The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

Wang Chong folded his arms over his chest as he watched the three girls playfully leave. He naturally knew how to accommodate young girls' shyness, so he allowed Tallulah to take advantage of this opportunity to escape. It also gave Tallulah a chance to get used to it.

"Congratulations to the host. You are one step closer to achieving your goal. All you need to do next is raise Tallulah's favorability from 85 to 100 points." The system's congratulatory voice sounded.

"Well, of course I understand... But the most important thing right now is how to repel those 1 troops. I hope that this time, the system can bring me enough benefits so that I can speed up the progress." Wang Chong said.

"Okay, host. Tongbao will assign you a small side quest based on the crisis situation. You will be rewarded with card draws and villain points, allowing you to draw cards and get more rewards. By the way, host, would you like to use your item jar? Maybe you can get something useful this time." The system reminded.

"Prop jar? Well, it seems like it's time to use it. Give me a prop that's useful for the current situation. It's just the right time to take advantage of the good fortune of Tallulah's unprecedented confession. System, use the prop jar for me immediately." Wang Chong said.

Chapter 106: Self-doubt W

"Wang Chong... Wang Chong? Did Tallulah upset you? Or is it because we disturbed you?"

Shuang Xing was walking side by side with Wang Chong towards the warehouse to prepare ingredients. She looked at Wang Chong's obviously drooping face and couldn't help but ask.

"No, none of that...it's none of your business. It's my own problem. I just thought of something unhappy." Wang Chong shook his head and said.

"Huh... Is Wang Chong unhappy about something? After all, Wang Chong has always been smiling, rarely like now." Shuangxing asked doubtfully.

"Look, now you see it." Wang Chong shook his head. To ask why he was unhappy, he had to start with the incident of using the random prop jar just now.

I finally took advantage of the day when someone confessed their love to me to use the jar, maybe I could get something good. But looking at the familiar orange packaging bag in my hand, I was speechless.

"Well... then eat more delicious food at dinner later. After filling your stomach, you will forget all the unhappy things. By the way... there is a question that I have been curious about for a long time. What is this orange package in your hand?" Frost Star asked.

"This, this is called Jin Ke La. Fertilizer mixed with Jin Ke La won't leak or evaporate, resulting in zero waste. One bag is enough to last two." Wang Chong picked up the bag and expertly recited the advertising slogan. That's right, the item Wang Chong had drawn this time was this magical fertilizer-adding artifact: Jin Ke La. No wonder Wang Chong had such a sullen expression the entire time.

"Uh... I don't quite understand. What is this gold... used for?" Frost Star asked puzzledly.

"All you need to know is that this is a kind of fertilizer. Spreading it on the soil can greatly accelerate the growth of crops," Wang Chong explained.

That's right, I drew this item: Jin Ke La Infinite Edition, which can refresh 100 kilograms of Jin Ke La every day. These Jin Ke La can be directly sprinkled on plants, which can greatly shorten the growth cycle of those plants. Even those God-era plants planted in my dimensional home can be quickly catalyzed.

"Is this true? If we add these fertilizers to the crops we grow, won't we be able to eat them soon?" Frost Star's face lit up when he heard this and he spoke.

"No, after using this thing, things will grow fast and rot fast... It not only speeds up the growth cycle, but also speeds up the cycle towards death. Not only is it completely useless, but I don't know what effect it will have on our stomachs if we eat the food that has been accelerated to grow." Wang Chong complained with a dark face.

"Is that so? So that's why... Wang Chong, you've been in a bad mood just now?" Shuang Xing looked at the changes in Wang Chong and understood what was going on.

That's right, this was the real reason why Wang Chong's face was downcast. If this thing could really speed up the growth cycle of crops, it would be a magical tool for farming. Although it would not be of any practical help to them in fighting against the army of 10,000 people now, it would at least be a great advantage in storing food in the future.

But this thing has a very obvious side effect: it accelerates the entire life cycle, from growth to maturity to decline and death! When he temporarily returned to the dimensional home to test a magic vine seed, he and Aozaki Touko, who was watching the experimental results, saw the magic vines quickly prop up, but before they could be happy, they saw them quickly wither and die, finally collapsing on the experimental field.

