Dungeons for the Devil, Dungeons for the Core (Book Version Title: A Different World Dungeon Made with the Devil)

Chapter 222: Shaker Crusaders - Tackle the Raiders ~ 3. Advance! Crusaders (Part 1)

Well, it was a crusade that was carried away from the thoughts, but this was also a wave from the edge to the wave.

Even though preparations for the crusade are well underway, the location of the destination, or “shaker”, has not yet been determined. This is because the "Shaker" team's tactics of raiding and withdrawing were brilliant, but the merchants are calling for an immediate crusade, regardless of what such circumstances entail.

The half-opened Adventurer's Guild had probably stepped forward to dispatch the Crusade under the great prediction that it would be the site of the taste dungeon.

Even if there are no bandits (shakers) in the intended place and they are empty, it is because I am going to charge the merchants for the per diem and the expenses. When the merchants complained about this, they didn't specify a destination, and it was you who forced them to dispatch without giving them time to find and confirm the destination, so they could devour a tight reverse twist. Ning, it would be better if you swayed in the air.

In fact, the other group, the escorts and mercenaries dispatched by the merchants, were strictly asked to subdue the bandits whatever they wanted. Their enthusiasm - and their sadness - were not compared to adventurers, just because they were directly linked to employment and salaries.

And there were people from all over the world who secretly sent people to see things.....

It is a crusade that was divided into groups with temperature differences from the beginning of suppression, but the elements that further split the crusade there are standing blockages.

(In the first place), we know from the outset that "Shaker" is a difficult enemy. If the enemy (Shaker) is caged in the cave, his attack will require at least three times more troops. If you consider the enemy's level of training, you will probably need more than five times as many troops. However, unfortunately, the Crusader's battle force was not enough.

- So what do we do?

The idea was to split up into groups and approach the enemy from different directions, aiming for the enemy forces caught... It was too optimistic a plan to take on enemies who did not know their strength or formation.

The Squadron of Crusaders was divided into two teams, the Adventurer Team and the Merchant Dispatch Team - too thin a subdivision - and they were aiming for a dungeon site that seemed to be the base of the enemy army (Shaker).....

"Damn it! It's a dead end again!"

I wonder if you're really sure about this map?

Come on.

"... ohhh... what is this?" Did you let him grab the clutch with your hand? "

"Calm down. That's not what I mean."

"Then what do you mean!?"

The man begins to explain the situation as he exhales a sigh to a crimson coworker.

"In any case, the dungeon in question was crushed a hundred and twenty years ago." Since then, the map has not been updated. If you say this, you'll understand, right? "

"... I mean... even if the terrain and roads have changed in the last 120 years..."

"It's not reflected on the map...?"

Quickly and with a single word,

"... not only is it a road to the site of the dungeon, but it's also suspicious as a topographic map..."

Technically speaking, the site of the dungeon has been used several times as a root castle of bandits, and although it has been confirmed that the terrain and so on have changed during the crusade, the information has not been updated in the form of a map.

And in the event of such a situation, the countermeasures will have to be realistic and tempered,

"... I can't help it. I'll split up and find the right path."

"Before the crusade, everything was going like this, so you're okay..."

The Crusaders split into smaller groups.

"... apparently this is the right path..."

"Damn it... he's so angry he's hiding it."

It's no wonder that you're walking normally and you don't notice it, so let's see.

"All right, get the people who went elsewhere."

--- but

"...... Is that all?"

"You just came back in response to the call." The others didn't respond. "

It was self-evident that if those who did not have the busy communication means were dispersed, they would not be able to contact each other properly.

What are you going to do? Shall we wait a little longer?

"If the rendezvous is certain, that's fine too..."

"These people are hiding their way so far." It's no wonder there are other ways to hide it.... "

"... it's possible that the people who haven't come back are going that way..."

"However, if you wait so long, the sun will come." Because we're aiming for an ambush, we can't give a signal with a whistle or wolf smoke. "

"... I can't help it." Let's just leave the landmarks and move on. If you come after me, you'll notice the landmarks. "

As a result of this happening everywhere, the crusaders, who had a size comparable to that at the time of departure, were now divided into small groups of modest size.
