Outside the Ostiadal city, Camillus publicizes repeatedly: So long as recaptures this harbor small town, can negotiate with Theonian, finally possibly peaceful must return to the Rome city...... 在奥斯提亚城外,卡米卢斯反复宣扬:只要夺回这座港口小城,就可以与戴奥尼亚人进行谈判,最终可能和平的得回罗马城…… Is anxious to return home the Rome soldier to be inspired by this, for successive two days fiercely attacked Ostiadal, was repelled by the Theonia army, but under the city the corpse on the ground everywhere, the ground was dyed the red, city wall also many collapses, obviously frigidity of fight. 回家心切的罗马士兵受此鼓舞,连续两天对奥斯提亚进行猛攻,都被戴奥尼亚军队击退,但城下伏尸遍地,地面都被染成了红色,城墙也多处倒塌,可见战斗的惨烈。 Third day, the Rome army continues to launch the attack. 第三天,罗马军队继续发起进攻。 ................................................ ………………………………………… But in Rome council, Davos held a conference, person who is who attended except for in Rome all senior statesmen, but also including third legatus Litom and staff officer officer Purin Towles, Tolmides and diplomat tower Pirus. 而在罗马元老院,戴弗斯召开了一个会议,参加会议的人除了在罗马的所有元老,还包括第三军团长利扎鲁、参谋官普林托尔斯、托尔米德和外交官塔皮鲁斯。 „, Tower Pirus by my assignment, went abroad on a diplomatic mission Etruscan city-state Kyes Rerat, Vulci, Tull Cuna and Fauver Ruunaa ( Fufluna ) north bank of Tiber, I hope before these, were forced attached to tear up in Rome Etruscan city-state under the Rome strong military pressure initially with the Rome union, collaborates with us, attacks the Rome colonizing city of north bank of Tiber......” Davos, sighs at this point lightly. “诸位,塔皮鲁斯受我的委派,出使了台伯河北岸的伊特鲁里亚城邦凯斯雷拉、沃尔奇、塔尔楚纳和福弗鲁纳(Fufluna),我之前希望这些当初迫于罗马强大的军事压力、被迫附属于罗马的伊特鲁里亚城邦能够撕毁与罗马的同盟,同我们联手,进攻台伯河北岸的罗马殖民城……”戴弗斯说到这里,轻叹了口气。 „Didn't your majesty, these Etruscans agree?” Litom quickly asked that as being responsible for guarding legatus of Rome Shiihashi and north bank newly-built river port, if north bank Etruscan city-state can reverse to Theonia, and attacks to the Rome colonizing city, enemy's pressure on the Rome city north surface did not exist, the third regiment can pull out, put in other battlefields, why the reason of Litom so concerned first digression. “陛下,难道这些伊特鲁里亚人不同意？”利扎鲁急忙问道,作为负责守卫罗马椎桥和北岸新建河港的军团长,如果北岸的伊特鲁里亚城邦能够倒向戴奥尼亚、并向罗马殖民城进攻的话,敌人对罗马城北面的压力就不复存在,第三军团就可以抽出来,投入其他的战场中,这就是利扎鲁为什么如此关切的第一个插话的原因。 Davos does not have the direct reaction, but looked to tower Pirus. 戴弗斯没有直接回答,而是看向了塔皮鲁斯。 The vision of people shifts to the body of this diplomat immediately, he slightly swallowed a saliva anxiously, said: „ After I...... I receive your majesty order, first went by boat Kyes Rerat, because not only it left us to be recent, but also because of...... as far as I know, it was to Greeks friendliest Etruscan city-state. In fact, they truly also received me warmly. 众人的目光立刻转移到这位外交官的身上,他略显紧张的咽了口唾沫,说道:“我……我接到陛下的命令之后,先乘船去了凯斯雷拉,不仅因为它离我们最近,还因为……据我所知,它是对希腊人最友善的伊特鲁里亚城邦。事实上,他们确实也非常热情的接待了我。 However......, when I am willing to form an alliance and jointly cope with them regarding Theonia Rome, the Kyes Rerat person's tactful expression the rejection, they said, ‚Kyes Rerat had friendly been together with Rome for dozens years, they will not easily abandon this friendship, but they will not participate in this war, with Theonia for enemy,’ 但是……当我谈起戴奥尼亚愿意和他们结盟、共同对付罗马时,凯斯雷拉人委婉的表示了拒绝,他们说,‘凯斯雷拉已经与罗马友好相处了几十年,他们绝不会轻易的背弃这种友谊,但他们也不会参与到这场战争中来,与戴奥尼亚为敌,’ They are also the Rome person defend, said that ‚we have captured the Rome city, got the winning side, can in this time and Rome person truce peace talks be best, this can fish more advantage, guaranteed the trade order on this lands will not be destroyed greatly......’ ” 他们还为罗马人辩护,说‘我们已经夺取了罗马城,占据了上风,能够在这个时候与罗马人停战和谈是最好的,这样可以捞到更多的好处,也保证了这片土地上的贸易秩序不会遭到大的破坏……’” „Will say not with us for the enemy, but this Kyes Rerat person is actually maintaining the Rome person.” Rome chief executive Asistes knits the brows to say. “说是不会与我们为敌,但这凯斯雷拉人话里话外却是在维护罗马人。”罗马行政长官亚西斯特斯皱眉说道。 „Kyes Rerat person said very clearly, they and Rome people friendly dozens years, but before did not have the communication with us, if I am Kyes Rerat person, naturally will help the Rome person!” Matonis straightforward saying. “凯斯雷拉人说得很清楚啊,他们和罗马人友好了几十年,而以前和我们却从无来往,如果我是凯斯雷拉人,当然会帮罗马人！”马托尼斯直截了当的说道。 Nicomachus looks at tower Pirus, asking of worry: „Since is also partial to the Rome person to Greeks friendliest Kyes Rerat, perhaps other Etruscan city-state won't support us?” 尼科马库斯看着塔皮鲁斯,担心的问道:“既然对希腊人最友善的凯斯雷拉也偏向罗马人,其他伊特鲁里亚城邦恐怕也不会支持我们吧？” The tower Pirus slight nod , to continue saying: „Then, I went to Vulci and Tull Cuna, before these two city-state, because was attacked by Rome, finally is forced to submit to Rome, the Rome person still established the colonizing city in their within the boundaries. They expressed the interest in your majesty proposition, but they finally helpless indicated, ‚they had most young and middle-aged citizens to follow the army combat of Rome, therefore they do not dare to take any hostile action to Rome now, in order to avoid enraged the Rome person, encounters danger by the citizen who oneself went to battle with’......” 塔皮鲁斯微微点头,继续说道:“接着,我又去了沃尔奇和塔尔楚纳,这两个城邦之前都因为遭到罗马的进攻,最终被迫臣服于罗马,罗马人还在他们的境内建立了殖民城。他们对陛下的提议表示出了兴趣,但他们最终都无奈表示,‘他们有绝大多数的青壮年公民正跟随罗马的大军作战,所以他们现在不敢对罗马采取任何敌对的行动,以免激怒罗马人,让自己出征的公民遭到危险’……” „It seems like Rome person's allied countries to these Etruscan guards very strictly!” Antras Polis of intelligence service family background hears here, sighed that said one. “看来罗马人对这些伊特鲁里亚的盟邦还是提防得很严！”情报部门出身的安特拉波利斯听到这里,感叹的说了一句。 „Afterward I went to Fauver Ruunaa, several months ago Rome once deployed the army to attempt to conquer this city-state, but exactly at that time we and Rome had the war, the Rome person withdrew the army that attacks Fauver Ruunaa, was equivalent to us to save Fauver Ruunaa.” Tower Pirus continues saying: „ But Fauver Ruunaa powwow receives my time, actually does not appear the enthusiasm, does not seem interested in our propositions, they said to me, ‚, if must unite with us, declares war to Rome, Fauver Ruunaa is unable to make the decision alone, but must discuss with the Etruscan city-state alliance, after reaching an agreement, can make the decision finally. However before then, they are willing to establish the friendly relations with us......’ “后来我又去了福弗鲁纳,几个月前罗马曾经派遣军队企图征服这个城邦,但恰好那时我们与罗马发生了战争,罗马人撤回了进攻福弗鲁纳的军队,相当于我们拯救了福弗鲁纳。”塔皮鲁斯继续说道:“但福弗鲁纳议事会接见我的时候,却并不显得热情,对于我们的提议似乎也不太感兴趣,他们对我说,‘如果要和我们联合,向罗马宣战,福弗鲁纳是无法单独作出决定的,还必须要和伊特鲁里亚城邦联盟商议,达成一致后,才能最终作出决定。