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

Amiya found it strange. Usually, Wang Chong would lecture her for a while before leaving. Why was he leaving so quickly today?

Wang Chong didn't explain, but just walked towards a certain address with a slight smile.

Chapter 451 The Lost Main City of Jakunitz

As evening fell, Wang Chong cleaned up Yato's body, which was covered in his magic and had passed out from satisfaction, and then covered him with a blanket.

"Ding—Your plan has succeeded. You have successfully educated Yato and made her willingly become the host's mistress. Reward: 200 villain points."

"Your current villain value is 55500 points. Your current reputation value is 145 million."

In fact, back when they were on the city wall, Wang Chong had already used the passive ability of the "Time Management Master" to give Yato several days and nights of training at different time flow rates.

He even cleaned his body repeatedly in the process, and because of Yato's physical condition, he had to rely on Wang Chong's mana replenishment to avoid hunger and malnutrition.

Therefore, the moment Blackhorn arrived, Yato's body and mind had already been almost completely corrupted by Wang Chong, just one step away from completion. She obediently followed Wang Chong's instructions, took the opportunity to leave, and then rested at home for a while, waiting for his return.

According to Yato, during the time Wang Chong was handling official business, Blackhorn came to see her once, wanting to take care of her, but she turned him away.

After all, she didn't want Blackhorn to see her belly full of other people's seeds and then overflowing.

The time Wang Chong gave Yato to rest was precisely to allow Yato to think clearly about the life choices he needed to make in the future: whether to treat everything as if it had never happened and was merely an accident; or to completely submit and become one of Wang Chong's secret lovers.

The final result needs no further explanation.

"But I still don't understand, what's with your definition of 'married woman'? Does having a boyfriend automatically make someone a married woman? That's a pretty broad definition."

After covering Ye Dao with the bedding, Wang Chong asked.

"It doesn't mean that having a boyfriend makes her a wife. Rather, it means that the boyfriend she currently has will actually become her husband in the future. Only then can she be considered a wife-to-be."

The system notified:

"If a female character has a boyfriend, but that boyfriend will not become her husband in a future timeline, then she will not be considered a prospective wife; she will simply be a girl with a boyfriend."

"Take 'Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend' as an example. All three heroines have had some kind of relationship with the male lead, but only Megumi Kato can be considered a potential wife, not Eriri or Utaha Kasumigaoka. Do you understand?"

"Got it, so when can I go into the world of this slice-of-life anime?" Wang Chong couldn't help but complain.

"I'm afraid that's difficult... These slice-of-life anime worlds can no longer bring you any clear benefits... However, there is a way that allows you to romance female characters in certain worlds without having to enter them?"

"That's what the system said."

"Oh? What method?" Wang Chong asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, please keep your expectations high, because you'll actually be able to experience it soon," the system said with a wink and a smile.

"You're keeping us in suspense again..." Wang Chong was used to the system keeping things mysterious, so he didn't say much.

However, since the system says it will be available soon, it must be related to my main quest. After all, the closest thing to me is to eliminate the Third and Fourth Army Groups.

"Hmm, I almost forgot that I still need to spend 1 reputation points on the Group Strategy command. At the current rate, I should be able to catch up in less than three days."

Wang Chong thought to himself.

……

In fact, only two days had passed when Wang Chong used this command.

As for the reason, it was that Constantine's warship malfunctioned for some reason, which greatly slowed down the warship's forward speed, so that they were quickly overtaken by the Reunion Movement.

For a time, the two sides entered a stalemate again.

Constantine could only urge the central region to gather more people to provide support and urgently report the battle to the Imperial Council.

In his battle report, he informed the parliament that the combined forces of the north and south had now joined together, and that he was unable to hold off these two united forces alone. He requested the Imperial Parliament to quickly send the Fifth and Seventh Armies to provide support.

However, Constantine knew very well that even if they won the war, given his current performance, he would face a death sentence upon returning. He was prepared to die on the battlefield, determined to defend the few remaining cities in the south at all costs.

However, things never go as planned.

"What did you say?! A mutiny broke out in the main city of Yakunitz, and those rioters completely occupied the city?!"

When Constantine heard the tip from the operator, he almost fainted from anger.

"Are the city garrisons of the Third Army Group all fucking useless? They can't even defend a single city! That's the crucial main city of Yakunitz! Whether we can get from the Eastern Region to the Central Region depends entirely on that city! I've stationed 20,000 men there!"

"(Ursus curses)!! Twenty thousand men, and they can't even hold a city? What use are these insects to me? Let them all die on the battlefield!!"

Constantine was furious. He never expected that his most important town, the only gateway city back to the central region of Ursus, would slip out of his control like this.

"What exactly happened! Tell me!" Constantine roared in fury.

"Marshal! It's because some bastard got drunk at the armory and triggered the Originium crops inside, causing the entire armory to explode. Not only did many people die, but most of their weapons were also destroyed."

