Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Their actions were immediately detected by the infiltrating forces Roland had deployed at sea.

"Roland, are we still going to carry out our ambush plan?"

"Their forces on the Mu Continent have no intention of withdrawing. If we continue with the ambush plan, we might only intercept a wave of supplies from the Western countries, which would be far from the results we originally anticipated..."

Roland smiled as he listened to Ying's report.

"Our original plan was to take advantage of the Western countries' withdrawal of their forces from the Mu Continent to inflict heavy losses on these forces, thereby forcing them to make further decisions."

"If that's the case, then their decision to defend Mu Continent to the death already represents their resolve, so our results haven't changed much."

Roland remained calm about it.

After all, he had basically considered the possible outcomes and coping strategies for all sorts of situations.

Sakura, having realized this, felt much more at ease.

"What about the ambush plan?"

"implement!"

Roland gave the answer directly.

"Execute it once, then come back with the spoils—it doesn't matter how much you get after you make the move, the main thing is to give the other side a heads-up and show them your threat, that's enough."

"Well, I see."

Upon hearing Roland's words, Sakura agreed.

After the communication ended, Roland looked at the map in front of him and shook his head slightly.

"They've chosen to shift their focus to the Mu Continent directly from a profit perspective... It seems my two subsequent plans won't be needed for now; they've gone straight down the path I most wanted them to take."

"This is pretty boring."

As Roland spoke, he pointed to several areas on the territories of the Western countries.

"Let's use these few positions then. After all, if the Mu Continent is gone, then the technology and industry on the Mu Continent will need to be replaced."

Roland chose a location, then took out his communicator and made arrangements for the next phase of the plan.

The moment Western nations shifted their national focus to the Mu continent, it meant they would no longer be preoccupied with defense.

As more of their manpower and resources arrived on the Mu Continent, although their supplies were ambushed once, this did not affect their overall decision-making.

Therefore, the counterattack of the Western countries began!

While they were gathering forces toward the Mu Continent, they were also making trouble in the west, on the territory they had abandoned, causing a large number of fusion warriors sent by Anti-Entropy to be tied up in this territory!

Later, while Anti-Entropy was mainly focused on this area, they joined forces with the countries of Mu Continent and directly attacked the territories of the Eastern countries on Mu Continent!

This strike was incredibly clean and decisive!

The results were also very good.

They drove the Eastern nations and the anti-entropy forces directly out of the Mu Continent!

Now, the Mu Continent has directly become the territory of the Western countries and the Mu Continent nation!

They were all very satisfied with the results of this battle, but before they could even celebrate, they discovered that their hometown had fallen!

It turns out that while they were attacking the Mu Continent, Anti-Entropy sent out another large group of fusion warriors who had been hiding, and took advantage of the weak defenses in the west to directly conquer the entire western continent!

At this moment, the leaders of Western countries felt somewhat fortunate.

If they hadn't come to the Mu Continent with the main force when the country was shifting its focus, Anti-Entropy would probably have wiped them out in this wave!

Although the shift from a resounding victory to a base swap is somewhat disheartening, the Western nations feel that the base swap is actually quite acceptable, considering that Anti-Entropy failed to wipe them out this time.

Moreover, this time they also realized that Anti-Entropy had so many fusion warriors!

This directly prompted Mu Dalu to put the Fusion Warrior Project on the agenda!

However, after they realized it, they found that moving to a different place might actually be a good thing.

Even if a result like switching sides occurs, they feel that this round is a loss for anti-entropy!

After all, once the Eastern countries took over the territories on the Mu Continent, they quickly mastered the industry by changing personnel and familiarizing themselves with it!

But what if the Western continent is conquered by anti-entropy?

Before they joined forces to build the Mu Continent, the Western countries had always been on the Western Continent. Their focus had shifted and their territory had been taken over, but the people living on these lands were still the people of the Western countries!

If you change the name of the land now, see if the people will accept it!

So after they realized what was happening, they started an information war!

Relying on the technology of the Mu Continent, they loudly proclaimed their achievements on the Mu Continent, declared the importance of the Mu Continent, and proclaimed the failure of Anti-Entropy on the Mu Continent!

It was clearly a battle for territory, but they insisted on making it look like a huge victory for their side!

After receiving this intelligence, the people of the Western continent still held onto hope for the Western countries, and therefore resisted the rule of 370 Anti-Entropy particularly strongly.

But Anti-Entropy had anticipated this, and Roland even made categorized arrangements for each region and city—so even if there was resistance, it could still be handled.

However, in the eyes of Western countries and the nations of the Mu continent, this is proof that anti-entropy has been dragged into a war of attrition.

