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

On the fifth day after witnessing the adventurer's dungeon invasion, Marcus' soldiers stationed near the border watched the equipped Theodoram soldiers enter and go inside the dungeon.

"The Theodoram guys, you've turned around and become aggressive in the dungeon offense."

"According to the military ambassador's valve, it's a search for the missing person. Five days after those adventurers dived into the dungeon, there was no sign of them ever coming out."

"Is it really a search?

The commander of the Marcus Army Border Surveillance Unit answers the deputy officer's question.

"It's not a lie to search. Then you'll explore the dungeons."

"Do you want to leave me alone?

"What do you want me to do? We don't know what territory is in the dungeon. According to the last investigation team, because of the spiral staircase, they couldn't grasp the direction at all. Considering the provisional border line, we didn't compliment you on entering the dungeon, but there's a big nickname for searching for missing persons."

"... what is the true meaning of Theodoram?

In response to the Lieutenant's straight-ball question, the Commander now answers slightly contemplatively.

"Perhaps... you're going to provoke us"

The head of the Kingdom of Marcus viewed the entry of the Theodoram army into the dungeon as a provocation against ourselves. On the other hand, however, it is also true that I was perplexed as to why I made another provocation in this way.

"Watching Theodoram enter the dungeon leads them to see the danger of breaking into our national territory. But..."

"Mm-hmm. I don't know what Theodoram meant by this kind of provocation"

"In the first place, do you really think it would be provocative?

If Marcus broke into the dungeon ahead of time, he might be able to squeeze it with intent to invade the territory. We don't know which direction the dungeon extends in, so there's no way we can break into the basement of Theodoram from the entrance on Marcus' side. But now that Theodoram has entered the dungeon ahead of time, it is Theodoram, not Marcus, who is rebuffed with the same reasoning. It was on this point that Marcus was trying to grasp Theodoram's intentions.

"Theodoram has the big nickname of searching for missing persons once and for all. With that in mind, aren't you going to quarrel if our country enters the dungeon?

"But what makes you think we'll break into the dungeon again?

"I'm not saying there's no chance that that dungeon is extending underground in our country's territory..."

A dungeon in this world is a structure built by dungeon cores to lure their prey into killing. Therefore, there is an appropriate size from the balance between predation efficiency and individual maintenance, and there are rarely any big ones that exceed a kilometre handed over - even though it is a dungeon of ancient stocks that has been around for decades, no, more than a hundred years, and will never be that big in a newborn dungeon. Above all, there are about five hundred meters of rows of rocky mountains that appear on the earth. In other words, even if you broke into Marcus' territory through the dungeon, the distance is less than a kilometre, even if it is multieyed. A horse is less than five minutes away. It is not more difficult than knowing the entrance to the dungeon, such as being alert to its extent.

However… Theodrum, who had not previously had a dungeon in the country, was unaware of that fact. There was a fundamental difference in perception between Marcus and Marcus, who knew that much and took it for granted.

"Whatever... a significant number of Theodoram soldiers have entered the dungeon, we will also need to deal with it in some way as a nation"
