“狄多对此也有些不满,不过她说戴弗斯国王特地给她写了一封信,希望她不要阻碍汉诺这些人逃往东地中海,否则他们遇害的消息传回迦太基,让迦太基贵族们感到恐慌,从而使得迦太基与戴奥尼亚结盟一事出现波折……哦,戴弗斯国王他还承诺,即使汉诺他们逃亡泰尔,也逃脱不了戴奥尼亚的惩罚,不过那不是现在……”„Thissayingwhatmeaning?!”Hasdrubal the Fairwinkedunder the eye, slightlyobviouslysurprisedasking: „Does King Davos have the wishto declare wartoPersia?!”
“这话什么意思?!”哈斯德鲁巴眨了下眼睛,略显吃惊的问道:“难道戴弗斯国王还有意愿向波斯宣战?!”„Thisis not implausible.”Kiessalsonoticedthese wordsobviously, on the way ofcarefullyhas analyzed, thereforehesaid: „The easternPhoeniciaareais the Persiavassal state, theysend the fleetto participate in the westernMediterraneanwar, in fact was equal to that Persiadeclares wartoTheonia, butboth sidescontinuouslyto the presenttacithas not mentionedthis matter.

“这并不是没有可能。”基斯戈显然也留意到了这句话,在回来的途中认真的分析过,所以他说道:“东腓尼基地区是波斯的属国,他们派舰队参与西地中海的战争,实际上是等于波斯向戴奥尼亚宣战,只是双方一直到现在都默契的没有提及此事。不过,在西地中海战争快结束时,波斯曾经派使者向戴奥尼亚国王要求停止对迦太基的战争,据说还做出威胁,遭到了戴弗斯国王强硬的回绝,戴弗斯可是一个具有强硬性格的国王,他恐怕一直惦记着这事……”„With the Persiacombat!......”Hasdrubal the Fairdepends ontoward the chairbackon the body, in the eyereveals the infiniteexpectation, hesomewhatexcitingsaying: „Daresto fightwithpowerfulPersia, thisiskingdomproperbearing in a rise!

“和波斯作战啊!……”哈斯德鲁巴将身体往椅背上一靠,眼中流露出无限的憧憬,他有些兴奋的说道:“敢于和强大的波斯交手,这才是一个崛起中的王国应有的气度!看来我也需要在这里多立一些战功,将来能够率领军队亲自找汉诺报仇!”................................................
…………………………………………5days later early morning, the Theoniamilitary compoundinLundiaterritory, the sentries on topis going on patrol.
五天之后的清晨,在佛罗伦提亚领地内的戴奥利亚军营,城头上的哨兵们正在巡逻。„Looksquickly! Has the enemy intelligence!” A sentryhandrefers to the front, shoutsloudly.
“快看!有敌情!”一名哨兵手指前方,大声喊道。Saw onlyin the northmountain ridgeto raiseblack smoke......
只见北面的山岭里升起了一股黑烟……Hefinishes speaking, actuallysaw that the northeastdirectionin the mountain ridgealsoraisedblack smoke, is the Northwest......

在短短的片刻工夫,在哨兵们视线所及的地方,至少有六、七处黑烟直冲云霄,它们都是建造在军营四周山岭里的哨塔所为,平时能同时看到两股黑烟都是很难得的了,而像今天这样的情况却是前所未见。„Informedlegatus, the Gaulto invadequicklyon a large scale!”Teamofficeranxioussaying of patrol.
“快去通知军团长,高卢人大举入侵了!”巡逻的队官紧张的说道。Shortly, constantly sound the alarm bell in military compound.
没多久,军营内的警钟长鸣。
The soldiersdressrapidly the armor, with the goodweapon, to rushfrom the dormitory.
士兵们迅速穿戴好盔甲,拿好武器,从宿舍中奔出来。Civilian area'speoplealsoobtained the urgent notice, theycarry the importantthingto be assortedrapidly, flees to this not farLundiacityin abundance.
平民区的民众也得到了紧急通知,他们迅速携带重要的物什,纷纷逃往离此不远的佛罗伦提亚城。Hasdrubal the Fairsurrounded bysubordinates, mounted the northtop, happen tosaw that tens of thousands ofGaulsgush outfrom the mountain ridge, denseto/clashesto the military compound.
哈斯德鲁巴在下属们的簇拥下,登上了北面的城头,正好看到成千上万的高卢人从山岭里涌出,黑压压的向军营冲来。

