The Armored Corps ・Corp captain Calgurio didn’t hide his dissatisfaction over the fact contacts were cut.

The goods and money are also needed, but above all large quantities of high quality “Monster Cores” will likely be needed from here on out.

Since it was at a degree where it was never enough, he looked with glee at the sight of them being carried out of the dungeon.

However, with 350,000 sent in, sending in any more soldiers would fare badly. Even when danger was expected, contact suddenly cut off was unexpected.

If threats existed ――i.e. Veldora―― was verified, the means for the frontline group to contact all personnel via linked contacting had been prepared.

But the results, are as shown.

The dungeon’s entrance is still wide open, yet there were no signs of anyone.

“What’s happening here?”

Calgurio muttered, but his advisors couldn’t answer.

Meanwhile,

“The Dungeon is a place to explore.

It’s not meant to be invaded by an army, don’t you think?”

Said a bewitching beauty to Calgurio.

Dressed in the Empire’s Armored Corp’s uniform, One of Cerberus’s bosses, Miranda.

Having received a secret order from Yuuki, she was to keep tabs on Calgurio’s actions while observing the situation of Tempest’s Invasion.

However, her position as the headquarter advisor of the Empire’s Armored Corps was the real deal.

With befitting abilities, she served as one of Calgurio’s advisor.

“Did the little brat Yuuki say that?”

“Yes.

That person said, if you wish to capture the dungeon, you should have sent in only the elites.”

“Ridiculous! I did sent in the elites!!”

Calgurio gave an ill-temper answer after hearing her words.

Correction, prided as the empire’s strongest corps, the Armored Remodeled corp’s 350,000 elites had been sent in. Looking for anymore than this would simply be overbearing expectations.

“And yet, after taking them all in, the dungeon still stands.

Since we couldn’t explore the situation inside, sending in reinforcements is a difficult matter.

All we can do now, is wait for the survivors to come out, is it?”

“Be at ease. The bracelets with the revival effect have been given to the strong individuals.

According to reports, when they die they would revive outside the dungeon no.

Since no one has appeared, that means the dungeon conquering has been successful thus far.”

“Exceptwe aren’t entirely certain the bracelet’s revival effects actually work though?

That person said, since the bracelets were created with a skill, they couldn’t be replicated”

This silenced Calgurio.

A corps captain isn’t chosen based on strength alone. Even if you can’t become one without strength, if one is incapable of grasping the current situation of things, they are not fit for the role.
