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

“Of course I congratulate him! Congratulations to Lord Constantine on receiving such good news,” Belga said with a smile.

"You call this good news?" Constantine asked, staring coldly at Belga.

"Of course, didn't Lord Constantine find my weakness before? He said that the importance of this band of bandits is not as important as the border army defending the border."

Bergald paused, then smiled and said, "But what about now?"

“!!” Constantine stared sharply at Baikal, signaling him to continue.

"A bandit army that occupies three cities, one of which is a mobile city, and a bandit army that publicly executes empires and vows to overthrow the imperial regime. Heh, this is no ordinary bandit army."

Baikal stood up and slowly said, "Especially the fact that three cities were captured in less than a day. Such terrifying combat power, once such military intelligence is reported, do you think our Emperor will still blame us for transferring the border troops?"

"This is now a full-blown national war! When the crimes revealed by that bandit army bound us and His Majesty as enemies, there was no doubt that His Majesty could only rely on us to do his utmost to crush this band of thieves."

"As for whether the border has been breached, that is no longer within our scope of consideration. Rather, His Majesty should think about how to use diplomatic means to curb the enemy's ambitions."

"In that case, we nobles will have a great opportunity to achieve something. Hahaha, isn't this good news?"

After hearing Baikal's words, Constantine fell completely silent, while Georgy, unable to get a word in edgewise, could only wait for his father's decision.

“…Then let’s do it that way.” After a long silence, Constantine finally made his decision. Upon hearing this, Baikal laughed loudly, “Hahaha, I knew it! Lord Constantine has a keen eye for opportunity. Well then, I’ll wait at home for good news.”

Having said that, Baikal made a gesture of farewell and walked out with his guards.

"Wait..." Just as Baikal was about to walk out the door, Constantine called out to Baikal again.

"Is there anything else?" Baikal turned around with a smile and asked.

"...How did you learn of this information in advance?" Constantine asked in a deep voice. He only now realized that the reason Baikal hadn't answered earlier was because he was waiting for Georgy to bring back the news.

Therefore, it is quite strange that the other side knew about this military intelligence so early, considering that Georgy should have brought the news almost immediately.

"Hehe, don't underestimate my intelligence network, Lord Constantine... I've been in this snowfield for a long time."

When faced with Constantine's question, Baikal simply chuckled and gave an ambiguous answer.

Seeing that he couldn't extract any more information from Baikal, Constantine could only wave him away, indicating that he could leave. Baikal, quite pleased with himself, walked out of the hall and disappeared from Constantine's sight.

“...When did such a madman emerge from the noble faction?” After Baikal had been gone for a while, Constantine snorted coldly, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"Now, he's really tied us to his war machine, and we have no choice but to go for it... But I know Baikal very well; he's ruthless but lacks strategy. He never expected such a setup."

"Who exactly is behind him?!"

……

Back to the present, after Wang Chong helped Talulah handle some government affairs, he suddenly felt a slight stirring in his heart. His black mist power fluctuated, and someone was calling him.

"Oh? Is the layout already complete?"

After listening to Black Snake's report, Wang Chong said with some surprise.

"Of course, Belga successfully persuaded Duke Constantine yesterday, following the rhetoric I taught him. Now they have transferred the border troops and are preparing to assemble a full army of 700,000 to march towards our three northern cities."

The black snake slowly said:

"However, these 700,000 troops did not arrive at the same time. The 200,000 troops that Georgie had already begun to assemble and advance in the last week should have arrived. And it will be at least another half a month or so after that before the remaining 500,000 troops arrive."

"Heh, they're already preparing for a decisive battle. But unfortunately, I won't let them amass such a large force to attack our three cities."

Wang Chong sneered: "They underestimate the rebel forces in other parts of the Reunion Movement. The moment Reunion Movement officially declares war on Ursus, those scattered sparks of rebellion will be completely ignited!!"

Wang Chong has now switched his reputation title to "One Call, Hundred Responses". Not to mention the daily recruitment limit of 100 people guaranteed by reputation, the fact that the loyalty of newly joined members to the organization is locked at the maximum value for a week has greatly accelerated the conversion efficiency of civilians into soldiers.

Today, Wang Chong can clearly see that the number of troops in the Integration Movement is increasing by about a thousand people every day, and this number is still increasing rapidly as the number of people increases.

In addition, the success rate of attracting rare talents increased by 10%, recruiting key talents from various fields for the entire organization, making the foundation of the integration movement more solid and its operation more efficient.

Today, the number of soldiers in the Reunification Movement has reached more than 7, with their own side alone expanding to more than 4, double the number when they were sent to the Northeast Front.

Meanwhile, 3 integrated troops were scattered throughout the snowfields, ready to rise up at any time on Wang Chong's orders.

"The idea of ​​integration is now being hotly debated throughout the cities of the snowfield, and the integration movement is expanding at an increasingly rapid pace. It seems that some people have already started to hold demonstrations in the cities... At that time, the Third and Fourth Armies will continue to send more soldiers to suppress the protests in order to prevent their own backyard from turning into a fire."

The black snake spoke slowly.

