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

"Unlike us, Theodoram relies on the supply of water for transport from the rear. Because we sealed off the waterway."

"... I know that Theodoram wants water. But... how did the adventurer, or the adventurer's body, teach them the existence of water?

"Suppose you were drowning to death?

"Drowning..."

In the case of bodies suspected of water death, examination of tissues such as the lungs reveals whether the water entered or was dumped in the water before or after death, i.e., whether it was drowned or after death. There is no police organization like modern Japan in this world, but the military intelligence department was in charge of the technique of autopsy, which reached quite a standard.

Yo (more), Crowe didn't do the small work that Marcus suspected, and even for Theodoram, the presence of water was derived from the scale of the fish, but there is no way Marcus could have known that.

Substitute General Fiddle, who is entrusted with the command of the surveillance unit, was silent for a while to hear the deputy's opinion, but eventually came to a conclusion.

"Tsuji fits. But it just fits. It's all just speculation."

Once I cut the words off, I glance at the look on my deputy's face... but I don't see any expression on my face. As usual, he's not cute.

"Nevertheless, Theodoram's profits are likely to hurt (there) our country's national interests. It's also a fact that you can't look at it."

For the first time here, the deputy returned a reaction. When he moves slightly, he asks his superior officer with his gaze. So, what are you going to do?

"As far as the situation is concerned, Theodoram is moving on the basis of national level judgment. By contrast, we are only one unit at the end. You can't just make a scene decision."

The point is to ask up. However, he was not simply a mediocre window commander with General Fiddle. of the knockout. He was aware of the problems his deputy had overlooked, and was therefore perplexed by Theodoram's behavior.

"There are other strange things about it. It seems reasonable that they're looking for water, but what are they going to use the water they get there for?

"What?"

"No, I understand that we can eliminate water shortages in the field. But for all that, just to heal the thirst of a unit on the go, is that what the country moves?

The deputy general spins more words so that he can be pushed by an unexpected deputy.

"We can't even think about using it for irrigation, as we are doing now. But this is also unnatural again. No one wants to do farming or anything in the border zone in the middle of a conflict. Even for us, it means more harassment than provocation. It's still unnatural to move troops for that matter."

Considering that Theodoram moved his army just for water, he arrives at the same doubtful point as the deputy general stated sooner or later. Moving soldiers is a strategic-level story and difficult to explain with tactical-level motivation of improving the situation in the field. Except for the story if it's just water that moisturizes a single Theodoram country, but Marcus knows better than any other country that doesn't have that amount of water here.

In the end, it remains unclear what Theodoram is looking for.

"So... leave it like this?

He smiles back bitterly at his deputy, who obviously doesn't seem to be funny, and General Fiddle leaks the potpourri.

"Can you shake it..."

"Shake it, is it...?

"Ah. For example, sending a large number of soldiers from our country into the dungeon. Let me have a crane mouth."

"But... is that too obvious?

"Unless it's a provocation and if I can overlook it. If what Theodoram is looking for is a water vein, no, even if it's not a water vein, we can't overlook the possibility of being ahead of us. Even if you know it's a nine-ninth-centimeter provocation."

"... what if I ignore it?

"That gives me one clue. Theodoram is certain that there is no place for what he is looking for or Marcus."

Having said that, the deputy general was often reticent to meditate (snort) on his eyes, but eventually when he opened his eyes he groaned in a low voice.

"... I came up with another reason why Theodoram could move as a country"

"What?

"If you try to secure something that you don't want to give us, before we do."
