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

"That's right. Strategically, we have made the decision to quickly annihilate the enemy within two months. However, in terms of tactical implementation, we must still adhere to fighting with superior numbers in local areas, leveraging our high level of organization and mobility, and steadily chipping away at the enemy's manpower piece by piece."

"At the same time, psychological warfare and information warfare must be carried out in tandem. Order the comrades who are infiltrated in Murmangraf to immediately spread key rumors."

"Tell us that the so-called peace talks between the Ursus Empire and Kazimir have completely broken down, the flames of war have reignited, and reinforcements from the Fifth and Seventh Armies are being held back indefinitely! We must destroy any remaining shred of hope they may have!"

After Wang Chong finished speaking, Talulah chimed in, "That's right. In addition, when our army launches nighttime harassment and feigned attacks, we will simultaneously conduct battlefield announcements, explaining the advantages and disadvantages, urging them to recognize the situation and lay down their weapons to surrender. If we can 'subdue the enemy without fighting' and break their will to fight, we will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere became lively. They began to discuss in detail the subsequent combat plans and the difficulties that might be encountered in their respective war zones.

"On other fronts...following this strategy...there shouldn't be any major problems..."

Patriot's thick fingers drew several heavy circles on the map over the vast open plains north of Hongshan Town, his brow furrowed.

"But... after capturing Hongshan Town... the entire area is flat... its defensive advantages... can be fully utilized!"

He pointed to the open plain stretching from Murmangraf to Red Hill and continued:

"Furthermore... suppressing enemy ships... if we force an attack... the cost will be devastating..."

"Their army group has a clear advantage on the plains, and Murmangrad is a major military town with countless defensive weapons. If we don't make thorough preparations, we may have to pay an unbearable price."

"I already have a solution to the warship problem," Wang Chong replied calmly, his gaze equally grave as he looked at the city defense map of Murmangraf. "The most troublesome key point is their desperate defense based on the city's fortified defenses."

Wang Chong looked at everyone present, his tone showing obvious concern, especially when he mentioned the Flying Dragon Group:

"Although Jeanne d'Arc Alter's dragon legion has the ability to ignore terrain and rush straight to the city walls, Murmangra is no ordinary city that we have conquered before. The city is full of skilled sorcerers, archers, and countless anti-aircraft guns and heavy weapons."

"If the Flying Dragon Regiment were to force its way through the defenses, facing such a dense network of crossfire, the casualties would likely be extremely heavy, and they might even lose most of their elite troops."

Wang Chong took a deep breath, tapping his fingers on the table as he assessed the strength of both sides:

"According to intelligence, the enemy currently has more than 100,000 troops deployed outside the city, and two warships, each carrying 50,000 elite troops, are stationed on the two flanks outside the city. Meanwhile, the garrison in Murmangrah numbers as many as 200,000."

"Our objectives are clear: First, we must eliminate all of the more than 100,000 enemy troops deployed outside the city! Second, we must eliminate the two warships that pose a significant threat."

"Only then can we concentrate our forces to deal with the 200,000 defenders in the city. Only in this way can we minimize our casualties."

After listening to Wang Chong's well-organized analysis, Talulah couldn't help but sigh softly, and said with a hint of longing, "If... if we could lure the more than 200,000 garrison troops out of the city and have them fight in the open field, that would be the best."

"However, even if we proceed cautiously, given the current situation, barring any major unforeseen circumstances, we should be able to capture this important town within two months."

Before Talulah could finish her exclamation, a series of hurried footsteps broke the atmosphere of the strategic simulation in the tent.

Then the guard outside rushed in and reported clearly:

"Report to the Commander! Rhodes Island operators have delivered urgent military intelligence; the situation is extremely critical!"

"Let him in quickly!" Wang Chong immediately ordered.

An operator dressed in Rhodes Island standard equipment strode in, his expression solemn. He quickly handed a sealed document to Wang Chong and simultaneously reported to all the leaders present in a clear and rapid tone:

"Your Majesty! And all leaders! According to the latest, repeatedly verified monitoring data just transmitted by our Rhodes Island Cataclysm Messenger Task Force, predictions indicate that in approximately two weeks, a massive Originium catastrophe will erupt in a vast area surrounding Murmangrai!"

