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

The murder report brought a severe earthquake to the Royal Castle of Theodoram.

"He said that Shrek's iron mine was dungeoned!?

More than a decade after the start of mining, the iron mine in Shrek was still producing sufficient quantities of iron. It is expected that another fifteen years or so could be expected to produce the same amount as now. That suddenly makes it unusable, there will also be madness in future national policies.

"Explain the situation."

The young King Theodoram, who had managed to calm his heart, demanded an explanation from his belly, which had reported.

"Yes. After noon today, they suddenly burst into the pit with tons of ghosts. Once the miners and soldiers felt threatened retreated from the pit and observed it at a distance, a dragon appeared from inside the pit, so it appeared to have retreated quickly."

Not incorrect as an explanation of what happened in the field. However, "retreat" was not carried out in an orderly manner, but only a few things (teaspoons) such as what was done in the mayhem, and the fact that a small number of criminal slaves escaped at that time.

"... how many dragons emerged? Are you still on the ground?

"From what we know so far, only one dragon has emerged. Subsequent research into the scouts has not confirmed its appearance at this time"

"Doesn't that... mean you don't know where the dragon went!

The fierce King Theodoram.

That would be so.

It is certain that a disaster-class demon appeared sneaky within his own country, but his current location is unknown, he said. If this makes you feel bad, that's weirder. It is almost a level of suspicion of sanity.

The young king desperately calms his heart and gives instructions as to whether he has restored his spiritual balance due to his exasperation.

"Block the way to Shrek and ban the movement of residents! Let the inhabitants do as they please, and I will escape and there will be mayhem! Next, extract your troops from the nearest unit and send them to Shrek. Prepare for a dragon invasion. Keep the scouts under surveillance."

"Soldiers heading to Shrek, do you want to move the garrison in the capital?

"Oh... you only went down the street from here to Shrek... Needless to say, extract a squadron from the capital's 'dragon' regiment, put on a bomber and send it out. Form another equivalent unit, and keep this one on standby. And... the siege weapon reported by DHQ, let's get it ready."

Shrek was originally a ghost town retreated by residents, so no major path had been taken. Currently living are workers - the majority of whom are fallen into slavery - and their families, forcibly expropriated by the Kingdom. Even after the Iron Mine was developed, no other path had been developed than to the capital from the point of view of securing information, preventing the escape of slaves and preventing the invasion of enemies. As a result, there was no alternative to dispatching from the capital when it came to the steps of delivering relief to Shrek.

"Then... let's fly a flying dragon around Shrek and hit the search for a dragon. It hurts to be used in this time of year... but you have to."