However, Aozaki Orange said the fertilizer still had experimental and research value, so he borrowed about fifty kilograms to continue his experiments. Wang Chong then left the Dimensional House with the remaining Jin Ke La and ran into Shuang Xing, who had come to find him to prepare ingredients for dinner.

He thought he'd gotten a farming artifact, but it turned out to be a defective one. Wang Chong could only attribute this to his currently extremely dark luck.

"I thought Tallulah might bring some good luck today... Oh, I almost forgot, she's just as unlucky as me." Wang Chong shook his head. His inference was correct. Those who had left the Reunion, even Andre's gangsters, had their fates returned to their original state. Conversely, little Lisa's golden, black-streaked fortune and her mother Honeysuckle's blue good luck had instantly turned pitch black after joining the Reunion.

"The overall fortune of the integration movement has not changed yet, which means that I have not yet succeeded in breaking through. Humph, just wait and see. I want to see how long you can hide without revealing any clues." Wang Chong suppressed his guess and entered the warehouse with Shuangxing.

"Don't worry too much about this. It does take a long time for grain to grow, and it's in accordance with the laws of nature. Even though this Jinkela thing you got failed and couldn't achieve the expected results, it's not useless. You might find it useful elsewhere in the future."

After learning what Wang Chong was upset about, Shuang Xing comforted him while picking out some ingredients. Wang Chong saw Shuang Xing holding some ingredients for the soup and suddenly exclaimed, pointing at the pointed cone-shaped object in Shuang Xing's hand and asking, "Where did you dig that up?"

"I heard they dug it up at the foot of the mountain on the south side of the back. It's warmer there, so these bamboo shoots grew there. They dug up quite a lot, so it's a good opportunity to change everyone's taste." Shuangxing took the bamboo shoots and handed them to Wang Chong to look at.

Wang Chong narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of thought in his eyes. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up as he said, "Okay, having extra food is a good thing. Bamboo shoots are more resilient than I imagined. Perhaps we can plant more."

Wang Chong also stored the Jin Ke La item into his own system space.

……

Dinner time was generally when small groups would eat on their own. Sitting together and enjoying a delicious meal often signified a close relationship within the group. This was true for Wang Chong, Froststar, Talulah, Alina, and the freeloader Ghost Shark; it was also true for Mudstone's engineering team; and the three leaders of the Sarkaz mercenaries.

"What did you say! What nonsense are you talking about!" However, at this moment, the three leaders were not as harmonious as before. W looked shocked and angry, and she grabbed Ines' collar with both hands.

"W. Put your hands down and listen to Inès. And do you want to attract other people's attention?" Hedley said in a deep voice.

After hearing Hedley's words, W finally loosened Inès's collar and sat back on his big rock with his arms folded, not knowing who he was angry with.

"I know you can't believe it. This completely contradicts the information you have obtained. You said that the successor of the Demon King should be in Rhodes Island, but how do you explain that I saw a black crown appear on that man's head with my own eyes?" Inès said in a deep voice.

"Furthermore, if the Black Crown can be faked, could the Demon King's power also be faked? I saw with my own eyes how he manipulated the Originium like a humanoid scourge. He even extracted souls from the Originium and reunited the soul of Alina, thus achieving her resurrection. That's a miracle only the Demon King can create. I can't find any other explanation to prove this phenomenon."

After hearing Inès' words, W's anger turned into deep self-doubt. She muttered, "This shouldn't be the case. This shouldn't be the case. How could Her Highness hand over her power to a man like that? With Her Highness's abilities, she couldn't possibly be unaware of that man's true nature..."

"A new Demon King? No wonder that man set his sights on our Sarkaz Mercenaries from the beginning... That makes sense." As a bystander, Hedley came to a similar conclusion as Talulah and the others, believing that Wang Chong joined the Reunion Movement, helped the infected, and set his sights on the Sarkaz Mercenaries because of his identity as a Demon King.

Even W fell silent after hearing Hedley's conclusion. He grabbed his face with both hands and shook his head uncontrollably, thinking to himself, "Am I really being deceived? Is that guy's evil behavior just a disguise? Why would he do this?"

"Who is he? What is his relationship with His Highness? He seems to know everything about what happened back then, but I am sure I have never seen this man when I was in the Tower of Babel! Ha... No, I have to find a way to verify it. I must find a chance to observe him using that power again." W thought to himself.

