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

Then, Wang Chong enveloped the materials in black mist and returned to the craftsmen once more. He then led them to a factory near the mining area.

After placing some of the practice materials in the factory area, Wang Chong turned to the craftsmen present and said:

"Our Reunion Movement is quite lucky. There are some small processing plants near these mining areas that are used to smelt Originium ore. They are also mostly equipped with the necessary tools and equipment."

"The only thing we need to be careful about are those blast furnaces that have already smelted Originium ore. This is not only because of the impurities, but more importantly, because we are worried about the harm that Originium dust will cause to everyone's health."

"Although I know you've all contracted Oripathy, that doesn't mean you can ignore the Originium dust. It will worsen your condition. Therefore, you must strictly follow the previously issued safety operating procedures. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone nodded vigorously at that moment.

"Alright, let's begin now." Wang Chong nodded slightly. Under his arrangement, everyone received roughly the same amount of materials and began manufacturing according to the knowledge in their minds.

After watching the craftsmen get to work, Wang Chong finally felt relieved and left the factory.

...Where's Lin Yong? Are you free? Is Lin Zaizai free?...

"How are the children doing these days?"

Around noon, Wang Chong looked at Musashi, who was devouring udon noodles, and asked him a question.

"...Hmm? The children? Don't worry, don't worry, there's been basically no fighting since that battle in the mining area. They mostly train with others on weekdays."

After swallowing what was in his mouth, Musashi truthfully recounted what Tenrin, Sakura, and the other children had done.

After several small-scale battles, the children had begun to adapt to the battlefield environment. Therefore, in the final battle not long ago, the girls were assigned to the vanguard.

Similarly, Wang Chong also assigned them to the Second Assault Company of Ryougi Shiki, and Musashi happened to be their squad leader.

Similarly, Wang Chong also assigned them to the Second Assault Company of Ryougi Shiki, and Musashi happened to be their squad leader.

"Your contributions will be acknowledged for now, after all, these kids still need to hone their leadership skills. I'm afraid you'll be sitting in the squad leader position for quite some time."

"It's alright, it's alright. Commanders at the rank of squad leader or above have far fewer opportunities to personally engage in combat. They mainly focus on command and cannot personally take risks. I think I can still hone my skills on the battlefield."

Musashi said with a smile:

"This is truly an interesting world. Even the most ordinary enemies here are at least second-rate samurai level. Combined with their coordinated multi-person combat style... Phew, you could easily fall into their trap if you're not careful."

"However, the lord's soldiers are also quite brave. Many of them are as strong as Musashibo Benkei in terms of physical strength alone."

"It seems you really like this world," Wang Chong couldn't help but say.

"To say I like it wouldn't be that much. After all, while the era of war and strife is indeed the best time for us warriors to show our skills, for most people, a chaotic world is not a good word."

Musashi sipped the broth, drank it all in one gulp, and then smiled contentedly, saying:

"If I could, I would prefer to have a mansion in a peaceful world after I have achieved fame and success, where I can enjoy delicious food and teach some disciples to pass on my martial arts skills."

"The rest is to continue honing your martial arts skills and reach a higher level. After all, the way of the sword has no end."

After finishing his meal, Musashi clasped his hands together, smiled, and thanked them, saying, "Phew~ Thank you for your hospitality, Master. I will continue to take good care of them from now on~"

After Musashi had been gone for a while, Wang Chong looked towards the door and said, "Come in and tell me your opinion of her."

"He seems a bit eccentric, but he's reliable enough when it comes to important matters."

Artoria went inside; she had clearly been listening outside for a while.

"Also, she must have noticed me; she glanced at me out of the corner of her eye as she left," Artoria said slowly.

"It's alright. You're her direct superior, so it's perfectly normal for you to scrutinize her. She should be aware of that too," Wang Chong waved his hand and then said.

"More than a week has passed in the blink of an eye. It feels like it went by much faster than when we were messing around at the singularity."

“Yes, we’ve actually gotten quite used to it here.” Artoria nodded, then asked, “Now that things have calmed down in the mining area, shouldn’t we attack those cities next and completely control the entire northern part of the Eastern Snowfield?”

"Yes, Sasha led his men to sneak into Ural City, the closest city to here, a week ago. They are contacting the Integrative Tribe in the city so that they can cooperate with us from the inside to annihilate the city's defenses and take control of the town."

Wang Chong nodded and said:

"In addition, I plan to send Ethan to lie in wait in the Birch City, waiting for the right opportunity. Finally, we will concentrate our main forces to take over New Tver, the only mobile city!"

"Fighting on three fronts? Isn't that a bit too risky?" Artoria frowned.

"We must take risks and not give the Third and Fourth Armies too much time to react and assemble."

Wang Chong said in a deep voice, "Only by taking Ural City and Birch City as soon as possible can we form a pincer movement to resist invading enemies and gain a firm foothold."

