#873: noble and convict

When Iron Axe enters piece of Golden Harvest City in confusion, although in the surface was wooden, in heart also the destructive effect of being astonished new firearm. 铁斧走进一片狼藉的金穗城时,面上虽无表情,心中也在讶异新火器的破坏效果。 Although this type was called weapon of mortar he once repeatedly to participate in the test phase by Your Majesty, but the investment actual combat and test are actually two matters. 尽管这种被陛下称为迫击炮的武器在测试阶段他就曾多次参与,但投入实战与测试却是两码事。 A group comprised of five people, everyone carries two rounds of shells, under situation that in not having the reserve ammunition supports can also gain such momentum, really made one shock. 一个小组由五人组成,每人携带两发炮弹,在没有后备弹药支援的情况下亦能打出这样的声势,实在令人震撼。 He knows the before rate of fire of mortar is higher, installs the field artillery, had expected the scenes of when dozens group salvos, may work as witnessed for the first time, he discovered that oneself had still underestimated this firearm. 他知道迫击炮的射速远高于前装野战炮,也预想过数十个小组齐射的场景,可当首次目睹时,他发现自己仍然低估了这门火器。 The mortar single shot might cannot compare the stronghold artillery, but wins facilely, easy-to-use, does not need the witch assistance also to accompany the armed forces to move, but can also cross the city wall attack to hide after that goal, under ammunition sufficient situation, to the attack of enemy is almost destructive. If trades to make First Army to bear such firepower attack, he has not grasped the army to insist. 迫击炮单发威力比不上要塞炮,但胜在轻便、易用,无需女巫协助也能随军行动,还能越过城墙攻击藏身其后的目标,在弹药充足的情况下,对敌人的打击几乎是毁灭性的。如果换作第一军来承受这样的火力打击,他也没把握部队能坚持下来。 No...... Not being able to insist that is normal, facing hot rain that blotting out the sky to drop, has not frightened the paralysis at the scene well in the past. 不……坚持不住才正常吧,面对铺天盖地落下的火雨,没有当场吓瘫过去就算不错的了。 Iron Axe finally understands now why initially Your Majesty confidently seemed like these excellent field artillery throws the furnace area completely in front of the mortar, solid core projectile weapon that before used truly did not need that has equipped. 铁斧现在总算明白,当初陛下为何信心十足地将那些看似精良的野战炮全部扔回了炉窑区在迫击炮面前,之前所使用的实芯弹丸武器确实已没有了装备的必要。 However, entire Greycastle estimate also only then Your Majesty Roland can use such firearm. 不过话说回来,整个灰堡估计也只有罗兰陛下才用得起这样的火器。 It is reported that is only a construction cost of round of shell in 34 gold royal about, this means that hit more than 300 a moment ago instantaneously, spends such as the running water to be also mediocre. But high explosive shell that the stronghold artillery uses also wants on expensive several times, can gold royal that if to Devil, in the storehouse will store up from now on Neverwinter City support to War of Divine Will really finished? 据传光是一发炮弹的造价就在34枚金龙左右,这意味着刚才瞬间打出去了300多枚,花钱如流水也不过如此。而要塞炮所使用的开花弹则还要贵上好几倍,若是今后对上魔鬼,库房里储存的金龙真能够无冬城支撑到神意之战结束吗？ Is good because of should be this issue worry is not he. 好在该为这个问题烦恼的不是他。 Makes Barov go to the headache, after all the duty of army only then one, that won the victory. 就让巴罗夫去头痛吧,毕竟军队的任务只有一个,那就是赢得胜利。 Across filling the long street of niter smoke, Iron Axe one line of were arriving at the city square center. 穿过弥漫着硝烟味的长街,铁斧一行人来到了城市广场中央。 Here had surrounded in depth by First Army, noble that all lives was brought here, handling after waiting surrender. 此处已被第一军层层包围,所有活下来的贵族都被带到了这里,等待投降后的处置。 He has swept the dirty people, has not opened the mouth, noble has then stood, „I am Warship Bay feudal lord, Cassin Earl, Your Majesty Roland where?” 