Chapter 202: Golem Corps

Having begun making golems, what I will be focusing on in the golems this time is the performance of the golem cores.

I still can’t make a golem of the same caliber as Titan, but I’ll be drawing a magic formula with the aim of having a flexible AI, to a degree.

The types of golem that I’ll make are:

Polypod-type Golem (Spider)

Polypod-type Golem (Scorpion)

Equestrian-type Golem (Centaur)

Normal Knight-type Golem

Heavy Knight-type Golem

The addition of the Scorpion Polypod-type Golem is partly because of the inclusion of the spider-type that would become Kaede’s subordinates.

The upper half of the scorpion-type was similar to the spider-type, but its lower half will have 6 legs and 2 pincer arms, and it has a tail with a poison stinger. It might be the golem with the most ways to attack.

The Heavy Knight-type Golem specializes in defense, equipped with a large shield, heavy mace, and a bulky armor.

「Takumi-sama, will there be no archers?」

「Hm? Archers?」

「Yes, if there are golems of the heavy knight-type, normal knight-type, and equestrian-type, I simply thought that it would be adequate to have an archer-type golem as well.」

I tried considering what Sophia said. Certainly, if I look at it as an army, a way to attack long range is essential, and even in Japan’s Warring States period, the era prior to the application of guns, many casualties of the war were attributed to bows.

Normal Knight-type Golem – 4

Heavy Knight-type Golem – 2

Archer-type Golem – 4

This will be one platoon and I decided that the polypod-type golem will be the leader.

Four platoons is a company, four companies is a battalion, and right now my objective is to make a battalion-sized golem corps.

「240 golems huh. Once we include the equipment into the count, the sighs really will begin to spill out.」

「A 240 golem corps? I’m certain that would be a spectacle.」

「It would be a company if it was a troop of 240 humans though. Well, these are golems, after all.」

If possible, I’d like to make a division and brigade-sized golem unit. I don’t know why, but my intuition is telling me to prepare. Whether this is because of the Insight Skill or a supernatural-like foreboding, I don’t know.

It’s not like it would be any trouble even if we over-prepare, so I’ve decided to act based on my intuition.

With Laeva and the Dwarves’ help, I made all sorts of golems. To fight against threats that may eventually come.
