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

“The Reunion Movement has now expanded to 4287 people, and its combat personnel have increased to 2000. Many of them are former surrendered soldiers. After undergoing ideological reform during this period, they have successfully become members of our Reunion Movement. Ines has already confirmed their mental state and there shouldn't be any major problems,” Frostnova said.

“Although our troop strength has doubled compared to before, the number of enemies we face is also four times that of the original. Moreover, our elite troops haven’t improved significantly; doubling the manpower just means replacing ordinary soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is still somewhat weak. When facing those enemies, I’m afraid we’ll have to rely more on the weapons we captured last time,” Wang Chong said after thinking for a while.

"Are you confident you can win?" Froststar asked.

“Winning isn’t the problem; the problem is how to win in a way that doesn’t drive the Ursus leadership to desperate measures and force them to launch a full-scale army-wide attack on us. I’ve emphasized this point many times before,” Wang Chong said. “But don’t worry, I’ve also considered this aspect. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have formed a special forces team.”

"...Wasn't the reason for forming the special operations team because they're good-looking and difficult to coordinate with others?" Froststar asked doubtfully.

"What, Yelena, you've gone bad too... I already said the special forces are useful, not just chosen for fun because they're good-looking. If that were the case, why didn't I put both of you in? If we're talking about looks, you two should go first, right?" Wang Chong said with a smile, one arm around the other's waist.

"ah!"

“There are still people watching!” Talulah and Frostnova were clearly startled by the King’s unexpected move.

"Our affair is already common knowledge, so what are you all being shy about?" Wang Chong chuckled, then said, "Alright, I'll explain the specific arrangements to you when we get into the tent later. By the way, have you discussed those three books yet?"

"Of course, even my old stubbornness was quite surprised and praised it several times. Even after he knew it was your work, he couldn't help but sincerely praise you, saying you already have the makings of a marshal. This is the first time I've seen my old stubbornness give such generous praise," Froststar said slowly.

“Actually, some of these tactics were used to some extent in previous battles. Disrupting the enemy's formation by flanking them and overcoming their momentum. The Sarkaz mercenaries' three-man firing formations also employed these methods. No wonder that despite being far outnumbered, the Sarkaz mercenaries were no less effective in suppressing fire,” Talulah nodded and said.

“Your ability to combine your previous combat experience with this theoretical knowledge proves that you are not far from mastering its essence. The rest is simply a matter of accumulating experience.” Wang Chong nodded and then said, “Let’s go. Our rest time should be almost over. Next, let’s have a good talk with Patriot and the others about how to proceed with the next encirclement and suppression operation.”

……

Three days passed quickly. During these days, in addition to holding operational meetings to finalize the operational plan, Wang Chong led his men to continue to carve tunnels deep into the mountains, leading into the vast wilderness.

Meanwhile, the first batch of food finally ripened in the fields. When they saw the large quantities of potatoes and other cold-resistant crops growing on the frozen soil, everyone in the Reunion Movement cheered. Just this batch of food alone was enough to feed their 4000 people for half a year, and the entire planting cycle only took 45 days.

“A miracle, this is simply a miracle,” one of the infected exclaimed.

"What miracle? Were all your classes for nothing? This is something we obtained through our own hard work. It is the power of knowledge and technology that brought us all this. If we are to express our gratitude, it is not to some illusory god, but to Mr. Wang Chong for bringing us the seeds and teaching us the planting techniques." Another infected person with a higher level of ideological awareness looked at Wang Chong with somewhat fanatical eyes and kept shouting for him.

Regardless, this food supply undoubtedly gave everyone in the Reunion Movement a shot in the arm, allowing them to witness themselves getting closer and closer to their ideals. Also, thanks to the ample food reserves, the Reunion Movement soldiers were finally able to raise their training intensity to another level.

"Just supplementing with carbohydrates isn't enough... We need to feed them meat to build a truly powerful army," Wang Chong thought to himself.