"There's only one question now. Whose power does he represent? Is it His Highness... or the Regent?" Hedley said in a deep voice. "Judging from his current behavior and results, he is inheriting His Highness's will... But now that the Demon King's legacy wasn't passed on to the next generation during the Tower of Babel period, the only chance to inherit the Demon King's legacy is after that... and that can only be with the Regent."

"No matter which side he is on, do we have any other choice now? We are already his followers and have accepted his gifts... We can only pray that he treats us as he promised, that's enough." Inès said in a deep voice.

"...You are right. Just wait and see...a new struggle is about to begin, and the answer will be revealed." Hedley nodded and said.

Chapter 107: Ten Thousand Man Legion

Two days passed slowly. Near the original dense forest, a large group arrived and rebuilt a camp that was much larger than the previous one at the location of the original thousand-man camp. A group of people started to make a fire and cook, and took turns

A middle-aged man in heavy armor sat in a tent, silently examining a topographical map displayed on a sand table. Other officers gathered around the sand table, discussing deployments. At this moment, a signalman in the tent, receiving information and deciphering the incoming message, shouted, "Colonel Nicholas! Our scouts have brought back new intelligence."

"Speak." The man in heavy armor raised his head and said immediately.

"According to the scouts' inspection after entering the woods, we found traces of logging. The logging marks are very new and not yet covered with snow. The bandits should be hiding nearby." said the signalman.

"Colonel, the bandits are indeed in this area. Do you want us to send a vanguard to sweep the area first?" a senior officer asked.

"No rush. The forest is narrow. Even a 1000-man vanguard would be severely restricted. Their mobility would be greatly reduced, and some equipment would be impossible to move forward. What we need to do now is have the scouts continue their exploration. Search in the southwest, west, and northwest directions. Prioritize locating the bandits' equipment. The vanguard and logistics forces should coordinate, equipped with felling axes, to clear a wide enough path from the outside to transport the heavy equipment and materials needed to set up the Originium magic array."

The colonel named Nicholas waved his hand, not rushing to march. He ordered the messenger to begin issuing instructions, while the other officers continued to conduct a new round of deductions and deployments based on the instructions.

"Colonel, Colonel Tusis ordered us to wipe out those bandits as quickly as possible. Wouldn't it be too cautious for us to march so slowly?" A senior officer said hesitantly.

"Hmph, that idiot Tusis! Regardless of whether this banditry succeeds or not, he's already lost his position. Not only have incidents repeatedly occurred within his jurisdiction, but he actually dared to take the initiative before his superiors had a clear understanding of the patriot's stance. It would have been fine if he'd succeeded, but now that he's failed, not only has he angered the faction that was trying to appease the patriot, but his superiors are treating him like a pawn."

Colonel Nicholas snorted coldly, then continued, "What's more, I recently intercepted intelligence that that guy is secretly arresting ordinary people on the border to serve as spies for the enemy. He really thinks all the important people in Saint Jun Castle are blind. Do you think he can handle the international diplomatic problems that would arise? If His Majesty knew, I'm afraid he would immediately order him to be torn apart by chariots."

"So he's already dead. If that's the case, why should I rush to defeat this bandit group? Who knows if there are any patriots among them? The most important thing for us to do on this expedition isn't to quickly and effectively eliminate those bandits, but to ascertain the situation and avoid making any mistakes. Do you understand? Making a mistake means sharing the Emperor's wrath with Tusis."

"I understand." The senior officer said repeatedly with cold sweat.

……

On the mountain, Wang Chong opened his eyes. He knew that the Ursus army of 10,000 men had arrived 10 kilometers away. As soon as Wang Chong stepped outside, he saw Tallulah walking towards him.

"Ah Chong, they're here..." Ever since that moment, Tallulah's way of addressing Wang Chong had quietly changed. But this time, she arrived with a very serious expression, naturally seeking out Wang Chong to begin her mobilization.

"I understand. This day has finally arrived. Let's go, Tallulah. Everything will be deployed according to the battle plan we've discussed over the past two days." Wang Chong nodded, and without any extra words, he immediately followed Tallulah to the combat meeting room.

