Ilmar Rag, the new commander of the Iron Corps, stared straight ahead with devastated eyes.

The batalion unit they believed in was destroyed in vain.

The iron golem is an extreme weapon that will kill allies if it is not destroyed immediately upon discovery.

As before, the batalion troops poured excitium into the iron golem’s chest.

This is because there is a magical power source that moves the steel golem, or core.

Not too long ago, even steel golems wouldn’t work if their chests were punctured.

But what is this?

The steel golem did not stop despite the gunmen’s concentrated fire.

The reason soon became apparent.

This is because the excitium that hit the point where the core is is bounced off.

The iron golem walked in front of the batalion troops with holes pierced in its torso.

In the process, the two steel golems stopped working, but that wasn’t enough.

The Goliaths stormed off—with no support from the panicked Batalion troops—but were dismembered in the blink of an eye.

Soon after, even the batalion troops were severed by the light of death fired by the steel golem.

With the exception of the Batalion unit and Goliath, the rest of the Steel Legion is the same as in the past.

It is a futile delusion to stop an iron golem with cavalry and swordsmen and a few muskets.

I can’t just sit back and wait to die.

The cavalry charged and the swordsmen followed, and then they fled in all directions like a swarm of locusts.

As the swordsman fled, the corps commander requested magic artillery fire from the artillery brigade via magic communication.

“The Batalion troops were annihilated by the steel golem! Fire the magic cannon at the front contact field! To fire magic cannons at the Iron Legion!”

―…I wish you luck.

The Artillery Brigade did not ask twice when they heard that the batalion unit had been annihilated.

It was because he had to do so in order to protect the crown prince, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force.

Soon after, magic cannons flew from the rear of the expeditionary force and fell to the forefront.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Kwak-!

Clouds of dust rose and covered the iron golem and the iron legion.

The Imperial Army Artillery Brigade’s magical artillery fire continued for 10 minutes.

As the dust settled, the situation on the battlefield came into view at a glance.

Between the corpses of the Iron Legion, a huge iron golem stood like a pylon.

As the Imperials looked at it with high hopes, a red light flashed in the eyes of the steel golem, which was darkly shaded as if it were dead.

thud! thud! thud! coo-!

Steel golems walked towards the center of the Imperial army.

The 31st Division in the center blocked the front without avoiding it. This is to give the 1st Army Group and the 33rd Division, where the crown prince is located, time to retreat.

The 1st Army Group also had a Phantom Unit and a Shadow Unit armed with Excitium, but the General Headquarters decided to retreat.

This is because they decided to start by figuring out the cause of the destruction of the Batalion unit.

On that day, the imperial army, which was defeated at Pheromuros, retreated as far as 20 kilometers.

Northwest of Peromuros.

small town Cervo.

News of the shocking defeat of the Imperial Army was soon spread throughout the Adrian Kingdom.

When Fabian heard the outcome of the battle from Baron Sofia Orlova, he hurried back to his quarters.

“Sir Lagoa! The southern kingdom army won a great victory!”

“A big win?”

“Yes, the Imperial Army Steel Corps and the 33rd Division were annihilated, and the prince’s troops retreated 20 kilometers back. And that in just one day.”

Elio widened his eyes.

It was a great thing that the headquarters of the expeditionary force retreated 20 kilometers in one day.

“The 33rd division is where the Rhinos unit is…”

“Does anyone know there?”

Elio told Fabian about how Viscount Pain Marcus had been looking for him.

“…If it wasn’t for Lieutenant Rhinos, you would have become an idiot by now.”

“I’m sorry. You seem like a nice person.”

“When you see it at a time like this, the sky is so indifferent. Wouldn’t it be nice if we picked only the bad guys and took them?”

“I mean.”

Elio, who was staring at the street with a bitter face, murmured.

“By the way, 20 kilometers a day… you mean you ran away without looking back?”

“It deserves it. To believe that the Steel Legion was annihilated.”

“Are you saying that the Southern Kingdom’s new material was so effective?”

“If you apply artenium near the steel golem’s core, it won’t break through. They say that if you hit the same spot twice, the intensity is significantly weakened… How can it be easier said than done to hit the same spot twice?”

“So what about the damage of the steel golem?”

“A total of 30 aircraft participated, and 3 were destroyed. It’s a crazy criminal record when you think about the past.”

“The Battalion troops didn’t just get hit, either.”

It was commendable enough to destroy three units in the absence of Artenium’s information.

“Looking back, the southern kingdom allied forces are poised to push as far as the island (Petropolis). The goal is to dismantle the empire. Shouldn’t we take a step too?”

“why? Should I ask for a duchy after the war?”

“Didn’t the commander of the Skull Corps in the Adria Kingdom say that it could be? With the current atmosphere, the southern kingdom army could go all the way to the islands, right?”

“Did you forget? Who is behind this war? Are you going to let the ‘vanguard of chaos’ do just that?”

“By the way, the Empire has no means to stop the Iron Golem, right?”

“You have excitium.”

“Didn’t you block it with artenium?”

“The Imperial Army was only one Battalion unit. Didn’t you hear that there is a unit armed with excitium in the prince’s first group army?”

“It would be nonsense to see that the 1st Army Group also retreated helplessly.”

“They must have run away in surprise when they saw that the Batalion troops were massacred. But the Imperial Army must have figured out how to deal with Artenium by now, right?”

“Wouldn’t it have known if the 1st Army had all been armed with excitium? One or two units is not enough. I’ll take enough and destroy 6 units. But the 1st Army will be annihilated by the iron golem. If the exchange rate is that high, isn’t it a loss to the imperial army the more we fight?”

