It takes time and money to make them, and yet, depending on the time and circumstances, there are cases where the person who made them, the sorcerer, is stronger to fight.

　But even so, the existence of a golem was an essential part of the war.

　A talented sorcerer is finite, but as long as time and money are used, golems are infinite. And if you're dealing with castles, cities, and infantry, golems are the best fighting force.

　A country that can prepare a large number of golems. That is to say, it is a country that has a strong national power and a large number of sorcerers.

　In other words, the golems are also an indicator.

　If the quality of the golems is high, it can be the proof that the research of magic is advanced.

　Therefore, the top-notch mages always make a golem at least once. In order to prove their own knowledge and technical ability, they try to make the best golem.

　The Imperial Army had prepared a total of two hundred such top-class golems. One hundred of them were aimed at Falve and another hundred at the royal capital.

　The one hundred golems were lined up side by side, leading the imperial soldiers and mercenaries as they walked and marched towards their respective targets.





[Royal Capital]

　The city of the royal capital was in turmoil. A black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky above. And then, the imperial army attacked.

　Some people predicted that the black shadow floating as high as the clouds was a magical weapon developed by the imperial army, and citizens were horrified.

　The confusion was widespread even within the royal castle.

''Do we have any new information?!''

We still have no movement in the airborne object!

Where are the Imperial Guard?

I don't have a report on Hayama yet...!

　In the throne room where the shouting sounds echoed, Reicent, who sat on the throne, exhaled deeply.

''........The imperial army will be approaching this royal capital this evening, right? It can't be a coincidence. That flying object seems to be related to the movements of the imperial army.''

　Leitend muttered, and the robed old man raised his eyebrows.

''No matter what that flying object is, the biggest problem right now is the Imperial Army. There's no way Falve will fall in a day, you know. It's obvious that the imperial army has split its army in two.

No, Minister Tsang. Ignoring that flying object is...

　Leitend said this to the old man with a difficult look on his face, and the old man called Tsang sniffed and shook his head from side to side.

''Your Majesty. The old man thinks everything is easy. The flying objects are high in the sky, untouchable. Then there is no point in worrying about them. It's easier to think about the certainty of the coming imperial army.

　When Tsang replied that, Leitend blinked his eyes with a dumbfounded face.

''Well it would be easier for me if I could just split it up that easily.

　Leizent let out a sigh and looked up as he uttered that.

''In the meantime, as the minister says, let's take measures against the Imperial Army. We can either hunker down or strike out.

"Look, we're confined to the city! The enemy is the Imperial Guard. For now, we're on the defensive and reinforcements...

'Don't be a fool! Falbe has no more men and no more sorcerers than King's Landing! This one will defeat or retreat the imperial army as soon as possible, and then attack the Falbe from behind...
　
"No, General Heilert, who is defending Falve, has already sent reinforcements to various...

　A heated debate began, and Leithend leaned his weight against the backrest.

　While watching his subjects shouting at each other, he quietly propped his elbows on the elbow rest and rested his chin on his fists.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. There is no choice but to win. We have no choice but to win....

　Leitend muttered a small, small word and put his hands on his knees, which were trembling in small increments, and put his strength into them.





[Castle in the Sky]

　I exhaled loudly as I looked at the view on the ground on the giant screen.

'Awesome. It's like a movie.

　On the ground, the view reflected a wide plain, rolling hills, and a long stream. At the top of the hill was a large square city, with what looked like a castle in the middle.

　And away from the square city, there was the imperial army, shape-shifting as if it were a living thing.

　It's a number of soldiers that makes it tedious to count. There are also many carriages at the back, and soldiers on horseback are lined up in a row. In front of them are soldiers with bows, and soldiers with long spears. And then there are the soldiers with long spears, and so on.

...No, the front row is not people.

　When I said such a soliloquy, Eira, who clasped her hands together as if she were praying next to me, opened her mouth.

''........Those are all the biggest and strongest golems that the Imperial Army is proud of. Although they are built thicker and different in shape from Taiki-sama's golem, it is said that they still move as fast as humans. And because they are so big and thick, their strength is overwhelming.

　I observe the golems of the imperial army once again as the information is spoken with a serious expression on my face.

　I move the camera around and zoom in, showing each of the golems in turn.

　They all emit a dark shade of metallic luster, but there are differences in their shapes. Some of the golems looked like a pile of square blocks, while others had a round shape.

''Oh, I thought they were just shapes, but their weapons are different too.

　When I mentioned what I noticed while watching the video, Eira nodded dutifully and replied.

''Ah, yes the makers of each golem are different, so there are differences in the way they fight. Some take advantage of the size and weight of the golem by charging forward with a spear at the ready, others make it possible to fight anywhere by having it carry a sword and shield, and so on.......there are a wide variety of weapons and fighting styles.

Wow. The only thing that's the same is that they have something like a crest on them. It would look better if they all had the same shape and weaponry to make it look more military-like.

　As I was expressing such swallowing thoughts, Eira looked at me while fidgeting.



　I gave a small nod to Eira, who asked me anxiously.

''It's okay, I guess ... I'll do all I can, just pray to the angels for me.

You mean, for an angel?

　I smiled at a confused Eira and put my hand on the control screen.

Come on. Let's do it.