"What did you say? The Originium Cataclysm?!"

This earth-shattering news was like a boulder thrown into calm water; the camp erupted in an uproar, and shock and disbelief were written on the faces of all the leaders.

Froststar clenched her fist tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force. An icy aura uncontrollably emanated from her, and her voice was filled with resentment and unwillingness:

"Half a month later?! If we're not slow, we can advance our main force to the walls of Murmangra by then! This...this damned heavens! Is it really siding with the corrupt Ursus Empire at this crucial moment?!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue for the Reunification Movement.

Chapter 463 If ​​Heaven does not grant it, I will take it myself.

Once the Originium Cataclysm strikes, the vast plain in front of Murmangraf, which was originally going to be the main battlefield, will instantly turn into a terrifying forbidden zone for life.

Even the most elite Reunion forces would be utterly incapable of fighting the enemy in a raging, natural disaster-stricken environment.

Even if the natural disaster subsides, the severe Originium contamination left on the battlefield will greatly delay and hinder the Reunion Movement's subsequent offensive capabilities.

After all, the Reunion Movement is no longer the same as in the original storyline, consisting only of Infected troops. In the harsh environment following the Originium Cataclysm, only the Infected could still fight.

However, what is even more fatal is the loss of the strategic window of opportunity. If this delays the battle and prevents the complete annihilation of the main forces of the besieged Third and Fourth Armies before the arrival of the Fifth and Seventh Army Groups, then the entire Eastern Theater will be forced into a desperate situation of fighting on two fronts simultaneously.

At that time, the development of the battle will become unpredictable and the outcome will be hard to predict.

After the initial shock, someone among those present immediately pressed the Rhodes Island operator for crucial details: "What is the precise extent of the catastrophe? Does it... does it include the city of Murmangraf itself?"

A sliver of hope remained in their hearts. If the natural disaster could directly destroy Murmanko's impregnable walls, then the Reunion Movement could use the Flying Dragon Regiment's mobility advantage to send elite troops directly into the city ruins and engage in street fighting with the defenders.

This may be the only chance to turn the tide in a desperate situation and annihilate the enemy's main force in one fell swoop.

However, the Rhodes Island operator's next response was like a bucket of ice water poured over their heads, completely extinguishing the last glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts:

"Based on all data model projections... the main areas affected and destroyed by this Originium disaster will completely avoid the city of Murmangra. The city itself... will not be directly impacted."

"Could it be... that the fate of the Ursus Empire is not yet over?"

Even General Hrag, who was known for his calm, rationality, and restrained emotions, couldn't help but sigh to the heavens, his words filled with deep helplessness and emotion at the cruel twist of fate.

A heavy, dark cloud hung over the entire camp.

"Hahaha...hahaha..."

Just as everyone was filled with worry, a hearty, even somewhat joyful, laugh suddenly echoed through the camp.

The laughter was so inappropriate that everyone froze, their surprised and uncertain gazes all turning to the source of the laughter—Wang Chong.

"Everyone!" Wang Chong's laughter subsided, but instead of being discouraged, his face shone with a confident light that seemed to have a clear understanding of the situation and control over everything. "This is not a crisis at all, but a golden opportunity!"

He surveyed the astonished crowd, his voice steady and powerful, clearly analyzing the situation:

"Rhodes Island can detect natural disasters, and the enemy's reconnaissance capabilities must also be aware of this!"

"Then, on the day the Originium Catastrophe strikes, their vigilance will inevitably drop to its lowest point. Because they are certain that our Reunion Movement will never launch an attack while facing a devastating natural disaster!"

After speaking, Wang Chong paused slightly, his gaze sharp as he swept across each face, before throwing out a groundbreaking idea:

"Then what if I said... I could fight against this Originium calamity, allowing you to attack freely under my protection without suffering any harm?"

"You intend to single-handedly confront the entire Originium Cataclysm?!"

Apart from a few core members such as Talulah, Frostnova, and Patriot who knew some of Wang Chong's secrets and were able to maintain a certain degree of composure, the rest of the generals were all horrified, exclaimed in shock, and their eyes were filled with extreme shock and disbelief.

