Once Magna Graecia strong nation Crotonians must by cleaning up the trash unexpectedly to live! As one once with Carthaginians that Crotone has had to do, suddenly Cleeton recalled before , lively scene that here sees, felt that sobbed. 曾经的大希腊强邦克罗托内人居然要靠捡垃圾为生!作为一名曾经与克罗托内打过交道的迦太基人,俄克里顿回想起以前在这里看到的热闹景象,也感到唏嘘不已。 The Crotone city is very big, suddenly Cleeton walks, has not actually seen many young and middle-aged male, feels to feel strange: „Did Dionysius kill off the Crotone citizens?” 克罗托内城区很大,俄克里顿一路走来,却没有见到多少青壮年男性,不禁感到奇怪:“难道狄奥尼修斯克罗托内的公民都杀光了吗?” „The Crotone citizens cultivate in the farmland. The Syracuse army besieges Crotone time, destroyed the paddies outside city, they must while the present be the early spring, hurries to replant the grain, otherwise may not eat to the autumn......” patrol boat captain answered. 克罗托内的公民们都在农田里耕作。锡拉库扎大军围攻克罗托内的时候,将城外的田地都破坏了,他们必须趁着现在是初春,赶紧补种谷物,不然到秋天可就没吃的了……”巡逻船船长解释道。 Arrives at the urban center time, enters suddenly Cleeton view no longer is smokes the ruins that the fire roasts, but is many people in the busy construction site. 走到城市中心的时候,进入俄克里顿眼帘的不再是烟熏火烤的废墟、而是很多人在忙碌的建筑工地。 This is our people are helping the Crotonians construction house.” The patrol boat captain says on own initiative. “这是我们的民众在帮助克罗托内人修建房屋。”巡逻船船长主动开口说道。 suddenly Cleeton looks at the front to do the bustling work sites, stemming from the natural disposition of merchant, asked: How much money do you construct a house to collect to Crotonians?” 俄克里顿看着前方干得热火朝天的工地,出于商人的本性,问道:“你们给克罗托内人建一栋房子收取多少钱?” The captain said with a smile: Crotonians anything does not have now, where has money to pay us, this is the people came to construct to them voluntarily.” 船长笑道:“克罗托内人现在什么都没有,哪有钱付给我们,这是民众自愿来给他们建的。” Actually the patrol boat captain has not spoken the truth, helps Crotonians rebuild one's homeland is the suggestion of Davos, Aprustum chief executive Agasias is responsible for implementing, the people that participates construction, although is unable to obtain gold and silver, but their merit will be registered to be on record, will win the commendation of Theonia council after the war, this means that will obtain the land and Theonia citizenship, therefore comes Crotone, prepares the citizen to be in the majority by the freeman. 其实巡逻船船长没说实话,“帮克罗托内人重建家园”是戴弗斯的建议,阿斯普鲁斯图姆行政长官阿加西亚负责组织实施的,来参与建造的民众虽然无法获得金银,但他们的功劳将被登记在案,战后将获得戴奥尼亚元老院的表彰,这意味着将获得土地和戴奥利亚的公民身份,所以来克罗托内的以自由民、预备公民居多。 suddenly Cleeton is surprised, then he realized that this is a big opportunity, he heard that the Theonia territory also suffered the devastation of Syracuse person, Scylletium and Terina, if these city-state need Theonian to help reconstruct, various commodities that needs great quantity, is not definitely able to supply by Theonia only alone, if his family can also step in...... 