A Villain's Journey Begins in the Type-Moon World

"What are you doing? Doing..." Ghost Shark was confused at first, but suddenly her dull nose finally caught a faint smell—the smell of blood. She smelled someone else's blood in her mouth, and based on the smell, she clearly found the strongest smell in the palm of Wang Chong's hand. So she said, "Are you...feeding me blood?"

"This isn't feeding you blood, it's feeding you medicine," Wang Chong said slowly. "I am your doctor. From today onwards, I will be the one treating you. You must follow my instructions in everything you do, understand?"

"Treatment?" Ghost Shark was puzzled at first, but she eventually nodded. For some reason, she felt an inexplicable trust in the man in front of her, and she asked, "Then can I drink... that medicine every day?"

"Yes. What? You like it?" Wang Chong opened his palm and stretched it out in front of Ghost Shark. After Ghost Shark smelled the fragrant blood and inhaled it, his body seemed to be bewitched, and his eyes were full of desire for the blood in Wang Chong's palm.

Seeing this, Wang Chong realized he had a way to make this easily mentally unstable shark obedient, so he said, "Eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost shark cupped Wang Chong's hands in its palms, licking away the remaining blood with its tongue in a very affectionate manner. It was just like a well-behaved puppy, licking so much that Wang Chong felt an itch in his palms.

Even after licking the blood off his palms, the Specter Shark still couldn't resist sucking on the lingering blood on Wang Chong's fingers. If one didn't know that the Specter Shark was feeding, one would have thought that the other had long been trained into their private, exclusive possession.

Chapter Sixty-Four: The Sweet Blood and Soul Extraction Technique

Wang Chong watched as Ghost Shark licked the blood from his hands with an expression of ecstasy, leaving no trace between her fingers. Her almost maniacal gluttony and actions gave Wang Chong the feeling of being ravaged by some ravenous beast. Wang Chong let her suck and lick his fingers and palms, even letting her tongue slip between his fingers and swirl around.

Once the ghost shark was completely satisfied, having swallowed all the sweet, bloody flavor, it reluctantly licked Wang Chong's thumb before spitting it out. Wang Chong's palm was practically covered in the ghost shark's scent.

"It seems you really like it," Wang Chong said.

"Hehe... Blood, delicious, I like it. Wang Chong, delicious, I like it." Ghost Shark's mind was acting strangely at this moment, and the words he spoke were like those of a child.

"I'm a doctor, not something to eat." Wang Chong's expression hardened. If Ghost Shark mistook him for something to eat, wouldn't that guy bite him every few days?

"No... delicious? Blood, delicious, I like it. Wang Chong, I like it." After hearing Wang Chong's words, Ghost Shark was stunned for a moment, and then, as if taking Wang Chong's words seriously, it directly removed the "delicious" part.

Wang Chong wasn't sure what state Ghost Shark was in at the moment, but fortunately, Ghost Shark seemed to be very obedient to Wang Chong's words no matter what mental state it was in. No matter what Wang Chong said, Ghost Shark would do it. In fact, if Wang Chong didn't speak, Ghost Shark would just stand there quietly and do nothing.

"Was it because Laurentina specifically asked for his name before she fainted? But in that case, Specter's mental instability becomes much more controllable. At least bringing him back won't cause too much trouble for the Reunion Movement."

After thinking this through, Wang Chong instructed Ghost Shark to go to sleep obediently, and that he would feed her a new round of blood when she woke up the next morning. Although Ghost Shark still craved the taste of blood, she actually obeyed Wang Chong's words, lay back down on the bed, and fell asleep peacefully.

Seeing this, Wang Chong knew he had completely subdued the shark he had picked up. He thought to himself, "Now I've officially acquired a deep-sea hunter. My next target should be Skadi. However, Skadi hasn't been found on the Ursus land yet. I'll wait until the black mist spreads further, then I'll take Ghost Shark and bring her over."

With Wang Chong's current strength, he could traverse the entire continent of Terra in a single day. In particular, he can now set up teleportation points wherever he goes, allowing him to come and go as he pleases.

"I should check out the things I just acquired. System, please check the title effects for me," Wang Chong said.

"Yes, new title [Emerging Talent]: Your power has begun to gradually establish itself on this land. Many people are starting to talk about you. Your organization has matured and is now fully capable of participating in the struggle for supremacy and stirring up the winds of change. It is important to note that you can no longer remain dormant as before; pressure is imminent. However, facing the impending crises, you must break through the enemy's attempts to crush you with unstoppable momentum and truly stand tall on this land."

