Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 6 Law Knight's Squire

Within just ten minutes, the entire bandit camp went from jubilant celebration to a scene littered with severed limbs.

The bandits had almost all given up resistance, and all they wanted to do was escape.

This stronghold was destroyed the moment the two towers fell.

"Damn monster." The bandit leader swung his broadsword, slashing it at the werewolf's shoulder. The heavy force cleaved a huge gash in the werewolf messenger's back.

At the same time, the werewolf messenger turned around and struck the bandit leader in the chest with a claw. Unexpectedly, the bandit leader groaned but did not retreat.

He was wearing chainmail, so he wasn't seriously injured.

Through the werewolf messenger, Su Nan used his AI to scan the bandit leader's physical attributes and discovered that the guy's physical attributes were very similar to those of his knight squire Robert.

This guy was actually a knight's squire.

Moreover, it should not be a Storm Knight, but a squire of a Law Knight.

Su Nan had the AI ​​analyze the guy's specific data.

[Constitution: 2, Strength: 1.7, Speed: 1.4, Mental Strength: 1.1]

[By standard, this is a typical squire, but a Storm Knight's speed attribute is higher than other attributes, and the opponent's constitution attribute is higher than other attributes, so it is most likely a Law Knight.]

Su Nan said, "That's good. It'll be a good opportunity to see how the werewolf messenger performs against the knight's squire. Wolf King, fight him."

Su Nan used the wolf pack effect to prevent the wolves from dodging and instead engaged the bandit leader in a direct battle.

The wolf, transformed into a werewolf messenger, stood still and engaged in a fierce battle with the bandit leader.

Both sides exchanged numerous injuries.

But as the bandit leader watched the werewolf messenger's wounds rapidly heal while his own chainmail gradually became tattered and his injuries worsened, his heart grew heavier.

What kind of monster is this?

Why did they get involved with this monster?

Does that mean he can't even harm such a monster?

Wait a moment.

The bandit leader suddenly slashed at the flames with his sword, simultaneously striking the werewolf messenger's claws with the flames within.

*Bang!*

The bandit leader looked at the wounds left on the werewolf messenger's claws and felt a surge of joy, because he saw that the wounds scorched by the flames did indeed heal much more slowly.

Fire is indeed its weakness.

He is not without a chance of winning.

The bandit leader looked around the camp, where many areas had been engulfed in flames due to the battle. He could then shift the focus of the fight towards those infernos.

In this way, even if he can't defeat these monsters, he can at least survive with the help of these flames.

if only……

if only……

As the bandit leader pondered his next move, he suddenly witnessed an unbelievable scene that completely shattered his resolve to continue.

Two werewolves, much larger and clearly more powerful than the two monsters from before, walked out from outside the camp.

So there were even more monsters?

How could he possibly defeat those monsters?

The thin merchant beside him had an extremely pale face. At this moment, he spoke in a terrified tone to the bandit leader, stammering, "I...I am the son of the mayor of Maple Leaf Town."

"You must protect me."

"As long as you can protect me, Maple Leaf Town can provide you with any supplies you need in the future."

The bandit leader barely managed to parry the werewolf messenger's attack with his sword. "Do I look like I'm capable of protecting you?"

"What's the use of having so much money?"

"You can actually make deals with these monsters? God of Law, what kind of monsters are these? Why did I encounter them?"

The bandit leader slashed the werewolf messenger across the forehead with his broadsword. He struggled to survive in despair and managed to temporarily stop one of the werewolf messengers. But in his desperate eyes, the werewolf messenger whose head had been split open was rapidly regenerating.

He felt as if he were facing an unkillable monster.

The monster's claws were about to strike his chest.

"Wolf, wait a minute. That's enough." Su Nan stopped him, stepping out of the jungle and into the center of the camp. "Warwick and Pera are also interested in that knight's squire, and I want to test how a high-ranking werewolf performs against a knight's squire."

"The materials for the experiment are limited, so you can't continue killing."

