The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

W was talking to herself, but when she mentioned Ines's peeping, Ines's face changed drastically as if by reflex. She crouched down, her body trembling as she spoke in a trembling voice, "No... I don't want to look! I don't want to look!"

"Ines! What's wrong with you? What did that guy do to you?" It was the first time that W saw Ines looking so scared. She seemed like a completely different person.

After hearing W's voice, Inès finally calmed down. She looked at W deeply, and the sad look made W feel a little bit reluctant to look at her.

"It's nothing... the aftereffects of the backlash... W, stop talking about Wang Chong. He's too terrifying... What I witnessed cannot be revealed to anyone under any circumstances. You just need to know that if we become his enemy, we will suffer something more painful than death." Inès stood up and said coldly.

"Tsk..." W didn't refute. She had certainly experienced some of the other person's formidable qualities, but she just hated being passively controlled like this.

"Then you have to think about how to explain to Hedley later. I didn't rush back immediately just for your sake." W said.

"Hedley... let me think about it." Inès also understood that some things had to be explained clearly and there was no escaping them.

"It's really troublesome. It's because you took a long time to get there. It was almost half an hour. Since you have no injuries, what did you talk about with him that took so long... Also, why do you smell so strongly of sheep today? Did you run back all sweaty?" W asked involuntarily.

"If you don't want to die now, shut up!" After hearing this, Ines' face turned red with shame. She gritted her teeth and ran forward angrily.

Chapter 32 Crossing the Snow Mountain

The wind and snow began to howl. Before nightfall, the infected members of the Reunion Movement, carrying their bags, began to make their way along the snowy mountain road. All along the way, no one spoke, each staring straight ahead, seemingly tirelessly moving forward.

"I earned 500 villain points by making W pledge allegiance and conquering Inès. The villain points are fine, but the reputation points gave me 100 points per person, for a total of 200 reputation points. So now I have an extra point. What is this?"

As Wang Chong followed the Yeti Squad, he once again opened his system interface to review the current reputation system. Besides being related to one of the constraints for completing his final mission, this reputation value could also be exchanged for Villain Points. It was precisely because of this that Wang Chong paid particular attention to earning reputation points.

"Also, with the addition of W and Inès, the support rate has risen from the original 20% to 23%, and is still slowly rising. It seems that the Sarkaz mercenaries can also be regarded as a part of the support rate in the integration movement. Speaking of which, system, I should not violate any restrictions by subduing W and Inès," Wang Chong asked.

"No, if there are such signs, this system will remind you immediately. However, the host does not have to pursue restrictions or anything like that. Just think of it as a reward for completing the task normally. If you can meet certain conditions, the reward will be doubled or tripled." said the system.

"Why not take the full reward if you can? But if it doesn't make you happy, that's another matter." Wang Chong chuckled twice and said, "The main reason is that the time flow rate in the Type-Moon world is quite different from here. Three days have passed here, but it's only been about seven hours there. Right now, there's basically no change there, so there's no rush to use force to plunder. Let's just slowly reap the benefits and strive to maximize our profits."

"Well, host, I have a small suggestion regarding the mission. If you want to significantly increase your support rate within the Reunion Movement, in addition to conquering representatives of various factions within the organization, the most important thing is to demonstrate your strength more and cultivate your own team."

"Train your own team? I understand what you mean. You want me to recruit people to join, right?" Wang Chong figured something out and said with a smile.

"That's right, that's it. What could be easier to gain support than supporting you, the host, from the very beginning? Now that you have the power, and there are so many talents on the Terra continent that can be tapped, why not do it?" said the system.

"That's true. We can definitely make some careful plans, especially with the operators involved in the event plots. If I remember correctly, those event plots all take place after the main storyline, and those operators all arrived at Rhodes Island after the main storyline. Now it's easy to recruit them."

After the system's reminder, Wang Chong also set his sights further away. The black mist beneath him continued to penetrate the earth and began to spread in all directions.

With his current strength, he could unleash black mist that would spread across the entire world. This black mist would then serve as his eyes and ears, allowing him to begin his campaign against the world's inhabitants. Most importantly, the black mist could silently increase its own strength by absorbing Originium dust from all over the place. The longer he stayed here, the more steadily his strength would increase.

