经过两天的休养,维多利亚的状态显然已经恢复了许多,但一丝丝残留的虚弱疲惫仍然盘踞在她那努力掩饰过的眼底,高文看了这位北方女公爵一眼,提醒对方:“郁金香堡在污染深处,并且不在我们下一步的进攻计划内-在没有净化整个地区的情况下,索尼娅从那上空飞过是一回事,降落在那里就是另一回事了。”„Butis not implausible,”Victorianotmoves asideis gazing at the Gawain'seye, onherfacestilllacked the expressionto change, butin the tonewas disclosinghas made up mind, „thesemonstershave been at the hysterical/frenzyconditionnow, on the other handsince said that thismeans that theylost the organization sense, no longersupportedmutually, no longerhad the sentryand so onunit, no longerthatvigilant- wecansneak, withoutmaking the toobigmove, withoutalarmingtotoomanymonsters, Ihad the possibilityto deliverquietly the news.”
“但并不是没有可能,”维多利亚毫无躲闪地注视着高文的眼睛,她脸上仍然缺乏表情变化,但语气中透露着一股决意,“那些怪物现在已经处于狂乱状态,从另一方面讲,这意味着它们失去了组织性,不再相互支援,不再有哨兵之类的单位,也不再那么机警-我们可以潜入进去,只要没弄出太大的动静,没有惊动到太多怪物,我就有可能悄无声息地把消息送出去。”„...... Iacknowledged that thisas if there is achievepossibility, after”Gawainshortthinkingnods, „youconfirmed that cangopersonally?”
“……我承认这似乎存在实现的可能,”高文短暂思索之后点了点头,“不过你确认要亲自去?”„Not every magecanonlyrely on a Mage Towerincreaseto pass toSt. Sunil the news, thisneedsprofoundspell castingskillandhugemana,”Victoriasaidwith the indifferenttone of statementfact,„thismattermakesmegoissafest.”
“并不是每个法师都能仅凭借一座法师塔的增幅就把消息传到圣苏尼尔,这需要精深的施法技巧和庞大的魔力,”维多利亚用陈述事实的淡然语气说道,“这件事让我去是最稳妥的。”ThenbeforeGawainproposedmorequestions, thisDuchesscontinues saying: „ Iheard,Belk of Lorenlit the firstbeacon-fire.
接着在高文提出更多疑问之前,这位女公爵继续说道:“我听说,罗伦家的贝尔克点燃了第一座烽火。„Ihave not been ableachievehissuchmeritorious service, butasWilde FamilyFamily Head, Iat leastcannotavoid the matter that oneselfcanachieve.”
“我已无法实现他那样的功勋,但作为维尔德家族的家主,我至少不能回避自己本可以做到的事情。”When an aristocratattainsinownfamilyreputation/honorary the floor, usuallymeans that the willhas decided.
当一个贵族将自己的家族名誉都拿到台面上的时候,通常都意味着意志已决。„Wecantry, at leastthisis a plan,”Gawainnodsfinally, „a little, we, ifwantssafermeansto deliver totulipfortyou- the bearing pressure of greateagleis limited, Sonia can only guide, without the meansleadsyouto flytogether, but the Griffinflight altitude and speedare unsatisfactory, afterpenetrating Area contaminationis very easyto be shot downbycrystal cluster giant, generally speaking, was unsafefrom the in the airpast.”
“我们可以试一试,至少这是个方案,”高文最终点了点头,“不过有一点,我们要想个更安全的办法把你送到郁金香堡-巨鹰的承重力有限,索尼娅只能带路,没办法带着你一起飞行,而狮鹫的飞行高度和速度都不佳,在深入污染之后很容易被晶簇巨人击落,总体来看,从空中过去并不安全。”„Does that have safermeans?”In the Victoriatonehasonepuzzled- fromin the aircrosses Area contaminationto descendin the tulipfortalready the most possibleachieveplan that isshecanthink, shereallycannot think that alsowhatmeanshasthisto be safer, can'tfrombeing found in the crystal cluster giantgroundhits?
