Although Jeanne Alter protested that she would rather have a consolation prize than this broken cup.

Fortunately, Wang Chong comforted her, saying that this time, all Servants who helped would receive this consolation prize for cutting in line early. Only then did Jeanne d'Arc Alter obediently sit back down.

Of course, the Holy Grail that Jeanne Alter originally possessed had already been taken out by Wang Chong.

After all, those were things that Goetia had tampered with. Before they were completely cleaned, Wang Chong would not hand them over to any servants, but would instead seal them all in the system space.

According to system confirmation, the three corrupted Holy Grails will no longer transmit messages through the system space. Furthermore, as long as they remain within the system space for a few months to nurture themselves, the residual effects of Goetia's methods will naturally be cleansed away by the system space.

Afterwards, Wang Chong realized that he couldn't let the Servants disappear from Chaldea for too long, so he had them all return to Chaldea.

He himself, along with the two Artorias who had just voluntarily entered the Poké Ball, stood before the world portal of Terra.

"Terra—Activate!"

Wang Chong looked at his villain points, which had dwindled to only 4800 after spending 20,000 to buy two Poké Balls, but he didn't feel particularly disappointed.

Instead, I was wondering what kind of surprises and feedback the two or three days I spent on Type-Moon would bring me, which, when converted to Terra, would be more than ten days.

After a flash of white light, the familiar snowfield scenery came into view once again.

At that moment, the system's announcements also rang out repeatedly:

"Ding—Changes detected in the host's organizational integration movement. Rewards are being calculated. Current changes are as follows:"

Current population: 24325 → 51107 (2000 villain points will be awarded for every 10 population increase).

Current sphere of influence: 1032 square kilometers → 2713 square kilometers (an epic lottery is awarded for every 1000 square kilometers increase).

Current grain reserves: 200 tons → 2350 tons (for every 1 tons accumulated, one Terra Tech creation and corresponding knowledge and blueprints will be obtained).

Current number of Reunion Movement troops: 4287 → 12120.

The current cumulative number of Ursus enemy troops eliminated is 24280, including 1 general.

You will receive an epic draw, fulfilling the mission requirements and earning triple reputation points, totaling 75840 reputation points. Your current reputation is approximately 17.8.

Looking at the rewards, Wang Chong was quite satisfied, having received the equivalent of 7500 villain points in one go. This was far more than the villain points he had earned from his struggles in the Singularity.

Is this the satisfying feeling of AFK reward dungeons? I can only say that all my hard work has finally started to bring me considerable returns.

"However, judging from the system notification, it seems they have won another battle on their own. They killed 20,000 enemies and a general. Tsk tsk, that's not bad. I just wonder how many losses we suffered."

"In addition, the expansion of our numbers and territory is happening much faster than I expected. It seems that the previous 'Torch Relay' plan is starting to take effect."

Wang Chong knew that he had dispatched half of the Reunion Movement army to various locations on the ice plains to begin their own development. In just under half a month, their numbers had already more than tripled.

"Black Alice, Black Alice."

Wang Chong noticed the atmosphere of war all around him. It seemed that the original Reunion Movement base had been abandoned, but Black Alice must have left behind a way to guide him to the new base.

As expected, after activating the power of the black mist, the power left behind by Black Alice quickly reconnected with him.

"Master~ You're finally back~"

Black Alice's voice carried a hint of weariness and joy. It seemed that Black Alice had been working tirelessly lately to portray herself and deal with the situation in Ursus.

"Well, things have come to a temporary halt on my end, so I came to check on your situation. What's the current state of things?" Wang Chong asked.

"The situation is neither too good nor too bad. The remaining troops in the Reunion Movement were still able to deal with the attacking armies, and we kept maneuvering and relying on the mountains to carry out guerrilla warfare against them. They were helpless and could not wipe us out."

"However, a few days ago, a very powerful mercenary group suddenly entered the battlefield and dealt a heavy blow to our side. Talulah and Yelena were both seriously injured as a result."

"Fortunately, Arcueid was there, and those mercenaries were torn to shreds by Arcueid. This completely intimidated the enemy, so they haven't been in a hurry to launch another attack for some time..."

On the way, Hei Ai Li guided Wang Chong and the other two towards the new base while slowly telling Wang Chong in detail about the recent Reunification Movement battle situation.

Wang Chong nodded, understanding the whole story. He didn't say much, but mainly inquired about Talulah and Frostnova's condition in detail. Only after confirming that they were alright did he feel relieved.

Then Wang Chong instructed Black Alice to inform Talulah and Frostnova of his return, and to prepare them for the re-identification of Black Alice and the welcoming of the two Artorias.

"The energy here is so oppressive. It feels like my magic is being completely suppressed. If it weren't for the Third Law still circulating, I feel like I wouldn't be able to unleash even half of my power."

After Wang Chong finished communicating with Black Alice, Artoria finally spoke up to comment on this world.

"Yes, after all, the magic power in this world is quite limited. However, once we have a stable base, magic power will spontaneously generate within it. At that time, any enemy that dares to invade will be destroyed under the light of Excalibur."