"You're daydreaming again, Mr. Wang Chong." A cold voice echoed in Wang Chong's ears. He didn't need to look to know the speaker was Frost Star, who had been accompanying him. He had been maintaining a good relationship with Frost Star these past few days, and he had saved Frost Star's life right in front of the Yeti Squad. Therefore, aside from the ones who had emerged from the Injured Camp, the Yeti Squad was the only group he could confidently accompany him on his journey.

"Aren't we all the same? We all have a lot on our minds when we're on the road." Wang Chong pointed at the people around him. Even some members of the Snow Monster Team, who were quite lively when they got together on weekdays, seemed particularly silent when they were marching with the main group.

"According to the news brought back by the Sarkaz mercenaries, the only mountain road that was originally able to bypass the army's patrol route is now also guarded. Therefore, a battle tonight is inevitable. The representatives of each infected person have already passed the news, so the atmosphere seems a bit solemn. After all, every battle is always accompanied by injuries and deaths." Frost Star said slowly.

"Talulah didn't think of letting me take action? Is it because she doesn't want to owe me a favor? Or is it because she hopes that the infected people will not develop the lazy habit of relying on others, but have their own backbone and fight for themselves?" Wang Chong asked.

"No, quite the opposite. Before she left, Tallulah left me a message, hoping to ask you, Mr. Wang Chong, to help tonight. Not to mention asking you to deal with those Ursus soldiers, even if you could just save the lives of the infected, I would be extremely grateful and consider this a favor to you, Mr. Wang Chong."

Frost Star shook her head and said, "Tallulah said that, whether it's human feelings or integrity, in her eyes, nothing is more important than everyone's survival. Only by living can we create a new future and witness that ideal future. Since we have the ability and conditions to keep everyone alive, why not use it?"

"I underestimated her. It seems that after experiencing several rounds of blows, she is no longer as superficially righteous as before. Perhaps she is no longer the noble fighter and flawless as before, and has begun to be truly considered a mature leader." Wang Chong nodded with a look of approval and said.

"Tallulah and the old stubborn man led some people apart from us to attack a nearby outpost. They were not only trying to steal some food to prepare for the coming days, but also hoping that a big commotion there would draw away the troops on the mountain road. That way, at least the main force could safely cross the snowy mountains tonight."

After Shuangxing finished speaking, she paused and then continued, "So, Mr. Wang Chong, what is your response?"

"Since Tallulah has given me this opportunity, how can I not seize it? Don't worry. Nothing will happen to any of them tonight." Wang Chong said with a faint smile.

"On behalf of all the infected, I'd like to thank Mr. Wang Chong..." Shuangxing leaned forward to express her gratitude, then looked at Wang Chong with a strange look and said, "But I'm really curious, what is it about Tallulah that you're willing to sacrifice so much?"

"Didn't I already answer that? It was love at first sight~"

"I don't believe it." Frost Star said with a faint smile.

"If you don't believe me, forget it. In your eyes, I seem to have paid a lot, but is it possible that those things are actually easier for me than plucking a hair?" Wang Chong spread his hands and said.

"I believe this... hmm." As they were talking and laughing, a cold wind suddenly blew, causing Shuangxing to frown. The illness in his body seemed to be affected a little, and the pain spread from his body again.

However, not long after this feeling appeared, a warm sensation washed over her from behind, and then her entire body felt as if she were wrapped in a quilt, very warm. Shuangxing naturally noticed that her body had once again been enveloped by Wang Chong's black mist power. After spending these days together, Wang Chong had become increasingly aware of her physical condition. Sometimes, at the slightest sign of illness, before Shuangxing could even say anything, Wang Chong's black mist power would already be enveloping her, helping to drive away the pain.

Wang Chong's thoughtfulness and consideration not only warmed Shuang Xing's body, but also her heart. Suddenly, her steps became lighter, and the distance between her and Wang Chong became closer. She whispered, "Thank you."

"No need." Wang Chong replied calmly.

"Love at first sight... If the person you fall in love with at first sight is..." Shuangxing said this without thinking for some reason, but finally shook her head with a faint smile and didn't continue.

