„That is because here only has a small pier!” The Burkes air/Qi results in the chest to fluctuate suddenly. He had detected a moment ago, walked this market quickly, he understood finally: The type that here buys and sells is so complete, is not the need of mercenaries, but is the merchants and need of surrounding resident. Crati river is wide, after all is inferior to the sea to be broad, when the merchant ship are too much, enters the Thurii harbor to need the time waiting, but after entering the market, trades must collect taxes. Now may be good, the mercenaries constructed a county fair near the coast directly, the ships arrived at the wharf in coast, can unload cargo, but entered the market, so long as a Obold( had to be equal to not having), did not need to pay taxes, as for the buyer, Thurii was not based on this far, lots of sailors and fishermen...... wait/etc, they were mainly the freemen, was not the Thurii citizen, is willing to take several roads, purchased compared in Thurii market cheaper goods( because did not pay taxes, therefore cheap), let alone had by the mercenaries is sold various city-state merchants who the thing the foreign land character and style attracted. “那是因为这里只有一个小码头！”布尔科斯气得胸膛急剧起伏。刚才他就有所察觉,快走完这市场,他终于明白了:这里买卖的种类之所以如此齐全,并不是雇佣军的需要,而是商人们和周围居民的需要。克拉蒂河再宽,毕竟不如大海广阔,商船过多时,进入图里伊港口需要时间等待,而进入市场后交易还要收税。现在可好,雇佣军在海岸附近直接建了一个市集,船只一到了海岸的码头,就可以卸货,而进入市场只要一个奥波尔(有等于无),又不用缴税,至于买家,图里伊据此又不远,大量的水手、渔民……等等,他们主要是自由民,不是图里伊公民,愿意多走几步路,购买比在图里伊市场更便宜的物品(因为不交税,所以便宜),何况还有被雇佣军售卖物件的异域风情吸引来的各城邦的商人。 Looks that Marigi lowers the head, an appearance that endures willingly the criticism, Burkes, although the indignant difficult draw, actually not to say again much: „Calculates that this matter I will go to say with Davos! You cannot take responsibility, you are the Persia slave.” 看着马里吉低着头、一副甘受批评的样子,布尔科斯虽气愤难平,却不想再多说:“算啦,这件事我会去跟戴弗斯说！你也做不了主,你不过是个波斯奴隶。” Marigi hears here, the whole body shivers, almost shouted abuse: You are the Persia slave! Your entire family is the Persia slave! Is your Greek barbarian eagle-eyed! I have been the merchant of Room Persian king!! 马里吉听到这里,浑身颤抖,差点破口大骂:你才是波斯奴隶！你全家都是波斯奴隶！你这个希腊蛮子有没有眼力！我可是当过波斯王的御用商人!! Was good bore because of him finally, actually does not want to speak again, falls on Burkes their behind. 好在他最终忍住了,却不想再多说话,落在了布尔科斯他们的后面。 West gate when close to market, Burkes discovered that here uses half person of high dirt wall, separated a region, inside has one very in a big way with the wigwam of wood/blockhead build, compares the stall that front is noisy, here is quite peaceful, the entrance is actually lining up...... 接近市场的西门时,布尔科斯发现这里用半人高的土墙,隔开了一块区域,里面有一个很大的用木头搭建的棚屋,相比较前面闹哄哄的摊位,这里比较安静,入口却排着长队…… „This is......” asking of Burkes doubts. “这是……”布尔科斯疑惑的问。 Marigi unstated criticism, to propagandize although at heart the need, he also has to explain: „This is a clinic. The doctor of our military compound follows Captain Davos the long-term learning, was exceptional, the Thurii people that caught an illness much for a long time undergoes their treatments to have improvement, therefore now is very popular. Frequently to the dusk, the market was about to close the door, the sickness have not been willing to depart.” 马里吉尽管心里腹诽,为了宣传的需要,他也不得不解释道:“这是诊所。我们军营的医生跟着戴弗斯首领长期学习,医术高超,不少长期染病的图里伊民众经过他们的治疗都有了好转,所以现在很受欢迎。经常是到了黄昏,市场快关门了,病患们还不肯离去。” „Is so fierce?!” Burkes is somewhat amazed, Maurras whispered in his ear: „Master, the sickness of old madame can come to see to here, perhaps they really have the means to cure.” “有这么厉害？！”布尔科斯有些惊诧,莫拉斯在他耳边低语:“主人,老夫人的病可以到这里来看看,说不定他们真有办法治好。” Burkes is looking at the wigwam front „long line”, nods, suddenly remembers anything, asked: „Did you say these doctors with the medical skill of Davos study? Will Davos also see a doctor?!” 布尔科斯望着棚屋前排着的“长龙”,点点头,忽然想起什么,问道:“你说这些医生是跟戴弗斯学的医术？戴弗斯还会看病？！” „That is natural! The leader obtains care of Hades, regarding can bring the disease mystery of death naturally to understand.” Marigi proud saying. “那是当然！