不过在此之前,他们很愿意与我们建立友好的关系……’ But as far as I know, the Etruscan city-state alliance is a loose alliance, does not unite, for these years Rome attacked Etruscan city-state, this alliance has not played unites all Etruscan city-state, to resist the function of Rome aggression, therefore Rome quite easy conquered Vulci and Tull Cuna...... ” 但据我所知,伊特鲁里亚城邦联盟是一个松散的联盟,并不十分团结,这几年罗马进攻伊特鲁里亚的城邦,这个联盟并没有起到联合所有的伊特鲁里亚城邦、对抗罗马侵略的作用,所以罗马才会较为容易的将沃尔奇、塔尔楚纳征服……” „You meant that...... Fauver Ruunaa person is perfunctory us, hasn't wanted with the meaning that we form an alliance?” Asistes hesitates the digression to say. “你的意思是说……福弗鲁纳人只是在敷衍我们,并没有想要与我们结盟的意思？”亚西斯特斯沉吟着插话道。 The tower Pirus nod said: „After Fauver Ruunaa powwow met with, I let follow my translator to spend money to bribe Congressman Fauver Ruunaa, learned from their, although Fauver Ruunaa hates Rome, but they also fill vigilantly to us of outcomer, Theonia powerful makes them worry. Initially, Etruscans united the Rome person, expelled Celts, finally the Rome person commanded the army to conquer them less than several years, therefore they do not want to make the same mistake again, perhaps they hope that saw we and Rome were mutually wounded, like this most was good to them......” 塔皮鲁斯点头说道:“和福弗鲁纳议事会会面之后,我让跟随我的翻译员用钱买通了福弗鲁纳议员,才从他们那里得知,福弗鲁纳虽然痛恨罗马,但是他们也对外来者的我们充满警惕,戴奥尼亚的强大更让他们感到担心。当初,伊特鲁里亚人联合罗马人,赶走了凯尔特人,结果罗马人没过几年就率军要征服他们,所以他们不想再犯同样的错误,他们恐怕更希望看到我们与罗马两败俱伤,这样对他们才是最有好处的……” „These Etruscans want to obtain well! What a pity, I thought that they will only regret in the future!” Matonis loud saying. “这些伊特鲁里亚人想得到好！可惜,我看他们将来只会后悔！”马托尼斯大声的说道。 „Perhaps Fauver Ruunaa person thinks incessantly like this, other Etruscan city-state have the similar idea, even compared with us, they are willing to trust and them communicated over a hundred years of Rome people.” Brother-in-law Alshvang Pieters look serious saying of King Davos: „Starting from yesterday, we have many new moon rivers, but on the tracker and sailors of freighter noticed that the north bank distant place has the small stock Itter Rougnat army to appear and disappear, has the guard of cavalry corps luckily, they do not dare to approach.” “恐怕不止福弗鲁纳人这样想,其他的伊特鲁里亚城邦也有相似的想法,甚至于和我们相比,他们更愿意信任和他们来往了上百年的罗马人。”戴弗斯国王的大舅子阿尔西比达斯神色严肃的说道:“从昨天开始,我们有多艘朔河而上的货船的纤夫和水手都看到北岸的远处有小股伊特鲁尼亚军队出没,幸好有骑兵军团的护卫,他们才没敢靠近。” „I also received the report of cavalry, but I think that they are investigating, has not dared to have the positive/direct conflict with us.” Ledes confirmed this news. “我也接到了骑兵的汇报,不过我认为他们只是在侦查,还不敢与我们发生正面的冲突。”莱德斯证实了这个消息。 „Although they have not had the fight with us, but has displayed the hostility, we must counter-attack, otherwise these Etruscans think that we are easily bullied!” Matonis hates the sound to say. “虽然他们还未与我们发生战斗,但已经表现出了敌意,我们必须要对此予以回击,否则这些伊特鲁里亚人会认为我们软弱可欺！”马托尼斯恨声说道。 „Your majesty.” Asistes looks at Davos of upward head, worried saying: „Because the Rome army is attacking Ostiadal, comes the freighter that only to be able from the kingdom from the tracker from north bank of Tiber drawing to the Rome city, if the north bank were also attacked by Etruscans, the waterway to lead to Rome city will shut off, the the supply of transporting and military provisions of supplement and commodity of contact and soldier of personnel...... will become more difficult, this will not favor us governing Rome!” “陛下。”