Wang Chong reached into his arms, fumbled around for a while, and then pulled out a red candy. He handed it to Shuang Xing and said, "Here, your candy for today."

"Isn't this some weird-flavored candy again? I tricked you with spicy candy before." Although Shuang Xing said this, she still reached out to take it and put it in her mouth. The cherry-flavored candy made Shuang Xing feel a little better. "This time it's quite sweet."

"Maybe you didn't taste what I added?" Wang Chong smiled and flicked his finger, and the shallow wound on his finger quietly disappeared.

"At worst, I'll let you eat my spicy candy a few more times." Shuangxing smiled in return, and the distance between her and Wang Chong seemed to become closer.

Chapter 33: Ursus Thousand-Man Camp

"Look... I was saying that Big Sister must be interested in that Mr. Wang Chong. They've been so close these past few days, spending all day together. If this continues, it looks like Big Sister will be taken down before the leader is taken down."

As Wang Chong and Shuangxing walked side by side, the snow monsters behind them finally broke their silence and unknowingly began their gossip session. Big Bear was the first to speak, and he immediately started with some explosive words.

"If you want to be hung up and beaten by your elder sister, don't take me with you! I didn't hear what you said!" Yang Ge kept a certain distance from Daxiong, fearing that he would be implicated.

"Sister, how dare you tease me like that? Big Bear, are you getting cocky again recently?" Petrova was speechless.

"Hey, keep your voices down. Besides, I don't believe you haven't had this idea. Besides, isn't this a good thing? If Big Sister really gets along well with that man, then wouldn't Big Sister's illness be cured?" Big Bear looked at his group of disappointing teammates and said with regret, "We should help Big Sister, so that she doesn't fall in love with others, but others don't fall in love with Big Sister."

"I don't like to hear that. Big sister is beautiful and kind-hearted, how could no one like her?" said a member of the Yeti Squad.

"You forgot that she is pursuing our leader. It's not that the eldest sister is not as good as our leader, but it means that it's difficult to deal with the priority of this matter." A member of the Yeti team also discussed.

"It seems that it will be quite difficult for you, elder sister, to make the other person fall in love with you. You have to think of some way." Another person thought seriously.

"Yes, this is my eldest sister's lifelong event. If this thing doesn't work out, my eldest sister will be depressed and not get married in the future, which will make everyone very worried." A snow monster with courage and fatter than a big bear said something even more exciting.

"No... How did the topic inexplicably slip into the topic of Big Sister not getting married... You guys are really all desperate... Aa ...

"Big Bear! (Ursus swear word) You have caused us so much trouble!" Yang cursed angrily.

"You guys—are all very idle, right?" Shuang Xing began her educational segment, causing Wang Chong, who was watching from the side, to burst into laughter.

By the way, Wang Chong used the [Eye of Perdition] to observe Frost Star's current favorability: 65, indicating a certain level of trust in him. No wonder she was becoming increasingly comfortable with him. Perhaps even the beginnings of a new affection were emerging.

Wang Chong saw through it but didn't say it out loud. Not to mention that Shuangxing was thin-skinned, just from Shuangxing's cold-outside-but-warm-hearted personality, Wang Chong knew very well that instead of taking the initiative himself, it would be more effective to let Shuangxing take the initiative to improve his favorability.

……

The sky gradually darkened. The Reunion Movement troops had completed their ascent and were resting on a flat area, building a fire. Some guerrilla scouts, along with Faust, who had recently recovered from his injuries, were sent out to investigate the situation of the Ursus patrol at the intersection below the mountain. They waited for news.

Hedley looked at the scenery below the mountain, lost in thought. His mercenary group was at the vanguard, and if a conflict arose with the Ursus army, they would be the first to bear the brunt. Therefore, Hedley was still thinking about how to get through this difficult time safely.

However, Hedley's mood was still restless. Ever since W and Inès came back, Hedley had always felt a sense of annoyance.

He had already learned from W and Inès about the near-death experience they'd had today: W had provoked a terrifying monster named Wang Chong, and Inès, in an effort to help W, had carelessly used her Originium technique to spy on him, which backfired and killed her. Ultimately, it was only after W and Inès each paid the price of their loyalty to that person that the man, despite their past grudges, resurrected Inès and granted them both the gift of power.