"What about Chernobog? As the industrial city chosen by His Majesty the Emperor to revitalize the entire empire, how is it doing now?" Wang Chong asked slowly.

"His Majesty the Emperor's decree will probably soon reach these cities, especially after Baikal and those old noble forces find out. Then there will be a real bloody crackdown... But the consequences of the crackdown, those who know, know."

The black snake slowly said, "The people have long been complaining... This will only become the noose that hangs Ursus, or the fuse that will completely ignite the collapse of the Ursus Empire."

"Then it's time for me to set off..."

Wang Chong stood up and slowly said:

"Those who carry firewood for the masses should not be left to freeze to death in the wind and snow. Since the people of Chernobog have chosen this path, they should not be ruthlessly suppressed, leaving only their broken bodies and this so-called glory of changing the course of history."

“They deserve to live and enjoy this honor. Whether as the first citizens of the city to take this step or as a repayment for my personal desires, they all deserve my protection.”

“You are so merciful…” the black snake said, bowing deeply.

"Heh, I thought you'd call me a hypocrite," Wang Chong said with a slight smile.

"Whether it's hypocrisy or compassion, which side one leans towards depends on what one does, not what one says, or what one is plotting." (The last part, "你林想梅你空你林在在没呢," is a nonsensical string of characters and doesn't translate directly. It's likely a result of OCR errors.)

The black serpent remained bowed and said, "You protected their lives and led them to victory; for them, this is mercy."

Wang Chong smiled without saying a word, then shut down Black Snake's communications.

Chapter 236: Taking People Away

Regarding the defense of the three cities, Wang Chong believed that the integration movement, which had experienced numerous wars, was now prepared to withstand an attack by an army of 200,000.

Moreover, it's not that I wasn't prepared. Lin, do you have time? Lin, are you there yet...?

He spent 6 reputation points to create two elite legions of 3000 each for Jeanne Alter and Attila. They will serve as two powerful surprise forces, changing the course of the war at crucial moments.

In addition, the previous series of victories had yielded a large amount of military supplies. After capturing the three cities, the investigation and seizure of the wealth and assets of the nobles within those cities would be enough to support the Reunion Movement's various material purchases.

Naturally, Wang Chong was chosen to be the porter, since he was currently the only one capable of breaking through the defenses and making purchases between the two locations at the fastest speed.

Finally, the people of the three cities have seen that the new order established by the integration movement is stable enough, and that a large number of parasites and corrupt officials in the eyes of the people have been brought down.

The Reunion Movement also provided the city's inhabitants with sufficient food and land, and more importantly, ensured the welfare of a large number of workers who smelted precious metals, Originium, and military equipment, and provided a large number of jobs for them.

It can be said that the hearts and minds of the people in the three cities have now been won over, and many former Ursus villagers and city residents have enthusiastically joined the ranks of those fighting against the Ursus tyranny.

They may not be able to be on the battlefield, but the food they produce, the weapons they manufacture, and the help they give the Reunion Movement members in digging out battle lines all provide tremendous human and material assistance.

……

"Now that everything is on track, it's time for me to open up new fronts elsewhere."

Wang Chong explained the situation to Talulah, who had already woken up, and then gave her instructions:

"I will take some people with me to go and integrate the rebel forces in various places. First, to see if there are any difficulties I can help with, and second, to find a way to disperse the 500,000 troops that will be assembled later as much as possible."

"Are you leaving again?" Talulah sighed. Of course, she wouldn't stop you, because she knew very well that if the entire 700,000-strong army pressed in, even if the Reunion Movement could win, they would inevitably suffer a huge blow and lose control of the snowfield in a short period of time.

In particular, it is said that the Third and Fourth Armies have actually transferred their troops stationed on the border, which could very likely cause the neighboring Eastern Kingdom or the Great Yan to covet the border lands of Ursus.

Once they and the Ursus army are both severely weakened, the entire snowfield will likely be unable to resist invasions from other countries.

"Well, these three cities are now in your hands. I've already instructed Attila and Jeanne d'Arc to follow your orders," Wang Chong said slowly.

"Alright, but you should also tell Yelena about this. Otherwise, she'll keep nagging me about it."

Talulah nodded, then asked, "By the way, who are you planning to take with you?"

……

"Hey—why didn't Albion take me with him? I want to see other places too!"

Arcueid clung to Wang Chong's arm and said coquettishly, "Come with me! I've never seen what a city like here without snow is like."

At this moment, the special forces personnel were basically assembled here. Jeanne Alter, seeing Arcueid's coquettish expression, leaned down and asked the black-haired Saber Artoria [alter] beside her:

"I just went to train those knights, so I'm a bit late. What happened?"

"Ah Chong is preparing to lead a group to cities in the central and southern parts of the snowfield to support some Reunion Movement forces. The group consists of Albion, Skadi, Specter, and Surtr."

Black Saber King said, "To put it bluntly, it's about taking away the special forces members who haven't taken command yet and like to work alone. But Arcueid is the only one left out, which is causing trouble."

"Uh..." Jeanne Alter finally understood what was going on; Arcueid had been subjected to "American-style bullying."

