The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

At this time, the rescue team led by Wang Chong and others either bypassed or eliminated the Ursus scouts along the way. They finally arrived at a location near the river and the dam and lay in ambush temporarily.

Now, Wang Chong and Ines were observing the enemy camp, letting Ines use her Originium skills to observe the shadows and determine the number of people in the camp and the various situations.

"There are about 3000 people in the entire camp, but the number is not the main point. The main point is that those people are equipped with heavy weapons with strong firepower. There is also a company of about 50 war wizards in it. It seems that they have put a lot of effort into catching Tallulah and others in one fell swoop." Inès said after using the Originium technique.

Chapter 44: Destruction Posture

After listening to Inès's summary, Wang Chong nodded and then gestured for Inès to follow him back to the secluded place they had found.

Arriving at the hiding place, Wang Chong looked at the crowd who were waiting for news and informed everyone present of the camp situation he had just explored. For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.

"So, does anyone have any good suggestions? Why not tell us and let's brainstorm?" Wang Chong said with a smile.

"It's easy. You lead us in to kill them. No matter how many people there are, they will not be your match anyway, right? If you can just kill them all with a big slap like before, wouldn't it be much easier?" W said with a smile, throwing the knife as if it was a matter of course.

"Haha, okay, then I have a better idea. How about I give you W enough blessings now, and then you can kill them alone?" Wang Chong said, pointing to the camp.

"Then please spare me. With my weak arms and legs, it will take me a while to blow up 3000 people even if I use the Originium technique." W shook his head and raised his hands in surrender.

"I do have the ability to take them all out in one fell swoop. But if that were the case, why would I bring you along?" Wang Chong said slowly. "It would be better if I could just silently bury them all with a single palm strike... and then what? Do I have to take action every time something goes wrong? The Patriot was so powerful before, but you didn't always let it bear all the pressure alone, did you?"

"So... sir, you want to train us? The reason you don't take action now is actually because you think we alone are enough to wipe out the 3000-man army, right?" At this time, Faust raised his head and spoke.

"Well, Faust, since you have seen my intention, I think you have some ideas. Why don't you tell me?" Wang Chong said in a tone of slight approval.

"Since we have to work together to accomplish this, it must be related to our abilities. In this case, why don't you all introduce your respective Originium skills. Let me start with you. My Originium skill allows me to become invisible while moving, and I also have a good shooting skill..." Faust said slowly.

"Ines, my ability is reconnaissance, which I have just demonstrated. In short, all the enemy's movements can be handed over to me." Ines said a little vaguely. After all, she did not want to reveal all her abilities. As a mercenary, Originium skills are her trump card. She would not reveal too much unless she trusted someone very much.

"W, my ability is to create explosives. You should all be aware of this. The two previous fires were also caused by me." W intentionally or unintentionally emphasized the record of the fire that destroyed the thousand-man camp.

"Both Big Bear and I's Originium abilities are related to ice and snow. If Big Sister is here, our Originium skills can be better utilized. However, we are both very confident in fighting in ice and snow environments." Yang Ge said.

Finally, there are the crossbowmen. Their Originium skills are more or less related to reconnaissance or shooting. Compared with the previous few people, their Originium skills seem a bit mediocre.

After everyone explained their abilities, they each had their own ideas and began to think about countermeasures. Seeing this, Wang Chong nodded slightly and began to walk out, leaving only one sentence: "I'm only responsible for the final backup. No matter how far you go, I will be your last card. So go as crazy as you want."

……

By nightfall, upstream, Tallulah had almost completed building the sturdy rafts and had successfully pushed them to the center of the ice. Now, it was time to signal the Patriot and wait for his return.

After Tallulah asked everyone to stand on the boat, she began to perform her Originium skills in front of her. Flames ignited from her blade. Then Tallulah raised her sword high, and the flames formed a fire tornado around the blade, constantly spreading upward and outward, like a huge fire dragon rising into the sky.

On the plains some distance across the glacier, the standoff between the 5,000-man Ursus Legion and the Patriots continued. However, at this moment, they all noticed the fire dragon soaring into the sky. The moment the legion commander saw the flames, he immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly gave orders: "They are melting the glacier! Trying to escape by water! Everyone prepare to charge! Don't let them escape!"