俄克里顿感到惊讶,接着他意识到这是一个多大的商机,他听说戴奥尼亚的领地也遭受了锡拉库扎人的蹂躏,还有西里庭特里纳,如果这些城邦都需要戴奥尼亚人来帮助重建的话,所需要的各种物资将是巨量的,单靠戴奥尼亚肯定无法独自供应,如果他的家族也能涉足其中的话…… suddenly Cleeton is calculating at heart, more is more excited, now he rejoiced that oneself was selected by Hanno(Hannonian), goes abroad on a diplomatic mission Theonia, if cannot seize this opportunity, Barr. Kazakhstan , Mongolia will also punish his! 俄克里顿在心里盘算着,越想越激动,现在他庆幸自己被汉诺选中,出使戴奥尼亚,如果不能抓住这个机会,巴尔.哈蒙也会惩罚他的! He is patronizing the ponder, had not seen that the captain moved toward the work site directly, after a while, he leads a person to arrive in front of suddenly Cleeton. 他光顾着沉思,没有看到船长径直走向了工地,过了一会儿,他带着一个人来到俄克里顿面前。 That person salutes to suddenly Cleeton: „The honored Carthage envoy, welcome your arrival! I am the Theonia senior statesman and Aprustum chief executive Agasias.” 那人向俄克里顿行礼:“尊贵的迦太基使者,欢迎你的到来!我是戴奥尼亚元老、阿斯普鲁斯图姆的行政长官阿加西亚。” suddenly Cleeton returns salute immediately, said in the pure Greek: I am Carthage senior statesman very soon Cleeton, was delegated by council, sees right in front of one your kings.” 俄克里顿当即还礼,用纯正的希腊语说道:“我是迦太基元老俄克里顿,受元老院委派,来面见你们的国王。” Before, Agasias had heard Ansitanos went abroad on a diplomatic mission at first Carthage had close-door feast the matter, thinks this Carthage envoy will be very difficult to be together, suddenly Cleeton was very never expected that good to speak, two people chatted while walking. 之前,阿加西亚听说过“安西塔诺斯最初出使迦太基吃闭门宴”的事儿,原本以为这位迦太基使者会很难相处,没想到俄克里顿却很好说话,两人边走边聊。 Under suddenly Cleeton's mean guidance, Agasias more mentioned the Syracuse army's destruction to the Theonia territory as well as reconstructs Krimisa and Crotone difficulty wait/etc. 在俄克里顿的有意引导下,阿加西亚更多的谈起了锡拉库扎军队对戴奥尼亚领地的破坏以及重建克里米萨克罗托内的困难等等。 suddenly Cleeton these secret marks in heart. 俄克里顿将这些都暗记在心。 The group went out of the Crotone west gate( said is city gate, is actually only a big opening in this tattered city wall). 一行人走出了克罗托内的西城门(说是城门,其实只是这堵破烂的城墙上的一个大豁口而已)。 Goes out of town, suddenly Cleeton sees the innumerable tent builds near the moat, the tent area has many personnel to pass in and out, was lively...... some people saw Agasias, but also driving friendly greeting, this Theonia senior statesman was very obviously good in the Crotone personal connection. 出了城,俄克里顿看到有无数的帐篷搭建在护城河边,帐篷区有很多人员进进出出,甚是热闹……有人看见了阿加西亚,还主动友好的打招呼,显然这位戴奥尼亚元老在克罗托内的人缘很不错。 „Is here the Crotonians housing place?” suddenly Cleeton asked one freely spoken. “这里是克罗托内人居住的地方?”俄克里顿顺口问了一句。 Yes. You also saw a moment ago, the entire city was burnt down by the damn Syracuse person, in the city had no way to live, these tents were our Theonia army seized after the Syracuse big camp bestow to Crotone part......” Agasias said this saying time, actually many anger, his mentality, do not know, when the Crotone burnt down news passed to Thurii, the original Thurii people even applauded to cheer, said that this was penalty of the goddess of vengeance to Crotone. “是的。