The operator quickly produced the telegram and explained:

"Moreover, the explosion caused a fire in the camp, and everyone went to put it out. Someone leaked the news, and the city's long-suppressed citizens seized the opportunity to mutinied!"

"There are also many unifying forces at play here; they've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time... Our army first lost a large number of weapons, and then was disrupted by the fire, so we were caught off guard and the city was taken over by these mobs..."

"Useless! You're all fucking useless!"

Constantine couldn't bear to listen anymore after hearing only half of it. Drunkenness leading to disaster and a fire—it was as if even the heavens were against him, deliberately sending such a person to cause him to lose his most important city.

However, it was too late to berate the operator. The mistake had been made, and the city had been lost. The main city of Yakunitz was not only located along the river connecting the central and eastern regions, but it was also where Constantine's army stored grain.

Now that the city has fallen, they have less than half a month's worth of food left. Continuing the stalemate with the reorganization will only lead to their demise.

"Has the problem with the warship not been found yet?!" Constantine asked the maintenance personnel in a deep voice.

"We've found the problem, but it's expected to take at least two or three days to fix," the maintenance team leader said, sweating profusely.

"Two or three days...we'll have to stay here for another two or three days!" Constantine clenched his fists and said, "Two or three days...I'm afraid the main city of Yakunitz will already be prepared to fight our army!"

"Marshal, why don't we send troops from other cities to retake the main city of Yakunitz?" the staff officer suggested.

"And then wait for other cities to mutini? What's the difference between that and blocking our escape route?! It's like robbing Peter to pay Paul, and in the end, it's all for nothing," Constantine roared.

The staff officer fell silent, too terrified to offer any further suggestions.

Constantine was furious to see everyone fall silent. But even if someone else were in charge, they couldn't change the terrible situation. [The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.]

"How long until the main force from the central region arrives?" Constantine asked in a deep voice.

"It will probably take about ten more days," a general said.

“We can’t wait any longer… Even if we wait until they arrive in ten days, we won’t have any extra food… Once the warships are repaired, we’ll leave!” Constantine said in a deep voice.

"Go? Where to? To the main city of Yakunitz?" the staff officer couldn't help but ask.

“The main city of Yakunitz is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is equipped with a lot of heavy weapons for external attacks... Now that those remnants of the reunification have led those mobs to occupy the city, those heavy weapons have naturally fallen into their hands.”

Constantine shook his head and said:

"If they fought to the death, they could easily hold out for more than ten days... while our army was caught in a pincer movement. In the end, our troops either died from lack of food or were surrounded and killed by them."

“Our only way out now lies in the central cities,” Constantine said in a deep voice.

"The Central Region?" Everyone present was speechless. Some even said, "But Marshal, didn't you say that going to the Central Region is a slow death, and that we'll be integrated and wiped out sooner or later?"

“Times have changed… In the past, we had to take over the southern cities to avoid the Northern Integration Army and prevent being surrounded by the two armies. That’s why we didn’t stay in the central cities and chose to take the initiative to attack the southern city cluster.”

Constantine said, "But now, the Union army, in order to support the Confederate army, has crossed the entire central region to the battlefield... We are now forced to face an attack from both forces..."

"Since we can't avoid it, we can only return to our home ground... We still have our granaries in the central region, and our last few troops can join us there."

"Even if we don't win, we can at least delay their conquest of the entire territory until the Fifth and Seventh Armies arrive."

"Now, all we can do is try our best to survive!"

Hearing Constantine say this, these people could only remain silent. They were now almost at their wits' end.

In a corner they overlooked, a graceful figure slowly walked away and disappeared. Only after she was far from the conference room did she remove her hood.

The other party raised their right hand, and a wisp of black mist appeared. A voice then rang in her mind:

"How's it going, Ascalon?"

“As you predicted, after losing the main city of Yakunitz, they planned to retreat to the central cities and hide there,” Ascalon said.

"Hmm... just as I thought. You continue to lie low, and leave enough coverts on both warships. Await my further instructions."

Wang Chong said in a deep voice, "Then wait for the crucial moment to completely destroy the warship's power and weapon systems. Kill the general-level officers on board. I will have mon3tr assist you then."

"Yes..." Ascalon replied softly before hanging up.

Chapter 452 Educating the Four Little Ones

Everything proceeded in an orderly manner under Wang Chong's meticulous planning.

He had previously instructed Ascalon to carry out precise and limited damage to the enemy ship's propulsion system, causing it to be overtaken by the Reunion Movement while fleeing back to the northern capital, thus plunging both sides back into a stalemate on the battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Chong decisively spent 10,000 reputation points and successfully instigated a large-scale popular uprising in the main city of Yakunitz.

The change of allegiance in this crucial city completely severed his path to a safe retreat. Constantine was now in dire straits.

