其实,泰阿根尼斯和法莱库斯在得知城内的混乱情况之后,都感到了害怕,毕竟戴奥尼亚的几万大军正在北面虎视眈眈,这个时候锡拉库扎城内要是出现内乱,那可就危险了！ Happen to has the big priest to come to console, two people take advantage of the situation to back down without losing face indicated one after another: For Syracuse, is willing to reconcile. 正好有大祭司前来劝解,两人顺坡下驴的相继表示:为了锡拉库扎,愿意和解。 .......................................... …………………………………… By third day early morning, Syracuse congressmen all serious entry conference site, but also without and other conferences started, spreads the news suddenly: The Theonia army had/left the Catania city, is marching to south, the population is over 50,000 people. 到了第三天一早,锡拉库扎的议员们个个神情严肃的进入会场,还没等会议开始,就突然传来消息:有一支戴奥尼亚军队出了卡塔奈城,正向南面行军,人数超过5万人。 The congressmen are tense immediately: Was Theonia this must launch the attack to us?! 议员们顿时紧张起来:戴奥尼亚这是要向我们发起进攻了吗？！ When everyone feels scared, safe flatter root Neeti Station gets up, shows good will to Farlet Cousse on own initiative, and generous speech, reminded everyone not to want on working as of Theonian, should unite, full power defense forthcoming attack. 当大家都感到恐慌的时候,泰阿根尼斯站起来,主动向法莱库斯示好,并慷慨发言,提醒大家不要上了戴奥尼亚人的当,应该团结起来,全力防御即将到来的进攻。 Farlet Cousse as well as other centrists made the positive response, and starts to discuss enthusiastically how to deal with the forthcoming war. 法莱库斯以及其他的中立派议员们对此作出了积极的响应,并且开始踊跃商讨如何应对即将到来的战争。 In the conference site does not have to argue again, even was more harmonious than the past conference, as if yesterday the quarrel and insult here had not happened with the conflict are the same. 会场内没有再发生争吵,甚至比以往的会议还要和谐,仿佛昨天在这里的争吵、辱骂和冲突从来没有发生过一样。 However, has the political accomplishment generals to reach the compromise in the situation of crisis-charged, making the powwow regain the order, does not mean that the general public can easily achieve, let alone they have not known in the powwow the situation to change, although the city hall increased the patrol leader, but in the city has the conflict to happen as before, and caused a tragedy. 但是,有着政治素养的将军们在面临危机的情况下能够达成妥协,让议事会恢复秩序,并不意味着普通民众能够轻易做到,何况他们还不知道议事会内情况已经发生了改变,虽然市政厅增派了巡逻队,但是城内依旧有冲突发生,并且导致了一件惨事。 The fan who young people who several support safe flatter root Nice with one group of independents argued, finally initiates fighting, they are overwhelmed by sheer numbers, encounter encircle hit. 几名拥护泰阿根尼斯的年轻人与一群中立派的拥趸发生了争执,最后引发殴斗,他们寡不敌众,遭到围打。 When the patrol leader rushes to and disperses the crowd, impressively discovered young people, had been poured by the dagger stabbing chest in the pool of blood, moreover who no one saw clearly is assassinated him. 等巡逻队赶到、驱散人群时,赫然发现一名年轻人被匕首刺中胸膛、已经倒在血泊之中,而且根本无人看清是谁刺杀了他。 The patrol leaders do not know how suddenly should handle this matter, but supported the people of Democratic Party to rush to the scene, saw the sad scene, the public sentiment is roused to action, the angry request punished the murderer. 巡逻队一时间不知该如何处理这件事,但拥护民主派的民众已经陆续赶到了现场,看到惨象,群情激奋,愤怒的要求惩治凶手。 The news passes to the powwow, the lively conference site suddenly becomes tranquil, Democratic Party and independent are holding the emergency discussion respectively, what kind of measure should take to be able not only by own supporter satisfaction, and can make Syracuse not cause the turbulence under such crisis. 