[Imperial Guard]

　The young soldier, who was advancing while hiding his body behind the golem, looked up, clutching the hilt of his own spear.

　He looked at the towering city walls and gritted his teeth.

''Hey.''

　The young man gulped and looked diagonally behind him at the voice that was suddenly called.

''Don't get too hard. Anyone who can't move will soon be dead.

　When a man in his early twenties wearing used iron armor said this, the young man wrinkled his brow and opened his mouth.

''I don't want to be with mercenaries like you. I've been invaded by the Empire and forced to become a soldier. Besides, we're all going to be the first ones to fight and we're all going to die anyway.

　When the blue-faced young man said this, the man let out a loud sigh and pointed ahead.

''This time it's a win-win for everyone, you know? Look at that unblemished golem. One new golem in a row for every three.

　When the man told him this, the young man arched his eyebrows and pulled his chin back. He let out another sigh at the sight and the man shook his head from side to side.

''Most countries make golems, but they can't prepare a new golem every time like the Empire. That's how different their power is. I'm sure they'll surrender to us in three days if we just try to survive. We'll take the king's head as a souvenir.

　The young man laughed at that, and the young man turned his face forward, relieved, and looked at the golem.

　At that moment, someone shouted behind him.

''Oh, hey........''

　There was a murmur, and as the young man looked around, those around him turned their faces upward. As the young man belatedly looked up, something black obstructed his vision.

　That black something was large and shaped like a person.

''....Huh?''

　Screams and shouts began to echo from the surroundings as the young man let out a distracted voice.

　As the commotion grew, the young man lifted his spear in a panic and looked up at something black.

''Teh, it's an enemy golem!

　Someone shouted.

　Immediately after, countless spears were thrust out in unison right beside the young man who was standing there with his gain ready. The spears were sharply thrust into the body, head and limbs of the mysterious golem.

　And as soon as they hit the golem, the ears and wooden handles are broken off.

You can't even get a scratch on it! I don't even have my armor on!

Where is the sorcerer?

No, no! Still in the back!

　Confused by the sudden appearance of the golem, the soldiers moved to deal with it somehow.

　In the meantime, the imperial golems turned to the mysterious golem that had newly appeared and charged, each holding their weapons at the ready. After all, it's a powerful move, like a giant that suits its figure.

　Towards that imperial golem, the mysterious golem walked out quietly.

　At that moment when the golem and the giant body of the golem collided, the arms of the mysterious golem were blurred and the head of one of the imperial golems was blown off.

　The Imperial soldiers froze at the sight.

　The sound of wind and the sharp sound of metal being cut off rang out, and the golem that had lost its head was torn in two.

　Unlike the soldiers who couldn't even stand still, the other golems didn't slow down even when their comrades were killed and stood up to the mysterious golem.

　However, one of them lost an arm, one lost a leg, and the last one had a hole in its chest.

　And in the blink of an eye, the dismembered bodies of the four golems roll to the ground.

　When the young man looked around for help, the strongest golems that the Imperial Army was proud of had already disappeared from their sight.

　Instead, those mysterious golems were lined up in a row and blocked out.



　When the young man turned around at the screams of the soldiers, everyone was running to get away from the golem.





''Wha, what happened........? Those........those golems that fell from the sky.......!

　Violette grunted and uttered that at the top of the hill far behind the army attacking the royal capital.

　Even from a distance, Violette could see the imperial army's battle lines collapsing, and she gnashed her teeth.

　Although flames caused by magic were raised in places, the soldiers scattered and fled, not caring about the collapse of the ranks.

''........It seems that our golems have been destroyed. And the infantrymen who were supposed to present themselves and hold them back have lost their will to fight and are fleeing.

　When one of the cavalrymen announced this, Violette stood up from her chair and narrowed her eyes.

''What are the commanders doing...! No matter how much of a mishmash of soldiers they are, aren't they too clumsy? Don't tell me you're going to take the commander first...?

　Violette muttered, and the cavalryman shook his head from side to side, as if he had difficulty saying it.

