Is there anything wrong with the barriers?
No problem.
Okay.


　Brooklyn Kanchelsia and the head of the House of Babenberg covered themselves with a barrier and flew in the air, heading south of the royal capital. They were not very close to each other, but they were still working together.

　Previously, Brooklyn had even thrown a wine glass at the head of the Babenberg family and told him to be prepared, but after the attack on Orbis, he easily retracted his words and apologized before offering his cooperation.

　As the Babenberg family also had a responsibility to protect the royal city, they quickly accepted Brooklyn Kanchelsia's apology. But the head of House Babenberg was surprised when House Kanchelsia proposed to erect a barrier around the capital.

　Kanchelsia has kept the city safe in one house for generations, and the family is proud of its achievements. One family has been responsible for all the protection of the city and has defeated monsters, no matter how numerous they may be. The walls of King's Landing are not only built by Brooklyn, the head of the family, but also by other members of the family, who are confident in their durability.

　But that pride and history is easily discarded by Brooklyn, who has suggested that the Babenberg family also put up barriers to King's Landing.

　It's easy to imagine that Brooklyn was denounced by the House of Kanchelsia in the lead up to that proposal. The head of the House of Babenberg also proposed to help the explorers after the dungeon of God, but he was opposed by his father and mother to his siblings, who shouted that he was an embarrassment to the House of Babenberg. Nevertheless, he took his time to convince them, and managed to convince them to make it into what it is now.

　So she must have convinced the Kanchelsia's through the plot, too. Even Brooklyn, who is ruthless towards the people, has a certain amount of respect for the same nobles. And she is prepared to become the black history of the House of Kanchelsia, and has offered a proposal that the Babenberg's make up for the historic barriers of the House of Kanchelsia that have protected the royal city for generations.

　Both the Babenberg and Kanchelsia families have already broken the barrier. So Brooklyn would have decided that without those two families joining forces, King's Landing could not be protected. His hard work in laying the groundwork for the king and other nobles about cooperating with the Kanchelsia family, thinking about the same thing as Brooklyn, ended in an unexpectedly futile effort.

　As houses that use the same barrier magic, the Babenberg family and the Kanchelsia family had a feud somehow. It's a good thing that you're able to get a great deal more out of them. Furthermore, the feud with the searchers had faded and a sense of unity was beginning to emerge in the organization.

　And Brooklyn, who was already looking at the huge monster, the old bone turtle, which could be seen even from here, contorted his gallant face.


''That size is going to be a handful.
'Fortunately, there are many explorers who have experience fighting big monsters. As long as we have a barrier, we should be fine.
'....A big monster, a mounted golem, was it? Is it that big?
'I don't know how big it is exactly, because I haven't seen it in person. But from what I've seen on the divine table, it's as big as that one. Aldoret Crow's summoner summons a mounted golem, you can compare it to that one.
Summoner Luke.


　The only thing that reminded me of the man who looked like a child, but was the only one who had the decency to be polite, Brooklyn didn't hide his disgusted face. I'm not a fan of the explorer who started a revolution as soon as he gained new powers, even though he had a habit of flattering his magical powers. That's why I didn't want to borrow the power of the explorer.

　But she knew that the power of the seeker was essential to killing Orbis, who could destroy even the execution chamber, her masterpiece, and who disgraced her pride as an aristocrat by seriously injuring her. That's why Brooklyn is no longer cooperating with the searchers by talking to them and discussing with them in a sincere manner.


I've given you all those magic stones. You have to have a little bit of success.
''In the last Stampede, we were in danger if it wasn't for his summoning. He'll be more than capable of fighting for the magic stones we deposited.
I wouldn't expect more from you than the magical stone was worth. I was just being polite, so I'm just being accommodating.


　He had spoken to Tsutomu and Chrystia of the Maze Control Squad, whom the Babenberg family had approved of from the beginning, but after the Orvis attack, Brooklyn had also had face-to-face discussions with Weiss, Leon and Luke.

