I Became the Golden Sun That Steals the Academy’s Aircraft

042. Resistance

The gloomy dawn sunlight fell on Banneret. There seemed to be a gloomy aura in the air, as if he knew the tragedy that would soon unfold.

Van Dyck, who was ready to sacrifice himself for freedom or citizens, looked at his revolutionary compatriots who were looking at him with determined eyes. It was the appearance of people who had already prepared to die.

With what mindset did they become the Resistance, and with what mindset do they stand here?

I was in the same situation as them, but I couldn’t easily guess. He knew very well that everyone had their own circumstances.

“Compatriots of the revolution.”

Perhaps because it was morning, Van Dyke’s deep voice rang through the vacant lot. However, the resistance members gathered in the vacant lot knew that it was not just the morning that silenced the Chairman’s voice.

Because I know that their future will be blocked and they will not be able to carry out their wishes.

You will be thirsty from the hunger.

“They have arrived outside of Banneret. These robbers who do not know the noble intentions have come with giant soldiers to trample on our nobility. They are the ferocious blades of the empire and an obstacle to the revolution. How can this not be deplorable? “

The chairman’s earnestness made even the members thirsty. It was a noble meaning. Unable to watch the commoners being oppressed by the nobles, they came together and founded the Resistance. They also dreamed of seeing Respubblica, who spread the will of revolution far away and completed the republic.

A paradise where commoners are not oppressed. They were warriors of the revolution who rose up for just that one thing.

“I risked my life. Even if I become a firefly on a summer night and die, if I can achieve that great goal, I can go on smiling.”

Tears formed in Van Dyck’s eyes. The eyes of the resistance members who heard his last speech also turned red.

Oh, how sad this was.

Oh, how sad this was.

“Compatriots. Even if our will is lost today, the flame of revolution we lit must not die out. Compatriots. Survive. If any of us survive, please continue our cause. “Please pass on our mission to create a better world for future generations and their descendants.”

Compatriots. Compatriots.

“I hope to see you in a better world in the next life.”

The members sang in unison, and Van Dyke finished his speech. With a determined look on their faces, they mounted the lined up giant soldiers and removed the protective shield surrounding Banneret.

The imperial punitive force could be seen in the distance.

The final struggle will begin now.

***

When the day dawned, the punitive forces each mounted the giant soldiers they had been supplied with. Gilbert also received supplies of the Giant God Soldier used by the Imperial Knights, rode on it, and was equipped with the CT-777 that had been prepared in advance.

[Synchronizing the Colossus.]

[Synchronization complete. Official contract confirmed with Knight Gilbert Lionheart.]

[Confirmed. The giant god soldier was activated. Article.]

There wasn’t the same sense of unity when the characteristic skill “You’re so hot” Was activated, but the formal contract was clearly different from the simple contract. The operation of the Giant Soldiers, which was not smooth as if there was buffering, has improved to the point where it can be seen.

I especially liked the backup of CT-777, which has a high level of self that is different from general-purpose artificial spirits.

[I will brief you on the mission. First. Subjugation of the Resistance. Second. There are two ways to capture the Resistance Chairman alive.]

“It won’t be easy.”

[The probability of success cannot be calculated because there is currently no combat record for the knight. Once we have accumulated enough battle records, we will calculate it.]

“Then please take care of me.”

After talking with CT, I waited for the signal to go. Soon, the captain’s plane with Seraphina took the lead.

[The personnel riding the Giant God Soldier open the way. I wish you all good luck.]

A sortie order was given through the common communication magic channel of the punitive force. Gilbert grabbed the control stick and followed closely behind Seraphina. The giant soldiers of the 3rd Knights who came to support her surrounded her as if they were escorting her.

The moment Gilbert overtook them and reached the center of Banneret, the cloaking spell was lifted. It was the moment when the morning sunlight illuminated the Giant God Soldier.

[Many giant soldiers on the front line. It is a grade 4 or higher giant god soldier.]

Artificial spirits with high-level egos were good in this respect. Even if you don’t have to give orders one by one, you can make your own judgment and brief the driver on board the situation. I was satisfied with this alone because the amount of things I had to worry about was reduced by more than half.

Gilbert was the first to collide with the Resistance’s giant soldier who was waiting for battle. The mana core rotated tightly, supplying magic power to CT-777, and CT-777 used the received mana to grasp the battlefield situation and inform Gilbert.

[Confirmation of fire sphere deployment from the rear. Move quickly to the right!]

At the same time as CT-777 shouted, he deployed a magic booster to the left and avoided three fire spears. The Fire Spear, which is enchanted from Grade 4 or higher Titans, was a burden to hit with bare body, even with the Titan that Gilbert was currently riding. In particular, since they preferred lightweight giant soldiers with good mobility, it was clear that even if they were hit with just one shot, their magic barrier would be cut to pieces.

