  1. They came into contact with the Golems, and using their individual strength and coordinated abilities, they struck down the stone giants that were groaning and swinging their fists.
  2.  
  3. At this rate, they would be able to defeat all of the Golems and regain their formation.
  4. At that moment, Vandalieu gave the order to the Cursed Weapons, the crossbows in the second wall and the trebuchets installed on the rooves of Talosheim’s buildings.
  5.  
  6. “Fire.”
  7.  
  8. “Gah!”
  9.  
  10. “Gyah!”
  11.  
  12. “Hyih! Boulders are flying… gyih!”
  13.  
  14. Some of the crossbow bolts pierced the Rock Golems, but as the Rock Golem numbers had been reduced, around two thirds of them found their targets in the expedition army.
  15.  
  16. And no matter how elite the Shield-bearers and heavy infantrymen were, they could not avoid being rendered unable to fight by the trebuchet boulders falling from overhead.

  20. “No way! Large numbers of archers and trebuchets?! W-what are we fighting against?! General, what does this mean?! What is the Empire hiding from us?!” Chezare demanded.
  21.  
  22. “I-I don’t know! I don’t know anything, either!” Mauvid shouted.
  23.  
  24. “You intend to keep your mouth shut at a time like this?!”
  25.  
  26. It wasn’t unusual for demi-humanoid monsters to use bows and arrows, but Chezare didn’t know anything about them being capable of using trebuchets. Trebuchets were not easy to construct in the first place. In the Amid Empire, Mirg shield-nation and even the Orbaume Kingdom, the technicians capable of building them were forced to join Guilds and monitored constantly so that they would not build them without approval.
  27.  
  28. But trebuchets existed in Talosheim and were raining boulders on the expedition army.
  29.  
  30. Despite there being no records of the Titans having the technology to use trebuchets.
  31. Could it be that the Dhampir built these trebuchets? That’s impossible! Chezare thought.
  32.  
  33. However, the reality before his eyes was that boulders were being thrown at the soldiers one after another, crushing them as they tried to flee.
  34.  
  35.
