#430: They came

Fort Boulder, inner city district, one team of armor bright Knight and soldiers are dressing ranks pass through the broad town street, sky over this team, the Holy Spirit Plain Pompeii Count flag flutters in the midair, on the flag golden red embroidery is exuding the striking brilliance under the sunlight, is magnificent and lordly. 磐石要塞,内城区,一队盔甲鲜亮的骑士和士兵正在整队走过宽阔的城镇街道,在这支队伍上空,圣灵平原庞贝伯爵的旗帜飘扬在半空,旗帜上金红色的绣线在阳光下泛着醒目的光彩,华丽又气派。 Sir Maryland stands in the city wall in inner city district, overlooks that army to line up in formation advance look, long time later said in a soft voice: „This perhaps was the last batch of aid that we can count on.” 马里兰爵士站在内城区的城墙上,俯视着那支军队列队前进的模样,良久之后才轻声说道:“这恐怕是我们能指望的最后一批援助了。” „Always does not compare,” stands in Sir Maryland Carol Viscount sinking sound said, „Pompeii Count is knows eventually, once this fortress were broken through then means anything.” “总比没有强,”站在马里兰爵士身旁的卡洛尔子爵沉声说道,“庞贝伯爵终究是知道一旦这座要塞被攻破便意味着什么的。” The team of entering a city is not that Knight brigade that royal family sends, but is the Pompeii Count private army, the appearance of this army, means that Count Lord the news that from spread recently unceasingly felt finally the urgency of situation, made the resolution. 进城的队伍并不是王室派来的那一支骑士大队,而是庞贝伯爵的私人军队,这只军队的出现,也就意味着那位伯爵大人终于从最近不断传来的消息中感觉到了局势的紧迫,做出了决断。 Edge of Fort Boulder situated in Pompeii Count Territory place, from nominally, the fortress land is the Pompeii family, but in fact this fortress by the royal family positive governing, in the soldier including fortress also all gives loyalty to King directly, fortress peripheral also has own village, mine and mill, Pompeii Count has no duty that provides for or supports to this fortress, but is very obvious, that Count is very clear, once fortress were hit by Cecil Family, his Feudal Territory will be in imminent danger. 磐石要塞位于庞贝伯爵领地的边缘,从名义上,要塞所处的土地是属于庞贝家族所有的,但实际上这座要塞由王室直接控制,包括要塞内的军人也全都直接效忠于国王,要塞周边还有自己的农庄、矿场、磨坊,庞贝伯爵对这座要塞没有任何供养或支援的义务,但很显然,那位伯爵很清楚一旦要塞被塞西尔家族打下来了,他的领地就会岌岌可危。 „Ancestor does not follow regulations or system handed down by the royal ancestors” the news has spread in the South aristocrat who in fortress sought asylum through these, Pompeii Count cannot guarantee after the Cecil army overcame Fort Boulder, will stop the footsteps, cannot guarantee that overcame the fortress Cecil army to be able first in peripheral to grab wantonly, to make up the war to lose-, although at the beginning, he as if believes that Cecilian did not have the means with Fort Boulder, therefore the meanings of some quite rest easy, but with an effort of Sir Maryland, he sent out oneself army to support here eventually, but this only team, was the only reinforcements that Sir Maryland can draw. “老祖宗不遵循祖制”的消息早已通过那些在要塞里避难的南方贵族传扬出去,庞贝伯爵不敢保证塞西尔军队打下磐石要塞之后就会停下脚步,更不敢保证打下要塞的塞西尔军队会不会首先在周边大肆劫掠,以弥补战争损耗-虽然在最初的时候,他似乎坚信塞西尔人拿磐石要塞没办法,所以颇有些高枕无忧的意思,但在马里兰爵士的一番努力下,他终究还是派出了自己的军队来支援这里,而这只队伍,也是马里兰爵士能拉来的仅有的援军了。 „These can display many combat power in the Lord soldier who Holy Spirit Plain has a high and respected position are completely an unknown,” Sir Maryland sighed, „such that but such as you said that always did not compare- these people at least can operate the trebuchet, or hid behind the wall launches the bow and arrow.” “这些在圣灵平原养尊处优的老爷兵能发挥出多少战斗力完全是个未知数,”马里兰爵士叹了口气,“但就如你说的那样,总比没有强-这些人至少可以去操纵一下投石机,或者躲在墙后面发射弓箭。” Carol Viscount hesitant, finally could not bear ask: „What recent news did South recently have?” 卡洛尔子爵犹豫了一下,最后还是没忍住问道:“南方最近有什么新消息么？” „I sent three groups of scouts, camouflages the merchant and hunting household, only then a group of people come back,” Sir Maryland the surface sinks the water saying that „the present can only determine Cecilian is dispatching troops toward here, but the south situation cannot inquire completely......” “我派了三批探子,伪装成商人和猎户,只有一批人回来,”马里兰爵士面沉似水地说道,“现在只能确定塞西尔人正往这边派兵,但更南边的情况完全打探不到……” „They have not really given up......” in the Carol Viscount heart sinking, „they will come sooner or later.” “他们果然没有放弃……”卡洛尔子爵心中一沉,“他们迟早会来的。” looks at at present a face grey defeat, even brings Carol Viscount of faint trace frightened look, Sir Maryland can only sigh in the heart reluctantly secretly. 看着眼前一脸灰败,甚至带着丝丝恐惧神色的卡洛尔子爵,马里兰爵士只能无奈地在心中暗自叹息。 He has certainly the big confidence to the fortress that oneself guard, in the South aristocrat mouth that although he seeks asylum from these heard the fearful story about Cecil army, he also has confidence to oneself fortress- in his opinion, these South aristocrats were really scared, the terrifying impression of enemy already infinite magnify in their hearts, Sir Maryland is people who have experienced many battlefields, he quite knew about the person of this scared out of one's wits, after the filtration falls in these aristocrat words these overstating element, he had not been given to daunt by the Cecil army. 他对自己驻守的这座要塞有着绝大的信心,尽管他从这些避难的南方贵族口中听到了许多关于塞西尔军队的可怕故事,他也还是对自己的要塞有信心-在他看来,这些南方贵族实在是被吓破了胆,以至于敌人的恐怖印象已经在他们心中无限放大,马里兰爵士是个经历过很多战场的人,他对这种吓破胆的人相当了解,所以在过滤掉这些贵族话语中那些夸大的成分之后,他并没有被塞西尔军队给吓住。 But this does not mean that he will treat it lightly to the threat that will soon face. 但这并不意味着他就会对即将面对的威胁掉以轻心。 Cecilian not like the South aristocrats describe „just like deity”, but also absolutely is not the strength that can despise, facing the threatening Cecil army, Fort Boulder will certainly experience one to struggle hard, according to the deduction of Sir Maryland, Cecilian „Skyfire Explosion” in a short time should unable to break through fortress magic barrier, but the fortress garrison troops have no means to repel these to start continuously magic attack Cecilian in the remote distance. 塞西尔人不会像南方贵族们描述的那样“宛若天神”,但也绝对不是一股可以轻视的力量,面对来势汹汹的塞西尔军队,磐石要塞必将经历一番苦战,根据马里兰爵士的推演,塞西尔人的“天火爆炸”在短时间内应该无法攻破要塞的魔法屏障,但要塞的守军也没有任何办法能够打退那些可以在遥远距离发动连续魔法攻击的塞西尔人。 This battle should evolve a prolonged attack, or with a more depressing view- is Cecilian conducts long-term bombing to Fort Boulder unilaterally, but the Fort Boulder garrison troops will be hard to initiate an attack. 