"The mobile city of New Tver is of paramount importance! Once we possess a mobile city, it will not only be a devastating blow to attacking other immobile cities, but we can also maintain our advantage against other mobile cities."

"Therefore, I must take these three cities, the sooner the better!"

Chapter 224: Gossip from Huang

On the southwestern border of the snowfields of the eastern Ursus region, a giant mobile ship was moored at the edge of a boulder.

That is the main body of Rhodes Island, and also the base of the medical organization called Rhodes Island.

Rhodes Island's operators are currently extremely busy. The conflict among the infected in Ursus has completely erupted, and Rhodes Island, whose mission is to save the infected, is facing immense pressure.

"Ha, how did the entire Ursus snowfield become such a mess? I've been running around like crazy these past few days... Huang, Huang, could you please take that file that's in the third drawer to me..."

A man holding a giant shield and wearing sunglasses sighed, then subconsciously called out.

“Ace, I think you’re too busy to think straight. Huang has been busy with the Reunion Movement the whole time and hasn’t been back to Rhodes Island for three months.”

At this moment, a Sarkaz carrying a sniper rifle and wearing a mask to cover his face came out and handed over the files that Ace needed.

"Oh, thanks Scout... Sigh, I'm used to it. Speaking of which, Huang's been gone a little too long, hasn't he?" (The last part is a separate, unrelated question: "You Lin Mei Yongyong, do you Lin Zai Zai have time to spare yet...")

Ace took the file Scout handed her and flipped through it, continuing to murmur:

"Three months...wait, I remember Amiya's contract with Reunion was for three months, right? That contract has long expired!"

“You just realized this? Amiya discussed this in a meeting yesterday. But it’s normal that you didn’t know since you just got back,” Scout said slowly, sitting down beside her.

"So... what exactly happened?" Ace put down the file and asked.

“What else could it be… it’s just the uprising in the Eastern Snowfields right now.” Scout shook his head and said, “It’s said that the Ursus army discovered something, and as a result, the villagers and the infected had no choice but to join forces and start an uprising.”

"The entire snowfield is in chaos now. The army group is conducting a large-scale search and suppression of those uprising groups... Don't be fooled by the fact that there aren't many people in each place. But if you add them up one after another, there are already tens of thousands of people just from Rhodes Island."

"What did you say? Tens of thousands of people? It's already reached this scale?" Ace said with a serious expression. "Then I think I understand. The entire passageway to the snowfield has probably been cut off. No wonder I received the order to retreat to Rhodes Island headquarters yesterday."

“Yes, Huang’s Reunion headquarters is located deep in the mountains of the northwestern part of the Eastern Snowfield, which is across the entire Eastern Snowfield from Rhodes Island. It’s impossible for Huang to come back on her own,” Scout said slowly.

"Hiss—those guys couldn't have done it on purpose, could they?" Ace couldn't help but say.

"If that were the case, Amiya would have brought Huang back even if it meant taking a risk. In reality, the situation was quite the opposite. Before the roads were blocked, Huang and Amiya were exchanging letters."

Scout slowly said, "Judging from the contents of the letters that were made public at yesterday's meeting, Huang is doing very well in the Reunion Movement. He has even become the captain of a hundred-man squad."

"Huh? A captain of a hundred? With her reckless personality?" Ace's eyes widened, looking incredulous.

"What's so surprising? You have no idea how fast that organization called Reunion is developing, and it has countless powerful members. It's arguably the fastest-growing infected organization we've ever encountered."

Scout shook his head and said:

"Therefore, it's not surprising that Huang can lead so many people. Given her abilities, it's normal for her to be assigned so many people. And don't underestimate Huang. She may seem reckless, but that doesn't mean she's not thoughtful."

Ace leaned back in his chair and sighed:

"Hey... 100 people, I feel like if Huang comes back, she'll brag about it endlessly... Hmm, will she even come back? The treatment there is so good, and she's doing the very thing that crazy girl has always wanted to do."

Upon hearing Ace's question, Scout looked around to make sure no one was around, and then whispered, "It's really hard to say."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Noticing that Scout was deliberately lowering his voice, Ace seemed to realize something and quickly came closer, asking in a low voice.

“Didn’t I just say that Amiya released some of her letters with Hoshino?” Scout said.

"What's wrong?"

"The key lies in those unpublished letters... cough cough, according to reliable inside information, one of those letters contains a gossipy private matter concerning Huang that should not be made public."

After Scout finished speaking, he looked around again and, after making sure no one was in the office, whispered, "The letter said... Huang, she's in love."

"thump"

Ace nearly fell off his chair. His eyes widened in disbelief. "You...you mean Huang? She's in love? Does that guy even know what love is?" he exclaimed.

Scout shrugged and said.

"What the hell? That person was the one who made her stay there as a laborer, how come she likes him now? Are you sure Huang is doing well, and not just suffering from some kind of Stockholm syndrome?" Ace asked with a look of disbelief.