Helag took a deep breath. With the most experience, he knew the difficulty of the task. He solemnly reminded him, "Lord Wang Chong, your strength is unfathomable. I have no doubt about that."

"But to combat the entire Cataclysm, especially to protect the entire army from harm... as far as I know, the only time in history that this could be accomplished was during the Sarkaz's heyday, when they mobilized the entire army of sorcery and magic. For an individual alone..."

Herag slowly shook his head, his worry evident in his words: "The hardships and costs involved are probably far beyond our imagination."

“I understand your concerns, sir.” Wang Chong’s expression was unusually calm, as if he were talking about something perfectly ordinary.

He slowly stood up, and an indescribable, almost tangible, overwhelming aura quietly spread out, like an invisible divine might descending, instantly making the air in the tent heavy, causing every powerful person present to feel a tremor and oppression from the depths of their soul.

Wang Chong's gaze was deep as he swept over the companions who had followed him all the way. His voice was not loud, but it carried a power that penetrated people's hearts:

"Over the past year, I have personally witnessed how the Reunion Movement rose from humble beginnings and how it was tempered and matured through blood and fire."

"You have overcome countless difficulties and obstacles one by one through your own efforts. I have only intervened a handful of times, because I firmly believe that the new world of the future must be created by your own hands!"

Wang Chong paused slightly, and the terrifying aura surrounding him suddenly became more refined and majestic, as if resisting the will of heaven in the dark:

"And this time... since fate refuses to favor integration and insists on obstructing it..."

Wang Chong's voice suddenly turned cold, carrying an undeniable resolve and an overbearing, domineering air:

"Then I will take it for you with my own hands! If Heaven does not grant it, I will take it myself!"

In an instant, everyone in the camp was impressed by Wang Chong's spirit. They could tell that Wang Chong's words were not arrogant, but that he could indeed do it.

"Wait a minute..."

Just then, a voice broke the silence. Everyone looked over and saw Patriot speaking.

“I…have…something better…” Patriot said slowly.

"Hmm? You have a way too?" Hearing Patriot say this, Wang Chong withdrew his imposing aura.

……

Afterwards, the main camp was disbanded, and some of the people began to mobilize the elite sorcerers of the Reunion Movement with a plan.

Even on Rhodes Island's side, elite-level warlocks were deployed in the front line for support. This included three spell masters.

After listening to the entire plan, the trio talked as they headed towards the Patriots' front line.

Misery couldn't help but ask, "This is insane... The sorcery of the Sarkaz Wendigo branch is truly unbelievable, to be able to achieve this level. I say, Logos, as a member of the Banshee branch, do you have any similar magical techniques?"

"Yes, there are..." Logos replied casually.

"You Sarkaz are really dancing on the edge of a knife, even daring to mess with things like Originium Cataclysm," Shuhai couldn't help but complain from the side.

"Hey, it's less like we were dancing on the edge of a knife and more like we were forced to do it... After all, we didn't even have a mobile city that could avoid the Originium disaster back then."

Misery chuckled and shook his head, then changed the subject, saying:

"Speaking of which, there were rumors that before Wendigo made the suggestion, the leader of the Reunion Movement planned to personally take action and solve the entire Originium Calamity on his own."

"Do you think that, based on the original rumors, that leader really has the ability to take down the Originium Cataclysm on his own?" (The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated to the initial statement.)

"It's difficult... but not unimaginable. However, Misery, you actually just want to see what His Excellency the Führer does, right?" Shuhai said, seeing through Misery's thoughts.

"Haha, you figured it out. But that's only natural, isn't it? Most of us who came later have never seen the true level of that leader. Although everyone knows he's very powerful, we really have no idea just how powerful he is."

Misery chuckled and said, "What a pity. In that case, let's see what the last pure-blooded Wendigo can do."

Similar conversations unfolded among the elite warlocks who came to provide support. They were all somewhat looking forward to the Originium Cataclysm that would occur in half a month.

The scene returns to Wang Chong's personal tent, where he summons his loyal Starfury—Priss.