However, the most scarce resource on the snow-covered plains is probably meat. Although the prey here is large, its numbers are extremely limited, and it's rare to encounter them. Most of the time, the meat supply here relies on livestock farmers in the cities and large-scale livestock farms in the southern grasslands.

Fortunately, thanks to the main storyline's objective requirements, Wang Chong discovered that the system's shop allowed him to exchange for various food items, with 1 reputation point equaling 1 ton. With his current reputation title of "Widely Praised," he could earn 100 reputation points daily, more than enough to exchange for meat.

Of course, Wang Chong didn't bring too much meat at once, as this would not only make it difficult to explain where it came from, but also create dependency within the Reunion Movement. He clearly understood the nature of people who are grateful for small favors but resentful of larger ones. Therefore, he used the meat he had obtained through hunting as a pretext to distribute it as the main reward to those who made positive contributions and excelled in troop training, thereby motivating them.

“However, future meat supplies will still have to be obtained through trade and self-breeding. Although the current scale of the Reunion Movement cannot achieve this, it is always good to be prepared. I remember that many of those who entered the country were logistics and cargo merchants,” Wang Chong pondered.

"A yawn..." A yawning sound came from behind Wang Chong. Surtr sat up from the bed with a tired look on his face, as if he had just woken up.

"Awake? Hmm, you're on time. Let's go, Skadi and Specter should be ready for today's special training by now." Wang Chong said as soon as he saw that Surtr had woken up.

"ice cream……"

"Aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache from eating ice cream so early in the morning? Alright, I'll make you another one myself after we finish our special training, okay?"

As soon as Wang Chong finished speaking, he saw Surtr rush out of the house in a flurry of activity, putting on his coat.

“This little girl…” Wang Chong shook his head helplessly. These past few days, he had indeed complied with Surtr’s wishes and temporarily stayed with her. However, as expected, Surtr wasn’t used to the two of them sleeping in the same bed. Therefore, on the second day of the trial, Surtr made Wang Chong wait until she fell asleep before getting into bed.

Wang Chong was both amused and exasperated. Sure enough, she was another woman who had only a vague idea of ​​what it meant to sleep together. However, this suited Wang Chong perfectly. He had been spending all his time with Talulah and hadn't been able to enter the Dimensional House, but now Surtr had given him a chance to go back.

Therefore, whenever Surtr fell asleep, Wang Chong would use the black mist to put Surtr into a deep sleep before returning to the Dimensional House. He had just accumulated enough villain points during this time and had already started a PK tournament with the Heroic Spirits, which was about to determine a winner. Perhaps he could summon a Heroic Spirit to the battlefield before the battle even began.

"Let's begin today's special training session." Wang Chong stood up and walked out of the room as well.

Chapter 153 Special Training for the Special Forces

"Today is the same as always. Break through these Ursus soldier phantoms, and attack me after you find me. If you hit my vital points, you've succeeded." Wang Chong waved his hand, and black mist began to spread across the surrounding roads, forming phantoms of Ursus soldiers one after another, filling the winding mountain roads of the previous northwestern battlefield.

"You can observe my position from any angle. Once you've confirmed the entry point, launch your attack. Of course, as always, you only have half an hour for observation." Wang Chong stood among the Shadow Legion and relayed his voice to the other side.

Opposite these soldiers were members of the special forces team: Honeysuckle, Skadi, Specter, and Surtr.

This is the daily training regimen of the special operations team. Wang Chong aims to mold these highly capable members into a special operations squad capable of infiltrating the battlefield in any environment, penetrating enemy lines, and directly carrying out decapitation strikes. The goal, simply put, is to concentrate maximum strength to achieve the greatest benefit.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Niyan is more valuable as an engineering team member, Wang Chong would have wanted to recruit him into the special operations team as well. The special operations team is simply too small.

"Begin now!" At Wang Chong's command, Ren Dong was the first to act. After all, as an assassin, she was the one with the highest priority in reconnaissance among the four, so she was the first to scout out the best attack point.

