Magicraft Meister Part 1

Tristo Clarotho's face contorted for the first time when he heard that Jin was a witness.

"Hmm, I see. "Hmm, I see... But even if he is, it's no use if he's not here. And I can't say ...... much from the testimony alone.

Still unfaithful, however, he spins his words in a way that teases Paule Raid.

"If you're going to play it cool, I'm ready to play it cool, too.

Pohl glares at him, and Trist responds with contempt.

"Oh?　What kind of determination does a knight of the kingdom of cowards have?

With these words, Pohl finally snaps.

"You ......!　You've got to be kidding me!"

He drew his longsword, which was attached to the saddle of his horse.

"You pulled it out, didn't you?　You were the first to do it, weren't you?"

This was Tristo Clarotho's aim. He wanted to create a situation in which he could say that the Kingdom of Egelea had made the first move.

This was the instruction from the center.

"Golem squad, forward!

Responding to Trist's order, ten battle golems of the Kingdom of Cerroa moved forward.

"It would be heartbreaking to cause human casualties, you know. Why don't you send out your golems as well?

"What ......?"

Pohl led two battle golems. In contrast, the Kingdom of Cerroa had 10.

"Oh, if you're short on numbers, I can match them up for you.　That's chivalry, isn't it?

With a mocking tone, Tristo gestures for the eight battle golems to move back.

"Two against two, fair and square. Is that okay?"

Pohl, looking sideways at Trist, who still didn't seem serious at this point, gave an order to the battle golems.

"Target, destroy the enemy golem!　Go!"

In response, Trist also gave an order.

"Target, enemy Golem. Goal, extermination."

Here began the battle between the battle golems of the two countries.

Since both golems are autonomous, there is no room for humans in this battle. We can only watch from afar, trying not to get involved.

The battle golems of both countries are about the same size, but their speed is different.

The Cerroa golem moves nearly twice as fast as the Egelea golem.

The difference in speed is significant in a combat match. And if they are close in size and weight, being fast is a big advantage.

The Cerroa golem attacked the Egelea golem, taking advantage of its blind spot.

It dodged the Egelerean golem's thrust, moved behind it, and slashed at it with its sword.

When Egelea Golem turns around and swings its sword, Cerroa Golem has already moved out of its reach.

Then, Selroa golem's sword makes a shallow wound on Egelea golem.

It was obvious that he was torturing it.

"Haha, you're not very good, are you? This is the difference between the two.

"Gnuuh ......"

Paule grits his teeth. Behind him, the knights were equally frustrated.

"Captain!　Let us fight, not the golem!"

a bloodthirsty member shouted loudly. But Pohl dismissed him. He may be a hothead, but he's still the captain.

No! Look at their golems. When they come out, humans will be a joke. Remember the tragedy of last year's golem garden party?"

"Ugh......, so we have to sit here and watch our golem being destroyed like this!"

"I don't say so. I don't say that, but I don't ...... have a plan to get out of this situation."

Unlike the frustrated Paule Raid, Tristo Clarotho is smiling broadly.

"If you want, I can use your < golem, if you want."

He provokes her by deliberately using a derogatory term for the all-purpose golem.

Pohl, perhaps unable to resist any longer, gives his order.

"Almighty Golem, battle mode. Target, enemy golem. Defeat them in coordination.

Then, we'll go with you. Go.

The all-purpose Golem is one size smaller than the battle Golem. Its armor is thinner. It weighs less and is lighter.

However, even with this weight difference, they could not outperform the enemy Golem in terms of agility.

"Coordination!　Coordination!　Coordination!

Three consecutive orders were issued in rapid succession, each commanding the three of them to fight one golem at a time.

In response to this order, the versatile Golem takes on one of the three.

As expected, the attacks from three of them could not be handled, and the Cerroa Golem had no choice but to defend itself.

However, in terms of numbers, since the combat golems are fighting one on one, the remaining number is 8 to 20.3 times less than the number of golems.

This means that there is one Selluor Golem that can move freely, and another Selluor Golem that is fighting with two other Golems.

The golem that was playing the role of a ranger was moving freely in all directions.

Just when we thought we had three golems to hold them down, they would attack us from behind, and we would be sent flying away, making our holding them down futile, and so on.

It was obvious that the celluloid side was playing with us.

And the all-purpose golem was even worse in performance.

Egelea Golem's movements became worse and worse. It was being attacked while being played with, and the damage was gradually accumulating.

"I think it's time to end this..."

Trist muttered to himself.

A dagger was pressed against his neck.

"Stop the golem!"

It was a girl who did it. No, it was Dona, Philippe Tifo's female automata.

She stood dexterously behind Tristo's saddle, a dagger at her side.

It seems that she had been approaching Tristo's horse for some time, waiting for an opportunity.

"You ......"

Tristo's face was twisted in hatred.

"Didn't you hear me?　I said stop the golem.

"Commander!"

A soldier of the Frontier Corps rushes toward him. But...

Don't move. If you move, you'll lose your life.

The emotionless voice of the automaton sounds eerie at a time like this. The group stopped.

"Come on."

Threatened again and again, Trist finally gave in.

"...... and stop."

The ten Cerroa golems obeyed his order and stopped moving.

"All right, bring him to me, just like that.

Pohl asked Philip, who looked to Dona. Dona then threatens Trist.

Trist slowly approaches. But then Tristo takes a gamble.

He pulled the reins as hard as he could and made the horse stand on the pole.

Unable to stand, Dona was forced to jump off her horse.

"Golem!　Put them out of action!"

The threat seemed to have pissed Trist off. He gave the golem a no-holds-barred order.

And then...

"Aaahhhh!"

screamed a soldier behind Trist.

What the hell was that?

The knights of the Kingdom of Egelea were staring at the back of Trist, their eyes wide with fear.

Trist was forced to look back at them.

And what did Trist see when he looked back?

Numerous black insects crawling out of the ruins of Soldrake.
