傍晚时分,一个军营在殊比亚城不远处的荒野上悄然立起。站在城墙放眼看去,可见连绵成片的帐篷。帐篷上各式旗帜在黄昏的夕照里随风扬动,放置在帐外的盾牌以及刀剑则折射出个个金黄的光晕。一道道炊烟在营地里升起,然而营地外还有陆续人马赶到。

“试招。”艾伦手中长刀不是赤王,也并非龙焰,仅是把寻常的钢刀,它唯一的优点是没有偷工减料。事实上,也没有武器商敢对帝国军队的制式装备动手脚。艾伦拎刀站在这些草人前,与最近一个草人相距三米,最远那个至少有十来米。他眯了眯眼,突然一刀挥出。Leftthatstraw man the armtohimflewrecently, behindleft sideanotherstraw man, then the chest frontrips opentogether the opening.

离他最近那个草人左边手臂飞了起来,左侧后方另外一个草人,则胸前撕开一道豁口。艾伦皱了皱眉头,转了一圈又走回来,抬手又是一刀。这次右侧两个草人同时中刀,草叶纷飞。NearbyRegishad a yawn: „What are you doing?”
旁边的雷杰斯打了个哈欠:“你在干什么?”Allenshrugs, when heinconsciousnessdeep placethatpiece of burnton the groundtofightinginnumerableunusual animals, thattypeby an enemythousand, even the enemyten thousandscenesstillcame clearly into view.

Inconsciousness the worlddoes not have the fetter of physique, heturns into the fire, to become the wind, intent, ever changing, allattackswithout restraint of style. Butnow, his blade, is not always actually ableto achievein the consciousnessworldthathaving one's wishboundary.艾伦耸肩,他在意识深处那片焦地上对战无数异兽时,那种以一敌千,甚至敌万的场景仍历历在目。他打算将那场大战的经验,再加上这北上一路而来所经历的融会贯通,创招出新的刀技来。他有想法,有感觉,可真正运用起来,却是另外一回事。在意识世界里没有形体的束缚,他化成火、成为风,意之所至,千变万化,所有攻击不拘一格。而现在,他一人一刀,却总无法达到意识世界里那种随心所欲的境界。Hewields the thirdblade.
他挥出第三刀。Thislaststraw manblasts outloudly, Alleninsertstowardon the ground the bladesimply, settles downto rack one's brains.
这次最后一个草人轰然炸开,艾伦干脆把刀往地上一插,驻足苦思。„Personis always used to placeon a thingattention, can the dual purposebe the talentis wholeheartedly excellent, do threewith, fouruse? Thatbasethis ismonster, moreoveras far as I know, but alsowithoutsuchcharacterappears.”Soundresounded, whenBellekepulls out the smokernot to knowstood onRegissidesuddenly.

“人总是习惯将注意力放在一件事物上面,能够一心两用已经是天赋过人,三用、四用?那基本是怪物了,而且就我所知,还没有这样的人物出现。”冷不丁一把声音响了起来,贝勒凯抽着烟枪不知什么时候站在雷杰斯的旁边。直到他说话,雷杰斯才下意识地跳了起来,表情尴尬。贝勒凯走到艾伦旁边,突然抬手一挥,从他掌中电射出数道黑线,钉在那些草人上。Allenlooks, the chestposition of eachstraw manis all inserting a throwing knife.

The keyis whether youcantrustit?”艾伦看去,每个草人的胸口位置皆插着一把飞刀。其中一些草人还给挡住,所以贝勒凯这看似简单的攻击,却包含了许多学问在里面。贝勒凯耸耸肩:“既然没办法一心数用,那就干脆不要特意去锁定每一个对手。让刀锋代替你的双眼,让它自己去判断要攻击哪些个目标。关键在于,你是否能够信任它?”Beckons, thatseveralthrowing knivesthenfly back to the Bellekehand, the Night Shadowround tripwalks.

