The 36 th hour of battle, DukeFernandezdropped down, thistoBenedictsecondwithout doubtwas a badnews.
开战的第三十六个小时,费尔南德斯公爵倒下了,这对班尼迪克二世来说无疑是一个再糟糕不过的消息了。Hemustface the silver moonknightgroupalone, onetotwohours of relaxation timeswill not haveoccasionally. Meanwhile, receivesnews that DukeFernandezdrops down, FernandezDukecloseallyDukeTangiers was not possibleto appearinLion Capitalin a short timeperipheral.
他必须单独面对银月骑士团,连偶尔一到两个小时的休息时间都不会有了。同时,接到费尔南德斯公爵倒下的消息,费尔南德斯公爵的亲密盟友唐吉斯公爵短期之内也不可能出现在狮王都周边了。
The time of failure, to him, has startedto approachwith the smallchronometer.
失败的时刻,对他来说,已经是以小时计地开始靠近。Thereupon, the 40 th hour of battle, Benedictsecondmade a decisionto shiftdecisively.
于是乎,开战的第四十个小时,班尼迪克二世果断做出了一个决定转移。Hediscardedpart of armiesincludingwounded soldieron own initiative, changes the formation, enduresdoes not sentence to payraids, towardeast that the silver moonknightis rolling. Finallywhenmade war the 52 nd hourto entereasttown, occupied the castle and castleperipheraldefense facility. Startsto depend upon the castleto confrontwithGray.
他主动舍弃了包括伤兵在内的一部分部队,改变阵型,忍受着银月骑士团的不断追袭,往东。最终在开战第五十二个小时的时候进入了东面的一个城镇,占据了城堡以及城堡周边的防御设施。开始依靠城堡跟格雷对峙。Naturally, waits forhisis defeatedas before, butcanpersist inbeing longer. Althoughexistencebecause ofcastle, the Graysilver moonknightgroupis unable to display the mobileadvantagelike the field operation, butfood, becomes the majorproblem of Benedictsecond.
当然,等待他的依旧是失败,只是能坚持得更久一些罢了。虽然因为城堡的存在,格雷的银月骑士团无法像野战一样发挥机动优势了,但食物,成为了班尼迪克二世的大问题。
The designonlyheld the castles of 1000soldiersaftercrushing into10,000soldiers, the environmentbecomesextremelybad. Butkeeps in stockfood that including the castle, the food in hishand, onlysufficessupportthiscurrently alive, ten thousandpeople of armyless thanoneweek of time. After that henothing butis facingthreeresults. Goes out of the castleto continueby the Graysilver moonknightgroupto be harasseduntil the armycollapsesthoroughly, orstarves to deathin the castle, eitherhas the mutinybecause ofhungryagain.
原本设计只容纳一千士兵的城堡在挤进了一万士兵之后,环境变得极为恶劣。而包括城堡本身库存的食物在内,他手里的食物,只够支撑这支仅存的,万人的部队不到一周的时间。在那之后,他无非面临着三种结局。走出城堡继续被格雷的银月骑士团骚扰直至军队彻底崩溃,或者饿死在城堡里,再或者因为饥饿而发生兵变。Butat the same time, Eirenehas startedto draw from himwith the soldier who DukeFernandezescapeshand/subordinate.
而与此同时,依琳已经开始收拢从他跟费尔南德斯公爵手下逃亡的士兵。Without a doubt, thisis a nightmare. ButGrayis the nightmare.
毫无疑问地,这就是一场噩梦。而格雷就是梦魇。„Imustinsist,Ido not believe that churchthatgroup of old men, will tolerate his!”Benedictsecondsaidbitterly.
“我得坚持下去,我就不信了,教会那帮老头,会容忍他这样!”班尼迪克二世恨恨地说道。

……Meanwhile, has flownlike the snowflakefromLion Capitalnewstoentirecontinent.
