Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 22 The All-Out Offensive on Maple Leaf Town

Sunan had Pera and Warwick assist him in controlling the twelve werewolf messengers, and assigned Wolf One and Wolf Two, who understood him best, to lead the remaining ten werewolf messengers.

In this way, through the wolf pack effect, he can continue to use these werewolf messengers as easily as he would his own limb.

But in fact, if Su Nan transforms into a leader-type werewolf, he can directly replace the work of all the above people and directly control the command of the wolf pack.

Furthermore, in his leader-type werewolf state, he can control the number of werewolf messengers, which should be around thirty.

Although using AI can improve command efficiency, Su Nan is reluctant to reveal his biggest trump card to outsiders.

After all, I don't know much about the wizarding world.

Who knows, maybe in the future, enemies will extract information and intelligence from their own werewolf forces.

However, an efficient command system is still quite important.

The difference between having command and not having command is often a matter of two different levels of combat effectiveness.

Just like in the previous life, during World War I, everyone looked down on the two million troops of Tsarist Russia, thinking they were not as good as the two hundred thousand troops of Western Europe.

This was because the Tsarist Russian army had a low literacy rate, outdated communication systems, and a lack of discipline. Of course, it could also be due to discrimination caused by some kind of stubborn ideology.

Su Nan ordered twelve werewolf messengers to infiltrate Maple Leaf Town. Under the full moon, the dark magic flowing in the werewolves' veins was boiling, seemingly more excited than usual.

The speed of action was also slightly faster than usual.

There are three toll stations at the entrance of Maple Leaf Town, each 500 meters apart.

But thanks to the werewolf messengers' efficient slaughter, the tollbooth soldiers were killed before they even noticed anything.

Although Su Nan could directly wage war against the entire Maple Leaf Town, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit; he didn't need to deal with the regular knights and his army at the same time.

Therefore, he decided to reduce the number of their troops as much as possible and remove the defenses of Maple Leaf Town before dueling with Gus Pasha and the Knights of Harun, so as to prevent them from continuing to resist stubbornly even after their defeat and wasting his time.

Under Su Nan's command, the twelve werewolf messengers silently climbed over the wooden fence of Maple Leaf Town, and then tore the throats of the guarding militiamen with their sharp claws.

Then, the twelve werewolf messengers swiftly attacked the military camp within the town.

Many soldiers died in their sleep, dying before they even woke up.

This is the result of Su Nan having the AI ​​concoct werewolf potions multiple times. Werewolves were designed from the beginning to possess superb stealth abilities.

They were originally a night race.

However, not all of the Pasha family's soldiers were idle.

A knight squire trained by the Pasha family, he was very alert and was brought to his senses when a werewolf messenger sneaked into his room and pounced on his bed.

He grabbed the werewolf's arms with both hands as it lunged at him, trying to prevent the werewolf messenger's claws from tearing open his chest.

Because of the struggle and beating on the bed board, they also knocked over the torch next to them, causing the military camp to catch fire.

He shouted with great effort.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"What...what kind of monster is this?"

It was only then that the soldiers of Maple Leaf Town realized they had been attacked.

But they have already lost more than half of their manpower.

Only about 130 soldiers remained.

The Pasha family's knight squire was wrestling with the werewolf messenger in bed, but he had no weapon at hand. Fortunately, he had a habit of wearing chainmail while sleeping, which was enough to barely hold off the werewolf.

He turned to his two bodyguards in the room and said, "Damn it, why aren't you coming to help? Quick, plunge it into the monster's back! Pour the holy water onto the sword!"

A guard poured holy water from a clay pot onto the one-handed knight's sword, then gripped the hilt with both hands, stood behind the werewolf messenger, and roared. Part of the one-handed knight's sword pierced the werewolf messenger's back.

The werewolf messenger roared.

Then he activated [Rage], his eyes turned bloodshot, and his golden ring pupils turned into golden-red ring pupils. At the same time, he slapped the guard away with a backhand, smashing his head to pieces.

Then, the werewolf Xin used his left hand to pull out the one-and-a-half-sword (a single-handed knight's sword) stuck in his back.

