Trump card - collected tales of Tarhilia
Third Age of Tarhilia, Year 15 of Age of Heros, Casper Empire invaded The Kindom of Rainbow, the two hosts clashes outside of Rainbow City.
But the ones in this tale were not inside of Rainbow City.
And not in the burning battle ground!
But ontop of a little hill beside the main battle ground.
Our four magi, (to be precise are four magi appretience.) and a small band of riders had been surrounded there for 18 hours.
"There is really nothing you can do?"
"There is nothing we can do, sorry."
"Weren't you doing fine in the morning at the top of the hill? Those illusional visions and sounds of troops were so real."
"You have to know us four are just apprentices. The spell we know and we can use are very limited."
"Illusion of vision, and illusion of voice are the highest spell we can use! As you can see we are spent!"
"Also to hold such a vast illusion need the four of us to cast it at the same time, but Paerkar is wounded and is still unconscious!"
"That means you are no different than a normal person?"
"Yes, sir."
"But you can still confuse the enemy via another way. You know, General Eierkar's main host is just at the foot of the hill....."
"Yes, our Master is also there."
"I want you four ride to the city from the back of the hill."
"En? Wait a minute, Sir, you want us to be a decoy? To draw off the surrounding enemy?"
"I just want you guys go home early."
"Sir, in the morning we have delayed the enemy with illusions. Our mission is accomplished."
"Right now the foot of the hill are swarmed with enemy, if we ride out we are dead for sure! Please let us follow your riders and breakout together."
"Breakout together? You useless weaklings will only slow us down."
"We have completed our mission, you are responsible for our safety! How are you going to answer to General EierKar?"
"You should be well aware of our Master's importance to General Eierkar!"
"I say hunchback, you don't understand what it means to be a soldier! Soldier follows order ONLY!"
"Not to threats. When I set out my order is:
"These four renown aprentices of the wizard will help you confuse and drawn on the enemy" It didn't say anything about protecting you!
"Doesn't your great master always open a door and get to wherever he wants to go? Didn't he teach you?"
"How can us low ranked apprentice known a high level spell like Dimension doorway?"
"What about your master's favorite "Armor of the Divine Illumination"? It is said that once casted, no sword or lance can penetrate through?"
"When Eierkar that coward charges, your master always go forth and cast one on him?"
"That damned coward becomes a hero like that, and us soldier that risk our lives?"
"We have to come to be nanies to you weaklings! I am going to teach you what is war!'
"S......SIR!"
"You shameless wizard, for power and position kissing up to the nobles all day, and dare to threaten me!"
"Now lets see! The Noble master is not here, your master is too busy, and your spells are spent......"
"How pitiful! What to do, my little lamb......I am giving you two choices."
"Ride out like a man from the left path!"
"Or my men will tie you onto the horse and let the horse take you back?"
"Okay, commander, assemble the troops, in five mintues if they are still not on the horses....."
"Sir, you can't do this!"
"When they have went down the hill, we will charge out from the right and meet up with Eierkar's Royal Battalion....."
"Don't block my way to the horse! Get out of my way!"
"Sir........"
"Don't waste your breath, kid...."
"You are just looking for a safe breakout back to the castles? I have a simpler way!"
"Lasindor, Lanardor, Immorhar, Dalar."
"En, this.....this blue light!"
"You.....you cast on me......this light and Eierkar's blue light ......"
"Is exactly the same!"
"Armor of Devine Illumination? You......"
"I can hold it for long like my Master."
"15 minutes is the limit, but it is enough for my lord to safely reach the foot of the hill."
"If you wish, I am willing to serve you."
"I will give all for you, help you achieve your wish! Please take me with you!"
"Keep a scoudgel like you by my side, I will die a witless death soonner or later. Get out of my way!"
"I have heard before, wizard is the kind, that will sell you out when danger comes....."
"Not until the end you will never know their trump card!"
"We ride out now. It is time to go home. Leave the wizards behind, they are tough enough to take care of themselves."
"Do not leave even one horse!"
"Charge!"
"Are my eyes deceiving me?"
"They didn't take you with them? Our great genuis!"
"Now you are over here taking care friends? You make me puke!"
"The master is kind to you. When did he teach you "Armor of Devine Illumination"? Even we knew nothing about it!"
