Chapter 6-26: Volume 6 - Chapter 26 – Surprise Attack
06-26 Surprise Attack
“All the actors are in place . ”
“Then, let’s begin . ”
Egelia Kingdom’s royal castle was said to have an impregnable defense that was a point of pride .
After the Great Magic War, the structure was built drawing on the experiences of the war .
The outer walls could withstand physical attacks, while the inner walls specialized in defense against magic .
Furthermore, there was a magic barrier to prevent the entry of suspicious people .
Finally, the best Imperial Guard knights and high-power golem troops were chosen .
These were the factors behind why Egelia Kingdom’s royal castle was said to be impregnable .
The unveiling of the golems began just before noon, but as the unveiling dragged on for over two hours, now it was already the afternoon .
People like Jin were getting bored .
As the King instructed, at last the late luncheon preparations started . Maids prepared the tables and carried food in . It looked like it would still take a moment before it was finished .
Beana used that time to go greet her teacher Gladia Hampton . Since Jin had free time, he decided he may as well follow .
“Teacher, long time no see . ”
Gladia Hampton, who was having a friendly chat with someone next to them stopped the conversation, looked at Beana,
“…Who were you again?”,
They said with a face that made it seem they weren’t very interested .
“Have you forgotten? I’m Beana, until last year I was under your tutelage, teacher . ”
After saying so, Gladia Hampton thought about it for a bit, and eventually seemed to remember,
“Oh, you . Excuse me, I have so many pupils . ”
“Oh no, don’t mind it . ”
“So, what can I do for you? Are you here because you made a golem too? Although I don’t think I heard them mention your name . ”
“Eh, no, about that . ”
Jin gave a helping hand to Beana who was pressed for an answer .
“Nice to meet you, Hampton-sensei . Beana’s been my assistant, and that’s why she’s attending here today . ”
“You are?”
“Ah, excuse me, my name is Jin . ”
“Hm, so?”
“No no, that’s all . Come on Beana, you’ve said hi, let’s go . ”
Jin said, and pulled Beana away from Gladia Hampton .
Gladia Hampton seemed to have already forgotten about Beana, and returned to the conversation with the nearby person .
Beana was disheartened . Because in her heart she held wishes like even if just for a moment, she wanted to show the teacher she looked up to how much she had grown, and, if possible, be praised by them . But those hopes were quickly dashed .
“Well, isn’t it like that?”
Jin thought and thought about what he should say, then spoke .
“A teacher teaches a lot of pupils, right? From a pupil’s perspective the teacher is only one person, but from the teacher’s perspective the pupils are a crowd . It’s not something you can completely memorize . ”
“…Mm, I guess . Oh well . Thanks, jin . ”

Beana seemed to cheer up a bit, and Jin took her towards the food that had been set up .
Jin was hungry, and next to him Beana also cheerfully walked forwards to eat the lined up cuisine .
The gem that amplifies Magic Energy, Elradrite .
A standard piece of Elradrite could amplify Magic Energy 20-fold .
Combining two of these would make it 20 times 20, a 400-fold increase . What if you were to then combine two more?
The answer is a 16,000-fold increase . Granted, it doesn’t work out simply as the calculations, but the real result is not less than a 10,000-fold increase .
And so, the 10,000-fold increase of Magic Energy allows for the writing of Magi Formulas on Control Cores, usually done at contact distance, to be done at a range of 20 meters .
“[Erase], [Writing] . ”
That golem, at the behest of its master, released all of its hidden strength .
Jin felt a chill run down his spine .
It was the same as the Magic Energy he felt the other day .
“Shib, whabs whong?”
Beana asked while her mouth was stuffed with meat . In spite of that, Jin replied with a grim face,
“Beana, be careful . ”
“Huh?”
“Aaaaaaaaahh!”
At that instant, a shriek echoed in the hall .

“Beana, here!”
“Huh…Eek?”
Beana who was suddenly pulled by Jin stumbled and almost fell, but Jin caught her in his arms and activated his Magi Tool .
“Barrier . ”
All the golems that participated in the golem party, no, even the golems who carried meals for the tables to help the maids’ preparations, all began to run wild .
“Eeeek!”
“Gah!”
Everywhere in the hall noises of things breaking and of screaming could be heard .
“Wh what is going on?”
“Your Majesty, Your Highness, do not be afraid, I will protect you . ”
Actually, it wasn’t all the golems .
“You’re…fine? Lotte?”
“Yes . ”
The golem Jin built, ‘Lotte’, and…
“Schwarz Ritter! Stop the golems running berserk!”
“Jawohl . ”
…Reinhardt’s Schwarz Ritter .
“Ugh! Tauros, what’s the matter!?”
“Aah! My Helios!”

The rest of the golems had been removed from under their masters’ control, and were running riot as they pleased .
“Argh!”
“Hyah! Stop, stop it!”
The Imperial Guard knights there struggled hard, but the difference in numbers was too vast . The number of knights was just short of ten, and there was no way they could restrain the over forty golems .
Even though they were armed with swords, their opponents were unfeeling metal puppets, while they were flesh-and-blood people . Nine became eight, and eight became seven .
You could say that under the circumstances, the vice-captain of the Imperial Guard knights who was by the King and the Prince was putting up a good fight .
“Take this!”
The only people in the hall who were allowed weapons were the Imperial Guard knights . Among them, the vice-captain Bruno had a famous sword with Adamantite coating .
Swinging it with all his strength, he had the power to cut the bronze golems into slices .
Currently, Bruno had cut down three golems .
“King! I’ll keep them at bay! Please escape!”
“Y- Yes . ”
The king of Egelia and the third prince Ernest left their seats . Accompanying them was only Lotte . Their goal was the emergency exit in the corner of the hall .
When they got close to the emergency exit, in front of their eyes the exit was broken through, and the castle’s bodyguard golems rushed into the hall .