To the astonishment of the bandit leader, the terrifying, unkillable monster rapidly shrank in size, transforming into a small hunting dog. It then wagged its tail, ran to Su Nan's feet, and began licking Su Nan's shoes.

Meanwhile, another werewolf monster transformed back into its hound form and ran to Su Nan's feet, wagging its tail and vying for his attention.

By then, all the bandits in the entire bandit stronghold had died.

The bandit leader looked at Su Nan; it turned out these monsters had a master.

So, is this human the one who manipulates those monsters?

The bandit leader found the idea of ​​those two terrifying monsters being his two lackeys absurd and laughable.

All those men and the strongholds he had painstakingly built over the years died because of two sycophants who fawned over their master's shoes.

Although the night was dark, he could still vaguely recognize Su Nan's identity.

The moment he recognized him, the bandit leader's eyes widened, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

"You...you are..."

"You are that little baron."

"So that's how it is. The person we messed with was you."

"You can actually control such a monster. What is this? Does it mean that wizards really exist in this world? Can your secret societies among nobles really produce results?!"

He gave a wry smile and mocked himself.

He looked at the two even larger werewolves. Since Su Nan had mentioned their names earlier, it wasn't hard to guess who they were.

These two werewolves must be the overly old butler in that castle, and the head maid who only ever mutters to herself.

If they possess such power, why have we tolerated their plundering for the past few years?

The merchants behind the bandit leader scrambled over. "Baron Sunan, I am your vassal! This is a misunderstanding; we are on the same side."

"I will definitely convince my dad to surrender quickly."

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

Su Nan, however, seemed not to hear them at all, and was instead surveying the battlefield, as if deep in thought.

"AI, analyze the shortcomings of the werewolf courier's performance in this practical exercise."

In actual combat, the werewolf messenger's attack power was sufficient, but many bandits were already severely wounded but not yet dead, requiring the werewolf messenger to provide supplementary attacks.

[At the same time, when the werewolf messenger attacks a shielded bandit, he cannot immediately and completely destroy the bandit's wooden shield.]

Essentially, the werewolves created by the two werewolf potions are still fighting enemies unarmed.

They are all present, and if facing an armored enemy, they might be suppressed by the enemy soldiers once the werewolf's weakness is discovered.

[It is recommended to further increase the werewolf's attack power.]

[Additional potions can be added.]

[Weaponize the werewolves with supplementary enhancements using potions.]

[Additional Option 1: Enhance the werewolf's claws to make them nearly as strong as steel, thus increasing their destructive power against shields and armor.]

[Available Project: Steel Claw Potion.]

[Additional Option 2: Add venom to the werewolf's claws to cause enemies scratched or bitten by werewolves to suffer an immune collapse, preventing them from dying despite being seriously injured and receiving treatment. It can also cause those bitten by werewolves to become confused, unable to distinguish friend from foe, further disintegrating enemy armed groups.]

[Project that can be created: Wolfsbane Potion.]

Su Nan nodded. "Create a second file to record the battle between the high-ranking werewolves and the knight's squire. Name the file Wolf Pack No. 2."

Five minutes later, Pera and Warwick killed the bandit leader and the merchant.

The bandit leader was already injured, and Pella and Warwick's stats completely overwhelmed him. They were immune to damage from ordinary weapons and didn't give him a chance to use fire. Therefore, Warwick and Pella killed him like adults beating children.

In this way, the band of robbers who had been entrenched in Baron Peter's territory for many years were completely wiped out.

This battle was easier than Su Nan had imagined.

Su Nan thought to himself, "The power of witchcraft to oppress mortals is truly immense."

"Next, we can take over Maple Leaf Town."

"With Maple Leaf Town, I can obtain more experimental materials. This will be of great benefit to improving my werewolf army."

Su Nan said to the old steward, "Warwick, you and Pera search the bandit camp for usable supplies and see if you can find anything."

"If you find anything that seems to be related to witchcraft, bring it to me immediately."
