I channeled Minor Healing with the rest of my spirit and slumped to the ground. I wished now I'd thought to Siphon Essence at least one of them. But the familiar battle lust had held me, and there was no stopping me from killing then.

I sighed and rose. If those two mounts went back to the Cerulean host, they'd assume their scouts had fallen and would know their enemy was here. I had to go about the rest of my plan and fast.

I ran toward the road and the passing army, slowing and falling into a crouch as I drew near. It took a bit of searching to find the command tent again, but soon I was stalking it from the sidelines. I took a deep breath. It was now or never. Dawn was coming, and I didn't doubt the attack was coming with it.

Summoning up the new knowledge I'd gained, I cast Mass Deception. A hundred Naiad soldiers swirled into existence around me. I was amazed at the detail of them; every gill and rough bump of their skin was perfectly carved out. The only exception to their flawlessness was a slight transparency when I looked directly at them. I hoped that was just a quirk for the caster. I also tried putting a hand through one to see how solid they were and was pleasantly surprised to find them sturdy. I tried lifting myself up on the shoulders of two nearby and managed it. Good — they could be used as shields as well as ladders then.

I took a few deep breaths, then quaffed one of my mana potions and waited until my meter was back up to full. No more delays now. I sent my block of soldiers marching forward, myself in the middle of them.

Almost as soon as we’d emerged from the trees, someone shouted something in the Naiads’ language. I didn't slow my soldiers but kept them moving toward the tent. Naiads all around the great tortoises fell into defensive positions, tridents aimed at us, though I thought I saw uncertainty in their expressions. They couldn't tell my illusion apart from their own soldiers.

One of the Naiads addressed my troops again, but once more, I couldn't understand them. Talking clearly wasn't going to get me anywhere. With a thought, I compelled my first line of soldiers to start mounting the huge palanquin. The shouting came once more; I guessed it was a final warning. I pushed through my block of soldiers to the front, then jumped onto one of their backs and started to climb.

The Naiad soldiers only waited a moment before attacking, driving their tridents into my false infantry. Smoke-like puffs emerged from my soldiers’ wounds, and I saw the enemy recoil in confusion for a moment. I pressed the advantage and gave a mental command to my illusions to start attacking. As chaos spread around the palanquin, I climbed up the last of my soldiers’ backs and slipped inside the heavy curtains.

Inside was brightly lit with sun-pearls, and for a moment, I was dazed at the intensity of the light.
