Act 5: Chapter 27: Reunion With Good-For-Nothing Knight
I scouted the vicinity of Greed mansion from atop the roof of the building.
「Such cruel situation...」
Dozens of golems were fighti— Or rather, trampling down the kingdom knight underfoot.
The knights couldn't even left a scratch on the golem's body, andgot sent flying by the latter's metalling punch instead.
Some of those knights had already escaped, and even more of them had been defeated.
Even the ones who keep fighting already look like they are about to give up at any moment.
「NO, I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE!!」
「I'VE NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS! I'M WILLING TO GIVE MY LIVE FOR THE KINGDOM BUT, I REFUSE TO DIE IN VAIN LIKE THIS!」
「WE HAVE TO BUY SOME TIME AT LEAST FOR THE CITIZEN TO ESCAPE!」
The knights' agonizing wail resounded.
I gulped my spit and appraised the level of the golem.

Race: Mithril Golem

Their level was higher than my expectation.
Far stronger than most kingdom knights.
A-rank adventurer might be able to defeat them.
But even if there was an S-rank adventurer, I doubt they could do anything with this much golem.
「How in the world...」
The matter about Greed owning a lot of war potential comparable to A-rank adventurer was clearly unusual.
I knew that a powerful individual threatening to destroy this world wasn't a rare thing since it was to keep this world around the edge... In accordance to Nyarlhotep.
But if a wealthy person could mass produce these powerful golem at ease, not even Nyarlhotep could control them when their action spiralling out of control.
No amount of the world was enough for the rich who wanted to destroy the world.
The color drained from Bennet's face as he pointed his sword to behind me.
I turned around and brandished my sword to the two golem that came to attack.
The upper half of the golem was thrown up into the air, and crashed on the ground.
「... As if cutting slime. Just how high is your level?」
Bennet poked his sword on the lower half of the golem to check their toughness.
I wanted to find Philia as soon as possible but, I couldn't just leave them at the mercy of their fate.
「It's going to take a lot of time since there's a lot of them. Let's dispatch them quickly.」
I lowered my sword and glared at the golem army.
The golems stopped moving and looking at me at once.
It seems they recognized me as the dangerous enemy that should be taken down by the group.
「Tell the other knight to evacuate the civilians, leave these golems to me.」
「B-But, there's no way that we, the kingdom knight can just leave you... A single adventurer to handle this much enemy by yourself!」
An injured knight raised his bloody body and readied his sword.
「Just do it! You're just a hindrance for him even if you stay here! It might hurt our honor but... That pretense is useless unless you're backed by the power to do so. Now forget about pretense. My papa... He always says that a knight's duty isn't to attack, it's to defend!」 RaƝỐbƐS
Bennet raised his voice as he readied his sword.
「Leave the citizen's evacuation to us, Kanata!」
「... Actually it doesn't matter even if you stay here.」
「Never thought that the time would come for us to stand shoulder by-shoulder and fight together like this again! Let's go Kanata!」
「... Yes.」
I readied my stance again despite feeling completely confused inside.
I kicked the ground and leaped toward the golems.