刚才你也看到了,整座城都被该死的锡拉库扎人焚毁了,城内根本就没法居住,这些帐篷还是我们戴奥尼亚军队从锡拉库扎的大营内缴获后赠送给了克罗托内的一部分……”阿加西亚说这话的时候,其实并没有多少愤怒,他这种心态还算好的,要知道当克罗托内被焚毁的消息传到图里伊时,原图里伊民众甚至鼓掌欢呼,称这是复仇女神对克罗托内的惩罚。 Agasias remembered anything, is busy at saying: suddenly Sir Cleeton, I lead you to see Crotone chief general Lysias.” 阿加西亚又想起了什么,忙说道:“俄克里顿大人,我带你去见一见克罗托内的首席将军吕西阿斯吧。” Does not use, in duty that my time comes not including Crotone.” suddenly Cleeton rejects directly. “不用了,我这次来的任务中并没有包括克罗托内。”俄克里顿直接拒绝。 Perhaps if before Crotone, that powerful Crotone, suddenly Cleeton also has other idea, but after seeing now the Crotone pitiful condition, the dependency on Theonia is such depth, this made suddenly Cleeton have no interest, let alone he also had the selfishness, does not want to annoy the Theonian vitality/angry. Therefore the envoy who suddenly Cleeton leads rolled in the Crotone harbor comes ashore, crossed the entire Crotone city, actually without and here master met, swaggered away like this. 如果克罗托内还是以前那个强大的克罗托内,俄克里顿或许还有别的想法,但看到现在克罗托内的惨状之后,对戴奥尼亚的依赖又是如此之深,这让俄克里顿已经没有了兴趣,何况他还有私心,不想惹戴奥尼亚人生气。因此俄克里顿带领的使者团在克罗托内港口上岸,横穿了整个克罗托内城区,却没有和这里的主人见面,就这样扬长而去了。 .......................................... …………………………………… suddenly Cleeton and his party arrives in the Scylletium Theonia camp is at noon, will attack the camp away the Syracuse person in two days, even if burnt down Tsoying were being rebuilt by the Theonia soldiers, in the camp can still see the paling that the smoke and fire will blacken by smoke, was fired the ashes the tent...... suddenly Cleeton to fantasize in the mind here has had fierce battle. 俄克里顿一行人到达在西里庭戴奥尼亚营地已经是中午时分,距锡拉库扎人进攻营地才过了两天,被烧毁的左营即使正在被戴奥尼亚士兵们重建,营地内依然可以看到烟火熏黑的木栅、被烧成灰烬的帐篷……俄克里顿在脑海中幻想着在这里发生过的激烈战斗。 After has received Agasias to send the cavalry who informs, Davos especially has the camp to greet, making the convoy guard platoon become the neat team, is placed by the path, the bugle, the army drum and flute play the beautiful melody...... 已经接到阿加西亚派来的骑兵通知后,戴弗斯特地出营迎接,让护卫队排成整齐的队伍,分列道路两旁,军号、军鼓、长笛吹奏出优美的旋律…… So the welcome ceremony of specification makes suddenly Cleeton feel the pleasant surprise, his happy followed Davos to enter the army big tent/account. 如此规格的欢迎仪式让俄克里顿倍感惊喜,他心情愉快的跟随戴弗斯进入了中军大帐。 Carthage in the previous generation history took the Rome strong opponent is really famous, but nowadays Davos sees Carthaginians for the first time, cannot bear the curious care take a look at the present envoy: Build slightly fat, the height is ordinary, the black hair, the black-brown eye, the black thick eyebrows, the skin is slightly black, without the stiff bridge of the nose and slightly spacious wing of the nose, their look is somewhat similar to previous generation own compatriot, this lets in the Davos heart inexplicable raises a favorable impression. 