Carter Lannis first time sees such fight. 卡特.兰尼斯第一次见到这样的战斗。 Huge lineup that more than 300 Knight compose, unexpectedly including defense line the side has not traced, has been utterly routed. 300多位骑士组成的庞大阵容,竟然连防线的边都没有摸到,就已溃不成军。 Until finally, them cannot enter 50 meters range-- that is the flintlock team fireline that your highness draws, when crosses 50 rice-flour noodles, all talented people allow to open fire. 直至最后,他们也没能进入50米范围——那是殿下划下的火枪队射击线,只有越过50米线时,所有人才允许开火。 Four cannon stiffly contain the match in hundred rice-flour noodle nearby. In 150 to 100 meters sector, lies down 20 to have the corpse lying this way and that but these people are the same with oneself, is highly skilled Knight, otherwise, their impossible still controlled the horses to go forward in the fire bellow high-speed. 四门火炮就把对手硬生生地遏制在百米线附近。150到100米区间内,横七竖八地躺着20来具尸体,而这些人和自己一样,都是技艺精湛的骑士,否则的话,他们不可能在炮火轰鸣声中仍控制着马匹高速前进。 Carter rejoiced oneself are not. He has a premonition faintly, the later war will become entirely different, but will grasp such great power Roland Wimbledon, will aspire to seize the throne is also sooner or later matter. 卡特庆幸自己不是其中一员。他隐隐预感到,以后的战争将变得大不相同,而掌握这样强大力量的罗兰.温布顿,问鼎王位也是迟早的事。 After the First Army small number of people sees the frigid battlefield, presented the dizziness, vomit and other untoward effects, but because does not fight hand-to-hand personal, cannon kills the frightening feeling that the enemy brings to be smaller than kills the enemy with the blade personally, responded that the symptom is not serious. Carter picked up one batch to see the hunter of stump residual limb and blood from the team, gathered up dead bodies to dying in battle, simultaneously searched for also living person. 第一军少数人看到惨烈的战场后,出现了头晕、呕吐等不良反应,但由于不是贴身肉搏,火炮杀伤敌人带来的震慑感要小于亲手用刀刃杀死敌人,反应症状并不算严重。卡特从队里挑出一批见惯了残肢和鲜血的猎人,给战死者收尸,同时搜寻还活着的人。 Sun falls into the hills gradually, Carter is looking at the blood red horizon, crow cry that as well as in the distant place woods resounds, he felt dreary suddenly. 太阳逐渐落入群山之中,卡特望着血红的天际,以及远方树林中响起的鸦鸣,他忽然感到了一丝萧瑟。 The Knight time ended. 骑士的时代结束了。 ...... …… Cannot recover Duke Ryan to the present. 莱恩公爵到现在都没能回过神来。 He does not understand that to have defeated how, obviously that defense line thin as cicada wing, so long as holds gently then can pass through, the Knight actually resembles saw Devil scatters in all directions to run away generally. He cannot even blame others, because to/clashes in the forefront, is elite Knight of his subordinates. 他不明白怎么就败了,明明那道防线薄如蝉翼,只要轻轻一捅便能贯穿,骑士们却像看到了魔鬼一般四散而逃。他甚至不能去责怪别人,因为冲在最前面的,就是他麾下的精锐骑士。 personal guard including is cutting down several people, makes the mercenary soldier of coming in swarms avoid the Duke position, but also that is all, how regardless of he roared, is unable to collect the subordinate of rout. But, Osmond Ryan Duke has to retreat along with stream of people backward, this falls back is nearly ten miles. 亲卫连着砍倒数人,才让蜂拥而至的佣兵避开公爵的位置,但也仅此而已罢了,无论他怎么咆哮,都无法收束溃败的部下。无奈之下,奥斯蒙.莱恩公爵只好随着人流向后撤退,这一退就是近十里。 Until night arrives, Duke chose one to approach the river bank the place to pitch camp, separate Knight and mercenary soldier followed the flare to close up, but still had most people missing. What is more awful, when retreats freemen threw down without hesitation has pushed a cart with the grain, therefore they must slaughter several horse to act as the military provisions tonight. 直到夜晚降临,公爵选择了一处靠近河岸的地方安营扎寨,失散的骑士和佣兵才顺着火把靠拢过来,不过仍有大部分人下落不明。更糟糕的是,撤退时自由民毫不犹豫地丢下了推车和粮食,因此今晚他们只得宰杀掉几匹马来充当军粮。 In the camp biggest tent, Five Major Families noble gathers one group, looks pale looks to Duke Ryan, but where latter's complexion also very to goes. 营地最大的帐篷里,五大家贵族聚成一团,面色苍白地望向莱恩公爵,而后者的脸色也好不到哪里去。 „Who can say to look, what new weapon they have used? The distance is farther than the bow crossbow, cannot see the stone that ejects like the trebuchet,” he took a look at Ryan Dmitry one, „you also flushed at that time in the front row, what has to see?” “谁能说说看,他们到底使用了什么新武器？距离比弓弩远,又不像投石机那样能看到抛出的石块,”他瞅了雷恩.梅德一眼,“你当时也冲在前列,有看到什么吗？” „Sir, I...... It is not quite clear,” Ryan is holding the head, „only hears the bellow to keep resounding, they batches of dropping down, especially finally that sound, in first Knight hits probably suddenly on an invisible wall, I noticed that his body shakes, and arm is split up, is similar to......” he thinks, „withstand/top the egg that throws down from the castle.” “大人,我……不太清楚,”雷恩扶着脑袋,“只听到轰鸣声不停响起,他们就成批的倒下,特别是最后那一响,冲在第一位的骑士好像突然间撞在一堵无形的墙上,我看到他身子一震,头和手臂四分五裂,就如同……”他想了想,“从城堡顶上丢下去的鸡蛋。” „Is witch?” Count Elk twittering said. “难道是女巫？”麋鹿伯爵呢喃道。 „impossible,” Duke knits the brows saying that „my Knight hand/subordinate is wearing God Punishment Stone, the witch basic impossible wound to them. You have to play witch, what do they have to distinguish with the ordinary female in front of God stone?” “不可能,”公爵皱眉说道,“我手下的骑士都佩戴着神罚之石,女巫根本不可能伤到他们。你又不是没玩过女巫,她们在神石面前跟普通女子有什么区别？” „Was right, Sir,” the Ryan resembles recalls to mind anything to come suddenly general, „before hearing loud sound, I see them to line up in formation have several thing like cart, the car(riage) on the shelf the giant iron pipe, inside can emit the red light and smog.” “对了,大人,”雷恩忽然像记起什么来一般,“在听到巨响之前,我看到他们列队中有几辆像推车一样的玩意,车上架着巨大的铁管,里面能冒出红光和烟雾。” „Iron pipe? Red light and smog? Isn't that ritual barrel?” The Count Elk doubts said. “铁管？红光和烟雾？那不就是个礼桶吗？”麋鹿伯爵疑惑道。 Duke knows certainly that the ritual barrel is anything, before also only then Kingdom Capital noble took to use when the significant celebration, now regional feudal lord will prepare 1-2 basically. In his castle has a pair of bronze ritual barrel, after putting in snow powder, can crack. But that sound absorbs the person heart and soul compared with today thunderous, the basic phase difference was too far. 公爵当然知道礼桶是什么,以前还只有王都贵族们在重大庆典时拿出来用用,现在各地领主基本都会备上一两个。他的城堡里就有一对青铜礼桶,放入雪粉后就能炸响。可那响声比起今天摄人心魄的雷鸣,根本相差太远了。 „Ritual barrel will not make Knight be split up,” Count Honeysuckle said that „what no matter the prince used was what weapon, we have defeated, what to do then should?” “礼桶可不会让骑士四分五裂,”金银花伯爵开口说,“不管王子用的是什么武器,我们都已经败了,接下来该怎么办？” Duke Ryan has swept his one eyes disgruntledly, is defeated a word to listen to appear in him especially grating, „we did not have the failure,” he emphasized that „a disadvantage of fight is unable to change the final outcome. So long as returns to stronghold, I can recruit a team again, simultaneously cuts off the trade on Scarlet Water River. Does not have the grain to supplement, Border Town could not support for one month. So long as he dares to lead these countrymen, my Knight can from one side and behind routs him.” 莱恩公爵不悦地扫了他一眼,失败一词在他听来显得尤为刺耳,“我们还没有失败,”他强调道,“一场战斗的不利无法改变最终结果。只要回到要塞,我可以再征召起一支队伍,同时掐断赤水河上的贸易。没有粮食补充,边陲镇撑不了一个月。只要他敢把那些村夫带出来,我的骑士就能从侧面和背后击溃他。” The victory will be itself finally, he thinks, the loss that but therefore suffers is not small town can make up...... To take northern region again has almost become the bubble. Damn! If can catch Roland Wimbledon, must tear to shreds him is good. 胜利终会属于自己,他想,但因此遭受的损失根本不是一个小镇能弥补的……想要再拿下北境几乎已成泡影。该死！如果能抓到罗兰.温布顿,一定要将他碎尸万段才好。 „But the Sir, the fleet on Scarlet Water River not only came from Longsong Stronghold, Willow Town, Fallen Dragon Ridge and Scarlet Water City ships, if the complete truncation gets down, can......” the Count Honeysuckle hesitant say/way. “可是大人,赤水河上的船队不只来自长歌要塞,还有柳叶镇、坠龙岭和赤水城的船只,若是全部截下来,会不会……”金银花伯爵犹豫道。 „I all buy am, so long as pays money, they sold to anyone to be the same.” Duke iced coldly saying that „everybody returned to the tent to sleep first, tomorrow in the morning on set off. Has Knight of horse and we moves together, without the horse, remains to be responsible for leading the mercenary soldier.” “我全买下来就是,只要付钱,他们卖给谁都一样。”公爵冰冷冷地说,“大家先回帐篷睡觉吧,明天清晨就出发。有马的骑士和我们一同行动,没有马的,就留下来负责带领佣兵。” Night is unable to march, even if the Fourth Prince plan pursues, then from before dawn set off, keeps behind mercenary soldier who first meets. He thinks, even if this crowd of waste collapse at the first encounter, can win a lot of time to oneself. 夜晚无法行军,即使四王子打算追击,从拂晓时分出发,首先遇到的便是留在身后的佣兵。他想,哪怕这群废物一触即溃,也能给自己争取到不少时间。 Next day Duke has not received the news that the prince pursues, to confirm this news, he sent out oneself trusted subordinate to widen the reconnaissance scope, repayment that obtained similarly so. This makes him relax slightly, is that new-style weapon is hard to move with the trebuchet probably generally, can only in the defense wartime use. By one group with the miner of wooden club, the prince is not daring to act rashly only. 第二天公爵并没有收到王子追上来的消息,为了确认这一消息,他派出自己的亲信扩大了侦查范围,得到的回报同样如此。这让他稍稍松了口气,大概是那种新式武器跟投石机一般难以移动,只能在防御战时使用。单靠一帮拿着木棍的矿工,王子也不敢轻举妄动。 Arrived 3 : 00 pm, Duke orders Knight to stop going forward, waited for the person who following walk follows. When approaches dusk, the mercenary soldier and freemen one after another overtake the cavalry. The people are busy, iriss out place to put up the tent to settle carelessly. 到下午三时,公爵命令骑士停止前进,等待后面步行的人跟上。接近黄昏时,佣兵和自由民才陆陆续续追上骑兵。众人又是一番忙碌,圈出一块地草草搭设帐篷了事。 Has wanted today's this evening, tomorrow he can rush to Longsong Stronghold-- reaches as high as three zhang (3.33 m) blue stone city wall is similar to the natural moat to several hundred people of armies, even if the opposite party has firing distance extremely far new weapon, after he can also the trebuchet with wall counter-attack. This account, he well will certainly calculate with the prince. 只要过了今天这一晚,明天他就能赶到长歌要塞——高达三丈的青石城墙对几百人的部队来说如同天堑,就算对方拥有射程极远的新型武器,他也能用墙后的投石机进行反击。这笔账,他一定会跟王子好好算算。 However made Duke Ryan feel what some were uncomfortable, today walks, he always thought that stared is looking general. 不过令莱恩公爵感到有些不舒服的是,今天一路走来,他总觉得被人盯着看一般。 Probably is the misconception, he thinks, oneself was extremely anxious. 大概是错觉,他想,自己太过紧张了。 Next morning, Duke was awakened by the crackle of gunfire. 第二天清晨,公爵是被炮声惊醒的。 When he runs out of the tent, discovered that all people are fleeing like a scared rat, once for a while has the soil and blood splash, looks to the west side, puts on standard leather armor „militia” platoon becomes a straight line, calmly stands outside camp. In the ear-spitting bellow, in the Duke head only remaining thought-- do they pursue? 当他冲出帐篷,发现所有人都在抱头鼠窜,时不时有泥土和鲜血飞溅而起,向西边望去,穿着制式皮甲的“民兵”排成一条直线,静静站在营地外。震耳的轰鸣声中,公爵脑袋里只剩下一个念头——他们是怎么追上来的？ Knight that yesterday was responsible for investigating why has not discovered the pursuing troops!? 昨天负责侦查的骑士没为什么发现追兵！？ „Sir Duke, walks quickly!” personal guard pulls a horse, shouts loudly. “公爵大人,快走！”亲卫牵来一匹马,大声喊道。 Osmond Ryan then awakens from vacant, he turns over/stands up to start, dashes about wildly to east with personal guard. However just left camp shortly, they saw another exactly the same army. 奥斯蒙.莱恩这才从茫然中醒悟,他翻身上马,跟着亲卫向东狂奔。然而刚出营地没多久,他们就看到了另一支一模一样的部队。 Similarly standard leather armor, in the hand is grasping the strange short club, arranges neat one row, the expression seems seems same. 同样制式的皮甲,手中握着奇怪的短棍,排列成整齐的一排,就连表情看上去都仿佛一样。 Duke heard the opposite to resound the music of extremely rich rhythm, the His Highness the Prince army was stepping the neat step, walked to his front surface. 紧接着,公爵听到对面响起了极富节奏感的乐声,王子殿下的部队迈着整齐的步伐,向他迎面走来。
