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

Sivis began using words to make these subjects understand their own importance — he not only provided them with work, but he was also their only hope of being safe from the monsters!

After that...

"The time is right — kill that Blood Clan figure, and use the exclusive 'Call Guardians' skill obtained from the Extraordinary Soul to summon monsters from the territory, to hold off a wave of Blood Servants."

"It should be able to increase loyalty even more, and also help these people get over their fear of monsters."

As for what if the Blood Servants don't attack the factory?

That's impossible.

Sivis was certain that, as the number of Blood Servants kept growing, they would definitely attack places like the factory, which gathered a large number of people.

At that time, a group of monsters with Silver-Rank strength and immune to infection would be like tigers in a flock of sheep, slaughtering all the monsters without mercy.

Coincidentally, the people already knew that Sivis had a way to protect them.

So they would link the appearance of the monsters with Sivis's promise.

They would understand that the Lord was forced to use monster power for their sake, and being saved by monsters at the last moment would be enough to make these people willing to follow Sivis back to the territory, accept coexistence with the monsters, and acknowledge Sivis's identity as a Monster Lord.

After this chain of plans, Sivis's future development of the territory looked very promising.

"As long as there is a large initial group of subjects who accept the monsters, people who join the territory later will be quickly assimilated."

"Minnet City..."

"You may have been destroyed, but you've lifted me to a new height!"

Sivis planned to establish a base in the Hanseter village, creating an area where humans and his monster settlements could support each other.

Once these humans moved into the territory Sivis had taken over, they could continuously build various buildings, increasing the prosperity of the area.

"Upgrading the monster settlement won't take long."

Sivis silently planned, and his mood became even more cheerful.

The people didn't think that much. They just felt that Sivis had really promised to protect everyone forever, and that this virtue was so great, like a saint on earth.

The crowd was so moved that they cried with emotion, looking at Sivis as if they had seen a god.

They nodded earnestly, "We will, we will definitely spread your will! We're going to the factory right now!"

Saying that, these strong men quickly took their wives, children, and elderly family members and rushed toward the core of the factory.

That was their survival wisdom. They didn't know whether the female knight from the Church was good or bad, but she was definitely from the Church.

If she really wanted to harm her own people, the lord would be stuck in the middle — it was better to leave first.

At the same time, spread this huge piece of good news —

Everyone is safe from monsters now!

The great lord has decided to protect and bless us!

Long live Lord Sivis!

...

Watching these people leave in fear and excitement, Sivis gave a silent nod. Everything was going exactly as planned.

He didn't rush to take these people directly to the territory. Crossing the entire Minnet City would expose them to countless Blood Servants. It was better to wait until he obtained the Extraordinary Soul and had Silver-Ranks monsters escort them out of here.

Sivis still needed to find the last material for the guardian formation near the church — Dragon-related Fossils. He couldn't leave just yet.

However, now that he had broken through to Silver, he could actually start the formation ritual earlier.

Sivis thought to himself: Dragon-related Fossils were the most important item to help Reina complete her guardian initiation. In fact, just improving her physical condition to become a guardian didn't require such special materials.

With the power of the fossils, Reina could gain the strength of a dragon, and her power would be greatly increased. Different qualities of fossils brought different one-time boosts and future potential.

Before breaking through to Extraordinary, Sivis had to follow the system's original process. He had to collect all the materials before he could transform her.

Now, he could start the transformation earlier. He would transform Reina into a guardian first, giving her Silver-Rank strength.

This Silver-Rank transformation, compared to his own perfect breakthrough, was the weakest tier of breakthroughs.

But it was still Silver-Rank.

As an Extraordinary, Reina's safety was guaranteed, and her strength could crush all ordinary people and Bronze-Rank units.

Sivis decided to return to his residence, spend a day or two training to stabilize his Silver-Rank status, and then begin the transformation ritual for Reina.

As he was about to leave, he noticed that Vikalina looked a bit sad.

Sivis felt a little guilty in his heart. He had a way to immediately improve Vikalina's reputation — for example, telling the people that the method to solve the plague was a joint effort between him and Vikalina — this wasn't a lie. Without the female knight, Sivis wouldn't have been able to successfully absorb the blood magic granted by the God of the Blood Sea, break through to Silver, and steal part of the Blood Clan's power.

But Sivis wouldn't change his strategy just because of a moment of sympathy.

