Many Crimson Mecha had entered the ruins, but anticipating an enemy attack, Fistoa had left five guardian magic machines behind. Responding immediately to the assault from Misumorofu, the guardian Crimson magic machines activated.

“I’ll deploy as well! Prepare immediately!”

“Wait a moment, Yukiha. The Crimson Mecha’s magic machines are functioning. Isn’t it better to leave this to them?”

Perhaps concerned for my safety, my father unusually spoke up.

“No, I can’t just sit back and let you take care of everything when I’ve asked for your protection. At the very least, I must show some sincerity by providing support.”

“However…”

“Compared to a while ago, I’ve grown quite a bit. If I focus on providing support, the danger won’t be that great.”

Thanks to the training techniques imparted by the Musou Iron Cavalry Corps, my Rudiya value had significantly increased. I wouldn’t lose to a standard rider.

After convincing my worried father, I boarded the Lasbera mk2. This machine was a new favorite, customized from the Amuria Federal Army’s mass-produced units, boasting high combat power.

“This is the Lasbera mk2 from the Amuria Kingdom; I will provide support, albeit modestly!”

I declared this through external output as the Crimson Mecha’s magic machines entered combat mode to confront the enemy.

“Is that the voice of Princess Yukiha?! No, please, leave this to us and step back!”

“There’s no problem. Right now, I’m just a rider, not royalty or a princess; you can think of me as such.”

“However, I will be scolded by the commander later.”

“I’ll talk to Fistoa about that. More importantly, let’s prepare for the enemy; they are almost here.”

With the enemy approaching, we plunged into combat, leaving the previous conversation aside. The attacking enemy consisted of around fifty machines, a significant numerical advantage. The riders of the Crimson Mecha, undaunted by the overwhelming numbers, bravely charged toward the enemy forces.

“Then Princess Yukiha, please provide support from the rear. Leave the front lines to us.”

It seemed they had given up on trying to make me fall back and directed me accordingly. Agreeing, I readied the long-range weapon I had brought for support.

The magic machines of the Crimson Mecha clashed with the wave of enemy attacks, managing to not only stop but also push back the tenfold enemy forces. As they continued to push forward, they cut down one enemy machine after another.

Perhaps shocked by being overpowered by a small number of us, the enemy formation broke apart. Targeting the scattered enemy machines, I fired the latest magic small cannon created using the techniques of the Musou Iron Cavalry Corps. Brilliant lightning shot from the tip of the small cannon, striking the enemy machines at high speed. As the lightning hit, the affected machines shimmered intensely before turning black. They then collapsed, twitching like puppets rendered motionless.

The weapon’s power was incredible, but it had the weakness of being unable to fire at close enemies. Therefore, when the enemy got too close, I found myself helpless, yet the magic machines of the Crimson Mecha worked well together, not allowing even a single enemy to approach the Lasbera mk2.

What incredible strength! Each individual’s skill was remarkable, but the teamwork demonstrated an even higher performance. Perhaps in a group battle, we might even surpass the Musou Iron Cavalry Corps.
