[Sometime later – Evening]
[Location: –King Ash private room.]
*Knock* *Knock*
"Your majesty? Are you alright?" – asked a servant on the other side of the door.
"We had brought you a dinner, like you requested."
"…"
"Come on it and just leave it." – said king as few moments later the servant alongside the maids entered the room and left on the table a plate of food and wine.
"…"
"Your majesty? Is everything alright?" – asked a worried servant as he gazed at the king who was looking at the outside through the window.
"Yes…. Just need some time alone…. Go." – said king as the servants quickly left the room and closed the door.
"…"
"F-!" – King Ash was about to strike the window with his fist, before then stopping himself in the very last moment.
".."
"Fuck."
(Things are just getting fucking perfect.)
(First the remains of the Royal faction managed to escape and now we don't know where they are, nor we know what they are planning.)
(Then dungeon that we planned on turning into our nation dungeon ended up suddenly becoming the dungeon with potential we wanted…. But now it is out of control.)
(And now that envoy bastard!)
(What the hell does he mean that king of the Mowiorano kingdom wants to hold a personal meeting?!)
(NOW?!)
(I mean, I know the reason.)
(It is regaining the land that we would give them as a payment for their assistance during the war.)
(This is important discussion…. But now!?)
(Fuck!)
(The meeting can be either held in our kingdom or their kingdom!)
(BUT I CAN'T DO IT!)
(If they come here, they may find out the truth about our situation.)
(And I cannot leave Garmfon kingdom now of all the times, since there is a tons of chaos going on, forcing me to be involved in multiple matters at the same time!)
(This is just fucking perfect right now.)
"…"
"Should I ask to delay the meeting?"
"Honestly, I do have rights. Since the war only ended recently."
"But I can't really delay it for far too long….."
(I need to deal with at least one matter, either dungeon or the Royal faction.)
(…)
(Honestly, we can't deal with the dungeon later.)
(The reason is simple.)
(Money.)
(We need to tame that dungeon as soon as possible and turn it into our source of money.)
(But the problem is the lack of personal.)
"…"
(Should we destroy it?)
(If that dungeon is truly as dangerous as the reports says, then we may…..)
"…"
"What the fuck am I saying?" – said King Ash as he opened up the wine bottle.
(We can't destroy that dungeon.)
(We need money.)
(Now AND especially in future.)
(If we want to expand and grow our army, we will need a LOT of money.)
"But where to get the manpower?"
(Adventurer guild is our only way out of this.)
(But it will take much longer to gather them up, since many either wanted to avoided to the war by either hiding or just leaving the kingdom altogether.)
(Honestly speaking, the waiting game would be the best course of action... But there is a massive problem.)
(The territory where the dungeon is located is straight up right next to the Mowiorano kingdom!)
(To add even more problems, according to the reports the entire area became lawless where criminals runs amok and wild monsters are on rampage.)
(The kingdom of Mowiorano will definitely want us to "Deal with our own problem".)
(…. I can't delay the meeting for long nor I can't delay dealing with one of our main problems…. If I don't at least fix one them, then we are fucked….)
"…"
"Okay. Screw it!"
(I know there will be some consequences if I do this that way, but from the look of fucking things, there is really no other choice.)
[Next day.]
"You want us to relocate our forces to the Mevon territory?!" – asked a wolf beastman.
[New General Of Garmfon Kingdom – Gustav Chariot]
"You heard me. Relocated our soldiers to that area in order to take control over that territory as well as deal with the golem dungeon." – said King Ash.
"…"
"Sir…. With all due respect." – said general.
"We don't have enough soldiers."
"Yea! I fucking know that, you smart ass."- said angry king.
"I know what this will do, about order and what not."
"But here is a funny thing."
"We don't have any other choice."
"…"
"There will be a rise of criminal activities as well as monsters…. But that is just how it needs to be."
"Sacrifices needs to be made for the greater good."
"And this isn't discussion; it is an order."
"One that you will fallow."
"Do we understand each other?"
"…"
"Yes…. Sri. I will do as you say." – replied general.
A drastic decision.
A foolish decision in a sense.
King Ash had decided to use the soldier that are currently trying to restore order and keep peace in tact to attack the dungeon.
This decision is…. "Foolish", so say the least.
King Ash understood what these soldiers were doing and why they were doing it, since he was the one in the first place the one who ordered them to keep control over the kingdom.
The moment these soldiers are removed from their current locations, a chaos will instantly erupt... But there was no other choice.
As King Ash said, "Sacrifices needs to be made".
Either lives and safety of his people OR the kingdom's financial situation.
And the choice has been made without hesitation.
Kingdom finances.
In order to deal one of the major problems that the kingdom was facing a new army was formed that had a simple order.
//Eliminate all the monsters produced by the golem dungeon.//
//Tame the golem dungeon.//
Well…. "Simple" isn't a correct way to describe the situation, since the kingdom already suffered some loses…. Meaning that there will be definitely more casualties during this operation.
But the king did not cared, nor the general who had been assigned to manage this task directly.
Few days later, the special extermination army has been formed and instantly sent out to deal with the golem incident.
"…"
"Sheesh…. This place is really a shit hole." – said the general as he rode on his horse while an army of soldiers fallowed right behind him.
(Some of the settlements that we went by were completely desolated, there were also some monsters on the lose…. And there are also either ex-soldiers or villagers that decided to became bandits in order to survive…. Sheesh.)
(And the city that we passed by is still a complete dump.)
(Like seriously. What the hell happened here?)
(Duke Wondan told me what had happened to this place…. But isn't this already beyond saving?)
(I mean, dungeon is the only thing we want, but Ash also wanted us to make this place look "pretty" for some political reason or what not.)
(I get dealing with monsters, but why I'm also supposed to make this territory "pretty"?! There are other bastards that can do it instead!)
(Maybe I could ask Wondan for favor and deal with "prettying up" this place?)
"…!"
"Sir! We are reaching the golem forest!" – said wolf beastman as the army finally approached their destination.
"Oh good." – said general as he suddenly ran bit ahead of the army.
"HOLD!" – shouted the general.
"Listen up you all!"
"You already been warned before, but just in case any of you nitwits decided to sleep on what I've said before, then here I fucking go with warning again."
"The location we are approaching is a forest that had been fully taken over by the dungeon, specifically a golem dungeon."
"Some groups of soldiers that went in ended up never coming out, which means one thing."
"They all died."
"With that being said, you probably can guess that some of you may end up dying if you act like total morons, right!?"
"If you understand it, then move out! And be prepared for combat at any moment!"
"Unlike before where golems were usually staying obediently in the forest, they are now attacking anything that is near the forest!"
"We may end up being attacked even now!"
"We are going to set up camps some distance away from the forest."
"Once it is made, we are going in!"
"GOT IT?!"
The forces of the Garmfon kingdom had finally arrived.
And this time, it won't be just a small-scale battle.
No.
It will be true "war" between them and the golem dungeon.
"…"
"Camp has been set."
"Nerby patrols are not reporting anything near us."
"The same goes for the patrols near the forest. There was nothing. The enemy maybe hiding or we had nor approached close enough for them to act."
"Equipped has been checked as well as our food supplies. No problem has been found."
"Is it all?" – asked general after hearing all the reports from the soldier.
"Yes sir." – replied a knight.
"We are all ready to go at moment notice."
"Then what are you all waiting for?!" – asked general.
"MOVE IT"
The kingdom preparations are over…. And now, their army marched towards the forest, ready to fulfil their mission.
"Remember you fuckers! Don't you dare die to these fucking toys, I will kill you myself!"
