Unlike most armies who marched until they reached the battlefield, Alain preferred the easy way to reach our destination and that is by riding a big carriage enough to carry all of us. It was modified by many engineers who live in the Rebels Village. The carriage is based on the bus and with the help of Sigma and Harmless Sparrow, the carriage-like bus was formed. Because animals cannot pull the carriage due to how heavy it was, the engineers created an engine powerful enough to make the carriage run without any problems. Although it's not as identical as the real bus in the real world, having it run like one and carry multiple people at once without breaking down is already a big feat.
While we are moving to our destination, everyone is not speaking at all. Most of them have serious looks on their faces. I can understand them though. This is the first battle we will be doing that is a large-scale one that involves destroying a big factory that is involved with the pieces of machinery people around Luminous Continent use. Destroying the factory will not only destroy the machines that are meant to help the angels but it would also cause some kind of chaos on what is going to happen.
Of course, I am not very worried. Although this is the biggest factory, this is not the only factory that is involved with creating golems. There is a possibility that even all of these factories are involved in what the church is secretly doing but because we still have no clue about that, we will just be destroying one of the factories first. It might not directly impact the Luminous Continent just yet but this will bring attention to the people about our rebellion.
"We are here."
Alain stopped the engine and everyone raise their heads as they looked out the window. Before us is the biggest factory that produces the golems, our destination and our first goal to destroy.
"This is it, lads. I know everyone is nervous but treat this fight as a fight that will change history. Even if your effort is minimal and not recognized, be proud that you all managed to contribute to it. Don't be afraid everyone! If we want to forge our future without the danger that the church brings then all we can do is force the change instead! Take up your arms and destroy the adversary before us!"
With the speech of Alain, everyone had very high morale and are now ready to move. They bring out their weapons, ready to fight. Most of the weapons they are carrying are the weapons that I have sold to them. Although I wanted to give them those weapons for free, they insisted I need some sort of payment. I didn't deny them of it and accepted it but it would have been great if they didn't pay for it.
Although it's not exactly weapons that are specially tailored for themselves, the weapons that I made are not just some rejects that I handed out. All of them are of high quality and they are made with durability and sharpness in mind. I don't want the weapon to be destroyed in the middle of the battle so I made sure all of them are in high durability. I also made sure they are not just bad weapons that are as effective only as blunt weapons, they are sharp and can cut through steel. They might not be as good as the Versatile Weapon's quality or any weapons that are dropped by high leveled monsters, they are not what I call bad.
Everyone went down from the carriage and once everyone is out, just like the portable snow carriage that Sigma used before in the Frozen Region, the carriage can be kept in a small cube and can be kept with you anytime you wanted to use it.
We planned out already how we will enter and that would be my infiltration and incapacitating the guards and the cameras of the facility while the rest will go on standby while waiting for the gate to open.
I activated my [Stealth] and immediately went ahead to sneak into the place. The first was to disable the cameras in front of the gates. I used the bow and arrow to disable the cameras. Because my arrows are not made of actual arrows but made of mana, it is as lethal as a real bullet allowing me to break the cameras silently. The security might have already noticed the cameras going down now after I destroyed them.
The next thing I did is creep near the security guards. Instead of golems, they made angels guard the place as that will allow them to have a manual inspection on whether any carriage can be allowed entry or not and they are also the first eyes in case something is amiss. But those eyes are not necessary at the moment. I changed my weapon into a dagger and stabbed the neck of these guards who still didn't expect my sneaky attack.
Once they are dead, I disabled the security for their gates and opened them, allowing everyone to show and signal that its time to go and fight. Seeing them go down from the hill and approach the factory, I am now sure they are now coming in. I entered the factory first myself, changed my weapon into a cannon, and started blasting every single golem I see with a cannonball. This was a big surprise to every single golem in the area and they started to process what is happening. The workers are also stunned by what's happening as well but before they can fully understand what is happening, the rebels poured into the gate as well.
As soon as these happened, the factory started to blare its sirens and all the golems on standby had their eyes glowing red.
"[Intruders detected. Intruders detected. Clean-up operation is recommended. Execute them all.]
"Don't panic when you all are facing a golem! Strike their cores that are either in their heads or in their chests! Destroy them before they can move again! If you failed to destroy its core but you made it incapable to fight, just destroy its core before it self-destructs!"
The rebels are efficient warmongers. They are not to be underestimated as they slowly beat up all the golems incoming. The workers immediately vacate the area and went inside the factory, waiting for the chaos to calm down but it was clear that they are also not safe there once we get inside as well.
Although the golems were in overwhelming numbers, they didn't have many durabilities in them that are too dangerous for everyone to handle and so we still managed to break through their numbers like it was nothing.
Still, despite our easy time destroying them, they are still great in number and despite how fast we are destroying the golems, more and more golems still appear which is still not looking quite good for us.
Seeing this, Harmless Sparrow charged up her weapon while it is in flames. I can tell she is about to unleash one of the ultimate attacks so I shouted to everyone.
"Make way!"
Everyone who heard me immediately went out from the firing range of Harmless Sparrow. The golems came rushing in and they clumped together. she unleashed the charged attack.
"Let's burn them all! [Phoenix Drive]!
She swings her sword and a giant bird made of flames materialized and swoops into the golems. Every golem on the way was melted as a result. She pants as she finished the attack. It costs lots of mana to cast so Sparrow was exhausted. I immediately throw a splash mana potion to her to replenish the mana she lost fast.
"Thanks for the support, Bladeheart!"
Alain raised his sword as we charge through.
"The golems are now slowly being destroyed! Move and aim to reach the main factory!"
I still didn't bring out my golem in the fight. The main trouble is the golems inside. Until we enter the golem factory, the golem will not go out just yet.
The battle continue to rage on until more advanced golems started to pour out as well. This time, Alain decided to order us.
"Bladeheart, Sigma, and Harmless Sparrow, we will break into the factory. The sooner we destroy this place and rescue all of the hostages the sooner we will be done with this fight. My men can handle the golems just fine. I need help in breaking through the golems and pushing through to the factory."
"Alright. Leave all the small fries to me," Sigma then unleashed her golden chains and pierced through the golems one by one as we head to the factory's door.
Although we are not in a dungeon, I am quite sure, behind this door is a boss fight. Its the time to make the golem I made shine and to see whether the new age golem or the ancient golem reigns supreme.
