Butch went on horseback to examine the giant bronze statue. He looked at it with admiration. Balanced proportions. Ideal muscle tone. And the tilt of the neck according to the golden ratio. A reproduction of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture that served as a model for Renaissance art. When Butch looked up from nearby. Its face of the bronze statue was shining divinely in the sunlight. Its belly was toned and had a six pack. Butch felt miserable in comparison to his body with its belly fat. He wanted to prostrate himself on the ground and worship the bronze statue. His men have also arrived. Butch examined the statue's sandaled feet and found bolts in each heel.
"Ptooey!" The Tall Texan spat at the bronze statue. If it was a Christ statue, he might not have spat, but this statue was a pagan statue. But blaspheming God was the same thing.
There was a creaking sound.
"What?"
The arm of the bronze statue holding the sword slowly began to move.
"That's incredible......"
The giant bronze statue swung its sword vigorously at Butch and the others.
The damned Texan was smashed with the sword along with his horse.
"Run away!"
Butch shouted while being splashed with blood. He knew when to run from his bank robbery experience. In a bank robbery, the most important thing was not to take the money, but to escape. Trying to escape with all the money will take time. There is a high risk of being caught and hanged. The only way to avoid it is to run away quickly. Butch didn't look at the bag of moneys on the Texan horse. His men knew it too, and they all ran away as fast as they could.
The Bronze Giant chased after them with long strides. Butch heard the giant swinging its sword around, but didn't turn around. He scanned all the way ahead for a place to hide. There was a hole in the red mountain wall. Butch and the others could go through it, but the hole was too small for the giant statue. Butch shouted orders to his men.
"Let's Go!"
Butch headed straight for the hole in the wall while letting out a high-pitched scream.
