[Current location: Maw City – Under repairs.]
"Fuck…. You are fucking with me, aren't you?" – said Duke Wondan as he just received the report from the soldiers that just returned from the golem forest.
"No." – replied soldier.
"Just as stated, the identity of the enemy has been confirmed to be non-other than golem monsters…."
"We had brought some of the golem remains for you to confirm it." – said the soldier as a cart that carries a golem remains approached the man.
"…"
"Loses?" – asked nobleman.
"The small squad that was sent inside the forest didn't came back…. Something must had happened inside of the forest." – replied soldier.
"They were warned of anything that resembles an ambush, but by the looks of things enemy either managed to avoid the detection or they were taken down before they could run."
"As for the soldiers that were outside the forest…. They managed to get away, thanks to the warning that you sir gave us before."
"…."
"And you are not mistaken, is that correct?" – asked nobleman as he grabbed his head.
"No sir. Unfortunately, all evidence points out to our current theorizes being correct." – replied soldier.
"…And the golems, how strong are they?" – asked nobleman as he just stared at the remains of the hound golem.
"D rank." – said Soldier.
"Very likely D+."
"There is also a good chance that there were some monsters with C rank."
"…"
"Soldier." – said nobleman.
"D rank monsters are a real monster that can truly cause some chaos…. And C rank monsters are something that can terrify the people."
"Are you absolutely sure that the dungeon is producing the C rank monsters?"
"Even a lowest ranking C rank monsters are still deadly as hell."
"So answer me honestly."
"Were there or were there not any C rank monsters!?"
"…"
"I don't know…. I'm only speculating." – replied the soldier.
"…"
"I... Fuck!" – said the nobleman who was about to say something, but instantly stopped himself.
"…"
"No."
"You may be right."
"If the dungeon has evolved and grown enough…. There is a chance that some of the monsters it had produced are not some random monsters."
"Get me your rider."
"I will write the report to the king and you will have your men deliver the news to him."
(Fuck! He won't like this!) – thought the worried nobleman.
[Sometime later.]
"THE FUCK IS THIS?!" – shouted the King Ash at the messenger once he received the report.
(Soldiers! Not some shitty newbie adventures, but basic soldiers were slaughtered and easily defeated?!)
//D+ monsters that were not only problematic, but deadly enough to kill soldiers.//
//Possibility of a C rank monsters existing as well.//
//The new monsters that had been spotted do not resembles one bit the previous golems.//
//Possibility of something controlling the golems directly, like a leader monster, or a possibility of the golems gaining some form of intelligence.//
//Soldiers that were presumed missing had not been confirmed alive – Current circumstances points to the original army that was assigned to me to had been completely annihilated, leaving no survivors behind.//
//Will focus on repairing the city first and dealing with bandits. As for the dungeon, I will hold off any activities related to it until a new order is given – Reason – Too dangerous and usure if I can even do it with these new forces.//
"…"
"Fuck!"
"JUST WHAT WE FUCKING NEEDED RIGHT NOW!"
(The dungeon that was supposed to become our kingdom national dungeon had suddenly went out of control?!)
(Not only that, but we had lost already good amount of people to it?!)
"…"
(Okay. Calm down and think.)
(The dungeon that we wanted to turn into our national level dungeon…. Had ended up evolving way too much, resulting in it becoming a solid threat to us…... But at the same time, isn't thing we wanted?)
(If this dungeon has truly evolved to this stage, then doesn't that mean we obtained it?!)
(The dungeon that can become a pillar that support our nation?!)
"…"
(BUT WHY NOW?!)
(TRUE! I DID WANTED TO IT HAPPENED SOON!)
(BUT NOW?! OF ALL THE TIMES THE DUNGEON DID IT NOW?!)
(Shit!)
(The kingdom is in a screwed-up state and I need to use all of the soldiers available to deal with problems all across whole kingdom!)
(And we are severely understaffed after the war…...)
(On top of it all, there are still remains of the Royal faction on the loose, including that bastard bear and the dethroned king.)
(According to the reports, the city that they were staying at was finally conquered alongside the entire territory, but they were not there! They fucking escaped!)
