Monster Lord: The Goblin Offers the Saintess to Me at the Start

Under the eyes of many knights, priests, and civilians, Vikalina finally spoke slowly: "There's still a chance."

The members of the Knight Order and the priests lit up with hope —

Was she holding back some secret card?

But when they looked at the female knight with high expectations, they heard her say calmly: "Sivis will come. He said he has a way to deal with this blood plague. The Blood Servants... he'll take care of them."

As soon as she said that, the civilians' expressions turned complicated — Of course, they wanted Sivis to arrive, but "soon" was how soon?

It had been just a few minutes since the plague broke out, yet a whole series of events had already happened — Knight Order reinforcements, the situation stabilizing temporarily, Sylar's rebellion, and more.

The sudden ups and downs were exhausting, and the people felt as if a long time had passed in just a short while.

That was why, even though they trusted Sivis deep in their hearts, they still couldn't help but feel: Why hadn't the lord arrived yet?

Should we have to wait longer?

The surroundings fell into a deep silence, and the number of Blood Servants continued to grow.

One of the members of the Knight Order couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Are you kidding me? Sivis? Who the hell is he?"

Then various voices rose up in response.

"Are you crazy? Bringing him up? Sivis? Are you trying to make fun of us?"

"Hey, I succeeded — let me laugh in my last moments of life."

The members of the Knight Order finally understood what it meant to laugh in a situation of complete helplessness.

They had thought of all kinds of possible reactions from Vikalina, and even if her survival plan had a very low chance of success, they would have been willing to try it in such a desperate situation.

But instead, she gave them an answer that was extremely ridiculous: waiting for Sivis.

Wait for what?!

They weren't even thinking about whether they hated that little nobleman or not...

If Sivis actually had the power, they wouldn't mind waiting for him to save them!

But...

They found Vikalina so ridiculous, actually believing that a little nobleman had the ability to solve this hopeless crisis.

That wasn't stupidity, what was it?

The priests, however, still weren't giving up. They couldn't help but ask: "Knight Vikalina, that person named Sivis... what kind of strength does he have?"

"If he has the strength of a Gold-Rank, or a secret card that can unleash Gold-Rank power, maybe he could get us out of here?"

"He doesn't."

The female knight looked embarrassed.

"Then, can he summon any powerful Gold-Rank individual from a distance?"

The priests continued.

"He can't."

After Vikalina said that, she fell silent.

The priests still weren't giving up, but in the end, they muttered to themselves and stopped talking — judging from Vikalina's expression, she didn't even know what Sivis's secret cards were!

Then… how could she be so sure that "waiting for him would save us"? That was a joke, right?

Vikalina actually wanted to say that Sivis could give everyone immunity to the infection, but before she could even finish her sentence, she heard the knights laughing coldly and mocking her:

"Okay, you guys are losing your minds? Why keep asking?"

"I think that Sivis is probably hiding in some room in the factory right now, trembling in fear, too scared to even show his face!"

"Maybe Sivis is already dead and has become one of those Blood Servants! We killed so many monsters earlier, and one of them might have been that 'hero' we've been waiting for!"

"Okay, okay, Vikalina, coming here with you was the biggest mistake of our lives!"

"I see now — you're really into that little nobleman, but it doesn't matter — we respect your courage, but I have to tell you, the guy you like is just a total waste!"

They were shouting, and in their crude words, the priests didn't speak up, but they silently cast healing spells.

One after another, the spells hit, and the knights' shouting grew even more forceful — they were crushing Blood Servants with their hands, all while continuing to mock.

The civilians, who had been loyal to Lord Sivis, immediately wanted to react: "Don't talk about Lord Sivis like that! Lord Sivis wouldn't deceive us — he's coming!"

But as they spoke, they didn't really believe it themselves.

What the Knight Order members said wasn't impossible.

The situation was just too terrifying!

Before the disaster struck, the civilians had been confident that Sivis could handle everything.

But now, this terrifying wave made them feel like a small boat in a stormy sea, ready to capsize at any moment.

Sivis, this great figure, had never shown any terrifying or amazing personal strength.

What did he have that could fix this situation?

For a moment, the only thing echoing around was the Knight Order members' accusations, mockery, and insults toward Sivis: "I think you're all being fooled, tricked by him! You're all fools!"

"We just got unlucky, and we actually listened to your opinion!"

"Bad luck! Really bad luck!"

...

