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

This is tantamount to beginning a real war with the other side.

"Has the war...come ahead of schedule? What exactly is going on? What has happened in the past month or so?"

Wang Chong frowned. The only good news was that the overall data for the Reunion Movement was still on the rise.

"Black Alice..."

Wang Chong silently recited in his heart that he had established a connection with the black mist left on this land and instantly contacted Black Alice, who had replaced him.

"Master, you're finally back."

Hearing Black Alice's voice enter his mind, Wang Chong could sense her urgency. He said in a deep voice:

"Don't panic. The power I left you should be enough to handle the situation. And now that I've returned, tell me what exactly is going on with the Reunion Movement? Why have you suddenly expanded your forces so much? And what's with the high number of enemies you've wiped out?"

"Just as you might have guessed, Master... the war has begun ahead of schedule," Black Alice said slowly.

Chapter 202: Attila's Strange Situation

"Don't rush, tell me slowly. What exactly happened? Why did the war with the Third and Fourth Armies break out ahead of schedule?"

Wang Chong asked in a deep voice.

"The specific reason was an accident. In a village located near the northeastern border, a villager was caught red-handed by the patrol team because he was not evacuated in time, and our propaganda brochures were found in his possession."

Blackie slowly said, "In order to protect this secret, the villagers took action against the militia members in advance. In the end, they left all the militia members here."

"But who would have thought that one of the guerrillas happened to be the son of a colonel in the nearby Fourth Army, and that he had some means of sensing his child's death."

"Therefore, the nearby villages soon came under the watchful eye of that angry colonel, who adopted the attitude of 'better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free.' He began to clear out the surrounding villages."

"Left with no other choice, the villagers formed a self-defense force and rose up in resistance. When other villages heard that they were to be wiped out as well, they all joined in."

"As a result, the two sides fought to the death, but neither side was able to defeat the other. The colonel sensed that something was wrong and began to call for reinforcements. The villagers' plight also came to the attention of other Reunion Movement members in more distant areas, who rushed to their aid."

"And I could only tell Talulah and the others this news. But the war has already begun, and it's impossible to stop it now. In addition, many villages hadn't fully joined our Reunion Movement to begin with; they were just dragged onto the war machine because they were implicated."

"Now they have only one demand: to fight the Fourth Army to the end. After discussing with other high-ranking members of the Reunification Movement, Talulah decided to start Project Spark ahead of schedule and send support from various regions to the main battlefield on the northeastern border."

"At the same time, the headquarters no longer conserves its strength and begins a formal breakout, preparing to connect with the Northeast battlefield and completely take control of the entire Northeast region."

"Meanwhile, the guerrillas of the Integration Movement in the central ice field region also began to prepare to launch a blocking war against the army groups that came to the aid of various places. They began to wear down the enemy's manpower."

"That's roughly what happened. The Reunion Movement headquarters has successfully annihilated the army groups that surrounded us, and has already left the mountains and begun its advance towards the northeastern ice field battlefield."

After listening to Blackie's report, Wang Chong let out a sigh of relief and said, "It really is one problem after another..."

"It's my fault for not handling things properly, which led to this situation," Black Alice replied in a low voice, bowing her head.

"There's no need to blame yourself. As the Reunion Movement's ideals spread further and further, more and more people are joining us. Naturally, the probability of friction with those army groups will increase. We can't hide it from them."

Wang Chong shook his head and said, "Fortunately, those militiamen who had undergone brief training were surprisingly capable in battle and achieved such remarkable results. Now that the war has begun, let's go with the flow!"

"Yes, I will immediately inform Talulah and Yelena of your return. And then, our current location..."

Black Alice quickly informed Wang Chong of the coordinates. After determining the direction, Wang Chong waited for Black Jeanne and Attila to arrive.

When Jeanne Alter and Attila arrived in this snowy world, before they could even marvel at the surrounding snow scenery, Wang Chong led them onto the Black Mist Platform and they quickly headed in one direction.

"Time is tight, and unexpectedly, the war has started ahead of schedule," Wang Chong said slowly. "However, this is also good news for you. You can go directly into the battlefield, quickly take control of the army, and gain influence."

"First, get a feel for how your strength has changed, so you won't be caught off guard when you get to the battlefield."

