Lord Of Puppets Chapter 63 – Beastman general – Part 4

"You want the dungeon to continue be in the break state!?" – asked confused wolf beastman captain.

"But sir! If we do it, then- "

"The dungeon will continue growing and becoming a much bigger threat." – said the bear beastman.

"We even had so people getting killed by those things!"

"I get that this dungeon is straight up treasure that we should ta, but why let it be instead??"

"Tch, tch, tch. My friend you don’t understand." – said bear beastman.

"Or maybe you don’t understand the full picture?"

"When it cos down to the dungeons, you mostly see them as two things."

"A danger."

"Or profit."

"And this dungeon?"

"It is pure profit?"

"This entire dungeon and I an the ENITRE THING IS A PROFIT!"

"Just look here! Here are the drops from that dungeon!" – said the beastman as he open up a bag filled with dungeon drops.

"Every single one of these things! They are valuable!"

"Hell, this maybe just so wood mixed it, but wood can be straight up used for anything!"

"And think about!"

"And I an think about really, REALLY HARD!"

"What if, the dungeon start making golems that are made out fully of iron? Or maybe upgrade to steel?"

"Not only that, but those golems have mana crystals! And the stronger they are, the stronger their mana crystals would need to be."

"Do you get it?"

"This is a pure treasure."

"A treasure that we can abuse."

"No!"

"We can turn this place into national dungeon!"

"This entire dungeon could possible beco one of the main sources of inco for our kingdom!"

"Dungeon that can produce tals, weapons, mana crystals and possible all sort of other stuff?!"

"From what I’ve understand from the docunts you had showed , this dungeon only useful thing was the mana crystals, but now look how each and every drop item from that dungeon is worth sothing!"

"Hell! What do you think would happened if we were to replace a common mass produced molded swords with these mass produced forged blades from dungeon?"

"We can do little modification to turn them into swords and boom!"

"Mass produced forget swords."

"The sa goes for other weapons, like the crossbow and spears, small modifications and they are ready to go."

"So.... Once again, I’m asking this question."

"What would happened if this dungeon would grow?"

"What kind of rewards will we get?"

"..."

"Look. I can tell that you are worried, but this needs to be done." – said the bear beastman as he saw worried expression on the wolf beastman face.

"Even though this dungeon may have claid lives of so of your n, it doesn’t an we can just destroy that dungeon."

"So, here are the new orders."

"The dungeon will be officially closed off to the public."

"The only that is allowed is hunting down any manifested golems that has escaped the dungeon."

"As for who is allowed to hunt them.... Hm.... I will think about it, but for now, you are to fallow my orders."

"Got it?"

"..."

"Yes.... Yes, sir." – replied wolf beastman.

[3 days later.]

"..."

(Em..... Where the hell are they?) – thought confused Thauma.

(3 days has passed.... 3 whole days has passed and yet they never ca back?!)

(I do see so soldiers waiting around the dungeon sotis, but they are don’t even trying to enter the dungeon?)

(What is going on?)

(Are they scared?)

"..."

(No. This isn’t it.)

(They managed to beat my army of golems back then without suffering any casualties.)

(They "know" that they can beat my dungeon, so why are they not doing anything!?)

(They are not even trying to "ta" by destroying all monster within the dungeon.... Just what are they planning?)

[1 day later – Nothing]

[2 days later – Nothing.]

"..."

(Yeb.... I still don’t get it. It is a 5th day already... But nothing is going on?) – thought Thauma as it observed the soldiers outside gathering the remains of the golems onto the carts and then just walking away with them.

(I’ve looked through the "Unknown Danger And Fortune – Dungeon" and "Basic Adventure Guild Guide", but neither of these books had any answers regarding their actions.)

(From what I can understand, they are intentionally letting live? But at the sa ti, they are not taming ?)

(They are hunting all monsters that leave the dungeon and probably are hunting any that are left in the forest.)

(After they destroy the golem, they are gathering all of its remains and take them away from here.)

(But if they don’t go inside the dungeon, the monsters will end up manifesting, providing with miasma.)

(True, I will need to spent so of that miasma to create more monsters.... But I can also use that miasma to make my dungeon grow!)

(And according to these books, the adventurers KNOW that dungeon can grow if left alone!)

(I’m so confused..... What is aning behind their actions? What is their goal?)

(....)

(Honestly..... No.)

(I can’t really fully focus on this matter.)

(I don’t know why are they not bothering directly, but I need to focus on powering up the dungeon.)

(But the question is "how"?)

(My current best 5 golem designs are strong AND they were able to kill the soldiers from before.)

(But these new soldiers are nothing alike.)

(Not only that, but that bear beastman is most dangerous..... I don’t know.... But maybe he is either C or B rank. Sothing far above .)

(He completely demolished each and every golem that was sent his way.)

(Even the standard model golem wasn’t able to put up a fight against him.)

(Then how should I deal with him?)

"..."

(Numbers.)

(I need to overwhelm him with numbers.)

(But would that really work?)

(No. Maybe I should make special golems that are specifically made to deal with him?)

(Then again, what would that be?)

(I saw him use earth magic, but was he using weapon arts?)

(There also those special soldiers.)

"..."

"..."

Golem dungeon.

The dungeon that was thought to be exterminated, has turned out to be still active.

And not only that, but upon its rediscovery, the soldiers of the Garmfon kingdom, including general Oranox Bearmight had discovered that the each and every item from the dungeon possess extrely high value.

This in turn caused general Oranox Bearmight to claim the entire forest as his own, completely cutting it off from the outside world, before then reporting the whole situation to the king of Garmfon kingdom.

"So, you are saying that this dungeon can produce weapons, iron and mana crystal all together?" – asked deer beastman.

[King of Garmfon kingdom – Alex Garmvoar]

"Yes your majesty." – replied Oranox Bearmight.

"I don’t know when was the last ti I saw that kind of dungeon which could provide that kind of riches."

"And you are saying that this dungeon could also beco one of our kingdom main sources of inco?" – asked the beastman king.

"But from what I understand, it is low-mid rank dungeon, right?"

"Even if the drops from that dungeon are useful, they are not good enough to be even considered as one of our kingdom main sources of inco."

"Yes, the current version of that dungeon won’t do." – replied the general.

"But what if we were to let that dungeon go berserk?"

"We will allow the dungeon break to continue, causing dungeon to growth nonstop."

"Once the dungeon reaches certain stage, the possible drops from that place could influence the whole kingdom."

"And then we just ta it."

"..."

"You want to make that dungeon into national type dungeon?" – asked the king.

"Exactly." – replied general.

"..."

(Weapons, tals and mana crystals..... And if the dungeon were to evolve enough to make every single one of this things better....) – thought the king who was considering the general offer.

(Honestly, there are few problems with this plan.... But if the dungeon really evolves into the state where it can mass produce rare materials or maybe provide high tier equipnt.... Hm...)

"..."

"Fine." – said the king.

"If what you say is true, this could turn indeed into sothing that need our imdiate attention."

"The golem dungeon will be officially declared as the state dungeon."

"I hope your vision will co true, general."

"Heh. Don’t worry about it." – replied bear beastman with a smile.

"This ain’t vision."

"It is future."