“What I’m worried about is more Imperial troops armed with excitium.”

“yes? Could it be?”

“If you were the crown prince, which would you choose between the dissolution of the empire or the supply of Excitium?”

“It’s true that the Empire has a lot of money, but it won’t be enough to arm all of the Imperial Army with Excitium. I don’t know, but I’ll be ruined before then.”

“That’s true… but I don’t think the Empire will be left alone.”

“We will try to supply more acitium to the imperial army. But there is a limit to that too…. In the end, both hands and feet will be used. So it’s better to put one foot in the southern kingdom…” ”

Why do you keep putting your foot in it? Did Baron Orlova order it?”

“Why is Baron Sophia here? And what about Baron Orlova? indifferently Do you call Lagoa by name too?”

“I don’t have the heart to be friendly with Baron Orlova yet, so don’t force it.”

“Ah, now that I’ve met him, I’m not a very calculating person. Rather, he is sacrificial and soft like the flesh of a banana.”

“Your eyes are covered with bean pods properly.”

“Sir Lagoa, throw away your preconceived notions. Sir Lagoa hated Baron Sophia for no reason from the beginning, didn’t he?”

“Why is there no reason? She’s the girl who seduced you on the morning of the first day we met and attacked you.”

“Because it’s not like that. To be honest, I seduced you first.”

“Yes, you would think so. Dumb guy.”

“Oh, I can’t really open my chest and show you. It’s very frustrating.”

“It’s okay, go and say goodbye.”

At the word goodbye, Fabian’s eyes widened.

“Are you leaving Cervo?”

“You must have known the greatness of the new material, there is nothing more to do here. I should go to Krasion Castle and meet the king of Adria Kingdom.”

“why?”

Elio shook his head excitedly when Fabian asked with a stupid face.

“Look at this. Are you living out of your mind? men and horses! If you know that artenium is something that will change the world, what should you do now? Shouldn’t we find out who sold that precious thing to the southern kingdom?”

“ah!”

Fabian belatedly nodded.

My face flushed at the fact that I had forgotten such a simple and obvious thing. “I’m still

suffering from the aftereffects of mental magic…”

You’re crazy about women. Aww! I feel sorry for the people of Slash Land who will serve a guy like you as their lord.”

“That is a real misunderstanding. Did you see what I said about Miss Sarah after we left the North? When you go back to the North, you won’t even think about the South.”

“I am proud.”

“There is no shame in living passionately. Lord Lagoa Live your life a little hot. Don’t be like the old man.”

“You are a slave to pleasure, not passion.”

“How about pleasure? Pleasure is also a pleasure granted by the god Manaptras.”

“Ah yes. You come and enjoy a lot of pleasure. Don’t forget to buy a stagecoach ticket to Krasion when you come. Again, if you don’t get a stagecoach ticket and say something else, I’ll leave alone.”

“Nothing else. This is the ‘Knight of the Rift’, the pride of the North. I’ll just get a ticket for the stagecoach and return right away.”

Fabian left T-pop in a hurry, fearing that Count Elio Lagoa would nag him.

***

Adriatic kingdom.

The outskirts of the Maghreb.

The Maghreb, 20 kilometers away from the steel city of Feromuros, is also the border between the Adria Kingdom and the Shade Kingdom.

The quiet Maghreb was suddenly crowded with Imperial troops.

This is because even the battle divisions of the Imperial Army stationed near Feromuros followed the General Headquarters down to the Maghreb.

Expeditionary Force General Headquarters.

Commander-in-Chief Louis Fraser III listened to the chief of staff’s report with a hard face.

“…The Iron Legion and the 33rd Division Expeditionary Cavalry Battalion were annihilated. Half of Army Group 1’s swordsmen are either dead or missing. And the cavalry of the 31st and 36th divisions were also damaged to such an extent that they could not be used for assault operations.”

“What about the Phantom Troops and the Shadow Troops?”

“We can go into battle right away. It is said that the unit commanders ordered them to leave the front line immediately after the Batalion unit was attacked, so they were not harmed.”

For an instant, the prince frowned.

“The Batalion troops fought to the last man and destroyed 3 steel golems. By the way, did you mean that the units that had been paid even the excitium had deserted the front line?”

“It is said that the troops made that decision in a state of panic. Seeing that the excitium didn’t work… I must have been crazy.”

The chief of staff defended the commanders.

If they lost even two units in Feromuros, it was because they had no means to counter the steel golem.

He didn’t ask any further if the prince had accepted the reality.

“Did you say the new material used in the steel golem was artenium?”

“yes. In the Southern Kingdom, they talk about it as a new immortal material… but it turns out that if the same part is hit two or three times by axitium, the artenium is also incapacitated.”

“You mean you have to arm yourself with axitium. Isn’t it?”

“I do, but… will the imperial family have enough finances?”

“I should have told you the other day… If you mass-produce excitium, you can lower the production cost by 10 gold per piece.”

“It will cost an astronomical amount of money to arm the Imperial Army’s musketeers with excitium.”

“What if it was 1 gold instead of 10 gold?”

“Is that possible?”

“There is also an imperial informant inside the Taboola Magic Tower. He said ’10 gold is enough, not 10 gold’. Taboola’s master, who was pretending to be decent, blew up the production cost. It’s not surprising given the mage’s insidiousness.”

“…”

Marquis Reid Costak only blinked his eyes at the shocking words.

“Empires do not fall. I don’t allow it. I’d rather change the world than that. It doesn’t matter if you give the kingdom of Adria back. Build a blockade in the Shade Kingdom. The Empire’s great counterattack will begin in the Shade Kingdom.”
