InobtainsthisnewsafterGayathere, Rhodesdid not haveto sayanythingagain, on the contrary, hestartedto reorganize the manpowerquickly, prepared the followingmotion. Howeverbefore that he must first process, is the Johnmatter.莉蒂亚的召唤也表明罗德在云雾之巅要塞的任务已经彻底告一段落,他可以准备离开。而在从伽翎那里得到这个消息之后,罗德也没有再多说什么,相反,他很快就开始整顿人手,准备接下来的行动。不过在那之前,他首先要处理的,还是约翰的事情。According to the request of John, Rhodeshas releasedthese in the cavalry of capturedwith the Leiya'sfight, most peoplehave chosengoing home, butalsohadfewcavalriesto remain, theywere the Johnsubordinates, thereforehopes that cancontinueto treatinhisside. Regardingthis pointRhodesinlistening to the explanation of John, andinJohn ensure the loyalty of thesepeople, as well astheyafternorthern the prejudiceis not profound, Rhodesnodsto comply. After allasNoble, subordinate/handare impossibleto only havemercenarynot to have the privatesoldier.

Althoughsaid that souththeseperson of origin, considersin the north and south the currenttension, in the wish that theykeephas the moisture contentwhonot to know, so long astheycanremain, Rhodesnaturallysomeare the meansmakesthemintegrate.
按照约翰的要求,罗德释放了那些在和莉洁的战斗中被俘虏的骑兵,其中大部分人选择了回家,但是还有极少数的骑兵留了下来,他们是约翰的部下,因此希望能够继续待在他的身边。对于这一点罗德在听了约翰的说明,并且在约翰保证这些人的忠诚,以及他们对于北方的偏见并没有那么深刻之后,罗德还是点头答应了。毕竟自己作为一个贵族,手下不可能只有佣兵没有私兵。如果说步兵和弓箭手这一类的职业还可以从佣兵中去挖掘的话,那么骑兵可就是彻彻底底的军事职业,佣兵们大多不会骑术,也不会骑兵战术。养马可是个非常耗费金钱和精力的活儿,佣兵们挣的钱还都不够他们自己花的,怎么够养马?虽然说这些人出身南方,考虑到南北间目前的紧张关系,他们留下来的意愿之中有没有水分谁也不知道,但是只要他们能够留下来,罗德自然有的是办法让他们融入其中。Finally, 63cavalriesremained, thisdigitletsRhodesandJohnis satisfactory. 63cavalriesare not many, is not few. Buthadthese63cavalry soldiers'support, Johnhadin the qualification that sideRhodestakes root. IfRhodeswantsto get angrydoes not recognize peopleorrepudiates a debt, thenhe can also respondwith the aid ofstrength of thesepeople. Butis not the loner a helperdoes not have. ButregardingRhodes, the population of these63cavalriesinownmayin the control area, althoughtheirtotal numbers of peopleareMercenary Guildsubordinate/handabout one-fourth, but the singlestrengths of thesecavalries are also 20to25levelsover, thereforethey, ifhasanycleverthoughtto plan that at heartdoes the windto do the rain, oneself have enoughqualificationto tidy upthem.
最终,有63名骑兵留了下来,这个数字让罗德和约翰都非常满意。63名骑兵不算很多,也不算很少。而有了这63名骑兵的支持,约翰就有了在罗德身边扎根的本钱。如果罗德想要翻脸不认人或者赖账的话,那么他也可以借助这些人的力量来做出回应。而不是孤家寡人的连个帮手都没有。而对于罗德来说,这63个骑兵的人数在自己的可控制范围之内,虽然他们的总人数已经是自己佣兵公会手下的将近1,但是这些骑兵的单个实力也不过才是20到25级出头,所以就算他们如果心里有什么鬼念头打算搞风搞雨,自己也有足够的本钱收拾他们。Canlookfromthis point, so far, both sides mutuallyare guarding, RhodesbelievesJohn, buthethatdoes not trusthissubordinate. Talk of the town that hedoes not hopeoneselfFortressdo. Johnhas the similarsuspicionregarding the Rhodes'guarantee. Howevereven ifso, Johnalsohimpromised that will teachownsubordinatestrictly, as an outcomer of surrender, healsounderstands that ownstatusis not steady, althoughspoke ofso far, both sides have not constructed the faith the foundation. However after thisnotrepresentative, will not have , he Rhodesmustmake the initiativeindication, as the matter stands, theirrelationswill strengthen. ThereforeJohnguaranteedtoRhodes,ownsubordinate/handwill obeyhisorderabsolutely, will not betrayRhodes, will not cause trouble. Ifamongthemsomepeoplecause trouble, Rhodescanpull outto chopthemgreatly, oneselfdo not winkeyes!