He wanted to raise the loyalty of these subjects as high as possible, making them revere him as a divine figure.

Even if Vikalina would also be transformed into a guardian in his plan, she couldn't share his authority.

After going through life and death, and being reborn with Vikalina's help, Sivis was genuinely moved, and he had made a decision — as long as he survived and grew stronger, he would help Vikalina achieve her dream.

At least, he would transform this medieval society into something similar to the capitalist society he had known before, where no one would starve, and even the poorest people could eat and stay warm through the various benefits in his territory.

But before ideals.

Sivis was extremely determined to be a "selfish" person.

"Gambling with life is enough once!"

He never wanted to experience that kind of situation again — Sivis's life was almost entirely in Vikalina's hands. If the female knight had shown even a little less determination.

Sivis would have been dead!!

The best case scenario would have been him being forced to reveal his Evil God aura, which would have triggered an uprising from the Church.

Revealing the aura of the God of the Blood Sea would have caused no consequences at all.

The Church had long known that the Evil God of the Blood Clan was only sleeping, not completely destroyed. Occasionally, some of its aura would emerge.

Thinking, Sivis only gave a few insincere words of comfort:

"It's okay, they just don't understand you yet."

"If they spend more time with you, they'll realize your kindness — even more than me."

"What good is kindness? I just can't help them..." Vikalina's mood was a bit low.

At this moment, Sivis could only continue with a few empty words to try to cheer her up.

"It's okay… with your potential, you'll be able to get there soon…"

While talking, the two of them, before parting, took a final look around the factory area.

Sivis successfully used his power three more times to save three different groups of people, and he demonstrated his ability to remove the infection in front of them.

He asked these people to inform the residents near the factory to stay calm and keep working, because when the disaster hit, his lord would step in.

Vikalina watched this scene, and her originally dark mood gradually lifted.

She had never cared much about her own honor or losses — she only wanted a result, a result that would make the world better.

Now, with someone like Sivis, who had such power, by her side, what else could she possibly want?

After a few more groups of people left, thanking Sivis with all their hearts.

Sivis and the female knight temporarily separated.

Vikalina didn't disturb Sivis. She knew her companion needed to stabilize his Silver-Rank status.

Sivis, upon returning to his residence, went to Reina's side and poured a wave of holy light power into her. The little maid, who had been in pain and showing signs of discomfort, finally calmed down.

He sat cross-legged and began meditating.

At this moment, a very dense magical energy surrounded Sivis.

Various brilliant energies swirled around him, like a painting.

If a Silver-Rank Extraordinary with a specialty in magic saw this scene, they'd be absolutely shocked. The magical energy Sivis was drawing in while meditating was approaching Gold-Rank — what an incredible talent!

If they saw how fast Sivis was meditating, they'd be even more surprised, because despite the terrifying amount of magical power surrounding him, his training speed was surprisingly slow?

That's not possible.

Sivis's training speed wasn't actually slow.

He had at least a C-grade talent. But compared to the dazzling light effects Sivis was producing, his speed was just absurdly slow…

Achieving a perfect breakthrough into Silver required an unprecedented and perfect talent.

After Sivis used divine power to get an advantage, his cultivation speed didn't get any boost, which resulted in this strange scene.

"Need to recruit more subjects as well," he muttered to himself.

Sivis estimated that, normally, it would take him about half a month to gather enough energy to reach the second stage of Silver-Rank cultivation...

Too slow!

After all...

The surrounding area was still full of danger! He had to find a way to speed up his growth...

But the people in Minnet City who had already started to trust him were already all recruited. How could he quickly increase the number of subjects?

Oh right...

Besides humans, there were other races that could be recruited too.

Sivis suddenly remembered that, during the chaotic times in the future world, some non-human races had once turned to the Evil God.

Because they had been discriminated and oppressed by the Church for a long time.

These races probably had no real prejudice against monsters, and seemed to be great candidates for recruitment.

"Problem is, where do I find these races?"

"I remember in the game, there were chances to spawn dark elves, dwarves, goblins, and other races near monster domains..."

"You could either attack or subdue them."

"But what's the mechanism in the real world?"

Sivis had an idea, but he didn't have a clear starting point. After thinking for a while, he temporarily gave up on the thought and decided to focus on his cultivation instead.

He completely immersed himself in meditation.

...

At the same time, a wave of celebration suddenly erupted near the factory.

A message spread from person to person among the people, a message that filled their eyes with hope.
