The enemy is quite good, isn't he?

Refa shouted in admiration.

Five rocks and a castle hammer had just exploded almost simultaneously into the <.

The impact destabilized the magi-machine that generated the boundary for a moment.

Due to the low concentration of free magical element (ether), the desired output has not been obtained.

All of the magi machines inside the fortress were made according to the concentration of free magical element (ether) at the time of the Great Magic War. Therefore, their output was unstable at the free-magic element (ether) concentration of the present age.

However, at the normal level, the technology was so advanced that it was out of step with the current era, and the fortress was supposed to be impenetrable.

It is dangerous if the load exceeds a certain level.

So Refa decided to advise Oranje.

"Mr. Oranjee, let's have them attack from our side too.

"Yes?　I agree with that, but how?

Yes, we'll have the golem throw rocks at them from the fort.

But the warding?

Yes. The warding will be lifted for a moment, in time with the timing of the projectile.

Oranje was satisfied with this explanation.

"Hmm, interesting. Go ahead, do it!"

I'm on it.

I'm on it.

Five simultaneous attacks were made by five ballistas and a battering ram.

"It's working. The warding seems to be a little unstable.

Chiharad Souto, a technician of the Nostalgia Party, sensed the change in the wards with his keen senses.

"Two or three more repetitions will probably break it," he said.

"Yes, I hope so."

It was then that General Carter replied.

"Enemy golem on the fort!

A soldier shouted.

"What?

There were six battle golems lined up on the roof of the fort, holding rocks the size of a man's head in their hands.

"Don't tell me they're going to throw those things at us?　How can they do that when there are wards ......?"

General Carter wondered, but Chiharad quickly realized the enemy golem's intentions.

"Ballista!　Breaking hammer!　Fall back quickly!"

But Ballista was preparing to fire the rock and could not retreat immediately. However, it would still take a little over a minute to fire the rock.

Only the hammer started to retreat, but then...

The enemy golem threw a rock from the rooftop.

"Oh no!

Chiharad knew that for that moment, the warding was lifted. If only we had one more ballista ready to fire,...... he bit his navel, but it was too late.

The rocks thrown by the enemy golem hit five ballistas. The castle hammer escaped damage.

This left one ballista disabled, two moderately damaged, and two slightly damaged.

"Leave the broken ballista alone!　Lower the four!"

General Carter shouted loudly when he saw the enemy golem trying to throw the rock again.

And throw again.

Two ballista managed to escape in time, but the remaining two were hit again, rendering them unusable.

"I didn't know they could do that!

General Carter was frustrated, but there was nothing he could do.

"In this case, let's just attach long-range arrows to the remaining ballistas and have them ready to fire at any time," Chiharad suggested.

Chiharad suggested.

We set up a distance of 250 meters, which is as close as we can get, and aim at the fort with the ballista with the arrows attached.

When the golem of the fort throws stones at the fort, the warding will be lifted, and the arrow will be fired at the right moment.

By leaving the ballista operation to the golem, the golem can stay on standby at all times.

However, it seems that the fortress side has noticed this strategy, and the four golems have withdrawn, leaving the two golems with rocks.

The two camps are now staring at each other. It is truly a two-sided situation.

.

After the old man finished his long explanation, Jin let out a small sigh.

"Well, I guess one problem after another is bound to occur. ......"

"Father, let's leave it alone and build a spaceship."

Reiko suggested in response to Jin's sigh.

"What's a spaceship?"

Elsa responded.

"Well, I've always wanted to go to space. You know, the moon in this world is a mystery, and the long-period planets are said to be coming back soon. < is flying properly, they will be able to build a spaceship, right?

Somehow, it looks like a husband who buys a hobby without his wife's permission.

"I want to go to ......."

"What?"

Jin wondered if he had heard wrong.

"You want to go to... To space."

What a surprise, Erza had a longing for space, too.

"Of course!　I want to go to space!　Yes!"

I don't know what was < about it, but Jin's excitement rose to the top of his lungs.

At that moment, the old man said something unexpected.

"Really?"

Elsa was also intrigued.

We've been waiting for the right moment to report them to you.

"Great!"

Jin praised him with open arms.

"Then Erza won't complain."

"...... what?"

Erza, who was listening to this exchange between the old man and Jin, felt as if she had been hit on the head.

(......Wa,me?　...... like that, I thought.)

<>

"Oh, isn't that great!"

"I see. You've done a great job."

>

>> "Yes. Well, at first, we'll probably use a golem as a crew and work out the safety ...... and habitability of the spacecraft."

"So, the specs.

"So, the specifications ......."

Jin is happily working out the specifications of the spaceship with the old man.

But Elsa, who is standing nearby, hears nothing. No, she can hear, but she can't understand.

(I ...... I ...... such ......)

Pale Elsa fell down on her face.