"The column on the right flank is the closest, but due to the mixed formation of mages, melee elites, and shield guards, breaking through is actually more difficult. We should infiltrate from the rear of the left flank and break through at the corner. Although it is farther away, those are all ranged archers and melee elites. Moreover, a surprise attack at the corner will shorten the distance of our breakthrough."

After conducting some reconnaissance, Ren Dong returned to the group and directly shared the information and analysis she had observed.

“Then let’s do as Lady Honeysuckle suggests. Skadi, remember to keep a close eye on Specter this time, and make sure she doesn’t stray off course again,” Surtr said, looking at Skadi and Specter.

"Okay. Shark, stay close to me the whole time." Skadi nodded and turned to Specter, giving him instructions.

Then, the four of them followed the route provided by Honeysuckle and entered the corresponding secret passage. They then suddenly attacked from the left rear, directly targeting the ranged archers and melee elites.

"Leivadin—!"

Surtr, as the vanguard, led the charge. The unfolding fire giants helped Surtr wield his greatsword, allowing him to move with unparalleled ease, easily reaping the lives of the archers and melee elites.

Honeysuckle followed closely behind, guiding Surtr in the right direction and constantly using her dagger to cut down crossbow bolts that she couldn't intercept. Skadi and Specter took charge of the flanks and rearguard, preventing the elite melee fighters who wanted to surround them from stopping them.

"Very good, that's the momentum. Be careful, the enemy's formation change is very likely to come soon, and also watch out for the upcoming magical attacks." While observing the performance of Ren Dong and the others, Wang Chong began to direct the entire Mist Shadow Legion to begin an orderly formation change.

The mixed force, which had been the strongest defensive unit on the right flank, began to shift positions, moving into the path that Surtr and his group were bound to take. At the same time, the entire Mist Shadow Legion launched a precise attack on the five of them. Countless arrows made of black mist pierced towards them, while the elite melee fighters fought fearlessly, coldly and efficiently charging forward to try and halt their advance.

This was undoubtedly the most difficult moment for them. Even with Levadin's help, Surtr had to slow down in the face of this relentless and desperate attack. She swung her greatsword frantically, using fire to deflect the magical attacks and shatter the rain of arrows with her sword.

Although Honeysuckle was the weakest of the four, her incredibly calm mind and the help of Surtr's defensive stance made her a decent support. Skadi and Specter, on the other hand, had developed a more expansive and powerful sword-wielding style due to their long-term experience fighting giant monsters in the deep sea. As a result, they wasted too much energy against the Ursus elites.

Skadi fared somewhat better, as her clear-headedness allowed her to adjust her sword-wielding techniques after several such battles. Specter, however, was in a battle-fighting frenzy; forget about conserving energy, simply following the team obediently like this was already a significant improvement.

"This time, we should be able to break in two minutes faster." Wang Chong observed the five people's advance and couldn't help but estimate how long it would take for the other four to reach him. During this period of special training, the four of them had transformed from fighting individually to cooperating, from randomly choosing directions to attacking to selecting suitable attack routes, and from Ghost Shark consistently going berserk and breaking away from the team to obediently following along and hacking away.

To achieve such progress and coordination in just three days is already a remarkably rapid result. Since yesterday's final training session, they have been able to successfully break through the minion wave and challenge themselves. However, they couldn't hold out for long and were defeated by their own teamwork with the surrounding soldiers.

Wang Chong didn't use his full strength either; he limited his output to roughly Skadi's power and sword speed. Even so, the four were quickly defeated yesterday. It remains to be seen if today will bring any surprises.

"Here it comes." Wang Chong raised an eyebrow. Within his estimated time, Surtr broke through the shield guards' line of defense. Without a word, the flames from the Levadin Greatsword flew directly towards Wang Chong. Wang Chong didn't use the Black Mist ability; he simply relied on limiting the speed of his power output to dodge the attack, while simultaneously swinging his sword at Surtr.

"Chong-"

Surtr frowned, feeling a tremendous force surge through him, causing him to pause involuntarily. This pause exposed a significant weakness, and the rain of arrows and spells were already closing in on him.

