5 The First Battle (2/2)

”Vonix, could you examine the damage?” I asked as I wipe my cold sweat that had moisten my entire head.

[”Positive, one of the robots that got pierce couldn't be used, it need to be smelt and reforged, two of the robots that got thrown off was badly damaged and needed to be repaired and eight of the spear user Robots got light damage and only need slight repair”] Vonix reported.

As I was too inexperienced controlling the Robots individually and time was tight, what I could do the best was to use the human wave tactic or Robot wave tactic in this case.

'Yeah, definitely gonna improve on that.' I clench my fist for my incapability and desire to improve.

Then I order the slightly damaged Robots to carry the three badly damaged Robots to the Assembler Chamber to be repaired.

After all of that was done, I order the Robots to take the boar and bring it to the mansion. As I reach the mansion, the people in the mansion see me in a perplexed and surprised expression. Then a man in butler uniform approaches me with a bewildered look.

”Young Master, Are those Golems? And the thing they are carrying is…”Sebastian's eyes almost popped out for being so shock.

”What is it?” I asked the bewildered Sebastian.

”That creature is the one that has caused casualties among the people, the Giant Tusk Boar.” Said Sebastian speechless.

”Is it? Then it's good that I have taken care of the problem.” I said reassuringly while rubbing my nose.

”Then where does the Golems come from?” asked Sebastian suspiciously.

'Thiss....' I started sweating thinking what I should say to answer the question when suddenly something shines in my head.

”It's a long story, but in short I acknowledged a master and become his disciple,” I said full of confident without any trace of shame.

”A master?” Sebastian warily watch the golem, then as if in a tacit understanding, he nodded his head. ”It's good that Young Master has an excellent master.”

”Talk that aside, could you handle this boar and sell it to a good buyer?” I asked while casting my eye to the boar corpse.

”Of course, Young Master doesn't need to worry.” He said full of confident.

Then I left the boar's corpse in the mansion and order the Robots army to go back and do their job. After that was done, I left the premise while smiling secretly for my brilliant plan.

'Bringing something like Robots and futuristic weapons will bring a lot of suspicion, but by saying that I have a mysterious master will solve the problem in one go, feels like killing two… no three birds with one stone!' I amusingly smile without thinking about the consequence.

Then I go back to the mansion to have dinner and continue my Knight Breathing Technique in the bedroom not knowing the danger that will come because of the Golems and the mysterious master.

Not far from Xendra's territory, in a pathway of a forest, a group of fifty or so well equip bandit was seen, sneaking to the territory with horses. The one leading the group is an imposing man wearing a knight armor without a banner in its chest. Then there is a gloomy middle-aged man with a skull head staff following the man from behind. Suddenly the imposing man open his mouth and said,

”This mission sure is suck, for the Lord to make an official Knight like me to impersonate as a bandit is lowering my pedigree.” Rambling the imposing man nonstop resentfully.

”Barto shut up, this mission is very important! I don't want anything bad happening in this.” The gloomy middle-aged man said harshly.

”Don't get cocky just because you are close with the Lord.” The imposing knight threatens the gloomy middle-aged man with his aura.

”Humpp” the gloomy middle-aged man turns his face away.

'Just you wait until I got 'that', if I get it and got promoted to an official Magus, then even Count Sanchez will need to curry favor to me when that time comes, hehe…' The gloomy middle-age man smirk in his heart with a hidden malicious intent.

Count Sanchez and the gloomy middle-aged man is indeed the one that had been scheming to occupy Xendra's territory four days ago.

As they meet more clearing in the forest, they decided to make a camp as it was already sunset. When the camp has been set and the group of knights starting to eat, they hear a group of creatures coming and start watching from the dark.

'Awooooo….' A sound of a beast howling could be heard from the depth of the forest.

”Damn! A pack of wolves, everyone gets into position.” The imposing Knight Barto commanded as he ready his weapon.

”Yes, Sir!” The knights, that was about to eat before starting to prepare their weapons and got to position as ordered.

'This might take longer and troublesome than expected.' The gloomy middle age man that was watching from behind thought and start casting a spell.

The night isn't as quiet as ever.