To be honest, when he heard the explosive news, his brain was completely paralyzed. It took him a long time to process it before he broke out in a cold sweat. It was so close, so close that he and his men would have died at Wang Chong's hands.

For this, he scolded W for the first time, and it was also the first time he lost his temper in front of W. And W, like Inès before, knew he was in the wrong and rarely retaliated.

Although the final outcome wasn't too bad, with both of them returning alive, in Hedley's eyes, it was no different from death. Putting aside the fact that Inès had literally walked through the gates of hell, her future actions would likely depend on Wang Chong's will. Hedley knew full well that every gift of power came with a price tag that could be fatal.

"It would be fine if I were just that person's dog... Isn't that the fate of ordinary Sarkaz? They're either dogs or on the verge of being dogs, never truly free. But why do I feel like both W and Inès are hiding something important from me?"

Hedley carefully replayed the scene when the two of them returned. There was a strange atmosphere everywhere. Adding to the intuition he had developed from spending so much time together, it was no surprise that he had some doubts.

"What are you thinking about?" At this moment, Inès came from behind Hedley.

"A lot. There are things that happened today, and there are also things that will happen in the upcoming battle between our team and Ursus." Hedley answered truthfully.

"Speaking of today's events... that person gave W and me the first instructions." Inès spoke directly.

"What?" Hedley was shocked. Did the opponent make a move so quickly?

"He has confirmed the situation in the Ursus camp at the foot of the mountain. It is a battalion of 1,000 people, with a total of 1230 combat units. He asked our mercenary group to be the first to charge into the enemy." Inès said.

"That's it? That's all?" Hedley frowned. You know, they were already in the vanguard and were supposed to be at the front when they charged into the battle. Isn't this just nonsense?

"He also said that he would give follow-up instructions later. He will take action this time," Inès said.

"You mean he will join us in dealing with those Ursus soldiers? Wouldn't that be a bit of a waste of talent?" Hedley asked in surprise.

"Don't ask me, that's what he said anyway, so we can only do it, right?" Inès said.

"In that case, let's get ready quickly. With that gentleman accompanying us, at least we don't have to worry about casualties." Hedley nodded.

"He has one last word."

"The last sentence?"

"Keep our men away from Garson's forces."

……

It was already quite late at night. In order to catch the enemy camp off guard, they chose to rest on the mountain for the first half of the night and then start to go down the mountain in the second half of the night.

Wang Chong had indeed reached the front. Not only him, but also the Snow Monster Squad and Frost Star were positioned just behind the vanguard. After all, they were now the most elite fighters in the Reunion Movement. To pierce the Ursus defenses and inflict a crushing defeat, they needed to gather their most elite forces, sharp as the tip of a blade, to be the first to pierce the enemy's defenses.

"Hush, wait for the scouts to arrive. Walk softly, we've arrived." Hedley, the vanguard, immediately warned the others behind him. He had noticed the sound of footsteps approaching from the front.

Chapter 34: Camp Bombing

"Ha Qiu... it's so damn cold. We have to patrol these desolate mountains in the middle of the night. You think the bigwigs up there are just too full to bear to force our battalion to guard this desolate mountain. It's been going on for several days straight, and there aren't even any birds or animals left, let alone refugees. We can't even find any game."

In the dim night, the Ursus patrol slowly made its way through the snow. The leader sneezed and began to curse. They had patrolled this road numerous times and knew the surrounding conditions well. However, the latter part of the night was often when people were most tired and relaxed, and since they had made several trips back and forth without incident, the group seemed particularly relaxed.

"Oh, it's all because of those damned lowly bastards. The Fourth Army has long since lost its former glory! Now the Fourth Army is dominated by those short-sighted, honorless lowly bastards and their families. And yet, we, the descendants of families like ours who followed the Emperor and made great contributions to the Empire, have been forcibly exiled to such a poor place, watching those lowly peasants saunter before us all day. Ptfft, what a damn bad luck."

"Stop discussing these things! Don't forget that there are still many fools who have lost their glory and are trying to side with those cheap guys in the Fourth Army. Now there are not many of us who follow the honor of our ancestors in the Fourth Army. Even if our battalion accounts for the largest proportion, it is only 70% and 30% at most. Keep your eyes open and control your mouths. Whether we can restore the glory of our family depends entirely on the weapons in your hands and the positions you will climb in the future. Do you understand?" said an ambitious-looking Ursus captain.

