[1 week ago: Maw city]

"Hm….Is that so?" – asked the princess escort knight as he read a report.

"Yea. The golems didn't attacked us or dared to show up once we gotten right underneath their forest." – replied the knight that went to scout the golem forest.

"I think the golems may only act if there is 'BIG' group nearby."

"But if it is just one or two people, I think they will just ignore it?"

"Hm…. I don't know about this." – said unsure princess's knight as he looked through the documents.

"According to these reports that we had obtained from the broker, the golems apparently often acted bizarre."

"Like their attack patterns changed or they would suddenly attack somebody that was nowhere near the forest."

"There are also rumors about some golem with some sort of intelligent leading the golems from the shadows, but we haven't confirmed anything regarding that."

"For now, order the scouts to keep observing the forest, but from the safe distance."

"We don't want to by any chance provoke the golems and make them active again."

"Understood." – replied the elven knight before then leaving the room.

"…."

*Sigh*

(I guess I should be looking for that shitty brat soon.) – thought the elven knight as he looked out of the window.

(I MEAN! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! WHY?!)

(I know my job is to cover for her laziness to make her look "good" and stuff, but she is straight up just screwing around.)

(I can't cover it up when she is not even doing a bit of FUCKING job!)

(I mean, I get there is nothing to do in here and stuff, but my GOD! At least stay inside the building or something, so it would be at least somewhat possible to cover his ass.)

"…"

(Yeb. I'm quitting after this is over.)

"…"

(Still… Weirdly enough there was no incident whatsoever?)

(I mean, considering what we know, shouldn't these golems already be…. Well, doing "something"?)

(The information we had obtained wasn't really obtained "directly" from the Garmfon kingdom, since we really couldn't ask them after what our king did… But still, we tried to confirm the information creditability as much as possible.)

(The golem monsters are not real living creatures. They are object type creatures, a living construct.)

(The reason for why the Garmfon kingdom was trying to secure the dungeon in all of their desperation was because an income.)

(Every single part of the golem body was extremely valuable, including their cores which were made out of mana gems and mana crystals.)

(And the weapons that are part of their bodies are apparently high quality.)

(There is also a rumor going around that place being a national type dungeon…. Honestly, we couldn't confirm that bit of information yet, but if all these things written here are true, then maybe?) – thought the elven knight as he was holding a document, which held detailed information about the golem dungeon.

(Then there is also how the Garmfon kingdom reacted as well as their king during that meeting.)

{{Info: This elven knight was one of the two elven knights that was with the princess back then.}}

"…"

"But still, the hell is the deal with these golems?"

(I mean, from what I can see here, these golems only protect the forest? Are they not aiming to expand their…. No wait.)

(They are living constructs without mind that can only fallow orders.)

(Would they even benefit from their territory getting expanded?)

(There is also this report about the golem forest entering some sort of hibernation after it was left alone…. Maybe the forest entered this state once again?)

"…"

"But we were order to tame the dungeon for the benefit of the kingdom, so I guess we will be poking at that bee hive."

Unlike with the Garmfon kingdom, the elven kingdom of Mowiorano did not suffer much of post war chaos, allowing the kingdom to quickly recover after the battle.

This allowed the elven kingdom to operate far smoother compare to the Garmfon kingdom, which in turn allowed the elven forces to much easier restore the roads, speed up the repairs of the city and set up the basic preparation for the dungeon raid.

There were some minor inconveniences along the way, but overall the elves managed to finally restore everything to the state where it is both usable and safe.

Not only that, but the Garmfon kingdom already dealt with the good amount of rampaging monsters and bandits, leaving barely any work for the elves that just had to finish off where the Garmfon kingdom had left off.

And at long last, the peace has been finally brought into the chaotic territory of Mevon territory, but not by Garmfon kingdom's hands, but instead by the elven kingdom of Mowiorano.

With that, the elven kingdom had finally secured their frontline against the dungeon.

And moment they did, a new quest was made throughout the adventurer guilds.

Pretty much, it was the same quest that the Garmfon kingdom did, but with bigger difference.

This time the ones that will focus on dealing with the dungeon will be adventurers alone.

The elven kingdom maybe in good state and ready to deploy their troops, but if they were to deploy a large number of troops near their new kingdom boarders after their hostile take over of the territory, it could be seen as a hostile action.

The Garmfon kingdom had an excuse before, since the entire territory was not only a giant big mess, but now? There was no longer an excuse for a large army to be stationed in this territory.

That means that the elven kingdom could only deal with the dungeon, using adventurers.

However, by now the name "golem dungeon" has somewhat spread around.

The sudden annihilation of the allied forces led by the general of the Garmfon kingdom.

This incident had already spread between the adventurers, which made somewhat recruiting adventurers a bit…. Bit more problematic for the elven kingdom than they had thought.

[Location: Capital city]

"What do you mean barely anybody has showed up?!" – asked confused elven king.

"Well…. I've asked around and this is just assumption." – replied adventurer guild messenger.

"But it seems that the impact after the Garmfon kingdom's last attempt did made somewhat bigger impact than we had thought."

"The adventurer guild master by the name of Worano, who is working in our kingdom had confirmed that the adventurers were somewhat relacquer about doing this quest again."

"He said that if you want to recruit adventurers, you can't just use the same quest that the Garmfon kingdom proposed, with somewhat same rewards…. Well, bit weaker ones, since you are not offering a noble status."

"Anyway, he said that if you want adventurers to come, you need to offer better rewards compare to the Garmfon kingdom."

"…"

(And considering the fact that we cannot really use our own army…. We would need to prepare a huge amount of...) – thought annoyed elven king,

"Ah, screw it." – said the elven king.

"I will increase the reward."

"But make sure that only the ones really working get paid, while the scammers are dealt with."

"Understood?"

"Yes sir." – replied the elven messenger.

The first recruitment wave of adventurers was somewhat considered as failure.

Not only the adventurer guilds now knew the danger of the golem forest, but there was also problem with the quest.

Originally, you could obtain a status of nobility if you were to complete this quest, but the elven kingdom did not offer the same kind of rewards… Which did ended up making people no longer interested in the quest, since "it wasn't worth it".

However, after increasing the upper reward limit for the quest, the gazes of the adventurers has once again spotted the quest.

It did took the elven kingdom much longer than they had expected to recruit adventurers, but finally people started coming back to the Maw city once again in order to challenge again the golem dungeon.

However, they were not the only ones making their preparations for their war with the dungeon.

The dungeon master Thauma did not stopped working, experimenting and improving the dungeon for even a single day.

To make matters worse, the dungeon has finally reached the rank 40, meaning that the dungeon size ended up increasing once again as well as its minimal miasma production.

Not only that, but the dungeon has already restored a large number of the destroyed golems and even created brand new golem types.

This time, the golems wouldn't be exactly get one snidely beaten down like before and then having their asses saved with bomb trap…. However, they were not the only ones improving.

True, many adventurers ended up not taking on the golem forest quest once again… But a large number of adventurers still ended up taking on the quest once again, including many of the C rank adventurers, which ended up increasing the average power of the entire army by a bit.

And now, as the days went by? The adventurer guild has finished their preparations.

And with that, the elven kingdom first raid on the golem dungeon and golem forest will began.
