《The Overspace Magus Emperor》Chapter 5 'The First Battle' R
Advertisement
Morning came as the sun started to rise and waking up every single people in the territory that still sleeping in their home. The warm sunlight warming everyone that was diligently working in the field and the one outside there.
As I get down from my bed, I hear a knock on the door. Then after giving my acknowledgment to the other side, the head maid Tia came in with the maids under her supervision behind her. The maids then come near me and start changing my clothes as if it was a normal thing.
‘It has been four days since I transmigrate to this world and it has been a daily occurrence for the maid to change my clothes as if it was common sense.’ My face showing resigns expression, accepting the state that was happening right now.
In this world, noble live in luxury. It was a normal thing for the maids that work in the mansion to attend to their lord. Although I wasn’t used to something like this, just to keep my profile in check and to not make them suspicious, I do what Wyne do before. And before long, I was used to it.
‘Thinking back, the Common language people use in this world resemble English and a few other languages in a certain way. With Wyne's memory in hand and my English proficiency, I don't quite mind the different language before.’ Thinking that I was amused by my ignorant.
After I finished getting ready, I left the bedroom and have breakfast in the dining hall just as usual. Then I go to the hill in the back of the mansion to check on the progress of things and then go to the field to continue my sword training again.
There is nothing unusual happening in the morning and the afternoon, just that the Robots found a small iron and copper deposit not far from the hill and started mining immediately. They also scavenge some rare resources on the way.
As the sun started to go down, I receive a report from Vonix,
[“Master, the scavenge team found a huge beast with the shape of a boar with a giant tusk around 3 meters in height and 4 meters long is heading to the Mining team, what action should we take?”]
As there is a need to do mining and gathering resources at the same time, I divide the Robots into two groups consisting of twenty each.
“Could you gauge its strength?” I asked in concern for the unknown.
[“From the data gathered from its movement and body structure, the beast has a strength of at least around level 3 extraordinary lifeform or around 3rd Rank Apprentice Knight”] Vonix replied in a calculative not pitched voice.
“As strong as Sir Gareth then, gather all the Robots halfway to the mining site and prepare an ambush! Also, equip them with spear and crossbows as we are fighting a big monster so sword won’t be effective!” I commanded sternly as I prepared my equipment and my weapon.
[“Affirmative”]
Then I go to the location where the ambush will be done and hide behind a bush with my Robots in ambush position.

As I wait for about 10 minutes, I hear a sound of thumping from the shrubs in front of me and from there appear a huge boar that could easily dwarf me in height if compared side by side, the boar has a giant tusk with red pupil that look menacing.
As I was observing the boar, my body started sweating like crazy, my leg became limp like jelly and my heart couldn’t stop throbbing as if it was ready to burst. Then Vonix warned me,
["Host is in a panic state, suggested to take a deep breath and calm down"] Then I did as it said and felt a lot better.
‘If I was this panic to a mere boar than what right do I have for world domination?’ I was quite disappointed to myself for being a little scared to an oversized boar.
Then as the boar was about to reach the location to start the ambush, it suddenly stops and starts looking to the ambusher in position.
“Shit, start the ambush now!!” I was panicked by the boar sudden stop and began the ambush.
Just as I finish commanding with my mind, a ten or so crossbow user Robots suddenly sprang up and fired their metallic crossbow. Ten or so bolt splitting the air aiming for the boar.
‘Trukk’ nine out of ten or so crossbow bolts hit the boar, but only a few of it manages to pierce the boar slightly and with the majority of it got deflected.
“Huerrrr..” The boar was becoming angry instead of being in agony and it began charging ahead.
“Shit, a metallic crossbow only manages to injure it slightly, time for Plan B!” I hastily change the plan as I was scared by the mad boar.
Then twenty or so Robots wearing a steel spear emerge from behind the boar and charging the boar, like an endless tsunami.
As the boar was in the middle of charging, it smashes into two of the crossbow user Robots and send it flying 4 or so meters with its giant tusk. The boar was charging like a bullet train and were way too fast for the Robots to dodge the attack.
Then the boar rotates back like a U-turn to charge at remaining Robots, just as it was about to crash into three or so crossbow Robots, the Robots already finish reloading the crossbow and fire at the boar one more time, thought the boar this time was prepared and manage to avoid the majority of the bolts.
Fortunately, one of the bolts hit the eye of the boar and make it half-blind and it screams in agony.
“Hickkkk” the boar screams and were instead charging into a tree ahead of it.
The tree collapsed and slowed the boar a little making the spear user Robots manage to catch up with it. The Robots then pierce its tip and manage to injure the boar. the pain caused by the numerous bloody hole wounds, make the boar thrashing around in agony. One of the Robots in front got its body pierce by the giant tusk and was incapacitated. The others, not minding its kin got destroyed continue attacking the boar.

