The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

Wang Chong was so excited that he wanted to test the power of this villain template right now. He couldn't help but say to the system, "Hiss—System, can I use their methods to steal other people's Originium skills, and then use the stolen Originium skills to kill the generals? Wouldn't that be in line with using the power system of this world to kill the opponent?"

"Huh...?" The system was once again stunned by Wang Chong's sudden change of mind, then spoke, "Host, this system finds itself increasingly unable to keep up with your thinking. This system believes that the system world is most in need of talents like you. Have you ever considered changing careers?"

"Go away, stop talking about this. Just tell me if it's okay or not," Wang Chong said with a smile.

"It should... be feasible. After all, you did use the Originium technique to kill the enemy, so there is no problem judging by the rules. Even if you use power outside this world system to obtain the power of this world system. The rules only prevent you from using the power of other systems to kill the opponent, but do not prohibit the host from obtaining the power of this world system in any way." The system confirmed after carefully checking the operating logic.

"However, host, are you sure that his method can steal Originium skills?" asked the system.

"Haven't you noticed? The essence of his way stems from the Origin Power's spell induction. At a high level, spell induction can enable one to learn skills related to otherworldly magic." Wang Chong said seriously, "As for Originium skills, although they are essentially skills that utilize technological products like Originium, the official game at least defines these skills as spells and mages. So, there's a possibility for me to learn them."

"And by using the template, you can achieve a short-term full-level state. We'll know if you can steal the Originium skill by trying it." Wang Chong said.

"Okay... but if you're going to become a thief and kill those generals, then what's the point of all your hard work creating a special forces team? In the end, you, a King, are still swimming in the Bronze Division." The system couldn't help but complain, "Sure enough, it's just like they say, there's no such thing as a special forces team, they're all just harem teams."

"At worst, I won't chop off those generals. I'll just help break through the front line." Wang Chong said with a smile.

"Emmm, but that's not worth it. Although you won't break the rules by using Originium skills to kill soldiers, there is no benefit. Only other members of the Integration Movement can get rewards by killing enemies." The system complained.

"Then I'll just be responsible for crippling them, leaving the heads for them to harvest." Wang Chong frowned and said, "Your voice seems a bit sharp. After all this talk, have you finished the side quests?"

"I'm working on it, I'm working on it. Weren't we interrupted by you drawing the villain template?" After the system said this, it fell silent and continued to work on the side quests.

"It just so happens that I'm almost there." During the time he was chatting with the system, Wang Chong successfully led W and Faust across the numerous defense lines and successfully found a location near the main camp.

Chapter 175: Attack on the Camp

"W, Faust, you guys first find a suitable retreat route. Once midnight is over, we can start." Wang Chong said.

"They're planning to raid the camp... They don't want to give these Ursus cubs a good rest." W immediately realized what Wang Chong was planning after hearing his order. She glanced at Faust, who had already begun using his invisibility abilities to sketch the numerous defenses they had just passed through while moving towards other areas. Seeing this, W had no choice but to follow him.

After seeing the two leave, Wang Chong also began to spread his black mist, creating some inconspicuous "accidents" when necessary to help them escape smoothly.

"Huh, I finally found something with a decent payout. Ding—The host triggers the side quest: Second Defensive Counterattack. Command the Reunion Movement's forces to successfully resist the 40,000-man encirclement and victory. The host will receive different evaluations and rewards based on the conditions they meet. The conditions and rewards are as follows:

Condition 1: Win, guaranteed reward: 1000 Villain Points.

Condition 2: Preserve yourself, and the number of casualties must not exceed one-third of the original number. Reward: Two skill upgrade cards.

Condition three: Behead enemy generals. Depending on the number and quality of the generals killed, you will receive different levels of rewards: 1 to 3 epic draws.

Condition 4: Destroy the morale of the Ursus army, causing it to completely collapse and flee. Reward: Aura [Break the Army]. After wearing this aura, the morale of your hostile forces will be reduced to varying degrees.

Condition Five: Completely destroy the enemy. Achieving this condition will double your reputation gains."

Wang Chong's eyes lit up as the system issued another side quest. This time, the quest seemed to have many requirements, but in reality, most of them fell squarely within the scope of Wang Chong's original goal. It could be said that it was completely done with ease.

The final condition, total annihilation of the enemy, not only offered a relatively meager reward, but Wang Chong also had no intention of pursuing it. After all, without his high-powered opponent, the current Reunion Movement was already unrealistic in its ambition to completely annihilate a 40,000-man army. If they truly attempted to escape, his limited numbers wouldn't guarantee they could stop them.

