Mage Legend-Chapter 15: Episode 5 Questioning

"Lynch, how long do we have to stay here? I'm suffocating," Littlefinger sat in front of the full-length mirror for the tenth time, fiddling with his collection of small pouches. "Wislin won't let us out, so we're just stuck here, watching the boring sun rise and set, then eating and sleeping... I haven't even had a proper look at Moon Harbor City!"

"www.cmfu.com release Lynch sat in the soft chair by the window. The strong midday sunlight filtered through the mesh curtains, casting dappled spots of light, just right on the pages of the book in his hands. Mage Lynch always passed the days with books, but as long as there was a Halfling by his side continuously chattering, even a deaf person could not read in peace.

"www.cmfu.com release "Just these next couple of days. Our Knight and the Dwarf should be returning soon." Lynch closed his book, took the glasses off his nose, and put them in his pocket. "If it weren't because of you, I could've gone out like in the past few days."

"www.cmfu.com release "What's that got to do with me?" Littlefinger asked, puzzled.

"www.cmfu.com release "If I left you here alone, how would that be any different from not having you under watch?" The mage smiled. "Besides, who knows what strange tricks you still have. Alright, stop fiddling with it, that mirror won't double your collection."

"www.cmfu.com release "I just want to take a look, alright..." The Halfling mumbled, stacking his bags in front of the mirror, and admiring his "doubled" collection...

"www.cmfu.com release "Lynch, do you think we'll win?" The Halfling turned around, looking at the mage comfortably lounging in the chair.

"www.cmfu.com release The mage closed his eyes, letting the warm light bathe his face, and sank further into the chair, "It's difficult."

"www.cmfu.com release "So does that mean we won't win?" The Halfling started to hang his pouches back around his waist.

"www.cmfu.com release Lynch didn't answer, his mind constantly considering events after the arrival of the Great Mage. Kuziman was a wise person, but his intelligence did not lie in commanding battles. His arrival gave encouragement to the people of Moon Harbor City, after all, being one of Pate's Seven Great Mages, Kuziman was qualified to be a savior-level existence. But besides that, he had no positive impact. Knight Macken now avoided the old mage under the pretext of military training, leaving Sir Gangsa as the sole target of the Great Mage's incessant chatter. A plethora of dazzling magic defense effects, countless dizzying arcane theories, endlessly pouring from two incessantly smacking dry lips, pouring into Duke Gangsa's balding head, significantly speeding up the Duke's aging process - at least the Duke felt this way, Lynch thought of the Duke's pitiful state a week ago.

"www.cmfu.com release "All just delusions!" Lynch couldn't help but say out loud.

"www.cmfu.com release "What delusions? Is Moon Harbor City untenable? Then what about Wislin? That guy still wants to stay here; should we knock him out and take him away?"

"www.cmfu.com release "It's nothing." Lynch realized his voice had gotten louder and waved his hand, "I was thinking about other things."

"www.cmfu.com release Lynch stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the bustling crowd within the castle through the tall floor-to-ceiling window. Under the command of Sir Gangsa and Knight Macken, everyone was mobilized. Those capable of holding weapons had a sword or crossbow in hand, while those who couldn't were learning how to string with the crossbowmen or helping the warriors carry items. The elderly and women were helping care for the horses and preparing food and other supplies. The entire city was mobilized.

"www.cmfu.com release But is this enough? Lynch placed his hand on the window, lowering his head powerlessly. If it had been a week ago, Lynch would have been ninety percent confident in securing victory. But since Kuziman persuaded Sir Gangsa, the situation had changed. With Moon Harbor City's tall walls and centuries of continuous fortifications, they should be able to defend against those Giants coming to Moon Harbor City. However, Great Mage Kuziman suggested to Sir Gangsa to send troops to lure the scattered Giant intruders of Holy Pate to Moon Harbor City, to eliminate them in one go using the city's defenses. Certainly, utilizing strong defenses could greatly reduce one's own casualties, but facing potentially massive enemy numbers, what use are city walls alone?