Not long after the boar was ganged up, the boar collapsed to the ground bleeding with one of it tusk broken because of clashing it again and again to a metal Robots.
"Damn, finally dead!" I said while wiping my sweat from my forehead and relieve that this ordeal is over.
This was the first time Alex had a life and death battle situation despite not the one fighting it directly. If the Robots army were too lost instead, he could only turn his back with a tail between his leg hoping that the boar not chasing. He wasn’t even a Knight Apprentice yet, how could a mortal such as him fight a beast like that. Fortunately, the Robots manage to wins quite easily.
“Vonix, could you examine the damage?” I asked as I wipe my cold sweat that had moisten my entire head.
[“Positive, one of the robots that got pierce couldn’t be used, it need to be smelt and reforged, two of the robots that got thrown off was badly damaged and needed to be repaired and eight of the spear user Robots got light damage and only need slight repair”] Vonix reported.
As I was too inexperienced controlling the Robots individually and time was tight, what I could do the best was to use the human wave tactic or Robot wave tactic in this case.
‘Yeah, definitely gonna improve on that.’ I clench my fist for my incapability and desire to improve.
Then I order the slightly damaged Robots to carry the three badly damaged Robots to the Assembler Chamber to be repaired.
After all of that was done, I order the Robots to take the boar and bring it to the mansion. As I reach the mansion, the people in the mansion see me in a perplexed and surprised expression. Then a man in butler uniform approaches me with a bewildered look.
“Young Master, Are those Golems? And the thing they are carrying is…“Sebastian’s eyes almost popped out for being so shock.
“What is it?” I asked the bewildered Sebastian.
"That creature is the one that has caused casualties among the people, the Giant Tusk Boar.” Said Sebastian speechless.
“Is it? Then it’s good that I have taken care of the problem.” I said reassuringly while rubbing my nose.
“Then where does the Golems come from?” asked Sebastian suspiciously.
‘Thiss…….' I started sweating thinking what I should say to answer the question when suddenly something shines in my head.
“It’s a long story, but in short I acknowledged a master and become his disciple," I said full of confident without any trace of shame.
“A master?” Sebastian warily watch the golem, then as if in a tacit understanding, he nodded his head. "It's good that Young Master has an excellent master."
“Talk that aside, could you handle this boar and sell it to a good buyer?” I asked while casting my eye to the boar corpse.
“Of course, Young Master doesn’t need to worry.” He said full of confident.
Then I left the boar’s corpse in the mansion and order the Robots army to go back and do their job. After that was done, I left the premise while smiling secretly for my brilliant plan.
‘Bringing something like Robots and futuristic weapons will bring a lot of suspicion, but by saying that I have a mysterious master will solve the problem in one go, feels like killing two… no three birds with one stone!’ I amusingly smile without thinking about the consequence.
Then I go back to the mansion to have dinner and continue my Knight Breathing Technique in the bedroom not knowing the danger that will come because of the Golems and the mysterious master.

Not far from Xendra’s territory, in a pathway of a forest, a group of fifty or so well equip bandit was seen, sneaking to the territory with horses. The one leading the group is an imposing man wearing a knight armor without a banner in its chest. Then there is a gloomy middle-aged man with a skull head staff following the man from behind. Suddenly the imposing man open his mouth and said,
“This mission sure is suck, for the Lord to make an official Knight like me to impersonate as a bandit is lowering my pedigree.” Rambling the imposing man nonstop resentfully.
“Barto shut up, this mission is very important! I don’t want anything bad happening in this." The gloomy middle-aged man said harshly.
“Don’t get cocky just because you are close with the Lord.” The imposing knight threatens the gloomy middle-aged man with his aura.
“Humpp” the gloomy middle-aged man turns his face away.
‘Just you wait until I got ‘that’, if I get it and got promoted to an official Magus, then even Count Sanchez will need to curry favor to me when that time comes, hehe…’ The gloomy middle-age man smirk in his heart with a hidden malicious intent.
Count Sanchez and the gloomy middle-aged man is indeed the one that had been scheming to occupy Xendra’s territory four days ago.
As they meet more clearing in the forest, they decided to make a camp as it was already sunset. When the camp has been set and the group of knights starting to eat, they hear a group of creatures coming and start watching from the dark.
‘Awooooo….’ A sound of a beast howling could be heard from the depth of the forest.
“Damn! A pack of wolves, everyone gets into position.” The imposing Knight Barto commanded as he ready his weapon.
“Yes, Sir!” The knights, that was about to eat before starting to prepare their weapons and got to position as ordered.
‘This might take longer and troublesome than expected.’ The gloomy middle age man that was watching from behind thought and start casting a spell.
The night isn’t as quiet as ever.
