Dusky dawn.

Four wagons were running at high speed through the wasteland, which was becoming increasingly desolate as fall approached.

Rattling rattling.

Even though the road condition was not that good, the carriages remained stable without much shaking. It was clear that the bottom of the carriage was equipped with a simple shock absorber. Advanced equipment that is too high to be used as a wagon.

Above the pure white packaging of those carriages, you can see the clean name of the top where the paint has just dried.

-Bertrand & Lee

The place where the carriage is running is an old trade route connecting old Ortona and Regina. It was currently an abandoned road with few passers-by.

It is very unusual for a cart from the upper level to travel to such a deserted place without an escort.

just as expected. There was a group of bandits lying low under the sparse bushes, waiting for the carriage to approach.

"It's true! "The upper carriage is really coming this way!"

"okay. "The Marquis d'Arciano's information was correct."

"That's true, but are you sure there's no harm in stealing that, boss?"

Then their leader, the hairy boy, reassured his ragtag group of untrustworthy subordinates.

"Don't worry. I heard that it is a small merchant ship that has just started to ascend. Moreover, a carriage traveling on a remote road like this would definitely not be trading honorable goods."

"Is that so?"

"Of course. Now, look over there! The only people left are the four drivers who drive the carriage. "How badly would you want to keep it a secret?"

It certainly was. No matter how much I wash my eyes and search, I can't see any sign of anyone except the coachmen at the top.

In particular, the coachman driving the lead carriage is a curly old man who is dying! The tension disappeared from the thieves' faces, and a hint of hope slowly began to appear.

"Even if I end up completely penniless, I won't be able to go anywhere and complain that it's unfair. Now, stop worrying about things and let's go!"

With the furry boy in the lead who jumped out of his seat, the thieves quickly ran down the street and blocked the front of the carriage.

Hee hee hee!

The old coachman was startled and pulled the reins, and suddenly the bit was tightened and the horses let out a pitiful neigh.

After confirming that the carriages had come to a complete stop, the fur boy took a step forward and shouted triumphantly.

"Inspiration! Leave those carriages and get out of here right now! Then I'll spare your life!"

But at that moment, something very surprising happened right before the thieves' eyes.

Fight! Tuk!

Suddenly, the packaging was torn violently, and large boxes popped out one by one from each wagon.

"... ... ?!"

They were not surprised by the box flying in the air -

Slam! Slam! Coo!

The carriages gathered in one place twisted around and merged, eventually transforming into a gigantic giant. A terrifying ice monster that appears to be almost 10 meters tall!
