But can you go alone?

　Lawrence knelt down in front of the anxious Hilbert and clapped his chest forcefully.

If you so command, then I, as your vassal--
No need for that!　I'm not sure if I can do it on my own or not, what are my prospects?　Say it objectively.

　Lawrence was admonished, and after a moment's consideration, he expressed his opinion in a tone that was difficult to articulate.

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but I honestly think it's less than 50-50.
"Then use the same tactics you used to defeat them the other day.

　Hilbert said as a matter of course, but this made Lawrence look surprised.

'Are you sure you want to go to ......?　We'll be thin otherwise. Then you are in danger .......

　Lawrence looked concerned.
　The more forces you gather to ensure the victory of your strike force, the less protection you have in case of emergency.
　There is no point if Hilbert is taken out.

　But Hilbert was not desperate.
　He had a fierce expression on his face, like a beast with fangs when cornered.

"There's more where that came from, isn't there, Lawrence?
"!
Even though it was a loan from the Federation, no one would complain about using it in this situation.

　I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do.

But are you sure? ......
I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who use weapons discarded by the enemy on the battlefield. Or do you not like the fact that I've painted over the Union emblem?
No, sir, I have no objection!
　I will use the sword of the Federation to strike down those who are in the service of the Federation. I see. This will be an excellent revenge.
　Then I will leave the protection of ...... to you.

　This is a small temple in the southern part of the city.

　From the bell tower of the small temple in the southern part of the city, Rene looked toward the castle.
　This small temple was abandoned and uninhabited, so he used it as a temporary headquarters. There was nothing to protect it anyway, so all he needed was a place to spread out his map and lay out his callers. All that was needed was protection from the wind and arrows.
　The temple seemed to René to be like an underground sewer, creepy and disgusting, but not so holy that it would interfere with his activities.

　There are times when a single temple is not enough for a city. Especially in a city as large as King's Landing.
　There were a number of small temples in the city that citizens went to and prayed in daily. These are also called small temples or churches. In some cases, they specialized in the worship of gods who cooperated with the great gods.
　In any case, religious buildings are second only to military facilities in strength and splendor. Not bad for a temporary base.

　Looking up, I could see the hippogriffs crashing down from the flames spewed by the wyvern zombies.
　The battle in the sky was coming to an end.
　Fighting in the air for a long time is a situation that is impossible for humans. The tireless undead were taking out the living one after another, who were beginning to lose their edge. The undead were barely competing with each other, so when their numbers started to fall, the rest was just a matter of time.

"Oh?

　I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

It doesn't look like a welcome home or an empty castle.

　Across the drawbridge came out a single knight-like figure, ...... too far away to see clearly. He was followed by dozens of others in a lump.
　This formation looked familiar.

　--So they're finally here. ......!

　Rene kicked off the roof and jumped down, hanging from the eaves of the second floor window. She is holding her neck in her left hand and her sword in her right hand, forcing her to support herself, making her a bit unstable.

"Alastor, the First Knight Commander is on his way!

　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

You're early, aren't you?
"Yes. I'll make my move.

　Rene let go of her hand and kicked the wall, this time landing on the ground. I'll remember to hold her skirt.

　After passing through the garden where they used to grow medicinal herbs, Rene entered the graveyard adjacent to the church.
　The graveyard was cold, lined with gravestones, and shadows of strange shapes were hanging around.
　Skeletons and ghouls in knightly armor. Rich, a skeletal sorcerer in robes with eerie eyes. Zombies dressed like adventurers. The elite troops that had been guarding the palanquin all along. Some of them are undead members of the Order who have died.
　The undead change their abilities depending on their previous life and the power they put into them. These elite troops are no less formidable than the remaining First Order members in Lawrence's hands.

　The undead soldiers lined up in an orderly fashion, kneeling in unison in a vassal's bow to Rene. Seeing this, Rene smiled.

Now, ......, let's go destroy Ciel-Teira.

　* * *

　A strange army is approaching the royal castle from all directions.


　They filled the streets, blocked the alleys, and squeezed through the encirclement as if not even a mouse could crawl out.
　The soldiers who had been trying to control the city walls and the soldiers who had been fulfilling their duties in various parts of the city all gathered to attack.

