#634: Defense line that extends

The chaos illusory sky is covering the color monotonous land, pulled out presented in the field of vision to the color scenery lacks the sense of depth the condition, exuded the strangeness of not being able saying that the breeze has been blowing, in the wind curled up the black dust in broken bits, in the dust seems to be hiding innumerable double peeping at Eyes Victoria stood, in this is flooding in the black and white two-colors world, always on the face of indifferent feel alienated also revealed surprised unavoidably. 混沌虚幻的天空笼罩着色彩单调的大地,抽离了颜色的景物在视野中呈现出缺乏层次感的状态,泛着说不出的诡异,微风吹过,风中卷起细碎的黑色尘埃,尘埃中似乎隐藏着无数双窥视的眼睛-维多利亚站在这个充斥着黑白双色的世界中,向来冷漠疏离的脸上也难免露出了一丝惊讶。 But for person who she brings the surprised feeling by her, a that character some active Half-Elf face happily stands there, black long hair as if mist and dust flutters in the air slightly, in the golden pupil brought smiling, the lower part to condense one group of not loose shadow fog, the whole person seemed changing to Shadow World Elf, fused with this black and white two-colors world to ingeniously one. 而为她带来惊讶感的人就在她旁边,那位性格有些过于活跃的半精灵正一脸得意地站在那里,一头黑色长发仿佛烟尘般在空气中微微飘动,金色的眸子中带着笑,下半身凝聚着一团不散的暗影云雾,整个人仿佛化作了暗影界的精灵,和这个黑白双色的世界巧妙地融合到了一起。 „...... The inconceivable strength,” Victoria calmly looked at Amber several seconds, acclaimed in a soft voice, „you were I have seen most powerful Shadow Master, no wonder Dark Crow will defeat in your hand twice. Duke Cecil hand/subordinate really no one is simple.” “……不可思议的力量,”维多利亚静静地看了琥珀几秒钟,轻声赞叹,“你是我见过的最强大的暗影大师,怪不得暗鸦会两次败在你手上。塞西尔公爵手下果然没有一个人是简单的。” „Many quarts two do not have the issue again, some ordinary rare people praised me,” Amber smiled complacently, „words saying that Dark Crow you mentioned I had the impression, was trampled twice that by me from Shadow World- had the opportunity you to urge him, was really not good practiced two-handed sword long-handled hammer anything, the say/way of shadow possibly did not suit him......” “再多夸两句也没问题,平常难得有人这么夸我,”琥珀得意洋洋地笑了起来,“话说你提到的那个暗鸦我有印象,被我从暗影界踹出去两次的那个是吧-有机会你得劝劝他,实在不行还是练个双手剑长柄锤什么的吧,暗影之道可能不适合他……” The familiar people know that Amber this opens mouth, once will start bb to change the subject quickly, basically few sentences will be meaningful, but Victoria too has not adapted to this Half-Elf rhythm obviously, a little dumbfounded, does not know how at the scene probably should continue this topic, but well in Amber bb will be by fits and starts, in a short time will unable to obtain to respond to her own to jump over the mentality- this Half-Elf moved a hands and feet, will catch the eye to look to distant place that half collapsing, will present piles up one on top of another condition strangely castle, using a criminal the tone that will prepare to commit a crime saying: „Do not waste the time, starting to work- that side should be the shadow of tulip fort shines.” 熟悉的人都知道琥珀这张嘴一旦开始bb就会很快跑题,基本上没有几句是有意义的,但维多利亚显然还不太适应这个半精灵的节奏,当场就有点愣神,大概是不知道该怎么把这个话题继续下去,但好在琥珀的bb都是一阵一阵的,短时间内得不到回应她自己就会把思路跳过去-这半精灵活动了一下手脚,抬眼看向远处那座半坍塌的、呈现出诡异堆叠状态的城堡,用一种犯罪分子准备作案的口气说道:“别浪费时间了,开始干活吧-那边应该就是郁金香堡的暗影映照。” Victoria raised the head, saw that castle of road/s end: The black and white two-colors fragment piles up one on top of another in the gray-black land, in the remnants of destroyed buildings can also see the castle wall that some can distinguish, in this strange confused Shadow World, the tulip fort that partly destroys presents the obvious chaos feeling, its portion structure seemed to have lost the material quality detail, another portion structure to violate the natural law the way to overlap and pile up, a painting of entire castle failure lost probably coordinated, only has, in addition complete Mage Tower and portion attached tower also sets up clearly behind castle. 维多利亚抬起头,看到了道路尽头的那座城堡:黑白双色的碎块堆叠在灰黑色的大地上,残垣断壁中还可以看到一些能分辨出来的城堡墙体,在这个诡异错乱的暗影界中,半毁的郁金香堡呈现出明显的混乱感,它的一部分结构似乎已经失去了材质细节,另一部分结构则以违背自然规律的方式互相重叠、堆积,整个城堡就好像一幅失败的画作般失去了协调,唯有尚且完好的法师塔和一部分附属塔楼还清晰地树立在城堡后部。 This is the first time that Victoria entered Shadow World- as frost mage, she is only restricted in some theoretical knowledge in the attainments on say/way of shadow, this mysterious strange world makes her open mind, makes her sigh side sets out this named „Amber” great strength of Half-Elf in shadow technique. She follows in Amber behind, depended upon the fast technique and wind the family technique and other magic spell in addition to hold to keep up with the footsteps of opposite party, simultaneously could not bear asks curiously: „Why do you follow Duke Cecil?” 