When the three fire spears misfired, the surrounding Resistance giants rushed at the same time with iron swords.

Only four numbers are visible in front.

Before CT-777 could warn Gilbert, the first iron sword that came into his hand was sent through his shoulder armor, and the magically overflowing sword was roughly thrust into him.

-Chang!

The sword was thrown through the magic barrier, but the shock was transmitted just by being stabbed with a full iron sword. Even the acceleration of the rush was replaced by a physical quantity, so the giant soldier stabbed in the cockpit flew in front of my eyes.

Without even a moment to check the flying giant soldier, Gilbert simultaneously deflected the second and third sword strikes with his sword, and then turned his body to let the final iron sword strike go by. When the enemy giant soldier, unable to overcome the running speed, passed by him, it used multiple fireballs engraved on his shoulder to hit him in the side.

-Two boom boom boom!

Even though it was a multiple fireball that was used to deceive or check guided magic due to its slow speed, it was able to produce sufficient destructive power when fired from a distance. The resistance member, whose magic barrier had been cut to pieces by more than half due to the previous attack, was frightened and moved at high speed to escape the range of Gilbert’s attack.

I felt like I wanted to follow him, but I held back. When that happens, he gets caught in the crossfire.

The giant soldier whose sword had bounced away took up his stance again and charged. It was an exquisite attack aimed at the left and right. If you move backwards at high speed to avoid him, you will be immediately put on the defensive by the giant soldier who escaped from him a little while ago.

Then there is only one way.

Gilbert flashed his eyes and pulled the control stick. As if a giant god soldier was being launched, he began to maneuver at high speed using his magic booster.

I aimed for the moment when the swords crossed and dug in between them. A heavy iron sword grazed the giant soldier’s head.

“What on earth is that monster?!”

This was the common thought of the resistance members dealing with Gilbert. It was clearly riding the same giant soldier, but even chasing after it felt burdensome. Even though he took out his secondary weapon, the magic gun, and fired it, all he had to do was avoid getting cut by the iron sword. Even if the enchanted magic was poured in, the result was the same.

-Boom!

The cockpit of one of our compatriots, whose magic barrier was exhausted, was torn apart. Looking at the overflowing golden mana was enough to make me feel dizzy.

“Die!”

Screaming to overcome the fear of death rising from the bottom of his chest, one of the members ran towards him. Several members followed in his footsteps, but the result was the same. He was cut by an iron sword, and his limbs were cut off by enchantment magic.

The member who had screamed screamed and pulled the control stick, but the giant soldier, whose legs were all cut off, just struggled on the floor. The last thing he saw was a huge sword sticking into the cockpit.

-Hook!

Gilbert, who had roasted all the first five giant gods that attacked, looked at the general situation of the battle. There seemed to be some damage from our colossal soldiers, but thanks to the help of the Imperial Knights, there were no deaths yet.

[Article. We found a giant soldier who was judged to be the leader of the resistance just 700m ahead.]

“I’m chasing you.”

[Confirmed.]

The magic booster spewed fire fiercely. Gilbert rushed out and set out on the mission given to him and CT-777: to capture the Chairman of the Resistance.

At his sudden appearance, the resistance members who were fighting to protect the chairman were frightened and stopped him. However, every time the golden iron sword moved, it tended to fall over like rice straw.

There was no one here to stop Gilbert, who was going crazy as if he had become the embodiment of the battlefield. CT-777, who had figured out his fighting style based on his battle records, became even more outspoken when he briefed and supported only attacks that Gilbert had not predicted.

But there were more enemy giant soldiers than that.

[I will open the way for Gilbert!]

As soon as Professor Brianna’s communication came in, the Winter Sword-Ice Pick destroyed the two giant soldiers blocking him at once. It appeared to be more complete than what Gilbert had used in the previous comprehensive evaluation.

[Priest! Go quickly!]

Swinging an iron sword overflowing with red mana, he cast rapid acceleration upon hearing the voice of Seraphina, who cut down the remaining giant soldiers. There was pressure due to the sudden acceleration, but it was not a big problem for Gilbert, who has a strong body.

Overcoming the pressure with spirit, he maintained his rapid acceleration with the tip of his sword pointed toward the ground.

Soon, the moment the Giant God Soldier reached its maximum speed, the Resistance Chairman’s Giant God Soldier was right in front of him.

Winter Sword – Falling Wind

I drew my sword diagonally and passed the giant god soldier. For an instant, a cold wind blew around as if the air had been cut.

-Cow!

With a heavy sound, the giant soldier with both legs cut fell to the ground like a mountain collapsing. Gilbert’s Colossus turned red and looked down at the fallen Chairman’s Colossus.