这场战斗应该会演变成一场旷日持久的对攻,或者用更令人沮丧的说法-是塞西尔人单方面地对磐石要塞进行长时间的轰炸,而磐石要塞的守军将难以主动出击。 Sir Maryland does not fear about lasting difficult battle, he is truly anxious, is aspect that present Fort Boulder is isolated and cuts off from help, is this country the situation of constantly deteriorating. 马里兰爵士对持久的艰苦战斗并不恐惧,他真正忧虑的,是现在磐石要塞孤立无援的局面,是这个国家正在不断恶化的局势。 So long as a situation day of this deterioration has not changed for the better, how long no matter that Fort Boulder can insist, finally must unable to insist. 只要这种恶化的局势一天没有好转,那么不管磐石要塞能坚持多久,最终都是要坚持不下去的。 He patted the shoulder of Carol Viscount: „Goes back, we need to relax, drink two glasses of liquor to alleviate our nerve.” 他拍了拍卡洛尔子爵的肩膀:“回去吧,我们需要放松放松,喝两杯酒缓解一下自己的神经。” They left the city wall, went to the hall of fortress Area castle. 他们离开了城墙,来到了要塞城堡的大厅里。 Just opened the door of hall, Sir Maryland then saw that Mario Orlan Viscount of wear loose sleeping robe is carrying one glass of wines to stand in the business hall, the bleary eyes in the maidservant with hall shoots the breeze dimly, but in side not far away then Kansec Viscount that walked back and forth, on the latter face full was anxious, since the complexion judged, he drank perhaps also many. 刚一推开大厅的门,马里兰爵士便看到穿着一身宽松睡袍的马里奥兰子爵正端着一杯葡萄酒站在大厅中央,醉眼朦胧地跟大厅里的侍女高谈阔论,而在旁边不远处便是正走来走去的康思科子爵,后者脸上满是焦虑,而且从脸色判断,他喝的恐怕也不少。 „! Knight! Friend of mine Carol Viscount,” Mario Orlan saw pushes person who the gate comes, immediately holds up the wine glass to say loudly, „salutes to you- you really should taste this.” “哦！爵士！还有我的朋友卡洛尔子爵,”马里奥兰看到了推门进来的人,顿时举起酒杯高声说道,“向你们致敬-你们真该尝尝这个。” „Orlan, you drank,” Carol knit the brows slightly, looks at this in recent several days of even more manner improper people, in the tone quite somewhat had no alternative, „how, moreover did you wear the sleeping robe in the hall?” “奥兰,你喝多了,”卡洛尔略略皱眉,看着这个在最近几天越发举止失当的人,语气中颇有些无可奈何,“而且你怎么在大厅里穿着睡袍？” „This is in castle, in castle any place can wear the sleeping robe......” Mario Orlan to smile, „felt relieved, my sober very......” “这是城堡内,城堡内任何地方都可以穿睡袍……”马里奥兰笑了起来,“放心,我清醒的很……” Kansec Viscount walked, bypasses already a little consciousness unclear Mario Orlan directly, in his eye proliferates the anxious look, long time the hyperemia that drinks wine to cause excessively: „Knight, has South......” 康思科子爵走了过来,径直绕过已经有点神志不清的马里奥兰,他的眼睛里遍布愁容,还有多日饮酒过量导致的充血:“爵士,有南方的……” Sir Maryland did not wait for the opposite party saying that then beckoned with the hand: „Does not have the news.” 马里兰爵士不等对方说完便摆摆手:“没有好消息。” Carol Viscount disappointedly looks at present two friends- abandons oneself to Bohemianism, depressed low, aristocrat calm and dignified has almost vanished from them. 卡洛尔子爵失望地看着眼前的两位朋友-一个放浪形骸,一个消沉低迷,贵族的沉稳和体面几乎已经从他们身上消失殆尽了。 Not only these two friends, where flee from calamity in other aristocrats to fortress almost each one very to go from South together. 不只是这两位朋友,一同从南方逃难到要塞里的其他贵族们几乎个个都好不到哪去。 