如此庞大数量的高卢人,哈斯图鲁巴也是第一次见到,但战争经验丰富的他并没有慌张,而是神情镇静的说道:“立即通知全营士兵准备防御!同时派出传令兵,通知另两个军营的部队坚守营地不得相互救援!”„Yes!”
“是!”„Immediatelysends out the messenger, rushes toRome, is in dangertoRomeareachief executiveAsistes, said that the GaulinvadesEtruscanon a large scale, askinghimto rescue!”
“立即派出信使,赶往罗马,向罗马地区行政长官亚西斯特斯告急,就说高卢人大举入侵伊特鲁里亚,请他救援!”„Yes!”

布置完这一切,哈斯德鲁巴看了看周围有些紧张的士兵们,大声的喊道:“边境军团的士兵们,都说高卢人可怕,但是我们多次战胜过他们!现在别看他们兵多,但这些土著人不擅长攻城,而我们拥有坚固的城防、充足的军粮,只要坚守十天-半个月,王国的援军就会到来,到那时候再配合他们,一起将入侵的高卢人消灭。你们立下了大功,王国说不定会奖励你们,缩短你们成为正式公民的年限!”„Roar! Roar! Roar!......”Soldierssend outexcitinghowling.
“吼!吼!吼!……”士兵们发出兴奋的吼叫。...................................................
……………………………………………In the evening, will soon conduct a banquetin the RomeadministrationadjutantCrotokataxmansion, celebrationthisprinceis promoted to love the chief executive.
傍晚,在罗马行政副官克洛托卡塔克斯的府邸即将进行一场宴会,庆祝这位王子升任维爱行政长官。
The guests who invitedhave arrived at the seat, except for the most importantGuestRomeareachief executiveAsisteshas not arrived, therefore the banquethas not started.
所邀请的客人都已到席,除了一位最重要的客人-罗马地区行政长官亚西斯特斯还未到达,因此宴会还未开始。Non-travelerpeopleknow the Asisteslot of work, moreoverusuallynever attended anybody'sbanquet, thesecomplies to cometime, thatalsobecause of the Crotokataxspecialstatus. Cancomeiseveryone'sbeing honored, therefore the guestshave the anticipation, patientwaiting.
不过客人们都知道亚西斯特斯事务繁忙,而且平时从不出席任何人的酒宴,这一次答应要来,那也是因为克洛托卡塔克斯的特殊身份。能来就是大家的荣幸,所以客人们都带着期待,耐心等待。In on head of banquet, Crotokataxis having the happyconversationwithhisbrother-in-lawPatroclus.
在宴席的上首,克洛托卡塔克斯正在与他的姐夫帕特洛克罗斯进行着愉快的交谈。SincePatroclusbecametenthfourlegatus after last year, twoare the relatives, nowlivesnear, thereforethere aremanycommunications, the relationsalsobecomeintimate.
自从去年帕特洛克罗斯就任第十四军团长之后,两家本是亲戚,如今又住得较近,所以有了较多的来往,关系也变得亲密。At this moment, the personanxioussteprushes in the hall, saidloudly: „Sir, justreceived the news, the Gaulinvades the Etruscanterritoryon a large scale, SirAsistesordersyouto rush to the localadministrationhallimmediately, discussed the countermeasure!”
就在这时,有一个人急步闯进大厅,大声说道:“诸位大人,刚刚接到消息,高卢人大举入侵伊特鲁里亚的领地,亚西斯特斯大人命令你们立刻赶往地区行政厅,商量对策!”
The peoplerecognizethisare the Asisteslaw clerks, the order that hetransmitsnaturallycannothave the false, atbanquetin an uproar, butno onefirstleaves, looked at the master of banquet.
众人都认出这是亚西斯特斯的书记官,他传达的命令自然不会有假,宴席上一片哗然,但没有人抢先离开,都把目光投向了宴会的主人。Crotokataxis without hesitationstands saying: „Gaulinvasionis the important matter, wemusthurryto rush to the administrativehall!”克洛托卡塔克斯毫不迟疑的站起来说道:“高卢人入侵是大事,咱们得赶紧赶往行政厅!”Thenhemustsayto the servant: „Packswellallfood, escorts to the administrativehall! Tonighteveryone could bustle aboutto the night, howwithouthaving the dinnercaneatgetting down that supports!”
接着他要对奴仆说道:“把所有的菜肴都打包好,送往行政厅!今天晚上大家可能要忙碌到深夜,没吃晚餐怎么能吃撑的下去!”
The servantshurrybusily, guestsboastsCrotokataxthinksthoroughly, whilefollowed close onhimto have the mansion.
奴仆们赶紧去忙碌,客人们一边夸克洛托卡塔克斯想得周到,一边紧跟着他出了府邸。Ininside room, Dimanyalso the family of move of entertaining a guestpeople, said that iscelebrates the husbandto be promoted, butiscelebration„Hanno(Hannonian)is also pursued, Carthageto join the Theoniaunion”to this important matter.
在里屋,狄多也正在招待客人们的家眷,说是庆祝丈夫升职,但对她而言也是庆祝“汉诺被驱逐、迦太基加入戴奥尼亚同盟”这件大事。
The after news of hallpasses to the inside room, the womenseemstartled, onlyhasDiseemscalm, shecomforts the peopleloudly: „Fellowmadames, have nothingto be worried!

