The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

The Death Knight, who was currently fighting the mechs, was extremely anxious as he watched his army of skeletons being easily dealt with by those few spheres as if they were cutting melons and vegetables.

The skeleton soldiers were not very strong; many of their attacks were easily blocked by the defensive magic placed on the spheres.

On the contrary, the attacks launched from the spheres easily broke through their defenses and damaged their bodies.

The number of skeleton soldiers under his command is constantly decreasing.

Some skeleton soldiers finally managed to break through the defenses and get close to Pata, but they were blown away by a sudden explosion on the ground halfway there.

Even if a skeleton gets close, these thuds will keep throwing metal lumps at it, and these lumps will explode with considerable force.

The players had a great time in this battle.

There's no need to worry about the enemy's high-end combat forces causing trouble.

As for the main force, there were ten spherical war machines sweeping around them, making it difficult to break through to their side.

"Holy crap, is this the legendary sense of security from being surrounded by firepower?"

"Indeed, overwhelming firepower is the correct way to wage war."

"I no longer need to risk my life like before."

Without a doubt, compared to the previous wars, this war was much easier for the players.

So far, the casualties have not exceeded ten, while the skeletons have lost nearly two hundred.

With the suppression of firepower, the casualty ratio between the two sides became extremely high.

"Holy crap, right now we're just throwing grenades, but what if we develop rocket launchers or intercontinental ballistic missiles later? Then we can just take off."

"You're probably just dreaming."

"Putting everything else aside, it would be a miracle if we could even figure out the ultra-long-range control and detonation of intercontinental ballistic missiles, as well as their trajectories."

"Unless it's launching a satellite or something, but do you think that's possible?"

"Alright, stop thinking about these fantastical things. It's basically impossible to create an intercontinental ballistic missile in the magical world."

Mechs can be dealt with using magic and other methods in many situations, but missiles are completely different.

You said you could launch a simple missile without any major problems.

However, it becomes very difficult when it comes to navigation systems and such; at least, players haven't found any similar magic yet.

Moreover, for intercontinental ballistic missiles, without satellite guidance, at that distance, even if they were to hit, it would be impossible to know where the trajectory would go.

Moreover, given the current crafting capabilities of players, it's wishful thinking to even think about creating these things.

Unless there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of players in the future, there will always be many talented people who can work together to come up with a solution, and maybe they can actually figure it out, but the chances are slim at the moment.

........

Meanwhile, the skeletons were still locked in a fierce battle with the players.

On the other side right now.

Ogres are similar to giants, but they are not as intelligent.

In the dungeon, the ogres are considered a relatively large force.

It possesses nearly 200 powerful ogres.

Compared to the Dire Wolves and Bloodlust Lizards, who at least manage to produce some highly intelligent units, the Ogres are completely incapable of producing any.

They act almost instinctively.

Because of their enormous appetite, there weren't many other monsters left in their territory.

They basically all became their food.

Due to food shortages, the ogres urgently needed to migrate to other places, but their territory was separated from them by the skeleton race.

Crossing the Skeleton Clan's territory is difficult; each time, they engage in a significant battle with the Skeleton Clan.

There is a powerful Death Knight among the Skeleton race.

Therefore, they gained no advantage in any war. However, once they recovered, the ogres would launch a comeback and attack the skeletons' territory once again.

Only by crossing the territory of the Skeletons can one reach the new ranch.

At this moment, the ogre army was marching in a mighty force towards the skeleton race's territory.

Unlike before, when approaching the skeletons' territory would result in being besieged by the skeletons, this time the ogre army had already entered the skeletons' territory without any incident.

This puzzled the ogre race as well.

However, this was naturally a good thing for the ogres. As the lead ogre let out a roar, the ogres behind him moved even faster.

However, the commotion in the distance soon attracted the attention of the ogres.

What did the ogre leader see? In the distance, a group of skeletons were fighting with a pile of food.

Driven by their bloodlust, the ogre leader led his tribe directly toward the battlefield.

......

Meanwhile, the players, who were having a great time fighting the skeletons, suddenly heard a commotion in the distance.

"What the hell is this noise now?"

"Holy crap! Look over there, it's an ogre!"

Players are no strangers to ogres; they've heard the Bloodthirsty Lizard Clan and the Demon Wolf Clan mention the major factions in this dungeon before.

The players naturally knew that the ogres were being kept outside their territory by the skeletons and were unable to enter their territory.

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the cannibals, players probably guessed the reason.

"Damn, guys, this is getting bad."

"Without the skeletons blocking their way, the ogres were able to advance unimpeded, and all the brothers retreated into formation."

The players' original idea was very simple.

They contracted their formation, creating a three-way battle.

To the players' utter surprise, the ogres' primary target was actually them, while they ignored the skeletons.

Clearly, to the ogres, those fleshless skeletons were worthless; on the contrary, the players were just sweet and sour snacks in their eyes.

Upon seeing this, the Death Knight, who was fighting the mech, couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Without hesitation, it immediately ordered the skeletons and ogres to avoid conflict and to cooperate with the ogres from within to launch a pincer attack on the player.

Immediately under the players' watchful eyes, the skeletons moved in a certain direction to make way for the ogres.

"Holy crap!"

"This is going to be tough, guys."

"It's numb!"

"Screw it, just do it!"

With the addition of the ogres, the players who previously had an advantage suddenly faced increased pressure.

The ten-ball war machine can only provide auxiliary attacks around the players to ensure that casualties are minimized as much as possible.

Most ordinary players are now able to throw grenades much faster.

At the same time, the mechs increased their attack frequency, wanting to take down the Death Knight as soon as possible and then go to support the others.

However, it is obvious that the difficulty is extremely high.

"Damn it, if this keeps up, we're all going to die again!"

As time went on, the players found it increasingly difficult to win.

In particular, the grenades made by the Sky Dome were basically all wiped out.
