It was a cave that was visible beyond some of the ups and downs.
Let's say a cave on the slope of a mountain.
The entrance isn't that big, but it probably goes deeper.
Apparently, the monsters they were after were swarming there.
Speaking of which, I've heard that most of the people who reached the west over the Snowy Mountains were lucky enough to find these holes.
If the hole was the right size, no large monsters could enter it.
Moreover, it doesn't get wet from rain or snow, and it can withstand the cold because it can prevent the wind.
The monsters that lived here must be roaming around here for their own safety.
Still, the sun's rays are overhead, and there is still time until the sun goes down.
From now on, I wonder if I'm going into the hole.
No, let's not.
It would be a battle against monsters, and if they were to survive, we would need to keep them alive.
It would be dangerous to reuse a cave with unknown internal conditions, and we could build a makeshift position here.
Thinking so, I left the scene.
We found a little bit of a protrusion at the top, far away from the cave, so we used Wall Building .
Although not perfect, it has been successfully transformed into a place where you can rest your body by surrounding it with walls and using the natural ceiling at the top.
At a time like this, Brother Arth will be able to build a base even better.
While looking at the temporary base where the gaping wind comes in, I muttered such a thing.
It was something I had thought about many times before I started climbing Mt. Daisetsu and arrived at El Meralda.
This nature is tougher than I thought.
I thought it would be easy to get over the mountains with ice absorbing stones, but that was not the case at all.
If you cross the mountain, you will move every day.
And when it comes to human beings, we always need to rest our bodies.
That means we need to go to bed.
To do so, it is necessary to secure a bed.
Even in the ordinary march, it had to be calculated from the beginning.
As the army grows in size, we need a place to sleep and prepare meals.
In a snowy mountain like this, only the body of a monster can be eaten properly.
It would be better to have other rice, wheat, or vegetables, and you have to use fire to cook them.
In other words, there must be firewood that is not wet.
Even if I had a magic bag, it would be difficult to take the army with me.
At best, this small number of cavalry is the limit, but is it too early to cross the Snowy Mountains?
In that regard, Brother Arth can build a sturdy house with magic power, make a large number of magic bags, and travel to and from other places with transfer stones and transfer magic circles.
Moreover, when I crossed the Great Snow Mountain, I used Ice Summoning to apply Ice Summoning to each soldier, and the soldier was able to act independently from Brother Ars.
The more you think about it, the more you can see that only Brother Ars was able to cross the mountain of heavy snow with the army.
I'm a little sorry.
If you're going to cross Brother Arthur, you're going to want to be able to cross this mountain on your own.
However, there is no doubt that the same cannot be done.
I'll think of a way to get over Mt. Daisuke.
Dear Alphonse, we have set up our base.
"Yes, I understand. Now, it's time for the real thing." Let's go get the monsters. "
One of the soldiers called out to me when I thought about what I had experienced on Mt. Daisuke.
Looks like we've built everything.
Now I was ready to catch monsters and spend the night.
Therefore, I decided to leave what I had been thinking until then in one corner of my head and go to the cave again.
"... oh? What, you're coming out from the inside out, right?"
Once again, I rode over the snow and came to the cave.
Then, the situation on the spot changed.
So, a monster was crawling out of a hole on the slope of the mountain.
The body is not large.
Compared to ice bears and quadruple-handed ice monkeys, they are less than half as tall as children and only about half as tall as me.
However, the color of the body was white, just like the other monsters, as it conformed to the snowy world of El Meralda.
White dog.
That was the monster that Ai was looking for.
But it's not just a dog.
Unlike a dog who would normally walk on four legs, he stands with two legs.
There was a white furry dog walking on two legs.
A sub-species of dogs and people.
It was a monster found in the territory of Brother Bite on the west side of Mt. Daisuke.
A monster called Dogman, who originally had black to gray hair.
A white dog person who was only mixed in with such a grey dog person.
The first people who discovered it were Brother Arth and Brother Bite.
And after that, it seems that Bite-san let him explore the mountains bordering the territory to see if there are any white dogs.
But in the end, I couldn't find it.
I finally understood why.
Perhaps the white dog man was originally a different species that lived on the east side of Mt. Daisuke.
I don't know why, but there was just white mixed in the black swarm.
However, this was originally a white habitat.
Tallow series.
The white dog Tallow, secretly raised in Vulcania, is said to be a male.
Therefore, in order to increase the number of tallows only for males, it seems that they are breeding to increase the number using the technology corresponding to the prohibited items.
But here was the original herd of tallows.
A flock of male and female White Dogmen, monsters that make silver from iron, was right in front of us.