They were all firing at him!

The civilians were even threatened by the knights' actions, and they couldn't say a word.

Vikalina, alone, couldn't possibly argue back.

She wanted to say about Sivis's special ability, about Sivis's combat power...

But no one was listening!

"Clang —— Clang —— Clang ——"

With the sound of weapons colliding, the defense line had been forced to shrink again by a little.

The wave of Blood Servants almost blocked out all the view, and even more terrifying was that they were piling up on each other —— normally, Blood Servants were about the same height as a regular human, but by crushing and piling on top of each other, they had formed a "moving wall" of two or three meters high, pressing forward toward the factory base.

A dark, ominous scene that made countless civilians collapse in fear, even the knights felt that the situation was hopeless. And in this despair, they shouted even more fiercely: "This is what you meant by 'waiting for Sivis'? We only got this desperate situation! Stop talking about that useless guy!"

The monsters came in a more violent flood, and the civilians wanted to argue back, but they were too terrified by the knights' yelling and the monster waves to move.

Vikalina wanted to speak, but she was always a reasonable person. At this moment, Sivis had truly not appeared, and he was truly missing. She could only mechanically repeat: "You're wrong... he's coming, it's just not yet..." This powerless statement couldn't even compare to the knights' furious, desperate shouting in their death throes.

The closer the monsters got, the more violently these people screamed.

Vikalina felt she could no longer stand it, but she had no way to stop them.

Real death fear was everywhere, and the knights' filthy curses kept ringing out!

Their mental pressure was immense!

In the center of the defense line, a silver cleric suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, let out a slight sigh, then took out the crystal dragon relic from his spatial ring, preparing to activate the power of holy light.

But before he could do anything, a knight next to him shouted:

"Sivis... this useless guy..."

Suddenly, a sharp, furious roar rang out: "Silence!"

The voice carried with it waves of sound, clearly someone with Extraordinary power!

The knights were immediately shocked into silence, and the silver-rank cleric's movement froze.

"Another Extraordinary powerhouse? When did Minnet City have someone like this?"

He was a bit surprised but also happy.

At that moment, a huge stone was suddenly thrown, grazing the cheek of a Knight Order member, drawing a line of blood and making him terrified, stunned on the spot.

This person had been the one who cursed Sivis the hardest!

After the stone passed the knight, it quickly smashed into the "wall" of piled-up Blood Servants!

It instantly collapsed and shattered the wall! The front line of the monster waves was suddenly broken apart!

It was clear that the person who had attacked had an extraordinary level of strength.

At the moment all eyes were on the attack, people discovered the source —— it came from inside the factory base —— more accurately, from the direction of Sivis's bedroom.

A few seconds later, a petite girl, dressed in a maid outfit, was breathing heavily as she took one step after another. It was Reina!

She had already completed the reorganization and transformation of her life essence within the protective array, and she had returned in the body of an ordinary silver-rank powerful one!

The one who had used the giant stone to scare that knight was the little maid!

Unfortunately, she had only an extraordinary body and strength, but no corresponding martial techniques or magic to use. Although she was far stronger than ordinary bronze-rank beings, her combat power was probably the worst among the extraordinary ones.

Vikalina recognized the little maid and, with some surprise, said: "Reina, you're awake!"

She knew that Sivis had a way to solve the infection.

Sivis had even made up a fake story to prevent Reina and Vikalina from exposing themselves when they met. He said that Reina had dragon's blood inside her, and this infection had triggered her potential, so once she woke up, she would break through to the silver-rank — which was basically an excuse for his "refining the guardian."

By the way, awakening dragon's blood was actually something that had happened in Gondal, and there had been people who had become gold-rank warriors overnight by doing so.

Sivis's lie had no flaws.

In any case, Reina would later absorb the fossil and gain the dragon bloodline.

However...

After the little maid appeared, her expression was extremely angry, but as she walked, she was a bit unsteady.

She had forced herself to wake up.

While she was unconscious, she could still sense what was happening outside. She knew about Sivis's promise to the territory, and she knew that the defensive line was about to be broken.

So, even though she was still gathering her strength, she had forced herself to wake up, which left her body like broken porcelain, with life energy constantly leaking out from the inside.

"Can't let the master's promise... be broken," she said, her eyes shining.

"Have to hold on until the master returns!"

But, Reina felt that just after she had awakened, she had been full of energy, yet now her power was constantly disappearing!
