Werewolf wizard

Chapter 19: Wolf Venom Practical Test

The edge of the Peter family's castle.

Knight Attendant [Valen Pasha], leads thirty well-trained soldiers of the Pasha family, raised from childhood, along with thirty well-equipped but poorly disciplined militiamen provided by Maple Leaf Town, and the militia captain of Maple Leaf Town.

The militia captain of Maple Leaf Town glanced at [Valen Pasha] and said with some hesitation, "Ahead is Baron Peter's castle."

"Logically, as vassals, we need to obtain the Baron's permission to enter the castle. After all, at least nominally, we are still subordinates of Baron Sunan."

Valen Pasha, the younger brother of Guss Pasha, sat on a tall horse, revealing an extremely aggressive smile. "The Peter family, it's been several years since I last heard that family's name."

"Back then, my brother and my father followed the old Baron's father to this land."

"The result is truly regrettable."

"Baron Peter has declined, but our Pasha family will take his place."

He drew his bow and arrow, shooting towards the castle, the arrow accurately landing on the gate of the fence at the edge of the castle.

The gatekeeper, seeing this, could only turn his head back every three steps in fright, and quickly ran towards the castle, wanting to report to Sunan—that there were enemies attacking.

Valen Pasha has been stuck at the Knight Attendant stage for more than ten years. Perhaps his talent is insufficient for him to become a formal knight, but years of immersion in the Storm Knight's path have still given him basic physical qualities far surpassing ordinary Knight Attendants, as well as exquisite archery skills.

Valen Pasha smiled and said, "This can be considered a greeting."

"My brother Guss thought that those useless merchants would only run to the other side of the territory, to that knight who openly and secretly disobeys my brother's management, and even wanted to use the excuse that they harbored fugitives from the Pasha family to launch a war."

"Who knew that those useless weaklings would actually run to the little Baron's side. Hahahaha, although the order is wrong, it doesn't matter."

Valen Pasha pointed at the castle carelessly, saying, "Today, this castle will belong to our Pasha family."

The militia captain whispered to persuade, "The Storm Church will definitely have objections."

"The Storm Church values rules the most."

"After all, we are still his subordinate nobles. Why not let the little Baron hand over those fugitives, and let it go? As for whether to attack this castle, you should first consult your brother…"

Before the militia captain could finish speaking, the warhorse beneath him suddenly seemed to be frightened by something, neighing and pawing the ground restlessly.

Similarly, the warhorse beneath Valen Pasha was also behaving in the same way.

"Who's there!" Valen Pasha saw a figure quickly flashing through the jungle, "Stop pretending to be a ghost, come out."

Valen Pasha shot arrow after arrow towards the jungle. He fired seven arrows in succession, but the first six were dodged, only the last iron-tipped arrow hit the opponent's arm.

Valen Pasha's face lit up with joy. Just now, he thought he would never be able to hit the other person.

However, he didn't know why, even though he had hit the person hiding in the jungle, the opponent's speed was not affected at all, and the opponent's moving speed seemed a bit strange.

Valen said, "Probably the little Baron's Knight Attendant, that Robert. After him."

He immediately spurred his horse to chase after him, while the soldiers behind him, including the militia captain, could only follow helplessly.

They traveled about a thousand meters.

At this moment, the scene was completely intertwined with forests and bushes.

When Valen Pasha chased here on horseback, he suddenly found that he had lost track of the other person.

Then, a scream came from behind him.

Valen Pasha quickly turned his head and found that it was the left arm of one of the elite soldiers who had been following him that seemed to have been scratched by some kind of animal's claws, bleeding non-stop, and the leather armor on his body had also been torn a large piece.

But this injury was not fatal.

Valen Pasha laughed loudly. "I may have discovered the real culprit who robbed the Maple Leaf Town caravan."

"Don't be afraid. Judging from the opponent's attack power, they are not enough to quickly cause us any fatal damage. This level of scratching cannot even affect your normal movement."

"This shows that the opponent's attack is insufficient."

"Form a defensive formation. Today, I will bring out that 'Wolf Demon' who has been playing tricks all along!"

The defensive formation that Valen spoke of was a type of infantry square.

