"Deliver this letter to the king as soon as possible…." – said the genera as he handed over document to rider.

"Now go!" – said the general before the messenger quickly left on their horses.

"…"

"So…. What do we do now?" – asked the beastman knight A as he approached the general.

"That…. Hm... Honestly, I don't want to go anywhere near that forest." – replied general with worried expression.

"If it wasn't for the problem of us having to deal with heavy casualties, I would already go and exterminate these bastard…. But now things are getting far worse."

(The golems which only stayed inside of their forest or attacked anything near it had now expanded their range at alarming scale.)

(Not only that, now we are no longe dealing with some mindless creatures, but instead soldiers that are being controlled by a leader.)

(Fuck me…. We were not prepared to deal with that kind of bullshit.)

"…"

(I really and I mean REALLY want to take a easy and safe route.)

(I want to discover any weaknesses that these golems have and exploit it.)

(I want more data, more information.)

(I want to know what we are dealing with.)

"…"

"But the longer we leave the dungeon alone, the more monsters it will give birth to." – said the tired general as he watched as the sun was setting.

(Single day.)

(In a single day so much chaos happened.)

(And we had not even taken a single step forward…. Fuck me.)

(This territory is truly cursed.)

"Hey. I'm heading back to the city…. I need to talk about the situation with duke…. In person that is."

[Few hours later.]

"To what do I own the pleasure?" – asked the duke as he had a dark bags underneath his eyes.

"…You…. Are you okay?" – asked general as he instantly went to have a meeting upon arriving at the city.

"No…. No, I'm not." – replied duke.

"This entire territory is way bigger mess than we had thought."

"I mean, now that you are dealing with dungeon, I've thought things would be easy and stuff…. But fuck me."

"Repairs, bandits, monsters…. And all sort of bullshits."

"I've even had some random encounter with some people from black market that apparently were using this shitty territory to conduct some illegally business."

"I guess because of how messy this place is, some random scums are using this as their opportunity to make some quick deals….."

"…"

"Why do I feel you have more bad news?" – said the duke with sad look as he noticed the expression of the general.

"Well... Em…." – the general ended up telling the duke all about the current situation, ranging from the golem army, to the kingdom army just being unable to act.

"…"

"You are fucking with me?" – asked the duke in disbelieve.

"YOU ARE FUCKING KIDDING WITH ME RIGHT NOW?! ARE YOU?!"

"…"

"Sorry…. But I'm not." – replied general with tired expression.

"THIs entire forest…. Is way too big of a mess for me to handle safely with the forces I currently have."

"…"

"You have over 500 soldiers…. And you are telling me it is not enough!?" – asked the duke in fear.

"Well, you are forgetting the obvious fact that everybody is still tired both physically and mentally from the war." – replied general.

"And without even getting a moment of rest, king is once again sending all available soldiers to deal with the chaos all across the entire kingdom."

"And while they were at it, some of them suddenly told to stop doing their job and instead come here."

"As of right now? I don't know if we can tame the dungeon."

"We can eliminate the monsters…. But again, the casualties will be beyond acceptable."

"And then there is dungeon…. What will happened once we enter it?"

"…"

"I will be honest."

"Right now, this army won't survive."

"They need to rest and be completely at full power."

"Not only that, we need more elites."

"Be it knights or high ranking adventures."

"We need fire power."

"…"

"I'm going to say this straight." – spoke up the duke.

"I can't give you back the soldier you had given me."

"This entire territory is beyond any ordinally mess."

"Ash told us to restore this place and also take back the dungeon in order to keep things 'quiet' and 'controllable' in order for our alliance to last."

"Taking the dungeon is one thing, but if we want to make it look like 'GOOD' we need to restore this territory to its former glory."

"I've already delayed this process a bit when I've had tried to go all out against the dungeon."

"And you know the rest of the story from this point on."

"Right now we can't delay restoration of this territory."

"…"

"And sacrificing one for another is out of question." – said the general.

"…"

"But didn't he told us to do it as soon as possible? The tasks that we were given?" – replied the duke.

"Look, I get that being careful is the best course of action, but that bastard Ash is correct about rushing it."