从这一点就可以看出来,直到目前为止,双方都还是在互相提防,罗德相信约翰,但是他对于他的部下可不那么信任。他可不希望自己的要塞被人搞的满城风雨。约翰对于罗德的保证则还是持有同样的怀疑态度。不过即便如此,约翰也向他保证会严加管教自己的部下,作为一个投降的外来者,他也明白自己的地位不稳,虽然说到目前为止,双方都没有构建出信赖的基础。但是这并不代表以后也不会有,无论是他,还是罗德都必须要做出主动的表示,这样一来,他们的联系才会加强。于是约翰向罗德保证,自己的手下绝对会听从他的命令,不会背叛罗德,更不会去闹事。而如果他们当中有人闹事,罗德大可以把他们拉出去砍了,自己连眼睛都不眨一下!Butfacing the guarantee of John, Rhodeshas also made the response, hewill restrainoneselfsubordinatesimilarly, andas far as possibleachievesfairlyfairtreats everyone. HoweverRhodesafter all is a victor, hedoes not needlikeJohnand that's the end. ButrespondedregardingRhodes', Johnhas not protestedanythingagain, after allhewas also clearoneselfstatus.
而面对约翰的保证,罗德也做出了回应,他同样会约束自己的部下,并且尽可能的做到公正公平的对待每个人。不过罗德毕竟是胜利者,他没有必要像约翰那样就是了。而对于罗德的回应,约翰也没有再抗议什么,毕竟他也清楚自己的身份。ThesematterRhodeshave not been hiding the truth fromGeneralGarcia, butwhat is interesting is that thissloppyincomparablecommander, pretended unable to seesuperficiallyat this time, thensuchhundredcavalries, putin any casehas also put, thistimeGeneralDadethisbigfishhad been caughtbyhimin the hand, thenbled offthesesmall fishdoes not haveany———thatonlyto be restricted insoldier of troopLeiyacaptured, as for that 3000infantries who Dadeled, Garciawassaid that whatcannotbleed off.
这些事情罗德并没有瞒着加西亚将军,而有趣的是,这个表面上看起来邋遢无比的指挥官,这个时候也是装作看不见,反正就那么百来个骑兵而已,放了也就放了,这一次戴德将军这条大鱼已经被他抓在手里,那么把那些小鱼放走也没什么———不过那只限于莉洁所俘虏的骑兵队的士兵,至于戴德所率领的那3000步兵,加西亚是说什么也不能够放走的。Thisis not strange, thesecavalries who JohnleadsmostlyduringLeiya the ambush of directorfightshas received not the smallinjury, is the wounded soldiers, thesesoldierwill putnot to haveanymajorproblem. But3000infantries of GeneralDade are actually comply with the commander in chiefto order the initiativesurrender, onthemhas not injuredhas not gotten sick, ifthisputs, is equal to gives in vainto a Reformistinfantry regiment............Such the matter of idiot, Johnwill not raise, Garcianaturallywill not put.
这点并不奇怪,约翰所率领的那些骑兵大多都在莉洁所指挥的埋伏战之中受到过不小的伤害,都是伤兵,这些士兵就算放回去也不会有什么大问题。可是戴德将军的3000步兵却是遵从主帅命令主动投降的,他们身上可没伤没病,这要是放回去,那么就等同于又重新白送给改革派一个步兵团…………这么白痴的事情,约翰不会去提,加西亚自然也不会去放。Butaftertidying upthesematters, RhodesthenordersLeiyato bringpart of mercenaryto go toFrozen Lakefirst, completesto complete the preparatory work of second5-Star Rankquest. Butanotherpart of mercenaryare responsible fordeliveringto meetFortressthesewounded soldiersto convalesce. As forJohn, thisRhodesalsomakeshimfollowotherpeopleto go toFrozen Laketogether, after allin the futurehe must underoneselfleadership, throughthistimequest, makingJohnunderstandoneselfmode of operations and style, regardingeach other both sidesfollowingcooperation, alsohas the advantage.