消息传到议事会,原本热闹的会场突然变得平静,民主派和中立派都在各自进行紧急磋商,该采取怎样的措施才能既让自己的支持者满意,又能让锡拉库扎在这样的危机下不导致动荡。 At this moment, the sentry post searches and passes on a news: The Theonia army way Palagonia ruins, continue to south, the leading cavalry has possibly neared Gela. 就在这时,哨探又传回来一则消息:戴奥尼亚的军队途径帕拉戈尼亚废墟,继续向南,先头的骑兵可能已经抵近杰拉。 The congressmen were shocked, immediately all looks the happy expression, even some people erupt to cheer: „Originally the Theonia army do not make war with Syracuse, but is attacks Carthaginians!” 议员们都愣住了,随即个个面露喜色,甚至有人爆发出欢呼:“原来戴奥尼亚军队并非是要与锡拉库扎开战,而是去进攻迦太基人！” Without covering of war dark cloud, the conference site atmosphere all of a sudden becomes relaxed. 没有了战争乌云的笼罩,会场气氛一下子变得轻松。 At this time, safe flatter root Neeti Station got up, sternly pointed out: „Since is unable to know that who the murderer/culprit is, the independent fans of participation fighting have the responsibility for an offense, should be arrested completely, places on trial!” 这时,泰阿根尼斯站起来,严厉指出:“既然无从知道真凶是谁,参与殴斗的中立派拥趸都有罪责,应该被全部逮捕起来,进行审判！” Farlet Cousse and the others resolutely opposed certainly, the sound of quarrel resounds in the conference site again. 法莱库斯等人当然坚决反对,争吵之声再次在会场内响起。 In a while, the contradictory intensification of Democratic Party and independent who Nuse's speech will have subsided again, he said: „Although Theonian has started to launch the attack to Carthaginians, but our Syracuse was still in a state of hostility with Theonia, to guarantee will not have the accident/surprise in the future, the full power that also to let Theonian feels relieved attacks Carthaginians, we and Theonia restore is necessary temporarily in a friendly way, therefore I think that- must fulfill the condition that Theonian gives!” 没过多久,塞柏努斯的发言再次将原本已经平息的民主派和中立派的矛盾激化,他说:“虽然戴奥尼亚人已经开始向迦太基人发动了进攻,但是我们锡拉库扎仍然与戴奥尼亚处于敌对状态,为了确保将来不出现意外,也为了让戴奥尼亚人放心的全力进攻迦太基人,我们与戴奥尼亚暂时恢复友好是必要的,因此我认为-还必须要履行戴奥尼亚人给出的条件！” The condition that Theonian gives is to request the Syracuse powwow punishes Farlet Cousse and the others! Immediately, the disturbance that in the conference site raises gets bigger and bigger. 戴奥尼亚人给出的条件就是要求锡拉库扎议事会处罚法莱库斯等人！顿时,会场内掀起的风波越变越大。 Although Shick Tass has not been involved, but Democratic Party and independent blamed each other, the content that exposes made him feel that the grief and indignation and distress, before he understood were many , not the clear matter: Why did some congressmen of agreement good harbor Populares actually support in the conference suddenly to the harbor civilians disadvantageous resolution of? Why harbor Populares gradually becomes does not unite, and causes the fission?...... 希克塔斯虽然没有参与其中,但是民主派与中立派相互攻讦,所揭露出来的内容让他感到悲愤和痛心,他明白了很多以前不明白的事情:为什么原本约定好的港口平民派的一些议员却在会议上突然支持对港口平民不利的决议？为什么港口平民派逐渐变得不团结,并且导致分裂？…… Toward evening, Shick Tass exhausted returns to the harbor house, was actually informed by the family member: The civilians said that has the important matter to look for him, is waiting in the hall. 黄昏时分,希克塔斯心力交瘁的回到港口的住宅,却被家人告知:有一位平民说是有要事找他,正在大厅里等候。 As the general of harbor Populares, Shick Tass receives some harbor civilians frequently at home, even the freeman, listens to their some opinions and requests , helping them solve some difficulties with every effort. 作为港口平民派的将军,希克塔斯经常在家里接见一些港口平民、甚至自由民,听取他们的一些意见和要求,尽力帮他们解决一些困难。 While servant when preparing dinner, he decided that first sees this person. 