Synthesis Wizard

Night had fallen.

Thick clouds obscured the silver moon in the night sky.

The moonlight was faint, like a soft, hazy ink wash in the pitch-black night, appearing and disappearing.

About five to six hundred meters outside the south gate of Firefly Castle, in a dug-out trench, three scouts were lying in wait, observing the movement of the distant city gate.

“This Firefly Castle is like a turtle shell. We’ve been attacking for so many days and still haven’t taken it down. It’s really frustrating.”

“Sigh, ultimately it’s the Blackrock Beasts. Those monsters are too tricky. I heard they’re Puppet Creatures made by a Wizard.”

“Tsk tsk, a Wizard huh? I heard it’s because of the Wizard in Shining Light Territory that the Marquis sent two Earls together to make such a big fuss.”

“Are Wizards really as powerful as they say?”

The scout lying on the leftmost side said half-heartedly, but after a while, he noticed his two companions were not responding. He turned his head in confusion, only to find they had collapsed on the ground, motionless.

“No good!”

He felt a pang of anxiety in his heart, immediately realizing something was wrong. He was about to spring to his feet, but the next second, he felt a sharp pain in his neck and his consciousness fell into eternal darkness.

Su Nan slowly retracted his palm, his face calm and devoid of any ripple.

With his current physical fitness, which rivaled that of a peak Knight, even without using magic, silently eliminating three scouts who weren’t even Knights was effortless.

Carefully examining the appearance and physique of the corpses, Su Nan then whispered a spell.

In the moonlight, his shape and appearance rapidly changed, in the blink of an eye becoming identical to the deceased scout.

Even the clothes and weapons on his body were exactly the same.

【Magical Disguise】!

This spell could alter the caster’s appearance, including clothing and equipment.

It’s somewhat similar to 【Transformation】.

The difference is that 【Magical Disguise】 can only change the external form, and even if transformed into a creature, it can’t gain the abilities of that creature. Р

Furthermore, human spellcasters can only become human-like, humanoid creatures, or other bipedal creatures that resemble humans, and cannot transform into other species.

Once the disguise was complete, Su Nan woke up the other two scouts and used 【Enchant Humans】 to control them.

Then, he used 【Silent Phantom】 to transform himself into an injured state.

By this time, all the preparations were complete.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Nan ordered the two scouts to carry him, rushing back to the Storm Army camp.

The Storm Army camp was brightly lit.

The dazzling light extended hundreds of meters outside the camp. Anyone approaching would immediately be noticed.

“Halt!”

The guards on duty immediately spotted the approaching three, ordering them to stop.

“We were attacked by the enemy, a brother is injured!”

The guard captain gestured for his men to be vigilant and walked forward to check. He quickly recognized the three as scouts sent out to monitor the city gate. Seeing the bloody wounds on the injured man, his doubts were slightly eased.

“Did the enemy army leave the city?”

“No, Firefly Castle didn’t open its gate. Those who attacked us should only be enemy scouts.”

The guard captain breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the enemy army hadn’t marched out, it was fine.

But just in case, he told his subordinate, “Ham, go and report this to Lord Thomas.”

“Yes, Captain!” A soldier answered and hurriedly left.

The guard captain turned to look at the three scouts, waved his hand and said, “Go in, carefully carry the man to the infirmary.”

The two scouts thanked him and carried the ‘injured’ companion, rushing towards the infirmary deep within the camp.

Seeing this, the guard captain couldn’t help but silently admire the deep camaraderie of these three.

In the center of the camp, the command tent.

In the spacious tent, a group of people sat together.

Earl Storm sat at the head, his face gloomy and silent.

The generals below looked straight ahead, their faces impassive.

After a long silence, Earl Storm finally broke the silence in a hoarse voice.

“It’s been five days, why haven’t you been able to take down Firefly Castle with such a large force advantage? Give me a reasonable explanation!”

Several older generals twitched their eyes, secretly slandering in their hearts.

Force advantage, my ass.

It’s true that our army is more numerous than Firefly Castle, but Firefly Castle also has the elite Blackrock Cavalry.

Not to mention, those five hundred Blackrock Beasts used for defense are more useful than ten thousand soldiers.

If it weren’t for the fact that we also have a considerable number of Knights, let alone attacking the city, the Baron of Shining Light might have already led his men to charge out.

Being able to say such a thing shows that the new Earl Storm’s military skills are questionable, far inferior to his brothers.

But then again, if he wasn’t mediocre and easy to control, Marquis Gold Rock wouldn’t have put him in power.

As if realizing his gaffe, Earl Storm took a deep breath, calming his anger, and said coldly, “Kei, this cowardly fellow, is hiding in the city and won’t fight us head-on. Can we bypass Firefly Castle and directly attack Shining Light City to force him out?”

As soon as he said this, the corners of everyone’s mouths twitched even more violently.

A general finally couldn’t hold back and said, “My Lord, if we don’t take down Firefly Castle first, if Firefly Castle sends troops to attack us from the rear while we’re attacking Shining Light City, the consequences will be unimaginable!”

Earl Storm’s expression froze.

He understood that he had asked a stupid question.

Angry, he said, “This won’t work, that won’t work, you guys just give me a solution!”

Everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with helplessness.

After a long time, an older general finally suggested, “My Lord, actually, we don’t need to rush. Time is on our side. As long as we wait for Earl Frost to capture Chi Lin City and join us, then we can combine the forces of both armies and take down Firefly Castle easily.”

Earl Storm’s face turned black.

How could he not understand this logic?

But if he really did that, the credit for conquering Shining Light Territory would be mostly taken by Earl Frost.

He was not willing to be a stepping stone for Earl Frost!

Thinking of this, Earl Storm, with a dark face, rejected the proposal. “No, we must take down Firefly Castle before Earl Frost arrives!”

The generals exchanged glances, their faces showing a common look of helplessness.

Just then, a commotion came from outside.

Earl Storm was already in a bad mood, and hearing this, he was furious. He slammed his fist on the table and roared, “Who dares to break camp discipline and make noise in the middle of the night? Drag him out and hang him!”

“My Lord, something’s wrong!”

The general who had spoken earlier suddenly jumped up, before Earl Storm could respond, he rushed out of the tent with a solemn expression.

The others also reacted and rushed out of the tent.

Once they left the tent, the sound became much clearer.

Everyone could hear the intermittent screams coming from the distance.

“That direction… is the infirmary!” The general’s face changed dramatically.

At this moment, a messenger ran over in a panic, knelt on one knee and said urgently, “My Lord, there are monsters appearing in the infirmary!”

“Monsters? What kind of monsters?” Earl Storm was full of disbelief.

But soon he didn’t need to wonder any longer.

With a deafening roar, a tent hundreds of meters away was blown into the sky. The wind scattered the smoke and dust, revealing a human-shaped creature behind, four to five meters tall, entirely made of rock.

With a casual punch, it smashed several soldiers, armor and all, into a pulp. A huge pit instantly appeared on the ground.

The terrifying force made the hair of many generals stand on end.

Further away, many identical rock monsters were wreaking havoc, slaughtering the panicked soldiers.

“What… what’s going on?”

Earl Storm’s eyes widened in horror as he stared at the monsters.

This was the core of the camp, heavily guarded by tens of thousands of troops. How did these monsters get in here?