Bellekeactuallystopped, sighed: „AllenCounthas the presentstrengthyoung, high of yourtalent, ismyentire lifeonlysees. Iwhen your age, let alonewieldsthisblade, halfbladecannot wield.”
招了招手,那几把飞刀便飞回贝勒凯手中,夜影往回走。艾伦突然拨刀,斩击,没有丝毫犹豫。雷杰斯皱着眉头,看不懂艾伦这一刀的用意。贝勒凯却停了下来,叹道:“难道艾伦伯爵年纪轻轻就有现在的实力,你的天赋之高,是我生平仅见。我在你这个岁数的时候,别说挥出这一刀,就连半刀也挥不出来。”Allenexhales the tone, said with a smile: „Thatalsohasraising of SirNight Shadow, otherwiseIcannot wieldjust nowthatblade.”艾伦呼出口气,微笑道:“那也是有夜影大人的提点,不然我怎么也挥不出刚才那一刀来。”„Do not be immodest, byyourtalent, thatbladeissooner or latermatter.”
“别谦虚,以你的天赋,那一刀是早晚的事。”Regisseizessaidcrazily: „Do not patronizeare hitting the riddle, whotoldmejust nowwhat happened?”雷杰斯捉狂道:“你们别光顾着打哑谜啊,谁来告诉我刚才发生了什么事?”Just nowsays that 78vertical strokesflewin the straw mansimultaneouslyhead of on the ground, disperseseverywhere the longgrass.

才刚说完,那七八个竖在地上的草人同时脑袋飞了起来,散成满地长草。雷杰斯张了张嘴唇,他像明白了什么,又似乎什么也没有看明白。„, Right.”Bellekepatted the head saying: „Almostforgot the proper business, AllenCount, Woodrickhopes that youattended the eveningoperationalconference.”
“哦,对了。”贝勒凯拍了拍脑袋道:“差点忘了正事,艾伦伯爵,伍德里克希望你出席晚上的作战会议。”„Thankofficially informs, SirNight Shadow.”
“感谢知会,夜影大人。”„Calledme the nameto be good, Sirand so onlooked on as an outsider.”Bellekesmilinglysaid.
“叫我名字就行了,大人什么的多见外啊。”贝勒凯笑眯眯地说。Arrivedevening, a messengersawAllen, andleadshimto the Woodrickarmytent/account.