"But to survive, even the genuis ends up like us...... What a great trump card? Too bad it is wasted."
"Enough, Siperius. Nobody wants to die."
"Speak! No wonder it is said there is no friendship between wizards."
"We should think about how to get back to the city. It is getting dark....."
"We are best to remain here..... This hill has no much strategic value, Casper's zombies won't pay too much attention to here."
"That is inline with what I think."
"No sound No fire in the night."
"Great, let us plan for the night watch shift."
"I am sorry, please don't count me in for that."
"Master said: "wizards do not do night watches."
"You! You! You arrogant son of gun!"
"Is there a difference for us four to do night watches? I am going to sleep....."
"Stop arguing, keep your voice down, let me do the night watch."
"By the way, I have stabilized Paerkar's wound, so best don't touch him."
"Hey, Yargo, I was too impulsive! Now I finally understands it!"
"Ah!"
"Okay, it is me, who can sleep at this time! Chat with me."
"I finally thought it through. Imerdell, however talented he is, is impossible to cast such a high level spell!"
"You mean?"
"It is scroll"
"But when we setout, Master stated clearly no one may carry a scroll."
"Especially when we left, Master used detecting spell, said doesn't want any to fall into enemy hands!"
"Yargo, you are too naive. I have thought through the whole thing completely."
"Master put groups of four into each rider host, no scroll and no search party for us, WHY?"
"He didn't do this to win this war, but to test our survial skills!"
"You are saying the Master put over 200 apprentices into this hopeless battle, is to....."
"But we are only low level apprentices? Some not even recognized by the Wizard Guild."
"Also, you have to know Paerkar is Master's son! This....."
"Exactly, you have to think it through!"
"That is why Paerkar is in the same group as the talented Imerdell....."
"That is why Imerdell has the scroll of "Armor of Devine Illumination."
"Now it all make sense?"
"Then...then Master gave that to him to protect Paerkar? But he....."
"Exactly, if we told the Master after we returned, he is finished!"
"No, you....you know what kind of person the Master is! He will....he will....."
"Those who betrayed his friend deserves punishment!"
"But if you do that, how it makes you different?"
"You idiot! You......"
"Just pretend I didn't hear it, okay? To live, we could all do terrible things."
"I think he is not feeling well inside either, forget this matter."
"If I have that scroll, what is to say I won't do the same thing!"
"Damn it.....I say Yargo! How do you think apprentices without talent or backgrounds like us can get ahead?"
"Able stand side by side with so many genuis, I am already very grateful...."
The morning after...
"You are awake?"
"Shouldn't that be my question?"
"Those two guys spoke so loud in the middle of the night, I couldn't fall asleep afterwards."
"They really watch the whole night?"
"Yes. Under the circumstance probably only you are dared to sleep."
"I was really tired."
"I know a bit what happened yesterday from their conversation! Thank you for looking after me."
"I will tell my father truthfully. But, there is something I don't understand yet....."
"What is it?"
"You can't possibly have the scroll of Armor of Divine Illumination."
"En?"
"Father is afriad someone will learn it. He never put it down on a scroll."
"It is also impossible for him to teach you, no matter how he appreciates your talent!"
"Then you must have went a third route, but I can't think of how you do it!"
"You are making it too complex."
"The spell of illusional vision you used yesterday morning, I am sure of that, because you are Imerdell.....
Therefore you probably has a beginer level spell, could it be group hypnotisation? You shouldn't know that yet?
"And it takes too much time!" (靠,还是会了.)
"I am more convinced you would never prepare two spells of illusional vision. Yes?"
"I have said, of all the apprentices you know me best!"
"If I know you, I wouldn't spent three hours and still can't understand what happened!" (读者们大喊,老早就知道是变色的闪光术了,笨蛋)
"Adosnafar - Hasiulasa, War Horse Summon!"
"Good, the fat guy should have drawn off the enemy, lets saddle up and go home."
"How many spells you have left, really?"
"Okay, that horse if for you and Yargo!"
"I think it will be very safe to go home from the back of the hill."
"If you don't tell me, I will not leave."
"You know the spell of flash? It usually is a white light."
"But change the material of the spell, and the color changes....."
"Like this!"
"Other than the Tertiary color, I can also cast two other color.....but you know I like blue the most....Can we go home now?" (可怜的胖子成刺猬了)