首领得到哈迪斯的眷顾,对于能给人带来死亡的疾病奥秘当然会有所了解。”马里吉自豪的说道。 Burkes showed neither approval nor disapproval, had/left the market, after saying goodbye to Marigi, Maurras asked: „Does master, in this world really have excels at the person who directs the fight, to be good at doing business, can favor to get sick?” 布尔科斯不置可否,出了市场,告别马里吉后,莫拉斯问道:“主人,这个世上真有既擅长指挥战斗、有擅长经商、还能看好病的人吗？” „Davos not? He is Hades god family.” Burkes indifferent saying. “戴弗斯不就是吗？他还是哈迪斯的神眷者。”布尔科斯淡然的说道。 Walks several hundred meters toward the west again, the camp that Davos is at heaves in sight, is a camp, is the military camp is rather more accurate: Three meters wide, three meters deep trench, on three meters high earthen rampart also two meters high paling as protection. Goes on patrol in the rear obvious sentry of wooden wall, can therefore judge, on the wooden wall has the aisle. In the wall has many sentry post buildings, six meters high, can overlook the dead angle under trench and wooden wall fully. Center the wooden wall exit|to speak is loaded with the wooden door, the above also constructs a crude tower over a city gate...... 往西再走几百米,戴弗斯所在的营地就映入眼帘,与其说是营地,不如说是营寨更准确:三米宽、三米深的壕沟,三米高的土垒上还有两米高的木栅作为防护。在木墙的后方可见哨兵巡逻,因此可以判断,木墙上是有走道的。墙内有多个哨楼,足有六米高,可以俯视壕沟和木墙下的死角。木墙正中的出口装有木门,上方还建有一个简陋的城楼…… Burkes and Maurras cautious the straight say/way before following barrack gate proceeds, because the roadside is inserting several big wooden sign prompts: „Has the trap, please walk the main road!” 布尔科斯和莫拉斯小心翼翼的顺着营门前的直道往前走,因为路边插着几个大木牌提示:“有陷阱,请走大道！” Maurras is observing near the say/way in half person of high wild thick patch of grass the indistinct reflection metallic luster, guessed that which traps may have, while saying of sigh: „Master, our Thurii defense facility does not have here is so complex probably.” 莫拉斯一边观察着道边半人高的荒草丛中隐约反射的金属光泽,猜测可能会有哪些陷阱,一边感叹的说道:“主人,咱们图里伊的防御设施好像都没这里这么复杂。” Burkes seems somewhat gloomy, he has been worried about an issue: The mercenaries constructed here look like a city, Crotonians saw how to think? 布尔科斯则显得有些阴郁,他一直在担心一个问题:雇佣军将这里建造得像一座城,克罗托内人看到了会怎么想？ The guard of barrack gate finds out two people purposes in coming, immediately sends for report/give report. 营门的守卫问明两人的来意,立刻就派人进去禀报。 Before long, Asistes comes out, getting two people to go. 不一会儿,亚西斯特斯出来,领着两人进去。 In camps weed scrap rock cleaned up clean, the ground is smooth, in the rear area of wooden wall, really laid down the wooden aisle, causes to surpass the wooden wall of aisle just to block the chest part of soldier, several wide wooden ladders can on arrive at the aisle. The establishment of tent also neat ordered, between the tents and wooden walls have very wide open area, was away from 45 tents to have a broad channel, the channel direct link camp center, the camp center constructs a ring-like paling unexpectedly. 营地里荒草废石都被清理的一干二净,地面平整清洁,在木墙的后方,果然是铺设了木制走道,使得超出走道的木墙刚好能挡住士兵的胸膛部分,有好几个宽木梯可以上到走道。帐篷的设置也整齐有序,帐篷与木墙间有很宽的空地,隔着四五个帐篷就有一个宽阔的通道,通道直达营地中央,营地中央居然又建筑起了一道环形的木栅。 Sees Burkes to be suspicious, Asistes explained: „Inside usually is the transportation battalion and medical treatment and nursing camp, as well as leaders and team officers and other station. But when to fight, once the surrounding were broken through by the enemy, we can retreat inside , to continue to defend.” 见布尔科斯心生疑惑,亚西斯特斯解释道:“里面平时是辎重营和医护营,以及首领和队官们等的驻地。而到战斗时,一旦外围被敌人攻破,我们可以退守里面,继续防御。” „This is really I have seen most complex, considers the thoroughest military camp!” Even to some mercenaries opinions, this moment Burkes still sighed. “这真是我见过的最复杂、也是考虑得最周到的军事营地！”即使对雇佣军有些意见,此刻布尔科斯也不禁感叹。 The Asistes contented smile said: „Captain Davos has said that this is the most basic camp construction, is more complex, we now could not have used. He said that ‚war has not only won the undefeated, a firm camp can provide the protection when the failure for the soldiers, reduces the casualties, rallies the morale. Therefore even again laborious, must add patiently carefully constructs it, usually perspires, the wartime can little bleed......’” 