But at that moment, a sword and a saw appeared from Surtr's sides, not only blocking the attack for Surtr, but also attacking Wang Chong.

"Too slow!" But Wang Chong seized the opportunity while Skadi and Specter were blocking the spells and arrows. He turned around and used all his strength to strike Skadi's sword blade, which had not yet been charged. At the same time, Wang Chong used his turn to sidestep and hit Specter in the chest, knocking him back.

"call out--"

At that moment, a swift, ghostly figure suddenly appeared in front of Wang Chong, and a cold light pierced directly towards Wang Chong's neck.

But Wang Chong seemed to have seen through the opponent's attack. He first dodged the attack by turning his head to the side, and then grabbed the opponent's wrist with his left hand. With a little force, he disarmed the opponent, and the dagger fell to the ground.

Wang Chong twisted Ren Dong's arm and seized her. With her back to Wang Chong, Ren Dong felt as if her arm, held behind her, was bound by an iron clamp, unable to break free. At most, she could only symbolically wiggle her hips, her fox tail brushing against Wang Chong's chest.

"Lady Honeysuckle, are you trying to tickle me with your tail so I'll laugh and lose my fighting ability?" Wang Chong said half-jokingly.

"Ugh!" Honeysuckle felt a wave of shame. The way she was being held was already very awkward, and her buttocks were facing that spot. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was doing something shameful with Wang Chong. Her tail unconsciously brushed against his chest, more like flirting.

"Alright, enough joking around." Wang Chong released his grip, and at that moment, the entire army temporarily came to a standstill.

At this moment, a wisp of black mist appeared around Skadi, Specter, and Surtr. This was a mark left after their attacks were interrupted by Wang Chong, resulting from being struck by magic or arrows. This meant they were eliminated.

Chapter 154 Unable to Defeat Despite All Effort

"Overall, the result of this battle was quite good. You lasted 5 seconds longer than last time, and your attacks were very well-organized. If your opponent were weaker than me in this state, they would probably have been defeated by now." Wang Chong praised the people in front of him with an approving look.

"Then there are some suggestions I mentioned. After you've reached the enemy general, you should prioritize taking his head as quickly and unexpectedly as possible. Skadi and Specter's support was timely, but it did cause them to miss an opportunity."

"We are doing the most risky thing, and we can't guarantee that we will come out unscathed. Of course, this does not mean that we are doomed. On a real battlefield, once the enemy commander is killed, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the morale of the entire army. Therefore, the moment we kill the enemy leader is the moment we fight for our lives."

After Wang Chong finished speaking, all four people on the battlefield, except for Specter, seemed to be deep in thought. Skadi and Honeysuckle, in particular, were particularly affected. Skadi was a warrior who had long been prepared to sacrifice herself to fight the deep-sea monster, and Honeysuckle was a professional assassin whose every assassination was an experience of walking on the edge of a knife. Therefore, the two of them felt the words more deeply.

"Alright, as usual, I'll create five more Black Mist Ursus commanders for you to practice with. Now I need to go supervise the engineering team. I hope that after your research, you can bring me some interesting surprises tomorrow. Get back to practice, I'll prepare a sumptuous lunch for you all afterwards," Wang Chong said slowly.

The four nodded and began a new round of practice. Wang Chong made the black mist evolve automatically to attack. Each time, the attack would stop and reset after all four hit their targets or after the four defeated five elite commanders.

……

Dimensional Home

Wang Chong didn't go directly to the construction team to inspect the situation as he had said. Instead, he took some time to return to the Dimensional House.

"Is Jeanne d'Arc Alter still sleeping?" Wang Chong asked, noticing a certain Servant who was late, as he watched the many Heroic Spirits arriving one after another for the meeting.

“Wang Chongjun, you know the situation perfectly well. Black Jeanne pushed herself too hard last night. She was clearly exhausted, but she kept insisting on continuing. She only stopped when she finally passed out. She’s still unconscious now,” Jeanne said with a hint of helplessness.