与此同时,来自狮王都的消息已经如雪花般飞向了整个大陆。If after the war of White City, Grayis on the historical arenaby the paladinstatusofficially, what are moreisasreligionwords of symbol. Thenthistime, Lion Capitalcavalrygrabs the war, without doubtadded on a halo of feudal lordinhishead. The entirecontinentpowerful officialshave toface up tothispaladin that is shouting loudly the justslogan, underbraveincomparablesilver moonknightgroupwithhim.
如果说白城之战之后,格雷以圣骑士的身份正式登上历史舞台,但更多的是作为一个宗教的象征的话。那么这一次,狮王都的骑兵劫掠战,无疑在他的头上加上了一层领主的光环。整个大陆的权贵们都不得不正视这位高呼着正义口号的圣骑士,与他麾下骁勇无比的银月骑士团。It can be said that person who eachseesthisnews, is dumbfounded. EspeciallyshockingthinkingwasAllenKingKnight III and church.
可以这么说,每一个看到这个消息的人,都是目瞪口呆的。这其中,尤为震惊的想必就是艾伦国王巴奈特三世和教会了。
......
……„What's all this about! Yousaidobviouslyhehas not obtained the holy spiritdecree! Nowtellsmewell! What's all this about!”Knight IIIgraspsseveralconfidential letters that were just delivering, is beingoneroarstochaplainright in the face: „Do youwantto tellmethisarehisoriginalstrength?”
“这是怎么回事!你明明说他没有得到圣灵的旨意的!现在好好告诉我!这是怎么回事!”巴奈特三世握着刚刚送到的几封密信,对着随军牧师劈头盖脸就是一顿咆哮:“你是想告诉我这就是他本来的力量吗?”
The pastormade excusessaid: „Perhaps, your majesty, Imeansperhaps, this is really hisrealstrength......”
牧师支支吾吾地说道:“也许,陛下,我是说也许,这真的是他真实的战力……”„Is the realstrength that entiresilver moonknightrollsalsothis?”Knight IIIstaredin a big way the eye, selectedconfidential letter, pattedon the face of chaplain: „Does not knowexhaustedly! Does not needto eat food! Does not needto drink the water! 24hoursbattlecontinually! Even the severe wound can still be healedimmediately! Youtoldme, suchpowerfulbattle efficiency, was not blessedbyholy spirit! Actuallywhereto come!”
“那整个银月骑士团的真实战力也是这样?”巴奈特三世瞪大了眼睛,将密信一份份挑出来,拍在随军牧师的脸上:“不知疲惫!不用进食!连水都不用喝!二十四小时持续作战!即使重伤也能立即痊愈!你告诉我,这么强悍的战斗力,不是受到圣灵的祝福!究竟是哪里来的!”Chaplainwas pattedcould not open eyes, can only stayis standing.
随军牧师被拍得都睁不开眼了,只能呆愣地站着。Arrivedfinally, Knight IIIretrocedesstep by step, saidpantingly: „Igiveyounow the lastopportunity, immediatelygoesto ascertaintome, givesme a satisfactoryanswer. Otherwise, consequence that enrages the king, youunderstand!”
到最后,巴奈特三世一步步后退,气喘吁吁地说道:“我现在给你最后一个机会,马上去给我问清楚,给我一个满意的答复。否则,激怒国王的后果,你懂的!”„Is...... is!”
“是……是!”
......
……Holy Synod.教廷。In the dignifiedandsacredmain hall, red clothesbishop of cardinalinstitutegatheredoneonce again, complexions were quite dignified.
庄严而神圣的厅堂内,枢机院的红衣主教们又一次聚集到了一起,一个个脸色都颇为凝重。Centerput on the Pope of gold inlaywhiterobeto close the eyesimply.
正中穿着嵌金白袍的教宗干脆闭上了眼睛。Clergystepped the footsteps, the bow the bodywere walkingfromoutside, in the handholds a correspondence, correspondenceabovebrings the redsealing wax.
一位神职人员迈着脚步,躬着身从外面走了进来,手中托着一份信函,信函上面带着红色的封蜡。„PopeSir, is the Allenkingdombishopexpress.”