"This...is this your doing?" Wang Chong looked at Precyth and asked calmly.

Precys shook his head and said, "The initial signs of this Originium catastrophe were not under my control... nor would I put that effort into designing every Originium catastrophe."

"Moreover, in fact, the formation of Originium Cataclysm has a strong lag... it can only be generated by the self-circulating source code of Originium itself. Although I can speed up this process, that level is not called Originium Cataclysm, but merely a spell comparable to Originium Cataclysm."

Chapter 464 Precys's Strange Movements

"You just mentioned that the initial outbreak of this Originium Cataclysm was not controlled by you..." Wang Chong's gaze fell on Precys, and he calmly pressed on, "So, you did intervene afterward, right?"

“Yes.” Precys nodded slightly and answered frankly, “After I noticed the anomaly of the natural disaster, I temporarily locked its outbreak range and postponed the time. The original plan was to wait until you finished the meeting before reporting this matter to you and discussing how to deal with it, or even utilize the power of this natural disaster.”

With a slight lift of his fingertip, Precys watched as a wisp of pure Originium energy flowed nimbly between his fingers, radiating a profound light.

For her, controlling a natural disaster of this scale seemed to be a piece of cake.

"After all, with my current level of authority, I am capable of more precise control over the Originium Cataclysm. Master, you don't even need to rely on Mr. Patriot and his casters; with my intervention alone, you can achieve the strategic effect you expect."

Precyth had a faint smile on his lips, and his tone was relaxed and confident: "Well? Do you need me to intervene now?"

“No need.” Wang Chong shook his head decisively without the slightest hesitation. “Since the strategy has been finalized, there is no need to change it at the last minute. Problems that they can solve on their own should be left to them to accomplish.”

Then, Wang Chong changed the subject, his tone becoming authoritative and unquestionable:

“However, Precys, if there is a next time, you must notify me immediately whenever there is an important matter that needs to be reported immediately. My black mist flows in your veins, so you should know how to cross spatial boundaries and establish contact with me instantly.”

“Yes, Master.” Precys bowed respectfully.

"Go down." Wang Chong waved his hand casually. After Precys' figure disappeared outside the door, the space beside him rippled slightly, and thick black mist quickly condensed, revealing Black Alice's cold and stern figure.

"Master, she clearly did it on purpose!"

Black Alice stared coldly in the direction Priscilla had left, her tone clearly showing her displeasure:

"She is perfectly capable of communicating with you immediately, but she insists on using the excuse of waiting for the meeting to end before reporting. I think she is clearly harboring malicious intentions and plotting something nefarious!"

Black Alice had always been wary and hostile towards Prissis, after all, she had once carelessly caused one of her clones to be destroyed by Prissis.

Moreover, although Precys has now sworn allegiance, his true form clearly still retains a certain degree of autonomy and can act according to his own will in certain situations.

"Oh?" Wang Chong raised an eyebrow with interest. "Then what do you think her intention was in deliberately delaying the report?"

"Her purpose is all too clear: she wants you, Master, to personally take action against the Originium Cataclysm."

Black Alice, with a serious expression, analyzed the situation clearly:

"The purpose of doing this is twofold: firstly, to test your true strength and see if you have any deeper cards up your sleeve."

"Secondly, if the master's heroic feat of resisting the natural disaster on his own is spread, it will surely arouse extreme fear and panic among all forces on the Terra continent and even those lurking 'fragments of gods'."

Black Alice paused, emphasizing the key point: "You should also understand that the reason why the various countries on the continent and those hidden 'gods' are turning a blind eye to the war between the Reunion Movement and Ursus is that they are waiting for us and Ursus to fight to the death so that they can take the opportunity to divide up the interests of the Eastern Region."

"But once you demonstrate unimaginable, especially terrifying power to control Originium disasters, the Unification forces will immediately fall into the same predicament that the Sarkaz Empire and the Demon King faced back then—becoming the target of everyone's attacks."

"Admittedly, for our master, repelling the allied forces would not be difficult, but it would ultimately be an unnecessary trouble. Moreover..."

Black Alice's voice lowered:
