The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

And so, the little Pata and the little skeleton quickly entered the skeleton race's territory. Led by the little skeleton, the two of them soon arrived at the entrance to a special cave.

As soon as it went in, the salted fish was startled.

This place is mostly filled with skeleton mages and skeleton knights.

The Skeleton Clan's high-end combat force is mostly dormant here.

The moment the salted fish and the little skeleton entered, all the skeleton mages and skeleton knights turned their empty eyes toward them. However, upon seeing that it was the little skeleton, they looked away and went back to sleep.

Seeing this, the salted fish secretly chuckled.

"It's definitely good to lack wisdom; it makes things so easy to strike."

While thinking about it, Salty Fish and Little Skeleton immediately took off the backpacks they had brought.

Inside were several objects that looked similar to hand grenades.

This is the magic crystal bomb that players have been researching.

Compared to the previous method of risking one's life to detonate magic crystals, it is clear that magic crystal bombs are more cost-effective.

Dying and reviving not only delays the battle but also costs an extra gold coin.

However, the cost of a magic crystal bomb is only about 20 silver coins.

And it is even more powerful.

And so, the salted fish and the little skeleton began to entangle these things around the skeleton knight and the sleeping skeleton mage.

After doing all that, Saltfish took the little skeleton back to the players' territory and then carried several backpacks full of bombs.

After ensuring that each skeleton knight and skeleton mage had at least six or seven bombs on them, Salty found a rope and began to slowly string the grenades together.

The current situation is that whenever these skeletons make any movement, they will pull the rope, which will break the pin on the grenade, and then a series of explosions will occur.

There was another important reason for this design: the salted fish also wanted to try it out and see if the little skeleton could command these skeleton knights and skeleton mages.

When they go to fight the undead knight, the little skeleton will give an order for all the skeletons to stay still.

If these skeleton knights and skeleton mages obey orders, then everyone will be fine. But if they don't obey orders, then there's nothing we can do but discard them.

Meanwhile, on the Death Knight's side...

Just like before, he continued to wander around the Fountain of Rebirth.

It never dreamed that the Skeleton Clan had a traitor, and this traitor had brought along a henchman who was currently wreaking havoc on the Skeleton Clan's elite combat units.

.......

Meanwhile, on the players' side, many players had already gathered at the edge of the Skeleton Clan's territory.

As Lilith watched her wolf and bloodthirsty lizard tribes continuously transporting supplies, she felt somewhat puzzled.

"What's going on? Is war about to break out?"

As she spoke, Lilith casually grabbed one of the patacas and began to inquire about the situation.

"Hey, you're talking about something like this. It's not a big deal. You know about the Skeleton Clan, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lilith shook her head.

"The skeleton race now has a Death Knight, and the entire skeleton race obeys the Death Knight's commands. The little skeletons over there have no say."

"That's why we've repeatedly been thwarted when we sent the little skeleton to fetch things for us."

"We can tolerate this, so we discussed it and decided to purge the court of corrupt officials."

"Purge the court of corrupt officials?" Lilith was puzzled; this was yet another phrase she didn't understand.

"You don't even understand this?" the player said with a look of disdain.

"Simply put, we dethroned the Death Knight and made the little skeleton the current leader of the skeleton race."

"And the little skeletons will obey us, so in the future, the entire skeleton race will be under our control. That's why we call this 'using the emperor to command the princes'."

Upon hearing this, Lilith nodded thoughtfully.

"So that's how it is. This is the practice of 'purging the court of corrupt officials' and supporting a puppet ruler to indirectly control the entire Skeleton Clan."

As she spoke, Lilith nodded in satisfaction as she watched the departing players.

"I don't know how these little plops' brains are structured, how they could come up with such a method."

"If I hadn't seen them just pattering, I would have thought they were a group of nobles from the human empire who were obsessed with power struggles."

Fortunately, Lilith is now quite resistant to players' antics, and she won't be surprised no matter what outrageous things they do.

"Poor skeletons, they ended up as a subjugated race of the Pata."

Sighing, Lilith returned to her villa.

However, Lilith suddenly stopped halfway through.

"Wait a minute..."

"No, something's wrong, a big problem. Why do I keep feeling like something's not right?"

Lilith pondered the player's words, and the more she thought about it, the more something felt off. She felt a sense of déjà vu, but she couldn't quite place where she had seen it before.

Then, as she walked, Lilith suddenly stopped, her face turning deathly pale.

"The Skeleton Clan has no real power among its little skeletons, and the Succubus Clan has no real power among its young ladies."

"No...this..."

Now Lilith finally understood what was wrong.

Isn't this little skeleton exactly the same as my current situation?

They're completely cut from the same mold.

Suddenly, Lilith remembered that not long ago she said she wanted to clean up the succubus clan and restore order to the succubus clan, and then Jiang Chen suddenly jumped out and said he would help her, and help her for free.

"Thinking back, what Jiang Chen said to me back then, Salty Fish probably said to that little skeleton too..."

In an instant, Lilith felt a chill sweep over her entire body.

"No, I must be overthinking it."

"Jiang Chen definitely didn't make that kind of 'slap' sound."

While comforting herself, Lilith quickened her pace.

As soon as Lilith returned to the villa, she saw Jiang Chen leisurely soaking in the pool.

"Jiang Chen... Jiang Chen!"

Jiang Chen, who was leisurely taking a bath, suddenly heard Lilith calling out.

"What's wrong? I'm not deaf, you don't need to shout so loudly."

"Jiang Chen, your bunch of little rascals have gone to attack the Skeleton Clan."

"I thought it was something serious. I know about this. Let them fight, so what?"

Upon hearing what Jiang Chen said, Lilith's expression became conflicted, and then she seemed to have mustered up her courage.

"Um... Jiang Chen, I just heard those little devils saying something about 'purging the emperor's inner circle' and 'using the emperor to command the nobles'..." Lilith's voice trailed off.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

"Haha... Looks like my little rascals are pretty smart. How come I didn't think of that? Hahaha." Jiang Chen forced a laugh.

"By the way, Lilith, what are we having for lunch today?"

"Jiang Chen, don't change the subject. Do you also have these thoughts about our succubus race?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately became serious.
