A group of rogue devils held a secret underground eting in a private bar in the Holy Central Region's capital city.
It was still a third of the night, the perfect ti to act in the dark. They were discussing sothing about a grand plan.
"I heard that humans are developing sothing called a cha golem."
"Yeah, it's more powerful than those holy golems or whatever it's called."
pàпdá-ňᴏνêι.сóМ "Holy Church is the one developing the project."
"If they succeed in developing that weapon of destruction, will the devils be threatened?"
"It's unlikely to happen because Devil Emperor has never gone all out on the battlefield. No one knows how many trump cards he hides under his sleeves. No matter how powerful human's combat power developnt is, it will never rival the devil."
"Wouldn't it be a good opportunity if we can take those cha golems for ourselves? According to my informants, it doesn't need to be operated with holy magic. We can get the Devil Emperor's favor or build our own force.
"Stealing those golems might be good."
"You an we're going to be like mountain bandits with an army of cha golems?"
"The Holy Pope and prominent figures left the capital city yesterday. So, this city only has a few Saint-level knights as top combatants. We are moving now."
"Is that going to be alright? We might offend the Goddesses. The supre leaders of all races have also sworn an oath in the treaty within the Union Alliance."
"Stealing one or two will bring no harm. The manufacturer is close, and we must take advantage of this opportunity. If the cha golem is not good, then it is fine to steal a few of those golem knights."
"That sounds good. Those knight golems can be operated only with magic and energy cores."
The rogue devils discussed and reached an agreent. That night, they would spring into action to steal so golems for personal gain.
A dozen Master and Great Master-level devils rushed into the manufacturing underground. They moved like shadows in the dark night and slipped in like shrewd assassins.
No one noticed their presence until they entered the dungeon, where the cha golems were being produced.
Several holy and knight golems were already lined up neatly in the hangar.
*Swoosh*
The rogue devils moved quickly to knock everyone on guard unconscious. They destroyed the surveillance chanics, then went around the hangar without holding back their laughter.
"Haha, that's so easy. All these golems belong to our gang!"
"Shh, don't shout."
"Don't touch the holy golems unless you want to get hurt. They have so residual holy power."
"We can only put two golems in the space bag at max. There are twenty of us here. So, we can at least have one each for us."
"Yeah, choose which one you like. These knight golems are good, but unfortunately, the cha golems aren't yet finished."
"Let's leave a little present for the humans later, keke."
The rogue devils walked around like a bunch of kids choosing their toys. Thirty knight golems were stolen from the hangar, and they decided to withdraw imdiately.
"You ca in a hurry, stealing like a thief, but you at least didn't kill anyone here. Why don't you stay a bit longer?"
A woman's cold voice sounded from above. The devil thieves were alard and imdiately took distance.
A white-haired cat lady in white battle armor sat cross-legged on the hangar's bridge. Her bright blue predatory eyes looked down at the thieves.
"One, two, three... a lot. About twenty thieves. Ella, Ariel, how are you going to handle this? I thought this holy city had been free of devil thugs from both surface and underground since what happened that day." Vanessa glanced at the holy princess and holy knight at the two exits.
"My apologies. The Knight Order has been mobilized since the attack on the Holy Cathedral. The holy knights purged all evil forces from the holy city. However, so rats might have escaped the cleaning. It's fine if they're good devils like Sylvi, but they're just bandits who dared to steal the holy church's properties." Ariel apologized politely and respectfully. Shot a death glare at the devil thieves.
"The escape route has been sealed, and you have been surrounded. We shall arrest you for further investigation. Surrender, and no one will get hurt. Holy Chain!" Ella raised her magic staff. Dozens of gold chains erged from the ground, binding the thieves.
"Two Saints-level knights and a Spirit-level priest? You underestimate us too much." The thief leader grinned, moving like a shadow to avoid the golden chain shackles.
Only four were caught in the shackles of Ella's golden chain among the twenty thief devils.
One of the agile devils did a quick scan using sound waves. He found that there was no one within a five-hundred-ter radius. All the humans around were confird to be lying on the ground in an unconscious state.