Upon arriving at the conference room, Wang Chong immediately spotted representatives from various combat teams: Froststar and two familiar faces from the Snow Monster Squad, Big Bear and Young; the Patriots and a representative from the Guerrilla Shield; Faust and a representative from the Ghost Squad formed by Wang Chong; the three leaders of the Sarkaz Mercenary Group; Mudrock and a representative from the Engineering Team, and so on...

"According to the information just obtained by the eavesdropping team, the scouts have already discovered traces and are shrinking our position towards the southwest, due west, and northwest. There is a cliff due west, and they can't get up. There is no need to worry, mainly because there are roads leading to our base camp on the mountain in the southwest and northwest directions. There is only one-way mountain road with nine bends in the southwest direction, and the number of people passing through at most does not exceed 100 at a time. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Our crossbowmen and shield guards, a total of 100 people, are more than enough to defend these passes." Tallulah said slowly, pointing to the bottom view on the sand table.

"The northwest is relatively open and will likely become the enemy's main battlefield. Our men will begin a defensive counterattack at the lowest position. Our combat personnel have been temporarily expanded from 900 to 1000 in the past two days. Excluding the 100 men guarding the southwest, there are only 900 men left facing this nearly 10,000-strong force. In other words, if we want to win with 900 men, we must be prepared to fight ten to one."

Wang Chong said slowly, "Each of these 900 men is invaluable, and the loss of even one is a tremendous loss. Therefore, in this battle, your first priority is to annihilate the enemy and preserve yourselves! Don't rush head-on into a fight to the death! We can't afford to sacrifice lives. Therefore, fight while retreating, utilizing our advantageous terrain and familiarity to continuously expand our advantage. Concentrate your firepower on the enemy!"

"Understood!" everyone said in unison.

"Then I will arrange the tasks: first, Faust and the Ghost Squad, plus 10 guerrilla shield guards and 20 heavily armored soldiers, the enemies in the southwest direction will be handed over to you. Be sure to guard the southwest pass and don't let any enemy in. Now go and gather your team." Wang Chong said.

"Understood..." After Faust, the representative of the Ghost Team and others stood up and nodded in response, Faust and the representative of the Ghost Team left the tent first and began to gather their team members.

"Next, Sarkaz Mercenaries, you will be the front line and will be the first to face those enemies. Remember the tactics I have formulated. W, as the leader of the mercenaries, you must control your troops and do not rely on the gifts I have bestowed on you to rashly charge and break up the formation. Also, use your explosives and Originium skills when necessary and destroy as many enemies as possible. Hedley, Inès, you must also fulfill your duties. I hope that the Sarkaz Mercenaries will become the most ferocious teeth of our Reunion Movement! Bite those enemies to the bone! Now go and assemble your troops." Wang Chong said in a deep voice.

"Yes." After the three answered, they immediately left the tent and gathered the Sarkaz.

"Guerrillas, you are the backbone of the force against the nearly 10,000-strong army. The enemy plans to deploy a source stone formation this time. Those war wizards will launch a powerful attack on us. There are also those anti-aircraft guns and heavy firepower equipment. The task of supporting the front line and defending against those heavy firepower attacks will be handed over to you, the shield guards, crossbowmen and melee soldiers. Seize the opportunity and focus on attacking the enemy's war wizards and various long-range units. Mr. Patriot, you will take command of the overall situation in the northwest. Don't act rashly unless it is the most dangerous moment." Wang Chong looked at Patriot and said.

"..." The Patriot didn't respond due to throat problems, but he had already carried out Wang Chong's battle plan with his actions. He tapped the guerrilla representative beside him with his halberd and asked him to start gathering the troops.

"Then the Third Company, the Fourth Company, and the Snow Monster Squad will follow my instructions and move back and forth between the various firepower points, attacking the weak parts of the enemy's formation. It would be best if you can tear the enemy's troops apart and defeat them one by one. The command will be handed over to you, Frost Star." Wang Chong looked at Frost Star and nodded.

"Okay, leave it to me." After Shuangxing said that, he also signaled with his eyes that Daxiong and Yangge should go and gather the people.