Upon hearing their captain's words, the Ursus soldiers couldn't help but flatter him, each fantasizing about their own future as the offspring of the old aristocracy, reclaiming control of the discourse and basking in the so-called glory. Unbeknownst to them, the next moment would be their death.

"rustle--"

“What the—Ugh!!”

The Ursus patrol soldiers, who had just heard the noise and wanted to speak, felt a heat on their necks, and lost the opportunity to speak. These soldiers died silently in the snow before they could realize their so-called "ambitions."

"Deal with the bodies and move on quickly. It won't be long before the enemy realizes that this patrol is missing. We must seize this opportunity and attack the camp before they notice." Hedley drew his sword and warned the Sarkaz warriors around him.

"Wait..." Inès began.

"What's wrong?" Hedley asked curiously.

"Pick a few suitable people and change their clothes," said Inès.

"You want to pretend to be them so that you can open the gate of the camp?" Hedley immediately understood Inès's plan, but he frowned and said, "But we don't know the code."

"It's simple. I just spared a half-life and used my Originium technique on him to get the secret code from him." Inès said.

"Leave one of the clothes to me." At this time, W also appeared behind the trio, grinning, "Since we want to break into the camp, just opening the door is not enough. We might as well make a bigger fuss~"

……

"Can we succeed relying solely on those Sarkaz mercenaries? There are only a hundred of those mercenaries, but there are more than 1000 people there." Frost Star frowned and asked.

"I've decided to take action. What do you think?" Wang Chong stood up and said, "And don't underestimate these Sarkaz. They've fought bloody battles in Kazdel for a long time. They're far from comparable to these Ursus who have been rotten to the core at the border."

"That's okay... but the scouts just sent a message saying they saw the distress signal sent by the outpost. It looks like Tallulah and the others have succeeded. So it's indeed our turn to attack." Frost Star instructed.

"Okay, but you still have to prepare the crossbowmen. It's not that I'm worried that they won't be able to defeat or completely wipe out the enemy, and thus let them escape. I just think this is a good opportunity for our crossbowmen to train. After all, there are so many live targets for practice." Wang Chong said with a smile.

"Your joke is not funny at all." Frost Star shook his head and said.

Wang Chong only smiled without saying anything, then transformed into a cloud of black mist and disappeared in front of Shuangxing. Shuangxing saw this and began to deploy the main force according to Wang Chong's plan and began to slowly descend the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, only one camp was still ablaze. The men inside were gathering and selecting their soldiers. They had just received a signal that a nearby outpost was under attack. Since there was an enemy attack, they naturally had to respond. However, they couldn't just go out in full force and abandon the camp. Therefore, they selected only 500 soldiers and led them out of the camp towards the outpost.

Only 700 men remained in the camp, and W and his team, pretending to be on patrol, successfully infiltrated the camp after using the correct code. Using his Originium skills, W planted several key bombs in the camp before hearing Wang Chong's command to detonate them, using the black fog.

"BOOM, hahaha, let these stupid Ursus wake up from their sweet dreams~" W pressed the bomb, and then immediately led the team towards the camp gate.

"boom!!!"

"Something's happening!! Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack!!"

"The fire broke out! The fire broke out!!"

Explosions rang out one after another in the camp, and for a while, the sound of terrible tragedy rang out in the camp. Some Ursus soldiers were blown to pieces on the spot and died in their dreams. Although some still had half their lives, they were almost worse than death and only hoped that others could give them a quick death.

The explosion was accompanied by a burst of flames that shot up into the sky. The lieutenant and adjutant who had been guarding the camp had just led their men to support the outpost fortress, and many of the remaining centurions were implicated in the explosion, resulting in a complete collapse of the entire command system and complete chaos.

"What are you doing here?" The soldiers guarding the door saw W and others coming and said vigilantly.

"Don't you see that there are floods everywhere in the camp? Come with me to put out the fire. By the time the food is burned out, we will be left chewing grass roots for ten days or half a month!" A Sarkaz asked angrily.