"Om-"

But at that moment, a perilous aura locked onto him, causing him to abruptly stop in his tracks as he tried to rejoin the group. This time, the Patriot moved, his eyes gleaming crimson. Then, clutching his giant halberd, he stomped on the ground, cracking it. In an instant, his massive figure appeared before the 5,000-man legion, bringing down the halberd with him.

"boom!"

A huge roar sounded, and the captain was frightened and fainted, falling backwards. However, several shields were erected in front of the patriots to resist their attacks.

However, in front of the Patriot, one or two shield guards who were resisting his attack directly spit out blood and then fell to the snowy field. These two people were actually killed by the Patriot's halberd.

But at this time, everyone also reacted. The elite Ursus vanguard troops took the lead in besieging the Patriot. Even though the Patriot used his halberd to cut off those who wanted to get close to him one by one, he was eventually trapped in the siege of these troops.

"Boom boom boom boom!!"

Artillery mages controlled drones to carry out targeted strikes against the Patriots. The Patriots' massive size meant they didn't have to worry about their allies being harmed by explosions. The war machine officially began to animate. Simple infantry elites took up their weapons to stab, while shield guards erected shields to defend, and mages directed artillery bombardment. The mere switching of these three classes forced the Patriots to erect their large shields and passively defend, fending off these attacks while preparing to break out.

But how could this legion let the enemy escape? Seeing that the enemy had put up shields for defense and the infantry weapons could not cause effective damage, the deputy commander began to command the troops, rotating the infantry and commandos. The commandos held standard spears, activated the Originium skill to amplify the spears, and began to charge at the Patriots.

"Boom boom boom!"

The spears pierced the Patriot's shield, pushing him back more than ten meters. At this moment, the commandos surrounding the Patriot from behind wanted to take this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the Patriot. The Patriot swung his giant halberd to deflect all the spears behind him.

"Ugh!" However, there would always be a spear that successfully pierced the Patriot's broken armor. Although it failed to successfully break the Patriot's defense, the impact force moved the Originium fragments on the Patriot's body, causing him to feel very uncomfortable pain.

“*%&……￥*&￥%…”

At this moment, the encirclement suddenly opened up in all directions, giving the Patriots a clearing. The Originium magic array set up by dozens of magicians seemed to have finished its chanting. Then, a huge magical wave emanated from the array, and a dark beam of light struck the Patriots directly.

"Ah--!" The Patriot, who was shrouded in black light, couldn't help but tremble. It seemed that Ursus's spell was suppressing the Patriot, trying to destroy its vitality.

But under the cover of black light, the Patriot let out a hoarse and powerful roar, and magic fluctuations also surged from his body. The Wendigo's blood began to burn at a high speed, and the spell called "Cannibal Ritual" quietly absorbed all the source stone energy around him and the magic fluctuations on his body.

[Destruction Stance——]

In an instant, like thunder, the Patriot hurled his massive halberd, which, like a meteor, smashed down on the sorcerers casting spells on him. With a resounding "boom," the ground shook, dust billowed, and the halberd had created a massive crater with a radius of a hundred meters. The sorcerers were clearly utterly dead, and along with them, nearly a hundred soldiers were reduced to ashes. Nearly a thousand soldiers were either dead or wounded, and a chasm had been torn open.

"boom--"

The giant figure landed beside the giant halberd and pulled it out. A dark aura lingered around the patriot, a fierce aura that was enough to make everyone present feel like they were falling into an icy cave. These Ursus soldiers finally remembered the legend of the monster "The Empire's Killing Machine".

"Here... I will kill all who advance... Come and fight!"

The patriot spewed out every word, and once the monstrous posture was revealed, it was almost a fight to the death.

Chapter 45: Siege of the River

"boom!"

Tallulah chopped down the flames and thrust her sword under the ice. The entire ice field began to tremble, and white mist rose. Cracks spread across the entire ice surface like spider webs, and finally broke completely, splashing warm water.

The river beneath Tallulah's feet began to steam, bubbles billowing, and a thick white mist rose from the surface. The ice had melted, and a large amount of water surged forward, rushing forward.

Before Tallulah and her crew's raft could drift downstream, they had already tied rocks to the banks, allowing the raft to temporarily remain in the middle of the river. Firstly, Tallulah needed to ensure that all the ice ahead melted to avoid capsizing, and secondly, to ensure they could wait until the Patriots returned.