而在收拾完这些事情之后,罗德便命令莉洁先带着一部分佣兵前往冰封之湖,做好完成第二个五星级任务的准备工作。而另外一部分佣兵则负责将那些伤兵送会要塞静养。至于约翰,这一次罗德也让他跟随其他人一起前往冰封之湖,毕竟日后他也要在自己的领导之下,通过这次的任务,让约翰了解一下自己的作战方式和风格,对于彼此双方接下来的合作,也是有好处的。Butafterreorganizingall these, Rhodesstartsaloneto go north, goes toGolden City.
而在整顿好这一切之后,罗德开始单身北上,前往黄金城。Regardinghim, the situation of northfrontlinehas come to the end.
对于他来说,北方前线的事态已经告一段落。Howeverregardingotherpeople, thismerelyis only a start.
但是对于另外一些人而言,这才不过仅仅只是个开始。Victory!!
胜利!!Standsin the city wall, self-satisfiedobserved the situation the presentwilderness, Bachsdeep in one's heartis fillingwas excitedandglorious. Helowered the head, looksto the hand the medal of honor and letterfromSouthern Parliament, in the surfacecan't help buthas shown the self-satisfiedandexcitedsmile.

站在城墙上,得意的环视着眼前的荒野,博克斯内心深处充满了兴奋与荣耀。他低下头去,重新望向手中来自南方议会的荣誉勋章和信件,面上不由的露出了得意而兴奋的微笑。事实上,就连博克斯自己都没有想到,他的作战计划居然会如此的顺利———利用两只边缘军团牵制繁花之原和云雾之巅要塞的兵力,而自己则亲自率领20000骑兵直冲荆棘花环要塞,他承认这个计划非常冒险,但是现在,他成功了!!Trivialonly then500people of Bramble WreathFortresssimplywith enough timehave not madeanyresponsethoroughlyto fall to the enemyunderhisimpact, butCalentesalsofell into theirhandsnow, thismadeBachsfeelunprecedentedsatisfactionimmediatelywith the honor. Hecanstandhere, seizesthislands, completelyisdepends uponhisstrength and plan! TheseNorthernerin the face of the offensive of hisas powerful as a thunderbolt, anythingdid not do!
区区只有500人的荆棘花环要塞在他的冲击之下根本没有来得及做出任何反应就彻底沦陷,而卡伦斯特现在也已经落入了他们的手中,这顿时让博克斯感到了前所未有的满足与荣誉。他能够站在这里,占领这片土地,完全都是依靠他自己的实力和计划!那些北方佬在他雷霆万钧的攻势面前,根本什么都做不了!Thinks ofhere, Bachshas gripped the letter in handexcitedly, inthisletter, Southern Parliamenthas commendedBachsvigorously, meanwhilehas awarded this medal of honor. Butinthisletter, Southern ParliamentalsorequestsBachs to protectCalentes, buttheywill requestto aidtoParliament of Lightwhilethisopportunity, makingthemmeddle. Ifallsmooth, then, theywill realizeoneselfdreambefore long, fleesfromthatcruelrulerhandthoroughly, but an establishmentbrand-newcountry!
想到这里,博克斯兴奋的握住了手中的信件,在这封信中,南方议会大力表彰了博克斯,同时还授予了他这枚荣誉勋章。而在这封信里,南方议会也要求博克斯务必守护住卡伦斯特,而他们则会趁这个机会向光之议会请求援助,使他们插手进来。如果一切顺利的话,那么过不了多久,他们就会实现自己的梦想,彻底从那个残暴的统治者手中逃离,而成立一个全新的国家!At that time, oneselfperhapsalsobecomeRegion Lord, evenis the hero in entirecountry, healsowill be awarded perhaps the marshalmilitary rank!
