"d*mn! I can't hold my air bladder any longer! We're going to crash land!"

 The airship on the <> side was unable to stay afloat due to the holes in its air sacs from the continuous attacks.

"Roger! We are making an emergency landing.

 The only result was that the battle zone had shifted slightly to the south, over the wilderness instead of over the town.

Get me a general-purpose golem, too!

"Ha!"

 On the approaching land, several enemy golems could be seen.

"All hands, prepare for battle and prepare for the impact of the landing!

 Gaju Tugga gives the orders one after another. The other ship's crew could not be seen from here, but they could only hope that they were safe and sound.

 A few minutes later, there was a shock in the cabin of the airship.

"Ughhhh!"

 A crew member endures the impact.

"We've landed ......!"

Golem here, let's go!

Is anyone hurt? All those in one piece, get out! But don't go far! Use the airship as a shield!

 The wards are still barely functional. The strength will increase as the area is narrowed down. Gaju Tugga said that he would try to lock himself inside the shield.

 In the darkness, only the footsteps of the approaching enemy golem echo eerily.

"Go, Golem!"

 It's not a good idea to let them get too close. Tsuga ordered the two general-purpose Golems he had brought with him to go into battle.

 The battle began immediately. The airship's safe light illuminated the scene dimly.

 There are four enemy battle golems. We have two. However, the general-purpose golem of the was superior in performance.

"Now we can breathe a sigh of relief..."

 It seems that the wards have been broken, and the sound of something being destroyed can be heard from within the premises. At that moment.

"Kachair!"

 The door opened and Eira jumped in.

"E-EIRA?"

"Thank God you're here. We have to evacuate quickly!

"Evacuate to where?

The basement warehouse! Come on, let's go!

 Eira helped her to her feet.

 She ran through the corridor to the stairs at the back of the building. She runs down the stairs as fast as she can and finds herself at the entrance to the basement warehouse.

"Eira! Katya! Hurry!"

 Downstairs, Groma was waiting for them.

 As soon as Eira and Kaechea jumped in, Gromma closed the door.

"It looks like we have everyone in the research building now."

 Besides Katya, Eira, and Gromma, twenty-one other people were sitting down, looking exhausted.

"Katya, Eira, you are unlucky too. If you had stayed with the Duchy of Jaguar, you might not have had to go through this.

 Someone said to the two of them. They had been sent back to their old home here at the research dormitory a week ago.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. We have to work together to get out of this predicament.

 Groma Trey rebuked him.

"Groma, what's wrong with your golem?

 Eira asked in her usual tone.

"Yeah, I sent four moveable golems to the main gate, the back gate, and two service gates in the north, south, east, and west, respectively, but there were too many of them. We are outnumbered. It's like they say, the enemy is too numerous to fight.

"You say so yourself: ......"

 Normally, an argument would have started here, but even Eira, as expected, seemed to be unable to speak lightly under the circumstances.

"But this is a cul-de-sac, isn't it?"

 If they attack us here," said Katya, "there's nowhere to run.

"That's true. But there is still hope. I glanced around before I locked myself in here and saw that the airship of the <> had arrived."

 There were only two of them, so their strength was low, but Gromma assured him that once they got in touch with headquarters, help would definitely be on the way.

"My teacher is the one who studied in , which gave birth to the ."

 When Gromma gave the evidence, everyone seemed to calm down a little.

"Well, that's what we need to do, buy ourselves some time.

 Gromma pointed to a golem lying in the back of the warehouse.

"It's a state-of-the-art golem. It's not finished, but fortunately this is a warehouse. We have enough materials.

 In other words, he wanted to complete it here and use it as an asset.

Help me, Eira.

Of course.

 The two are usually bickering, but they are doing their jobs well. Especially this time, when their fate is at stake.

"Let's put a on this.

"We should make the three magic nerve wires parallel to each other to make them more reliable."

We should reinforce them with adamantite.

"Yes, let's also install two lines of ether converters.

 With an abundance of materials, I use materials that I would normally never get permission to use.

 Losing track of time, Groma and Eira continued to work toward the completion of the golem.

"Now all we need is armament..." "A shield is a must.

"Shields are a must.

 It was only natural that they would be used for their own defense.

We'll make two of them and carry one on our backs as a spare.

That's a good idea.

 He decides on a mace as his weapon of choice.

"It should be heavy enough to be wielded with one hand.

 Eira looks a little disappointed,

"No, this one has more power than the old one," Gloma assured him.

 Gromma assured him.

"So let's use a mace of the normal level.

 Thus, the special golem that they had hoped for was completed.

 At the same time, the door to the warehouse roared open.

"Ow!"

 Someone lets out a small scream.

"...... finally!"

 Groma muttered bitterly.

"It's a good thing the golem is finished, I hope they don't find it.

"I agree."

 While I was saying this, I heard a knock on the door once again. The door seems to be distorted.

"A door that has <> and <> overlaid on top of each other? What stupid power!"

 After three more blows, even the door is distorted and a gap appears.

"Here it comes: ......!"

 The special golem is already activated.

 The moment the door is breached, it will strike.

 One more hit, and the door is completely warped, leaving a gap for the golem to pass through.

"Go!"

 Groma ordered, and the special golem jumped out.

 The first thing it did was to strike. A roar that was even louder than when the door was slammed, and both the door and the enemy golem were blown away.

"Okay, that's it! Keep attacking!"

 Even though they are autonomous, it is easier for them to fight if they are given detailed instructions. Groma then released a ball of light outside.

 The pitch-darkness of the outside becomes visible. There is .......

"No way. ......"

 Katya gasped for breath.

 Outside the door stood 20 enemy battle golems.
