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

In the King's Office in the Kingdom of Illustration, the usual members were discussing it with a serious face.

"... So you say there are no more signs of Theodoram's invasion?

"Yes, I thought you were targeting around Vazari for placing obvious restraints on Saurand... Thanks for the move..."

"Assuming you set up around Vazari or Leelot, you could have seen it in a battalion that you had moved in advance."

"Plus, the off-street part is deliberately making the bumps worse, so the cavalry and tanks in his country must have struggled."

"Because that country is a basic force attack... it's not a difficult opponent if you don't even overlook the first move. You seem to be underestimating the speed of movement of our troops."

"Hmm. Set up private ranches and replacement horse accommodation between battalion garrisons to increase the speed of movement of the troubled army. It would be hard to notice with your eyes only on the military."

"That's a very, very viable measure if you have intelligence units that have been monitoring developments in your neighbors from day to day. It tells you how important it is to have a normal battle."

Crowe also had no expectations about the Illustrian intelligence organization, but he didn't know how much that power was. In addition, horseback riding and tank control, ranches disguised as private, and horse accommodation were completely unexpected, and as a result Crowe underestimated the strength of the Illustrative Army, just like Theodoram.

"It's just... as I said earlier, it's also true that Theodoram moves oddly. According to intelligence research, it seems true that Theodoram moved a separate task force towards the south of our country... but I don't know where that force went. Theodrum seems to be confused too... no definite information is coming in."

"Didn't I tell you I had a dungeon or a dragon?

"The dungeon thing seems certain. As for the dragon... there is talk that I saw it, but the location is unknown since then..."

"Didn't that dragon attack the invading troops?

"Even so, would a few battalion-sized troops disappear?

"... hey. Either way, the dragon is in danger."

"But... isn't there not necessarily a single dragon?

"Only one head of the dungeon has sightings of the dragon. It's like they haven't seen it anywhere else."

"Hmm... it's a weird story"

He twisted his neck together, but the prime minister leaked his words.

"Can't you think of a line called…?

"... why do you think so?

"I overheard that Yalta had built a church in Theodoram..."

"No matter how much you hate Yaltaism, will you do that?

"No... with that said, Theodoram was buying and fishing for subhuman slaves. Maybe there's something we don't know about."

"It's possible that a dragon of divinity is involved."

"If so, I'll get suspicious about the dungeon..."

"… would you like to gather information on Theodrum extensively"

I think you should do that.

In the Adventurer Guild in the town of Nil, officials fight their opinions around the Guildmaster. Mixed in it, a soldier dispatched from the royal castle is waving a hot valve.

"... the question is where the two battalions that were supposed to be here disappeared. Around Odrant, that's what I looked for to crush lice, but I couldn't find any trace of it."

"But... there's no sign of a monster coming out of Pitt's dungeon. At least, Nil hasn't even confirmed one monster or anything. Just..."

"Just? You got something?

"No... perhaps before and after the day in question, I heard a flashy thunder from the south. I'm sure because I'm listening to this too... no matter how much you think about it, the monster's voice sounded."

"But if there are no other anomalies, we have to take them away. You don't mean a storm, do you?

"It's not a storm. That's for sure. I'll tell you what, I can't even believe the monster went south in the dark of the night. I'm not that dark. First of all, I heard thunder. It's midday."

"I didn't know the monsters were ambushing..."

"You know, you came through Odrant, too, right? Was there a shade where the dragon could hide?

"Sure...... Then storm from the sky..."

"I'm guessing there was a flying dragon (Wyburn) to be vigilant about that. If a hundred Dragonfly (Wyburn) and two Regular Army battalions disappeared without any contact, it could be five or ten Dragons. You can bet your neck on this guy."

"So... doesn't something that wiped out the two battalions mean they're still in Theodoram?

Young officials pinch their mouths in the tone of fear.

"... don't be like that in conclusion"

"... I'm not kidding. Shrek's dungeon is all I have. Can we deal with any more of that..."

"Guidance, isn't that the dungeon causing this? You think the ghost is gushing out?"

"No, no matter how many, the intrusion is just a necromancer. You don't have enough power to slaughter two battalions."

As for the grudging spirits that gushed out of Shrek's dungeon, we know that it seems to be the land of the one who lost his life in his (or her) land, and the military explained that he has no power enough to extinguish two battalions from his individual power.

"If you say so..."

"What?"

"No... rumor has it, there was talk of what the 'sealed ruins' found in Illustria were 'sealing'..."

It was called a "sealed ruin" because the entrance was sealed, but at some point rumors were spreading that the ruin had "sealed" something. It's almost a joke or an urban legend Nori, but I don't know the finesse around it here in Theodoram. It was normally treated as information.

"Oh, don't even feel like you've heard that story. So?"

"No... from what I hear, it's a military facility, so in case of war... something like a ghost soldier was sealed... no way, right?

There is no voice in the statements of confident young officials. Together.

"... So this is a pre-emptive attack by Illustria?

"No, more than that, if so, how did Illustria grab this move?

"You mean the information is leaking!?

"Easy! Now it's just an unconfirmed hypothesis. Don't run first!

Though I regained some calm with a drink from the Alliance Master, I still can't bother. The man dispatched by the army was convinced that he was the wingman to bring back troublesome stories, lamenting our own bad luck.