If Wang Chong chooses to fight the Integrated Army to the bitter end, he only needs to rely on a defensive strategy of delaying tactics, patiently waiting for the enemy's supplies to run out, and he can secure victory without bloodshed.

If Constantine were to choose to divide his forces to suppress the rebellion in the main city of Yakunitz, it would be tantamount to cutting off his own arm. It should be understood that the fortified fortress was by no means easily breached; it would require at least 100,000 elite troops in a valiant assault to have any chance of taking it.

A force of this size, whether drawn from his own troops or from the garrisons of other precarious southern cities, would be fatal:

Either Wang Chong's integrated army seized the opportunity of Constantine's insufficient forces to defeat them one by one, or it triggered a chain of unrest in other southern cities, ultimately leading to Constantine's complete loss of control over the entire southern Xinjiang region.

If Constantine chooses to withdraw along the entire front and retreat towards the Central Region, his return journey will inevitably pass by the city of Yakunitz.

At that time, the main force of the Reunification Movement and the mutinous insurgents in the city will form a pincer movement. Constantine's Third and Fourth Armies will be caught in a dead end, unable to defend themselves from both sides and unable to escape.

The only path that seemed to allow him to prolong his life for a while was to retreat to the cities in the central region. At least that would allow him to unite all his forces and hold onto the few remaining cities.

However, in the long run, it is also a dead end. The only slim chance of survival lies in his ability to hold out long enough for the reinforcements sent by the Ursus Emperor to arrive.

But how could Wang Chong's meticulously woven trap allow him to delay until reinforcements arrive? From the moment he infiltrated Ascalon's ranks, there was no possibility of further delay...

It can be said that from the moment the flames of rebellion were ignited in the main city of Yakunitz and they broke away from Constantine's control, the fate of these two massive army groups was already sealed on the sand table devised by Wang Chong.

No matter how much Constantine struggled, he could not escape his doom.

"The day their remnants gather in one place will be the time for us to close the net and wipe them out completely."

Wang Chong lightly tapped the edge of the sand table with his fingertips, and calmly addressed all the senior generals present:

"Now that the fighting in the southern part of the Eastern Region has temporarily ended, it is a good opportunity for us to sweep away the remaining enemies and consolidate the foundation of our newly acquired territory."

"Don't forget, our enemy is not just the Third and Fourth Armies, but the entire Ursus. Every step we take now is preparing for the future."

……

Time flies like an arrow, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Constantine managed to repair the warships and, under the cover of night, fled hastily towards the central region. In doing so, he even cruelly abandoned the troops still stationed in the southern cities.

The roar of the warship's engines was particularly jarring in the silent night sky, and naturally could not escape the eyes and ears of the Integration Army.

However, Wang Chong deliberately let this go unchecked and did not stop it. Once the enemy's main force had completely withdrawn from the southern region like frightened birds, the integrated army immediately launched a swift and fierce attack on the leaderless southern cities, sweeping away all obstacles like a whirlwind.

The defending troops, having lost their leader, lost all morale and surrendered under the overwhelming force of Wang Chong's army.

In less than a week, the vast lands of the southern part of the Eastern Region, along with all its cities, had been brought under the control of Wang Chong's consolidated forces.

The new policy was quickly implemented, like a spring breeze. The efficient wartime rationing system ensured the rational distribution of resources.

Large-scale land reclamation and production expansion plans were carried out simultaneously with the tireless forging of military equipment, accumulating strength for subsequent campaigns.

Meanwhile, celebrations and performances aimed at uniting people and boosting morale are in full swing across the country.

The entire region controlled by the unified forces is brimming with vitality and possesses a strong sense of unity.

The strategic focus has clearly shifted to the central region, with the integrated army's northern and southern forces preparing for battle and beginning to work together to steadily advance towards the last remaining forces of the Third and Fourth Army Groups.

Magic Workshop

"...The above are the mysteries and laws governing the flow of true ether between heaven and earth."

Holding a piece of chalk, Wang Chong traced complex and mysterious runes on the blackboard.

At the same time, magic gathered in his palm, and a wisp of pure true ether energy, under his exquisite control, transformed into an invisible thread that was almost transparent yet shimmered with a faint light, gently swaying and flowing in mid-air as he explained.

At the same time, magic gathered in his palm, and a wisp of pure true ether energy, under his exquisite control, transformed into an invisible thread that was almost transparent yet shimmered with a faint light, gently swaying and flowing in mid-air as he explained.

"The magicians of the Age of Gods were powerful not entirely because of their exceptional talent, but also because their environment was permeated with a rich ether."

Wang Chong's voice echoed in the quiet workshop:

"True Ether is like a bridge connecting the divine realm and the 'Root,' granting them the vision to directly glimpse the origin of the world, thereby drawing upon profound knowledge."