But when the ice melted completely, there was no sign of the Patriot. Some infected people couldn't help but worry. Talulah could only comfort them temporarily, saying that they should wait a little longer, and she believed that the Patriot would be able to return safely.

Soon, at the end of the direction Patriot had left, she saw a figure rushing towards her. Tallulah was instantly delighted. That familiar, large figure was undoubtedly Patriot! Tallulah quickly addressed the guerrillas, "Be prepared to cut the ropes at any moment. Mr. Patriot has made it back. Once we catch him, we'll leave immediately!"

When the guerrilla members heard this, they all stood up excitedly. Nothing would make them happier than the safe return of the patriots. They all cheered up and got ready.

Tallulah also grabbed the two reins, and after getting ready, she said to the Patriot who was about to reach the shore: "Mr. Patriot! Here!"

The giant figure leaped up and landed directly on the raft where Tallulah was. Tallulah immediately stepped on the raft and pulled the reins hard, trying to stabilize the raft that was about to roll over due to the huge weight.

After stabilizing the raft, Tallulah immediately cut the rope with her sword, and the raft began to move rapidly downstream along the turbulent river. Tallulah looked in the direction where the Patriots had come from. Smoke and dust billowed, and it seemed that the 5000-man group was chasing them. Unfortunately, this time they were bound to be left behind.

"Phew, it's all right now, Patriot... Mr. Patriot! You're covered in blood!" After successfully escaping danger, Tallulah finally turned her attention to Patriot, only to notice that he looked in a terrible state. He was covered in blood, his body already a deep black. He was constantly breathing heavily, somewhat painfully, and his body was trembling, as if he was enduring something.

"It doesn't matter...the blood...is theirs." The Patriot's voice became extremely hoarse at this moment, as if something was completely stuck in the Patriot's throat.

"Mr. Patriot, your illness..." Talulah knew that this was the result of Patriot's excessive use of Originium skills, which caused his mineral disease to worsen further. The Originium crystals had completely occupied his throat, making it impossible for him to speak like ordinary people.

"...Be careful, downstream." The Patriot just shook his head, not caring about the physical matter. His brows were deeply frowned, and he was still worried about whether he could successfully escape from danger.

"Be careful downstream? Could it be that there are soldiers from the empire blocking us downstream?" Based on the patriot's words, Talulah immediately began to think about the possibility of the Ursus troops appearing downstream.

Indeed, although they had found this only escape route, who knew if it was a deliberate trap set by the enemy? After all, it would be extremely difficult for only 5000 men to defeat them. The Fourth Army, having operated on the glaciers for years, could not be unaware of the importance of this river. The enemy's pursuit of them was likely a tactic to tire them out.

Now, in order to give himself and his men enough time to build a raft, the Patriot had to face the 5000 men alone. Although they had successfully fought their way out, they had also sacrificed the Patriots' fighting power. Now, the Patriots were unlikely to be able to fight in a short period of time. If during this window of opportunity, he and his men were ambushed downstream...

Thinking of this, Tallulah's heart sank. This was a complete conspiracy, forcing her and the others to choose this route to escape, and sacrificing the Patriots' fighting power to fully prepare for their escape. It seemed that an ambush downstream was inevitable. All they could do was to fight their way out of the final encirclement.

Tallulah's eyes revealed a resolute determination. She would not let down the opportunity the Patriots had secured for them. Even if the next challenge was even more formidable, she and her companions would fight their way out with all their might.

……

Downstream, Wang Chong's rescue team also began to get busy. Yang Ge, Da Xiong, and W, under Faust's Originium skills, began to move towards the camp on the hillside.

They didn't intend to sneak into the camp and stage another explosion; in fact, their conditions didn't allow them to do so. The 3,000-man camp here was higher than the previous 1,000-man camp, and the patrols were more professional. Furthermore, Faust's invisibility wasn't true; it simply employed a layer of optical camouflage to hide him from distant observers, effectively concealing him from scouts.

But if you get too close, it is easy to notice the disharmony between the invisible object and the surrounding environment, and the probability of being discovered will increase significantly.

