Clearing away a blanket of snow ...... is very difficult in a case like this, where there is no space to work.
First of all, we needed to clear the snow, even if it was only enough for one golem.
How could we do that? Mr. Fritz thought about it. And then he realized something.
The Great Divide River flows to the west of the town of Lockyago. Its water was not frozen even in winter.
Then it occurred to Mr. Fritz that it would be a good idea to dump snow in this river.
"Okay, let's do something about the snow on that riverbank first.
A two-meter square area is nothing to worry about.
The method Fritz adopted was <>.
"<>!"
Mr. Fritz is also a mage and can use fire magic. With his <>, the snow melted away in an instant.
However, Mr. Fritz keeps shooting fireballs in succession.
This is because, in such a case, it is not enough to melt the snow.
The melted snow becomes water, which freezes again and becomes ice. Ice can be even worse than snow.
So Mr. Fritz kept shooting fireballs at it until it evaporated.
Thanks to his efforts, the snow within a radius of about 2 meters evaporated, revealing the surface of the ground ...... riverbed.
"Okay, drop a golem!"
First of all, we deployed one of the golems we had brought with us.
The Golem drops snow from the riverbed into the Great Divide River at a tremendous speed. In no time at all, about 10 meters square of snow is gone.
"All right, let's drop all the golems!"
Makina-san, who had been watching the scene, decided that Fritz-san could handle the situation, and flew away to another area.
"Well, that's just what I expected of you, Mr. Fritz. Golem descending too!"
Gloria saw what Fritz was doing, was impressed by his rational approach, and decided to cooperate as well.
The ten golems quickly created a space of about 100 meters by 200 meters on the riverbank. The two airships were finally able to land.
If the airships could not land, not only Fritz and his team but also the following units would not be able to unload the relief supplies. It was important to secure the airfield.
"Well done, Mr. Fritz!
The captain, Mr. Fritz, and his second-in-command, Gloria, were able to meet each other.
Then came the next step.
First of all, we have to make our way from the banks of the Great Divide River, where we are now, to the town of Lockyago. What is the most efficient way to do that?
Fritz has a great idea.
It was to have the golem make .
The snow falling now is wet snow, and snowballs can be easily made. Mr. Fritz ordered the Golem to make snowballs and throw them into the river.
"Oh, I see. Mister Fritz is very smart.
Gloria is impressed.
The golems make snowballs as big as 3 meters and roll them into the river.
As they roll the snowballs, the snow gets harder and harder. The volume of the hardened snow is much smaller than the snowballs, so the amount of snow that can be carried in one golem is much larger than the snowballs that are still snow.
With 10 golems working, a road to the town of Lockgaard was made in 2 hours.
The town of Lockgaard is closed by heavy snow and not a single person is left. No, not a single person could come out.
It snowed so hard in the middle of the night that we couldn't even get out of the house when we came to.
Now, things get even busier.
Golem and the others, using the shovels they had prepared for shoveling snow, cleared the roads and the roofs at the same time.
At this point, the residents finally realized that help had arrived.