Effects: You will automatically gain 10 reputation points daily, and an additional 100 reputation points will be awarded for each completed quest that rewards reputation. Collective morale increases by 15% when facing enemies, and increases by another 15% when outnumbered. Combat strength increases by 10%. Your influence can no longer be hidden, and the favorability rating of people in the surrounding area of ​​your base will dynamically change: those who approve will gain +10 favorability, while those who resist will lose -10 favorability.

"It seems that this title is mainly for building reputation so as to break through to the next level, and secondly, it gives the army the ability to fight against the odds. However, this power can no longer be hidden, which is more of a disadvantage than an advantage for the current Reunification Movement. In that case, I need to think about it carefully."

Wang Chong wasn't in a hurry to change his title, since he didn't have a great need for reputation points right now. Even if he converted those reputation points into villain points, he'd only get a paltry 570. He could change the title later when he clashed with the first wave of Ursus troops.

"System, help me extract this technology from the pre-civilization," Wang Chong said.

"Okay, host, extraction in progress... Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully extracted a special technology: Originium Information Extraction Technology (Soul)."

"Originium Information Extraction Technology (Soul): Death is never the end for the beings of Terra. Everything that happens in this world is engraved in Originium and absorbed by it. Stories, history, even a person's life and soul will eventually return to Originium."

This technology allows the use of special syllables to gain access and manipulate Originium, enabling the extraction and reshaping of long-dead souls. Once placed in a suitable container, resurrection in the traditional sense can be achieved.

"Ding—You have come into contact with one fragment of the truth of Originium."

Then, a message entered Wang Chong's mind. Wang Chong closed his eyes and absorbed the information. When he opened his eyes again, a dangerous aura was revealed in his eyes.

"Indeed, that mysterious hand was probably not just my imagination. If there is anything that can drive the development of everything in Terra, then there is only one thing that can do it: Originium. In other words, whoever completely controls Originium can control all of Terra. These races and civilizations that arose because of Originium, their blood and flesh have already been marked by Originium, buried deep in their genes and souls. Heh, what a grand scheme. The guy who created Originium, and that so-called pre-civilization, have certainly piqued my interest quite a bit."

From this technologically advanced information, Wang Chong has learned the truth about the soul. Now, in Wang Chong's eyes, the beings of Terra will no longer have the concept of death.

"But... it's like a pillow being delivered just when I was dozing off. If I remember correctly, Frostnova told me before that she was going to pay her respects to Alina. I was just thinking about where to find the soul of the dead, and now she's showing me how to do it," Wang Chong thought to himself.

……

The night passed quickly and uneventfully. When morning arrived again, Froststar, as usual, heated up the leftover soup from the previous night for breakfast. Then, as usual, she knocked on Wang Chong's door and called him to come eat. After all, without Wang Chong's black mist, she couldn't eat such hot food.

"Are you awake, Wang Chong?" Shuangxing asked, knocking on the door.

"Alright, someone's here. Stop licking me here—ouch, I told you not to bite with your teeth." But what came from inside the door were some bizarre words, causing Ines, leaning against the wall, to blush and spit out a soft "Pah!" She knew it; her lewd boss had been alone in a room with that woman last night, probably doing something wicked.

However, Shuangxing was, after all, just a young woman, and she didn't understand such things. She simply continued, "Wang Chong, since you're awake, I'll come in." With that, she opened the door and entered.

Chapter Sixty-Five: A Young Girl's Love Kiss

What are you doing?

As soon as Froststar opened the door, she saw a strange scene and frowned, asking a question. Inside the room, Wang Chong's hand was being bitten by a Specter. Froststar could immediately see Wang Chong's bloody hand and the Specter's mouth full of blood, and the room was filled with a strong smell of blood, making it look as if the Specter was feeding.

Frostnova's first reaction upon seeing the scene was inexplicable anger; naturally, she didn't want to see her beloved injured. But she quickly recalled how Wang Chong had blocked a chainsaw with his fingers the previous night, and how he had withstood Talulah's sword blade on the neck without even breaking the skin. Surely, the other party's teeth weren't so sharp that they could actually bite through her skin?

However, despite her thoughts, Frostnova still said in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "Let go of my mouth!"

