"......Well, I guess the trouble I heard from Zion is almost settled now."
Jin was relieved. After all, he could not just assume that he had nothing to do with it. He had a great longing for blood relations.

It was 11:30 in the morning.
It was a little early, but Jin decided to have lunch.

"It's not enough without Reiko.
Yes, Reiko is still in Blue Land with Jin D.
"I see."
I had to deal with the Duke of Breuland over there, so I couldn't just come home.
"Socializing is a hassle after all ...... but I don't want to be a recluse."

Jin thinks that even if he tries to live as inconspicuously as possible, he probably won't make it.
Trouble is something that comes from the other side even if you try to stay away from it.

The Duke of Bruu, who is also royalty, was one of the representatives of the Kingdom of Egelea at the World Congress.
"I think I can be a temporary lecturer as well," he said.
"Oh, that's good news.

Duke Breu seems very enthusiastic.
And then...

"Sir, the security forces have arrived at the location. They've informed me that they're going to begin the capture operation."
"Oh, I see."
Although considerably larger than the one Jin is using and unable to make multi-channel calls, the manaphone, which enables long-distance communication, has been miniaturized to the size of a school bag and is being used in many places. By the way, Jin's Manacam is the size of a cellular phone.

Dusk is falling on Mount Bilbo, and there are three airships, 30 soldiers, and 10 battle golems. No, in addition, there were two general-purpose golems and a commander, a captain.
This was the 2nd Platoon of the Guard dispatched by the Duke of Breu.
And under the captain's command, they set out to close the siege.

Hey, we're in trouble! Before we know it, we're surrounded!"
At the bandit's hideout, one of the bandits, sensing the shrinking siege, informed his comrades.

"d*mn it! How the hell did they know where we are?
"How did you find us?" "That's not important right now, it's how we're going to get out of here," said one of the bandits. ......The warp gate in the basement is a magical tool? You can't use the Magi machine, can you?"
"Yeah. It seems that the host is not working. We have no idea where they will go. If it's on land, that's fine, but if it's on the sea, that's just too much. And if it's in the air, we'll have to go to ......."

There are soldiers outside and three airships in the sky.

"I don't want to ...... do it, but we'll use the golem as bait and we'll escape, that's the only way."
The man in the bandit's chief of staff blurted out.
"Yes, that's right. <

"It's better than being caught."
"That's what I'm saying. With all the money we've saved up, we should be able to live off of it for a while.
But most of it isn't in the safe house, okay?

Don't worry. We can live on what we have for the next six months. We just have to make it to their hideout in the meantime.
I understand.

Five minutes after that conversation.
The siege had narrowed considerably.
The location was halfway up the mountain, on a gentle slope. A log cabin and a black airship are visible.

"We'll close the siege a little more, and then we'll charge in at once!"
The captain was a cautious man. It was to their detriment. They should have taken the airship ......<
About 10 seconds before he gave the signal to charge, the door to the log cabin opened and a golem jumped out.

"Mwah, intercept!"
The golem was so fast that 10 of the 30 men who had formed the encirclement were instantly hit and on the ground.
However, the soldiers dispatched by the Duke of Broux were highly skilled and quickly adapted to the situation.

Don't panic! There is only one opponent. Gather around the battle golem!
The 10 battle golems join the siege at equal intervals. The remaining 20 soldiers rush to the nearest Golem.
Even in this situation, the captain carefully observes the situation. He is able to do this because he is sandwiched between two general-purpose golems, which gives him a different sense of security.

The bandit golem was aiming at one point, the foot of the mountain.
"Hmm, you are trying to secure an escape route, aren't you? Teams 2 and 3, move toward the foot of the mountain!
Here was the captain's miscalculation.

Airships were also an important means of escape, but since there were three airships in the sky and they were clearly visible from the ground, he had overestimated the possibility of using them as an escape route.
First, he sent one-third of his men in pursuit. This left him with 14 men and 8 golems.
However, the pursuers, six soldiers and two golems, are quickly neutralized by the bandit golem.

The soldiers roll about with broken legs, and the battle golem is destroyed with a blow or two.
The performance of the bandit golem was that much different from that of the bandit golem.

The captain was a good tactician, but he lacked experience in actual combat.
He made the worst possible move in this situation by launching the ...... forces one after the other.
Of course, the strategy of the bandits who led them to do so should not be overlooked.

In any case, the bandit golem used its power to destroy them individually.
