Magicraft Meister Part 1

The old man's suggestion came to him after much thought.

.

Hearing this, Jin nodded.

"I see, that's good. It's not a lie."

"Yes, yes, I like that."

Most of the magi-machines inside the fort have already destroyed themselves. < itself has been deactivated, so even if it wanted to self-destruct, it wouldn't be able to do so.

Jin pondered for a moment, then gave his permission.

"Okay, let's go with that."

* * * *

"......What the hell is going on?"

It was good to send the 10 men out, but after that, nothing happened, and General Carter was getting a bit nervous.

"Attention all besieged!

A loud voice rang out from Fort Crow.

I am the brains behind this fort.

Brain?　What in the world is ......?

Let's hear what he has to say.

General Carter and Chiharad Southee whispered back and forth, then listened carefully.

My raison d'etre is to fight demons and protect humans. My raison d'etre is to fight against demons and protect human beings, not to fight against human beings. But I can't let them destroy us.

When the members of the Royal detachment heard this, they were all upset.

The soldiers who infiltrated the fort were all taken into custody. And we got information from them.

"...... They've been captured after all?"

I think so. I think that if there's a war between humans, humans will settle it between themselves.

"......"

For now, the humans holed up in the fort are in custody as well.

"What?"

General Carter couldn't believe his ears. The Oranges are in custody as well, which means the end of this battle.

We will open the gates now. We have 19 men in custody. Come and pick them up. Then I'll consider my work done and destroy myself.

What?

A fortress that is a precious artifact will destroy itself, and it will be the world's loss. Chiharad became impatient.

As a member of Nostalgia, he wanted to avoid such a situation.

"Wait, wait!"

But his voice did not reach the fortress.

Then I'll open the gate. Come!

Then the voices stopped. At the same time the front gate opened.

"...... what am I to make of this?"

General Carter wondered. The first and most pressing question was whether the declaration could be trusted.

Certainly, the gate was open. But there is no guarantee that it is not a trap.

"It is a difficult question. It is a difficult problem, but it is also an opportunity. The gate has opened.

Chiharad is also troubled and considers what to do.

"I think we have no choice but to let the golem go ahead and check what's going on inside.

"That's right. Unless we take action, nothing will develop.

We reached a consensus and decided to send two general-purpose golems to the site under the guise of receiving prisoners of war.

These general-purpose golems were made by the Nostalgia Party and have a certain level of intelligence.

Chiharad gives the necessary instructions and sends it out.

"When those two come back, we'll have a better idea of what's going on.

I hope so.

They wait for about 10 minutes.

Someone comes running out of the main gate of the fort. He comes running up to me. I braced myself for what I was about to see.　I braced myself, but as I got closer, I saw a familiar face.

"Is that a ...... cougar?"

It was one of the 10 people I had sent out. General Carter and Chiharad greeted him.

"What's going on, man?

Tell me what's going on!

"Yes, sir."

A breathless (・・・・・・) cougar began to explain in halting tones.

He told us that he had dug a hole and infiltrated, that he had split up inside the fort, and that he had been caught in a trap.

"Only I was awakened and sent home to explain. The other nine were put to sleep by magic.

After listening to the explanation, General Carter thought about it. There was no discrepancy between the voice from the fort and the cougar's explanation.

"Oh, yeah. I met with two generic golem-like creatures. They should be coming out soon.

True to his word, the leader, Dohas, and another soldier seem to be carrying them on their backs.

"Well, I guess they weren't lying. "Well, it looks like there were no traps.

General Carter breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm not a hundred percent sure yet. Now let's send out four generic golems and four soldiers. ...... cougar, I'm sorry, but can you go to that fort again?"

He wants to have a cougar with some knowledge of the interior to show him around.

"Sure."

The cougar, Regulus 43, agreed.

And so the four men and four bodies were sent out. ......15 minutes later, the seven remaining detained soldiers and, to the surprise of Oranje, the former Duke, returned carrying the former Duc d'Oranje. They returned carrying the former Duke of Orange.

"Oh, my God!　This is Oranje!"

"Yes. As I said, he was sleeping next to the room where we had been held captive. There are eight more people in the Oranje camp who are asleep.

"Hmm. You were telling the truth. Okay, go again."

"Yes!"

The four men and four bodies head for Fort Crau again. Chiharad has decided to go with them.

"It would be a loss to the world if it destroys itself. I will try to stop it somehow. If I can't do that, I'll try to get one or two artifacts out of there.

"Yes, okay. Please do it."

Thus the five of us and the four of us entered the fort. Chiharad was the only one who had decided to go separately and ransack the various rooms.

Then they heard a voice.

I don't know what you are going to do, but there is nothing left in this fort now, is there?

Chikharad shouted in impatience.

"Oh, no!　What a waste!

Unfortunately, it's true. "It's true, I'm afraid. We can't give it to a world where humans are fighting each other. We can only hand over our heritage to a country comparable to the Kingdom of Dinar.

"......"

Chiharad was speechless. He is a member of the Nostalgia Party, whose philosophy is to recreate lost technologies of the past and apply them to the present and future.

At the same time, he has a longing for the superpower of the past, the Kingdom of Dinar.

Knowing well that the current world situation is very different from that of those days, he could not say anything more.

Yes, there is another person sleeping in the other room. Bring him back too.

"What?"

Chiharad was led away and saw a soldier who had tried and failed to break into the fort.

He fell over the wall and is injured. I took care of him.

So Chiharad carried the soldier on his back and left the fort.

* * * * * * * * *

Thus, a total of 20 people (actually, the cougar is an automaton), including those inside the fort and those of the enemy, went out of the fort.

It seems that not a single human is left. Then my work is done. Descendants of the Kingdom of Dinar. Farewell.

And the voice was never heard again.

General Carter and Chiharad again sent out more than 100 people to investigate the fort, and found 10 of the battle golems They found 10 of the battle golems that had been sent out with the 10 men, but nothing of note was found.

"......I don't know how he did it, but the owner of that voice ......, the self-proclaimed <, made it all disappear, didn't he? ......"

"Yes, I'm very sorry."

"A world where humans fight each other. I guess we're still a work in progress."

General Carter smiled sadly.

The evening sky was beginning to turn red.
