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

Sivis's tense expression caught the attention of Vikalina, who had already climbed to the top of the metal framework.

Sivis quickly climbed up the framework, rushing after Vikalina as they descended toward the ground, his brow furrowed as he muttered, "Something's wrong. The Blood Servants are attacking the factory."

Vikalina saw that, even when they had been in life-or-death situations in the sewers earlier, Sivis had remained calm. Even when a Blood Clan figure suddenly unleashed a bizarre and terrifying attack, its power laced with the aura of the Evil God, he had shown no fear.

Now, he was so anxious!

The female knight felt even more moved in her heart: "That's exactly the kind of person I admire!"

"He's really too kind. There's nothing else that can make him this uneasy except for protecting others!"

"It's great that I met you, Sivis."

Vikalina was still reflecting when Sivis was already in a panic.

A few townspeople weren't much in terms of the total number of his subjects, but he wanted to grow stronger. Both his townspeople and the monsters needed to be built up bit by bit!

Not to mention that several had already died—losing even one made Sivis heartbroken.

He could now make his subordinates and townspeople immune to the infection of the Blood Servants.

Sivis had originally been forced to abandon this whole group of accumulated subjects.

Now, he had a chance to save the new subordinates in Minnet City. How could he allow the gains he had just made to disappear?

After quickly reaching the ground, Sivis was taken aback.

The factory was still in order.

Many civilians looked worried, but they were all working diligently under the supervision of the overseers.

With the fall of Minnet City, the products made in Sivis's factory couldn't be sold quickly. However, what he had brought was high-end products from the previous world. Their market wasn't an issue, and production was still ongoing.

That's why the people were still busy.

Compared to the panic in other parts of the city, the people near the factory had work to do and tasks to focus on. Plus, there was always Vikalina's patrol around. Although they were also scared, they continued working in an orderly way.

When Sivis arrived in a rush, what he saw was actually a rather peaceful and calm scene.

As for the scene where Sivis and Vikalina had been ambushed earlier and dragged into the sewers through a portal, a few townspeople had witnessed it. However, they had been silenced by the Blood Servants early on, and their deaths had not affected anyone else...

Vikalina also arrived at Sivis's side. She used a kind of scouting ability, sensing the area.

"The raven runes I set up in the factory and the dorms didn't detect any enemy movement. It's probably not a large-scale invasion by the Blood Servants. This should just be a small group attacking the outer area of the factory."

"We just need to search it out. Sivis, don't get too worried."

The female knight thought her companion was being overly concerned, so she spoke to comfort him.

Vikalina also didn't want any civilians to get hurt, but she knew that staying calm was essential at this moment. The more panicked they were, the more likely they'd make a mistake.

"Okay, I know." Sivis nodded. He couldn't help but comment on the Church's deep pockets.

Although Vikalina didn't have much money, she had a space equipment, a rare scouting summon like the raven rune, and a soul lamp to ensure safety.

No wonder they're the biggest power on the continent!

Even though Sivis now has limitless potential, he dared not easily provoke the Church's people. They had too many resources and too many hidden cards.

He thought.

Many civilians, watching from a distance, cried out in surprise: "That's Lord Sivis!"

"Lord Sivis looks a bit dirty now. What happened?"

Soon, someone mustered up the courage to come closer. "Lord Sivis, you look… what's going on with you? It seems like you've gotten yourself into a lot of mess. Is there anything we can do to help?"

At once, many people put down their work and came closer to this area, eyes full of love and respect for their lord.

At the same time, this group was also a bit panicked.

"Lord Sivis, what's going on recently? We've noticed a lot of people have disappeared."

"I've only been working here for a short time and haven't run into anything yet, but I heard some of my friends just vanished in the middle of the night, dragged into an alley."

"They say there are monsters in the city. What are we supposed to do? Should we keep working in the factory?"

The people were all shouting in confusion.

Even the overseers didn't stay loyal to Sivis by driving these people away. They were scared too. They also felt the situation was getting more and more unstable!

Sivis slowly raised both hands and pushed them down, saying, "Everyone, just continue with your work as usual."