到那个时候,自己说不定还会成为一方领主,甚至是整个国家的英雄,说不定,他还会被授予元帅军衔!Thinks ofhere, Bachsthoughtownpresentskysuchblue, earthsuchgreen, allsointensely bright, brilliantmulti-colors. The sunlight on top of the headsobeautiful, thatwonderfulfuture, the close at hand, heconceivable the sceneafterreturnsouth, the innumerableflower petalshave dropped from the clouds, the peopleshouted loudlyoneselfname, the beautifulyoung girlsrushed to be firstdelivered the fresh flower and fragrantkissforhim, butheproudstoodas a victoron the carriage, accepted these people'stoowncheering and worship. Southern Parliamentthatcrowd of Noblealsotooneselfrespectful, theyline upto welcomeoneselfreturn, simultaneouslyoffersto represent the marshalqualificationsforoneself the long sword and badge.........Thinks ofhere, trembling of Bachscan't help but, subconsciousbitinglip.
想到这里,博克斯觉得自己眼前的天空这么的蓝,大地是这么的绿,一切都是如此的耀眼夺目,绚烂多彩。头顶上的阳光是如此的明媚,那美妙的未来,已经近在眼前,他已经可以想象自己在回到南方之后的情景了,无数的花瓣从天而降,民众们高呼自己的名字,美丽的少女们争先恐后的为他送上鲜花与香吻,而他则作为一个胜利者骄傲的站在马车上,接受这些民众对自己的欢呼与崇拜。南方议会的那群贵族也对自己毕恭毕敬,他们列队欢迎自己的回归,同时为自己奉上代表元帅资格的长剑与徽章………想到这里,博克斯不由的打了个颤,下意识的咬住嘴唇。Ifall thesecanto becometrue, thenmaytoobe happy!
如果这一切都能够成真的话,那么可就太美好了!Butatthis time, anxiousfootsteps sound, has interrupted the imagination of Bachs, thismadehimstareoneto the place that the soundsent outill-humoredly, then has turned around, but at the same time, messengergasping for airran the city wall, hiscomplexion pale, in the eyewas bringing the panic of not being able to say.
而就在这个时候,急切的脚步声响起,打断了博克斯的想象,这让他没好气的冲声音发出的地方瞪了一眼,接着这才转过身去,而就在与此同时,一个传令兵气喘呼呼的跑上了城墙,他面色苍白,眼中带着说不出来的恐慌。„Reported the general, wediscovered the enemyin the Ferales Wildernessdirection!”
“报告将军,我们在菲拉斯荒野方向发现敌军!”„Enemy?”
“敌军?”Hearsthisnews, in the Bachsheartsinks.
听到这个消息,博克斯心中一沉。„Somehow manypeople? Whoseflag that holds?”
“有多少人?打的谁的旗帜?”„IsnorthFifth Legion【Sword Wielding Lion】 The flag, the populationis at about 25,000people!”
“是北方第五军团【持剑雄狮】的旗帜,人数在25000人左右!”„25,000people?”
“25000人?”Hearsthisnews, the dumbfoundedness of Bachscan't help but.
听到这个消息,博克斯不由的目瞪口呆。
Is thispossible? Ferales WildernessfromCalentes Citynotfar, haven't 25,000people of armies, oneselfpossiblybeforehand the newsobtained? WhatReformistthatgroup of peopleare doing!? Theyhad not vowed solemnly that saidwhicharmyRoyalistso fardoes linkthistransfersnot to clear offclear/pain? Whocantellhim, whichcornerthese25,000people of do Northern Legionbravefrom?!
这怎么可能?菲拉斯荒野距离卡伦斯特城可没有多远啊,25000人的大军,自己怎么可能事先一点儿消息都没有得到?改革派那群人在搞什么!?他们不是一直信誓旦旦的说王党直到目前为止连该调动哪只军队都还没有理清楚吗?谁能够告诉他,这25000人的北方军团是从哪个旮旯里冒出来的?!Rice bucket of thatcrowd of having neither learning nor skill!!