After feeling sure of that, he smirked and imdiately told his comrades. "Brothers, let's use our knight golems and show them our might! If we can silence them, then our escape will occur. There is no siege around as they speak. It's nothing but their bluff!"
The devil thieves scoffed at the three surrounding people, but that was their last arrogant smile. They were beaten up into pulp by the three girls without them having the chance to use their knight golem body armor.
Vanessa, Ariel, and Ella were more than enough to handle a bunch of bandits.
"How will you deal with them? Can you contact the authorities in the Holy Knight Order?" Vanessa tied up the last devil thief with a steel rope.
"My grandfather seems to be busy. We ca here to check on Ely's cha golem, but who would have thought we would catch a bunch of devils daring to steal in the holy church's territory." Ella took out a particular stone tablet. She wrote an ergency call to the holy knight to co to her location.
"I have requested ergency reinforcents to the Holy Knight Order with my authority. They should be here in a few minutes." Ella nodded in confirmation.
"Alright." Vanessa turned around and inspected the golems in the hangar. Most of them were mass-produced, and the cha golem still needed to be assembled.
The ch ones range in size from three to five ters. However, Vanessa could not find one resembling her master's miniature cha.
"Wait, is it possible here is a manufacturer for mass production? So, where is the real version of the limited edition super class replica? The first generation cha for our master." Vanessa realized sothing obvious.
"Err..." Ella averted her gaze as Vanessa stared at her. She didn't know about all of her grandfather's secret bases. She only knew this golem manufacturer because it was an open secret.
*Bam*
The gate was opened. A troop of holy knights entered the underground manufacturing golem with solemn expressions. They found many scientists and guards already unconscious. Not to ntion, they ca because of an ergency call from the holy princess herself!
"Devils? What exactly happened?" The holy knight captain frowned upon discovering the dozen tied-up devils.
"The situation is like this." Ariel took the trouble to explain the whole situation. Starting from their arrival, they found and followed a group of thieves on the street.
"Please forgive our incompetence, her holy highness. We failed to spot a group of devil thieves infiltrating this place." The captain bowed apologetically.
"You have worked hard. The Holy Knight Order has hunted down the remaining devils from the holy city. The Devil Emperor also withdrew all his spies from the holy city to comply with the peace treaty. Since they could infiltrate the holy city, they might have been hiding inside from the start. They also don't belong to any force. Retrieve what they stole and investigate this case. We have to uproot the other hidden threat from the holy city." Ella gave her orders.
"Yes, her holy highness!" The holy knights answered in unison.
"Ah, please help those who are unconscious too. The devils only kept them unconscious because they didn't want to invite the wrath of the holy church and the Goddesses." Ella almost forgot one important thing.
"Understood." The captain rushed to lead his troop to bring the unconscious people to safety first. The devil thieves were also taken away.
Vanessa tapped her chin, and an idea ca to mind. She approached Ella. Her fluffy tail kept swaying to the right and left. "Well, since we don't know where it is, let's ask your grandfather, Ella. We only ca to see Master Ely's cha and its progress, not to bother him with anything troubleso."
"O-okay..." Ella obeyed the request. She sent word to her grandfather using a special golden telecommunications talisman, and a response ca almost a mont later.
"My grandfather is currently in the southern region. Let's go to the Holy Cathedral. Soone is already waiting for us there." Ella gave an eye signal to Vanessa and Ariel.
Therefore, they left the affairs of this place to the holy knights and went to the Holy Cathedral. The Holy Pope has ordered soone to entertain the arrival of the Holy Princess there.
Ella was then guided to the particular manufacture under the Holy Cathedral. In this secret place, the unique cha golems were assembled.
"Whoa... It's already half done." Vanessa was amazed by the sparkle in her eyes.
The cha golem before her eyes was similar to her master's limited edition miniature. It was seven ters tall and equipped with threatening weaponry, wings, shield, and big cannons!
Even though it was only half finished, it already looked perfect. The inside was empty as the machines had not yet finished.