"There are still too few people. Recruiting people through normal means is indeed a time-consuming process. If we could use black fog to directly control them, it wouldn't be so troublesome." Wang Chong looked at the requirements of condition five and couldn't help but sigh.

Due to the mission's sub-goal requirements, I'd have to take my time if I wanted to earn the triple reward. Fortunately, the beginning is always difficult. Once I succeed, future integration movements, even without my leadership, will be able to overcome all obstacles and generate continuous benefits. It's a case of hardship before sweetness.

"It's a pity, but host, there is a long way to go. Once your plan is followed and the Integration Movement succeeds with its own internal strength and united will, it will become a truly suitable sickle for the host, constantly harvesting the leeks of this world." said the system.

"Okay, I have all this in mind. I've also noted down the mission. Regardless of condition five, I've already decided on the rewards for the other conditions. I'll just have to be prepared for the rewards when the time comes." Wang Chong crossed his arms, looking very confident.

……

Late at night, the only sound in the Ursus camp was the patrol squad's patrolling. Except for the patrol personnel, everyone else was immersed in sleep, even General Ulrich, who needed enough sleep to be prepared for the battle with the enemy tomorrow.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

However, at this moment in the dead of night, violent explosions suddenly rang out, and the patrolling soldiers shouted in panic: "Something's happening! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

For a moment, all the Ursus soldiers in the camp were awakened by the series of explosions and the screams of their companions. They immediately put on their armor, ran out of the tents like rabbits, and gathered together.

"Enemy! Where are the enemies!"

"Go find the defensive line from which the explosives were launched! Teams 1 to 5, assist the patrol on the east wall! Who is the patrol leader? Report the current situation! How many enemies are there? Where is the attack coming from?"

Orders were relayed one after another. It seemed that despite the late-night attack, these experienced Ursus soldiers, though a little flustered at first, quickly responded to the orders from their commanders and began to provide support in an orderly manner, trying to understand the situation.

"What's going on now? Are the Patriots charging?!" At this moment, Ulrich also left his tent with a heavy face. He had never expected to be attacked tonight. Could it be that the defenses set up in the forest were breached so quickly? The camp was already under attack before they even received the news. Ulrich couldn't think of anyone else in the world who could pull off such a feat, except for the Ursus legend.

"Knowing that we can't win the battle, are we planning to take advantage of our unstable position tonight and throw everything we have at stake to try and win?" Thinking of this, Ulrich felt a tremendous pressure pressing directly on his chest, as if his life had been locked by a huge monster.

"No... it wasn't the patriots. Instead, the explosion was caused by some explosives thrown into the military camp. The patrolmen have confirmed through the observed parabola that it must have been shot by crossbowmen outside the camp." said a soldier who came to report.

"Crossbowman?" Ulrich frowned. It was generally impossible to bring a crossbowman with you when charging into battle. Wouldn't that be a waste of resources?

"In addition to encountering explosives, we were also shot by crossbows. Even the heavy guards holding shields were pierced by one shot. Judging by the power and the purple light, the opponent is most likely the captain of the group of crossbow bandits recorded in the previous materials on the southwest battlefield." The soldier continued to answer.

"It means there are two crossbowmen, one specializes in throwing explosives, and the other is the one in the southwest corner who can become invisible and shoot powerful arrows...invisible?" Suddenly, Ulrich's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Open the gate immediately and send the soldiers to chase them out! Tell the messenger to have the soldiers in the forest search! We must capture those two thieves!"

"What's the matter, sir? Didn't you say you were a patriot..." The soldier was about to ask for the reason, but was scolded by Ulrich's cold voice: "Follow the order immediately! If you delay and let the enemy escape, you will be punished by military law!"

"Yes... yes! Sir!" The soldier did not dare to ask any more questions. He quickly crawled to the communication department and gave orders.

"Damn it! I hope we can still catch these two thieves in time!" Ulrich spat, then walked towards the command camp.

Looking back at what happened not long ago, after Wang Chong had waited for about an hour, W and Faust finally returned, bringing with them a map of the defense layout and finding a suitable retreat route.

"Alright, now that we're ready, let's make a big noise," Wang Chong said with a smile. "Faust, first find a suitable sniper spot and take up position. Then, W, you keep launching explosives into the camp. It doesn't matter where, as long as there are patrols. The louder the noise, the better!"

