Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)

"Fine. Accept surrender."

You must have realized enough of the fear of dealing with me.

You can't survive without being surrounded by cliffs on the left and right and behind you and dealing with a mighty enemy named 'me' in the front.

The action they took, surrounded by despair on all sides, was' stay on the spot '.

"Oh, you're going to be a prisoner. Promise me your life."

"Absolutely."

I'll vouch for your life.

"Labyrinth Operation: Cage"

Ten meters of "cages" made of the same material as "walls" appear near me.

I didn't want to use 'cage' if it was true.

I never even tried it out of spiritual aversion because the purpose for which this was first created was so inhumane.

"If you're going to surrender, go inside this cage. If you're in a cage, I swear I won't attack you."

"Right."

Go to the cage with a reassuring look somewhere.

But my leg stops when I hear what I'm saying.

"If you are in a cage, we will treat you politely as a 'criminal slave', so we will not imitate you to harm the product."

"... what?

Nobody said anything about assuring you of your identity.

"Don't be ridiculous! Although it would be common sense for enemy humans caught in war to be taken prisoner!

"That is if you follow the proper procedures to wage war. Have you declared war against the kingdom? This battle was ambushed without a declaration of war. I will never admit you are enemy knights."

The knight seemed speechless and his mouth was puckering.

The tsuke that came here and ambushed me without even declaring war came around.

I'm the first to declare that I'm not a "war," and I'm calling them "bandits."

Why should we take the bandits prisoner?

If you caught a bandit, it would be more efficient to only feed and treat him as a 'criminal slave' than to get a ransom.

The knight thinks of his treatment and then leaves.

"If you don't like slaves, you don't have to go into a cage. In that case, you're going to have me kill you or you're going to fall into a pit. Pick any one you like."

"Ugh..."

In the end, I chose to go into a cage to see if I could replace my life.

At the moment of entering the cage, a collar, a sign of slavery, appears above the void and is fitted in the knight's neck.

"The cage is specially made so that the collar of the slave is automatically attached to the neck of a human imprisoned from himself"

Labyrinth Manipulation: Cages are skills developed independently by the Labyrinth Master (Dungeon Master) who was there a long time ago to gain slaves.

What is the most efficient way for the labyrinth to gain magic power?

It's about keeping the powerful magicians in the labyrinth at all times.

But if you stay longer than your limit, your magic will run out and you won't be able to move. The adventurer leaves the labyrinth unless he is in a situation where he cannot move his body due to an injury or something.

At the time of the development, the way I had no choice but to knit out because I really needed a lot of magic was to enslave and kill a captive opponent from me.

The condition that slavery was made possible by the granting of the condition of "being imprisoned from myself" was necessary even when I used it.

For that reason, they had made them choose to become slaves after pressing for 'death' and 'life' in dangerous places if they were to be used in the labyrinth. Of course I needed a ton of magic. I was freeing myself from slavery after I had run errands.

At the end of the day, I hated the labyrinth manipulation that forced me into slavery, even though I liberated him.

"Well, who else wants to be a slave?

Brightly tell them not to understand my mood.

There's no such thing as a guy who goes into a cage from himself when he says it like that... there were dozens of people approaching the cage if they didn't know what to do.

I get flat as it is.

Throw a knife and add another nine cages.

One person after another enters the ten cages.

Oh, there's a soldier persuading a 20-year-old or so who was luxuriously equipped to be nearby to cage in the back. Let's use magic to pick up our voices.

"Young lady, let's get caught here"

"!? You weren't looking! You're gonna be a slave when you get into that cage!?

"But life helps."

"You want me to be a slave to the next owner of the Rankle family!? I'd rather die than be a slave!

"If you die, it's all over there. But if you live as a slave, your husband may find you and set you free. The Rankles only have younger sisters and younger brothers, except the young ones. My husband will think about the Rankles and make sure they let the young man go."

"Ugh, um..."

Apparently, the luxuriously equipped young man is like a nobleman's trail, and it's like a guard, not a soldier, who's persuading him.

Why are the nobles on the battlefield?

On second thought, this war was a winning and natural ambush operation if I didn't intervene.

I took part in the victory.

Participation alone will certainly be a feat, and as a nobleman it will definitely be foiled with martial arts. What a joke reason to join.

I was going to ask those who enslaved me to engage in the reconstruction of their rough villages and their pioneering in secluded places, but I would ask them to work in mines that are completely untouched by the nobility of them. If the Imperial aristocrats find us, it's going to be a hassle.

"But if you've ever been a slave..."

Looks like he's still lost.

I want you to decide what to do.

- Dgowong!

That's when there was an explosion on the north side.

I can see the flame of the explosion rising higher than the outer wall from here far away.

"What?"

It would be a magical explosion because I can feel massive magic.

And I only knew one person who could use magic on this scale.

"Melissa, what have you done!?

The north side was left to Melissa.

Definitely by Melissa.

'... I don't want to answer'

But the response is no.

I don't think Melissa would use massive magic senselessly. Something happened.

'That's what I'm asking you. At first it was for the purpose of collecting equipment, so I was magically wiping out enemy soldiers while at close range, but even if over a hundred soldiers were defeated by one Melissa, the enemy had absolutely no way of surrendering because Melissa was a woman...'

The labyrinth nucleus gives us a light answer.

"At the end of the day, I used Ignisflame to erase it with the momentum to blow everything away"

"Oh man..."

The most powerful of the Labyrinth Magic fire attributes I can use.

'... it's okay. I did the least I could do.'

You know, I can tell you a lot about keeping one side of the perimeter open.

I can't stop laughing at the labyrinth nucleus for how much I got into my bumps.

"Well, I hope you're okay."

'... Yes'

"I just need the streets to be restored as soon as possible, so why don't you join me?"

"Of course, sir."

Looks like Melissa's done.

'I envy that there is an extermination attack. There are about fifty of us left.'

Sylvia also contacted me.

"I wanted to go around that way if I could, but it's time for you to be done."

"No, we still have things to do, so rendezvous can be slow, Ira."

Copy that.

Looks like we're both safe.

"Hey, what's with the explosion now..."

I am flabbergasted to see the explosion caused by the Imperial Army by Melissa.

"You surrender? Or are we going to fight? Time to get this straight?

How impactful was Ignisflame? Empire soldiers as well as adventurers go into cages one after another.

All that was left was 100 Imperial soldiers.

They could not choose to die or become slaves.

"We are proud Imperial soldiers. There's still a way left."

The only road left - the front.

Break through me and get to Krashel.

"Fine. You should try and see if you can break through."

"All hands, assault!

A hundred people come in together.

It's probably due to the intention that if we storm at the same time, someone might be able to pull out.

I seem to have forgotten, but there are hundreds of Krashel troops ahead of me out there, and you seriously think you can win with a hundred?

No, that's simply making you less afraid of anything else that scares me.
