The beginning dates back to last fall.

That day, Rep. Fiddle, the commander of Marcus' border surveillance unit, had twisted his neck (a strand) in front of a report brought to him by his men.

"Change to arming theodrum soldiers? That's a war pick, too?

A war pick is a counterweight infantry strike weapon shaped like a hammer with a crane mouth. By its very nature, it can really force a melee battle, and when it comes to power, it has to be heavy - in other words, it is difficult to move lightly - so it is not often used in dungeon attacks.

Such a habitual weapon is said to be equipped by a significant number of people.

"... what are they thinking?

Put your arms together. Yeah, you saw your boss roaring. The deputy said in advance that it was somewhat uncertain information...

"Was there muddy soil on the warpic?

"Yes, he said he wasn't absolutely sure because he just saw the wall in the distance."

If that story is true, Theodoram soldiers' warpics will have been wielded against dungeon dirt walls, not dungeon monsters. This was now an important suggestion.

"... if that story is true, it means they're digging something in the dungeon..."

A month later, it was confirmed that Theodoram had discovered the water source in the dungeon, and it was found out what they were looking for by changing the color of their eyes... That's what Marcus had decided at the time.

However, despite discovering the water source at the end of the line, the Theodoram soldiers march (...) into the dungeon in charge of Tsuruzu (or Tsuruzu) - which is a warpic, to be precise, but I feel that Tsuruzu is more correct given its use.

"Are you looking for further water sources?

"No... I don't see how expanding the water storage facility"

"Maybe they're building it inside the dungeon, right?

"It won't be possible to rest soldiers inside the dungeon. I can't stop thinking, can I? Where do we build water storage equipment without soldiers waiting?

When the surveillance units were facing each other and leaning their heads, it was a month later that Feilong (Wyburn), believed to be from Wang Du, arrived, wondering if the Theodrum faction had become strangely hasty. Although I read the word "bone" in lip reading at this time, the degree of confusion only deepens. Then came a squadron reinforcement.

In short, although it was found that Theodoram was searching for something in the dungeon, that he had found something unexpected, and that a squadron had been reinforced as a result, he had no idea what was going on.

And now...

"As always, are the Theodoram guys putting out their sperm in drilling holes?

"Ha, it's a discipline"

"What the hell are they looking at?

Though temporary activity had declined since the twilight of last year, the motion of Theodoram, which began to move (poorly) into excavation work again at the dawn of the year, was even creepy through the inexplicability.

"... water resources for a squadron of reinforcements...?

"Not that I can think of... but is it also how you are persecuting (hiccups) that much?

"No... I can't see that happening"

"Even if it's important to recommend centralization, do you care that we're in formation at the end of your eyes and nose? If you're in the opposite position, you don't like me?

Substitute Fiddle's words also require his deputy to snort.

"Even if you're looking for something, it still doesn't look like you've found that 'something'. Their motivation has not diminished, even so."

"... go on"

"Can't you imagine that excavation is an end in itself, not looking for 'something'?

"You're telling me you're even digging in tunnels for invasion? I'm not saying it's unlikely... is it too obvious?

"What about the possibility that you're provoking this one with that bare gesture?

"... is it too late now?

The two deputy generals and deputies will name as many possibilities as they can think of, but the truth is that on the Theodrum side, they did not come up with any particular need for cover-up or deception… although it was also a fact of how to mislead what with eyes and nose tips.

"Assuming it's not a tunnel... isn't it for military purposes?

"And there's a possibility of deception that made me think,"

A commander tired of a barren conversation decides to change his mind.

"Let's change one perspective. If Theodoram's people don't mind shaping, what do they want?

To the deputy general's question, the deputy has been thinking for a while...

"Given the national circumstances of that country... besides water... fuel, demon stones, metal..."

And that's all I said, the commander and deputy look at each other.

"... iron?

"It's possible. The mine in Shrek has been dungeoned, making mining impossible."

"I don't think fuel will be available in the dungeon, and I would use a crane mouth to get demon stones... iron ore or other metal after all"

Knowledge of coal and oil would not have been so short-circuited, but in this world - at least around here - the visibility of coal oil as a fuel was remarkably low.

"... we also need to order the soldiers to look."