"So, boss, what are we planning to do? Just kill a few people and scare them?" W asked, a little confused. Apparently, she believed her explosion wouldn't destroy either the enemy's armory or their food storage area. Besides catching them off guard, such a haphazard move wouldn't have any significant effect. It would also likely alert the enemy, making it harder to destroy their food and armory in the future.

"I understand. Teacher, do you still need me to shoot many arrows and pretend to be launching a large-scale attack?" Faust asked with his eyes lighting up.

This question made W beside him a little confused. What's going on? Is there something I don't know?

"Haha, W, judging from your appearance, you haven't read the three books I copied for your Sarkaz Mercenary Group yet, right?" Wang Chong chuckled and asked.

"That book was taken by Hedley first. After reading it, he never returned it. Instead, he led us to practice some new tactics all day long, as if he was possessed. Although there is indeed something in that new combat method and troop formation... What's the matter? Could it be that Hedley's strange phenomena and what you just said are related to these books?" W asked doubtfully.

"That's not surprising. In short, just do as I ask, and you'll see results soon. As for Faust, you don't need to do these things. Just use your signature skill to shoot through the opponent. Yes, it must be your most conspicuous move. After shooting, we can start running." Wang Chong said with a smile.

Chapter 176: Run!

Under Wang Chong's command, the explosion scene just occurred. Shortly thereafter, the camp gates opened, and many elite Imperial vanguards sprinted out. Under the command of their respective team leaders, they continued to search in different directions.

Wang Chong, who had been using the black fog to monitor the camp while running with W and Faust, couldn't help but remark, "This General Ulrich is much quicker than I expected. He figured out so quickly that the attackers weren't many."

"Did you deliberately expose our identities? Your goal is to lure the snake out of its hole?" Although W was unable to guess Wang Chong's true intention at this moment, he roughly understood why Wang Chong had just specifically asked Faust to use his signature skill.

"One is a famous demolition expert from the Sarkaz mercenary group, who wiped out an entire artillery team in one go. The other is the crossbow captain in the southwest corner who wiped out 1000 people with a small number of people. Do you think the Ursus army will react and send out troops to search for him with all their strength?" Wang Chong said with a smile.

"But this... is useless. Even if they want to catch us, they won't send out all their forces." W said.

"We don't need them to go all out. As long as they're willing to pursue us and are pinned down by us, they'll have already fallen into our trap," Wang Chong said with a smile. "Of course, if they specifically limit the number of people pursuing us... that would be even more effective."

"Fell into a trap? Fallen into what...!!" W was about to continue asking, but suddenly Wang Chong drew his sword and chopped it off W's head. W was startled at first, but soon realized what was going on and immediately rushed forward.

"when!"

Wang Chong saw a sharp arrow behind W's head and cut it off with his sword.

"Instead of asking me to explain, it's better to focus on escaping. They are about to catch up." Wang Chong said lightly, putting the sword back into the black mist, then holding the collars of Faust and W with both hands, and began to walk with the two of them at a faster speed.

A running battle of chasing each other begins.

……

"Okay, it's enough for these people to go out. Most of the remaining people will continue to stay in the camp to prevent others from attacking the camp!" At this time, Ulrich gave an order and only allowed about one-fifth of the people in the entire base to go out to chase the fleeing enemy.

"General, what is going on now?" Other commanders who were awakened by the commotion came to the command camp and inquired about the current situation.

"At first I thought the patriots were going to make a desperate move and launch a surprise attack tonight while our army was still struggling to gain a foothold. But after hearing the soldiers' reports, I realized something was wrong," Ulrich explained slowly.

"If the Patriots had attacked the camp, the forest defenses would have collapsed, and our army would have first heard the sound of them storming the camp gate. However, the reports we received showed no movement at all from the defenses, and the source of the commotion was the explosives thrown by the crossbowmen and the powerful attack from the purple-maned crossbows. Furthermore, the individuals throwing the explosives and conducting the powerful attack were not the same crossbowmen. Therefore, I immediately concluded that the attackers were not the Patriots, but these two crossbowmen!"

"These two combat styles perfectly correspond to the data collected during the first encirclement and suppression campaign launched by Nicholas. One involved using explosives resembling Originium techniques to deceive our engineers, resulting in the annihilation of our artillery unit. The other involved the captain of the invisible crossbow squad that completely wiped out our thousand-man force on the southwest battlefield."

"And that captain possesses an Originium technique that allows him to become invisible. It was precisely this Originium technique that caused us to suffer heavy losses several times on the southwest battlefield. In fact, this time, our troops have specially stationed mages specialized in countering this Originium technique. Similarly, only this technique can penetrate our defenses undetected and launch a surprise attack on us."