These Viscount and barons gather in the banquet hall, or drills the bar and brothel in city, spends freely wealth that on each one is only remaining, is consuming the good for nothing energy, eats and drinks extravagantly to indulge in dissipation, almost cannot see a meaning of intention hope. 这些子爵、男爵们聚集在宴会厅里,或者钻在城内的酒吧和娼寮中,挥霍着各自身上仅剩的钱财,消耗着毫无价值的精力,大吃大喝花天酒地,几乎完全看不出一点心怀希望的意思。 Thinks of here, he then cannot help but raised the head, looks for somebody in the hall, quick, the Lopenny Glen Viscountess that slightly a little thin form then appears in his line of sight. 想到这里,他便不由得抬起头,在大厅里寻找起某个人,很快,罗佩妮葛兰女子爵那略有点消瘦的身影便出现在他的视线中。 Viscountess is only calmly sits in a corner, is talking in a low voice anything with own Knight, although on her face also has the faint anxiety, but that calm look is really and others is entirely different. 女子爵只是静静地坐在一个角落,与自己的一位骑士低声交谈着什么,虽然她脸上同样有着隐隐的焦虑,但那副沉稳的模样真是和别人截然不同。 In, such situation also falls on Sir Maryland in long time the eye, in this high level Knight looks at hall the situations of other aristocrats, could not bear shake the head muttered one in a low voice: „Might as well a widow......” 多日里,这样的情况也落在马里兰爵士眼中,这位高阶骑士看着大厅里其他贵族的情况,忍不住摇着头低声咕哝了一句:“还不如一个寡妇……” Heard muttering of Knight in nearby Carol Viscount, actually without hearing clearly, but he just wants to ask, saw the gate of hall was shoved open again. 在旁边的卡洛尔子爵听到了爵士的咕哝,却没听清,但他刚想开口询问,就看到大厅的门再一次被人推开了。 Knight that puts on the armor runs in the hall hurriedly, the impact noise all of a sudden reverberation of steel boots and ground in the hall, nearby person is in abundance peaceful, and brings Knight that surprised uncertain vision looks at this is running suddenly. 一位穿着铠甲的骑士匆匆忙忙跑进大厅,钢铁靴子和地面的撞击声一下子回荡在厅里,附近的人纷纷安静下来,并带着惊疑不定的眼光看着这个突然跑进来的骑士。 „General! General!” Knight called out loudly while runs up to front of Sir Maryland, „city external young group of fleeing from calamity people- they say from the Glen area!” “将军！将军！”骑士一边高声叫道一边跑到马里兰爵士面前,“城外来了一小批逃难的人-他们自称是从葛兰地区来的！” Glen area? 葛兰地区？ The South aristocrats in hall subconsciously looked immediately to Lopenny Glen Viscountess that sat in the corner, but in their lines of sight, that Viscountess also all of a sudden raised the head, stood with astonished look looks at in Sir Maryland front Knight. 大厅里的南方贵族们顿时下意识地望向了坐在角落的罗佩妮葛兰女子爵,而在他们的视线中,那位女子爵也一下子抬起头来,用惊愕的眼神看着站在马里兰爵士面前的骑士。 Sir Maryland watches this, later turns the head to look to notifying Knight: „Where are they at?” 马里兰爵士把这一幕看在眼里,随后转头看向报信的骑士:“他们在哪？” „In the outer wall following barracks,” Knight replied, „we have not made them enter a city-, moreover had one team of soldier looks at.” “在外墙下面的兵营里,”骑士回答道,“我们没让他们进城-而且有一队士兵看着。” Sir Maryland slightly cannot check nods: This is the necessary discretion. 马里兰爵士微不可查地点了点头:这是必要的谨慎。 Cecilian has blockaded the South area obviously, at least in Fort Boulder to the Southern Region middle intermediate area, is the blockade line of Cecilian arrangement, the experienced scouts who in fortress send is unable to break through this blockade line everywhere, at this kind of time also the person who can escape from the South area......, no matter how looked that is very suspicious. 