„...... Sorry!” Although is apologizing, but liking of whole face is still cannot prevent overflows. “啊……对不起！”阿苏娜虽然在道歉,但满脸的欢喜依然是阻挡不住的溢出来。 Lies down by visits her in Cheiristoya of bedhead, does not stand her to infect, shows a happy expression: „Heard your laughter very much, said that what good deed had?” 躺靠在床头的克莉斯托娅看着她,也不禁受她感染,露出一丝笑意:“很远就听到你的笑声了,说吧,有什么好事？” „Madame, loves Madame Gorney...... not, two princess Sirs! Congratulates you, council just announced, sets up Sir Davos for King Theonia!” Said the happiness in heart. “夫人,爱葛妮丝夫人……哦不,两位王妃大人！恭喜您们,元老院刚刚宣布,立戴弗斯大人为戴奥尼亚国王！”阿苏娜一口气将心中的欢喜说出来。 On the elegant face of Cheiristoya is also brimming with liking similarly, covered weak after birth completely. At this moment, she remembers suddenly: After once happy loves, Davos had once said high-spirited, ‚Cyrus the Younger has nothing greatly, in the near future I will make you also become the princess!’...... Davos, he really achieved! 克莉斯托娅的俏脸上也同样洋溢着欢喜,完全掩盖住了生育后的虚弱。此刻,她蓦然记得:有一次欢爱之后,戴弗斯曾意气风发的说过,‘小居鲁士没什么了不起,不远的将来我会让你也当上王妃！’……戴弗斯,他真的做到了！ Loves Gorney not like Cheiristoya and excitement, after all Magna Graecia has been far away from king Zheng several hundred years, regarding this does not have too many feelings, she is happy for the husband. 爱葛妮丝不像克莉斯托娅、阿苏娜那样的激动,毕竟大希腊已经远离王政几百年了,对此没有太多的感觉,她只是为丈夫感到高兴。 „Two princess Sirs, when Cynthia, Actoris come back from the school, we hold a banquet, joyfully celebrates this good news, what kind of?!” Put forward the proposal, Cheiristoya only slightly made the thinking, shook the head saying: „Now the people of alliance are worrying for the war, worried for the family member, we held the banquet to celebrate at this time, will annoy the person to be repugnant, will harm the Davos reputation!” “两位王妃大人,等辛西娅、阿多里斯从学校回来,我们举行一个宴会,欢庆这一喜讯,怎么样？！”阿苏娜提出建议,克莉斯托娅仅略作思索,就摇头说道:“现在联盟的民众都在为战争担忧,为亲人担忧,我们在这时举行宴会庆祝,会惹人反感,会有损戴弗斯的声誉！” „Right that princess Sir said.” Said hastily. “王妃大人说的对。”阿苏娜连忙说道。 „‚Princess’ this word do not say, matter has not determined completely, we should not be extremely self-satisfied!” Cheiristoya also reminded her. “‘王妃’这个词儿也不要说了,事情还没有完全确定下来,我们不要太过得意！”克莉斯托娅又提醒她。 „Yes, I thought that the beforehand name, making people feel kind.” Likes Gorney interposing: „Was inferior that tonight we to the god sacrificial offering, let us thank them at home to our blessings, and hopes they can bless Davos to be able coming back of is well!” “是啊,我觉得还是以前的称呼好,让人感到亲切。”爱葛妮丝插话道:“不如今晚我们在家里向神祗祭祀吧,感谢他们对我们的赐福,并希望他们能庇佑戴弗斯能够平安无事的回来！” „Younger sister's proposition was good! We should offer sacrifices to Hades, thank him to bless our husband! Simultaneously-” Cheiristoya smiles is looking to loving Gorney: „We must offer sacrifices to Hera, thank smoothly Eunice who she blessed me to give birth to the health, and hopes she can bless you also smooth giving birth child!” “妹妹的这个提议太好了！我们是应该向哈迪斯献祭,感谢他庇佑我们的丈夫！同时-”克莉斯托娅微笑着看向爱葛妮丝:“我们还要向赫拉献祭,感谢她保佑了我顺利生下健康的尤妮丝,并希望她能够保佑你也顺利的生下孩子！” „Un!” Likes Gorney caressing the slightly raised abdomen lightly, shows the loving mother smile. “嗯！”爱葛妮丝轻抚微凸的腹部,露出慈母般的微笑。 „!!!......” At this time, Eunice in cradle awoke. “哇！哇！哇！……”这时,在摇篮里的尤妮丝醒了。 „Oh, my little princess!” Is busy at collecting, lifts the diaper to look: „She drew, but also are many!” Saying, very skilled replacement diaper...... “哎哟,我的小公主！”阿苏娜忙凑过去,掀开尿布一看:“她拉了,还不少啦！”说着,很熟练的更换尿布…… .......................................... …………………………………… In the morning, the Crotone people were continued the bugle sound of long cry to blow to awake by the city outside in abundance. 