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

30% transfer of treasures.

Cities to be attacked also include Imperial Capital. If it is also a treasure to be gained from it, it will be uninterrupted, and even 30% of it will definitely be just enough to live and play for the rest of your life.

That's all the Glenvarga Empire means is serious about this offense.

"Um..."

"What?

"Why do we need to free the city when the attack of the labyrinth is our aim?

A young general of the Gardis Empire raises his hand.

"That's a good opinion. Let's start with the sights of each city this morning."

Six cities monitored from above are shown in the air.

"Few demons......?

"That's right. The number of demons in the city is low relative to the size of the city."

If you look at the boulevard, dozens of demons are roaring.

but still not as many people in the Gardis Empire felt when they fled.

"Why...?

"The reason demons raid cities is because there are so many humans."

For demons, man is only the bait that strengthens himself.

It is enough to absorb the magic that is naturally present if only to live.

"But the eviction of humans has left me without bait. Besides, the monsters are troublesome because cities are built to make it easier for humans to live."

I don't make cities in places that demons prefer.

As a result, the magic in the city is thin, making the city a difficult place to live for demons in the absence of feeding humans.

"Many demons have already gone out"

Demons chasing humans who fled outside.

Demons who moved to their original habitable places such as forests and caves.

"It would have been unintentional for demons to have expelled humans. But while I was tied to an order, I had to keep it just to get rid of it."

Filled with dissatisfaction, they went out of the city alive and hard doing their part by kicking them out.

Right now, being in the city is just a demon who can live without a problem.

And a demon under complete control.

"There's another reason"

"What's that?

"Mars. How much time do you guys need to travel to the labyrinth city of Ilkite?

I'll get back to Rio right away.

"If we leave here early in the morning, we can get there before the sun goes down"

"Become...!

The generals were losing their word.

Depositing the military of the Gardis Empire, they understood the exact distance to the labyrinth city of Ilkite. If you use a carriage, it takes a week. It's incredible to run through it and arrive in a day.

But he understood from my serious expression that it wasn't a lie.

"Well, given the current situation, it's absolutely impossible."

It's a normal story to be able to arrive in one day.

There is no need to rush further at normal times, and the haste makes you stand out, so reduce the speed. Three days were originally scheduled.

"Now there's a demon on the way. Whether it's a detour or an interception, time will be taken."

"That's right."

"Ko, this is...!

The next thing you see is what the plains look like.

It's a plain between Kerdick and Wingle.

"The Plains of Mardaba have become an important farming zone supporting agriculture in the Gardis Empire. Thanks to its natural richness, it is a wonderful place to see"

Such a place makes it a place rich in magic that demons prefer.

It is impossible to go on without being found by demons because of the better view.

Really, an unavoidable area of battle.

"It would be impossible for us to get there in a day if we were to bypass such a wide area."

"And the demons among them will be a myriad of things."

What the demons are ordered to do is drive the people in the Gardis Empire to the Glenvarga Empire.

However, given Zeon's purpose, it may not apply to humans who, on the contrary, are about to go behind the Gardis Empire.

"We'll definitely need a few days to get around"

In the meantime, I also get the need to rest.

But I can't help but rest my body in a situation where there are tons of demons overflowing.

"Let's explain the operation. Put an army into the city and destroy the demons in the city. Then [Sat] repair the outer walls broken by those who can use magic"

Prepare sturdy walls without worrying about appearance.

So I withstand raids from the outside.

"But I don't know what happened to the other cities, but the Imperial City became unbearable hours after the raid began."

"It's broken?

"... no, we made it a priority to let the residents escape by deciding they couldn't stand it"

The few hours before the fall of the Empire was judged were bearable.

"You can endure a day or so if you prioritize stubbornness. They made me look at the current state, but it looks like the fragile part around the gate broke down and allowed the demon to break in. As long as we can repair it, we can use it again."

"I see..."

Though convinced by the words, the general, who once experienced a massive raid of demons, did not seem convinced somewhere in his mind.

"Sorry, but I'm forced to convince you"

"Why is that?

"Mars, the party will stay warm in the labyrinth attack. Because in a city recapture, you only get help if you have an unexpectedly strong enemy."

At the end of the day, he wingles and puts his body in full condition, attacking Ilkite all at once.

I'm going to ask the military to cooperate on the road.

"Gardis, the Imperial Army will have you attacked in the main."

"Oh, us...!?

"That's right. Exactly. My army is not as familiar with geography within the Empire as you are. But you guys know places and secret loopholes that are hard to find by demons, right?

……

Three generals shut up.

If it were a big city, there would be a secret entrance and exit available only in an emergency, what a paranoia I would have tried to say...

"Is there?"

"… it uses as it is the city that was originally used as the royal capital of kings. So there is a secret way out that only royalty knows. But we, the general, have not been informed."

"If you're a lord, you know? Perhaps they've been evacuating here too, so catch them..."

"No, I haven't even been informed by my lord"

"Then who..."

"I am the Emperor."

A secret way out built for emergency escape.

But now the Emperor was only informed as a place to unknowingly break in when the coup broke out.

"He'd be just fine. It's easier to crack your mouth now than a lord."

I won't let you say no.

"But... going to a dangerous place like that..."

"It's dangerous, so I'm gonna ask you guys to go."

"Huh..."

Even trained soldiers, such as countries overflowing with demons, are dangerous.

I don't know how many people can return, even if they didn't intend to destroy it.

"I need your help. I promised my support, but I don't even have enough room to feed millions. The response is to reduce equally the amount of support given to everyone or to make a difference for any reason"

It is Rio who is in a position to hold on to that reason.

"Let's give preferential treatment to soldiers and families who have participated in this operation enough food to get there. The cost of a dangerous mission is sufficient support. Unfortunately, it's impossible to give everyone enough food."

If we can return the treasure, it is possible to prepare it.

However, the liberation of the Gardis Empire is essential for this purpose.

"... ok, ok"

One of the generals responded after getting lost. The other two can't disagree either and seem to be willing to accept it because they are unresponsive.

They also have a family to feed. We must have considerable difficulty, such as climbing down to the general while being civilians. That's all they had reason to be unscrupulous.

"Don't even think about betrayal. There are too many hostages over here."