"It's alright, I'm the one feeding her blood." Seeing the door broken down, Wang Chong didn't care. Given Froststar's level of affection, she should know about this by now. Besides, she also needs his blood to cure her Oripathy.

"Feeding her blood? Could it be that she's gone mad because she hasn't been drinking blood?" Frostnova thought this because she had heard Patriot tell stories about the Sarkaz Blood Demons while putting her to sleep. According to some legends, if those Blood Demons couldn't drink human blood, they would often become unable to control their thirst for blood and become aggressive.

“You guessed right, but judging from your expression, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood. I’ve said before that she’s been acting crazy because of Oripathy. Feeding her blood is to cure her Oripathy,” Wang Chong said.

"Oh...I see...Wait? What did you just say? Heal what?" Froststar initially gave a dismissive "oh," but suddenly sensed something was wrong, her eyes widened, and she said.

“You heard me right, it’s about curing Oripathy,” Wang Chong said.

"What did you say! You really...you really can cure Oripathy!" Frostnova, abandoning all pretense of decorum, pounced on Wang Chong as if to confirm he wasn't joking. However, Frostnova's pounce didn't disturb Specter, who was still intently licking his blood.

"It's just curing Oripathy, is it really that big of a deal?" Wang Chong shook his head and said.

"What are you talking about? That's a cure for Oripathy. Everyone knows Oripathy is incurable. Aside from slowing the infection's progression, there's no other way to reverse it and cure it. If infected people could be cured, how could this happen... Ines, check if anyone else is around! Then come in!" Suddenly, Frostnova seemed to realize something. One second she looked shocked by the news, the next she became cold and aloof, calling out to the person outside the door.

Ines, looking troubled, walked inside. Frostnova then used Originium Arts to freeze the doors and windows shut. After doing this, Frostnova let out a breath and looked at Wang Chong, saying, "Don't reveal that your blood can cure infected people so easily anymore. Do you know how many people will be watching you if you do?"

Feeling Froststar's concern, Wang Chong revealed a confident smile and said, "It's precisely because everyone here is trustworthy that I exposed this matter. Besides... even if the whole world knew about it, what could they do to me?"

“While you are indeed the strongest person I’ve ever met… I understand the saying that there are always people stronger than you, and mountains beyond mountains. Especially since you possess something that all the Infected, especially the Sarkaz, dream of. They would love to imprison you and use your flesh and blood as a holy medicine to heal them.” Frostnova’s eyes were filled with worry as she said, “Promise me you won’t reveal this matter, okay?”

"What about the Reunion Movement members? What about Talulah? Are you asking me to keep these people a secret too? Don't you want me to cure the Reunion Movement infected with Oripathy?" Wang Chong said with a smile.

“Ha… I must admit, I did have those thoughts when I heard the news. But Wang Chong, I know better than anyone that a person will die from excessive blood loss. One person's blood is just a drop in the ocean for the entire Reunion Movement; it's far from enough. That's why this breach cannot be broken. Even among the members of Reunion Movement, the less they know about this news, the better. At least it must be someone everyone can trust.” Froststar said slowly.

“Talulah, and my father. Although I would prefer that they have access to this information, and I would even prefer that you, Wang Chong, can help me heal my father, I must respect your choices and your life in equal measure.”

“I understand what you mean, Yelena…you really are a good girl.” Wang Chong smiled and patted Froststar’s head with his left hand, then placed his hand in front of Froststar and turned it over, revealing a bright red candy in his palm.

"Do you remember this candy?" Wang Chong asked.

"I know, isn't this what you make me eat every day? You said it's to get revenge for the spicy candy I gave you before, and that I have to eat every piece of candy you give me every day from now on." As she said this, Shuangxing couldn't help but blush slightly, thinking back to when there was still some distance between her and Wang Chong. Back then, she could still tease him in this kind of prank. She never thought that her relationship with him would become so ambiguous now.

“This candy contains my blood. Every single one you eat contains my blood,” Wang Chong said slowly, pointing to the candy.

"Huh?" Frostnova paused, as if realizing something, and said involuntarily, "Could it be that I..."

"Yes, you actually took my blood too. In fact, you were the first infected person to successfully reverse the infection. It was through experiments on you that I became certain that some of my methods could cure infected people," Wang Chong said with a smile.

