167: The decisive moment (IV)

“Hahaha…”

Green laughed confidently, easily defusing Douglas Wizard's pressing interrogation. Such a minor issue naturally couldn't stump Green.

Green, full of confidence, meticulously laid out the details of his prepared plan:

“Six hours!”

“I only need six hours to force those Wizards on the hill to obediently come out of their lair and break through in a way that's worse than death.”

“The smoke attack used in the last counter-sniper mission was merely a crude improvisation, which is why it took eight days to be effective.”

“But this time, I've been preparing for this day for a full six months.”

“Hehe, the key to the smoke attack, of course, isn't these mere mundane smokes. These are just smoke bombs to confuse the senses. The real killing move is the six special concoctions I've additionally prepared.”

“With the assistance of these six special concoctions, it's impossible for anyone at the apprentice stage to completely ignore them. In fact, I've conducted experiments; three concoctions are enough to make a Grand Knight suffer. (A certain Adler cried himself unconscious in the corner, 'Using me as an experiment, I'll draw a circle to curse you…')”

“There are two types of biological insects: one is the blood-sucking giant spotted mosquito from the Corrosion Poison Swamp. After special cultivation by a mentor I entrusted, it can use its powerful proboscis to suck blood from the wounds of the Corrosion Poison Rong.”

“The other is the blood-sucking horsefly, a low-level demonic creature with even stronger blood-sucking abilities. I believe all the mentors are well aware of the power of these blood-sucking horseflies, and many of you have brought quite a few.”

...“Indeed, these blood-sucking horseflies are cheap and easy to cultivate. They are an excellent weapon against Blood Rong. We brought quite a few. With them, even if Blood Rong has the thickest skin, it will be useless…”

“Exactly, these blood-sucking horseflies are good stuff. The academy specially cultivated quite a few, but they're hard to deliver up there. There will be a lot of damage when approaching Blood Rong…”

“Don't worry about that. My blood-sucking giant spotted mosquitoes are not just for show. They can act as an aerial transport team. We can stick the blood-sucking horseflies onto the spotted mosquitoes and let the spotted mosquitoes carry them in for us. I've experimented, and the effect is very good. A half-foot-long spotted mosquito can easily carry two three-inch-long blood-sucking horseflies.”

“Haha, you young people really have quick minds! We've always been using witchcraft for deployment. How did we not think of such a good idea?”

Everyone gave very high praise for this ingenious idea, and this divergent thinking also sparked more combination ideas among them… “Cough cough…”

Green cleared his throat twice and continued.

“These two biological insects are aimed at Blood Rong and can effectively weaken Blood Rong's combat power. I have also prepared four special potions, targeting the Wizards of Blood Fortress.”

“Intermediate Itching Potion, 100 tubes. It can be mixed into the smoke and penetrate the superficial skin, causing extreme, unbearable itching that makes people want to scratch more. It's a test of a Wizard's willpower. This can effectively strike at their morale. Most people find it very difficult to endure the first time they encounter this potion…”

“Advanced Mind-Confusing Potion, 100 tubes. It can also be mixed into the smoke and effectively interfere with a Wizard's Spiritual Power perception, confuse their minds, and obscure their death premonition…”

“When they try to break through, they'll realize how effective this stuff is…”

“Advanced Paralysis Toxin Potion, 100 tubes. It can be mixed into the smoke, silently paralyzing the physique of Grand Knight-level individuals, making their legs weak and their physique decline. If enough Advanced Paralysis Toxin Potion is absorbed, even Blood Rong will not be spared and will be paralyzed. At that point, their combat power will inevitably decrease.”

“They'll all become a bunch of weaklings. Won't they be easy to deal with?”

“The fourth type, Intermediate Aphrodisiac Potion. Because the materials are difficult to collect, there are only 30 tubes. Each tube is refined from the male hormones of thousands of estrous bulls using special techniques. Once a small amount is inhaled, it can stimulate the most primitive estrous desires in the human body. No other potion can cure it; one can only relieve oneself…”

“With this potion, they will inevitably fall into disarray and find it difficult to escape. At that time, we will save ourselves some trouble…”

...A moment of silence.

In the small wooden hut, after Green finished speaking, there was a silent stillness. Everyone tacitly remained quiet.

They exchanged glances, secretly communicating something.

Even Douglas Wizard was disheartened and didn't want to say anything, sitting quietly in the corner.

“Cough cough…”

“Uh… well…”

Finally, Vice Dean Bruce Kline, the most senior and prestigious among them, broke the silence and, on behalf of the Wizards, raised a few questions:

“Wizard Green, I'm just asking, the first three potions, the Wizards of our academy have all encountered them and know their specific functions and effects. Your combination is quite good, considering all aspects, and can weaken them threefold in terms of physical body, spirit, and most importantly, combat will.”

“However, this fourth potion, I've lived for over 100 years and have never heard of it, not even a whisper. Where did you get such a strange potion, and is it reliable?”

...“Mentors, seniors, please rest assured.”

Green patted his chest and said:

“Since I dare to bring it out, I am absolutely confident.”

“I'm someone who likes to be straightforward and won't lie or exaggerate the facts.”

“I've conducted rigorous tests on the effect of this Intermediate Aphrodisiac Potion. Just a tiny bit of inhalation can make someone confused and infatuated. Inhale a little more, and it can make someone unable to control their lust. Just one-tenth of a tube can make a Corrosion Poison Rong go into heat…”

“So, this is a general-purpose aphrodisiac potion. Of course, because there are only 30 tubes, the quantity is not quite enough, so it can only affect those Wizards. For Blood Rong, without a sufficient dosage, it's impossible.”

Seeing their strange looks.

Green quickly explained:

“Cough cough, don't guess wildly. I also bought this potion through the black market from Black Wizards. I only use it because I find it effective. You all know that I'm always a pragmatist.”

“If you're interested, you can also buy it yourselves on the black market.”

“Oh, oh…”

“Mm-hmm…”

“So that's how it is…”

“Understood, understood…”

Everyone nodded, showing expressions of realization. As for how much they truly believed in their hearts, only they knew.

Green also pretended not to see, maintaining a pleasant atmosphere for everyone. The wooden hut was filled with a harmonious and cheerful ambiance…
