The Armored Corps »Corp captain Calgurio didn't hide his dissatisfaction over the fact contacts were cut.
TN Note: the raw for General is å°è», the one used here literally means "army corps captain".

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.

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

"What's happening here?"

"The Dungeon is a place to explore.

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

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.

"Except...we aren't entirely certain the bracelet's revival effects actually work though?

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.
ä»®©³®è¨è¯æ£èçå¹æ"¯æ"ªç¥æ°§£
Miranda's words held truth; the revival effect is an unknown factor.

But, a structure that can't be taken down even with 350,000 elites is unthinkable.

A militant force that could take burn several large cities to ashes, they could definitely be called an unreasonable force with confidence.

Worse case scenario, they could destroy the dungeon and escape it.

200,000 troops headed towards the Capital of Tempest, and the remaining forces number 150,000.

One could say they still have 150,000 soldiers, yet it should be thought of as having 150,000 soldiers left.

Now that things have reaches this stage, Calgurio thought perhaps they have underestimated tempest.

Gathering the army's forces, and focusing entirely on taking down the capital of tempest would be the best course of action.

The situation had started to show change, as the inflowing whorl had swallowed Calgurio and co.

When the Empire's army had finished charging into the dungeon, their capital warfront on the other hand had not progressed at all.

Only a few kilometers away from their current point, it was but a stone's throw away.

They've spent a day to set up base, and send only the reconnaissance team to scout out the capital's surroundings.

Towards the Empire's army, Gerudo laughed scornfully.

No matter how much they scouted, it was meaningless for no ambushes were stationed.

Since they were too close to the capital to deploy traps, this time it will become a straight up head-on collision.

They were overwhelmingly disadvantaged in terms of numbers.

However, Gerudo's role is to stall, to maintain the frontline defenses of the capital.

A battle tactic that the Dwarven King is most skilled at, to launch powerful magic behind protective troops forming a wall
TN note: ...that's kinda standard.
²«é«ååç´æå¿«ªä½"æ...§
To Gerudo, this was a clean and simple strategy.
å¼·åªæ»æéæ³æ¾¤®¯ç´ çè¡é
And the ones launching the powerful magic spells, are the Kurenai.

They, who are Benimaru's personal guards will become the cornerstones of this battle. In addition, there's the enforcement from the Great Jura forest's high ranked existences, the Youjutsu squad of 5,000.

They could have gathered more, but this time there is a focus on those with high attack power.

And so she invigorated the masses heartwarmingly.

It looks like the hurdles had already been cleared, and by now it's already an established fact.
TN Note: While "å¨å²å å..." literally means the surrounding moat has been filled, derived from the saying "å¤å å"/ to fill the outer moat. Deriving from Sengoku era, in a nutshell it means to reach the objective you must first clear the obstacle. Given the context the author's most likely implying that Momiji had cleared the hurdles of romance I think. God knows when don't ask me......
æ...祮段é§'«¯¢¸«è² ...¨²«¯æ® æ"¬äºº¯æ¡å¤å«£...ª®ç¥ª
At the strategizing stage it would seem Momiji is above Benimaru, thought Gerudo, though the person in question might unexpectedly not dislike this.
TN Note: I guess it's true when they say love is a battlefield.

If he really disliked it, he would have dealt with it long ago.

If that ain't it, the title "Supreme Commander" would weep.

Afterwards, the Empire's army and our own army, whether their barriers are stronger and how to defend against their magic attacks, these will be the deciding factors of this battle.

That would be the case......under normal circumstances.

In this battle, there's Shion under Gerudo's supervision, and she declared that she would take independent action.
åæ«è¡åæ"¬æ¥ª°è¨èªéæªè©±§£
Doing as she pleases, this would usually be considered an outrageous act.

But, if they want to offset the current overwhelmingly disadvantageous status quo of fewer numbers, a wild card like Shion just might work.
'«®æ示

"Just leave her be, She's probably got something in mind.

They'll put all their heart into defending, and soon Shion will cause chaos in the midst of the enemy army. When the chance arises they're focus completely on full-on firepower.
