The Dwarf Tank Unit poured out of the great mine defeated the knights led by Adon and continued their rapid advance.
They pass through the watch fort of the great mine and there were no obstacles until they reach the great Lord’s residence. Beside the lake overflowing with thawing water, a tank raced across the grassland.
「That’s the great lord’s castle! This tank will level everything for us!」
In the eyes of the dwarves leading the tank, the blue castle towering in the distance.
「Greedy bastards! Don’t get carried away!!」
The knight who discovered the dwarves’ tanks leaped out of the castle in pieces and began an attack, but he was struck by divine iron armor and failed to land an effective blow; he was then hit by counterattack bullets and fell.
「W-What fools, if this continues…Don’t let them advance any further!! Stop them or they’ll cause an avalanche into the castle!!」
「I know, but their armor won’t break, my magic won’t break through!!」
The knights who were supposed to be the elites, were defeated helplessly. The knights, who fortunately managed to avoid the downpour of bullets were heading back, unsure of what to do.
They were Kiryu knights, boasting immense magic, but if ithat power is taken away, they’re too fragile.
「Hahahaha!! Go! Go! Smash the lair of those arrogant dragons and turn them into their grave markers!!」
The desperate stalling of the knights achieved little, and finally, the vanguard of the tank unit tries to break free of the grassland. Just as they tried to reach the castle wall…
Gouu!!!
The tremendous infernor erupted and spread in an instant.
「Whose magic is that? No! It don’t matter whose magic it was, with our armorーーwhat?」
The knights let out a surprised noise.
The unleashed inferno struck the ground beneath the tank, not the armor, and tore a massive hole in the grassland.
「What?! Y-You annoying lizards! What?」
The tanks who lost their scaffold had fallen into the holes, colliding with each other while making deep bass sounds.
「Guh, they saw that their attacks didn’t reach the tank’s main body and aimed for the footholds. However, earth is our ally! We can recover from this obstacle right away!」
The commander barked energetically inside the ranks who were underfoot.
Dwarves have have high physical strength that they won’t sustain a single wound at this level. Even their study tanks are fine with some collision.
And operating on the ground is the specialty of the Dwarves. Even if you drop them to a pit, they can escape by manipulating magic to create slopes or by raising the ground.
「Now, let’s leave this hole immediatelyー Hmm, what’s that sound?」
Gogogogogo…
With the limited view inside the tank at the bottom of the pit, you can’t grasp what’s happening around.
The Dwarf Commander, managing to lift the vehicle body was checking his surroundings, saw…
「W-What?!!!」
He saw a large amount of water pouring down from the lake.

「Good. Lina-chan, Sophie-oneesama. Thanks, it went according to plan. That’s amazing」
I praise the two people standing next to me.
Lina-chan makes a smug face, saying “Obviously!” and Sophie-oneesama nods back with a calm expression.
The armor of the weapon that the dwarves have broughtーwhich they decided to call the tank based on it’s appearanceーhad been said to nullify magic attacks, according to the messenger knight who had just rushed in.
After hearing that, Philip immediately judged that it might be an armor made from divine iron (orichalcum), but he said that magic doesn’t conduct through divine iron.
A precious substance that even Lord Philip has almost never seen. It’s strange how they manage to prepare such a large amount of rare metal, but since it was already here, there’s no choice but to take countermeasures.
So, instead of conquering their mana nullifying armor, we decided to drop them to a hole and subject them to water torture. Lina-chan made the trap and Sophie-senpai manipulated the lake water. It seems that they can’t null water that already exists without magic.
And now, a follow up strike to prevent them from surfacing while they’re drowning in panic.
「Nasha-chan, could you freeze all that water for me?」
「Of course, I’ll turn everyone into ice statues!」
If water manipulated by magic can’t be erased, then freezing them by magic won’t also erase them, right?