"So, I feel my body starting to feel lighter, and it's not as cold as it used to be. Are those just my imaginations? Is my body... really starting to heal?" Froststar said in disbelief.

“Well, you should have known about this a long time ago. I believe it won’t be long before the Originium crystals on the surface of your body start to fall off.” After Wang Chong finished speaking, he paused and continued, “As for you, just don’t mind me doing this to you secretly.”

"No, how could I possibly mind... I..." Froststar's emotions stirred once more. Gratitude, kindness, and joy all mingled together, overwhelming her heart, causing her to involuntarily lean down and touch her slightly pale lips to Wang Chong's cheek. The girl's love was unleashed in that moment, surprising everyone present with Froststar's bold act once again.

"...Thank...thank you...and...I'm...sorry..."

When Frostnova realized what she was doing, she jumped back in surprise, her face slightly flushed, and for the first time, she stammered. Even though she had done many bold things before, after doing this, she couldn't help but lower her head, not daring to look at her beloved. She was also worried that her rash kiss might displease him.

"Yelena, there's no need to be afraid. Come here." Seeing Froststar's embarrassed appearance, Wang Chong simply smiled and beckoned her closer. Froststar breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Wang Chong didn't blame her for her "rudeness" and came to stand in front of him again.

"This is a return gift for lovely Yelena." However, as soon as Frostnova approached Wang Chong, she felt a light peck on her cheek. Only then did Frostnova realize that Wang Chong's so-called return gift was actually…

Frostnova's face flushed even redder, but her smile was one of undeniable sweetness and joy. Given this display of affection, how did the other two bystanders react?

Ghost Shark didn't even look; she was still intently licking the blood, as if Wang Chong's blood hadn't been completely drained. As for Ines, her jaw was practically dropping in shock.

Ines: What's going on?! He's not like this with me at all! He's a ruthless bastard! When did he become so innocent and gentle? The other day, when you weren't around, he pinned me against a tree and drove me into a stake! This is outrageous! This is inhuman!

Ines couldn't understand how there could be such a big difference between two girls. What had she done to offend this guy? But Ines didn't dare say anything; her psychological trauma was still there, so she could only look at Wang Chong with a slightly resentful gaze.

I also want to be treated gently...

Ines couldn't help but think to herself.

Chapter Sixty-Six: The Black Serpent Reappears

[Current target of the Eye of Depravity: Frostnova (Yelena), Affection: 90 points, Depravity Value: 10%]

[Current target of the Eye of Depravity: Specter (Lauren Tina), Affection: 60 points, Depravity Value: 10%]

[Current target of the Eye of Depravity: Ines, Affection level 40, Depravity value: 70%]

At this moment, Wang Chong, Frostnova, Specter, and Ines were flying in a certain direction, seemingly lost in thought about what had happened that morning. Specter was much quieter now, only occasionally peeking out from the platform to look at the room below, apparently curious about the view. It would be good if Specter didn't suddenly jump off the platform.

Fortunately, Wang Chong made a black mist rope and tied it around Ghost Shark's waist. Whenever Ghost Shark jumped out, he could pull her back. Each time he pulled her back and asked her why, her answers were always varied and wildly imaginative. For a moment, Wang Chong didn't know what to say to Ghost Shark. Thankfully, so far, since realizing she couldn't get down because of the rope around her waist, Ghost Shark hasn't been jumping as frequently as before.

However, what surprised Wang Chong the most was Ines. He couldn't understand how Ines had suddenly gained 40 points of favorability. Previously, Ines's favorability towards him had always been 0; even after their encounter the day before yesterday, her infatuation level had only increased from 65% to 70%. Could it be that after learning his blood could cure the infected and heal the Sarkaz, she inexplicably developed feelings for him?

Wang Chong didn't think too much about it. After all, he didn't care much about Ines's favorability. For female characters with romantic partners in the original work, Wang Chong always only cared about the "falling infatuation" value, not the favorability value. The only thing that made Wang Chong a little bored was that, so far, apart from the first time he won Ines over, he hadn't received any villain points from her, nor had he triggered any side quests. He could only try to see if he could get any changes when he pushed Ines to 100%.

"System, upgrade the levels of my three skills—base construction, prop making, and hero shaping—from C to A." Taking advantage of the ample time, Wang Chong decided to use up some of his villain points.

"Ding—You have spent a total of 4500 points to upgrade three skills to A-level. Your current remaining villain points are 5700." The system notification appeared.