亚西斯特斯看向上首的戴弗斯,担忧的说道:“由于罗马军队正在进攻奥斯提亚,从王国来的货船只能由纤夫从台伯河北岸拉到罗马城,如果北岸也遭到伊特鲁里亚人攻击的话,通向罗马城的水路就会被切断了,人员的往来、士兵的补充、物资的运送、军粮的供应……都将变得更加困难,这不利于我们治理罗马！” Davos hears here, the finger starts to tap the desktop, the look actually gradually becomes sharp, his sinking sound said: „It seems like, my judgments to these Etruscan city-state contains errors, thinks they were threatened by Rome, should be glad to form an alliance with us very much, never expected that their each one has other idea! Since does not accept our good intentions, then we change a way and they have to do, demonstrates our military force to them, making them know how will suffer the dire consequence with Theonia for the enemy! I decided-” 戴弗斯听到这里,手指开始轻敲桌面,眼神却逐渐变得锐利起来,他沉声说道:“看来,我对这些伊特鲁里亚城邦的判断有误,原本以为它们遭受罗马的威胁,应该会很乐意与我们结盟,没想到它们各自都抱有别的想法！既然不接受我们的好意,那么我们就换一种方式和它们打交道,向它们展示一下我们的武力,让它们知道,与戴奥尼亚为敌将会遭受怎样可怕的后果！我决定-” The Davos glance people, said with emphasis: „Dispatches troops to capture Kyes Rerat!” 戴弗斯扫视众人,加重语气说道:“派兵去夺取凯斯雷拉！” As soon as the people listen, some are in high spirits, some look the embarrassment. 众人一听,有的精神振奋,有的面露难色。 „Does your majesty, attack Kyes Rerat to make Etruscan city-state reverse to Rome thoroughly?” Asistes expressed his worry. “陛下,进攻凯斯雷拉会不会让伊特鲁里亚城邦彻底倒向罗马？”亚西斯特斯表达了他的担忧。 „Sir Asistes does not need to be worried. As your majesty said that these Etruscan city-state have various thoughts respectively, Vulci and Tull Cuna is defeated by Rome, the territory was also divided, harbors the hate to the Rome person, because their most citizens in the Rome army, do not dare to cooperate with us. But Fauver Ruunaa these mostly will perhaps be holding the attitude of onlooking from Rome farther city-state......, only then Kyes Rerat and Rome relate closely, but its position approaches the Tiber shore, captures it, not only can protect our waterway shipping, can shock other Etruscan city-state , helping convince them and we again forms an alliance!” The tower Pirus confident analysis said. “亚西斯特斯大人不用担心。就像陛下所说,这些伊特鲁里亚城邦各有各的心思,沃尔奇和塔尔楚纳被罗马打败,领地也被分割,对罗马人怀有怨恨,只是因为他们的大部分公民在罗马军中,才不敢与我们合作。而福弗鲁纳这些距离罗马更远的城邦恐怕大多会抱着旁观的态度……只有凯斯雷拉与罗马关系密切,而其位置又太靠近台伯河岸,夺取它,不但可以保护我们的水路航运,也可以震慑其他伊特鲁里亚城邦,有利于再次说服它们与我们结盟！”塔皮鲁斯颇具信心的分析道。 „But, Kyes Rerat is the place mountain city, the mountain ridge of being situated also wants high compared with here Capito Linshan many, does not capture easily. The present situation does not allow us to lead too many soldiers to attack, once the long time cannot capture, our armies will be bogged down in difficulties both sides combat!” The Tolmides look dignified reminder said. “可是,凯斯雷拉是座山城,坐落的山岭比这里的卡皮托林山还要高不少,并不容易攻取。现在的局势又不允许我们带太多的士兵去进攻,一旦久攻不下,我们的军队将陷入两面作战的困境！”托尔米德神色凝重的提醒道。 „Kyes Rerat, although is the mountain city, but its many citizens expedite in the Hernici army in Rome, couple days ago the third regiment also captured their some citizens, soldier who in fact now in Kyes Rerat city many cannot battle. Your majesty, I leads four brigades to take over Kyes Rerat city quickly!” Epiphanes requests a combat assignment loudly. “凯斯雷拉虽然是山城,但它有不少公民在罗马远征赫尔尼基的军队中,前几天第三军团还俘虏了他们的一些公民,实际上现在凯斯雷拉城内并没有多少能作战的士兵。陛下,我带领四个大队就能够很快攻下凯斯雷拉城！”埃皮忒尼斯大声请战。 He finishes speaking, Matonis refutes to say immediately: „Epiphanes, your army had not taken over Capito Linshan for these days, but also wants to attack Kyes Rerat, ok! Your majesty, makes our second regiment carry out this task!” 他话音刚落,马托尼斯就立刻驳斥道:“埃皮忒尼斯,你的部队这几天连卡皮托林山都没有攻下,还想去进攻凯斯雷拉,算了吧！陛下,还是让我们第二军团去执行这个任务！”