The knight's squire stared in disbelief. "The holy water isn't working."

"This hasn't worked at all."

"You heartless pastor! You've ruined my life!"

The next moment, the werewolf messenger, whose physical strength had been greatly enhanced, slammed a claw at the knight squire beneath him.

As time goes by, the knight's squire, pinned beneath the werewolf messenger, will only grow more and more desperate.

Because the werewolf messenger has activated its rage ability, it can even gain a physical boost by intentionally harming itself.

This Pasha family knight squire, whose strength was only 1.5, had no chance of breaking free; he didn't even have a suitable weapon.

Meanwhile, in the Maple Leaf Town military camp, two wandering knight squires who were originally employed by Maple Leaf Town heard screams, roars, and wolf howls from within the camp, and saw flames spiraling out of control. They originally intended to leave their rooms to help.

But they stopped when they reached the door.

After all, they were just mercenaries hired to do things for money.

In the past, after taking money, I would act as a bully in Maple Leaf Town, intimidating petty thugs or threatening robbers—these were all simple, trivial matters.

Recently, Maple Leaf Town has been in a state of panic, and now, the entire military camp outside seems to be engulfed in flames. Is it necessary for these mercenaries to go out and risk their lives for Maple Leaf Town and the Pasha family?

The two wandering knights' squires thought for a moment, then locked the wooden lock on the door behind them and pushed the furniture, such as the table, behind the door.

"I reckon this is a civil war within the Peter Baronate. Just this morning, Gus Pasha said he was going to control the entire Peter Baronate. We're just doing this for money. No matter who wins today, I don't think they'll refuse the loyalty of their two squires..."

"That's true. We'll just pretend to be asleep anyway. You see, no enemies are attacking our room, which speaks volumes."

"We'll just lie in bed and pretend we don't know anything. Tomorrow, we'll get a new employer, but we don't know which side it will be."

Unbeknownst to them, as they spoke, a werewolf messenger stood silently in a blind spot near their window, listening intently.

Then, they left without a sound.

From 800 meters away, Su Nan overheard their conversation through the wolf pack effect and ordered them to go. "The Pasha family and the vassals of the Harun Knights are more than enough material for my experiments."

"Whether I keep the hearts of these two useless knight squires with strength stats of only 1.2 to 1.3 or not doesn't really matter."

"After the war, I still need some visible knightly forces to maintain appearances. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to explain the composition of my military power."

"Since these two don't want to be my enemies, I'll let them live. It's just that their work attitude has been quite problematic since I took back Maple Leaf Town."

"Forget it, it's just a pet for others to see, there's no need for me to work on it seriously."

At that time, the threat to the entire Maple Leaf Town's army had been largely eliminated.

Gus Pasha, Knight Harun, and their personal guards had just left the wealthy merchant's mansion in town and arrived at the military camp.

The elite soldiers of the Harlan Knights, also stationed in the camp, were almost inevitably caught in the attack. Looking at the camp engulfed in flames, he asked, "What happened? Did Mair Baragan launch a sneak attack?"

Gus Pasha looked at the werewolf messengers weaving through the flames, his face ashen. He had originally planned to launch a full-scale attack on Su Nan the next day.

But he miscalculated.

He was a step too slow.

Unexpectedly, he was attacked by the Southern Jiangsu team the day before he was to launch his general offensive.

And those monsters...

It seems that those strange rituals researched by those useless nobles might actually be useful.

Gus Pasha's eyes were cold. He held two two-handed swords in each hand. These swords, which were nearly three meters long, were weapons that cavalrymen would have to use with both hands to barely wield. But in Gus's hands, they were like toys, which he could wield with ease with one hand.

He said to Harlan, "It's not that good-for-nothing Barragan; he doesn't have that ability."

"The one who did it was the young baron."

"As expected of the old baron's son, perhaps I should have killed him five years ago."

He told his personal guards, "Sprinkle holy water on my two weapons. With me here, you don't need to worry. Once we kill all those monsters, everything will be back to normal."
