The emergency exit door blows open and two golems attack the king and prince. But...
I won't let them!
The copper-colored maid golem blocked the attack.
Lotte!
Lotte blocked the attacker's fist with her slender limbs, and even threw the attacker away.
Her arm was slightly dented, but she didn't care about that, and took on the other one, twisting its arm up and successfully ripping off its arm.
Then he grabbed the other arm and threw it away.
Lotte turns to the kings and tells them what is happening.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness. It seems that most of the golems in the castle are out of control.
* * * *
An avalanche of battle golems, including guard golems and knight golems, have just come in from other entrances and exits.
Jin and Bina are inside the barrier and do not feel any attacks from the golems. In such a state,
"Beena, are you okay?
"No, no, no, what the hell happened?"
Jin lightly tapped Beena on the shoulder to calm her down,
"Calm down. "Just stay with me and you'll be fine," he told her.
He explained the current situation to her.
I think all the golems in the castle have been taken over.
"What?
Jin then briefly told them about the golem he and Reinhardt had met, <>.
"The magic I felt this time was hundreds, if not thousands of times stronger. Moreover, <> and <> twice. You know what this means, don't you?"
Bina nodded her head with a blue face,
"Yes. It means that ...... you don't know who you're dealing with, but you're only taking orders from that someone, right?"
"Yes. Maybe only my and Reinhardt's were not taken over."
He pauses for a moment and then says, "I don't know if I can say that we're lucky,
"I don't know if it can be called fortunate, but the only thing you could have done with the write-in would have been a simple order. I mean, like ...... to go on a rampage, or attack humans."
* * * *
"Black Knight, destroy him!"
Like Jin, Reinhard analyzed the situation and concluded that it was a very bad situation. It was unlikely that everyone in the hall would be able to help, so Reinhardt looked for Erza and Count Kuzma. They had been lost in the initial confusion.
Reinhardt looks around and gives orders to the black knight (Schwarzlitter).
He has just knocked down a knight golem from the outside.
Pick up his sword. Pick up his sword. ...... Come here."
With a little time to spare, Reinhard had the black knight pick up his sword. Now he has a means of attack.
"Elsa! Luis! Where are you? Are you safe?
Reinhard calls out to Erza and Count Kuzma. In answer,
"Reinhard! I'm safe!"
Hearing that voice, he is relieved, but just as he is relieved, a golem attacks the Count.
"The Black Knight!
A golem tries to attack Count Kuzma, and cuts off one of <>'s legs just in time.
"Sorry, thank you."
He runs to Count Kuzma and tells him to stay next to him,
"Barrier!"
He activates the protection ring given to him by Jin. The two are now safe for the time being.
What about Erza?
Then the next concern is Erza.
Erza was isolated.
Thanks to the protection ring that Jin gave her, she is not injured, but she is surrounded by golems.
"Rai brother ...... Jin, you ......"
Because of the barrier, the golems stopped 30 centimeters in front of Erza, but she was so anxious inside that she was about to cry.
Most of the nobles have no idea what's going on, and half of them are either knocked unconscious or lying on the floor, badly wounded from the blows of their own golem, which was close by.
"Ceres! It's me! Don't you understand?
Celes, the crystal golem of Magecraftsman Stearina of the Kingdom of Celluloid, was no exception to the rule.
However, its body is made of crystal and is vulnerable to impact.
A swinging hand collides with another golem that happens to be passing by, and it shatters.
"Ah! Celes!"
As he swung his remaining arm around more, he hit a wall and finally lost both of his arms. Ste-Alaina, no longer in danger of being hit, clings to Celes and says, "Please!
"Please! Please stop! I don't want to see you broken!"
With these words, Stearina used her engineering magic.
"Write-in".
Only Jin and the mysterious golem can use <> at the moment. Therefore, Stearina chose "write-in" as a means to stop <>.
This messed up the control order and Ceres was stopped.
In a moment of relief, Stearina was hit in the head by a golem from behind, and she lost consciousness. At the same time, Ceres was also destroyed by the golem.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Aaah!
At the center of the scream is a . Even though it does not carry a sword, its massive tower shield, which is as tall as a man, is a deadly enough weapon by its mass alone.
With one swing, three or four men could be blown away.
"No, stop, <>!
Jade Nephroy, the magecraftsman of the <>, tried desperately to stop the <>.
But there was no stopping him. Finally, the tower shield wielded by the grazed Jade's arm and blood spurted out.
"Ow!
It was only a graze, but Jade turned blue and ran away. However, there was another golem waiting for him.
Fortunately for Jade, the golem was female-form. The blow only broke his ribs.
However, the pain caused Jade to collapse on the spot, coughing up blood and fainting.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Your Majesty! Your Highness! Are you all right?
At last, the Kingsguard rushes in. There were 15 of them. Their armor is covered with scratches here and there.
No wonder, they had fought dozens of golems just to get to this hall.
"Don't spread out! Move in groups of three!"
The captain instructed. Each of us was in charge of a 120-degree radius, and we moved slowly forward.
You must rescue not only kings and princes, but also the prime ministers, finance ministers, defense ministers, and other important figures of the state.
"Uh-oh! It's coming!
Shit!
One of the Kingsguard knights has just slashed at the shiny golden golem that had attacked the fat count. But it appears to be stronger than it looks and only inflicts a shallow wound.
On the other hand, the knight's sword had spilled its blade.
"d*mn, so it's not all as it seems!"
The golem's target was turned from the fat count to the knights by the slash.
"It's coming, watch out!"
The three knights gripped their swords and prepared for battle.
* * * *
"d*mn it! Get out of my way!
The captain of the Kingsguard, Kelly, is now linked with the created by Bina's master, Gladia Hampton.
It is a problem because he is holding a sword that belonged to a guard golem that has already been defeated.
Even a normal guard golem is about a head taller than a human and has a longer reach. It weighs three to five times as much as a human and is three to five times stronger.
The custom-made , though described by Jin as , is still more powerful than the security golem. It is only a knight captain that can keep them on an even keel, but it is impossible for a mere member.
Equal, equal, equal.
The hall was a place where chaos reigned and the sounds of screams and metal and the smell of iron mingled together.
Most of the participants were wounded or unconscious, and the unlucky ones were already out of breath.
In the midst of all this, the counterattack was finally about to begin.