''No, I've counted the battle flag, but the commander seems to be safe.

　Violette's face twisted in anger at those words.

'To flee even though you knew you would be punished if you stepped back, you felt a greater sense of awe than my empire? What is it, that golem........!

We won't be able to provide reinforcements.

''It's frustrating that we have such a large number of advantages, but let's attack from the west in a cone formation. Heavy infantry in the center and cavalry on either side to face it. The moment the heavy infantry collides with the golems, the cavalrymen will divide into left and right sides, and they will play with the other golems with their mobility to stop them. The goal is to destroy the golems that the heavy infantry collides with by magic.

　Violette looked at the surrounding cavalrymen, giving them instructions, and finally looked back behind her. The soldiers around her looked in awe at the large golem that walked along with the carriage.

''One-on-one, my golem would be stronger than you. When it's difficult to stop even a heavy infantry unit, I'll use my golems to counter them.''

　The moment I said that, a black shadow descended from the sky.

　With a shake of the earth, the black shadow landed in front of Violette.

　Violette's body trembles as she looks at the figure with its slumped surface and stocky body shape.

''Gosh, golem........? I've never seen such, such a golem....

General! Please stay away!

　Violette looked up with a huff as people around her called out to her.

''I don't want to be licked for attacking the main camp in one piece!

　Saying that, he raised one hand and the golem behind the carriage moved with a swiftness that wasn't commensurate with its massive body and approached the mysterious golem.

　The thick, huge, double-edged sword was raised lightly, and Violette's golem showed a slash with a smooth, human-like movement.

　But even as a fierce sound of metal clashing rang out, the mysterious golem stood there as if nothing had happened.

　The sound of a huge double-edged sword thrusting into the ground rang out late.

　Violette's golem arm was still attached to the double-edged sword that stood on the ground just beside the carriage.

''Oh, that's ridiculous...''

　In front of Violette's eyes as she turned around to say that, Violette's prized golem was destroyed by dividing its body into three parts.

''Nuh, nuh-ah!''

Come on, get back! Take the general down!

　As Violette was stunned, the soldiers around her attacked the mysterious golem while shouting at her.

　However, both the spear and the sword were destroyed by the golem's two hands, and even the elite of the imperial army were frightened.

　In the midst of all this, the golem slowly moves its head as if to look around, and then softly floats up to the sky, unimaginably natural from its massive body.

''Wait a minute! Oh, who is the sorcerer who made you! Where are you a golem?!

　Violette tried to cling to it while screaming, but the golem didn't even look back and gradually increased its speed and flew into the sky.





[Royal Capital]

　In the face of the overwhelming power of the golems that descended from the sky, the soldiers on top of the city walls screamed in astonishment.

''What, what are those golems...?

The imperial army was kicked out so fast...

　Dukel roared as he heard the soldiers' voices in his ears.

''........If that golem attacks, this royal capital.......no, any city will be taken over immediately. Is it an enemy or an ally.......

"Hello, General Dukel! What, what, what are you going to do? Against that golem, the odds are against...!

　When the man in white robes said that with a pale face, Dukel looked up at the sky and let out a sigh.

''Thank you so much ... it's ridiculous to even think about winning or losing.

　As Dukel said this and crossed his arms while staring at the sky, the man in white robes looked up and gasped.

　The man sat back down on the ground as the golems looked down at the royal city from the sky.

　Beside the frightened people around him, Dukel let out a wild voice.

''I have no intention of disobeying you. Will you allow me to send a messenger? I want to talk to you.''

　As Dukel said this, the man in the white robe clicked his teeth and spoke up with a counter argument.

''Heh, heh, I'll ask Your Majesty once...''

　At the words of the man in the white robe, Dukel snorted and opened his mouth.

''It doesn't matter who's the messenger, it's the same. Then I'll talk to him directly as a messenger. I'd honestly like to meet a sorcerer who makes a golem like this, though.

　One of the golems landed in front of Dukel, who laughed as he said that.