After hearing Wang Chong's explanation, the two women realized the urgency of the situation. So they immediately began to use their strength.

"Tsk, just as that guy said, my strength has been suppressed since I came to this world. I can't even exert one-tenth of my original strength now."

Jeanne Alter brandished her spear, then tried using fire magic, quickly grasping the situation.

Wang Chong nodded. Jeanne Alter's situation was roughly the same as Arcueid and Artoria's. After they reached the main force of the Reunion Movement and ascertained the current situation, he would have to bring Arcueid and Albion over to share some of the burden.

"I feel a little uncomfortable... but I can sense some of the strange things about this world."

"I feel a little uncomfortable... but I can sense some of the strange things about this world."

However, at that moment, Attila's sword, the Sword of the War God, suddenly gathered a blackish-red energy, which swirled around the blade before he swung it out. A fierce sword light flashed out instantly.

When Wang Chong saw the black and red sword light, he was first stunned, and then he was shocked. He could clearly tell that the black sword light did not contain the ether magic of the Type-Moon world, but rather the Originium energy!

But how could this be? How could Attila have mastered the skill of using Originium energy for no reason?

"Ugh, these black things are so noisy. Attila doesn't like them... They're a bad civilization... They need to be killed... killed... wiped out... destroyed..."

Suddenly, Attila clutched her head, her expression becoming somewhat abnormal. The sparkle in her eyes began to fade, replaced by a cold, mechanical demeanor as she carried out orders.

At the same time, a faint white light appeared on her body, which made Wang Chong instinctively feel a sense of threat.

"Destroy the causality to which it is attached...destroy the ironclad laws imposed by the world...destroy this satellite!"

"Attila... Attila!"

Wang Chong noticed Attila's unusual behavior and immediately grabbed Attila's wrists with both hands. Attila instinctively tried to slash with the Sword of the War God in his hand, attempting to resist. However, Wang Chong still managed to grab her forcefully with even greater speed.

"Attila! Wake up! You are not a tool of war and destruction of the world! Attila!"

As Wang Chong spoke loudly, he used the power of the black mist to forcefully counter the silvery-white radiance that appeared on Attila's body.

"Destruction... Ugh, my head hurts so much, Master, what just happened to me?" Attila shook her head, the light in her eyes gradually returning.

"It's nothing. The energy in this world has some negative effects. If you use it carelessly, you can easily get hurt. You shouldn't use that kind of power so easily, understand?" Wang Chong said slowly.

“I understand… those black things, chattering away, and then my head started to hurt. It’s a nasty civilization, like a high fever,” Attila nodded and said.

Wang Chong breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his mind settled down. Attila's behavior just now wasn't due to being controlled by Originium energy; on the contrary, Attila was acting on instinct, stimulated by the new alien civilization system.

It's important to understand that Attila is that white colossus. It's a special kind of planetary vanguard designed to devour civilizations. It can adapt to any civilization system and world law, constantly eroding and destroying them.

Attila was just stimulated by the new civilization system—the Originium system—which awakened its instinctive adaptability, resulting in Attila almost reverting to the true giant Attila.

No, if it were just the giant Attila, there might still be a possibility of communication. But what if it transforms into Seiferu, the asteroid vanguard who only knew how to carry out orders and cause destruction? In that case, there would truly only be a battle between them and Attila.

"It looks like I'll have to keep Attila with me. Even if I don't let her use Originium energy, it doesn't mean she won't come into contact with these things."

Wang Chong pondered:

"However, every cloud has a silver lining. Although there is the risk of becoming a giant, if I get along with her properly, I might be able to help Attila overcome her original command. That way, I can truly possess a giant!"

After considering the risks and benefits, Wang Chong finally decided to help Attila regain the power of the Titan. However, he would have to keep a close eye on the process from beginning to end.

So Wang Chong continued to channel the power of the black mist into Attila's body, so that he could monitor Attila's physical condition at all times.

Chapter 203: Reintegration

The ordeal surrounding Attila has temporarily come to an end. After this incident, Attila seems to have clung even closer to Wang Chong, clearly realizing that staying by his side can prevent her from experiencing anything that makes her uncomfortable.