"There have been some monsters in the city right now. I just went to clear them out with Vikalina. That's why I look a bit messy. Please be calm. As long as I'm here, none of you will be disturbed by the monsters in the city."

He muttered, full of confidence.

Sivis had only recruited around seven or eight hundred people. Compared to the city's population of tens of thousands, it wasn't much at all.

He thought, "Protecting them is no problem!"

After the lord made such a solemn declaration, the people who had been under a lot of pressure, just using their work to numb themselves, now lit up with a sense of hope in their eyes.

"Really? Lord, you will protect us?"

"Lord Sivis, can we bring more of our families here?"

"Long live Lord Sivis!"

"Thank you! Thank you for everything you've done for us."

...

The people's eyes shone with excitement.

"Relax, it's no problem," Sivis nodded, trying hard to comfort them.

"If you want to bring your family here to work, or continue as before, we're still hiring normally."

...

After some conversation, Vikalina came over and looked at Sivis, saying, "I just released a detection spell for evil. It seems a small group of Blood Servants has appeared in the southwest."

Sivis then looked back at the crowd again: "I'll go clear out those monsters first. Everyone, stay calm."

The people around still looked reluctant, and when they heard Sivis was going to go deal with the monsters, they didn't try to stop him. They just looked at the lord with deep concern.

With that, he and the female knight quickly left.

The people watched Sivis's back, their expressions more energized.

"We really met a good man. Who else among the nobles would hire us and promise to protect us?"

"Everyone, hurry back to your posts. We must work hard to repay Lord Sivis." The crowd was now full of determination.

...

The people weren't stupid. They could feel the worsening situation in the city lately.

The previous scene of the Knight Order causing a big commotion had been spread widely among the people.

Even the Church thought the current situation was dangerous. How could they possibly survive?

With Sivis's assurance, they finally felt safe.

The people might not trust anyone, even Vikalina, who had been patrolling for them all along. But Sivis's reputation among the people was enough to make them have no doubts at all!

...

On the other side, at the edge of the Daister family's estate.

Sivis had initially led people to build a batch of dorms. But as more workers arrived, many could only temporarily stay in the houses near the Daister family's estate.

As for the original owners of those houses, they had already joined Sivis's factory thanks to their proximity, and happily moved into the dorms, with no desire to stay in their own old, run-down homes.

The workers who had been living in those houses also had hope in their eyes. They got their wages every day and enjoyed the factory's food benefits, and they felt like life was full of hope.

But now, the people living near these houses were extremely panicked.

About six or seven strange figures, wrapped in thick bloodstained auras, surrounded the area.

"Don't come any closer! Go away! Monsters! Die! Die!" A few strong, big men held long spears made from sharpened wooden sticks, and stood firm against them.

The Blood Servants weren't very strong—probably around Bronze level three or four. They were all ordinary people who had been transformed into these creatures.

As for the big men facing them, they had no cultivation, but in the realm below Extraordinary, factors like equipment, weapons, morale, and fighting spirit could all affect the outcome of the battle.

These men had just found work with Sivis, and were on the verge of a better life. They had been training regularly in their free time, and in recent days, they had been eating meals with meat at the factory…

Each of them had determined eyes, their muscles rippling, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

They were holding their ground against the Blood Servants.

Although the Blood Servants were just a bunch of savage beasts without any intelligence, that was exactly why they had an instinct for self-preservation. They kept leaping around the big men, looking for an opportunity to attack.

Behind the big men, a group of children and the wives of the men watched with worry, hiding inside the houses.

"Go, Dad! Don't lose to them!" The children shouted as hard as they could, hoping their fathers could hold off the monsters.

But the big men's foreheads began to sweat, one bead after another.

Even though they had started off strong, shouting and trying to scare the monsters away, people get tired and exhausted eventually.

The Blood Servants were created by forcefully extracting the potential from souls and bodies. Without blood to replenish them, they had condensed decades of life energy into a single, tireless killing machine.

They kept jumping around, waiting for the big men to make a mistake.

The scales of victory were slowly tipping.

But…

The big men still forced themselves to stay strong, holding their ground against the monsters.