趁着奴仆在准备晚餐之际,他决定先去见一见这个人。 Saw that Shick Tass enters the living room, this civilians set out to salute unhurriedly. 看到希克塔斯走进客厅,这位平民不慌不忙起身行礼。 Shick Tass sees his appearance to be ordinary, in the mind also no impression, before should, has not seen, therefore asked: „Do you name? What matter asks me to have?” 希克塔斯见他长相普通,脑海中也没有什么印象,应该以前没有见过,于是问道:“你叫什么名字？找我有什么事？” On that person of that ordinary wooden face revealed suddenly a mysterious happy expression, he said one in a soft voice: „Sir Shick Tass, Sir Antras Polis holds me to give regards to you!” 那人那张平凡木纳的脸上突然显露出一丝神秘的笑意,他轻声说了一句:“希克塔斯大人,安特拉波里斯大人托我向你问好！” The Shick Tass's remote memory was stirred to seethe by these words, in his heart shakes, the muddy eyes immediately become sharp, is looking straight ahead that person. 希克塔斯久远的记忆被这句话搅得翻腾起来,他心中一震,浑浊的双眼顿时变得锐利起来,直视着那人。 That person confident looks at each other with it. 那人坦然与之对视。 Quick, Shick Tass responded, turned round to trusted aide servant serious saying of: „You first go out, tell others, without my order, is not allowed to enter here!” 很快,希克塔斯反应过来,回身对心腹仆人郑重的说道:“你先出去,告诉其他人,没有我的命令,不准进入这里！” After the servant goes out, Shick Tass then asked: „Are you Theonian?” 等仆人出去之后,希克塔斯这才问道:“你是戴奥尼亚人？” „Yes. My name was Art Meese, the Theonia citizen, from Catania.” Man honest saying. “是的。我叫阿尔特米斯,戴奥尼亚公民,来自卡塔奈。”男人坦诚的说道。 „Theonian, your big courage!” Shick Tass fierce pats the chairback, shouted sternly: „Said quickly how many people you do have in the Syracuse city?! Is the turbulence in the city having you creates?!” “戴奥尼亚人,你好大的胆子！”希克塔斯猛的一拍椅背,厉声喝道:“快说,你们有多少人在锡拉库扎城内？！城内出现的动荡是不是你们造成的？！” That person had not been daunted, instead shows a faint smile, sincere saying: „In the two years the day of Syracuse harbor civilians does not feel better! The share ground that they have accumulates is reducing, even some were also changed to move, participates in the ecclesia population to be limited, selects into the population of powwow to be limited, was voted as the quota of general also to tail off...... the harbor civilians unable to unite, resisted for own benefit, instead was divided into several schools, because sailing a boat of harbor wharf unloaded cargo the benefit mutual battle that as well as fished, gave the powwow to suppress your reasons...... Shick Tass, if Sir Antras Polis knows today the condition of harbor civilians, he very distressed!” 那人并没有被吓住,反而微微一笑,正色的说道:“这两年锡拉库扎港口平民的日子并不好过吧！他们拥有的份地面积在缩小,甚至有的还被改迁,参加公民大会的人数受到限制,选入议事会的人数受到限制,就连被推选为将军的名额也变少了……港口平民们不能团结起来,为自己的利益去抗争,反而分成好几派,相互之间因为港口码头的行船卸货以及捕鱼的利益互相争斗,更是给予了议事会打压你们的理由……希克塔斯,如果安特拉波里斯大人知道今天港口平民的状况,他会非常的痛心！” Although Antras Polis does not hold an office in the Kingdom of Theonia intelligence service, but the past years was he delegates the personnel, helping the Syracuse harbor civilians join up, finally succeeded started the riot, although therefore Shick Tass they have not seen Antras Polis, but was not strange to this name, this several times was Art Meese mentioned his reason. 虽然安特拉波利斯早已不在戴奥尼亚王国情报部门任职,但是当年正是他委派人员,帮助锡拉库扎港口平民联合起来,最终成功的发动了暴乱,因此虽然希克塔斯他们并没有见过安特拉波里斯,但是对这个名字却并不陌生,这就是阿尔特米斯几次提到他的原因。 Shick Tass is listening to these words, on the face is azure and purple same place together, quite feels shamefacedly: Harbor Populares has today's difficult position, naturally is insufficient with his ability, leadership is with an improper method. 