"Our goal is to create a <>."

<> replied to the question from Niestor Cirillo Jagus, Duke of Jagus.

"Do you think you can do such a thing?

Aeas smirked with a twisted face as the King asked back.

"Yes, I can."

"How?　Let's hear it."

Deus ex machina asked in a slightly angry voice.

"You want to hear it?

This time <<> spoke up. And then ,

"Let's hear it ......!"

he said in a low voice.

"......Ni?stor Cirilo Jagus, Duke of Jagus, do you not know what it is?"

This is .

"You are the Duke of Jagus. How do you rule your people?"

<<> said bluntly.

"...... is it ...... brainwashing them into obeying you?"

The king, his face slightly pale, asks again in a weak voice, and Aeas replies again, "That's right.

"That's right."

"Don't ...... be silly!"

The Duke of Jagus is furious. But the 5 brushed off his anger as a breeze in a willow.

"What are you so angry about?　Is this not what you have done?"

Suenk, with an air of aloofness, says to the king.

"Gumm ......"

Hearing this, the king was speechless.

"I see......... I see...the countries in the east that are members of the <> are difficult to attack, so they targeted the four non-member duchies..."

Deus ex machina spoke up. Hearing this, smirks.

"You are very perceptive, aren't you? That's right."

"...... And in answer to the question, <>, you mean we should drop them before the four duchies officially join the >, right?"

Now Jin D said.

"And moreover, we couldn't take action while the Malquitas were there, could we?"

"Yes, that's right, <>."

Lalva answered Jin D with a smirk.

"The three duchies except for the Duchy of Jagus were able to get together earlier than we had planned, so we reluctantly sailed out with these three ships. ......"

I see," the old man thought as he piloted the Jin D. "If there was time, he was planning to bring the remaining ships in the western part of the Pandor continent with him.

"You have thrown us off schedule so much that we have had to retreat for a time. ......."

Lalva's face twisted again and he chuckled. The expression on his face showed the difference in perfection between him and the other five.

"If we take you down here, our threat will be reduced by half!

Aeas said excitedly.

"<>, huh?"

Jin D muttered, but no one in the room seemed to be able to understand the phrase, except for Makina.

"...... So you're saying that you didn't intend to discuss this from the beginning?"

The indignant Duke of Jagus.

"That's right. You're a fool to come here so brazenly."

You're all finished here."

Kathol and Suenk mocked.

"Gunnin ......"

"Your Majesty, this way!"

Technical officer Rohr Temp kicks off his seat and rises to his feet, the king at his back.

The Minister of War, Buena Haiti, also stood behind him.

Rokow b. Shiharro seems to be slumped over in his ...... chair. He is pale and trembling.

Jin D and Deus ex Machina quietly get up from their seats. Reiko and Rei are standing by them, respectively.

"Magecraft Meister, Deus ex Machina, you are finished!

The sailor golem in the room takes out a sword from somewhere and holds it in his hand.

But neither Jin D. nor Machina were in the least bit panicked.

"......I understand what you're saying. But, you know, this was all a part of the plan to get some useful information.

Jin D's calm words made Aeas wonder.

"?"

"Did you think we didn't expect you to attack us?"

"Do you think you've underestimated me and Jin that much?"

Jin D. and Makina said to Aeas, or rather to the .

"What?"

5<> looks doubtful. Only Larva's expression did not change.

"Your Majesty, and you, please calm down. A little more this way."

Makina calls the four men from the principality of Jagus to her side.

"What makes you think we're going to be bullied?　It's ......."

Before Jin D could finish, Larva gave the order.

"Get them!"

At about the same time, Jin D. and Makina..,

"Reiko!"

"Reiko!" "Rei!"

were uttered in short bursts. And then they said..,

"<>"

"<>"

and activated a physical and magical barrier.

"Whoa, whoa!"

Two of the sailor golems swung their swords and slammed them down on the Duke of Jagus. The Prince screamed.

But the swords were blocked by an invisible wall 30 centimeters in front of him.

"......?"

"We're surrounded by wards. Don't get too close to me."

Makina explained to the people of the Duchy of Jagus.

Jin D is also smaller than Makina, and is surrounded by his own personal wards.

Reiko and Rei were running wild in all directions.

The twenty sailor golems in the room were decreasing in number.

With a single kick from Reiko, two or three of the sailor golems are blown away.

Rei also used her fists, elbows, and knees to slaughter the sailor golems.

"d*mn it, get on the smaller ones at once!"

Aeas orders the remaining five to attack Reiko.

However, five of them were not enough to take on Reiko.

After Reiko had turned her body around, what remained was not the sailor golem, but its remnants.