Immediately, the militiamen of Maple Leaf Town and the elite soldiers of the Pasha family, ten in a row, formed six columns, forming a rectangle.

This kind of square formation is most powerful in narrow terrain.

During combat, they would simply walk forward. Because there were comrades in front, behind, left, and right, they only needed to consider slashing in a certain direction.

Although it looks simple, it actually requires a lot of military training to achieve.

Therefore, the Maple Leaf Town militiamen in this small infantry square were undoubtedly dragging their feet, unable to keep up with the pace. The formation could only be barely maintained, so they could only stay in the last few rows.

But this square formation was also very useful.

At least in Valen's eyes, if that agile 'Knight Attendant' hiding in the dark wanted to sneak attack his soldiers again, he would have to face the stabs of several soldiers holding longswords at the same time.

This was also a common tactic to deal with Knight Attendants.

It was usually very effective.

At least it could effectively suppress the physical advantage of the Knight Attendant relative to ordinary soldiers. As long as the infantry square held back that agile 'Knight Attendant' hiding in the dark, he could immediately launch an attack on this person and end the battle.

Then, break through the gate of the Peter family's castle.

Let the Pasha family completely stand on the Peter family's head!

Valen was immersed in fantasies of family glory. His eyes quickly scanned the surrounding jungle, wanting to grasp the opponent's position, but suddenly he heard a scream.

He looked back and saw that the problem was actually with his infantry square.

The elite soldier who had his arm scratched earlier now had bloodshot eyes, and the hair on his body increased in a very short period of time, but only slightly, with the body hair becoming as thick as many people's leg hair.

Most importantly, that soldier actually started slashing at his own people, constantly making meaningless roars.

Because the infantry square required everyone to stick close to each other, this led to the sudden betrayal of this soldier, which was a huge disruption to the infantry square.

He directly killed two people beside him and seriously injured one person.

Valen was caught off guard. He shouted repeatedly, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

The frenzied soldier was just killed by other soldiers when suddenly another shadow quickly darted out of the jungle. This time, he injured three soldiers in a row, but all were wounded but not crippled, then disappeared into the jungle.

Valen Pasha couldn't react at all.

At this moment, a chill appeared in Valen's heart.

Because just now, he had discovered two things.

First, he realized that the other party was not incapable of instantly killing an elite soldier, but deliberately did not kill, or even deliberately did not seriously injure, but was waiting for those soldiers to go crazy.

Second, he saw that… that thing, while running at high speed, the arrow he had shot into the monster's arm earlier fell to the ground, and that man-wolf-like monster seemed unharmed.

In other words, from the beginning, that monster was not running away, but just guiding them away from the doorstep of Sunan's castle.

Sweat appeared on Valen's forehead. "It's impossible for there to really be a monster, it must be a person pretending. How could someone be injured and act like nothing happened."

Valen seemed to react. "Quick, kill the soldiers who were injured just now, otherwise they will also go crazy."

Many soldiers in the soldier square hesitated.

There was also a deep camaraderie between the soldiers.

Asking them to suddenly kill their own comrades was undoubtedly too much of a test of humanity.

Frankly speaking, in times of crisis, few people will make accurate and rational behaviors.

Most people would only see that their comrades were only injured, but the superiors wanted to kill them.

The militia captain looked at this scene. He understood in his heart that this infantry square had been destroyed and was no longer effective.

From the castle attic, Sunan observed the entire battle process and remotely commanded the werewolf messenger through the werewolf effect.

The werewolf messenger's basic qualities and 2 points of agility, combined with the wolf venom that can cause enemies to become mentally disordered and kill each other, create an extremely powerful harassment tactic.

Then, the next step is to experiment with the werewolf messenger's ability to manipulate wild wolves.

Under Sunan's control, the werewolf messenger in the jungle, regardless of Valen still deceiving himself and thinking that the monster was a person pretending, directly let out a wolf howl.

There were already many wild wolves nearby, and suddenly many wild wolves appeared from behind the trees in the jungle.

These wild wolves' eyes were green and eerie, and under the werewolf messenger's forced manipulation, they all rushed towards the infantry.