塞西尔人显然已经封锁了南方地区,至少在磐石要塞到南境中间的缓冲地带里,已经到处都是塞西尔人布置的封锁线,要塞里派出去的有经验的探子都无法突破这层封锁线,在这种时候还能从南方地区逃出来的人……不管怎么看都十分可疑。 „Leads them to the Lord hall,” Sir Maryland makes the decision quickly, then and looked in the hall already South aristocrats eyes that gathers gradually, „ladies and gentlemen, I invited everyone to go we can obtain the South explicit news finally.” “把他们带到主厅,”马里兰爵士很快做出决定,并回头看了大厅里已经渐渐聚拢过来的南方贵族们一眼,“女士先生们,我邀请每个人都去-或许我们终于能得到南方的明确消息了。” Quick, Sir Maryland and South aristocrats then went to the Lord hall of Area castle, shortly after they enter the hall and takes a seat in the stage, a squad soldier then leads the person who several, are scarred in rags to walk. 很快,马里兰爵士和南方贵族们便来到了城堡的主厅,而在他们进入大厅、在高台上落座之后不久,一小队士兵便带着几个衣衫褴褛、伤痕累累的人走了进来。 That several people underwent a tribulation obviously, their clothing is tattered, the whole body sully, the cut and bruised, distressed stance made the South aristocrats unable to bear remember itself in some time ago look, Sir Maryland also sighed secretly, later made noise to ask: „Who are you? Do you lead from Glen?” 那几个人显然经历了一场磨难,他们衣衫破烂,满身脏污,遍体鳞伤,狼狈的姿态让现场的南方贵族们忍不住想起了自己在不久前的模样,马里兰爵士也暗暗叹息了一声,随后出声问道:“你们是什么人？你们是从葛兰领来的？” That several person in rags mostly brings terrified nervous look, only the person stands in the center is maintaining calm, that is the big middle-aged man, he does not seem to heard the words of Sir Maryland still to rotate the head, seems like looking for anyone in the hall, finally his line of sight fell on the body of Lopenny Glen Viscountess, this middle-aged person turns toward Viscountess to bow immediately, in the sound brings sobbing: „Mistress, I finally saw you!” 那几个衣衫褴褛的人大多带着惶恐紧张的模样,唯有一个人站在中央保持着镇定,那是个高大的中年男人,他仿佛没有听到马里兰爵士的话般兀自转动着脑袋,似乎是在大厅中寻找着什么人,最后他的视线落在了罗佩妮葛兰女子爵的身上,这个中年人立刻向着女子爵鞠躬到底,声音中带着哽咽:“女主人,我终于见到您了！” Lopenny Glen also recognized the present person, she stands from oneself seat, has the incredible tone: „This is my steward!” 罗佩妮葛兰也认出了眼前的人,她从自己的座位上站起来,带着不可置信的语气:“这是我的管家！” „lady, did you determine?” Sir Maryland somewhat suspected that looked at that in rags, over the face sully middle-aged person, „is really he your steward?” “女士,您确定？”马里兰爵士有些怀疑地看了那个衣衫褴褛、满面脏污的中年人一眼,“他真是您的管家？” „I can certainly determine,” Lopenny Glen responds immediately, she is taking a fast look around everyone, „I have not drunk liquor!” “我当然可以确定,”罗佩妮葛兰立刻回应,她扫视着现场每一个人,“我可没有喝一口酒！” „Good, I understood,” Sir Maryland nods, looks to standing in the stair following middle-aged man, „steward mister, can you bring the South news?!” “好吧,我明白了,”马里兰爵士点点头,看向站在台阶下面的中年男人,“管家先生,你可带来了南方的消息？！” „They came! The mistresses, Lord, Cecilian came!” The stewards bring painful look, in the tone to be full of said frightened, „they have seized Glen castle, but also seized Kansec and Carol area, they must come toward here!” “他们来了！女主人,还有诸位大人们,塞西尔人来了！”管家带着痛苦的模样,语气中饱含恐惧地说道,“他们已经占领了葛兰城堡,还占领了康思科、卡洛尔地区,他们就要往这边来了！”