"Hmph, even so, that guy's duration in bed only gets him fourth place, not even making it into the top three. He might even drop to fifth after tonight," Euryale said with a laugh, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

"Alter Jeanne has already given it her all, but unfortunately, hard-working contestants can never compete with naturally gifted ones. The top three are all monsters, aren't they? Atalanta, and the two Knight Kings," Semiramis said with a smile, looking at the three.

"In the reputation contest, Jeanne Alter encountered three powerful reputation holders and, despite her best efforts, could not defeat them." Little Medusa began to record the strange things.

"Don't rush to write about the three most reputable figures, my silly sister. There's one last heavyweight who hasn't made his appearance yet," Stheno said, pressing Medusa's notebook down.

“Ah…it’s her. I just saw her running outside, as if she was preparing for tonight’s duel,” Mordred said involuntarily.

"The meeting is about to start, and you're still running around... Atalanta, can you call Arcueid over?" Wang Chong shook his head and then looked at Atalanta, saying.

"Hmm." Atalanta flew out like an arrow, arriving directly outside the courtyard and bringing back a rather unreliable princess.

"Hehe... Sorry everyone, I'm late. Go~ You're back~ Are you planning to start now? I can stay up all night~ You know me~" Arcueid said excitedly. If everyone wasn't here, Arcueid might have already started taking off her coat... Well, she had already started.

"We're having a serious meeting right now, what are you doing?" Wang Chong said with a dark expression.

“Haha… I thought we were going to start right now, since that would be the best way to test my stamina,” Arcueid said with a laugh.

“Arquette, are you awake? The rules of the competition are based on a night's duration. First, we'll see who can last the longest. If we can all last a night, then the competition will focus on how many times A-Chong needs to replenish his mana,” Artoria [Alter] said. “Hmph~ In terms of time, perhaps none of us can beat you. However, unfortunately, if it's a whole night, I, my other self, and Atalanta can all last. Therefore, what you're competing with us on is your ability to please A-Chong.”

"I'm tied for first place with another player, both with 64 times. Can you possibly surpass that number?" Artoria [Alter] began her provocative act, while the main knight king, Artoria, sitting beside her, was blushing to the roots of her ears and kept her head down without saying a word.

"Heh heh? Are you declaring war on me?" Arcueid's crimson eyes flashed with gold as he touched half of his face with his right hand, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"64 times, you can beat me? You can defeat me? If you beat me, I'll give this to you right now..." Artoria [Alter] wanted to say something more, but Wang Chong interrupted her spellcasting directly: "Alright, alright, we'll see the real test tonight. Let's get down to business first."

“You should also be aware that you are about to enter a new world. Not only is it an unfamiliar environment, but most importantly, there is almost no magic there. You will have to rely more on your own magic or my magic replenishment,” Wang Chong reminded him cautiously.

"Isn't that similar to our previous manifestation of heroic spirits? Besides, we've all undergone soul materialization now, so we shouldn't have to worry about our magic power running out, right?" Mordred asked doubtfully.

“No, there will still be some differences. As you should know, many of the abilities of Heroic Spirits depend on various kinds of blessings. Those blessings are something that only the world we originally lived in could provide,” Wang Chong shook his head and said.

"Since I entered that new world, I have felt that my protections have been weakened to some extent. Fortunately, the power of ruin, which is my main strength, has not been greatly affected. I just don't know to what extent you will be weakened after you go there. However, I also used the ability of soul materialization to revive two people in that world. Judging from their performance, the minimum level of strength they retained was still very high, enough to help me."

“Understood. Whoever among us is chosen must be prepared for a decline in strength and adapt to the process, right?” Now that the conversation turned to serious matters, Artoria was no longer shy and openly shared her views.

"Well, I hope my guess is wrong. If you can unleash your full potential, many of my plans can be implemented much faster," Wang Chong nodded and said.