"I suspect they will flee immediately after launching this raid, so I gave the order to chase them out immediately," Ulrich said in a deep voice.

After hearing Ulrich's explanation, the commanders finally realized what was going on. One of them asked in confusion, "But what's the point? What can just two people do to us? These explosions, aside from killing a few patrolling soldiers, will hardly cause any damage to us as a whole."

"That's why I only sent out one-fifth of the soldiers and left the main force to guard the camp." Ulrich said lightly.

"General, what you mean is... the other party might be trying to lure the snake out of its hole?" a commander said.

"Such obvious features, and then combined with the information in the file. I give you some time, and I'm afraid you will soon deduce my conclusion. And once you deduce the other party's correct identity, you may be rushing out to search for him. After all, those are two top-quality heads. Whoever gets them will have a great achievement and will boost the morale of the army." Ulrich said coldly.

"Also, because this time the attackers weren't patriots, but others, they subconsciously assumed there wouldn't be anyone else attacking the camp tonight, especially patriots. Once they think that way, they've completely fallen into the trap of luring the enemy out of their hole."

"Just imagine, if we're eager for quick success and want a quick victory to report to His Majesty, and the entire army is mobilized... no, not even the entire army, but even just about a third of the troops, just to hunt down these two. Then, I want to ask you, if the Patriots launch an attack at this time, with only two-thirds of our troops, do we still have the confidence to completely suppress their surprise attack on my command camp?"

After hearing Ulrich's analysis, the commanders finally realized what was going on and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"So, this is why the other side is doing this seemingly useless effort... They are just throwing out bait, just to increase the possibility of the Patriots raiding the camp and seizing the opportunity to win?" The commander asked involuntarily.

"What else could explain their motive for such a futile effort?" Ulrich asked. "This plan's only flaw lies right here. Once you see through it, it's easy to counter. But the difficulty lies in its manipulation of human nature. If a general is impatient, eager for quick success, or even a bit headstrong, they'll subconsciously overlook this fatal flaw. Take, for example, the declared commander this time—Oleg, the commander of the 3rd Division. How do you think you'll act?"

Oleg, the commander of the 3rd Division mentioned by Ulrich, was sweating profusely at this moment. There was no doubt that this plan was aimed at him. If he had been careless and sent too many people to hunt them down, he would have been killed in a huge pile of people.

"It seems that this group of bandits called Reunion Movement is not only very calculating, but they can also receive some inside information in these mountains. Even if we announce it to the outside world, it is not information that ordinary people can find out. Humph, the people above are still the same as always..." Ulrich snorted coldly and did not continue.

"Then General, what should we do now...?"

"Keep our troops in place. If he finds out the number of troops chasing us, he will most likely not launch the attack tonight. Of course, if he still wants to attack, we must be prepared! At least until our people come back, we must be on high alert." Ulrich said in a deep voice.

Chapter 177: The Enemy Is Disturbing Us

The forest was now in complete chaos. The Ursus Empire's elite vanguard and crossbowmen were constantly chasing the three people ahead. Meanwhile, in other directions, Ursus soldiers stationed on other lines of defense were constantly rushing towards the three people they were pursuing, attempting to surround them.

Unfortunately, the crossbowmen's arrows were either cut down by swords or dodged. On the contrary, many of their men were killed instantly by a single purple-shine crossbow bolt. Whenever they tried to catch up, they were either struck by explosions, suddenly collapsed trees, or tripped by something like a root.

In short, after chasing for about half an hour, not only did they fail to arrest the other party, but they also allowed the three people to cross the defense line and were about to enter the mountains.

"Quick! Surround them! We can't let these three guys get away! Also, the magician's tracking spell must continue to mark them! We can't let them become invisible and escape from under our noses again."

"The fourth line of defense is blocking them. They are running towards the northwest! We must block their way forward."

"Boom boom boom!"

Some commanders on the battlefield communicated with each other, trying their best to capture the three attacking battalions, but the results were always counterproductive. In this dense forest environment, the slightest mistake could lead to W's Originium skills. Either they would be blown to pieces or they would be blown to pieces.

"Hahahaha, this is thrilling—did you see that idiot's face of despair after he stepped on the explosives? So stupid... he really thought my head was so easy to take." Amidst the roar of the explosion and the smell of blood, W seemed to gradually regain her true self. While laughing heartily, she began to carefully consider how to place the bombs in the right direction to maximize the chance of stopping those chasing her.

