. The horse Philippe was riding tripped over something.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Philippe was thrown off the horse.

Philippe had sprained his right ankle and right wrist and could not get up right away.
"I'll get him."
Dona carried him on her back and started to walk away. The horse he was riding had already driven away.

Jin and Erza were absolutely horrified by the devastation below them.
There were what seemed to be more than a thousand giant ants writhing about.

About 50 soldiers had fallen, and some were being eaten by giant ants.
The majority of the 500 golems had already been melted down, and some of them had lost their original shape.
"Giant ants, huh? I hear it's a powerful corrosive.

Hmm. ...... Perhaps they use that fluid to melt rocks in order to build their nests in the ground?"
Erza speculates. Probably that's the right answer, Jin thought.

"That must be it. Then, considering the size difference between ...... those giant ants and gigantopods, the giant ants must be weaker than the gigantopods."
This can be seen in the way the golem melts. At the time of the Gigantopod, even the adamantite was melted, though only slightly.
The movement of Gigantopods is also slower than that of Gigantopods.

However, if we are too slow, they may catch up with the 3rd Knights of Egelea, who are running away desperately.
Also, dozens of them have begun to scatter in different directions. It would be troublesome if they build a nest.
Reiko, can you help us?

Yes, Father, I'll take care of it.
The effects of that corrosive liquid are unknown. We need to put up a solid physical barrier and attack with magic or laser guns from inside.
"Yes, sir, I understand."