“教宗大人,是艾伦王国主教的急信。”„Youlook.” The Popehas not opened the eye.
“你看一下吧。”教宗连眼睛都没睁开。„Yes.”Nearbyred clothesbishopreceived the correspondencefrom the clergyhand, disassembled, lowers the headto sweeptwo. The expressionsomewhatwas immediately awkward.
“是。”旁边的红衣主教从神职人员手中接过信函,拆开,低头扫了两眼。表情顿时有些尴尬了。„Whatsaid?” The Popeaskedin a soft voice.
“说什么?”教宗轻声问道。„AllenKingKnight IIIis angry, hehad the feelings of distrusttous. Heis interrogatingus, requestingusto give the explanationtothese daysat the war that Lion Capitalhad. Beforeobtainingouranswers, hewill suspendmarching.”
“艾伦国王巴奈特三世非常愤怒,他对我们产生了不信任感。他在质问我们,要求我们对这几天在狮王都发生的战事做出解释。在得到我们的答复之前,他将暂停进军。”Saying, thatred clothesbishophad givenotherred clothesbishop the letter/believes in hand, makingthemcirculate for perusal.
说着,那红衣主教已经把手中的信递给了其他红衣主教,让他们传阅了起来。All of a sudden, red clothesbishopon the scenestartedto discussseriously.
一下子,在场的红衣主教们开始面色凝重地讨论了起来。„Matterlooks likeusimaginesalsowantsto be worse.”
“事情看来比我们想象的还要糟糕许多。”„Ifholy spirithas not grantedhim the strength, strength where hecomes? Hehas degenerated, has made the transactionwith the devil?”
“如果圣灵没有赐予他力量,他又是哪里来的力量?难道他已经堕落,跟魔鬼做过交易了?”„Is impossible, ifhehas tradedwith the devil, wewill definitely receive the enlightenment of holy spirit.”
“不可能,如果他已经跟魔鬼交易,我们肯定会收到圣灵的启示。”„The presentsituationdegeneratedbadalsocompared withhim. Ifhedegenerated, weat leastcanannounce that hefor the heresy, thenlaunches the holy war. Ifhehas not degenerated, means that ouranythingcould not do.”
“现在的情况比他堕落了还糟糕。如果他堕落了,我们至少可以宣布他为异端,然后发动圣战。而如果他没有堕落,就意味着我们什么都做不了。”
The Popecloses one's eyes, calmlyis listening.
教宗闭着眼睛,静静地听着。„What to do should that? Ifouranythingdoes not do, may welcome the worst result. Thatafterdefeatingto challengehisfeudal lord, heturns into a thoroughtheocracycountryIsaac. Butwe...... webecause of the beforehandrelations, evenis unable to meddle. GeneralcontinentappearsbesidesHoly Synod another strength of representativeholy spirit, butweeven must acknowledge that heis the orthodoxstrength.”
“那应该怎么办?如果我们什么都不做的话,可能会迎来最糟糕的结果。那就是在击败挑战他的领主之后,他将以撒变成一个彻底的神权国家。而我们……我们因为之前的关系,甚至无法插手。大陆上将出现除了教廷之外另一股代表圣灵的力量,而我们甚至还必须承认他是正统的力量。”„Beyond controlpaladinis badenough, if a beyond controltheocracycountry...... Ifelt, since thiswill have beenover ten thousandyears, biggestcrisis that Holy Synodwill suffer.”
“一个无法控制的圣骑士已经够糟糕了,如果是一个无法控制的神权国家的话……我觉得,这将是上万年以来,教廷遭遇的最大的危机。”Allred clothesbishoplookedtoward the Pope, wantsto obtain an enlightenment. However, the Popecloses one's eyesas before, butcalmlyis listening.
所有红衣主教都朝着教宗望了过去,希望获得一点启示。然而,教宗依旧闭着眼睛,只是静静地听着。Red clothesbishop in main hallwere silent.