To maintain this dominance, anti-entropy requires a massive consumption of resources.

They occupy the Mu Continent with minimal resource consumption and their power is highly concentrated.

Then their information warfare was also very successful, and Anti-Entropy failed several times in its attempts to counterattack in this regard.

Therefore, in their view, this seems to be the advantageous situation for them. All they need to do is use the industrial and technological strength of the Mu Continent to develop rapidly, and then conquer the fusion warrior technology. Then it will be time for them to launch a counterattack!

This has made them fight an even fiercer information war and prepared them to defend against a counterattack against entropy.

In response, Roland simply sat in his office with a cup of hot tea, calmly sipping it.

"The situation has finally come to this point."

"Information warfare has indeed preserved your dignity, but it has also spread your reputation. Your enemies are not just us. So, once your fame surpasses that of Anti-Entropy, the next target will no longer be Anti-Entropy, but you."

As Roland muttered these words, the Honkai energy detection device that he had placed on the table, developed by Velvey, lit up.

The above shows a massive Honkai energy reaction.

The location where this massive amount of Honkai energy appeared was neither the Eastern Continent nor the Western Continent.

It's Mu Continent!

The ninth and tenth Great Collapses occurred.

Same...

"The Mu Continent is finished, and the Western countries and the Mu Continent nations are finished too—let Virvi activate the second Divine Key. The enemy must be eliminated, but let's try to save the people of the Mu Continent if we can."

"As for this farce, it's over."

....

133. Alicia: Did Roland arrange all of this so long ago?

"So that's how it is?"

Alicia has been reviewing Roland's actions over this period.

After all, she was arranged by Roland to be in charge of managing the members of the gods in this world in the future, so Roland's plans did not take precautions against her, which put Alicia in the best viewing position.

It is also the most convenient perspective for learning.

"I was thinking before that the poisonous pupa might be the core reason Roland was able to develop Anti-Entropy to this point, but now it seems that the core is actually the plan to fight against the Great Collapse..."

Alicia understood it during the review.

Sending poisonous pupae to the Eastern countries to arrange various matters is only the surface—if this is discovered, then Roland must have prepared a backup plan... no, he must have prepared a backup plan!

"At that time, Anti-Entropy had already gone far down the path of change. Perhaps the Fusion Warriors were Roland's source of confidence at the time. If the problem of the Poison Chrysalis had been discovered, then Roland would have taken the opportunity to activate the Fusion Warriors and start to show his power... But the Poison Chrysalis's actions were definitely intentionally hidden and went undetected."

"So after Roland realized this, he began to mobilize the power of the fusion warriors and the most advanced equipment in Velvey to carry out targeted strikes against the Great Honkai."

"In this process, the hearts of warriors who genuinely wanted to fight against the Honkai were taken away, and the understanding of the Honkai by the Fire Moth and various major powers was delayed."

It was only when Alicia saw this that she realized that Roland was simultaneously carrying out a second plan when he had the poisonous pupae launch their operation.

Because the Poison Chrysalis's actions went undetected, Roland used the backup plan he had originally intended to use to suppress the Poison Chrysalis in other ways, thereby further expanding his own advantage... Hmm, during that period, Anti-Entropy also expanded and strengthened again, so this was also a contributing factor?

As Alicia pondered this, she sensed that Roland might have deeper considerations, but she was momentarily lost in thought and didn't realize it.

However, after following the path she had planned, she discovered something terrifying.

So, what's erupting now is the Ninth Great Honkai Impact, right? Anti-Entropy has always been aware of the Honkai's strength. Even after Roland gathered these warriors dedicated to fighting the Honkai, he frequently gave them lessons. Even if the Honkai only gets a little stronger, the warriors on the front lines must be the first to know...

As for the Fire Moths and those great powers... they haven't seen a Herrscher since the start of the Fourth Great Collapse, and they haven't even participated in the Great Collapse since.

This means that even though they've experienced the eighth or ninth Honkai, their understanding of Honkai is still stuck in the era of the Third Great Honkai!

Alicia herself was the hero who led others through the Second Great Collapse, so she knew very well that unlike the world during the Second Great Collapse when it was very unfamiliar with the Collapse, the Fire Moth during the Third Great Collapse was very familiar with the Collapse.

Therefore, after recognizing the powers of the Third Herrscher as soon as possible, countermeasures were finalized one after another.

This meant that aside from the still significant casualties caused by the widespread spread of Honkai energy during the Third Great Collapse, the team handled the rest of the situation with great skill, even displaying a sense of ease and composure.

Can...

Facing the eighth and ninth Great Collapses with this mindset is no longer feasible!