"Finally, it's Talulah's turn. You and I will each lead the First Company and the Second Company to hide in the tunnels dug in advance halfway up the mountain. We will wait for the battlefield to enter a white-hot stage and directly attack the enemy's center! Remember, our momentum must be loud! Create the impression that we have thousands of people charging into battle, severely hit the enemy's morale, and make them lose their composure. Let them experience the power of your flames." Wang Chong said.

"Yeah." Tallulah nodded and asked the representative to gather the troops.

"After the combat personnel are arranged, the next thing is the logistics, medical, and engineering teams. You..." Wang Chong assigned the tasks to each group one by one. Everyone took action, gathering personnel, and preparing to fight the first battle that would shake the entire Ursus Empire.

Chapter 108 Mobilization and the Prelude to War

On the platform, 1000 people awaited the final mobilization moment. At that moment, Wang Chong, Talulah, and the others arrived directly in front of everyone. Wang Chong once again stepped into the air, hovering a meter above the platform before stopping, ensuring that every Reunion soldier present could see him.

Not only were there soldiers present, but along the mountain path, many others, newly joined from other nations, were also looking in their direction. They were all subtly panicking about the coming battle, wondering what the Reunion had done to deserve being surrounded and attacked by the Ursus army. What kind of army was this?

"Before the official mobilization, I would like to ask everyone a question. Do you know why we have to fight the Ursus army?" Wang Chong said loudly.

"To fill our stomachs!" "To change the current situation of the infected!" "To survive!"... Many answers were given by the soldiers who had just joined this group. There seemed to be no unified answer. However, after waiting for these people to answer, the vast majority of the Reunion soldiers answered in unison: "For the revolution!!"

"Yes, for the revolution. Revolution is an act of violence by one class to overthrow another. Ordinary people are also a class. They are the weakest, the most numerous, and the most oppressed. In the Ursus Empire, the emperor is the biggest, followed by the nobles, and then the mineral owners and the wealthy upstarts. Compared to them, we and most of the people on this land are weak. We are all oppressed by them! We must give them the best of everything we have!!" Wang Chong said in a deep voice.

"We are different from those high and mighty. They seize wealth from the people and extort profits from them. We are fundamentally different from them. We must serve the people, speak for the people, help the people fight against those who oppress and dominate, and protect the people's wealth. Do you understand?"

"Our revolution isn't for me or any specific individual, nor is it for our Integrated Movement. It's for the people. We'll sacrifice our lives for them, and let them be the masters of their own destiny! And that's what we call a movement! A movement like a blazing fire, a movement that could set the entire ice sheet ablaze! Because we represent the interests of the vast majority of people in the world! Movement for them is also for us, because we, too, are part of the people of the world!"

"You are the master of this land, as am I, as is he. Everyone is the master of this land. And those nobles, those powerful people, the oppressors, those who deprive us of our value because of the Originium! They represent the interests of the sinful system behind them. I call them the Sin Originium Class! And the Emperor, as the representative supported by the Sin Originium Class, is the biggest class beneficiary and is just as hostile to us! Our biggest enemy that we can see openly right now is the Emperor! The second enemy is the Sin Originium Class that supports the Emperor."

"Today, we speak for all the people of this land. In the future, they will remember us in their hearts. This is true today, and it will be true thousands of years from now!"

After Wang Chong finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the recruit who had just said "for his life." He knew who this person was; it was a soldier from the Ursus army whom he had previously captured and brought back. These Ursus soldiers had all undergone a certain degree of ideological transformation, and so they were slowly beginning to understand Wang Chong's words, their eyes gleaming with a light they had never seen before.

"Your name is Ivan Mikhail, right?" Wang Chong said slowly.

"Yes! Yes!" The soldier was shocked. He didn't expect that the other party actually remembered his name.

"You used to be a soldier of the Ursus Empire army, an enemy of the people. But from today on, your identity will completely change! Because you have stood with the people of this land, from your bones, flesh, blood, and even your soul, you have become a different person. In the future, you will be the defender of the people! Fight to safeguard the interests of the people! You will no longer be part of the oppressors and the oppressed, you will completely stand up and be the master of your own destiny! Tell me, Ivan Mikhail, are you willing?!" Wang Chong's words echoed in the soldier's mind like a deafening sound.

