60 [1-60] Its not 13km. (2/2)

”I will not ...... allow it.

”f*ck you, ......!

The sound of gears creaking.

The creaking of gears. * * * The creaking of gears. The scraping of tangents.

That was the battle cry of the golems.

The cobblestoned ground pulsated like the belly of a beast. The golems who were about to step out almost fell and stopped.

The liches were manipulating the terrain with their earth magic, preventing them from moving as they wished.

The golem's powerful arms would not be stopped just because its footwork was disrupted.

With each swing of its huge gray-silver arm, several undead are blown away in their entirety, becoming real corpses that cannot move.

As if to weave between the two rampaging golems, arrows coated with holy water flew from the castle walls and pierced the undead.

But the undead soldiers were many, and they were fearless.

The undead, having dodged the giant arms, claw at the legs and climb up the body. They aim for the drives and the heads where the sensors are clustered.

”Shoot them down!

The order came from the gate tower, and arrows flew at the undead attached to the golem. One by one, the purified undead fell.

It's not easy for a small army. ......

The ghouls commanding the surrounding area were reporting the battle situation to Alastor.

In the meantime, you'll be able to find a lot of people who are interested in your company.

”It's no use. ...... Will you try?

”I'll do my best.

At Alastor's command, a ghoul begins to move.

He is pale skinned and dressed in a kimono. His hair is tied up high on the back of his head.

It is not an officially recognized race name by the Adventurer's Guild, but if you were to give it a monster name, you might call it a ”ghoul samurai” or ”ghoul kengou. ...... Its former name is Udanosuke.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

The arm of the Phoenix approaches as if it were cleaving the earth. The soldiers around the ghoul are blown away.

The armor is thick and solid. ......

Udanosuke leaps as if he has no weight, ducks under the arm, and slides under the Phoenix's feet and through its legs.

”Geishaaaaaaah!

The katana swung as sharply as a bolt of lightning.

”Phoenix's right leg was severed at the knee.

The mithril coffin-like leg parts rolled away, and the Phoenix, who had lost his balance, barely stood on his knees.

”What the hell?

A louder voice of surprise echoed in front of the castle gate.

”Hmm. The joints are fragile. It's just like the nesting dolls in front of the wind.

Udanosuke sheathes his katana against the ugliness of the golem.

At first glance, it seems like a meaningless move, but after the decisive blow, it is his ingrained style to thoroughly dress up and discourage his opponent's will to fight.

The target of the attack is the opponent's mind. This is part of the samurai's fighting technique. It was called zanshin.

Udanosuke, a master of katana, could cut through mithril with his skill.

The undead have increased his physical abilities, and his power has reached new heights. ...... In exchange for a heart of justice that respects the honor of the samurai.

If you're not sure what you want to do, here are some tips to help you get started.

In the event that you've got a golem, you'll be able to use the golem's support equipment, such as infantry or small golems, to interfere with the golem, and the main golem will finish it off. The Golem Corps of the Gilesh Hathar Federation has been organized with this in mind.

But Ciel-Teira didn't have that kind of power or know-how.

In the first place, the Knights did not expect anyone other than Rene to be strong enough to fight against the golems.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I've been so impressed with your work.

”You did it. Well done.

It's too early for praise. I've got three legs left that I need to cut.

...... Or maybe two. I don't know if one is enough. Vulnerable!

The phoenix is now unable to move properly, and the undead soldiers are attacking it at once.

”There was no time for Naglfar to pluck them off, or to shoot them down with covering fire. They climbed up to his head and thrust their swords into him, destroying the sensors in his head. They also plunged their weapons into the gaps between the joints of the limbs, making them immobile and destroying the mechanisms.

Gradually, the Phoenix's movements became erratic, and eventually it stopped moving altogether.

”Get Naglfar to the gate!　If we move too far, we'll fall prey!

The drawbridge was already rolled up and the gates were blocked.

The gates are already blocked, and Naglfar has backed up to a position where he can stand against them.

This is a position where Naglfar can be protected by attacks from the gate towers and the side protection towers, but Naglfar cannot go to attack the undead soldiers that are attached to the walls.

If you protrude them, they will die in vain, and if you protect them at hand, they will not work. It's a dilemma. In the end, you'll have to make him stand at the gate and guard it.

”Very well. All you have to do is keep attacking and stall the defenders. It'd be great if we could damage the defenders.

”Yes, sir. If there's a chance, I'll dismantle that golem of yours.

”Think about your own safety, too.　You will continue to be needed and served by the princess.

I understand, that I do.

The ghoul who was ordered to teach him swordsmanship looked at the west side of the castle wall.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand.
