The Empire that Start to Move

The door opened with a loud noise

Three people entered the roo,

「Yo, welcoreeted the three

But,

「Yuuki-san, it was impossible The bottom zone was extremely hard」

「Yeah, it ell until the 50th floor

But, after the 55th floor, Death Knights were roaether in a platoon

I think this would be hard for ordinary knight ranks

Well, the probleerous」

They began to speak vigorously

Maybe it was because they were excited, they didn’t mind how theylooked anymore

If you saw the three’s clothes, the ripped chainat it there was no doubt that it was due to a fierce battle

The story of the three continued

「The boss of that floor was a Coht――Death Lord―― but,

three of them appeared at the same time, you know!

Moreover, they were accohts each, you see?」

「That was horriblemaybe, ere relaxed until the 50th floor」

「The boss th couarding it, there seeuys give up at the 59th floor?」

「No, we sohts and their couardian of the 60th floor see, you know」

「Because ere almost defeated by the numbers on the 59th floor, ere already prepared for a battle of attrition on the 60th floor though」

「The result was our defeat by a single huth, to the point of being the superior version of a Death Knight」

「――That was, impossible Even if we try it many times, ill lose」

When the three talked to such an extent, Yuuki sat on a chair, and settled down a bit

He drunk the served tea, and took a breath

Yuuki, thought that,to soree,his expectation was correct,

「Then, there see over there?」

He questioned the exhausted trio

Apparently, the three see defeated at the 60th floor

They regrouped with Damrada, aited at the outskirts of the town, and iic

This was because they feared a pursuit

They heard that the highest record for the labyrinth was the 39th floor and there see boss of the 40th floor before they had challenged it

Meanwhile, they thought that they certainly stood out by advancing and establishing new recordsright off the bat

They said that they realized their mission had failed, and they withdrehen they confir the place without re-challenging the labyrinth

After so they,

「There’s no doubt There should be some kind of facility beyond that place」

「The size of the labyrinth was quite soic though, but it didn’t seem to be an artificial structure

In the first place, that place didn’t seeinally, either

In that case, it was a mystery how they secured a place that wide」

「――Only in that floor, the defense was abnor soht that defeated us, there was a skeleton on later on

I think that the forces there were very different than on the other floors」

「Right

You could laugh but…

Probably, if all the ainst the uys froreeht

They say that it had such an overwhel presence

Yuuki had no doubt that the floors until the 50th floor were originally the labyrinth sections for tourist attraction purposes, while the 51st to the 60th floors and further, were a restricted secure area

After that, they ate a light meal, and he received the report in calm, eased state

It didn’t seem that they were able to enter Teather information from the openhearted adventurers in the labyrinth town

They summarized such infor they had obtained,their spoils of war

They got a high quality “Magic Crystal” froet some quality equipment from the treasure chest, which could be located in a room inside the labyrinth, or from the floor boss, and so on

Each one of them were rare class, while the bardiche that Mark had was unique class

They could sense,that to gather so many people, they needed to set up an unthinkable a information

That is,

Therewas a city on a certain floor inside the dungeon (Underground Labyrinth)

Or so they say

「As expected, it doesn’t seem to be a mistake」

「Yeah I think it h, is that we cannot passed the 60th floor」

At least, because he judged it to be absolutely iroup, Shinji reported it obediently

It was on a level that saving face was of no use, since the boss was just too strong

「Well by the way, to what extent did you feel that boss’s strength?

Can you co to the Imperial Guard Arht at Yuuki’s question

Though it was called the Imperial Guard Arroup, eren’t interested in the Rank Deciding Battle

They were indebted to Yuuki in various ways after they had come to this world, and had helped under his instructions in various ways…

Since they were not interested in being in the top 100, they didn’t participate in the Rank Deciding Battle seriously either

Furthermore,since the Corps Commander had been replaced by Yuuki, they had purposefully transferred froinal Armored Corps to the Mixed Army Corps that Yuuki led as Corps Commander

In this corps, there was no need to participate in the useless Rank Deciding Battle

There wasa nuht like “Otherworlders”

They weren’t given a large responsibility, and they didn’t show off their power, they were people that lived suitably

Because the abilities of such people were not clear, it was a est group though…

But, on paper, there was no roup in the Empire

「Well…At least, around the top 50th rank?

I think those guys’ subordinate aren’t worth considering」

「In the end, it was just that one knight, right?

That knight, eren’t able to touch hiht People in the top 30th rank, ht?」

「Which reation troop dispatched before the construction?

That tin’s doctor」

「Ah, the “Lake Shore Dyed in Scarlet” incident[1]? Is it true, Shinji was a survivor of that incident?」

「―― I was lucky to survive」

The “Lake Shore Dyed in Scarlet” incident was one of abominable incidents that had occurred in the Empire territory

A vassal state, adjacent to the beautiful lake, revolted against the e of that vassal state took a certain measure, since his state was inferior in war forces to E,which could be considered Taboo

The king gave an order to suest deician answered the order

Even if they opposed the empire, that small country population didn’t even reach 10,000 people, so there’s should be no chances of victory for the suddenly declared his country’s independence

A noble frohter

In the Empire, which had becorasp the rave, as entrusted to rule the area, borrowed the emperor’s authority, and performed atrocities Such a spectacle was a common occurrence in the E;then destroyed that sdoan to break the instant he saw the demon, presented the princess in response to the demon’s demand

The demon sprouted a wicked smile, and possessed the princess’ body

It acco went into a rage However, that anger was ian

In the end, a report that the small countrywas destroyed reached the Eation was decided

As if their initial response was late by a step, that place would become the location where the second Guy Crimson was born

The beautiful lake was dyed with the blood of that se into a red color

Even in the several hundred years of the Empire’s history, this detestable incident could be called the worst that had ever happened

「Well, about the ht at that tih,

I felt the 60th floor boss was about the sa as anArc Demon! It’s on a level that we can’t defeat, you know?」

「――Is it really, the sahout the entirety of the Empire’s territory, solved the “Lake Shore Dyed in Scarlet” incident

Or so it was the official story

However, Shinji as there, saw that a few knights defeated the Arc Deht, froht that they were probably people who belonged to the Imperial Guard Army now

Therefore, because of it,he had lost his interest in the Rank Deciding Battle

He really felt that they lived in a different world

「Ah, they reat if a h it would probably have no significance

That knight seeh level swords air that was comparable to an Arc Demon」

Shinji’s words didn’t contain doubt, and were full of his true feelings

「Then, it can’t be helped that we lost

In addition to those powerful two, there was a dragon right?

It’s a bit too cruel The balance is too difficult, that labyrinth」

「Until the 50th floor the balance was good though…

As expected, if you consider what lies on the other side, therethe three’s report, Yuuki pondered

It wasn’t an accurate conclusion,since he didn’t see it with his own eyes, but as there seeuarded by an undead transfors with an Arc Deeted research facilities if they didn’tpass that place

(Oh well, it can’t be dealt ith ordinary h the labyrinth hiroup

He didn’t participate in the labyrinth simply because they were cautious about his oal of the labyrinth’s capture sonore it, but Yuuki had a hunch that so to occur later

Yuuki pondered for a while,