(AND THOSE IDIOTS CAN'T FUCKING FIND THEM!)
"…"
(Using large number of regular soldiers or a group of elite soldiers won't be possible…. We also need to keep illusion of our kingdom only dealing with the "aftermath" of the war and not the financial crisis.)
(I've already had to deal with some idiots who couldn't keep their mouth shut…. I've managed to stop the news from spreading, but if the entire kingdoms find out about it, or worse, our neighbors find out about it, then we maybe be really dealing with something that we won't be able to stop.)
"…"
"Contact the head of the adventurer guild that works with our kingdom." – said King Ash.
"Order him to come to the castle."
"Tell him that I'm calling him over for a meeting."
(Fuck! We have already quiet problem with budged, but there is no choice.)
(The only way to do is to hire adventurers and deal with the golem dungeon.)
(I really don't want any outside to even get near that place either…. But if I don't do this, then this dungeon could end up becoming a cause of major disaster.)
[Next day.]
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU CAN'T CONTACT HIGH RANKING ADVENTUERS!?" – shouted King Ash.
"Sir... It is just impossible." – replied a male cat beast-human who was sitting across the table.
[Head Of The Garmfon Kingdom Adventurer Guild Main Branch – Adventurer Guild Branch Master - Gregory Smith]
"As you know, adventures are free lancers and during the wars the adventures guilds don't involves themselves in the wars."
"We cannot force adventures to stay in one place... They can move whenever they like."
"And because of the recent war, many adventures ended up leaving the kingdom in order to not get dragged into the war."
"Some of them will return, but some may end up settling down in different kingdoms."
"But there are some left, right!? Then use them!" – said the king.
"…"
"Sir…. It won't work."
"In the first place, Garmfon kingdom doesn't have too many dangerous area that had a bunch of powerful monsters living inside of them."
"The same goes to the kingdom of Marok which was recently conquered by the Garmfon kingdom."
"That in turn meant that we didn't had a lot of high ranking adventures, since there was no need to."
"We have a LOT of low ranking adventures, but if what you had told me is true, then sending this adventures won't do anything, if anything, they will end up archiving fall less than your soldiers."
"I'm…. I'm sorry your majesty."
"But unfortunately, I will have to decline your request."
"It is not like I don't want to, but because this kingdom adventures guild branch just lacks the necessary personal you are requesting."
"I could spread around request to try and gather any high ranking adventures that are left or those who are brave enough to take the dungeon, but that is it unfortunately."
"…"
"I see…. I see…" – said king camply.
"…. Would you…. Would you leave for a moment? I need to time to think."
"Guards. Would you mind escorting mister Gregory to the guest room?"
"Yes sir." – said one knight before then leaving the room with the branch master.
"…"
"FUCK! BITCH! WHORE! THE FUCK IS THIS?!" – as soon as few moments passed after the man left, the king went on complete rampage.
(THEY RAN AWAY!? THEY CAN JUST DO THAT?!)
(No, no, no, no, no, NO!)
(This can't be real! How?! Just how?!)
(There are no freaking forces left?!)
(FUCK!)
(What do I do?!)
(I need that dungeon.)
(I NEED THJAT NATIONAL DUNGEON TO BE IN MY CONTROL!)
(Should I relocate some forces?!)
(But if I do this, some areas will be – Wait! How many soldiers I need in first place?!)
(Dealing with manifested dungeon monsters, then exterminating monsters inside of the dungeon and then keeping a watch as well as regular extermination.)
(This would use up a lot of man power!)
(A man power we fucking lack right now!)
*Knock* *Knock*
"…"
"I'm busy." – said pissed off king.
"Em…. Sir, I'm sorry if I'm interrupting something…. But this is important." – said the soldier behind the door.
"The envoy of the Mowiorano kingdom had finally arrived and wishes to know when the meeting could be held."
"…"
(OH FUCK!) – thought King Ash as he instantly broke out a cold sweat.
(I've completely forgotten about them coming here!)
(...And they came in the worst possible timing as well?!)
(Oh god…. This may not end up well.)