"According to reliable sources, Amiya personally went to confirm this matter. It is said that after Amiya returned that time, she did not leave her room for several days, as if she had suffered some kind of shock. It was Dr. Kal'tsit who provided some psychological counseling."

Scout sighed and said, "However, although it was a shock, the conclusion is that Huang has indeed genuinely fallen in love with the other person. Even Dr. Kal'tsit has confirmed this."

"Where did you get these reliable sources from...? The more I listen, the more I feel that this is definitely not a secret that can be openly shared," Ace asked, sounding a little flustered.

“Sigh, who else could it be but Kroos and Warfarin?” Scout said.

"That's alright... I remember a month ago when I was preparing to go on a mission, I saw the two of them hanging outside. At the time, I wondered what they had done to anger Dr. Kal'tsit."

Ace breathed a sigh of relief, then tilted her head back and said:

"Well, although I thought that girl Huang would find her own happiness sooner or later, I didn't expect this day to come so soon. It seems that she probably won't be coming back to Rhodes Island."

“But…the Reunion Movement, Scout, do you really think they can defeat the Ursus army group?” Ace asked.

"..." Faced with Ace's question, Scout unusually remained silent. And Ace, understanding the situation, refrained from pressing the matter further.

Because they both knew that this problem itself represented Rhodes Island's biggest confusion and uncertainty at present.

……

Rhode Island Medical Center

"Alright, Amiya, there's nothing seriously wrong with your body for now." Kal'tsit, who had just finished examining Amiya, breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the data on the report was normal, and then looked at Amiya and said.

"Hmm. By the way, Kal'tsit, what have you thought about that matter?" Amiya put on her coat and, instead of getting out of bed, looked at Kal'tsit and asked.

"Which one are you referring to?" Kal'tsit put down the report in her hand, looked at Amiya seriously, and asked.

“Both of them,” Amiya said with certainty.

“Ha…” Kal'tsit sighed, then looked at Amiya seriously and said, “Amiya, you have already checked it yourself, so why do you still believe him and them?”

"The current integration movement is courting disaster. Even though they have occupied the mining areas, it's still insignificant to a country."

"Moreover, that mining area will not only not bring them any profit, but it is also a deadly bomb. If the mining issue is not resolved properly, their so-called ideals will become the knife that kills them."

"Then... Kal'tsit, how about we make another bet? This time, let's bet on whether they can successfully resolve this matter."

Amiya said earnestly:

"If they can resolve the issues of the mines and the infected, then Rhodes Island will join the Reunion Movement in the upcoming battle in the Eastern Snowfield. Otherwise, we will continue as we are."

"...Why do you have such confidence in them?" Kal'tsit asked after a moment of silence.

"Intuition... and then there's this problem, not just for them, but for all of us who share the same ideals, sooner or later we'll all have to face this problem: how to prevent the emergence of a large number of infected people from the root cause..."

Amiya said slowly, "If they can solve this, wouldn't that mean they're already ahead of our ideal path? If that's the case, why can't we follow them?"

Chapter 225: Amiya's Further Instruction

After hearing Amiya's explanation, Kal'tsit remained silent for a long time before finally sighing, nodding, and saying:

“You’ve convinced me. Fine, then I’ll bet with Amiya this time. If they can resolve this issue, then they do indeed have the potential for deeper cooperation.”

"Well, let's wait and see. I remember the Reunion rebels in other places are also waiting for this news. Our Rhodes Island operators will be able to find out the situation as soon as possible."

Amiya smiled and nodded, saying:

“Alright, now that I’ve convinced Kal’tsit on the first thing, then… the second thing…”

“Do it yourself,” Kal'tsit said abruptly.

"Huh?" The expected opposition did not appear, leaving Amiya with her prepared remarks stuck in her throat.

“It’s strange, isn’t it? I agreed so quickly.” Kal’tsit looked at Amiya with some tenderness, and then slowly said, “Actually, ever since that time we went through the Reunion Movement together, I’ve thought about a lot of things.”

"Perhaps I have to admit that although I have extensive knowledge, I lack the qualities of an excellent leader. In this respect, Amiya, you are better than me."

“Kal'tsit…” Amiya paused, staring intently at the other person.

"So, Amiya, do whatever you want. Whether it's arranging operations, making plans, or moving personnel..."

Kal'tsit slowly began to speak:

"I have only two requests... First, don't do it too early; you need to be fully prepared. Second, I will not participate in this operation."

“Kal’tsit, you…” Amiya was about to persuade her when she saw Kal’tsit shake her head, turn around, and say, “Just consider it as satisfying my selfish desire, okay? I’m not… ready to see her.”

Upon hearing this, Amiya said nothing more, but simply hugged Kal'tsit from behind, and then said, "I know Kal'tsit. But please believe me, I won't repeat the same mistake... and I also believe in the Doctor..."
