Meanwhile, Sigyn assembles a special Golem force led by Narvi with Rygart, her older brother Nile and Sniper Loggin under her command including Girghe. Girghe is General Baldr's son and a talented Golem pilot who has been given Cleo's Golem but he is a former criminal who killed his teammates without reason which Baldr warns Rygart to be careful with his son and kill him if he does anything suspicious. As General True and General Baldr's forces head out, Rygart trains with his teammates to better use the Delphine while Hodr asks the Orlando Empire for help. Before leaving, Sigyn, who is revealed to be in love with Rygart, makes him promise to come back safely. Unknown to Rygart and co. General True is killed in battle after being ambushed by the Athenians led by Io and Nike, the Golem commander who killed General True. As a siege battle begins between Baldr focres on a hill and Borcuse forces attacking, an officer named Elsa notices a small opportunity and convinces the General to let her lead a small Golem detachment to kill Borcuse who is currently protected by five of his officers. However much to their shock, Borcuse and his men kill all of Elsa's forces despite being outnumbered 20 to 6 and is one cruel act, Borcuse orders Nike to drag and show Elsa's cockpit to the Krisnan defenders to demoralize them. However, Baldr uses Elsa death into anger and orders all of his Golems to attack Borcuse's army. As Baldr's forces are cornered by Borcuse on both flanks, they are soon rescued by Rygart and his teammates as they decimate the left flank, forcing Borcuse to order his army to retreat. As they escape into a valley, Borcuse forces get ambushed by Girghe who quickly subdues Nike's Golem and proceeds to fight Borcuse and his officers.