在前世历史中迦太基作为罗马的强劲对手实在是太有名了,而现今戴弗斯还是第一次见到迦太基人,忍不住好奇的仔细打量眼前的这位使者:体形微胖,身高一般,黑色的头发,黑褐色的眼睛,黑色的浓眉,皮肤略黑,如果没有挺直的鼻梁和略显宽大的鼻翼,他们相貌跟前世自己的同胞有些相似,这让戴弗斯心中莫名的升起一丝好感。 suddenly Cleeton is also taking a look at this Theonia new king. Before going abroad on a diplomatic mission, he had understood especially the Theonia situation, knows establishment and rapid rise of Theonia alliance have much to do with the present person, but...... Barr. Kazakhstan , Mongolia on, he were really young! So young, has the so big power, is really enviable! 俄克里顿同样在打量着这位戴奥尼亚的新国王。在出使之前,他特地了解过戴奥尼亚的情况,知道戴奥尼亚联盟的建立和迅速崛起都跟眼前的这个人有很大关系,但是……巴尔.哈蒙在上,他实在是太年轻了!如此年轻,却拥有如此大的权力,实在是让人羡慕! „The honored Carthage envoy, Carthage is great city-state, thanked you very much, when Theonia was most difficult the tremendous assistance that provided! Had the precious food supply, we can work this fearful war......” “尊贵的迦太基使者,迦太基是个伟大的城邦,很感谢你们在戴奥尼亚最困难的时候所提供的巨大帮助!有了宝贵的粮食供应,我们才能将这场可怕的战争进行下去……” The Davos sincere words make suddenly Cleeton mood joyful, in his heart moves, immediately said: Respectable King Theonia, Carthage may , is not only rich in the grain, our other cargos are also famous in west Mediterranean. The destruction such big of invasion of Syracuse person to Magna Graecia, is really hurtful! Our Carthage wants to be the reconstruction of Theonia and other city-state provides the help, does not know the king whether......” 戴弗斯诚挚的话语让俄克里顿心情愉悦,他心中一动,随即说道:“尊敬的戴奥尼亚国王,迦太基可不只是盛产谷物,我们的其他货物在西地中海也享有盛名。锡拉库扎人的入侵对大希腊的破坏如此之大,实在让人痛心!我们迦太基想要为戴奥尼亚和其他城邦的重建提供帮助,不知道国王陛下能否……” Davos stares, the manner that the Carthage envoy spoke as if made him see the Mersis shadow, he said with a smile: In the friendly agreement that before, Theonia and Carthage signed contained the free trade in inside, we welcome certainly Carthage to provide the rich cargo, sped up our reconstruction to the Magna Graecia. If suddenly Sir Cleeton has own caravan, I can provide the special attendance to you in Magna Graecia doing business.” 戴弗斯一愣,迦太基使者说话的神态仿佛让他看到了梅尔西斯的影子,他笑道:“之前,戴奥尼亚迦太基所签署的友好协议中本来就包含了自由贸易在里面,我们当然非常欢迎迦太基能够提供丰富的货物,加快我们对大希腊的重建。俄克里顿大人如果有自己的商队,我可以给你在大希腊经商提供特殊的照顾。” Really?!” A suddenly Cleeton words exit|to speak, realized that own loss of self-control, coughs hastily several, sits well on the wooden chair. “真的?!”俄克里顿话一出口,就意识到自己的失态,连忙干咳几声,重新端坐在木椅上。 But Davos actually turns head to standing in nearby Hernipolis serious saying: Henie, you remember this matter, the name of suddenly Sir Cleeton also writes down together, then notice commercial officer Marigi.” 戴弗斯却扭头对侍立在一旁的赫尼波利斯郑重的说道:“赫尼,你将这件事记下来,还有俄克里顿大人的名字也一起记下来,回头通知商务官马里吉。” Yes, your majesty.” Hernipolis vague with despising the look swept Carthage envoy one eyes, then sat by nearby wooden table, started to write. “是,陛下。”赫尼波利斯隐晦的用鄙夷的眼神扫了迦太基使者一眼,然后坐到了旁边的木桌旁,开始书写。 