厅堂里的红衣主教们都沉默了。Some little time, somepeoplesaidin a soft voice: „Weknow nothingabouthim, thisismost essential. Wehave not thoughtcompletelyhewithoutholy spirithelp, the sufficientstrengthresistsotherfeudal lords. Thismadeusingive upstandingfrom the beginningin his sideopportunity. Nowwemustreexaminethisissue. Perhaps, weshouldsend peopleto attemptto contacthimagain, through the mediation, helpinghimresolve the crisis. Thisat leastcanavoid, oncehisestablishtheocracycountry, aspect that wedefinitelyare unable to meddle.”
好一会,才有人轻声说道:“我们对他一无所知,这是最关键的。我们完全没有想过他在没有圣灵帮助的情况下,还有足够的力量对抗其他领主。这使得我们在一开始就放弃了站在他那一边的机会。现在我们必须重新审视这个问题了。也许,我们应该派人再次尝试接触他,通过斡旋,帮助他解除危机。这样至少可以避免一旦他成立神权国家,我们完全无法插手的局面。”„But, ifwemake a moveto mediate, howshouldconfesstothesekings?”Somepeoplespoke of: „Hegains the victory, establishing the theocracycountryis only a possibility. Ifwespeak forhimnow, evenparticipates in the mediation, howthenoncontinent the remaining22royal courtsshouldregardus? Before3000, weattemptedto establish the thoroughtheocracycountry, the resultreceived the hugerebound, oncemadeusfall the bottomin the continentinfluence. Nowtheocracycountry of allroyal courtstoestablishing are quite sensitive. Does not intervenetheirrules, isbetweenweandthem the tacit understanding. Before we must tryagainonetime3000, strategy that is defeated?”
“可是,如果我们出手斡旋,对那些国王又该如何交代呢?”有人说到:“他取得胜利,建立神权国家只是一种可能。而如果我们现在表态支持他,甚至参与斡旋,那么大陆上剩下的二十二个王室该怎么看待我们?在三千年前,我们曾经尝试过建立彻底的神权国家,结果是受到了巨大的反弹,一度让我们在大陆的影响力掉到了最低点。现在所有的王室对建立神权国家都极为敏感。不干预他们的统治,一直是我们跟他们之间的默契。难道我们还要再试一次三千年前失败的策略?”„Do not intervenetheirrules, weneed the fuzzystandpointatthismatter. If by some chancepaladinGrayreallywon, established the theocracycountry, ournotAs forloses the controltothiscountrythoroughly.”
“并不是要干预他们的统治,我们只是需要在这件事上模糊一下立场而已。万一圣骑士格雷真的获胜了,建立了神权国家,我们不至于对这个国家彻底失去控制。”„Buttheseroyal courtsdo not think. So long as the tendency of oura littlesupport, theythinkslightlyweincolludewithpaladinsecretly, prepareto threatentheirrules.”
“但那些王室们可不这么想。只要我们稍微有一点支持的倾向,他们就会认为我们在暗地里跟圣骑士勾连,准备威胁他们的统治。”„Ifweestablish the theocracycountryafterhimmeddled the Isaacbusiness, isn't same? Theseroyal courtssamethink that wehave stoodthat sidepaladin, thinks that from the beginningisweconspireswithpaladinGray. In that case, how should wechoose? Gives up a controltonationalchurchdirectly, orsuffers the beliefcrisisinallcountriessimultaneously?”
“如果我们在他建立神权国家之后插手了以撒的事务,不也一样吗?那些王室一样会认为我们已经站到圣骑士那边,认为一开始就是我们跟圣骑士格雷密谋的。在那种情况下,我们又该怎么选择呢?直接放弃对一个国家教会的控制,或者在所有国家同时遭遇信仰危机?”„In fact, even ifweare willingto give upcontrollingto the Isaacchurch, should still cause the seriousbeliefcrisis. Thisiswithout a doubt. Because ofwhen the time comes, Generalcontinentpresentstwoinfluence that representsholy spirit, whom the believerswill startto have doubts to believe......”
“事实上,即使我们愿意放弃对以撒的教会控制,也会造成严重的信仰危机。这是毫无疑问的。因为到时候,大陆上将出现两个代表圣灵的势力,教徒们会开始疑惑应该相信谁……”Everyoneagainwas silent.
