Gradually, the soldiers and the generals of the empire’s army began entering the dungeon.
Each one had a rope in hand, connecting them at 3 meter intervals. There was a combat team stationed elsewhere, and they must be able to detach the rope swiftly.
Since they have already made various preparations beforehand for conquering the dungeon, their actions were quick and swift.
Through interrogating Shinji and co, Calgurio had a fair grasp of the dungeon’s structure, and prepared measures to combat getting lost in the dungeon.
While spirit mages confirmed the course ahead, a special team would disable any traps.
The combat team would work on subjugating monsters, and the analysis team would collect dismantled monsters and “monster cores”
Note: “demonic crystal stone” is the literal translation.
Money and Goods collected from the treasure boxes of various rooms would transferred to the back, and be prepared to be transported to the Command headquarters.
With the soldiers connected, they could act accordingly to the situation.
Calgurio’s plan initlally went well.
However, things started happening within.
Contacts with soldiers who entered first were cut off, causing minor disturbances.
There were also reports of rather than a labyrinth, it was a wide space internally.
Previously connected to staircases, an order to continue the search was issued under the assumption that it was a distorted structure.
The spirit mages reported that due to the spirits being in disarray the path would sometimes be uncertain.
Thanks to Shinji’s report, he knew that the dungeon would change its internal structure on a weekly basis.
This had caused Calgurio’s decisions to go awry
(How unlucky. We’ve just clashed with the maze’s remodeling period……)
Thinking about this, he gave his subordinates their orders.
Even so, to panic so much over a changing maze, Calgurio was very dissatisfied with the empire army’s disgraceful display.
Among the items continuously delivered from the dungeon, each and everyone of them were first rate equipment made with demon steel.
The “Monster cores” collected were also of high quality, with high energy-conversion rate.
Before all the reaped profits, the confusion was a minor problem no matter the scale.
After a whole day, the majority of the 350,000 troops had successfully entered the dungeon.
The ground troops were on standby at the dungeon’s entrance, communicating with the internal group via ropes and making preparations.
In addition, they’re work on pitching up a tent in order to place the transported riches and goods.
That’s when the actual abnormality began.
Losing contact with the soldiers within, the rope was suddenly cut.
This happened exactly when all 350,000 soldiers entered the dungeon.
They tried getting in contact, via telepathy and clairvoyance communication, but there was no reply.
Things were going well up until then, the transportation of goods from within was also interrupted then.
The means of confirming the internal conditions of the dungeon were all lost.