Therefore, the foursome didn't choose their campsite, instead bypassing it and climbing higher. At the foot of the mountain, both the surroundings around the campsite and the river were still relatively green, the temperature was still above zero degrees Celsius, and there was little snow. However, as the altitude rose, the foursome found themselves in the snow less than a hundred meters away.

"Very good, this snow mountain is better than I thought. In this way, the plan can really be implemented. Hahahaha." Yang Ge looked at the white mountain and confirmed the speed of snow accumulation with his feet. He was very satisfied.

"The Originium devices along the way are also equipped. We just need to keep going up, and then this snow line will be under our control." Big Bear also put down a device with Originium blocks on it, exhaled a hissing white mist, and said.

"Okay, don't say anything more. I still have to run back and forth. After I finish here, I have to go down there to make some arrangements." W picked up a stone and threw it into the snow.

"Hmm...hmm...I understand. The gentleman said that he and Inès did find traces of bombs on the dam. In addition, the crossbowmen also found that the camp had many sentries stationed along the river. It seems that just as the gentleman judged, they plan to wait until the leader's ship arrives nearby, and then prepare to blow it up." At this time, Faust seemed to be listening to something, and after confirming the information he received, he informed the people present.

"Once the leaders and their men get close to the dam or the river bank, the people in charge of the dam will detonate the bomb and blow up the riverbed. Either they will destroy the boats, or the river will suddenly become turbulent, making it impossible for the leaders and their men to reach the shore. When the time comes, the troops in the camp will rush out, and the leaders and their men will no longer be able to resist." Faust said.

"This black fog ring is really magical. It can communicate over such a long distance without using such bulky equipment." Big Bear said in amazement.

"Thanks to this, the most critical information transmission problem of our crazy plan has been solved. Now what we need to do is to create a time difference and get rid of all those imperial lackeys before Leader Talulah, the captain and others arrive. Let's go, stop talking nonsense, we have to act quickly. Miss W also needs to quickly arrange our side and then rush to the dam." Yang Ge said.

After saying that, the four of them immediately began to climb up the snow mountain. They needed more snowflakes, so they needed to climb higher.

Chapter 46: Blushing Inès

"Huh, things on the mountain are finally done. It's really cold, thank goodness they can stay there for so long." W clapped his hands, and followed Faust, using the other party's invisible Originium skills to successfully bypass the enemy camp and scouts, and safely returned to the hiding cave they had chosen before.

As for Daxiong and Yangge, they still had responsibilities up in the mountain, so they didn't come down. When W arrived at the hiding cave, he saw only a few crossbowmen and scouts on standby. He frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Where are Wang Chong and Inès? Where did they go?"

"They should still be hiding near the dam. After all, the patrol team there checks there every half an hour, and each time is about 15 minutes. Maybe that's why it's inconvenient for them to leave, so it will take a while for them to get back." A crossbowman said.

"Hmph... Is that so?" W seemed a little dissatisfied with this argument. She had seen the other party's mysterious and elusive methods of using the black fog. Wouldn't it be easy for him to avoid those patrols?

However, W didn't have to wait long before he heard footsteps outside the cave. Wang Chong and Inès walked in one after the other. Wang Chong hadn't changed much, still looking relaxed and at ease. W even wondered if he was just out for fun.

As for Ines, for some reason her face turned a little red, and she kept wiping her lips with her hands, as if she had eaten something secretly outside.

W walked straight up to Inès, put his hands on his hips, and said, "What were you doing out there for so long? Why is your face still red? Did you do something shameful?"

"What...what shameful thing? I guess I'm cold. Humph, you'd better mind your own business before asking others." Ines was a little agitated, then turned her head away, as if she didn't want to pay any attention to W.

"Tsk..." W was also too lazy to pay attention to Inès. Instead, he looked at Wang Chong and said, "So, can we start now?"

"Well, crossbowmen, you will work with Ines and me to clean up those guys who are transmitting signals along the river bank. Then Faust, W, you will be responsible for the matters on the dam. When my signal comes, blow up the dam and kill the people responsible for blowing up the dam near the dam. Everything will go according to plan." Wang Chong said.

"Yes!"

"OK~"

Both sides responded.

