Evil God? My servants are players!

"Lady Hyacinth, what is the purpose of your visit?"

Veronica was still somewhat wary of the sudden arrival of the hyacinths and goblin army.

"We have come to support you and help you retake Hamlet."

"We will provide you with the necessary supplies, and we will also set up a teleportation array so that a steady stream of resurrected people will come to support you."

Hyacinth replied mechanically, clearly reading from the script Shen Yuan had given her.

Veronica was not surprised by Hyacinth's behavior. After all, with the players' success as a shining example, Veronica's expectations had already been lowered considerably.

Even Veronica found it hard to believe that the leader of the Resurrected was a normal person.

Of course, Veronica also knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and that these resurrected beings were helping her for some reason.

Having nothing left, Veronica chose to go straight to the point:

"So, Lady Hyacinth, what is the price?"

"The price?" After hearing Veronica's question, Hyacinth hesitated for a moment, as if she was thinking about something, or as if she was waiting for something.

"Got it." Hyacinth then read the newly appeared manuscript aloud.

"There's no price to pay; we resurrected just want a place on the surface."

"You want land?"

"No, we just want to cooperate."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Wouldn't it be better if we united as a whole?"

"You want to annex Hamlet Town? You should know this is Imperial territory!"

"No, no, no, it's cooperation. You remain the leader of Hamlet Town. We just want an identity that allows us to walk on the surface. In other words, we want to join you."

"So, you want me to be a puppet in the open?" Veronica clearly still didn't quite believe Hyacinth's manuscript.

"No, we won't interfere too much with you; we are allies."

"Fine, I didn't have a choice, did I? At least you all talk a good game. I hope you'll actually keep your word."

"Of course, you won't regret the decision you've made."

"Let's hope so, after all, you all played a part in what's happening on the surface right now."

Despite her sharp tongue, Veronica eventually agreed to Shen Yuan's conditions, but she didn't accept them entirely passively.

Veronica was also waiting, waiting for the moment she regained her strength, after all, this suddenly emerging resurrected force, although its strength was unknown.

But the strongest being that has appeared on the surface is the level 50 ratman right before our eyes. That's right, Hyacinth has leveled up again after the third layer of the seal was broken.

Once Veronica regains her strength, she will no longer be at the mercy of the resurrected.

Although Veronica does not intend to kill them, if these resurrected individuals simply want a home or base on the surface, or if they want Veronica to endorse or support their power, Veronica will grant their wishes.

But if these resurrected ones try to go further and attempt to take over Hamlet Town, Veronica will have to draw her sword.

However, Shen Yuan was not worried about Veronica's little scheme. After all, she was just a lone level 70 paladin, much easier to deal with than the monster in the center of Hamlet Town.

Through the players' perspectives, Shen Yuan also saw the monster, although through the players' broadcasts, Shen Yuan's eyes could obtain very little information.

But He could also roughly gauge the monster's strength.

Level 85.

This is an extremely terrifying number. If it were to increase by another 5 levels, this monster would be close to becoming a local god.

Conventional methods are no longer effective against this monster; even Veronica is no match for it.

Shen Yuan saved Veronica not because he hoped she could defeat the monster, but because he hoped she could distract the monster at a crucial moment.

That's right, Shen Yuan already has a way to deal with this monster.

Like the Earl, Shen Yuan also prepared a ritual to deal with this monster, using its own methods against it.

However, the setup and execution of the ritual would take time. Although the monster seemed mindless, Shen Yuan was afraid that it might react violently, so he needed someone to restrain it.

The same applies to those Chaos Eggs, which is why Shen Yuan brought the goblins along as well.

The main duty of these goblins is to protect the initiator of the ritual, Hyacinth.

However, these are things to be done later. Right now, we need to set up teleportation arrays to ensure that players can continue fighting.

They began clearing out a large number of chaotic eggs ahead of time.

Although in the previous battle, the players and adventurers joined forces and killed more than a thousand guards and nearly a hundred elite warriors.

But there are still more than two thousand Chaos Eggs wandering around Hamlet Town.

If these Chaos Eggs were to gather together and launch an attack, even Veronica in her recovered state would have to temporarily avoid their onslaught and defeat them little by little by kiting them.

In terms of time, although it is urgent, it is not that urgent.

Because the giant monster has no interest in the town's defensive magic for the time being, it has been attacking the animated houses.

Fortunately, Hamlet was once a prosperous town, and although it gradually declined, it left behind a large number of vacant houses.

With these revitalized houses, that monster will have plenty of time to play with.

Therefore, Shen Yuan decided to proceed slowly to reduce the risk of the ceremony failing.

After the negotiations ended, Veronica's attitude softened again, and she saw the goblins pulling carts full of food:

"I agree to your terms. What are your plans next? Also, can we buy some of that food? I'll pay for it later..."

After all, Veronica had been studying at the Church of Holy Light and had not received a systematic aristocratic education. When it came to negotiations, she only knew how to use her power to intimidate others, making her a terrible negotiator.

However, given Veronica's status and strength, this move was surprisingly effective, so Veronica has continued to use it to this day, making it almost a conditioned reflex.

However, after Veronica asked the question, the hyacinth didn't respond for a long time, so Veronica had to remind it again:

"Hello? Can we buy some of those foods? I'll pay for them later."

Hyacinth, having not received the manuscript, then realized that she now had to deal with Veronica herself.

Although the hyacinth has grown quite a bit, it was still a little flustered for a moment:

"Of course! There are several cars inside prepared just for you!"

It wasn't that Shen Yuan wanted to see Hyacinth make a fool of herself; he simply wanted to train the little guy.

After all, given Hyacinth's identity as "the author of 'Our Principles,' the writer of 'The Creeping Covenant,' the one favored by the evil god, the players' priest mentor, the god of goblins, the founder of the evil god's church, and the pope of the evil cult, which consists of only two people including Hyacinth," she will definitely hold an important position in Shen Yuan's forces in the future.