所有人都再次沉默了。Thisis an extremelybadsituation, eachred clothesbishopon the sceneunderstands.
这是一个极为糟糕的处境,在场的每一位红衣主教都明白。OnceGraysucceeds in building the theocracycountry, they can only facetworesults. First, theyparticipate in thistheocracycountry, Holy Synodwill be forced the royal courtswithallcountries, is the As foraristocratquarrels. AllcountriesbesidesIsaacwill present the beliefcrisissimultaneously. Second, theydo not participate in thistheocracycountry. Then, Generalcontinenthastwoto be able the representativeholy spiritinfluence, moreoveracknowledgetomutuallylegitimate. If by some chancepaladindoes requestregionalchurchesthento give loyalty to himby the power and influence of war? Similarlybelieves the crisis.
一旦格雷成功建立神权国家,他们就只能面对两种结果。一是他们参与到这个神权国家之中,那么,教廷将被迫跟所有国家的王室,乃至于贵族反目。除了以撒之外的所有国家将同时出现信仰危机。二是他们不参与到这个神权国家之中。那么,大陆上将存在两个能代表圣灵的势力,而且是互相承认为正统的。万一圣骑士凭借战争的威势要求各地教会转而向他效忠呢?同样是信仰危机。Choice question that thishas not chosentogether.
这根本是一道没有选择的选择题。
The silent, for a long timesilence, eachred clothesbishop can only look at the Pope.
沉默,许久的沉默,每一位红衣主教都只能望着教宗。For a long time, the Popeopens the eyeslowly, askedin a soft voice: „Whatpersonwehave, has the friendshipwithpaladinGray? At leastneeds to contactto obtainpaladinGray.”
许久,教宗缓缓睁开眼睛,轻声问道:“我们有什么人,跟圣骑士格雷有交情的吗?至少要能接触得到圣骑士格雷的。”Somepeoplesaid: „Probably, calledDean. Beforewas the pastor in White Citychurch, nowhad been arrangedtoLion CapitalbyAnthony III.”
有人说道:“好像有一个,叫迪恩。之前是白城教堂的牧师,现在已经被安东尼三世安排到狮王都去了。”„PromotingAnthony IIIisred clothesbishop, allowinghimto enter the cardinalinstitute. PromotingDeanisnewIsaacbishop, makinghimcontactpaladinGray. Wetohim, whatknownwastoofew. Moreover, asking the Andrewwizardto come.”
“晋升安东尼三世为红衣主教,让他进入枢机院。晋升迪恩为新任以撒主教,让他去接触圣骑士格雷。我们对他,知道的还是太少了。另外,请安德鲁大法师过来一趟。”„Respectfully followsyourinstruction.”Has defendedinnearbyclergydelimited a crossin the chest frontrespectfully, withdrew fromout of the door.
“谨遵您的吩咐。”一直守在旁边的神职人员恭敬地在胸前划了个十字架,退出了门外。Is observing the situationsurroundingred clothesbishop, the Popesaidin a soft voice: „Since the establishment of theocracycountry, will makeusfall into the thoroughdilemma, in any eventchooseswill not have a goodresult. Then, in any eventdo not makeitestablish.”
环视着周围的红衣主教们,教宗轻声说道:“既然神权国家的成立,会让我们陷入彻底的两难境地,无论如何选择都不会有一个好结果。那么,就无论如何不要让它成立。”Red clothesbishopon the scenelower the headsilently, salutes. Twodeliver! Thank the fruitoil, to find the clue make, dimensionto keep watch, the mikasmallcuteandboredwhite mouseandperson the poorwillto be shorter, grdotcockroach, fensmartsnowhealth/guardChanghittingto enjoy.
在场的红衣主教们都默默地低下头,行了个礼。二更送上!感谢果油、摸摸头、次元守望、mika小可爱、无聊的小白鼠、人穷志更短、gr丶小强、蒶靈雪卫长的打赏。