suddenly Cleeton suppressed to say strongly thanks the impulsion, praised loudly: Carthage council very admiring Theonia alliance's excellent performance in this war, Theonia national strength, although weak in Syracuse, can actually in marine, beat the Syracuse person in the land continuously, crushed Dionysius to attempt to conquer the Magna Graecia ambition! Must know that the dictatorship of Dionysius this Syracuse oversteps authority main extremely greedy suddenly/violently cracks, for these years has destroyed many famous city-state on the Sicily island, our Carthage and other Greek city-state by its evil, the strong military force that Dionysius has are made us not have the means with him deeply, the victory of Theonia to Syracuse is really lets entire Sicily and Carthage people dances with joy!” 俄克里顿竭力抑制住想要说“谢谢”的冲动,大声夸奖道:“迦太基元老院非常钦佩戴奥尼亚联盟在这场战争中的出色表现,戴奥尼亚的国力虽然弱于锡拉库扎,却能在海上、在陆地连续击败锡拉库扎人,粉碎了狄奥尼修斯企图征服大希腊的野心!要知道狄奥尼修斯这个锡拉库扎的独裁僭主极其的贪婪暴裂,这几年在西西里岛上已经毁灭了多个著名的城邦,我们迦太基和其他希腊城邦都深受其害,狄奥尼修斯所拥有的强大武力让我们拿他没有办法,戴奥尼亚锡拉库扎的胜利实在是让整个西西里迦太基民众欢欣鼓舞啊!” We are also forced reluctantly!” Davos sighed, look dignified reply: If we cannot defeat Syracuse, Syracuse will destroy our Theonia, therefore Theonia all people unite, furiously counter-attack, although repelled the enemy, but also paid very big price!” “我们也是被迫无奈!”戴弗斯叹了口气,神色凝重的回答:“如果我们不能击败锡拉库扎,锡拉库扎就会毁灭掉我们戴奥尼亚,因此戴奥尼亚的所有民众都团结起来,奋力反击,虽然击退了敌人,但也付出了很大的代价!” I come time had seen Syracuse to the tremendous damage that Magna Graecia causes, expresses deep sympathy in the great sacrifice that in this war put to Theonia, but all these were worth, not!” The suddenly Cleeton's polite expression one was concerned, turns round to point at outside the tent: „The Syracuse army you had commanded the army to siege by the king in Scylletium, moreover seemed like the Syracuse person's to breaking through your blockades is helpless. If wants to take over the cities that defends by tens of thousands people, perhaps is not an easy matter. How does the king you then prepare to do? Continues to siege the enemy, completely surrenders until their grain? I want so many Theonia soldiers to go to battle outside, the Theonia grain pressure is also very big! Naturally, Carthage is willing to continue is Theonia provides the grain assistance of fair price......” “我来的时候已经看到了锡拉库扎大希腊所造成的巨大破坏,对戴奥尼亚在这次战争中所付出的巨大牺牲深表同情,但这一切都是值得的,不是吗!”俄克里顿礼貌性的表示了一下关切,就回身指着帐幕外:“锡拉库扎的大军已经被国王陛下你率军围困在了西里庭,而且看起来锡拉库扎人对突破你们的封锁已经无能为力了。但是要想攻下由几万人防御的城镇,恐怕不是一件容易的事吧。国王陛下你接下来准备怎么做?继续围困敌人,直到他们粮尽投降?我想如此多的戴奥尼亚士兵出征在外,戴奥尼亚的粮食压力也很大吧!当然,迦太基愿意继续为戴奥尼亚提供平价的粮食援助……” suddenly Cleeton obviously is in the words has the words, Davos is estimating his intention, then said: Thank suddenly Sir Cleeton's care to Theonia! Before you come, I just sent off the Syracuse envoy from Scylletium, they proposed the hope and Theonia peace negotiation.” 俄克里顿明显是话里有话,戴弗斯揣摩着他的用意,然后说道:“感谢俄克里顿大人对戴奥尼亚的关心!在你来之前,我刚刚送走来自西里庭锡拉库扎使者,他们提出希望和戴奥尼亚议和。”