I heard that there is a magical weapon attached to the city walls that can cleave the entire boulevard.

　Rene walks at the head of the army on South Avenue and asks Alastor over the caller.

I've heard that there are weapons on the walls. It's not something you should use if you're fighting a transcendent sorceress like the princess.
"I see.
I see." "If you had used it, we could have finished this in an instant at the cost of a few soldiers. There's no sign of it.

　There are geometric blue-white lines of light running along the walls we're aiming for. It's a magic defense technique. The energy is provided by the magic of the land and the magic stones set in the walls. Unlike the sacred magic wards of earlier, it only has the power to 'prevent destruction by magic', but it is a hard defense that even Rene would have trouble breaking.

　In a place like this, offensive magic weapons are installed, but the source of the energy consumption is the same as the defense of the castle walls. It was the magic power of the land.
　It is said that this is the reason why the defense is neglected when going on the offensive. If the walls had no magic defense, Rene would be able to destroy them with a single blow.
　Of course, in order to compensate for this, they could have installed a sub-defense mechanism powered by a large amount of magic stones,......, but that is the limit of the small country of Ciel-Teira.

I'm not sure what to do.
I'm not sure. ≪This is a great way to make sure that you don't end up with a lot of problems.
　It will probably be used for anti-aircraft fire, though, since the enemy's airborne cavalry is almost completely wiped out.
I'll keep an eye out for them.

　Rene headed towards the group of knights with gusto.
　But on her way, she noticed something strange.
　The gates of the castle were left open.

　There was no reason to leave the gates open now that he had spat Lawrence out.
　But the walls are still wide open.

　--What is this thing doing?

What are you doing?　They don't need buffs anyway!

　Suddenly, there was a loud voice that seemed to be coming from the gate tower of the castle. It was magically amplified.
　It was probably spoken to the inside of the gate.

　--Is this the voice of the front line commander ......?　Or perhaps it's Hilbert himself?

　The earth trembled with a thud.

I'm not sure what to make of this.　Second Naglfar!　Launch it!

　A huge humanoid shadow appeared.
　A huge humanoid figure appears. The gaping castle gate seems to be about four or five meters high, but it bends down to pass through, looking cramped.

　It looked as if a huge full-body armor was moving. A massive, sharp-edged form. Its grayish silver body shines brilliantly in the sunlight.
　Your sense of perspective is thrown off. There were two huge bodies that made me worry that the drawbridge over the moat would snap. They emerged from behind the knights.

"...... giant robots?
"Golem, Princess.

　I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I think it's a great idea.
I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a fan of your work.

　The two golems have traces on their shoulders that look like they were painted over with paint or something. They seem to have been painted over with the national emblem of the Federation.

　Ciel-Teira's former friend (suzerainty?), the Gileshthal Federation, is now a member of the Federation. Ciel-Teira's former friend (suzerain?), the Federation of Gileshthal, is famous for its battle golems.
　Although Ciel-Teira is the source of the glacelm used in the circuitry of high-grade golems, it does not make its own high-grade golems. This was due to the cost of manufacturing and maintenance, and also due to the technology.
　Although there have been opinions and movements for "domestic golems! There have been opinions and movements for "domestic golems", but only general golems made in every country have been realized. Most people agreed that it would be cheaper to borrow or buy one from the Federation with the money from the sale of gracelms.

　The Federation's battle golems call themselves "the fortress of humanity".
　The most expensive of them were said to be as powerful as even a high-ranking adventurer.

　Mithril was relatively light, but with a body that large, it would have the mass to blow away a dozen undead soldiers with a single lariat shot.
　In addition, mithril itself is resistant to magic attacks, and if it is also carrying a talisman, it has a hopeless magic defense.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea.　That's absurd. ......
Yes, it does work. So in this case, you should use physical attacks to kill it.
"Can you ...... do it?
"I don't know, but I'm hopeful.

　I don't think a physical attack can take care of something like that barbell weight, but Alastor's answer doesn't seem to be in doubt.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to stop it at the very least.
"If you say so, I'll leave it to you. I'll lure Lawrence out to fight, and you can take care of the castle.
I'll take care of the castle.
　...... Good luck, Princess.