"These items really don't last long at all. I still have two skill upgrade opportunities, a random item jar, and a villain template left to use. I also have five epic draws left." Looking at these items, Wang Chong didn't feel any desire to use them immediately.

"This is about it." Just as Wang Chong was checking his things, he immediately heard Froststar's voice. Wang Chong saw a relatively dense forest ahead, so he made the black mist fall to the ground.

After landing on the snow, Frostnova began searching for the location of the wooden marker, picking wildflowers along the way. Wang Chong instructed Specter to follow closely behind him, then led her to search for Alina's location with Frostnova. As for Ines, she continued her usual work, scouting the surrounding area to see if any suspicious enemies were around.

Soon, Wang Chong came to a relatively open flat area, where he could still vaguely see traces of past habitation: some snow-covered campfires and stone benches used as seating. It was clear that the Reunion Movement had been stationed here for a considerable period of time.

Talulah must be reluctant to leave her friend, which is why she lingered for so long. Wang Chong couldn't help but think this. Wang Chong told Specter to rest and wait there, while he followed Frostnova to the burial ground. Soon, Frostnova led Wang Chong to a place with a pile of wooden markers and small snowdrifts.

"We've arrived. Here are the infected who couldn't leave with us. They either froze to death or, due to their already weak bodies, couldn't withstand the Oripathy. In the end, none of them saw the sun rise tomorrow."

Froststar placed the flowers at the front as a memorial to all those who had fallen there. Wang Chong searched for a moment and soon found the words "The children's favorite teacher - Alina" on a wooden tablet in the middle.

"This must be Talulah's close friend," Wang Chong said.

"Hmm, speaking of which, I actually have very little impression of her. I only learned from Talulah that the cloak she gave me as compensation that day was actually sewn by Alina herself. I haven't even been able to properly thank her." Frostnova also came to Alina's grave, closed her eyes, and mourned in silence.

"Alina, do you remember me? I am Frostnova, here on behalf of Talulah to visit you. I've come to express my belated gratitude..." Frostnova spoke quietly, mentioning the current state of the Reunion Movement, Talulah's current situation, and also introducing Wang Chong, explaining how he resolved the curse on Talulah and how he was pursuing her.

At that moment, a gentle breeze stirred, lifting Frostnova's cloak, as if Alina had truly arrived, listening intently to Frostnova's words. Frostnova seemed to sense this as well, her left hand lightly resting on the cloak, saying nothing more, her words ultimately turning into a sigh.

"Why don't you go relax a bit nearby first? We're heading to the next place later, so we need to be on our toes," Wang Chong said slowly.

“I’m fine, it’s just that familiar people always end up like this, one by one, entering this land. I thought I was used to it… but I still feel sadness and… anger.” Frostnova said slowly, but finally nodded and turned to Wang Chong, saying, “But you’re right, I do need to change my mood. I’ll go take a walk around here and see if the Reunion Movement troops left anything behind when they left.”

"Okay, go ahead. I'll stay here for a bit and come find you later. Oh, and by the way, keep an eye on Ghost Shark for me. I left a mark on her so I can find her anytime, but it would be a real hassle if she ran too far and caused some trouble," Wang Chong said.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on her. If she does anything unusual, I'll come find you immediately." Froststar didn't care why Wang Chong wanted to stay, and left directly from him.

Seeing that the person had left, Wang Chong stood with his hands on his hips, looking at the grave. With his eyesight, he could naturally see the peaceful body of the girl with the severed horn buried beneath the snowdrift. Her body was badly damaged, a testament to the inhuman treatment she had suffered in life. Wang Chong was almost certain that those infected who had defected, besides their own nature, had also been influenced by the Black Serpent, thus contributing to this tragedy and becoming the mental pressure that broke Talulah.

"So what do you have to explain, Black Serpent?" Wang Chong calmly spread his hands, and a snake-shaped black mist appeared in his palm.

“My friend, I have nothing to explain. It was all part of the plan. Besides, I only accelerated the process. These were things that my naive daughter was destined to go through.”

"Besides, it's all a long-standing, messy affair. Why should you care, my friend? My daughter is already in your hands, and my clones, including myself, are all under your control. The immortal black serpent is a thing of the past; now it's your era, isn't it?"

