Although < was barely able to defend against two combat golems with the support of Eira and Groma, it was unable to support a third golem, However, when the third golem appeared, it was beyond their ability to support.
"<>!"
In vain, the third one came out and knocked <> to the floor.
"d*mn it, Eira, run!
"Run where? !"
Groma stands between Eira and the battle golem, but is easily caught.
"Get off of me!
With both arms firmly grasped, there is no escape. He tries to kick the golem with his free leg, but his human kick cannot do any damage.
"Groma!"
You idiot! Eira, get out of here!
You're not going anywhere!
It's like this.
With golems blocking both sides of the passage, Eira and the others were trapped in a rat's nest.
But...
"......?"
Gloma Trey noticed that the golem holding him was docile.
It was true that he was caught at the base of both arms and could not move very much, but he was not in any pain.
In other words, it was not being held by force.
If the golem wielded its power, it could easily tear Groma's arms off. .......
But Eira was different.
Two battle golems have Eira cornered against the wall.
Both of them raised their massive arms at the same time.
If they were to strike down, Eira would be reduced to a mute lump of flesh.
"Eira!
Groma shouts.
But the golem's arm does not swing down.
The two battle golems are separated at the waist, and the upper and lower halves are separated in tears. ....... The upper body fell to the floor, while the lower body stood still and stopped moving.
And the golem holding Groma also fell to the floor, its arms cut off and its torso cut in half.
"You are ......"
"I'm glad I got here just in time."
A full-face helmet, silver and white light armor covering his entire body.
Ice blue eyes are visible under the raised faceplate.
"Squire Rey, sir."
Mr. Gromma, Eira, is it? Are you hurt?
Yes, I'm fine, thanks to you.
Yes, thanks to you. - That's great. First of all, let's get out of here.
It was a leisurely conversation, but that was to be expected.
The two small golems that Sho Norisi of the Kingdom of Selroa and Areo Yoka Knights of the World Guard were dealing with had already been neutralized.
Sho Noriji and Areo Yoka Knights carried the two unconscious men on their backs, and the group quickly escaped out of the fort.
It is still night outside.
The moon hung high in the western sky, indicating that dawn was still far away.
"Oh, that's..."
"<>, wasn't it? The deus ex machina III, wasn't it?"
Eira mutters in a relieved voice.
The <> has landed on the plain next to the fort.
In front of it stood the deus ex machina III.
"All right, guys, I'll explain later. Get in."
And with those words, they all obeyed.
"Okay, let's take off!"
After confirming that everyone is on board, the <> takes off.
Immediately after that, a fireball is fired from the fort, landing where <> had just landed a few seconds before.
"That was a close call. That much fire didn't scare off, though."
Deus ex machina III muttered to himself as he looked out.
Aristotle continues to ascend, and comes to a standstill at an altitude that the firebullet cannot reach. The height is about 200 meters.
"We know that there is a facility of the old Dinaric Kingdom under Fort Rutgula. We came here to neutralize it, but we didn't expect it to be like that."
Makina III explains to Gromma and the group.
There is a facility on an island south of Kupu that was used during the <>.
There is also an underground facility here in the basement of Fort Rutgula that dates back to the same time period.
< of are apparently controlled by a magical brain.
It seems that the magic brain has instructed them to take materials from the on the southern island of Kupu and use them to repair this .
That there may be people who have misused the facilities on the southern island of Kupu.
"And the magical brain at Fort Rutgula is a bit out of control."
I didn't know that.
That's why I flew in to take what I could.
Thanks to you, I was saved.
While we were having this conversation, a flying object was launched from Fort Rutgula.
But it was easily blocked by 's .
"Hmm, looks like a long-range arrow."
"I'm surprised they can reach 200 meters up in the air."
Gloma Trey is amazed at Makina III's explanation.
"The former Kingdom of Dinar was the most advanced in magical science in the history of Ars.
"There must be a lot to learn from them."
After that, <> was no longer in motion, so <> decided to leave for the moment.
His destination was Esia, the capital of the Kingdom of Cerroa.
Dawn is beginning to break, and the clouds are beautifully burnt.
The land and mountains are tinted with the morning glow (morgenrot).