　However, Weiss barely said a word, and Leon was the first to hit on him with sweet nothings. Brooklyn wanted to kill them both inwardly, but Luke was the only one of them who could have a decent talk with him, so he remembered him well.


''Well the explorers also like the cooperative behavior of the Kanchelsia family. The fact that you, the head of the family, spoke to them face to face was probably a big deal. Many of the explorers are righteous and humane.
'What's the righteousness and humanity when you put out a group of criminals? I'm just using them because as far as I've heard from the knights who have been on the front lines, they seem to be a bit of a force to be reckoned with. The mercenaries are still more trustworthy though.


　Brooklyn shrugged petulantly and stared in the direction where the old bone turtle wasn't.


'And that old man seems to be late in arriving, but he's useless at a crucial time. I hope the guy who uses that crazy technology will take this opportunity to die.''
'They must be getting some kind of enemy interference. But it's not a problem in terms of strength. You can use everything you've got to defend King's Landing.
I would if I had to.


　With a disapproving look on her face, Brooklyn turned away and headed south past him. After giving her a reassuring look, the head of the Babenberg family gave her a reassuring look, and then followed her back.

　And when he arrived at the place where the explorers, knights and musicians were gathered, he looked at the two figures visible on the old bone turtle.


''Orbissssss...!
There it is.


　Brooklyn was staring at Orbis, who was standing on the old bone turtle with a furious expression on his face, while the head of the Babenberg family looked blankly at Mina next to him. With bandages wrapped around her body, she looked like a mummy.


'Babenberg, Kanchelsia. Your opponent is preparing something. Probably to break the barrier. So we will form a squad of a few dozen people and come out of here. When that happens, I'll ask you to partially lift the barriers.
Yes, sir.


　Noticing the arrival of both of them, Chrystia immediately gave instructions to them, and the head of the Babenberg family saw those with unique skills gathered there. As she saw other knights and the Labyrinth Conqueror Squad checking the loading of magical weapons, a magnificent performance began behind them.

　A musical band made up of bards with various instruments began to play, and the skills built into it increased the ability value of all the people in this place. And that song also signals a stampede battle for the searchers, and their morale naturally increases.


'Summon [Samon] -- Mount Golem'


　As the explorers prepared for battle, Aldoret Crow's summoners also began to summon with a large number of magic stones. As Luke raised his large staff, which was as tall as his own, particles rose from the magic stones arrayed on the ground. And after a little while, the head of the mounted golem sprouted out of the ground.

　From then on, Luke slowly made the mounted golem stand up so that the giant body's movement wouldn't cause damage to those around it. The size of the thing is so unrealistic that if it were said to be a mythical monster, one would believe it. With the sight of such a mounted golem, the Maze Supremacy Squad sobbed in admiration and the knights couldn't help but sit up.

　And Brooklyn, who had seen the real Mounted Golem for the first time, also had a look of surprise on her face.


''........Are the searchers fighting that thing?
'All of the clan leaders you spoke to directly are fighting mounted golems. And with a small number of people, five of them, they took down the Mounted Golem and moved on to the next level.
..........


　Although the Mounted Golem was not as long as the old bone tortoise, it was still big enough to fight it head on. And seeing Luke, who seemed to be frolicking on the Mounted Golem's shoulder, Brooklyn shuddered as if he felt a chill.

　Brooklyn had gotten information about the labyrinth city from time to time, and he knew about the existence of the Mounted Golem and the Winter General. But when Brooklyn actually saw the Mounted Golem, he had to say that he was overwhelmed. A picture is worth a thousand words, that was exactly what it meant.


''The front line troops are about to come together. Brooklyn, you will be in charge of filling in for the barriers. I'll assist the searchers.
Okay.


　Brooklyn, who had been overwhelmed by the Mounted Golem, returned it and looked at the explorer, who was preparing to walk out with suspicious eyes.