The lone wolf members of the special forces team will be traveling south with Wang Chong... Guess who wasn't invited—you! Arcueid.

"Hmm, that's not right. Given how much Master usually likes Arcueid, it shouldn't be like this, right?" Jeanne Alter asked, puzzled.

"Because Arcueid has always been the strongest among us, Wang Chong can leave with peace of mind with her here. To put it bluntly, Arcueid is here to prevent any other unexpected events from happening."

Blackie slowly said:

"To put it bluntly, the people who stay here are the ones Ah Chong values ​​most. Because this is his base of operations in this world. On the contrary, haven't you noticed that, apart from Albion, none of these four have any particularly close relationships with Ah Chong?"

"So, Masters can only rely on someone like me."

These days, because Wang Chong specially built a powerful legion for her, it's practically a game-changer in this world. She's been showing off quite a bit in front of the other Servants, especially in front of her emotional nemesis—Alter Alter.

"Heh heh, really? Then I'm really looking forward to seeing how you perform, Alter Jeanne. Don't disappoint me." Alter Jeanne's lips curled up slightly, her tone laced with provocation.

"Waaah... It's not like you're missing me, just take me with you." On the other side, Arcueid was still acting cute towards Wang Chong, which moved Wang Chong.

“Arquette, I also want to take you with me, but right now, the Reunion Movement needs someone who can keep things in check.”

Wang Chong sighed and said, "Your strength speaks for itself, and everyone trusts you completely."

“But I wasn’t there before, and nothing happened,” Arcueid pouted and said.

"Master, let Arcueid go with them. I'll be in charge of monitoring the entire city, so it'll be impossible for those guards to sneak in." At this moment, Black Alice's voice rang in Wang Chong's mind.

“Besides, there are already five Servants who have arrived. With them here, there’s not much to worry about,” Black Alice said slowly.

“…Alright, Arcueid, then you can come with me.” Seeing that Black Alice had persuaded him so much, Wang Chong finally agreed.

"Hehe! I knew Chong was the best to me." Upon hearing this, Arcueid happily threw herself into Wang Chong's arms and kissed him on the face for a while.

Then, Arcueid whispered in Wang Chong's ear, "Don't worry~ Since you've agreed to my request, I'll turn a blind eye to whatever you want to do to those four~"

"You... you even included Albion in your calculations, she's still a baby dragon." Wang Chong tapped Arcueid's little head and said.

"Hmph, what dragon baby, it's clearly..." Arcueid turned her head away and muttered softly.

"Hmm, what is it?" Wang Chong asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing. Okay, I agree~" Arcueid smiled, let go of her hand, and sat back down in her seat.

This scene was still witnessed and remembered by a certain heartless red-haired "grandmother" licking an ice pop. Surtr already knew perfectly well that she would no longer be swayed by that scumbag's nasty words.

This time, the other party took her away, which conveniently separated her from those entangled vixens. She wanted to take this opportunity to ask them questions and clarify the nature of her relationship with the other party.

On the other side, Ren Dong, who was eager to try, was slightly disappointed when she heard that she was not among the people she was leading this time.

Ever since that night when they became a couple, Ren Dong felt a change in her heart. She craved Wang Chong more and more, especially after his true form returned, and not long after, they had another passionate encounter.

After months of suppressing her physical desires, once released, she became increasingly unable to control herself. She knew perfectly well that this was wrong, yet she remained obsessed.

Now that the other party is leaving again, she doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. She just feels a little disappointed.

"Lady Honeysuckle, I'll also need to trouble you to keep an eye on the children. Although Musashi can protect their safety, I'll have to trouble you to take care of their daily needs."

At that moment, Wang Chong happened to be talking to Ren Dong, who was deep in thought.

"Ah, oh... don't worry. After all, they're in the same group as my child. I'll naturally take good care of them." When Ren Dong heard that she was being called, she came to her senses, nodded repeatedly, and said.

Now, her child Suzuran is highly skilled in Originium Arts, so Suzuran herself wants to join the army to use her skills.

Honeysuckle didn't want things to turn out this way, but Lily of the Valley was very firm in her stance, saying that she was always grateful to everyone in the Reunion Movement for teaching her skills and protecting her, and that this was what she should repay them for.

Moreover, it's possible that seeing Rin Tohsaka and others who were around her age on the front lines inspired her to think that she could do it too.

In the end, Ren Dong couldn't persuade her child otherwise. Seeing how determined her daughter was, she had no choice but to let her give it a try. So she approached Wang Chong, hoping to be placed in a team with sufficient security.

As a result, Suzuran was assigned to Rin Tohsaka's group, and they quickly became close friends.

It just so happens that taking care of the children in the family is a good fit for Ren Dong, which also relieves Musashi's burden.

"I've prepared the 'medicine' that Lily of the Valley needs. I'll be away for a long time during this period, so I'm entrusting it to you just in case."

Wang Chong approached Ren Dong and handed her two test tubes containing golden blood. He then spoke in a voice only Ren Dong could hear:

"Ingrid, take good care of them. I will reward you when you come back."

Honeysuckle's delicate body trembled slightly, then she revealed a charming smile, nodded, and softly hummed in agreement.