……

On the turbulent river, Tallulah and the others remained vigilant, observing the surrounding riverbanks. They had been floating on the river for about three hours, and fortunately, no further unusual incidents had occurred. However, the more they remained, the more uneasy Tallulah became.

"Where should we be now?" Tallulah asked loudly to the people on the raft behind.

"Talulah, we should be halfway between the starting point and the end point. In about three hours, we should be able to reach the location near the snow-capped mountains where the troops were previously staying." The professional guerrilla scout in the rear shouted.

"About three hours left?" Tallulah glanced up at the sky. It was already completely dark, and another three hours would essentially be midnight. That was when everyone was most exhausted, and responding to a surprise attack would likely be extremely difficult.

"Let people start to rest now that they are in such a state! Get enough rest!" said Tallulah.

"But what about the surrounding situation?"

"If those guys intend to take us down, they must have stationed a considerable number of troops, probably thousands. But with such a large force, if we really want to choose an ambush location, we have to choose an area where the troops can easily deploy. This area is all wooded, making it difficult for their troops to deploy, and some of their heavy firepower equipment cannot be used. Therefore, they can only choose the plains at the end of the woods, near the snow-capped mountains."

After Tallulah finished speaking, she looked ahead, oars in hand, and said, "When we are about to leave the end of the forest, we will immediately pull over. Fighting on land is always better than fighting on water."

"Yes!" The guerrilla members in the rear all answered.

As for why they didn't reach the shore now, it was because there was a high probability that there were pursuers behind them, and they needed to use the river to create as much distance as possible between them. If they reached the shore too early, the riverbanks on both sides would be completely covered by cliffs beyond the forest, leaving no other way out. They would have no choice but to return to the river and follow the current. If they did that, they would sooner or later be overtaken by the soldiers who had built rafts behind them.

……

"Well!"

Another Ursus messenger died silently under Ines's shadow blade. Not to mention the crossbowmen following behind Ines, even Ines herself felt a little surprised at her current strength.

It seems like I've improved since my fight with W. But he hasn't been using Black Mist on me during this time, right? So how did I improve my strength?

"It can't be that kind of... wu..." Ines couldn't help but blush. She accidentally remembered that she and Wang Chong were a little bored when they were waiting for W to come back, and Wang Chong asked her to play the flute for him in the wild.

Especially after returning to the cave, W almost discovered something, which made Ines wish she could find a hole to crawl into. But Ines had no other choice. She didn't dare to resist this man who had already planted a shadow in her heart. As long as the man's tone was a little tougher, she felt like she was going to urinate. She could only obediently follow him like a docile sheep and let him do whatever he wanted.

Moreover, this wasn't the first time he'd come to her to vent. These days, whenever he had a free moment, he'd grab her and vent his feelings. Gradually, Inès had gotten used to him coming to her. Besides, that kind of thing... somehow, it felt strangely pleasurable.

"Snapped!"

"What are you thinking about so intently? Could it be that you're having sexual thoughts?"

Suddenly, Ines felt a violent slap on her buttocks, which frightened her greatly. She quickly covered her buttocks and looked at Wang Chong with a reproachful look.

"Why is your face so red? Could it be that I guessed it right?" Wang Chong said with a smile, "I bet your next sentence will be: What do you mean by guessed it right? I'm... I'm frozen!"

"What do you mean you guessed it! I'm... I'm frozen! Ouch..." Inès said, then realized something was wrong and her face turned even redder.

"I never thought that our cold and beautiful mercenary, who appears to be ruthless and decisive in killing people, would still think about these things in this situation~" Wang Chong couldn't help but tease, and put his arm on Ines's shoulder, then used his hands to grab and rub the slightly raised snow-capped peaks.

"Wait! There are people around!" Inès whispered, looking around fearfully.

"Them? They've already gone ahead to explore while you were lost in thought. You have to catch up quickly and kill them with one blow, preventing them from informing you of the situation. Only you can do that." As he spoke, Wang Chong let go of his hand and slapped Inès's butt again.

"Ah~" Inès couldn't help but gasp, rubbed her butt and ran away at a trot.

Wang Chong shook his head and smiled, then picked up the communicator on the ground and used the black mist to engulf the corpse. Soon, a message and a memory appeared in Wang Chong's mind. Wang Chong smiled slightly, and after learning the method of communication, he continued walking forward with the communicator.