Wang Chong slowly said:

"Speaking of which, this is still your most familiar area. Using limited resources and a small number of troops, you constantly engage in hit-and-run tactics with the enemy. You calculate the balance of gains and losses with a scale accurate to several decimal places, and continuously expand your victories."

“That sounds a bit bad… But when it comes to leading people to victory, I’m confident I won’t lose to anyone, not even myself.” Artoria said, smiling as she looked at her other self beside her: Artoria [alter].

"Alright, let's have another competition then, and see who can lead their troops further and win more battles."

Seeing how confident the original version of herself was, Artoria (alter) naturally felt obligated to compete with her.

"Alright, you two, put your competition aside for now. You can compete again after I've shown you around this world." Wang Chong patted the two of them, then led them quickly deeper into the snow-capped mountains.

There were traces of blood everywhere along the way, and many bulging objects could be vaguely seen in the snowdrifts. They were probably buried corpses.

The closer you get to the battlefield, the stronger the stench of blood in the air becomes, making you want to vomit.

Fortunately, the three of them were already used to this kind of thing, and after a little while, they continued to move forward in silence. (The last two lines appear to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)

However, this also gave the two knight kings a chance to understand the intensity of the battle.

"Looks like that's the Ursus army's main camp. Hmph, it seems they've put a lot of effort into countering our guerrilla tactics, finally moving away from their previous concentrated encampment."

Wang Chong stared down at the camp below, which occupied the pass and was set up in layers, effectively reducing the risk of being attacked from the front.

"It's clear that those heavily armored warriors are better suited for siege warfare on plains and in castles. In this mountainous terrain, they not only can't utilize their numerical advantage, but their manpower will also be constantly worn down. It's like using our weaknesses to attack their strengths."

Artoria made a keen judgment simply from the soldiers' clothing and actions.

“They had no choice. They had previously surrounded us without attacking, cutting off our water and food supplies, and then lured us into a direct confrontation. But they never expected that not only were our food reserves greater than they imagined, but we were also able to continue growing food on the mountain.”

"With ample food supplies, they can't wear us down. Instead, they keep trying to break through and use their numerical advantage to deplete our forces. But the reality is that our people are sustaining themselves through war, and our fighting strength has quadrupled."

Wang Chong spoke slowly.

"Good, there's plenty of food. As long as we can grow our own food... As long as we have enough to eat, what do we have to worry about in defeating our opponents?"

Listening to Wang Chong's words, it seemed as if she was recalling the painful memories of the British Kingdom era, and Artoria sighed in this way.

Chapter 67: Reunion

As time passed, Wang Chong, riding the black mist, finally found the Integrated Movement base hidden deep in the snow-capped mountains.

This time, however, Wang Chong did not enter directly. Instead, he landed in a remote location far from the ground and then began to send out signals.

“Scouts are everywhere. If we get any closer, we’ll probably be noticed.”

Artoria recalled the scenery she had just glimpsed. Although it was not visible to the naked eye, Artoria, with her powerful intuition, could sense the gazes hidden in the snowdrifts and mountain walls.

"Although their strength is somewhat weak, they have brought out the best in tactics and wisdom. No wonder they have been able to win many battles with fewer troops and always remain invincible."

Even Alteria (alter) gave a rare positive evaluation.

Wang Chong nodded slightly and waited there. After about half a while, the three of them finally heard the sound of footsteps on the snow. Soon, three familiar figures appeared in Wang Chong's sight.

Upon seeing him, the white figure suddenly sped up, pounced on him like an excited rabbit.

"Thank goodness, you're finally back safe and sound." Shuangxing hugged Wang Chong, her eyes filled with longing. (The last few lines appear to be random characters and are not translated.)

"Yelena, you seem to look much more energetic than before." Wang Chong smiled and ruffled Froststar's hair. Of course, he didn't dare to touch Froststar's rabbit ears, which were trembling with excitement.

"Perhaps it's because she took those blood pills you left behind that Yelena's health is gradually improving."

Then Talulah and Black Alice arrived in front of the three of them, and Talulah said with a smile.

"Master, you've finally arrived. Let me get some rest..."

Black Alice looked listless, clearly exhausted from working overtime lately. Wang Chong nodded and put Black Alice back into the black mist space.

"We've also benefited greatly from Miss Black Alice's intelligence gathering abilities during this time. She's always been able to anticipate the enemy's moves and direct everyone to retreat with composure," Talulah said slowly.

"Hmm, I just heard a message from Black Alice. It seems you're planning to have me take Yelena out for a day or two before coming back?" Wang Chong couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, after all, it would be a bit strange to just come out on patrol and then take two people back with you."

Talulah nodded and said:

"Don't worry, Yelena is also on a mission to exchange information and supplies with other Reunion members outside. I'm mainly worried about whether these two days will take up some of your time."

"It's alright. Things on my end have come to a temporary end, so I don't have to worry about anything there for the next two months," Wang Chong said slowly.

"Phew, that's good..."