WheneverbigGeneralpolitelyinquired when hisopinion, Your HighnessPrincealwaysaftergivingcomment, the decision-making powerwill hand overin the Woodrickhand.
到了晚上,一名传令兵来见艾伦,并把他带到伍德里克的军帐。军帐里仅站着数人,巨龙军大将伍德里克正看着桌上一个沙盘。在他旁边的是副官麦卡迪,一个留着八字胡,表情肃穆的男人。朱里安则满脸兴奋,不过他还算按捺得住自己的心情,也没愚蠢到去指挥伍德里克干活。每当大将军礼貌性地询问他的意见时,皇子殿下总是在提出意见后,将决定权交到伍德里克手中。
Such a, in the armytent/accounthas the Juliansound, actuallyalsodemonstrateshim the respecttoWoodrick. Generally speaking, Julian in the journey of thispunitive expeditionactsmanyshouldbe a witnessandparticipant, butabsolutelyis not a commander. Hedid not have the experience of directorarmyfight, let alonethisWoodrick, preciselyAllenbe wiser than hundredtimeshim. So far, Julianstrictly observes the oneselfduty, has not interfered with the military affairs, thisis praiseworthy.
这么一来,军帐里既有朱里安的声音,却也显示出他对伍德里克的尊敬。总的来说,朱里安在这次讨伐之旅中扮演更多的应该是一名见证者、参与者,但绝对不是指挥官。他还没有指挥大军战斗的经验,这点别说伍德里克,便是艾伦都要比他高明百倍。直到目前为止,朱里安都严守自己的本份,没有干涉军务,这点值得称赞。Inarmytent/accountenoughcomponent, butalsoenoughleisurely and carefree, whenisBelleke. Hetomarchingto go to warto seem like the interest in lack, the sitting aloneone sidesmokes like a chimney, saw when Allengreetslazily, thencontinuesto enjoyhisfoggrass.
军帐里够份量,可也够悠闲的当属贝勒凯。他对行军打仗似乎兴致缺缺,独坐一旁吞云吐雾,看到艾伦时懒洋洋地打了声招呼,便继续享受他的雾草。„AllenCount, youcome to see......”Woodrickto beckon, hintAllento go forward. Allenis impolite, arrives at the table. On the tableis a sand table, cansee the angrycorner/hornforestclearly, as well asafter thatMillahan. Millahanthiscityactuallynot necessarilybig, butit is actually guards the isolated hillicefieldimportantnarrow mountain pass. Empirewill arrangesuchcityhere, there is its strategic significanceininside.
“艾伦伯爵,你来看看……”伍德里克招了招手,示意艾伦上前。艾伦也不客气,来到桌边。桌上是个沙盘,可以清楚看到怒角森林,以及其后的密拉罕。密拉罕这座城市其实不见得有多大,可它却是把守孤山冰原的一个重要隘口。帝国会在这里摆下这么一个城市,也有其战略意义在里面。
It can be said that Millahanisleads to the isolated hillicefield a gateway, butthisgatewayexceptionallyis stern. Woodrickmade the introduction of simpleforit, Millahan can definitely regard assmall-scalestronghold. Itscitytall wallis thick, originallyisguardsbyStag Armylegion, butbefore the roaring flameartilleryissuemanifesto, the Millahangarrison troopsgave the substitution. The one whoreplacesStag Armylegionis a Countprivate army, JerioCountcan be called a real powerfeudal lordabsolutely. Hisprivate army„Hell Dog” the trainingsound thorough, hasbeyond the cavalries, the flintlockteamsandinfantrythesethreeconventionalbranch of the services, a specialteam.
可以说密拉罕是通往孤山冰原的一道门户,而这道门户则异常森严。伍德里克为它做了简单的介绍,密拉罕完全可以看成一座小型要塞。它城高墙厚,本来是由雄鹿军一支军团把守,但在烈焰炮发布宣言之前,密拉罕的守军就给替代了。代替雄鹿军军团的是一位伯爵的私人军队,杰里奥伯爵绝对称得上一名实权领主。他的私人军队“地狱犬”训练有素,拥有骑兵、火枪队和步兵这三个常规兵种之外,还有一支特殊的队伍。Thatisarmies comprised ofseveral hundredwickedwolves, is the truewild animal. In the JerioCounthandhasa group ofeducators, theyseize the wild wolfto performtraining, andmakesthemput into the fight. The educatorswill smudgespecially-madeliquid medicinesto the allied force, theywill disperse the smell that the issueonlywild wolfcan smell, differentiates the enemy and ourselvesbythis. In addition, the educatoralsoaccording to the battlefieldneed, establishedseveralspecialstrategiestothesewild animals, a amonghotwolftacticis quite headachy.
那是一支由数百头恶狼所组成的军队,是真正的野兽。杰里奥伯爵手中有一批训兽师,他们捉来野狼加以训练,并让它们投入战斗。训兽师会给友军涂抹一种特制的药水,它们会散发出只有野狼闻得到的气味,以此来区分敌我。除此之外,训兽师还根据战场需要,给这些野兽制定了几种特殊战略,其中一种火狼战术颇叫人头痛。„WhatImosthave a headacheis notJerioeducates the young the dogdogs that butisMillahanitself. Only ifJeriowilling to standcomes outto surrender, otherwisemustbreak throughMillahanatourstrengths, mustpay the considerably largeprice. Raiseswhile convenient, ourJerioCountitselfis a 27levels of heavyswordsman.”
“不过我最头痛的并非杰里奥蒙养的狗狗们,而是密拉罕本身。除非杰里奥肯站出来投降,否则以我们的力量要攻破密拉罕,也要付出相当大的代价。顺带一提,我们的杰里奥伯爵本身是一位二十七级的重剑士。”„Then......”puts down the smoker, Bellekesaidsuddenly: „Beforeattacking a city, Idid not mind that first takesthisJerioCountsevered head.”
“那么……”放下烟枪,贝勒凯眨眼道:“在攻城之前,我不介意先取走这位杰里奥伯爵的首级。”„No, SirNight Shadow.”Woodrickshakes the head saying: „Ihope that youpreserve the completecondition, youropponentshouldbeMason, rather thanJerio. Althoughtroubled, butMillahandid not have the qualificationsto block the Giant Dragon Armystep, therefore this firstfight, pleasefeel relieved that gaveus.”
“不,夜影大人。”伍德里克摇头道:“我希望你保存完整的状态,你的对手应该是马森,而不是杰里奥。虽然麻烦了点,可密拉罕还没资格挡住巨龙军的步伐,所以这第一场战斗,请放心交给我们吧。”„Entirely according to your convenience.”Bellekelet go saying that not cared a whoop the suggestion of oneselfto give the bigGeneralrejectionactually.
“悉听尊便。”贝勒凯摊手说,倒是丝毫不在意自己的建议给大将军拒绝了。Looks that on the sand tableis representing the Millahanmicromodel, Allennarrowed one's eyes. At this timeBellekeunintentionallookedtowardhim,on the mouthis hanging a smile.
看着沙盘上代表着密拉罕的微缩模型,艾伦眯了眯眼。这时贝勒凯有意无意朝他看去,嘴上挂着一丝笑容。„Quick-action! Yourtheselazygoods, whoaskedmeto notice that heis loaf, the leather whip on myRoquebigmanpowerwas not the ornaments!”Is red the upper body, the skinglossymanis lifting the whipto wieldtoward the air, extracts the lightsound.