他扫过灰头土脸的众人,还未开口,一名贵族便已站了出来,“我是舰湾领主,卡辛伯爵,请问罗兰陛下在哪里？” The Golden Harvest City peripheral river system is numerous, the territory many by the bay and beach name, Iron Axe vaguely remembers, Warship Bay is clamps in big fief between Golden Harvest and Sea Wind Region together, can occupy the aristocratic family of this domain, usually in should enjoy the vision that the citizen respect, has dreaded fully. However the politeness at this kind of time, the opposite party that desirably raising the chin that and does intentionally to act with constraint appears somewhat laughable. „Your Majesty has no free time to care about the eastern region matters concerned, here has full authority and responsibility for by me.” 金穗城周边水系众多,领土多以湾、滩命名,铁斧依稀记得,舰湾算是一块夹在金穗与海风郡之间的大封地,能够占据这种地盘的世家,平日里应该享足了领民敬仰、畏惧的目光。不过在这种时候,对方那刻意昂起的下巴和故作矜持的礼貌就显得有些可笑了。“陛下没空顾及东境的事宜,这里由我全权负责。” „You?” Cassin Earl frowned immediately. “你？”卡辛伯爵顿时皱起了眉头。 „This fellow is cracking a joke, does he look is not the Greycastle person?” “这家伙在开什么玩笑,他一看就不是灰堡人吧？” „Will Roland Wimbledon make Sandpeople manage the army?” “罗兰.温布顿会让一个沙民来管理军队？” „Expedites such important matter possibly not to kiss to? He did not fear that the army does disperse instantly?” “远征这样的大事怎么可能不亲至？难道他就不怕军队一哄而散吗？” Incessantly was Warship Bay feudal lord, in the crowd also flood sound of the suspicion. 不止是舰湾领主,人群中也泛起了一阵怀疑之声。 „The Eastern Front Army commander-in-chief truly is Sir Iron Axe, this point we can testify,” adjutant Bear's Paw cannot bear shout. “东线军的总指挥确实是铁斧大人,这一点我们都可以作证,”副官熊掌忍不住嚷道。 „Eastern Front Army? What is that?” Cassin asked. “东线军？那又是什么？”卡辛问道。 „Naturally refers to regaining the eastern region army” “自然就是指收复东境的军队” „Bear's Paw!” Iron Axe has interrupted the words of adjutant fierce, but the latter had realized at this moment also own making an indiscreet remark, has covered the mouth with the hand hastily. “熊掌！”铁斧厉声打断了副官的话,而后者此刻也意识到了自己的失言,连忙用手捂住了嘴巴。 Miss Edith said right, even if Your Majesty has had made up mind to take back enfeoffs the authority, thoroughly overthrows traditional noble, but the influences of these people still exist. hunter family background Bear's Paw when facing them, although cannot say that acts servilely, may care about that title obviously, if not so, will not violate this and other low level mistakes. 伊蒂丝小姐说得没错,即使陛下已经决意收回分封权力,彻底推翻传统贵族,但这些人的影响力依然存在。猎户出身的熊掌在面对他们时,虽然称不上卑躬屈膝,可明显还是在意那个头衔的,若非如此,也不会犯下这等低级的错误。 Only then he can achieve that point. 只有他能做到那一点了。 Thinks and here, Iron Axe whispered, „you believe also well, does not believe also well, the fact will not change. Why moreover is you comes up the question? Golden Harvest City Duke where, shouldn't he be eastern region wielding?” 思及此处,铁斧沉声道,“你们信也好,不信也好,事实都不会改变。另外为什么是你上来问话？金穗城公爵在哪里,他不应该是东境的执掌者吗？” „Sir Duke had sacrificed in the fight,” Cassin shakes the head, shows a face sorrowful expression, „he insists on leading the Knight group to initiate the upfront charge, we cannot prevent him.” “公爵大人已在战斗中牺牲了,”卡辛摇摇头,露出一脸悲痛的表情,“他执意带领骑士团发起正面冲锋,我们没能阻止他。” Originally that did in make into the person of screen immediately is Duke? Iron Axe has selected the brow, as a soldier, he was actually qualified. „My soldier reports counter-attack to have two people, so-called Knight group where?” He looks to the crowd these has not slipped off noble of armor, „does the Is it possible solemn eastern region protection, under the hand only have Knight?” 原来那个在马上被打成筛子的人是公爵？铁斧挑了挑眉头,作为一名战士,他倒是合格了。“不过我的士兵汇报反击者只有两人,所谓的骑士团在哪里？”他望向人群中那些还未褪下盔甲的贵族,“难不成堂堂东境守护,手底下只有一名骑士么？” „, This......” Cassin is dumbfounded for a while. “呃,这……”卡辛一时哑口无言。 „Do not raise some no, since you are the head of army, our requests spoke frankly with you,” another noble left ranks saying that „surrender, making everybody be Roland Wimbledon works for also good, but he must see one side us. If Your Majesty has no free time eastern region, we sent envoy in the past also to become.” “不要提那些有的没的了,既然你是军队的负责人,那我们的要求就跟你直说好了,”另一名贵族出列道,“投降可以,让大家为罗兰.温布顿效力也行,但他必须见我们一面。如果陛下没空来东境,我们派使者过去也成。” „Who are you?” “你又是谁？” „Viscount Arleighburke,” the opposite party does not bear saying that „before then, we hope has been conformed to treatment of status, if needs the ransom money or the generation of crime gold/metal, said directly the number is.” “阿利伯克子爵,”对方不耐道,“在此之前,我们希望得到符合身份的对待,若需要赎金或代罪金的话,直接说数目就是。” „But your this is the crime of plotting a rebellion,” Iron Axe unemotionally saying that „, even if the noble status cannot make you escape the trial.” “但你们这是谋反之罪,”铁斧面无表情道,“即使贵族身份也不能让你们逃脱审判。” „First, plotting a rebellion is William Borg Duke, he has paid the price. We stay here are helpless the action, should fall and other handling according to the regulation.” “首先,谋反者是威利恩.博格公爵,他已经付出了代价。我们留在这里不过是无奈之举,按照律法应降等处置。” „Right, we are not his vassal, but was controlled by him.” At this time Cassin also recovered, „next, no matter the ruling is anything, that was also decided by Your Majesty. Is it possible do you also want to try us?” “没错,我们并非他的封臣,只是受他辖制而已。”这时卡辛也回过神来,“其次,不管判决是什么,那也得由陛下说了算。难不成你还想审判我们吗？” Iron Axe understood quickly these noble defeat obviously, the reason that actually still puts on airs when they discovered when Roland Wimbledon has not commanded the army to arrive, then lost the interest of conversation. Obviously according to the common sense, after processes defeat to waits for King to see them, know, then places on trial, rather is the exchange of benefit. Cannot pay was eliminated, but can reach the agreement, then may continue to retain the small space, generally speaking is so. 铁斧很快明白了这些贵族明明战败,却依然摆着架子的原因当他们发现罗兰.温布顿并未率军亲临时,便失去了交谈的兴趣。显然按照常理,怎么处理战败者得等国王见过他们后才知道,接下来与其说是审判,倒不如说是利益的交换。付不出的被淘汰出局,而能够达成协议的,则可继续保留一席之地,一般来说都是如此。 They should not be first time faced with such losing battle, believes oneself can put out to move the King condition. 他们应该不是第一次面临这样的败局,也相信自己能够拿出打动国王的条件。 Was only a pity, king who he gives loyalty to is not noble in general sense. 只可惜,他效忠的君王并不是一般意义上的贵族。 Iron Axe shrugs, „I indeed do not have this authority, but same, before Your Majesty has not drawn the conclusion, you are still plotting a rebellion, therefore I can only close into the dungeon you first, when Your Majesty is willing to see you to say again.” 铁斧耸耸肩,“我的确没这个权力,不过同样的,在陛下未作出结论前,你们依然是谋反者,所以我只能先把你们关入地牢,等到陛下愿意见你们了再说。” „How long does that want?” Earl Janwan discontented say/way, „, moreover before , said that according to the kingdom regulation, we cannot calculate to plot a rebellion, only if you can find the solid evidence!” “那要多长时间？”舰湾伯爵不满道,“而且之前说了,按王国律法,我们并不能算谋反,除非你能找到确凿的证据！” „According to the speed of messenger, most one month,” Iron Axe smiled rarely, has disregarded the opposite party latter half a word words directly, „please feel relieved, your daily use with eat, I will provide according to the noble standard.” “按照信使的速度,最多一个月吧,”铁斧罕见地笑了笑,直接无视了对方的后半句话,“请放心,你们的日常所用与所吃,我都会按贵族标准提供的。” ...... …… Two days later night, Bear's Paw has crashed in the Iron Axe tent panic-stricken. 两天后的深夜,熊掌惊慌失措地冲进了铁斧的营帐。 „It is not good, Sir! The castle dungeon caught fire!” “不好了,大人！城堡地牢失火了！”
