"For an underdeveloped country, you have persevered quite well, haven't you?

Guillermo Marchitas muttered to himself as he looked down from inside his flagship, a 100-meter class <.

The moon is about to reach the mid-sky.

< airships had been destroyed.

One crash-landed and the other crashed. There was no pursuit. They decided that the first priority was to destroy the capital city of Mahaliegh.

< owned by the has been destroyed, and the members who may have been inside are buried alive in underground shelters.

Without help, they would have lasted a week at most. They may have stockpiled water and food, but even so, it is finite.

The royal castle is half destroyed. The royal family is not known if they are alive or dead.

More troublesome for Guillermo Marchitas was the <>.

It is a group of worshippers of matter and technology. No wonder Guillermo Marchitas was so keen on them.

"Not to be underestimated."

Guillermo Marchitas thought that the engineer who led the four golems to defend the gates was quite good.

"......U...... head."

Lately, Guillermo Marchitas had been suffering from headaches with increasing frequency.

And with each headache, his will became more confused.

But he is surrounded only by golems, and no <> to care for him. .......

* * * *

"d*mn, there are twenty of them, that's too many!"

Twenty enemy battle golems are waiting outside the door. It has driven those holed up in the warehouse to the brink of despair once again.

Go!

Now they have no choice but to fight. Gloma Toray ordered the special golem.

The special golem rushes forward and leaps at the enemy golem just outside the door.

"Good!"

One of the features of this special golem is that it is . It weighs 1.5 times as much as a conventional golem. The power was doubled to compensate for this.

This made it easy to bounce off enemy golems.

The special golem then attacked the nearest enemy golem.

It strikes the head with the mace in its hand.

If the sensors that control vision go haywire, it is easy to counter the attackers. This was a strategy that was discovered at the expense of four prototype golems.

A hard blow to the waist of an enemy golem whose movement has slowed down will cause the upper and lower body to fail to work in tandem, further slowing down the movement of the enemy golem.

Finally, if you destroy either of the left or right knee joints, the golem will become immobile and the immediate danger will be averted.

Three special golems are dealt with in this way.

"Okay, that's good!"

But after the fourth golem, the enemy golem seems to have learned. They avoid, bounce, and dodge the mace aimed at their heads.

"d*mn, they've learned to deal with us!"

Groma looks frustrated. The special golem is now surrounded by five of them.

But it is not without options.

"Then, attack pattern 2!

Then you give the following instructions. Pattern 2 is a ranged magic attack.

A purple electric charge is sent out, and the stench of ozone wafts through the air.

The special golem then fires a high-voltage lightning bolt.

The special golem hurls them at its surroundings, including itself.

This is especially effective against golems with metallic exteriors. The electric blasts that are applied to the golem's body are released to the earth, but in the process, the joints, which have a high resistance value, generate heat due to Joule heat. The joints on the exterior are then welded together.

The special golem created by Groma-Toray was designed to prevent the joints from having a high resistance value and was able to withstand this attack.

A golem with a welded exterior becomes instantly sluggish.

The special golem quickly incapacitated the five surrounding golems.

"That's eight ......!

That's amazing!

It was worth all the effort!

But there are still more than half of them left.

"I could have managed to get at most 10 of them."

The remaining 12 were wary of the , a ranged attack, and had switched to a strategy of attacking one after the other.

Even so, two attacks crippled two of them. Now there were only 10 left.

"I'm still in a tough spot.

In order to release powerful , I need a high-performance ether converter and a mana driver.

However, with the materials available now, it is difficult to use the two systems in parallel, so the mana tanks were also used.

The mana tank was almost empty after three s.

"The only thing left is the pattern 3 ...... method!"

The special golem headed toward the enemy combat golem again.

It was a matter of course to move around so that it could be one-on-one as much as possible, moving little by little from in front of the warehouse. This would ensure the safety of the evacuees, but it would also be bad if they were too far away from each other to be able to rescue them in case of emergency.

In a difficult situation, the special golem did a good job.

"If there were at least two more ...... or even one more..."

The special golem, which had been struggling alone, took damage little by little.

They had already used their spare shields, but those shields were now halfway useless.

Finally, with only five golems remaining, he reached his limit.

The left arm was ripped off along with the shield of the special golem.

The mace on his right arm was no longer enough to stop the attack, and he was immediately attacked. It was only a matter of time before it was destroyed.

"............!"

A frustrated Groma. And most of the people, including Cacea, were in despair.

"Oh, God, I can't ...... ...... anymore."

Whenever someone mutters this, the feeling becomes contagious, and finally many of them fall to their knees.

As they are about to do so, an enemy golem approaches them.

"d*mn!　<

Someone who can use earth magic made a pitfall appear. The enemy golem falls into the pitfall. ......, but it is only stalling for time.

The Groma's special golem is almost immobilized, and two more enemy golems are approaching.

"<>!

However, there is a time lag of about one second before the magic is activated, and in that one second, the two Golems move two meters to the side. <

"Run!"

The only thing the researchers could do was to run away. But the speed of the human was too slow compared to that of the combat golem.

"Aah!"

Ka-cea, who was running at the rear of the group, stumbled and fell down.

"Aaah!"

An enemy golem is approaching, and a club is being thrown down. Katya closed her eyes and prepared herself.

That's when it happened.

"d*mn it, I won't let you do it!

Eira returns and hits the enemy golem with her body, and the club goes off of Katya and strikes the ground.

"<>!"

Eira touches the golem and desperately releases engineering magic. The enemy Golem's torso was twisted.

"We did it! ......!"

Her relief is short-lived. Although it is twisted, it does not mean that it has stopped moving.

"Whoa!"

The enemy golem bounced off Eira. Eira flew three meters into the air, and was knocked unconscious by the ground.

Then, the golem, with its twisted torso, attacked Katya again, though its movement was slowed down.