“那还有更安全的办法么?”维多利亚语气中有一丝困惑-从空中越过污染降落在郁金香堡里已经是她能想到的最可能实现的方案,她实在想不到还有什么办法可以比这更稳妥,总不能从遍布晶簇巨人的地面上一路打进去吧?Gawainshows a faint smile, the line of sightfellonAmber......高文微微一笑,视线就落在了琥珀身上……Startlesall of a sudden that Miss Half-Elfstartsto smileinGawaininstantaneously, onconscioustothismatterfeared that cannot hide, shecurls the lip: „WalksShadow Worldactuallymeans- beforehand explained that I have the consumptionin the Shadow Worldaction, thisdepends oncanmeet the unstableshadowcreviceas well asawfully‚bigcavity’, ifon the roadlosesoversized, Imay notleadtotulipfortthatfarplace- I must considerstrength that the return tripneeds.”半精灵小姐在高文开始微笑的瞬间就激灵一下子,紧接着就意识到这件事怕是躲不过去的,她撇了撇嘴:“走暗影界倒是个办法-不过事先说明啊,我在暗影界行动也是有消耗的,这取决于中间会不会遇上不稳定的暗影裂隙以及要命的‘大空洞’,如果路上损耗过大,我不一定能把人带到郁金香堡那么远的地方-我还得考虑返程所需的力气。”„Naturally, youcando everything possiblewell,”Gawainnods, „Iwill send an armor sweeparmyto deliveryouapproach the place of tulipfortas far as possible, lateryousneakto report the news, at the same time, Iwill send a crack forcefull speedto go forwardto the St. Sunil Citydirection, mustnot waste the tiny bittime.”
“当然,你能尽力而为就好,”高文点了点头,“我会派一支装甲突击部队把你们送到尽可能靠近郁金香堡的地方,随后你们潜入进去发消息,与此同时,我会派一支劲旅全速向圣苏尼尔城的方向前进,务必不浪费一丝一毫的时间。”
The detail of plan decided that the person who accepted the orderquicklysuccessivelyleft the room, finally, in the roomonlyleft behindGawainandVictoriatwo people.
方案的细节很快敲定,接受命令的人陆陆续续离开了房间,最终,屋内只留下了高文和维多利亚两人。„Saidhonestly, the presentsituationis not wonderful,”after is only left overNorthern RegionDukeat present, Gawainat a moderate pacesaid,„ItoSt. Sunilwhethercandefendis always pessimistic- direction that althoughItowardhave been ableto rush topromptlydiligently.”
“坦白说,现在的局势非常不妙,”在眼前只剩下一个北境公爵之后,高文才不紧不慢地说道,“我对圣苏尼尔是否能守住始终持悲观态度-尽管我一直在朝着能及时赶到的方向努力。”
The expression on Victoriafacehas no change, butcalmlyasked: „......, ifSt. Sunilreallycannot defend, you have the follow-up program, yes?”维多利亚脸上的表情没什么变化,只是静静地问道:“……如果圣苏尼尔真的守不住,您还有后续方案,是么?”„...... Nothing butisgives up the entirenorthern areaandHoly Spirit Plain, guaranteesSouthern RegionandEastern Region, andas far as possiblebeforecontaminationentersWestern Regionconstructs the Western Regiondefense line,”Gawainhas not concealedoneselfthesealternative plans the alternative plans, „survivalpressurewill maketheseareasobey the newruleorder, butIhaveself-confidentlyafterconstructing the newdefense linestabilize the situation, andgraduallyrecapturestheseby the contaminationarea.”
“……无非是放弃整个北方地区和圣灵平原,保下南境和东境,并尽可能地在污染进入西境之前构筑西境防线,”高文没有隐瞒自己那些备选方案的备选方案,“生存压力会让这些地区服从新的统治秩序,而我有自信在构筑新防线之后稳住局势,并逐渐夺回那些被污染的地区。”Victoriasilentmoment, finallycannot bearsay: „Soundsyouraristocratsto the Kingdombasicallynot to holdanythingto expect.”维多利亚沉默了片刻,终于忍不住说道:“听上去您对王国的贵族们基本上不抱什么期望。”Gawainsmiles, asked back: „Sounds, is yourexpectationveryhigh?”高文笑了笑,反问道:“听上去,你的期望还挺高?”„...... I acknowledged that Itotheirexpectationsalreadynotseveralyears ago was so high,”Victoriasaidslowly, „, butI believe that St. Sunil Citycandefend-, so long as the news of reinforcementscanfeed inSilver Castlepromptly.”
“……我承认,我对他们的期望已经不像几年前那么高了,”维多利亚慢慢说道,“但我相信,圣苏尼尔城是可以守住的-只要援军的消息能及时送进白银堡。”Gawainshows the expression that has a relish: „Can Ilisten toyourself-confidentorigin?”高文露出饶有兴致的表情:“我能听听你的自信来源么?”„Baldwin FranklinGrand Duke, Wales Mowen,”Victoriais gazing at the Gawain'seye, saidespeciallyearnestly,„theywill defendthatcity- how longreinforcementsneed, how longtheywill defend.”
