345 Chapter 345

After some preparation, Aldred sent his golem armies from Utsbak and Jungendyr straight toward the south where the city of Setboker lay.

With a total of 20,400 fighter golems, 12,000 gunner golems, and 900 artillery golems marching towards the city, Aldred was more than confident to take it down.

That was what he thought until he received a report that his army was intercepted.

His golem army was divided into two. One came from Jungendyr, and the other came from Utsbak.

Apparently, Melageid County knew of his plan to attack and intercepted both of his armies within a thick jungle. The thick jungle put the golems at a disadvantage because the lizardmen used hit and run tactics.

They rode atop a raptor-like creature. It was small and fast, making the jungle a perfect place for them to attack.

The golem, however, had a hard time fighting them in the jungle because there were so many trees and bushes blocking their sight.

The artillery golems could not do anything either, because they had limited missiles, shooting them randomly would do nothing.

Aldred, Shagatik, Bartrem, and all of Aldred’s wives were watching the battle in the war room.

They all stared at Stella’s mirror, depicting a thick forest being burned in flames, and lizardmen and golems fighting against each other.

“I cannot detect them using my power. They are using a secret treasure to hide their presence,” Stella said

“A secret treasure that can hide the presence of an army… that’s very interesting.” Aldred nodded with a smile.

Meanwhile, Shagatik had a nervous expression on his face. “Aldred, are you not worried? Your golems are being defeated.”

Aldred smiled. “My golems are undying.”

What Aldred said was half-true. His golems had a powerful regenerative ability that could restore their broken parts, and even absorb treasure to repair or strengthen themselves. This made them hard to fight.

The lizardmen noticed this, and they were troubled by it.

A lizardman hiding atop a tree branch frowned. “Those golems cannot be killed with ordinary means. We have to do something.”

“Activate our life force. Those golems require a spell to run, if we can cut the spell, they will become unmoving objects.”

“We can also ask for magic-infused weapons from the army.”

“Good idea.”

Soon later, the lizardmen charged at the golems, using their life force and new weapons, they managed to ‘kill’ the golems.

Aldred frowned. The battle began to heat up as the lizardmen became more daring and attacked the golems more and more.

His golems were destroyed one by one, and their numbers were reduced significantly.

“Stella, move the mirror to the battle on the east,” Aldred requested.

The mirror changed the scenery to the battle in the east, but the same thing happened. The golem army in the east was also fighting in a thick jungle, and they were being pushed back many times.

“We have to win the battle in the east, and then reroute the army to the west to reinforce the First Battalion.”

The First Battalion was the golem army fighting in the west, while the Second Battalion was fighting in the east.

“But how can we win? Those lizardmen are killing your golems left and right?!” Shagatik stood up from his seat while wearing a scared expression on his face.

“At this rate, they will advance to my city and take everything.”

Aldred sighed as he held the urge to slap the young lord to sleep.

“Don’t worry about it. I have sent a reinforcement.”

“What reinforcement?”

“I believe you have seen it a few days ago.” Aldred smiled.

…

In the thick jungle, a lizardman was leading the charge and then slashed at the fighter golems with his trident. “Kill these moving irons!”

“Kill!”

After killing a bunch of golems, they quickly ran away deeper into the jungle, barely dodging a storm of fire bullets.

A few minutes later, they charged again, this time from the side, and managed to take down the gunner and artillery golems.

“Yeah, kill them all!”

“Kill these golems!”

“That Shagatik bastard will pay for this. Kill these golems and we will march toward Jungendyr and take it for our lord!”

“Yeah!”

They attacked one more time, cutting the golem forces in half, and let out a cry of victory even though they had not won yet.

“We will surely win this battle,” the lead lizardman said with a confident smile.

Suddenly, a 5-meter tall giant golem pierced through the canopy and landed on the ground with a bang.

The lizardmen widened their eyes as they craned their neck to see this tall monster.

The golem slowly reached for the swords on its back before pulling them out quickly with a schwing sound.

The lizardmen were silent. Their hearts thumped a little harder.

“Don’t be scared! Size means nothing! Attack!”

The lizardmen forgot about their fear and attacked. But, they also forgot about their rationality.

The type 2 fighter golem burst forth with great power and dashed at the lizardmen with a terrifying speed.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

There was only a bright flash of light, and suddenly, dozens of lizardmen were cut into pieces, the meat and blood falling from the air, and splattered onto the trees and bushes.

The type 2 fighter golem continued to charge forward like an unstoppable juggernaut. With its two-meter tall sword, it easily sliced through any trees along
