"Rescue request...... then?

Princess Rieschen came down from the cabin and asked.

"What the hell is going on?

Although the knight of the decree hesitated for a moment, he also decided to report it on the spot because it was not something the princess should ask him.

"is the site of Soldrake, the former kingdom of Leonard, where a giant ant-like demon has erupted, and the third Knights of the Kingdom of Egerea have been attacked, along with the allied Border Regiment of the Kingdom of Cellular"

"Ant demons?... you came out of the basement..."

As for Jen, I do not intend to intervene with each other. Except when it comes to demons.

"Jin, can I ask you... can I? Captain of the Third Knights, Poul is not a stranger. When I went to the Kingdom of Egerea, I was always the man to escort me."

Princess Rieschen begged me not to.

"Okay. At least this time."

Yeah, well, I don't want to be used like that all the time, so Jen understood.

"Reiko, Elsa, let's go"

"Yes, Father."

"Mmm."

Princess Reeschen looked like she'd followed him, but that's just not acceptable.

"Jin, I asked for it!

He waved back to the leash waving his hand in pieces, and Jen boarded the cabin.

And 'Conlon 2' rising all at once.

Turn your neck southeast and accelerate. Its speed was fast and soon became invisible even to Princess Reeschen's demonic eye.

"Old man, have you been listening to me? Do you know where the problem is?

The first thing Jen did was confirm it to you.

"Yes, my lord (My Road). If you look at it on a magic detector (Magilader), there is a prominent spot in the former kingdom of Leonard that matches the Soldrake ruins"

"Okay. Doing so..."

The ruins of Soldrake are more than 200 kilometers far from Alban, the capital of the Kingdom of Klein, where Jen is now. Even the highest speeds of "Conlon 2" take over an hour to calculate.

"... use that one"

That is the "transfer device" received from No. 700672. The marker is Penglai.

"Yes, Father. Transfer device, activate."

Literally, in an instant, Jens was in the front yard of the Penglai Institute. It's about 10 centimetres in error, and it's terribly accurate. Exactly. Prepared by 700672.

"Send me to the Soldrake ruins on the transporter again, old man.... Ah, let's get more baggage before then"

"Conlon 2" is unarmed.

Jen heard that an ant-like demon was loaded with light beam guns (laser guns), magic cannons (Magicanons), ultra-fast vibrating swords "vibration swords" and plasma swords.

"Okay, please"

'Conlon 2' with Jen, Elsa and Reiko on board was forwarded again.

The next thing that emerged was in the air near the site of Soldrake.

Reiko reacted quickly, pointing her neck to the ruins.

"Conlon 2" arrives at the ruins of Soldrake in minutes.

"Father, there it is!

Under the eyes of Jens, the tragedy of the nasal cry was spreading.

"Golem! Prevent it!

Trist Clarot gives orders to the proud battle golem. But at the next moment, his eyes opened in amazement.

A golem bathed in the spitting acidic liquid of "Supergiant Ant (Gigaant)" turned up white smoke and began to melt.

"Hey, what?!?

Companions of ants living on Earth have organic acids called 'antacid'. In addition, human gastric fluid contains hydrochloric acid.

Some human intestinal bacteria produce acetic and succinic acids.

It is not surprising that supergiant ants (gigaants), classified as demons, secrete powerful acids. Giant hundreds of feet (gigantopeders) also had potent corrosive fluids.

"Bye..."

"Let's hurt..."

Most of the fifty members of the Second Border Regiment of the Kingdom of Celluloa had been hit by the exhaling antacid-like liquid of the 'Supergiant Ant (Gigaant)'. It is hung with liquid and eaten from the weak.

"Damn, this is it, my border regiment!

No matter how much the leader's trist regrets, the status quo remains unchanged.

Although the battle golem smashed several supergiant ants (gigaants), it was sprayed with corrosive fluid from more than twice as many supergiant ants (gigaants) and melted and stopped moving.

Only two bodies are left defending the Trist. And the regiment, which had fifty men, now only left Trist behind.

And more than half of the 500 golems carried out were melted into supergiant ants (gigaants) and scraped.

Hardly, three golems appeared to have written orders (commands) yet, moving toward the supergiant ants (Gigaanto), but they were not outnumbered and quickly destroyed.

In contrast, all the third knights of the Kingdom of Egerea are still safe.

This difference was mainly in horseback riding. The soldiers of the Border Troops are infantry, and only the leader's trist is on horseback. On the side of the Kingdom of Egerea, by contrast, all are knights.

Supergiant ants (gigaants) traveled at much the same speed as horses, so they were able to keep running.

"But we can do this one day..."

The captain, Poul Reid, was desperate to think as he proceeded with his lord (Shinkansen).

The speed is about the same, but supergiant ants (gigaants) don't look tired. On the other hand, for the Knights, the limit would be fifteen minutes to maintain the current speed.

"Hmmm, there were 500 golems because of that, it's just Sayamako... what a waste"

Philip Tiefo, director of the Magician (Magicraftsman) Mutual Aid Society (Guild) Blueland branch, grumbled with regret as he ran with his horse.

I don't know what instructions (commands) Trist wrote, but in a golem like you can only walk, you're not the enemy of a supergiant ant (gigaant).

"If that thing could have fought, give me something I could have prevented..."

The grunt seemed regrettable.

That's when Philip's horse stumbled onto something.

"Ugh, wow!

Philip to be thrown out.

"Master!"

Donna, who was on board, was also thrown out, but she immediately stood up and rushed over to Philip, the master.

"Ugh..."

Philip is frustrated (lottery) with his right ankle and right wrist and can't get up right away.

"Me."

Donna walked out carrying Philip. The horse I was riding is running away at last.

"Lord Philip!

By falling horses, he was also outrun by his lord (Shinkansen) Poul, and Philip and Donna are now at the rear.

A black demon approaching them.

That distance, ten meters away......

"That's terrible..."

……

Jen and Elsa were stunned by the tragedy under their eyes.

There were a number of supergiant ants (gigaants) that seemed to exceed 1,000.

About fifty soldiers have fallen and several have been eaten by supergiant ants (gigaants).

There were 500 golems, as well as the majority already melted, some of which do not retain their original form.

"Supergiant Ant (Gigaant), huh? Sounds like a powerful corrosive liquid."

"Mmm.... probably melt the rock with that liquid to build a nest in the ground?

Elsa makes a guess. That's probably the right thing to do, Jen thought.

"I think Mr. Elsa's guess is right."

Old man supports the theory, too.

"Once coming out of the Inad mine, The Giant Hundred Foot (Gigantopeder) also had a powerful corrosive body fluid. What we have in common is that it is an organism living in the ground. The more gigantic you become, the more powerful acid you need to dissolve the rock in order to build a nest '?

and Old You explained the rationale.

"That must be it. Suppose... given the difference in size between that supergiant ant ant (Gigaant) and the giant hundred feet (Gigantopeder), I guess the supergiant ant (Gigaant) is weaker"

I can see that in the way the golem melts. When Gigantopeder, even Adamantite was slightly melted.

The movement is also more cursory for supergiant ants (gigaants).

Nevertheless, if you grumble, you could catch up with the third knight of the kingdom of Egerea, who desperately flees.

Also, dozens of them are starting to scatter in different directions. It would be troublesome if they even built a nest.

"Reiko, can you ask me?

"Yes, Father, I'll take care of it"

"The effect of that corrosive liquid is unknown. Place a physical barrier (solid barrier) and attack it with a magic or beam gun (laser gun) from the inside."

"Yes, I understand"

With a plasma sword just in case, Reiko jumped off 'Conlon 2'.
