"What the hell is that? ......"

It was an awe-inspiring feeling on both sides, the attackers and the defenders.

"Is it friend or foe?"

That is another question that both sides have. But it soon becomes clear.

A voice came from the giant golem.

"Drop your weapons, both of you!"

The voice sounded like a woman's voice, although the application of wind magic to magnify the voice and make it resonate obscured the original quality of the voice.

"War is barren. Nations are exhausted and people are hurt. What this world needs now is peace.

Reiko was speaking from inside the golem, the same words that Jin had taught her.

"The population is small and the land is large. If you have the energy for war, develop your country. Make the people rich."

These were the words of persuasion that Jin had been thinking about desperately last night.

"Why do you now hold weapons in your hands that you fought each other in the magic war?

Time seems to have stopped on the battlefield. Everyone listened to the words of the giant golem.

"The past is the past. The past is the past. It is the future we must reach for."

Some of the soldiers and knights were receptive.

"Do not look back at the past, but use your strength to build the future. Do not live for destruction, but for creation.

Someone sniffed and sniffed. It sounded like a pretty thing to that person.

"You are free to listen to this advice or not. But if you don't listen to me, I will stop you by force.

Before he could finish saying this, the Royal Franz Army unleashed a flame ball spell at the giant golem.

The giant golem caught the flame ball with its huge palm and squeezed it.

After a short delay, the 1st and 2nd companies came to their senses and began to move. The goal is the open gate.

And from the gate, the intercepting magic is released.

The magic of the Titans was in the air.

Jin, who had been watching and listening through the mana telecam installed in the Titan, sighed.

"I guess it's not going to work.

Jin's words did not seem to have any persuasive power in the special battlefield environment.

"Reiko, we're going to execute Operation No. 2 as planned. Raptors and Falcons, deploy!

Yes, father.

Yes, Master.

* * *

The battlefield is once again filled with noise,

"I'm sorry, sir."

Such a voice echoed.

And then the giant golem began to move.

Its movements are comparable to those of human beings. This means that it appears to be moving about ten times faster than a human.

In the blink of an eye, the giant golem approached the walls of Tetrada.

"Whoa, whoa!"

The walls are 8 meters high and the golem is 15 meters tall. The walls are only about waist-high.

With such a huge golem approaching, it is only natural to be afraid. And then...

The giant golem raises its right arm.

A smashing sound is heard. More than half of the wall in front of the giant golem has collapsed. Buried beneath the rubble are the remains of the golem that descended from the flying sphere.

Yes, the giant golem, along with the walls, had crushed the golem that was still rampaging about with a single blow.

"What a ......!"

Niklas Fahlheit let out a groan of astonishment and awe.

The giant golem that had shattered the walls now turned to the Franzian army and held out its right hand as if using magic.

The soldiers shuddered at the mere mention of it.

But nothing happened. Just when the soldiers were beginning to think that it was just a false threat, it happened.

"What is it?　My body is hot."

"Hmm?　Sword is hot?

"Hot!　"Hot!" "Hot!" "Hot!"

"Whoa, whoa, why?"

The swords the soldiers were holding and the armor they were wearing started to heat up.

"It's hot!　I can't wear it!

The sound of metal on the battlefield. Swords are thrown out, helmets are thrown on, armor is taken off.

Now all kinds of metal are heating up.

（You are a master, father!)

Jin hurriedly finished the magic tool, the Induction Radiator.

If it radiated at maximum output, it could melt steel in a short time, but considering the soldiers, it radiated weakly.

And it is not Reiko's Titan 2 that is radiating, but the Falcon 1 to 5 Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) planes far above us. VTOL).

They were stealthily disappearing and radiating toward the ground. Titan II is just posing. There was no time to mount it.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!　What's going on?　What's going on?

That's the cry of the soldiers. The swords, helmets, armor, and spearheads that were still in their hands because of their wooden handles began to glow red.

The red eventually turned yellow and then white-hot,...... and all metal weapons and armor melted down. No, even the pots and metal dishes in the rear position had melted.

"This is ......"

Without weapons and armor, there was no way they could fight properly, and Franz's army had lost all will to fight.

This scene was seen not only in front of the Tetrada gate, but also in front of all the Franzian troops, including the 5th and 6th companies that were positioned on the opposite side of the gate.

And the mysterious ball flying in the sky was not safe.

As they stood idly by, unsure of the identity of the giant golem, they noticed that it was gradually losing altitude.

"What?　More fire, more temperature!"

Yes, the mysterious flying ball was a hot air balloon. It floats in the sky with the heat source of the magic fire used by one of the mages on board, and moves with wind magic. Since there are no heavy items such as gas cylinders, it has a high carrying capacity.

But now, the Raptor squadron equipped with a magic jammer (magijammer) had disabled the use of that magic.

"We're losing altitude!　Can't you do something!"

We're in Tetrada Castle!

Inside the Tetrada Castle, a flying ball was waiting to descend with the golem that had destroyed the castle gates.

"d*mn!　Attack with magic!"

"No!　I don't know why I can't use magic!

Four of the five hot-air balloons crash-landed into the tetrada. The remaining one crash-landed outside the castle, and the two occupants escaped from the tetrada.

However, they were captured by the army golem that had already been deployed and taken to Falcon 5 to get information. We are waiting for Jin's instructions.

The crew members aboard the remaining four balloons were all taken into custody. Niklas Fahlheit behaved reasonably.

He will be ordered to escort them back to the main headquarters in Berg.

And finally, it happened.

"Gee!

Gah!

Ow!

With a short scream, Franz's Royal Army, Klein's Royal Army, and even the inhabitants of Tetrada all let out a short scream and fainted.

Of course, this was caused by the paralyzing gun (paralyzer) fired by the Raptors and Falcons in the sky above.

At the same time, they were shocked, which should have awakened them even if they had been controlled by hypnosis or suggestion (seduce).

Around Tetrada, where no one had moved, army golems appeared.

They recovered all the weapons and armor within the walls of the Tetrada. At the same time, they gave recovery medicine to those who were seriously injured. It was proven that the medicine was effective even if they did not drink it.

The fainted people woke up and realized that their weapons and armor were gone, but there was nothing they could do, so the Franzian army retreated. The army of the Kingdom of Klein had no choice but to repair the collapsed walls and gates.