"Sir...! I am willing! I must be the guard! Whoever doesn't let me do it, I will fight him to the end! I want to turn the tables and become the master! I will no longer oppress others! I will no longer be oppressed by others!" The soldier said excitedly, and his words were also infecting those surrendered soldiers of the same status as him.

"We want to build a country, a regime where everyone is equal, where we sit together to eat and sing, and where status no longer distinguishes between high and low. A person's dignity is measured by their character. We want to build such a country where every family can live and work in peace and contentment. Join me in swearing an oath. From this day forward, we will be loyal to the people..."

After Wang Chong's words, not only the new recruits, but also the majority of the Reunion Movement present. Even the nearly 1000 people who had been watching the show outside and were still apprehensive about joining the Reunion Movement finally understood why the Reunion Movement was fighting and what their goal was.

For a moment, the ordinary people who had just joined this collective felt relieved. More importantly, this wave of thought had also impacted them all, like a ray of light breaking through the clouds. After all, even in the East Country, Yan Country, or other neighboring countries of Ursus, such a wave of thought, such progressive ideas, had never appeared before. It was like the door to a new world, and they were all immersed in it.

"Congratulations to the host for reaching 89% support. We only need the last 1% to achieve our goal." The system's notification sounded at this time, but Wang Chong was already completely immersed in his speech, inspiring everyone and making their fighting spirit even higher.

"The people will win! We will win!" Finally, Wang Chong uttered the familiar oath as always.

"We must win! We must win! We must win!" The soldiers also shouted loudly with the same excitement. As if they were possessed.

……

In the dense forest, a group of scouts from the southwest cautiously searched for any trace of the "bandits." However, after a long time, they found no trace of the bandits in the dense forest. If it weren't for the traces of human activity along the way, which convinced them that there had been human activity, they would have thought they were heading in the wrong direction.

"Is this direction... the mountain? Could they be hiding in the mountain?" At this moment, they finally reached the end of the dense forest, and in front of them was a mountain road climbing up.

"Report the situation first, and then we will go up. You stay here first, and come up after we understand the situation." A leading scout looked at the situation and hurriedly said to the people behind him.

"Okay." The messenger immediately began to relay the news of the discovery of the mountain road to the headquarters. Afterwards, the scouts began to carefully observe the situation on the mountain while walking up the mountain wall.

"Shhhhh-"

At this moment, three crossbow arrows suddenly attacked. The three scouts in the lead were instantly pierced by the crossbows before they could react. The scout behind them immediately shouted, "It's those bandits! Get into cover!"

Several scouts immediately looked for objects nearby to cover their bodies. In the process, two more people were shot and killed by crossbow arrows. One was shot in the shoulder and let out a shrill scream that made the listeners shudder.

"Quick! Determine the direction of the crossbow arrow! We can't escape if we don't fight back!"

"Where's the communicator? Tell him not to come up! Something's going on here, we need to report everything to headquarters immediately!"

"No! I just looked in that direction and there was no one there! What the hell! Where did the crossbow arrow come from? Is this a trap?"

The remaining three crossbowmen didn't know what to do. One of them steeled himself and said, "I'll draw the fire. You all retreat immediately and make sure you return to report the situation here!"

"There's no need to go through so much trouble." However, at this moment, a young man's voice that they had never heard of before sounded from beside them.

"not good!"

"Shhhhh-"

Each of them was struck by an arrow in the head, and died instantly. In the center of the three of them, the light twisted, and Faust walked out of the twisted light.

"There is still a signalman. Let's delay for a while and kill him when he realizes something is wrong." After thinking for a while, Faust began to walk down the mountain and once again entered the invisible posture.

The prelude to war has begun in the southwest corner, and the same scene is quietly happening in the northwest corner. Ursus scouts with their bodies cut off are everywhere. The communicator is left with only half of his body, but he still pressed the self-destruct button of the communicator, successfully destroying it without leaving any enemy.

"Even though we've dealt with these guys, I'm afraid the enemy has already received the news and the vanguard will be here soon." W walked out and said to Inès who was wiping the blood off her rapier.

"Well, so W, how are your arrangements going?" Inès turned around and asked.

"Hmm, what do you think? Why don't you try it on your own body? I promise that BOOM, you won't feel any pain soon." W said with a chuckle.
