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

"Why did Theodoram increase his strength at this time of winter?

The answer to this question, which seems seemingly difficult, is that it has not been "reinforced or otherwise". What Theodoram did was actually enhance the guards, not the soldiers. However, the idea of a guard does not emerge unless we realise the fact that "something important has been discovered within the dungeon". No, even if it comes out, a squadron-sized guard is out of common sense.

The truth about this is that the Theodoram summit, which had a feeling that something else was going to come up, sent in large numbers just because "big is small". Because of this, it was difficult to finally get to the right answer.

In short, the ground on which Marcus grossly misunderstood Theodoram's intentions was well in order.

"… there are about two possible reasons why the snow build-up took place at this time of year."

"Let's hear it."

In the curtain building of Marcus' border surveillance unit, deputy general Fiddle and his deputy, the force commander, were discussing Theodoram's intentions.

"The first is if the operation is completed before it becomes a full-fledged winter. I don't know if we're going to start the operation right away, or if the operation itself will be over in a very short time."

"Keep going."

"First of all, I think it's unlikely that we'll start the operation immediately. The reason for this is that the reinforced soldiers don't see any sign of it, and that the formation of troops is not suitable for rapid deployment."

"Hmm... you sure don't have any cavalry with you. Horses are essential for the rapid deployment of our forces."

"We have to rely on speculation about the possibility that the operation will end in a short amount of time because of the uncertainty about what their operation is about, but if we can combine the reinforcements of one squadron and put two squadrons in at once..."

"Impossible, huh?"

"Yes."

The deputy general will shut up and consider his deputy's analysis. It certainly can't be. but I also feel unlikely. The fact that a squadron reinforcement has arrived requires at least one squadron for the operation - this is where it is already wrong. One Squadron is expected to increase the number of necessary personnel in the future - it should be. If an operation of that magnitude is going to require a force of that magnitude, it's going to leak about that sign...

"Don't feel unlikely. Is that all?"

"No. Second, if the operation has nothing to do with the season"

"Wait, what do you mean?

"Season doesn't matter if you're operating indoors"

"Indoors?... I mean"

"Yep. In the case of operations in the dungeon."

"Is that one squadron in that dungeon?

A dungeon would certainly accommodate about a squadron, but there should be a basically narrow gathering of pits there. Isn't it hard to deploy all one squadron to work together?

"Maybe you're assuming replacement personnel"

"So it's gonna be a pretty long term operation, huh?

"So there was reinforcement when I said this was the time?

"... to the point of becoming"

The deputy secretary's analysis seemed to fit.

"Do you think Theodoram is plotting something in the dungeon?

"No. Until now, assuming the season is the keyword."

"What?... what do you mean?

"Considering that we did not mobilize in this' season ', but' because the water problem has been solved ', we see another possibility"

"What...?