希克塔斯听着这些话,脸上是青一块、紫一块,颇感羞愧:港口平民派有今日的困境,当然跟他能力不足、领导无方有关。 But he recovers quickly: Sits before oneself, but Syracuse enemy! 但他很快又回过神来:坐在自己面前的可是锡拉库扎的敌人！ He sinks immediately the face, wants to refute. 他当即沉下脸,想要进行驳斥。 Art Meese actually suddenly pulls out one to tie up the paper volume of department from the bosom with the black rope, the sinking sound said: „Sir Antras Polis in the north of kingdom, is not certainly able to understand that the bad condition of today's Syracuse harbor civilians, however in Catania King Davos your majesty was earnest carefully to us understood the Syracuse situation, expressed the unusual concern to your situations, and said that must make best effort to help you, he also wrote this letter/believes, making me take to you!” 阿尔特米斯却突然从怀里掏出一个用黑绳绑系的莎纸卷,沉声说道:“安特拉波里斯大人远在王国的北部,当然无法了解到今日锡拉库扎港口平民的糟糕状况,但是在卡塔奈的戴弗斯国王陛下却非常认真仔细的向我们了解了锡拉库扎的情况,对你们的情况表示了异常的关切,并且说要尽最大努力帮助你们,他还写了这封信,让我带给你！” Saying, he delivers the paper volume in hand forward. 说着,他将手中的纸卷向前一送。 Shick Tass subconscious in the future will draw back, two straight is staring at that paper volume, the pupil sudden reduction: This is enemy who the Syracuse generals and congressmen most dread- letter/believes that King Theonia writes! Receives it, feared oneself will be seduced, feared, once the matter divulges, this will become the evidence of collaboration with the enemy ; But does not meet it, was worried to miss the golden opportunity, the harbor civilians present condition is truly unsatisfactory, but today's conference to oneself is an attack...... 希克塔斯下意识的往后一退,两眼直直的盯着那个纸卷,瞳孔急剧的缩小:这可是锡拉库扎的将军和议员们最畏惧的敌人-戴奥尼亚国王所写的信！接下它,怕自己会受诱惑,也怕一旦事情泄露,这会成为自己通敌的证据;但不接它,又担心错过了大好机会,港口平民现在的状况确实不佳,而今天的会议又对自己是一个打击…… In Shick Tass heart is very contradictory, looking at dumbly on the spot ; But Art Meese does not say a word, has been lifting that paper volume...... the entire picture as if static generally. 希克塔斯心中十分矛盾,呆立在原地;而阿尔特米斯不发一言,一直举着那个纸卷……整个画面仿佛静止了一般。 Long time, Shick Tass sighed gently: „I old......” 良久,希克塔斯轻轻地叹了口气:“我老了……” His prudent received that with both hands lightly , if no thing, to be heavy if thousand honored paper volumes...... 他慎重的用双手接过了那个轻若无物、却又重若千钧的纸卷…… ............................................. ……………………………………… The Syracuse sentry post searches actually not to notice, while the Theonia army marches to south, a Theonia army had/left the Catania west gate in time early, marches toward the mountainous area of northwest direction. 锡拉库扎的哨探其实并没有注意到,在戴奥尼亚大军向南行军的同时,还有一支戴奥尼亚军队在更早一些的时间出了卡塔奈的西门,向着西北方向的山区行军。 By afternoon, this army neared was away from west Mount Etna not far Hadji Lihons. 到了下午,这支军队抵近了距离埃特纳火山西麓不远的阿吉利翁。 Beforehand obtained the news, and Krey who waited for outside the city welcomed. 事先得到消息、并在城外等候的克雷鲁迎了上来。 „Sir Krey, making you wait for a long time!” Litom and Epiphanes quickly dismount, was sorry. Although Krey they are young more than ten years old, but he similarly is the council senior statesman, this time is also ordered temporarily to give up the administration, coming specially to assist them, two people do not dare to have the least bit to be cold. “克雷鲁大人,让你久等了！”利扎鲁和埃皮忒尼斯急忙下马,表示歉意。虽然克雷鲁比他们年轻十几岁,但他同样是元老院元老,这次还专门奉命暂时放弃行政事务、来辅助他们,两人不敢有半点慢待。