“柏德文·法兰克林大公,还有威尔士·摩恩,”维多利亚注视着高文的眼睛,格外认真地说道,“他们会守住那座城-援军需要多久,他们就会守多久。”„...... You the appraisaltoWales Mowencompared withhigh that Iimagine.”
“……你对威尔士·摩恩的评价比我想象的高。”„Myoncedutywasto monitorhim, thereforeIunderstoodhim, Prince Walesneverlacked the talent, hechose the retreaton own initiative, but if the Kingdomneed, hewill stand,”Victoria said that „, butbesideshim, besidesGrand Duke Baldwin, someRoyal Capitalalsomanyreliablepeople, wehadCromwellBaishan (White Mountain)Count, hadloyalroyal familyKnight Corps, hadCommanderCohen LorenperhapsRoyal Capitalhadhalf ofaristocratsto thinkabandoned the cityto escape, butat leastalsohadhalf, will chooseto defendfinally.”
“我曾经的任务就是监视他,所以我了解他,威尔士王子从来不缺乏才干,他只是主动选择了后退而已,但如果王国需要,他还是会站出来,”维多利亚说道,“而除了他,除了柏德文大公,王都还有很多可靠的人,我们有克伦威尔・白山伯爵,有忠诚的王室骑士团,有科恩·罗伦团长-或许王都有一半的贵族都想着弃城逃跑,但至少还有一半,会选择守到最后。”Gawaincalmlylooks atVictoria, latteralsocalmlylooks athe, after twoseconds of looking at each other, that„snow and iceGrand Duchess”shouted the tonegently.高文静静地看着维多利亚,后者也静静地看着他,两秒钟的对视之后,那位“冰雪女大公”轻轻地呼了口气。„Iknow that our generationdisappointyou, Duke Cecil, the perhapsAinzpresent agearistocrathas really corrupted, butpleasebelieve, not everyone was rotten, still many peoplewere anticipatingthisKingdomcanbuoy up, andmakes the effortfor this reason.”
“我知道我们这一代人让您很失望,塞西尔公爵,或许安苏当代的贵族真的已经腐烂,但请您相信,并不是每一个人都烂了,仍然有许多人在期待着这个王国能够重新振作,并为此付出努力。”„IncludingEdmund MowenandSilas Loren?”
“包括埃德蒙·摩恩和塞拉斯·罗伦么?”„...... Includingthem.”
“……包括他们。”„Buttheywere defeated, youwere also defeated, Royal Capitalmanyenterprisingfactions, inyourmouththesehave not rotted, wantedto promotethisKingdomaristocratsto be defeateddiligently, youthink why theywere defeated?”Gawainis staring at the eye of Victoria, „becausemerelyhasAll Things Finally Die Societyto come to bothersuddenly?”
“但他们还是失败了,你也失败了,王都许许多多的进取派,你口中那些没有烂掉的,努力想要振兴这个王国的贵族们都失败了,你认为他们是为什么失败的?”高文盯着维多利亚的眼睛,“仅仅因为有个万物终亡会突然进来搅局么?”
The gazefromFounding Dukehas the indescribablepressure, thatdark browneyeis profoundandsharp, is more than northernwind and snow and hillsunexpectedly, Victoriacould not bearturn very quiet- manyyears, wasshedeters others bydignified, she had almost forgottenwasanythingfeltfacingsuchshock and awe, amongabsent-minded, sheas ifreturnedunexpectedly for manyyears ago, returning toherto be small the time, returned tobefore the generation of Dukeseverelookstime.
来自开国公爵的注视带着难以言喻的压力,那双深褐色的眼睛深邃而锐利,竟远甚于北方的风雪和群山,维多利亚忍不住屏住了呼吸-许多年了,都是她以威严来震慑旁人,她几乎已经忘记了面对这样的震慑是种什么感觉,恍惚间,她竟仿佛回到了多年以前,回到了她小的时候,回到了面对前代公爵严厉眼神的时候。
The father in memoryis pointing in the garden the growing trendbadvegetation, asked her question: „Ifprunes, applies fertilizer, watering, uses/givesmedicineno matteruses, howyoushoulddo?”
记忆中的父亲指着庭院中长势糟糕的草木,问了她一个问题:“如果修剪,施肥,浇水,施药都不管用,你该怎么做?”Recollectionfragment of flashing pastround tripin a hurry, Victoriarecovers, at present was still the Gawainprofoundsharpeye.
