Evil God? My servants are players!

Although Sasha also thought the excuse was stupid, it was the only excuse she could think of in her desperation.

But to Sasha's surprise, this excuse worked remarkably well.

"I knew it! Those supposedly righteous churches also conduct experiments on the dead!" This is a conspiracy theory.

"The Goddess of Holy Light is truly great; can she even influence the spirits of the dead?" This is a belief in the Holy Light.

"How is this possible?! The undead and the Church of Holy Light?! Positive energy and negative energy?! But then again, maybe that's why they're so weak!" This is a theory of faith magic.

Players had no objection to Sasha's explanation, since they believed it was all part of "going through the story."

"Sigh~ It's bad to join the game halfway through. I don't even know what I missed. This part of the storyline is so confusing." A new player complained.

But let alone him, even the most senior of the two generals, Heng and Ha, wouldn't understand this plot.

In any case, the adventurers seemed to have been calmed down, and they were willing to fight alongside the players.

"So what's the plan next?" the archer who had joined the battle asked his strange teammate.

"Plan? What plan?" The muscular man in the phase looked puzzled.

"Your plan! To fight or to retreat?" The archer suddenly had a bad feeling; the guy in front of him didn't seem very reliable.

"Fight if you can, retreat if you can't," the muscular man replied nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this answer, the archers breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they could retreat, that was all that mattered; they had come here specifically to retreat.

As for joining the battle, it was merely to demonstrate one's own value.

If they can win, all the better; even if they can't, the Church of Holy Light can still help them out of consideration for the church.

With the addition of new forces and the elimination of one monster spawn point, the players' defenses became impregnable, and they even began to slowly advance.

If this continues, the surface dungeon might be soloed by players in a single day.

But things didn't go as planned; the long-delayed reinforcements finally arrived.

It was Hamlet's private army, and the bishop who had been replaced.

This reinforcement included a level 60+ priest, several level 50+ knights, and three hundred level 40+ warriors.

Apart from the guards still stationed at the walls, the remaining warriors and knights constituted the Earl's entire military force.

"My goodness, this is a semi-trailer truck! It could kill us in one hit!"

The semi-trailer quickly spotted the enemy reinforcements who were out of place among the guards.

Then, the man in the semi-permanent position asked the man in the prime minister's room:

"What do we do now? Should we evacuate or not?"

The muscular man in the phase countered decisively: "Retreat! We can't possibly win this!"

Then, the Phase Man shouted loudly to the other players:

"Let's retreat and assess the situation first! We'll launch another attack when the opportunity arises!"

After receiving the call from the Phase Man, the players were relatively orderly, with the veteran players at the front slowly retreating towards the dungeon.

Meanwhile, new players are gradually retreating and continuing to heal others.

Seeing this, the adventurers who were fighting alongside the players also slowly retreated in step with the players.

"Sir, where are we retreating to?" the archer asked curiously.

The muscular man glanced at the talkative, poorly modeled NPC and replied impatiently:

"Back to the dungeon."

After hearing the Phase Man's response, the Sagittarius breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself:

"Oh, sir, you must have built a teleportation array in the dungeon. That's a good idea, since the local lords don't seem to want to enter the dungeon."

When the enemy reinforcements saw the players begin to retreat, they did not try to stop them. The leading bishop simply watched everything unfold silently.

He seemed to be silently weighing something, wary of something, but after observing for a while, he still chose to make a move.

With a wave of his hand, the bishop understood the bishop's plan, and they charged straight toward the entrance to the Sien Dungeon.

All players and adventurers who tried to block them were either killed or sent flying.

The knights quickly rushed to the entrance, and then several knights blocked the entrance, cutting off the players' escape route.

The bishop seems to want to keep all the players and adventurers here.

The knights raised their shields before the entrance, displaying an imposing presence that suggested they could hold off a thousand men.

Seeing this, the retreating players and adventurers also launched an attack on the knight.

However, as the private army of an imperial count, these knights were incredibly powerful, their equipment was extremely luxurious, and they themselves were all nobles.

What's more, they are more than 20 levels higher than the players.

Players quickly came to understand the suffering of the guards.

"I can't hurt him, I can't hurt him at all!" one player complained as he withdrew from the knight's attack range.

However, these knights were like robots, mechanically following the bishop's mission: to prevent anyone from entering the dungeon.

So they just blocked the dungeon entrance and didn't chase after the players.

As if things weren't bad enough, after the knights blocked the dungeon entrance, more than 300 elite level 40 warriors joined the battle.

"Holy crap! The elite monsters are closing in! Hurry up, front! We can't hold out much longer!"

But this "how long" was actually very short, because the bishop also intervened.

The bishop starts with the same move as the goblin chieftain, but unlike the goblin chieftain, he summons a thicker but more deformed tentacle.

Numerous tumors and sparse hairs grew on the tentacles, which were constantly trembling and wriggling.

Compared to this tentacle, the tentacle summoned by the goblin chieftain could even be called a work of art.

It was this single, fleshy tentacle that, with just a sweeping motion, broke through the players' defenses.

Then, elite warriors struck directly at the weak point in the player's defenses, instantly tearing the defenses apart completely, with no possibility of rebuilding.

Although the players did not show any unusual emotions about this, they simply felt that the development team was being inhumane and preventing them from leveling up properly.

But the adventurers present were utterly defeated when faced with the collapsing defenses and their escape routes cut off.

"Help!!! The bishop has turned into a monster?!"

"Aren't you from the Church of Holy Light?! Do something now!"

"I shouldn't have come. If I had just waited patiently, there might have been a glimmer of hope!"

"Your Excellency! I was misled by them! I did not intend to oppose the Earl! I am a law-abiding citizen!"

These defeated adventurers dealt a further blow to the players.

Even the two guardian generals, Heng and Ha, were scattered by the adventurers.

"Damn it, I knew the production team had no good intentions. They're such idiots, not only do they not do their jobs, but they're always causing trouble."

The man with the muscular physique looked at the chaotic scene and shouted angrily.

"What should we do?!" At some point, the missing half-carriage was back with the Phase Man.

"What do we do? Just wait to die! Everyone! There's no going back! Counter-charge! Gain more experience!"

"The phase man shouted after replying that he was almost half-hanging."

To prevent the chaotic scene from deafening players, Phase Man also sent the same message in the world chat.

However, in this crisis, it seems that an adventure team that has been watching from the sidelines is about to make a move.
