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

"What do you mean, the water problem is the key? Isn't it possible that the reinforcement of a single squadron should not solve the water problem itself?

"No, worst case scenario, water can be brought in from somewhere else (approximately). If this reinforcement was for any purpose, it would have been reinforced regardless of the water problem."

"Hmm... keep going"

"Yes, it has already been confirmed several times that theodrum soldiers are carrying water out of the dungeon"

"The soldiers were picking it up. It's hard work."

"… If this reinforcement was used as an opportunity to solve the water shortage, it might be more for a simple boost than something special. Perhaps the current situation rather is the force placement that Theodoram was originally planning"

"... I would have preferred to deploy more than two squadrons here, but I also had water problems and declined. They found water there, so they deployed the power they had planned?

"Is it not?

Admiral Fiddle takes into account the analysis of the deputy secretary who was there. Assuming this analysis is correct, Theodoram intended to deploy more than two squadrons here from an early age. But it was unexpected to them that the dungeon appeared here. … suppose that Theodoram planned to "deploy more than two squadrons near the border", i.e. create an invasion base…?

Neither can substitute generals hide tensions in conclusions that must be calmed down. But...

"A dungeon would certainly use it as an invasion base... if only it had been confirmed safe. It can be at least a short-term base. That's good. But if it's a dungeon, it's on our side too... No, right. That's why we're here."

"Yes. As for Theodoram, he was more afraid than anything that we would do with the same in mind. His country is going crazy now, not only in our country, but also in Molvania and Illustria, so he wanted to avoid being opened to the brink of war here. Therefore, with the intent of deterring, we rushed to make a deployment plan, and found it difficult to deploy ahead of schedule due to lack of water."

"Now that we've secured some water sources, we hurried to reinforce them, or..."

"If you think about it, you can also be convinced that it was the infantry squadron that was sent in this time."

"Not a force for invasion, but a force for defence or restraint? That said..."

"Yes, it's enough to attack us near the border."

"But even if you attack us now, if we dive into the dungeon and resist, it has to be a long fight. Before that, if you wake up here like Isakoza, don't let that dungeon master shut up."

"Yeah, so we're not going to open the battlefield here."

"But do we still have the possibility of sending in invading troops as a base here..."

"If you have seen their base reinforcement as it is, or"

The deputy general, who was thinking with a wrinkle between his eyebrows, eventually raised his face with a look like a lift.

"When we talk so much, there's nothing we can do at a front-line base. With your hypothesis, I'll report the matter to the person above."

"So..."

He said, "Oh, I need some more help here to deal with Theodoram's reinforcements."