清晨,克罗托内的民众纷纷被城外持续长鸣的军号声吹醒。 „What happened?” “发生什么事了？” „Perhaps is the Syracuse person must attack a city!” “恐怕是锡拉库扎人要攻城啦！” ...... …… People gate terrified looks to the top of distant place standing soldier. 民众门惶恐不安的看向远处站满士兵的城头。 Suddenly, a sunspot passed over gently and swiftly from the city wall. 忽然间,一个黑点从城墙上空掠过。 „Quick avoidance!” The people are alerting each other, aims at direction that the stone ejection comes, scatters in all directions to run off. They are very familiar with Syracuse this type of horrifying weapon, for these days it in the attack to Crotone city had not stopped. “快躲避！”民众们相互提醒着,瞅准石弹射来的方向,四散跑开。他们已经对锡拉库扎这种可怕的武器很熟悉了,这几天它对克罗托内城内的攻击就没有停止过。 However today's situation obvious nearby on the 2nd was different, marbles one after another has grazed the top, pounded approaches the block of city wall to the city, quick causes the house to be broken, rubble everywhere. The people are supporting by the arm the injured family member, scatters in all directions to run away...... 但是今天的情况明显跟前两日不同,石弹一个接一个的飞掠过城头,砸向城内靠近城墙的街区,很快就导致房屋残破、瓦砾遍地。民众们搀扶着受伤的亲人,四散逃窜…… The marbles are shelling the city wall time and time again, causing the pyrrosia lingua to fall downward...... 石弹一次又一次的轰击着城墙,导致石皮一片一片往下掉…… In the top looks that all these Lysias start at heart anxiously: „Why the Theonia crossbow artillery team did not counter-attack, does the ignores enemy fire the marbles like this unscrupulously?” 在城头看着这一切的吕西阿斯心里开始焦急:“戴奥尼亚的弩炮队为什么一直不反击,放任敌人这样肆无忌惮的发射石弹？” „Sir Lysias, Theonian does not have the means.” Has exchanged multiple Askamas to explain with the crossbow artillery team: „The turret in our city wall is too narrow, cannot admit a crossbow artillery, they can only put under the city the crossbow artillery. However the city wall is also too high, the crossbow artillery has to raise the elevation angle, such firing distance will shorten......” “吕西阿斯大人,戴奥尼亚人也是没有办法。”已经跟弩炮队交流过多次的阿斯卡玛斯解释道:“我们城墙上的塔楼太窄,放不进一架弩炮,他们只能将弩炮放到城下。但是城墙又太高,弩炮就不得不抬高仰角,这样射程就会变短……” „In other words they are unable to attack the crossbow artillery of enemy!” Lysias understood what is heard. “也就是说他们无法攻击到敌人的弩炮！”吕西阿斯听明白了。 „Yes. Therefore Theonian put forward the proposal, first do not expose us to have the crossbow artillery, when the enemy felt relieved the attack, then gave them to attack heavily.” Although before Lancet Tamasi, does not have the favorable impression to Theonia, however is faced with an archenemy, he also fully realizes the importance of unity, therefore honest saying: „I thought that this method is feasible.” “是的。所以戴奥尼亚人提出建议,先不要暴露我们拥有弩炮,等敌人放心进攻时,再给予他们沉重打击。”阿斯塔马斯虽说之前对戴奥尼亚没有好感,但是大敌当前,他也深知团结的重要,因此坦诚的说道:“我觉得这个方法可行。” Lysias thinks, approved the suggestion of Theonia crossbow artillery team reluctantly: „But now we what to do? The crossbow artillery number that today the enemy uses were obviously more than couple of days ago, I feared that the city wall will be rumbled to collapse!” 吕西阿斯想了想,无奈的认可了戴奥尼亚弩炮队的建议:“但现在我们怎么办？今天敌人使用的弩炮数量明显比前两天多,我怕城墙会被轰塌！” „Relax, will not have this situation temporarily.” Askamas comforted him saying: „We now only then waits for the enemy to attack, then attacks fiercely them! I believe that the Syracuse person will take action quickly!” “放心吧,暂时不会出现这种情况。”阿斯卡玛斯安慰他说:“我们现在只有等待敌人进攻,然后痛击他们！