"Having said all that, let me now tell you about the current situation. Whoever is chosen after tonight will immediately face a challenge once they leave." Wang Chong then explained the situation regarding the Reunion Movement's impending encirclement by 40,000 legions.

"Heh heh, 40,000 grunts? If they were here, I could take them all out with a single Noble Phantasm release." Mordred's eyes flashed with excitement; clearly, she longed for and enjoyed this kind of battlefield.

"Don't underestimate the heroes of the world, Lord Mordred. Especially the strong from another world," Artoria said with a slightly serious tone. As a knight-king who has fought for many years, she naturally understands what 40,000 troops mean. To be able to command such a force, one's martial prowess and leadership skills must be exceptional.

"I know, I know. Anyway, it's not my turn to go this time." Mordred scratched his head and said somewhat dejectedly.

"The purpose of this visit is to allow you to prepare in advance. Although you won't be among the first to enter, you will eventually be able to gradually enter that world and deal with the situation," Wang Chong said, hands on his hips.

All the heroic spirits nodded, ready to go into battle.

"Phew... But so much time has passed, and there's still no movement from our world. Will Chaldea really come to our world?" Jeanne couldn't help but ask.

"Furthermore, it's not good for the mental and physical health of children like Illya and Rin to stay cooped up in this little world. They need to interact with more peers eventually. Sakura has been asking me lately, 'Master, why haven't you come to teach them magic?'" Semiramis added.

"The things that have accumulated are getting more and more numerous. I'll find some time to explain them to the children. If there's an opportunity, I'll see if I can let them enter the new world to take a look." Wang Chong scratched his head in frustration, hoping that this encirclement and suppression war would bring him good returns.

Chapter 155 The Protracted War Begins

After finishing his meeting with the heroic spirits of the Dimensional House, Wang Chong took the opportunity to visit the other people living in the Dimensional House. Irisviel and Aoi were taking care of the children as always, appearing in public as two kind and loving wives and mothers, but as for their private lives... well, those who know, know.

Leticia continued her studies with Jeanne d'Arc as always, occasionally learning magic from Semiramis or Aozaki Touko. She always hoped to help Wang Chong in some way through her own efforts. However, recently she had made considerable progress in potion cultivation, which had been of great help to Aozaki Touko.

Aozaki Touko remained as dedicated to her experiments as ever, and her exploration of the path of the soul seemed to have become even more refined. Recently, she had also developed an interest in a product called Originium. She felt that if she could unravel the mysteries of this thing that could contain the soul within a stone, it would undoubtedly open up new avenues for her soul's journey.

As for Wang Chong, he's become increasingly indulgent towards him. Perhaps it's because Wang Chong is the only woman there, and they only see each other every now and then, but Aozaki Touko's impression of him is getting better and better, and she misses him. Perhaps all it takes is a little opportunity to win him over.

The children are doing alright these days. Sakura seems to be getting more and more attached to him, perhaps because he hasn't seen her for a long time and she's feeling a bit lonely. Illya and Rin Tohsaka, on the other hand, are as energetic as ever, treating Wang Chong the same way they always have.

Ryougi Shiki seems to have grown a bit recently, she's gotten a little taller. However, she misses home. As the only child who knows the truth about the outside world, she's always carried a burden different from her peers. After all, everyone else at least has a mother, while she's now practically an orphan.

Fortunately, with Wang Chong's comforting words, her mood seemed to improve considerably. Perhaps this also meant that she was becoming increasingly reliant on Wang Chong in some ways.

Karen Altasia started gaining weight under the careful care, and she became much cuter. She seemed to have noticed what was happening around her, but she said nothing, displaying a maturity far beyond her years.

However, after seeing Wang Chong arrive, she would occasionally act like a pampered daughter, acting coquettishly towards him. Children should ultimately return to their childlike nature. At least, that's what Wang Chong thought.

Finally, there's Ayaka Sajou. While Wang Chong visited the others, she acted like a real leech, clinging to his waist. However, both children and adults were used to Ayaka Sajou's behavior.