亚西斯特斯自得的微笑道:“戴弗斯首领说过,这还是最基本的营地建设,更复杂的,我们现在还用不上。他说‘战争从来都没有只胜不败的,一个坚固的营地可以在失败时为士兵们提供保护,减少伤亡,重整士气。所以即使再辛苦,也要耐心加细心的把它建好,平时多流汗,战时才能少流血……’” „Usually perspires, the wartime can little bleed......” Burkes to read these two words in a low voice, he realized what suddenly oneself soon must see is one has the mercenaries leader of rich experience to the war, the Thurii generals they had not discussed with Davos, completed the plan beforehand, and requests him following the execution, this appropriate? “平时多流汗,战时才能少流血……”布尔科斯低声念着这两句话,他忽然意识到自己即将要去见的是一个对战争有丰富经验的雇佣军首领,图里伊的将军们没有与戴弗斯他们商量,就事先做好了计划,并要求他遵照执行,这合适吗？ At this time, asking that Maurras had doubts: „Why? In the camps only sees a small number of soldiers?” 这时,莫拉斯疑惑的问道:“为什么？营地里只看到少数士兵？” „Brothers attend tug-of-war in behind ‚’ competition.” “兄弟们都在后面参加‘拔河’比赛。” „Tug-of-war?” Two people hear this strange word, feels curious. “拔河？”两人听到这个陌生的词,都感到好奇。 Actually the front has the giant slogan to transmit, Asistes leads them simply, bypasses the central ring-like paling, proceeds to enter a broad location, those who show at present is the dense and numerous people. Over a thousand soldiers encircle 56 big circles, each one soldier complexion flushed, are excited, makes a fist the call toward the circle. 其实前方已有巨大的呐喊声传来,亚西斯特斯干脆带着他俩,绕过中央的环形木栅,往前走进一个宽阔的场地,展现在眼前的是密密麻麻的人。上千名士兵围成五六个大圈子,个个士兵面色潮红,神情激动,朝着圈内握拳呐喊。 „Regiment two divisions refuel!” “一连队二分队加油！” „Five regiment four divisions refuel!” “五连队四分队加油！” „Come on! Come on! Tries harder again!” “加油！加油！再加把劲儿！” „, Wins!!” “哦哦,赢啰！！” ...... …… The so bustling and exciting scenes, Burkes has only seen at the games, now he has not seen the real-life scenery, light/only listens to the shout, one's blood bubbles up to the brim. 如此热火朝天、激动人心的场面,布尔科斯只在运动会上见到过,现在他还没有看到实景,光听喊声,就已经热血沸腾了。 Asistes sees his two people thoughts, crushes into a circle specially, making them go to watch, but oneself first called the leader. 亚西斯特斯看出他两人的心思,专门挤进一个圈子,让他俩进去观看,而自己则先去叫首领。 The circle central ground suspends one to have 40 meters rope fully, should the cable that is used by several ships stir about composes in the same place, has the fist to be thick or thin fully. 圆圈中央的地上摆着一条足有四十米长的绳索,应该是由好几根船用的缆绳搅合在一起组成的,足有拳头粗细。 At this time, in the central open area had a person to call out: „Next round, by the Erlian team three division VS seventh regiment divisions, asking both sides to enter the stadium!” 这时,中央空地上有一个人叫道:“下一轮,由第二连队三分队VS第七连队一分队,请双方入场！” Quick, more than 100 robust men entered the circle, that person confirmed after population and name, said: „Asked both sides to prepare.” 很快,一百多名壮汉走进了圆圈,那人确认了人数和姓名之后,说道:“请双方准备。” Therefore, both sides pick up the rope. 于是,双方捡起绳索。 Burkes then discovered that the rope center ties up a red thread, rope is hanging the heavy item, points to the ground a white line, but the both sides of this white line have a white line respectively. 布尔科斯这才发现绳索中央绑着一根红绳,绳头挂有重物,直指地上的一条白线,而这条白线的两侧还各有一条白线。 That by Burkes is thought the people sound that similar games referee announced: „Competition starts!” 那位被布尔科斯认为类似运动会裁判的人大声宣布:“比赛开始！” The hundred robust men of both sides spell to go all-out toward oneself this side to make an effort to entrain the rope. The surrounding cheers sound and roaring voice also mountainous cry tsunami resounds...... 双方的百名壮汉拼尽全力往自己这方使劲拉拽绳索。周围的助威声、加油声也山呼海啸般的响起…… Looks at red thread a while toward left, a while toward right, the unceasing to-and-fro movement...... was locked in a stalemate some time, large scale moved...... the cheers sound also therefore to reach the peak to the left side. 就看红绳一会儿向左,一会儿向右,不断的来回摆动……相持了一段时间,才大幅度的向左侧移动……助威声也因此达到了顶峰。 Finally, the red thread arrives in the left side white line. 终于,红绳抵达左侧的白线。 The referee waves to hint: The competition ended! 裁判挥手示意:比赛结束！ The cheers and sigh resound simultaneously...... 欢呼声和叹息声同时响起…… Burkes two people are seeing the son with great interest, Asistes found them, they longing departure. 布尔克斯两人正看得津津有味儿,亚西斯特斯找到他们,他们才依依不舍的离去。