我相信锡拉库扎人很快就会采取行动的！” Lancet Camas is speaking, the eye has actually been looking keenly at outside the city beyond the dead ahead dozens meters that is built by the Syracuse person day after day spacious also wants the high earthen rampart compared with the city wall, he thinks that compares the crossbow artillery, this threatens the thing of top defense truly. Yesterday his Zeng-school soldiers took risk to go out of town, wants to destroy it, finally had the Syracuse person of protection to rout early. He has also once thought dug the said/tunnel in the past, when the city outer ring around the moat, the said/tunnel dug to the moat following presented the seep, frightened the soldiers to hurry to retreat, will otherwise likely be drown to death in the said/tunnel. Finally is Theonian tells him, ‚has the means to destroy that earthen rampart.’ Makes him feel relieved temporarily. 阿斯卡马斯说着话,眼睛却一直紧盯着城外正前方几十米外由锡拉库扎人连日修筑的那一堵宽大的比城墙还要高的土垒,他认为相比较弩炮,这才是真正威胁到城头防御的东西。昨天他曾派士兵冒险出城,想把它摧毁,结果被早有防备的锡拉库扎人击溃。他还曾想过挖地道过去,怎奈城外环绕着护城河,地道挖到护城河以下时出现渗水,吓得士兵们赶紧撤退,否则很可能会被淹死在地道里。最后是戴奥尼亚人告诉他,‘有办法摧毁那座土垒。’才让他暂时放下心来。 Askamas knows: Do not look at now on the earthen rampart the nobody left, when attacks a city starts, above will stand the Syracuse archer, in the soldiers to top launches the arrow arrow...... 阿斯卡玛斯知道:别看现在土垒上空无一人,等到攻城开始时,上面就会站满锡拉库扎弓箭手,对城头上的士兵们发射箭矢…… „I have a look at the Terina person, here all gives you!” Lysias serious saying, the continuous bellow makes his mood highly tense, as if city wall momentarily collapse, therefore he wants to hurry to leave here. “我去看看特里纳人,这里就全交给你啦！”吕西阿斯郑重的说道,持续不断的轰鸣声让他心情高度紧张,仿佛城墙随时都会倒塌似的,所以他想赶紧离开这里。 Happen to today Siprus leads the Terina soldier to defend north city, as the Crotone chief general, has certainly the necessity to salute. Simultaneously must salute has to defend Scylletium several thousand soldiers in south city, that similarly is the strength that can have a high opinion. Because Syracuse slaughters the Scylletium city, the family member good friends of these soldiers were not killed, was sold to be the slave, to detain toward the foreign land, the anger of Scylletium soldier must be able to subside with the blood of Syracuse person, they most hope the Syracuse person comes to attack. 正好今天西普洛斯带领特里纳士兵防御北城,作为克罗托内的首席将军,当然有必要去慰问一下。同时还要去慰问的有防御南城的西里庭几千士兵,那同样是一支可以倚重的力量。因为锡拉库扎屠戮西里庭城,这些士兵的亲人好友不是被杀害,就是被卖做奴隶、押往异乡,西里庭士兵的愤怒必须要用锡拉库扎人的鲜血才能平息,他们是最希望锡拉库扎人前来进攻的。 Lysias was just about to leave, the guard actually transmits the urgent report: Outside the harbor presents the warship of innumerable Syracuse person, is preparing to intrude the bay. 吕西阿斯刚准备离开,卫兵却传来急报:港口外出现无数锡拉库扎人的战船,正准备闯入海湾。 Crotone is somewhat similar to Taranto, their harbors and city synthesizes a body, but the harbor constructs in Gulf, because the bay is big, Crotonians is impossible to block, when therefore the fleet of enemy rushes, possibly lands( i.e. the southeast of city) behind the side of Crotone city, although there also constructs the city wall, but during defense city wall, but must be vigilant that the enemy advances the harbor, the landing pier, this to the direction and judgment requirements of series soldier general is high, particularly in the situations of Crotone not too many military. 克罗托内跟塔兰图姆有些相似,他们的港口和城市本身是合成一体的,但是港口是建在海湾里,由于海湾较大,克罗托内人根本不可能进行封锁,因此当敌人的舰队闯进来时,就可能在克罗托内城的侧后方登陆(即城市的东南方),虽然那里也建有城墙,但在防御城墙的同时,还要警惕敌人突进港口,登陆码头,这对统兵将领的指挥和判断要求较高,尤其是在克罗托内没有太多兵力的情况下。 „We need experienced general, directs harbor area not many soldiers, preventing the enemy to sneak attack our rear areas!” Askamas dignified saying. “我们需要一个经验丰富的将领,指挥港口区不多的士兵,阻止敌人偷袭我们的后方！”