一闪而过的回忆片段来去匆匆,维多利亚回过神来,眼前仍然是高文深邃锐利的眼睛。„Actuallyyouknow the answer,”Gawainsaid,„youare just involuntary.”
“其实你是知道答案的,”高文说道,“只不过你身不由己。”Victoriasilentbyright.维多利亚沉默以对。„Weshould notdiscusstheseatthis time,”Gawaintakes back the line of sight, tradessitting posture that quiterelaxed, „Victoria, youare very outstanding, even ifplaces a PioneerDaly, you can still be an outstandingaristocrat, afterthiswarended, wecanconsiderhowslowlyshouldpromotethiscountry, butbefore then, ourmostimportantdutyendedthiswar.”
“我们不该在这个时候讨论这些,”高文收回视线,换了个较为放松的坐姿,“维多利亚,你很优秀,即使放在开拓者一代里,你也会是个优秀的贵族,在这场战争结束之后,我们可以慢慢考虑该怎么重新振兴这个国家,但在此之前,我们最重要的任务还是结束这场战争。”„Such asyou said that”Victoriagently exhaled, then the looklowers the headslightlyobviouslyseriously, „in any event, yousavedmeandmountainous regionlegion, Iam unable to repaythisbenevolence, thereforeno matterfrom now onhasanything, at leastIcanbeyourfaithfulally.”
“如您所言,”维多利亚轻轻呼了口气,接着神色稍显郑重地低下头,“无论如何,您拯救了我和山地军团,我无法偿还这份恩情,所以今后不管发生什么,至少我个人都会是您的忠实盟友。”
In after the room is only left over itself, Gawaincould not bear by the chairback, silentshouted the tone.
等到房间里只剩下自己之后,高文忍不住靠在了椅背上,无声地呼了口气。„Individualname...... is really whois not easy.”
“个人名义啊……真是谁都不容易。”

一声感叹之后,他坐直了身子,准备开始拟定一份可行的主力部队北上计划-情势急转直下,已经容不得他再按照之前的时间表行动,考虑到圣苏尼尔城作为门户堡垒的重要性,他必须以比原计划更快的速度把一批可战之兵送到北方。
The civilfreighters after usingthesetransformations, use the Gorgonriver, perhapsis a goodplan......
利用那些改造之后的民用货船,利用戈尔贡河,或许是个好方案……Whenhisplanjustdrew up the opening, placed the magic circuitcommunication terminal on deskto send outonesuddenlyhumming sound the sound.
而在他的计划刚刚拟定出开头的时候,放在书桌上的魔网通讯终端突然发出了一阵嗡嗡声。Gawainlooks uprecognitioncharacter that hologramprojectedpresents- came from the specialchannel of Cecilcity.高文抬头看了一眼全息投影上呈现出的识别字符-是来自塞西尔城的特殊频道。
The magic circuitterminalwas activatedimmediately, after the projectionvibratesshortly, Gawainsaw that the Hettyfacial featuresappearinoneselfat present.魔网终端随即被激活,在投影短暂抖动之后,高文看到赫蒂的面容出现在自己眼前。„Whathad?”
“发生了什么?”„MissTyrsaid that has the important matterto contact.”Hettysaidsimply, thenleanedBodyGawaintosidethensaw that a longsnaketailis rockingin the Hettybehindpicturebackground, thatsnaketailarchedtwo, the Tyre'supper partshookcenter the picturefrom the picture.
“提尔小姐说有要事联络。”赫蒂简单说了一句,便向旁边侧开了身子-高文这才看到有一条长长的蛇尾巴正在赫蒂身后的画面背景中晃动,那蛇尾巴拱了两下,提尔的上半身从画面一侧晃悠到了画面正中。„Ifelt,”MissSirenis staring the looks atpresenthologramprojection, „wasfoodaura! Suddenlybecomesverystrong!”
“我又感觉到了,”海妖小姐瞪着眼睛看着眼前的全息投影,“是食物的气息!突然变得很浓烈!”InGawainheartimmediatelyonetight-, althoughheis prepared the expectationand in thisaspect, but when Tyremitsthisnewssuddenly, hefeltoneselfnerveties tight: „Position, the intensity, can youbasicallydetermine the situationor the condition of goal?”高文心中顿时一紧-尽管他早已有了这方面的预料和准备,但当提尔突然冒出这条消息的时候,他还是感觉自己的神经紧绷起来:“方位,强度,你能大致确定目标的情况或状态么?”„Positionshouldin the Holy Spirit Plaineastdeep place, but the exact locationinduction is not quite clear, itwas also suppressedorblockedby anything probably, eitherin the placebottomdeep place,”Tyris sayingfast, „as for the intensity...... I do not know how shoulddescribe, the feelingis very subtle. Itshouldbe‚living’, this pointcompared withbigsquid, butitsaurais unstable, is impure, probablymanychaosaurafusedone, andwas sometimes strong and sometimes weak.”