"We need to finish both of our task as soon as possible."

"Yeb…. For now, I will just declare a lock down of a huge portion of the territory around the golem forest." – said the general.

"As for me…. Well, the direct confrontation with the golem army will be beyond problematic."

"For now, I will need for the Ash to do something about this situation."

[Few days later – Dungeon]

"…"

(Nothing.) – thought Thauma.

(No damaged golems, no alarms going off nor enemies entering my sight of vision.)

(Did the enemy given up?)

"…"

(Negative.)

(The enemy will keep coming.)

(Conclusion.)

(The enemy ended up being: tired, injured or scared.)

(The enemy is trying to recover.)

(According to the prisoners, the one currently in charge of operating the kingdom army is the wolf male beastman by the name Gustav Chariot.)

(Is he the one leading the forces here?)

"…"

(Unknown.)

(But there is a chance that he could come here.)

(Notice.)

(There is only one enemy.)

(Garmfon kingdom.)

(The equipped that was obtained by the golems does not resembles the equipment from the Mowiorano kingdom, this is according to the prisoners whom I had check the equipment.)

"…"

(Hm…..Overall…. Things are going way better for me than I've thought?)

(True. Losing all the hound golems was a big loss, since I've lost my fastest golems.)

(But at the same time, I've learned a lot thanks to their sacrifice.)

(However, the problem is that I still lack way too much information about outside….)

(Honestly, I've wanted to focus more on my own strength for the time being…. But by the looks of things, trying to expand my scout golem range of activity will be thing I need for this situation.)

[Meanwhile: Capital City – Castle]

"…."

*Sigh*

"What the fuck?" – said the King Ash as he finished reading the report.

(Gustav can't beat the dungeon?!)

(What the hell is going on?!)

(This was a D! Or at very least D+ dungeon before!)

(Just how the hell is bastard Gustav unable to deal with a single dungeon?!)

"FUCKING HOW!?" – shouted King Ash as he threw a bottle of wine at the wall, smashing it.

*Huff* *Huff*

"…"

"Fuck." – said Ash as he started reading the report once again.

(What the hell do I do now?)

(Gustavs says here that we need more "firepower" to completely eradicate the golem army, without having to deal with heavy casualties.)

(But securing that kind of power in the current circumstances will take time!)

"…"

"Why the hell as soon as I've putted on this crown, everything is straight up going to hell?"

"…"

While King Gustav was agonizing about the new discovery regarding the dungeon, one of the castle servants had decided to leave the castle.

"Leaving early?" – asked the knight on the guard duty.

"Yes…. Honestly, I may end up being force soon take an extended leave. My back has been hurting me for quiet sometime because of the chaos that is happening in the entire castle." – said the elderly rabbit beastman.

"I also have to deal with my daughter who has been…. Well, I really don't want to badmouth her too much."

"Let just say I need to keep her bit of company or she gets worried about me."

"Oh yea…. I have to agree about this place being a mess…. Well, at least the streets are somewhat calmer now…. But keep your guard up." – said the knight.

"With how chaotic the kingdom had become; I wouldn't be surprised if some muggers were to appear in the dead of night."

"Don't worry." – replied the servant.

"I maybe old, but I know how to kick lights out of somebody in instant." – replied the elderly servant before then parting his ways with the knight and leaving the castle grounds all together.

The elderly beastman walked through the streets of the capital city as the soldier patrolled, dealing with random drunkards.

*Huff*

"I'm home." – said the elderly beastman as he entered his house.

"Welcome home dad!" – replied cheerful adult rabbit beastwoman.

"Hi honey." – replied the beastman.

"How are you?"

"Good…. Good…. Good…. Good." – replied the man's daughter, while potting with her thumber at something.

"…I see." – said the man.

"Then would you kindly prepare the dinner for us?"

"Don't worry about it, I've already gotten started." – replied the daughter as the elderly beastman walked through the house, before then entering baseman.

"…"

"I'm sorry for the delay." – said the elderly beastman,

"But I have some important news for you."

"Do you now?" – replied the tall figure who was hiding.

"Well then, spill it out."

"What do you have?"
