Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 5 Bandit Stronghold

Su Nan was also somewhat surprised; it turned out that the town council members had long been colluding with these bandits.

The old butler, Warwick, was furious, and the head maid, Pera, was nearly losing her temper.

However, Su Nan did not show much emotional reaction to this.

First, this was, after all, just a normal conspiracy among nobles.

Maple Leaf Town has always been wary of itself, fearing that its independence would be threatened by it.

Secondly, all these robbers will become dead tonight.

In the jungle, Su Nan said, "It's already dark. Wolf, you should first use stealth to destroy the two largest wooden arrow towers in the bandit stronghold."

The two arrow towers located on the edge of the bandit stronghold are the core of the entire stronghold.

The bandits on these two arrow towers used crossfire and the unique, complex terrain to their advantage, making it impossible for even the apprentice knight Robert to withstand their attacks and charge up.

Robert had once considered dealing with the bandits on his own for Su Nan and the territory, but because the bandits seemed to know a lot about military technology, he was unable to fight them alone and ultimately had to retreat from the two towers.

At this moment, Wolf, acting as a hunting dog, leaped up from beside Su Nan's feet and jumped into the jungle.

Su Nan thought to himself: "AI, begin recording combat-related data for the werewolf messenger. Name the file 'Wolf Pack One'."

Su Nan can utilize the weak connections at the magical level created by the wolf pack effect to see some discontinuous fragments of images from the perspective of Werewolf Messenger No. 1.

This is enough for the AI ​​to obtain relevant practical data.

Once inside the jungle, Werewolf Number One easily located a bandit sentry who had been hiding there.

When the robber heard some suspicious noises, he went around to the tree behind him, then bypassed the tree, which was about the thickness of a fist, and slammed his claw into the robber's back.

The robber stared in horror at the enormous creature behind him, shrouded in darkness.

"A monster..."

Then, his head was crushed by the werewolf messenger number one, before he could even send out any signal.

The werewolf messenger turned and sped quickly toward the bandit stronghold.

The wooden walls were no effective barrier against the werewolves' attack. The werewolf messenger easily climbed over the walls and headed towards the two arrow towers.

Because the werewolf messenger moves swiftly in the darkness, no bandits have yet discovered him.

In the woods, countless grid-like data streams rolled in Su Nan's left eye.

The werewolf messenger's stealth abilities have largely met the standards, and its combat capabilities have largely met the expectations during the potion-making process.

"Those bandits seem to have started to spot your hunting dogs," said Warwick, the old butler.

That's right, the five bandit archers on the first tower were wiped out by Wolf, who secretly climbed up the tower and attacked them from behind before they could even launch an attack.

But one of the archers, before he died, knocked over the torches on the tower, causing the entire wooden tower to catch fire.

When Su Nan was refining the werewolf curse conversion potion, he knew that the magic of pure silver and the magic of fire were the best countermeasures against the magic in werewolves.

Therefore, the flames somewhat disturbed the wolf, causing it to howl and leap into the air towards another tower.

At this moment, the bandit stronghold discovered that their camp had been invaded.

The tower, where the fire spread rapidly, became like a giant candle in the darkness, terrifying the bandits.

Who could have invaded so stealthily and without anyone noticing?

Could it be that the three Storm Knights from Baron Peter's territory finally couldn't stand it anymore and attacked their bandit stronghold?!

From another tower, they quickly spotted Wolf Big charging towards them.

In the shared view of Su Nan and Lang Da, the bandits on the tower vaguely saw a huge black shadow rushing towards them at high speed in the darkness, and thus launched repeated attacks on the shadow.

Dozens of arrows were fired at the dark figure.

However, the effect was far from ideal. Because of the darkness, the accuracy was poor. Most importantly, the iron-tipped arrow struck the werewolf messenger, but it was as if he was not injured at all.

At this moment, the werewolf messenger had already rushed to the top of the tower, and only then did the bandits on the tower get a clear look at what it looked like.

For the people of this world, whose minds have long been suppressed by the church and who have never seen any monsters, the appearance of the werewolf messenger has a great psychological impact on them.

The robbers on the tower were terrified.

"What kind of monster is this? Is it a wolf or a human? Why is it so big?"

"My arrow clearly hit his throat, so why did it have no effect at all? He even squeezed the arrow out with the muscles in his throat."

"Heavens! By the God of Law, what kind of monster is this?"

"God of Storms, have you cursed us?"

The werewolf messenger rushed forward at incredible speed, his claws slicing across the throats of each bandit, drawing blood. Even those bandits who weren't yet dead would be stomped on the back, dying instantly.

The werewolf messenger is twice as fast as an average adult male, but only 1.5 times stronger and more physically capable.

However, this standard of 1 refers to a healthy adult male who has a well-balanced diet and receives regular exercise.

These bandits are lucky if they can even get enough to eat, let alone have sufficient nutrition. In other words, if we were to rank their combat effectiveness using an AI, it would probably be between 0.6 and 0.9.

The data from a small number of elite bandits might be better.

Therefore, werewolf messengers are extremely oppressive to them, and if the right weapons are not used to deal with werewolves, the results are often much less effective.

It is almost impossible to suppress or stop the werewolf.

At this moment, the tower that had held the bandit stronghold back for years and was the one that had been wiped out was engulfed in flames.

Under Su Nan's orders, the werewolf messenger deliberately knocked over several torches on the tower, setting the last tower ablaze.

This means that from now on, no one will be able to use these two fortifications to infringe upon the territory's inhabitants and the people of southern Jiangsu.

The bandit leader, standing by the bonfire in the center of the bandit stronghold, gasped as he watched the werewolf messenger slaughtering in the distance.

He fought against many enemies.

He was once a deserter from the Eastern Empire, and in the cracks of the Storm Kingdom, he worked as a bandit and robber, but he had never encountered such a monster before.

This is not the kind of black bear I've encountered while hunting.

Moreover, the bandit leader witnessed his men piercing the werewolf messenger's body with iron swords and forks, but the werewolf messenger showed no reaction whatsoever. He slapped two bandits to the ground, then leaped behind the group of bandits to prevent them from swarming him and overwhelming him with their collective strength.

Under Su Nan's command, the werewolf messenger leaped, ran, and killed as it went, like the most efficient killing machine in the night.

The power emanating from the magical artifact rendered these mortal bandits utterly incapable of retaliating.

The werewolf messenger's combat prowess was even more effective than he had imagined.

The most important thing is actually the werewolf's strange ability to avoid damage.

Even a werewolf messenger could probably give a knight a run for his money.

"Flames, that monster is avoiding flames, he must be afraid of flames." The bandit leader was a smart man, otherwise he wouldn't have survived until now, and even as a deserter from the previous dynasty, he was doing quite well.

The bandit leader shouted, "Raise your torches and attack that monster with them!"

But the outpost became even more chaotic.

Because there was another werewolf messenger, the second hunting dog raised by Su Nan, coming from another direction from the bandit stronghold.

Su Nan deployed a second werewolf messenger.

This caused the rabble in the bandit stronghold to completely collapse. They weren't really well-trained soldiers, and now, faced with two monsters that their worldview couldn't explain, some of them had already given up resistance and started to turn and run away.

The bandit leader's face was extremely grim. He couldn't understand why so many monsters were attacking his camp.

"Have I offended someone?"

"Or is this just a coincidence, or perhaps punishment from the god of law for my shameless behavior?"

"No."