“方位应该是在圣灵平原东部深处,但具体位置还感应不太清楚,它好像还被什么东西压制或封锁着,要么就是在地底深处,”提尔飞快地说着,“至于强度……我不知道该怎么形容,感觉很微妙。它应该是‘活’了,这一点比大鱿鱼强,但它的气息并不稳定,也不纯粹,就好像是很多混乱的气息融合到了一起,而且还时强时弱。”Gawaininspiresgently.高文轻轻吸了口气。Is that in the All Things Finally Die Societyhandgrasps„Godsstrength”? Is they are used formakesAbomination, to activateAbomination„energy storage”? Did thisenergy storagelose the control? Is somesimilarGodsthingregaining consciousness?
是万物终亡会手中掌握的那份“神明力量”么?是他们用来制造神孽、激活神孽的“能量源”?这个能量源失去了控制?某种类似神明的东西正在苏醒?Thereforecrystal clusterlegionsuddenmutationwiththisout-of-control„Godsstrength”related?
所以晶簇军团突然的异变和这个失控的“神明力量”有关?
The speculationswell up, Gawainis controllingowntrain of thought that inquirypresentSiren: „Whatattitude are yourqueens?”
种种猜想涌上心头,高文控制着自己的思绪,询问眼前的海妖:“你们的女王是什么态度?”„Shehad the interest in the smallbiscuitandyourarcaneenergytechnology, is willingto provide the assistance, that sidealreadyinpreparationelementwarp jumptower, buthow the concerted action must decidespecificallyagain,Tyrshooktail tip, serioussaid, „ moreoverImustconvey the WordsSiren ofqueen can only helpyoucope with‚inhumanthing’, will not meddlein the Human Raceinternalwar, wehope that thiscooperationcontrolspurely, thiswill be the future can also maintain the guarantee of long-term collaboration.”
“她对小饼干和你们的奥术能源技术都产生了兴趣,愿意提供协助,那边已经在准备元素折跃塔,但具体如何配合行动还要再商定,提尔晃了晃尾巴尖,一脸严肃地说道,“另外我要代为转达女王陛下的话-海妖只能帮你们对付‘非人之物’,不会插手到人类内部的战争中,我们希望这次合作是纯粹而节制的,这是今后还能维持长期合作的保证。”„Thisis enough,”Gawainnodssincerely, „thankedyourassistance.”
“这已经足够了,”高文诚心实意地点了点头,“非常感谢你们的协助。”„Does not needto care, offers mutual benefit and achieves common progress,”Tyrbeckons with the handwithtail tip, laterleft the communicationpictureswayingly, onlyhas the soundto transmitfrom the picture, „how your do close? Youclose, Ifirstwalked.”
“无须在意,互惠互利,”提尔摆了摆手和尾巴尖,随后晃晃悠悠地离开了通讯画面,仅有声音从画面外传来,“你们这个怎么关的?哦,那你来关吧,我先走了。”
After twoseconds, Hettyreappearsin front ofGawain: „Ancestor, dispatchedEngineering Team of wastelandedgeto start the return trip, the Wall of Magnificenceenlargedprojecthad finishedsmoothly.”
两秒钟后,赫蒂重新出现在高文面前:“先祖,派往废土边缘的工程队伍已经开始返程,宏伟之墙的增补工程已顺利结束。”„Finallyhas a goodnews,”Gawainbreathes a sigh of reliefgently, „is very good, makingthesepersonnelfirstfullyrest, laterarrangesthemto constructtwophases of tank arsenals and ordnance factories, makingthatElfSorcerergo to the magic energytechnologyresearch institute, assistanceRebeccacompletes the translation and optimizedwork of antigravityrune.”
“总算有个好消息,”高文轻轻舒了口气,“很好,让这些人员先充分休息,随后安排他们去建设二期坦克工厂和兵工厂,让那位精灵魔导师去魔能技术研究所,协助瑞贝卡完成反重力符文的转译和优化工作。”„Yes.”
“是。”