Talulah also let out a breath, then, as if remembering something, she spoke:

"In the blink of an eye, spring is almost over. Soon the ice plains will welcome their warmest time. By then, it will be harvest time."

"Yes, I also learned from Black Alice about the expansion results of the Reunion Movement during this period. Our army has also expanded from a few thousand people to tens of thousands of members."

"Although most of them are scattered in various parts of the snowfield, there is no doubt that when the 'Torch Relay' plan is launched, it will be the time for us to fight the Ursus Third and Fourth Armies."

Wang Chong nodded and spoke slowly.

"The extent and speed of the Reunion Movement's expansion have exceeded my expectations... Ah, sorry, these things should be discussed more when we get back."

Talulah said, then, as if remembering something, apologized.

“It’s okay, I know.” Wang Chong put his arm around Talulah’s waist and pulled her into his embrace as well, and said slowly, “Although you gave the opportunity to Yelena, I know that you are also very lonely inside.”

“…Um, I’m sorry, but honestly, it’s so good to see you back safe and sound.” Talulah didn’t refuse, letting Wang Chong hug her and leaning on the man she loved.

After a long while, Froststar and Talulah, who were embraced by Wang Chong on the left and right, vented some of their loneliness before reluctantly leaving.

Talulah looked at the two Artorias and said, "I'm sorry to have made you two laugh at me. I've been waiting for so long."

"It's alright, we understand your loneliness. Besides, you are responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of people, so it's only right that you need to release some pressure."

Artoria shook her head, indicating that she understood completely.

"Well then, I'll head back now. See you in two days, Ah Chong. Take good care of Yelena." Talulah waved goodbye to the four of them and then started walking alone towards the Reunion Movement base.

"Talulah seems to have become more and more approachable. Although she has lost some of her former heroic spirit and warrior-like passion, she has become more and more mature in her interactions with people and in her handling of affairs, and she is becoming more and more like a true leader."

"Talulah seems to have become more and more approachable. Although she has lost some of her former heroic spirit and warrior-like passion, she has become more and more mature in her interactions with people and in her handling of affairs, and she is becoming more and more like a true leader."

Wang Chong watched Talulah walk away and couldn't help but say something.

"That's because women follow their husbands' example. Xiao Lu learned all of these things from you."

Froststar smiled and followed up.

"Really? I don't feel that way. And I feel that I'm quite evil and ruthless most of the time. Is it because I haven't shown it to you?" Wang Chong asked, stroking his chin.

"Hmph, your wickedness is only shown in bed." Frostnova blushed and snorted as if she had thought of something.

"Alright, Yelena, let's not talk about this anymore. Since we're going out for a couple of days, we should at least pick a place. Or is there some important mission assigned to us?" Wang Chong couldn't help but ask.

"There really is... Do you remember those people under your command? One of them was sent out, and she should be on her way back now. I'm on this mission to pick her up."

Froststar explained.

“My subordinate… oh, it’s Honeysuckle,” Wang Chong remembered and said.

“Yes, that’s the name. Even Suzuran-chan is waiting for her mother to come back,” Frostnova said.

"I see... Wait, whose mother did you just mention?" Suddenly, Wang Chong heard an odd address and quickly asked.

"Lily of the Valley, oh, I almost forgot, Black Alice couldn't possibly explain everything in detail. It's Little Lisa. She's joined the medical team doing logistical work now, and she's given herself the codename Lily of the Valley. Apparently, it's related to her mother's codename, Honeysuckle."

Froststar explained.

"Lily of the Valley... that's a really nice nickname, it suits her very well."

Wang Chong couldn't help but sigh, because he knew that Little Lisa's original path would also lead her to adopt a similar codename on Rhodes Island. It seemed that fate always brought things to a close unexpectedly.

Of course, even if Little Lisa hadn't chosen this code name for herself, Wang Chong would probably have guided her to use the name Lily of the Valley. After all, everyone's used to calling her Lily of the Valley.

Then, Wang Chong once again conjured up the black mist, taking everyone to the transit village that the Honeysuckle Society would pass through.

With Wang Chong's black mist ability, he easily broke through layers of obstacles and escaped Ursus's encirclement.

On the way, Wang Chong also learned that the Reunion Movement had already dug a long tunnel leading to the snowfield, which allowed them to escape from the encirclement in the mountains at any time. They usually used this tunnel to exchange supplies and combat personnel with the outside world.

Even Wang Chong had to marvel at how Ni Yan's engineering team had managed to construct such an incredible, long-distance underground tunnel in such a short time, far exceeding his expectations.

You have to understand that the ground beneath is frozen soil, which isn't soil that can be dug up easily. Plus, this efficiency is more than ten times better than our modern excavators.

Terra Superman, he really lived up to my expectations.

Furthermore, Wang Chong learned that Linglan wasn't the only child at such a young age to have joined the medical team to do auxiliary work. In fact, most of the children were starting to follow suit and help with logistical tasks.

As their teacher, Alina created a new team specifically for these children—the Integrated Youth Team—to manage and assign tasks in a unified manner, ensuring the children's safety while providing them with sufficient practical training.