A woman's voice emerged from the serpentine black mist, though the voice had changed, the arrogant tone remained the same. The black snake reappeared, and immediately submitted obediently to Wang Chong's palm.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Resurrection and the Day the New Demon King Was Born

"My era? Heh, how interesting. I still prefer your previous unruly self, Black Serpent. Please recover." Wang Chong chuckled and said.

"Your thoughts and your strength surpass all others of your time, and you will surely sweep across this land with overwhelming force. The torrents of Ursus cannot stop you, the magic of Letania cannot defeat you, the ice and snow of Sami cannot imprison you, the iron cavalry of Kazimir cannot break through you, and even the Yan Kingdom, which prides itself on being able to slay behemoths and gods, is not necessarily taken seriously by you. You don't even need to lift a finger; your thoughts are enough to completely overthrow the rule of the Yan Kingdom. Am I... right?"

At this moment, the black snake was as devout as a believer. If Wang Chong hadn't known its true nature, and if Wang Chong hadn't always disdained such flattery, anyone else would probably have been inflated by the black snake's words.

After listening to Black Snake's words, Wang Chong maintained his calm smile, as if he only ever wore that one expression. Wang Chong remained silent, and Black Snake dared not try to decipher his thoughts or utter any unnecessary words.

Although the Black Serpent's current host is Kasena, it doesn't mean it doesn't have other hosts. However, the Black Serpent can clearly sense a new, dark will rising across the land of Ursus. That black mist permeates the entire land of Ursus, and soon its gaze will cover the entire continent. At that time, the Black Serpent will have nowhere to hide and nowhere to retreat.

However, the Black Serpent's true submission to Wang Chong stemmed from the day Wang Chong approached it. Wang Chong proposed a plan—a plan powerful enough to destroy Ursus, yet in the blink of an eye, to rebuild a newer, stronger, and more prosperous Ursus upon the destroyed Ursus.

It was precisely because Wang Chong displayed such long-term strategy and possessed such strength that the Black Serpent was tempted. Wasn't everything it did aimed at making Ursus great again? No matter how many lives were sacrificed, no matter how many wars it instigated, it would achieve this goal. Even if given a rope and told that Ursus would prosper by hanging itself, it would hang itself without hesitation if it was certain that this would truly come true.

The Black Serpent is such an ancient and contradictory creature. It has witnessed too many rises and falls of this country, and it has long since lost the empathy that humans should have. Yet, it stubbornly retains the vision that this land of Ursus can continue to prosper.

It can be a schemer, instigating numerous wars. Yet it can also transform into a teacher at Saint-Germain University, instructing the children who symbolize the future of the nation on how to think about how to change this corrupt country.

However, from Wang Chong's perspective, Black Serpent is nothing more than a Paradox Interactive war criminal—the kind who's bad at the game but loves to play. He's cunning and ruthless, but lacks strategic vision. He's an expert at internal strife, but a complete novice in external warfare. Despite his advanced age and experience, he's like that decaying empire—a frog in a well, trapped in his own cocoon, incapable of creating anything new. He's less energetic than some young calves venturing out into the world.

It's safe to say that Ursus wasn't completely destroyed by the Black Serpent. Thankfully, the country was still under the control of others, and the young emperor was wise enough to make that possible. If it had been entirely handed over to the Black Serpent, it might have already reopened. Of course, perhaps that would have been in line with its own vision—whether it was conquered or a new regime was established, wouldn't that mean Ursus would be revived? It's a classic case of "wins no matter what," a master of self-deception.

Wang Chong didn't care what Black Serpent thought or considered. He only needed the resources Black Serpent could provide—the supplies for the 1,000-man battalion and the heavy weaponry of the 3,000-man battalion. He had quietly channeled all of these resources into his own pocket using the resources Black Serpent controlled. Otherwise, why would the 1,000-man battalion, which stood in the way of the Reunion Movement, be transporting supplies to the division at that particular time? And why was the 3,000-man battalion able to so easily deploy so much heavy weaponry and equipment to the lower reaches of the river?

It can only be said that Wang Chong happily accepted the entire resource package provided by Black Serpent, taking it all back to the Reunion Movement as capital for their future uprising. However, ultimately, these were things Black Serpent originally intended to provide to the corrupted Talulah and the Reunion Movement, so it didn't require much effort. Black Serpent's true role lay in the rear of Ursus, becoming a crucial thorn in their side, firmly planted in the heart of Ursus.