Attila's actions, however, stirred up Jeanne d'Arc's jealousy again. Jeanne d'Arc immediately rushed over and hugged Wang Chong tightly from the other side. Attila, seeing this, didn't say much, but her eyes seemed to indicate that she also had no intention of giving Wang Chong up much.

While the two sides were openly and secretly vying for Wang Chong, Wang Chong himself began to focus his attention on the things he had previously acquired.

"Finally, we have a more efficient and guerrilla-friendly long-range weapon for gunfire."

Upon seeing this, Wang Chong showed a satisfied expression. It seemed that the system had detected the start of the war and was about to activate various military weapons for him.

"Previously, we could only use bows and crossbows. Although their destructive power and penetrating ability were amazing, the standards for learning and mastering Originium Arts were far too high. The issues of firing rate and accuracy were also major drawbacks. There were simply too few sharpshooters like Sasha."

"The Sarkaz's guns are only usable by the Sarkaz themselves, and they are very skilled at operating them. Most of the guns available on the market are small handguns, which are not only limited in power, but also require just as much training and mastery of Originium Arts as bows and crossbows. Therefore, using handguns is really not worth it."

"In contrast... the guns produced by the system are completely different. The only difference from existing gun technology is the optimization of the Originium circuits inside the guns. There is no need to use Originium Arts to finely manipulate the Originium circuits of the guns; as long as Originium energy is injected, they can be fired!"

"No, to be precise, if we use the etched bullets optimized from the blueprints, we don't even need to inject Originium energy; we can fire them directly. And the more Originium energy injected, the greater the power of the bullet."

"This means that the [gunslingers] possessed by our Reunion Movement are not only extremely easy to use, but their power ceiling has also been greatly increased, making it very easy for our Reunion Movement to quickly build an elite gunnery. Heh, is this the crushing advantage brought about by technology?"

Wang Chong looked at the design drawing of the medium rifle with great satisfaction. He already had a general idea of ​​the direction for the next conquest.

"Let me see the new reputation titles I've acquired."

Wang Chong opened the reputation panel and began to examine the effect of the title he had previously obtained, which was called "One Call, Hundred Responses":

The daily recruitment limit is set at 100 people. New members' loyalty to the organization is capped at maximum for the first week, then dynamically changes based on circumstances. The success rate of attracting rare talent increases by 10%.

Your influence can no longer be hidden. Whenever you enter a new region, there is a 50% chance of directly gaining the support of all the villagers in that region, a 45% chance of gaining a friendly neutral attitude, and a 5% chance of gaining a neutral resistant attitude (only for those who resist the idea of ​​integration).

"It's very suitable for the title of rapid military expansion, but it's impossible to eliminate traitors like before. However, it also reflects the problems that rapid military expansion will inevitably expose: not only are there good and bad soldiers, but there are also spies planted by other forces to fish in troubled waters."

Wang Chong pondered for a moment and quickly found a solution that satisfied both sides:

"I will only use it when recruiting soldiers and entering new areas. On other days, I will continue to use the title of [widely praised] to screen out the hidden agents planted by various countries."

"Anyway, the title can be changed at any time, so it can be used flexibly according to various needs."

With this in mind, Wang Chong did not change his title for the time being. He would make specific plans after obtaining the headquarters, as he still needed to ascertain the current situation of the Integration Movement.

"Speaking of which, my reputation has reached 47, which translates to 4.7 villain points. The rate at which my reputation is growing has finally reached a terrifying speed as my power expands... and in the upcoming large-scale battles, this growth rate will only be faster!"

For the first time, Wang Chong had the illusion that he had an endless supply of villain points. He even planned to buy a few love rings and give them to the followers who had followed him for a long time and whose favorability had been maxed out long ago.

"Host, we suggest you save up a bit more. Once you break the 50 mark, the shop will unlock some reputation-related items for a limited time. You can purchase them then, which will accelerate your progress."

Seemingly sensing Wang Chong's thoughts, the system quickly sent out a notification.

"You really do keep everything to yourself, System." Wang Chong was already used to the system's attempts to compensate, so he didn't bother to say anything and turned his gaze forward.

"The Reunion Movement should be fine for now. The main concern is the situation on Rhodes Island. I wonder what their view is of the current situation in Ursus, and whether they still need to continue cooperating."