“快动起来!你们这些懒货,谁叫我看到他在偷懒,我罗克大人手上的皮鞭可不是摆设!”一个赤着上身,皮肤油亮的男人举着鞭朝空气挥动,抽出啪啪轻响。他有时会用长鞭抽在某个苦力上,留下一道血痕,却没有哪个苦力敢有怨言,毕竟在不远处,穿着黑甲,戴着恶犬头盔的士兵正虎视眈眈。Thatis„Hell Dog”legionsoldier, the cooliesbelievesunderthesehard helmetsisfacefromhell.

那是“地狱犬”军团的战士,苦力们相信那些头盔下是一张张来自地狱的脸孔。他们正将块块方整的石条运上城墙,用以加固并升高密拉罕的卫墙。同时,需要数十人合力才能拉动的投石机、火炮等器械也在陆续运上城市的卫墙,把本来就如同一个要塞般的城市打造得更加坚固了。OnJeriostood oncity wall.杰里奥正站在城墙上。ThisCountjust whenmaturity, hisstatureexceptionallytall and strong, even ifinside the tallnorthern borderman, 230centimetersheightis still rare.

这位伯爵正值壮年,他身材异常魁梧,纵使在身材高大的北境男人里头,230公分的身高依旧少见。杰里奥伯爵就像一座会移动的小山,他身上朴素,但绝对沉重的盔甲让伯爵看上去更像一个战争堡垒。盔甲上那些笔直的尖刺,以及胸铠的地狱犬浮雕,使伯爵浑身散发着恐怖的气息。伯爵的药剂师会在那身盔甲上藏着硫磺,通过几个小巧的机关,在需要的时候可以喷出火焰。既能伤敌,亦能制造出伯爵想要的舞台效果。据杰里奥说,那样看上去他更像是来自地狱的恶魔。Jeriois leaning onhisgigantic sword„wolf fang”, thatis an edgecovers entirelygreat sword of staggeredcanine, was cutnot to feel the swordbythiscomfortable, butthisconforms toCountto likewith the painsuffering the style of enemyvery much.

Just before leavingheremembers the words that Masonspoke: „MillahanArmamenttotooth, mySirCount.”杰里奥拄着他的巨剑“狼牙”,那是一把边缘布满交错犬牙的大剑,被这把剑砍到绝不会感到舒服,而这很符合伯爵喜欢用痛苦折磨敌人的风格。伯爵满意地看着第三架投石车被拉到卫墙上,并固定在他想要的位置上。他想起临走时马森说的话:“把密拉罕武装到牙齿,我的伯爵大人。”„Iam doing that.”Jeriomuttered.
“我正这么做呢。”杰里奥喃喃说。