"Huh... Just a few hundred meters... Huh... We'll be out of the forest. But that's when it's... the most dangerous." Faust was a little breathless. After all, the child's body had suffered a little. Driven by Wang Chong to run at such a fast speed, he had consumed too much physical strength.

"Sasha, lie on my back and concentrate on sniping the person behind you." Seeing that Faust was exhausted, Wang Chong directly picked up Faust and threw him on his back, then began to run faster with Faust on his back.

"Damn it! Give me a hand!" W cursed internally as she saw the two men leaving her behind and rushing so quickly. Then, a sudden flash of inspiration struck her. She used her Originium skills to gather the energy beneath her feet, controlling the force. With a resounding bang, W flew up. Her direction was a bit off, and she almost hit a tree trunk. Fortunately, thanks to her strong physique and quick reflexes, she used the tree trunk to leverage the momentum and surge forward.

"Ah, ah, ah! Hiss! I lost control of the force and direction." W felt a burning pain in his feet. He feared the soles of his shoes had been blown to ash. If his body hadn't been strengthened, the explosion would have also shattered his feet into a bloody mess.

But at this moment, W suddenly felt something wrapped around the soles of his feet, and discovered that Wang Chong had used the power of black mist to wrap around them to form a new insole.

"You're so lucky to have thought of using the impact of the explosion to escape. I guess I'll have to buy you a pair of sturdier boots next time. I can't let your crooked idea go to waste." Wang Chong's voice came from the front.

"What do you care! You forced me to do this!" W cursed in his heart, but fortunately, with the power of black fog as a protective layer, he didn't have to endure the pain in his feet caused by the explosion.

As the three of them sped up, they actually managed to cross the defensive line before the defenders in front of them could close in. Even if two fast runners occasionally appeared on the road and blocked their way, they were all killed by Wang Chong with a single strike of his sword.

Before long, they successfully broke through the distance of several hundred meters and finally reached an open area, leaving the dense forest. However, without the cover of darkness and dense forest, they became the most obvious living targets in the eyes of the Ursus soldiers.

"They are trying to escape back! Don't hold back! Crossbowmen, shoot arrows! Magicians, use spells to attack! We must annihilate the enemy before they get back!" The commander who was at the front saw that the duck he had caught was about to fly away, so he decided to strike once and for all. He directly ordered the magicians and crossbowmen who were chasing him to aim at the three people running on the open snowfield and launch long-range attacks.

But at this moment, a dazzling light suddenly shone from the field. For these magicians and crossbowmen who were accustomed to the dark environment, this glaring light made their eyes sting and dizzy. They could not see the opponent at all.

"We really need to prepare more flash grenades. They are very useful for ordinary soldiers who have no protection." As for Wang Chong and the other two who were in the center of the flash, they didn't have to worry about the glare because they were protected by Wang Chong's black fog. They ran up the hillside easily.

"Keep releasing crossbows and spells! Even if we can't aim at their target, we must eliminate them with indiscriminate bombardment!" The commander covered his eyes and shouted angrily with gritted teeth.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Swish, swish, swish!" But at this moment, the overwhelming sound of arrow rain and bombardment came, but it was not fired by the Ursus side. On the contrary, their dense forest was within the range of the explosion and arrows.

"Oh no! It's an enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Damn it! They took advantage of our blindness and attacked us! Don't panic! Shield guards at the front of the defense line, step up! Magicians, chant barrier spells to resist the artillery fire and crossbow arrows!"

Although the commander couldn't see, he was experienced and calmly issued orders. However, the surrounding Ursus troops were in disarray, and quickly reorganizing their formation was not an easy task.

"W, Mr. Wang Chong, are you all right? I brought people here as soon as I saw the signal."

Elsewhere, Hedley, in charge of commanding the Sarkaz mercenaries guarding the front lines, appeared on the battlefield, meeting Wang Chong, W, and Faust as they ran back. The artillery fire and crossbow bolts had been fired by the Sarkaz mercenaries.

"How come I don't know what signal the Sarkaz Mercenaries have agreed upon with the Boss... Hedley, you're hiding it from me too?" W said with a serious expression.

"I thought Mr. Wang Chong had already told you about this matter... Mr. Wang Chong, what should we do next? Should we go to war directly with the Ursus army?" Hedley asked.

"No, let's just withdraw to our defense line and keep a close eye on the situation on the opposite side. If they really want to fight at night, they will be the ones who suffer." Wang Chong said.

"Is that it? We're just going to have some fun?" Although W felt that the previous chase did bring him some interest, overall he felt that he and Faust just followed Wang Chong out to have some fun.