阿斯卡玛斯神情凝重的说道。 Lysias understands that his meaning, does not have hesitant saying: „I will send Milo to go.” 吕西阿斯明白他的意思,没有犹豫的说道:“我会派米隆去的。” Milo, former Crotone chief general, since leads the army to rout after Theonia, was pursued by Carlo Toller citizen, he has to run up to was away from the Crotone not far Peloponnese peninsula, in loving in Lyss seashore small town Rehan lives in seclusion. 米隆,原克罗托内首席将军,自从率领军队大败于戴奥尼亚之后,被克罗托勒公民驱逐,他只好跑到了距离克罗托内不远的伯罗奔尼撒半岛上,在爱利斯境内的海滨小城科里恩隐居。 Until the Syracuse army invaded Magna Graecia, Crotone then decided to recall in the past the sent into exile people, with the aim of working as one to fight with the Syracuse person. Milo receives the news, returns to Crotone immediately, but the Crotone army had embarked to go to Scylletium at that time, therefore he has treated as an ordinary citizen in the city, began using until today. 直到锡拉库扎大军入侵了大希腊,克罗托内这才决定召回以往被放逐的国人,以便同心协力与锡拉库扎人战斗。米隆一接到消息,就立刻返回克罗托内,但那时克罗托内军队已经出发前往西里庭,所以他一直作为一名普通公民待在城内,直到今天被启用。 Listened to the Lysias words, Askamas to show a smile, but this smile disappeared quickly, because the enemy started to attack...... 听了吕西阿斯的话,阿斯卡玛斯露出了一丝笑容,但这笑容很快就消失,因为敌人开始进攻了…… .......................................... …………………………………… Beyond several hundred meters the Syracuse person battlefield in approaches to the city wall huge, loosely and seemingly limitless slowly. What walks in the forefront is by some grotesque project instruments that the Syracuse person promotes, for example the attacking a city hammer, many similar attacking a city hammers same have the ceiling blocking, in the concealed personnel and 56-meter wood wheel car(riage)s...... 几百米外锡拉库扎人庞大、松散、看似无边无际的战阵在缓缓向城墙逼近。走在最前面的是被锡拉库扎人推动的一些奇形怪状的工程器械,比如攻城锤,还有不少类似攻城锤一样有顶棚遮挡、内藏人员、长达56米的木轮车…… Those who most made Askamas worry was that three giant, compared with city wall also high, transportable wooden turret. Although Askamas the first time is saw in the war, but in his mind flashes through a word immediately- attacking a city tower, before heard that the Syracuse person took over in the Sicily island with the attacking a city tower Carthage many cities, this time saw the material object, so makes his heart be startled. 最令阿斯卡玛斯担忧的是那三座巨大的、比城墙还高的、可移动的木制塔楼。虽然阿斯卡玛斯是第一次在战争中看到,但他的脑海里立刻闪过一个词-攻城塔,之前就听说锡拉库扎人用攻城塔攻下了西西里岛上迦太基的不少城池,这次见到了实物,却是如此让他心惊。 But the soldiers noticed that the giant project tower pushes slowly near to them, similarly helpless of shock. 而士兵们看到巨大的工程塔缓缓向他们推近,同样震惊的不知所措。 „Spunks up!” Askamas shouts loudly , to continue to give the soldier to encourage, inflates to oneself: „Do not look that thing is so big, but it moat!” “打起精神来！”阿斯卡玛斯大声喊道,继续给士兵鼓劲,也是给自己打气:“别看那东西那么大,但它过不了护城河！” Yes, has the moat, that monster cannot come! The soldiers felt relieved temporarily, then they noticed the attacking a city tandem of enemy stopped the advance, goes out of over a thousand naked men, is shouldering cloth sacks, trend city wall staggering, but in them behind is the fully-armed Syracuse light infantry , to promote to keep off the arrow car(riage) to follow...... 是啊,有护城河在,那怪物过不来！士兵们暂时放宽心,然后他们看到敌人的攻城纵列停止了前进,从中走出上千名全身赤裸的男子,背负着一个个布袋,踉踉跄跄的走向城墙,而在他们身后是全副武装的锡拉库扎轻步兵,推动着挡箭车紧随其后…… Is the Syracuse slave, the preparation fills in our moat?! Kelebus and surrounding companion are holding the same idea, got hold of the javelin and bow and arrow in hand. 难道是锡拉库扎的奴隶,准备来填我们的护城河？！科勒布斯和周围的同伴都抱着相同的想法,握紧了手中的标枪和弓箭。 In the Askamas heart felt several points of anxiety. 阿斯卡玛斯心中却感到了几分不安。