大厅的消息传到里屋之后,女人们都显得惊慌,唯有狄多显得镇定,她大声的安慰众人:“各位夫人,没什么可担心的!高卢人的军队远在伊特鲁里亚北部,有我们的边境军团牵制着;我们罗马地区和周围的这些盟邦也会很快组织起一支庞大的援军,渡过台伯河,去将侵入伊特鲁里亚的高卢人击退;在我们的南面,王国得到消息后,会很快送来更多的援军,高卢人根本不可能踏入罗马地区土地一步,你们就放心吧!……”UnderDimanycomforts, the wives of theseofficialsnot onlyrelieved ofgraduallyscared, but alsoeatsveryhappily.
在狄多的安慰下,这些官员的夫人不但渐渐释去了恐慌,而且还吃得很开心。................................................

The Romeareaadministrationhall is also located in the Romecity, was only separated bytwoblocksfrom the city hall, whenCrotokatax, Patroclusand the othersentered the conference room, Asistesis issuing the ordertoofficialshand/subordinate.罗马地区行政厅同样设在罗马城内,距离市政厅只相隔了两个街区,当克洛托卡塔克斯、帕特洛克罗斯等人走进会议室的时候,亚西斯特斯正在对手下的官员们下达着命令。„Youleaveto rush toCirceiiimmediately, informsVolscians, makingthemsend out the reinforcementsaccording to the treaty of alliance, withGaul who ourarmiesresist the invasion!”
“你立刻动身赶往塞尔舍,通知沃尔西人,让他们依照盟约派出援军,和我们的军队一起抵御入侵的高卢人!”„Yourush toFallonto raiseRomimmediately, toldHernicans, the Gaulcame, makingtheircall armycome the Romeconvergence!”
“你立刻赶往弗伦提鲁姆,告诉赫尔尼基人,高卢人来了,让他们召集军队前来罗马汇合!”„YouinformSabinpersonimmediately, makingthemsend out the reinforcementsas soon as possible......”
“你立刻去通知萨宾人,让他们尽快派出援军……”................................................