那群不学无术的饭桶!!AftercursedSouthern Parliamentwickedly, Bachsquicklycalm, nowdiscussesthesenot to havewhatsignificanceagain. The opposite partyhas25,000people, but20,000people, althoughCalentes Cityslightlyis worn-out, butwantsuitablepatching, thenclings to tenaciously, thencandefend, so long asParliament of Lightcanprevent the furtheraction of Royalistthese days...............
在恶狠狠的咒骂了一顿南方议会之后,博克斯很快就冷静了下来,现在再谈论这些也没有什么意义。对方有25000人,但是自己有20000人,虽然卡伦斯特城略显破旧,不过自己只要适当的修补一下,然后进行死守,那么还是可以守住的,只要在这段时间里光之议会能够阻止王党的进一步行动的话……………thump thump thump!!咚咚咚!!
In Bachsracks brains, suddenlyis a rapidsound of footstepstransmits, then, anothermessengerrushed to the city wallhurriedly, heis even in an extremely difficult situation than the firstmessenger, sees onlythismessengergasping for air, streaming with sweat, evenstandscontinuallycannot come to a stop, even if, heis so rapidtoBachsgave a bow.
就在博克斯苦思冥想之时,忽然又是一阵急促的脚步声传来,接着,又一个传令兵匆匆忙忙的冲上了城墙,他甚至比第一个传令兵还要狼狈不堪,只见这个传令兵气喘呼呼,汗流浃背,甚至连站都站不稳,不过即便如此,他还是迅速向博克斯行了一礼。„Reported the general, ourscoutsin the Dagger Valleydirectiondiscovered that 20,000enemieswere building up! The requestinstructed!”
“报告将军,我们的探子在匕首谷方向发现20000敌军正在集结!请求指示!”„Clang.”
“铛。”
The honorbadge in Bachshandfellon the hardstone-madefloor, heis looking at the presentmessengerdull, opened the mouth, actuallycould not make the a long time/half of the daysound. A moment agointhatfantasybrightmagnificentfuture, was going far awaytohimrapidly, displaces, was gloomy, murky, is unable to resistjust like the stormdim.........博克斯手中的荣誉徽章掉落在了坚硬的石制地板上,他呆呆的望着眼前的传令兵,张开嘴巴,却是发不出半天声音。刚才那个幻想中光明辉煌的未来,正在迅速的离他远去,取而代之的,则是阴暗,昏沉,宛如暴风雨般无法抵挡的昏暗………Why.
为什么。WhyRoyalisthad such bigmovement, haven't oneselfreceived the least bitnews?
为什么王党有了这么大的动作,自己没有接到半点儿消息?
Are theirmotionssowhy rapid?
为什么他们的行动如此迅速?Theypossiblyin such a short timetransferthese manypeople, butwasn't discovered?
他们怎么可能在这么短的时间内调动这么多人而不被人发现?Why is this?!
这都是为什么?!
The wind in city wallmakesBachsshiver, thisrecovers, althoughthisgustis warm, butswaysonBachs, makesthisgeneralfeel that is coldjust like the severe winter. Histook a deep breath, forcingoneselfto calm down, thishas been issuing the ordertopresentsoldier.
城墙上的风让博克斯打了个冷颤,这才回过神来,虽然这阵风非常温暖,但是吹拂在博克斯身上,却让这位将军感觉到宛如严冬般寒冷。他深呼吸了口气,强迫自己冷静下来,这才对着眼前的士兵下达了命令。„Quick!! Immediatelysends forseeking the aidtoParliament, said that Calenteshas encounteredsurrounding of Royalist, weneedmanymanpoweraid! Quick, goesquickly!!”
“快!!立刻派人向议会寻求援助,就说卡伦斯特遭到了王党的包围,我们需要更多的人手援助!快,快去!!”
The messengersreceive an orderto leaveimmediately, butuntilthis time, Bachsthentook a deep breath, thenhelooksto the presentearth.
传令兵立刻领命离开,而直到这个时候,博克斯这才深深的呼吸了口气,接着他重新望向眼前的大地。Does not knowis the misconception, Bachsat this momentfeels an earthgloom.
不知道是不是错觉,此刻的博克斯感觉到大地一片暗淡。Thatprobablyis the prelude of storm, depressingis smothery.( To be continued
那就好像是暴风雨的前奏般,压抑的让人透不过气来。(未完待续
