Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 137 An Alternative Wizarding Society, A Hybrid Army of the Underworld

Su Nan immediately ordered the twenty werewolf deacons of different levels of ascension within his territory to take action. Led by Wolf Three, they quickly searched the territory for any possible invading army of the main city matriarch of the underground world.

Southern Jiangsu is also quite popular.

To think that their own territory had been dug up by a bunch of bastards, turning it into a maze of tunnels and caves, is simply too much. These "earthworms," ​​who are suspected to be creations of underground wizards from over two thousand years ago, are going too far.

I must accelerate the development of my Zerg army to establish comprehensive defenses across my territory.

Moreover, his own Tree Guardian series of potions can also enhance underground protection, allowing the tree roots to penetrate deeper into the ground.

Establish a comprehensive defense system with werewolves defending the ground, gargoyles defending the sky, and treants and insect swarms defending the underground.

Although territory is not the most important thing to me, with so many subordinates, they all need a place to stay.

Moreover, the Four Seasons Garden is located within this territory.

Peter's Territory, the stronghold of the wolf pack, will not tolerate any outsiders!

In the future, I should make sure that no matter what kind of demons or monsters they are, they are not allowed to enter my territory without my permission!

However, after searching for ten minutes, the werewolf steward team found no trace of a large-scale underground army invading their territory.

Werewolf Butlers, especially Super Werewolf Butlers, move extremely fast and have an incredibly wide scouting range. One of them can oversee several villages, which is theoretically impossible.

But soon, Su Nan understood why he couldn't find the vanguard of the underworld in his territory.

Wolf Three sensed the presence of a group of strange creatures lingering in the jungle and wilderness. Following their trail, he discovered that these creatures had actually headed south, leaving Peter's Territory and invading the baronial territory located in the southern part of Peter's Territory, which was also the only one bordering Peter's Territory but not yet vassal to Sunan.

This territory belongs to Baron Caron Mayes; it is the territory of Baron Mayes.

Karon Mays is a distant maternal relative of the Storm royal family, but the Mays territory has never had much of a presence, and Karon Mays herself is very cowardly and incompetent.

He had previously secretly occupied a lot of land in southern Jiangsu when the Peterhof Territory was in decline. Later, after the Peterhof Territory rose to power, he secretly ordered the withdrawal of troops and the evacuation of civilians, returning the occupied land to its former owners.

After emerging from the surface passage on the southern edge of Peter's territory, the army from the underworld suddenly turned around and bypassed Peter's territory to begin attacking Baron Caron's territory.

At first, Su Nan wondered if they were deliberately avoiding him, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized he was overthinking it.

The creatures of the underworld had just been dug out of the ground; they had no idea about the power structure on the surface, nor did they know that they had simultaneously invaded the lands of two Storm Lords from the Storm Kingdoms.

I guess it was just a decision made casually.

This illustrates that the underground world also knows very little about the surface world.

Through the line of sight of Wolf Three entering the territory of Mays, Su Nan saw what the two one-eyed ogres had mentioned as the official army of the Drow Matriarch.

Before the castle of Metz appeared an army of over three hundred monsters from the underground city, each with a different appearance.

At the forefront of them were two creatures that looked very much like humans, but were not wearing much clothing. They walked with rounded shoulders and hunched backs, and occasionally walked on all fours. Their back muscles were completely different from those of the humans of the Storm Kingdom on the surface world. They were cave-dwelling degenerates.

The two cave-dwelling degenerates were each holding a black flag in their mouths. The black flags were clearly woven from the silk of the cave insects, and there were terrifying eight-legged spider patterns on the flags, with rye patterns embroidered above the spider patterns.

Around the necks of the two cave-dwelling, degenerated beings was an iron collar and an iron chain, each held by a strong, cold-blooded lizardman covered in metallic scales.

Behind them were more than two hundred lizardmen soldiers from the underworld. Among these lizardmen soldiers were a dozen or so gray dwarves with gray beards and hair, three minotaur heavy warriors who were over two meters tall and had muscular bodies, and more than fifty green-skinned goblin warriors who were also very short, only about knee-high to an adult man, and had a very lewd appearance but bloodthirsty and cruel eyes.

Su Nan observed that the mixed-race armies of these underground rye capital cities all showed signs of being modified by magic, and were probably the product of wizard magic experiments.

This was the first time I had come into contact with traces of a wizarding civilization. The Oak Wizard's laboratory before was just a one-person laboratory.

Unfortunately, this wizarding society was merely a deformed wizarding civilization that had developed underground and was abandoned by the mainstream wizarding society more than two thousand years ago.

In fact, they don't even call themselves wizards anymore; they've changed their names to "Arcanist."

However, this also proves that they are getting closer and closer to the orthodox wizarding society.

It's not bad to get to know these fragments of the orthodox wizarding society first.

At this moment, after seeing the composition of the underground city's army, Su Nan understood why those two one-eyed ogres looked down on surface humans so much.

It seems that the humans who entered the underground world with the underground wizards back then have lost in the internal struggle and become a kind of degenerated human.

It seems they have already been reduced to some kind of enslaved race.

When the monsters in the underworld saw that the humans on the surface world looked so much like their slave race, and after testing them and finding that the civilian humans on the surface had little fighting power, they immediately began to underestimate them.

That's probably why they dared to wage war on the surface without understanding anything about it.

However, these creatures of the underground world probably did not expect that, because the surface world is not like the underground world, resources such as food are not as scarce, and there is no constant infighting, so it is not a world where everyone is a soldier.

They rushed into the crowd of civilians, and that meant indiscriminate killing.

The fighting strength of civilians cannot indicate the strength of the armies in the surface world.

But the struggles and cruelty of the surface world are no less than those of the underground world. The intensity of the real war hidden behind peace may even be greater than that of the wars in the underground world.

For example, I once used only ten minutes to magically bombard the town of Simon into ruins.

For example, neither the warlock groups nor the ruthless, killing church knights trained by the Church of Storms are easy to deal with.

Su Nan instructed Wolf Three to circle around to the front of this underground expeditionary force in order to get a full view of the unit.

These underground expeditionary vanguards were completely unaware that Su Nan had been monitoring them the entire time.

"Hmm? It seems the underground world isn't as barren as those two ogres said." Su Nan observed that the army in this underground world was all wearing iron armor, which clearly indicated that the underground world had very rich metal ore resources.

Moreover, the elite soldiers of this mixed monster army in the underworld are equipped with blue-silver iron swords, iron armor, and arrows made of special metal. Su Nan sensed from that metal that the magic around it was unusually stable, like an inert gas.

"It seems the underground world possesses many metals that are not found on the surface," Su Nan said. "That's quite interesting."

"Let them attack the Mace family's castle. Let's observe what those blue-silver metal weapons are actually used for."

"It's good to see the combat capabilities of these underworld armies. Then we'll conduct combat tests on the werewolves equipped with the Triumph Claws."

Anyway, it's not my own castle.

The Mayes family had even offended him in the past, but he simply couldn't be bothered to pursue the matter. However, that doesn't mean the matter didn't exist.

If it's convenient, like now, it's time for Su Nan to casually settle old scores.

For the strong, it's never too late to settle scores.

It's possible to forget sometimes. It's just that Su Nan saw it now, so she remembered.