"The most crucial thing is to see if we can take over Chernobog without anyone noticing. Not only do we gain access to a large industrial city, but more importantly, we need to get that Doctor into our hands."

Wang Chong pondered.

"Look, Master, haven't we arrived yet?" Jeanne Alter reminded them at this moment.

Wang Chong's thoughts were temporarily interrupted as he began to look in the direction Jeanne d'Arc Alter had pointed. He saw a black line appear on the snowfield directly ahead. Wang Chong narrowed his eyes; it was indeed the main force of the Reunion Movement, seemingly rushing towards the northeastern border battlefield.

Wang Chong immediately contacted Hei Aili and asked her to arrange for them to switch places again.

Not long afterward, the main force of the Reunion Movement came to a halt and set up camp in a suitable area.

Then, Wang Chong saw Black Alice being led by Talulah and Frostnova into the forest. Wang Chong also transformed the platform into a cloud of black mist, enveloping himself, Black Jeanne d'Arc, and Attila, and quickly entered the forest. (The last sentence appears to be unrelated and possibly a fragment from another text.)

……

"Ah Chong, you're finally back."

He was greeted with a warm hug from Talulah. Looking into her tired eyes with dark circles, Wang Chong knew that Talulah had been working hard for the Reunion Movement for a long time and probably hadn't had a good night's sleep.

"Okay, don't worry. Although the plan was brought forward a bit, I already have new ideas. So relax and don't push yourself anymore. I'm back."

Wang Chong pulled Talulah into his arms, gently patted her back, and said...

"Yes, I feel much more at ease with you here." Talulah nodded and buried her face in Wang Chong's chest.

"This time, Xiao Lu is even more clingy than I am. But there's nothing we can do about it. Xiao Lu has been under a lot of pressure lately. She's very worried that she'll make the wrong decision and cause our revolutionary cause to come to an abrupt end."

Froststar slowly spoke:

"If it turns out that way, I'm afraid Xiaolu will never be able to forgive herself."

"You've worked hard too, Yelena. You must have put in a lot of effort. Judging from your appearance, you haven't had a good rest for several days," Wang Chong said, gently rubbing Froststar's head with affection.

"Hehe, after all, we need to break through those few days. As one of the aces of the Reunion Movement, I naturally have to go all out."

Froststar chuckled softly twice, then sighed:

"However, we relied more on the two Artoria sisters. If it weren't for their charging tactics, we probably wouldn't have been able to defeat the opponent so easily. It was also the two sisters who helped Lulu make up her mind to plan ahead."

"Was it Artoria's suggestion?"

Wang Chong was taken aback, then immediately understood. With Artoria's exceptional war sense, she had probably already foreseen that launching a war ahead of time and seizing the initiative was the optimal outcome.

"Well, let's go back to the main camp first... Also, let's give a shout-out to Jeanne Alter and this lady... what should we call them?"

Talulah naturally recognized Jeanne Alter, but Attila was a Servant she had only recently recruited, so she naturally found her a stranger.

"Her name is Attila, and she's a new companion I've gained this time. Her strength is no less than that of Artoria and the others, and she's also a formidable warrior," Wang Chong introduced.

“Please guide me…” Attila said slowly.

Chapter 204: The Integration Situation

After the introductions, Wang Chong continued his patrol with Talulah and Frostnova, and would soon return to the main camp. During the patrol, Wang Chong also took the opportunity to learn more about the current state of the Reunion Movement.

The main force of the Reunion Movement has now expanded its ranks and recruited mercenaries in strict accordance with the requirements, and its number has reached more than 20,000.

The original regiments expanded from four to eight. They are:

First is the Reunion elite led by Talulah. As one of the backbone forces of the Reunion Movement, they are basically composed of infected individuals, possessing powerful infected sorcerers and artillerymen. They are one of the core firepower forces of the entire Reunion Movement, currently totaling more than 5,000 people.

Then came the first and second assault regiments led by Artoria and Artoria [alter], mainly composed of spear-wielding charging warriors and Faust's scout battalion, responsible for acting as vanguards and scouts, to ascertain the enemy's strength and weaknesses, and to be ready to break through the enemy's formation at any time. The two regiments totaled more than five thousand men.