After a famousofficialreceives the order, the going outconference roomhurriedly, including the familyalsoreturnswithout enough time, acts as the messenger, ridesto start, takesaccompanies, rushes to the destinationin the night.
一名名官员接到命令之后,急匆匆的走出会议室,连家也来不及回,就充当信使,骑上马,带上随从,在黑夜中赶往目的地。AsistesseesCrotokataxto come, sinceresaidtohim: „Verysorry, keepingyourbanquetfromholding. Moreoveris faced with an archenemy, the Romecitymanpowerare tight, youas the Romeadministrationadjutant, basicallyassumed full responsibility of the maingovernment affairs of Romecityin more than one year, thereforeIhave torequestyouto suspendtaking officeto love, the assistanceImanagegoodRomeagaintemporarily, simultaneouslyshouldersto complete the heavy responsibility of logistics supportfor the army!”亚西斯特斯看到克洛托卡塔克斯进来,正色的对他说道:“很抱歉,让你的宴会无法举行。而且大敌当前,罗马城人手紧张,你作为罗马行政副官,这一年多来又基本包揽了罗马城的主要政务,所以我不得不要求你暂停上任维爱,协助我再暂时管理好罗马,同时担负起为军队做好后勤保障的重任!”
After Asistesbecomes the Romeareachief executive, duty that Davoshas not downloadedhisformerRomechief executive, but alsomakeshimcontinueto hold a concurrent post. Asistesbecause without great powerto forget oneself, instead„mustmanage the administrationandunbearably busy of entireareaon the grounds of”, makes the decision: Graduallytakes over control of the RomeadministrationbyCrotokatax.亚西斯特斯就任罗马地区行政长官之后,戴弗斯并没有卸掉他原罗马行政长官的职务,还让他继续兼任。亚西斯特斯却并没有因为大权在握而忘乎所以,反而以“自己要管理整个地区的行政事务、忙不过来”为由,作出决定:由克洛托卡塔克斯逐渐接管罗马的行政事务。Heten thousandhas not thought that laterDavosoneyearwill assign to loveCrotokatax.
只是他万没有想到在一年之后戴弗斯会将克洛托卡塔克斯调往维爱。„Iam willingto obeySirAsistesyourarrangement, toresist the Gaul, defends the Romeareato contribute the maximumstrength!”Crotokataxresolutesaying.
“我愿意听从亚西斯特斯大人您的安排,为抵御高卢人、保卫罗马地区贡献自己最大的力量!”克洛托卡塔克斯语气坚定的说道。AsistesexpectsCrotokataxto replyearlylike this,hearrangesthisyoung peopleto leada group ofofficialsto take inventory the material reserves of Romeareaimmediately, the estimatecanreassignmanyfood and materials to supply the armyfor these years.亚西斯特斯早料到克洛托卡塔克斯会这样回答,他立刻安排这位年轻人带领一批官员去清点这几年罗马地区的物资储备,估算能抽调出多少粮食物资以供应军队。
After receiving the duty, Asistesturns aroundto askPatroclus: „Ihave sent peopleto inform the Latinallied country, Volsci, HerniciandMarschperson, Aequians, Sabinperson...... with the influence that weform an alliance, makingthemsend out the reinforcementsandweresists the Gaultogether, according to the pastexperience, youthinks how longneedsprobably, can theylead the armyto collectRome?”
接待完任务之后,亚西斯特斯则转身问帕特洛克罗斯:“我已经派人去通知拉丁盟邦、沃尔西、赫尔尼基、马西人、埃奎人、萨宾人……等与我们结盟的势力,让他们派出援军和我们共同抵御高卢人,根据以往的经验,你认为大概需要多长时间,他们能够率领军队汇集到罗马?”Becausethese two yearsGaulattacks the Etruscannorthterritoryto be getting more and more frequent, oncetobe forearmed, after Patroclusarrives atRome, had organizedtwice the military training with the allied countryarmytogether, generally speakingeachallied countryalsocalculates the coordination.
由于这两年高卢人侵袭伊特鲁里亚北部领地越来越频繁,为了有备无患,帕特洛克罗斯来到罗马之后曾组织过两次与盟邦军队一起进行的军事训练,总的来说各个盟邦还算配合。Patroclusthinks,said: „Is away fromusto be nearlike the Latinperson, Volscians, Hernicans, the armywill comequickly, in45dayscanarrive;Sabinperson, Aequians, Marschperson...... the distanceis far, at leastalso89days. However, the presentis the Gaulinvadesto nearon a large scale, Ithinkspeed that theywill also pick upto mass troops. Nownorthsituationhow?”帕特洛克罗斯想了想,说道:“像拉丁人、沃尔西人、赫尔尼基人距离我们较近,军队会来得快一些,四五天内就能到达;萨宾人、埃奎人、马西人……距离较远,至少也得八九天。不过,现在是高卢人大举入侵在即,我想他们也会加快集结军队的速度。现在北面的情况到底怎么样?”
