The 9Th Class Swordmaster: Blade Of Truth [EN]: Chapter 261

184. White Bunker Battle (1)

[Shield formation!!!]

A sharp cry echoed in the cockpits of the Golems, which had momentarily stopped in shock after their commander’s death.

[What are you all doing?! Get your heads in the game!!]

The pilots flinched at the thunderous roar and hastily pulled the levers of their Golems.

Drrrrr―――!!

The massive shields attached to the Golems’ arms rose in unison, creating what looked like another fortress wall.

[Magic artillery, prepare to fire!!]

The pilots, as if nothing had happened, busily followed his orders.

The voice coming from the communication device inside the cockpit belonged to none other than Wingel Hart, the commander of the Meister Unit and a Golem engineer.

Woo woo woo woong……!!

As magic power condensed in the artillery pieces attached to both shoulders of the Golems, the barrels turned red.

[Fire!!!!]

At Wingel Hart’s command, the pilots pulled their levers simultaneously.

Kwagagagagang……!! Kwagagagang……!

Kwagagagang……!!!

The artillery fire pouring from the heat-clad Golems exploded in front, raising thick clouds of dust.

“Ugh!!”

“Aaaargh!!”

The screams of the soldiers who had been running forward erupted from all directions.

[The number of enemies is small! With the Golems’ shields, even a Sword Master won’t be able to easily break through. Push the enemy back!!]

“Yes!!”

“Understood!!”

The pilots shouted, as if a spark had reignited the fighting spirit that had cooled with the commander’s death.

[Into a charge formation!!]

As soon as the order was given, the Golems picked up the shields they had placed on the ground, covered their chests, and began to run forward, lowering their bodies.

Thump―! Thump, thump――! Thump!!

The Golems, charging with tremendous force, made a tremendous noise with each step.

If the sound of the Golems’ footsteps, which were not even half the size of Revol’s, was this loud, it was hard to imagine what would happen if the super-large one standing inside the White Bunker took a step.

[Left foot, left foot!! Keep pace! Maintain the range!]

The adjutant, standing at the very front, directed the Golems in place of the commander. The Golems’ wedge formation collided with Miliana’s soldiers.

Kwaaaang―――!!

As the Golems swung their weapons, soldiers were thrown in all directions with a tremendous roar.

[Crush all the enemies!!]

The Meister Unit began to run, with flames erupting from the ignition stones on the Golems’ backs.

[You insect-like bastards!!]

The Golems, starting to rampage like the mad cries of the pilots, began to trample the Fran troops.

“Ugh!”

“Avoid it!!”

With explosions erupting here and there, the mangled flesh of horses and soldiers covered the ground.

Kwagagagang!! Kwagang!!!

A mana blade was generated on the sword held by the Golem, and flashing electricity flowed in all directions.

When the sword was slammed vertically, the ground exploded as if a meteorite had fallen.

“Cough…… Cough…….”

In a situation where they couldn’t even open their eyes properly due to the acrid heat.

The surviving soldiers crawled out from under the corpse of a horse that had been cut in half.

Kuggeugeugeu…….

Suddenly, the surroundings darkened.

When the soldiers raised their heads, they saw the eyes of the Golem looking down at them.

At the same time, the arm slowly rose.

The huge sword fell in a straight line above their heads like a guillotine.

“……!!”

“……!!!”

The surviving soldiers couldn’t even think of running away and froze in place.

“Ugh, ughaaaaack!!”

With a scream, they closed their eyes, covering their heads without realizing it, even though they knew it was meaningless.

It was then.

Thung―! Thutung―!!

Tough iron chains pierced the Golem’s wrist, which was about to crush the soldiers, and were embedded in the ground.

[……!!?]

Clang―!! With a sound, the embedded arrow pulled the Golem’s arm back as the hook at the end of the chain unfolded.

Kwaddeudeudeuk……!!

However, one arrow was not enough to completely stop the Golem’s arm.

Jeogeudeok……. Jeogeudeok…….

As the Golem exerted force, the chain was pulled taut, looking as if it would break at any moment.

But at that moment, the arrows did not stop and flew in succession, piercing and grabbing the Golem from its shoulder to the back of its hand like a snare.

“Keuk?!”

The pilot inside the Golem seemed flustered and pulled the lever, but the Golem staggered backward due to the force of the embedded arrows.

Seogeok―

The arm holding the weapon was cut off diagonally and fell next to the soldier who had been sitting down with a thud―!!

Kwaaaang―――!!

The Golem, losing its balance, fell backward.

“Move.”

Kinu Mukari pulled an arrow from the broken Golem’s wrist.

“Th, thank you!!”

The soldiers who had been sitting down hurriedly got up and started running.

“…….”

Only the Blue Phosphorus, which had the property of absorbing magic power, could penetrate the Golem’s defensive magic and have an effect.

The Golem’s armor had scratches here and there, but there were no major damages.

“I think it would be better to withdraw the troops. It seems difficult for the Fran troops to damage the Golem because they don’t have Blue Phosphorus weapons.”

Kinu said, looking at the fallen Golem.

His arrows, which were the only ones that could inflict damage, seemed to be running out.

[You bastard……!!]

A cry was heard from the fallen Golem.

Instead of the broken arm, it raised the opposite shield and stood up as if to crush Kinu.

But before the Golem could move, Kinu grabbed the arrow he had drawn first and stuck it directly into the Golem’s chest.

As the protective magic on the outer armor protecting the Golem’s chest was released inside the six rounded arrows, only that part turned gray.

Jijik…… Jijijik……!!

The Golem shuddered a few times, and electricity erupted from all over, starting from the joints.

Keugeu…… Keugeugeugeu…….

The fallen Golem raised its arm towards Kinu, but it didn’t move properly as if it were rusted.

“The more I see it, the more amazing it is. To think that the Golem, called the culmination of magic engineering, would be so vulnerable to Blue Phosphorus.”

Kinu Mukari said in a low voice, looking at the creaking Golem.

“Heup.”

Miliana, as if she had been waiting, stabbed two rapiers into it.

“Keok……!!”

With a smooth sound as if cutting tofu, a dull scream was heard from inside as she turned the blade.

Soo-uk―

When she pulled out the sword, red blood was splattered.
