Dungeons for the Devil, Dungeons for the Core

“We were worried at first. But what if they were thinking the same thing as us?"

- Hmm?

Same thing as us? I mean... push them in with a large army...

"... I was planning to root it out... is that right!?"

“If we were to be sure that we were going to deploy the annihilation battle, we would have preferred a decisive battle in a large space suitable for the operation of the great armies to a battle in a narrow cave.”

"Ummu..."

- No.

What Crowe wanted was for the "automatic counterattack system" to work. The system itself is also installed in the passageway on a small scale, but Crowe, who wanted to test on a larger scale and with a large number of practical examples, only chose a large and convenient hall as a test site.

“And this is one of the reasons we decided that the enemy's forces were stronger than ours.”

"Ummu......"

... it is true that the "shaker" is quite capable of that size and ability. The basis is wrong the day after tomorrow, but it is strange that the conclusion is not wrong.

"Since they had such eyes, it was unacceptable for us... to say the least, for some of our squads to stop entering the cave." Therefore, we tried to contain our damage using a less lethal trap. Besides that, I can't explain their inexplicable behavior. ”

"Umuumu..."

― ― What Crowe noticed was that in order to properly perform the operation experiment, he did not make the subjects (guinea pigs) feel stressed. Of course, I don't want to leave the examination on my own, so I took care of it.

... that doesn't make this view any stronger.

"It is reasonable to think that after they have taken such operational actions, the appropriate chain of command has been established."

"Mmmmmmm..."

Similar Tonjin Han (Tonkatsu) questions were repeated here in the Kalanigan Adventurer's Guild.

"In other words... [Shaker] 's guys invited you to the back square, and there you were trying to crush your belly with a hammer... that's what they said, right?"

"Oh, that's all I can think of." They've got a lot of good snipers all over the place. "

A sniper?

"Yeah. Every time I shoot, they shoot me back in all directions." That's exactly how it is. If you were a little late to hide, the victim would be sorry. "

― ― The "automatic counterattack system" designed by Crowe first produced satisfactory results. Since it is a fully automatic counterattack, it cannot be controlled or reduced without aiming, and the crusaders are making commensurate casualties.

Since those bodies were recovered and brought back by the Crusaders, they did not generate revenue as a "dungeon", but since the policy was to conceal that the "labyrinth of the dungeon" was a dungeon, Crowe did not dare to take the body.

By the way, some of the casualties - or a significant portion of them - are not "automatic counterattack systems," but they were killed by accidental fire and stray bullets from other teams... and the commander of the crusade doesn't confess to that in an honest manner. There was no confirmation. There was no discussion.

"... well, I quickly stepped back, so the [Shaker] guys couldn't make it in time." It would have been nice to separate them and withdraw from separate paths. "

"... I see. Thank you very much." I'll give you a sympathy payment from the guild for the dead ones, so please keep your contact details locked up. "

"Oh, I understand."