这是维多利亚第一次进入暗影界-作为一个冰霜法师,她在暗影之道上的造诣仅限于一些理论知识,这个神秘诡异的世界让她开了眼界,也让她感叹起身旁这个名叫“琥珀”的半精灵在暗影技艺上的强大。她跟在琥珀身后,依靠迅捷术、风眷术等法术加持跟上了对方的脚步,同时忍不住好奇地问道:“你是为何追随塞西尔公爵的？” The fish that Amber as if enters the water is skicing in Shadow World generally, the black smog that the body coerces flies upwards in the air recklessly, after she hears the Victoria words, is slightly excessive, on the face has the smile of teasing: „What's wrong? To win over a popular actor from another company by offering higher pay?” 琥珀仿佛入水的鱼一般在暗影界疾行着,身上裹挟的黑色烟雾在空气中肆意飞扬,她听到维多利亚的话之后微微偏过头,脸上带着戏谑的笑容:“怎么？想挖角？” Victoria shakes the head seriously: „No, that is not the aristocrat behavior, if I really want to hire you, I will go to and Duke Cecil directly negotiate, sought information your opinion in the official situation. I now am curious.” 维多利亚郑重摇头:“不,那不是贵族所为,如果我真的想雇佣你,我会直接去和塞西尔公爵交涉,同时也在更正式的场合征询你的意见。我现在只是好奇而已。” „, Frank......, but the old steamed rice dumpling...... Gawain was different,” Amber smiled, „, if he wants to dig the talent, moreover is not possibly digs that type obviously through the talent who the upfront negotiation obtains, he will definitely lobby money buy public opinion drumming up support will of the people to win over various methods not to have need not in secret.” “啊,光明磊落……但老粽……高文就不一样了,”琥珀笑了起来,“如果他想挖人才,而且是挖那种明显就不可能通过正面交涉得到的人才,那他肯定会暗中游说金钱收买舆论造势人心拉拢各种手段无所不用。” Victoria felt again the topic somewhat does not go, can only shake the head: „...... Our styles are somewhat different.” 维多利亚再次感觉话题有些接不下去,只能摇了摇头:“……我们的行事风格有些不同。” „Therefore I am more suitable that side Gawain, does not suit in your type ‚legitimate’ side aristocrat,” Amber spoke thoughtlessly saying that „you did not ask why a moment ago I did follow Duke Cecil? Actually also has nothing, I dug his grave, then by the litigant was discovered gave to hold, actually I dug the grave to go to want at that time to hide.” “所以我还是更适合在高文那边,不适合在你这种‘正统’贵族身边,”琥珀随口说道,“你刚才不是问我为什么追随塞西尔公爵么？其实也没什么,我挖了他的坟,然后被当事人发现就给抓住了,其实我当时挖坟进去只是想躲一躲来着。” Victoria with astonishment looks at Amber, seemed confirming whether the opposite party is cracking a joke. 维多利亚惊愕地看着琥珀,仿佛是在确认对方是否在开玩笑。 „Can't believe? But also is really such matter,” Amber muddy do not care is saying, „actually I was deducted from the beginning also support am not glad, at that time what I thought is pretends to comply, then did not pay attention to steal his money while Gawain to run, however I discovered a matter afterward: Cannot be victorious, cannot really be victorious, moreover cannot run away, I have to stay behind. Facts showed that I decided is very right initially- the second year wages rose.” “不敢相信是吧？但还真是这么回事,”琥珀浑不在意地说着,“其实我一开始被扣下还挺不乐意的,我当时想的是假装答应,然后趁高文不注意偷了他的钱就跑,然而后来我发现一件事:打不过,真的打不过,而且还跑不掉,我就只好留下了。事实证明我当初的决定还挺对-第二年工钱就涨上来了。” Victoria is listening to all these unemotionally, the look that but flashes slightly actually showed that she does not seem like like the surface such calm faint, her profoundly looked at Amber one, exhausts possibly the gentle expression saying: „I never listen to some people to describe oneself giving loyalty to process to an aristocrat with this way, you............ are very special.” 维多利亚面无表情地听着这一切,但略略闪动的眼神却显示她并不像表面看起来这么冷静淡漠,她深深地看了琥珀一眼,用尽可能平和的措辞说道:“我从未听过有人用这种方式来描述自己对一个贵族的效忠经过,你……真的……很特别。” „...... Duchess, you made a mistake a matter,” Amber stopped at this time suddenly, is gazing at Victoria, „I have not given loyalty to what Duke Gawain Cecil, I have not given loyalty to any aristocrat and his bloodlines family.” “……女公爵,你搞错了一件事,”琥珀此时突然停了下来,注视着维多利亚,“我从没效忠过什么高文·塞西尔公爵,我没有效忠过任何一个贵族和他的血脉家族。” The Victoria faint expression was broken, her somewhat with astonishment looks at Amber. 维多利亚淡漠的表情被打破了,她有些惊愕地看着琥珀。 „I am not the aristocrat descendant, my extraordinary force half from the talent, half collaborate the execution from one by Church and aristocrat Thief, I have not naturally taken an oath the qualifications of giving loyalty to the aristocrat, because I do not have the surname, moreover I do not need this qualifications,” Amber is saying at a moderate pace, „ at first, Gawain gives me one month wages of gold coin, therefore I am responsible for this gold coin, afterward the wages rose, I to rise the wages are responsible, he established the Cecil city afterward, the integration the Kant area, he was used the work to buy freedom by serf, by. The civilians can walk in road/s, letting the merchant does not need to kowtow to Knight, I like all these, but my work maintains all these, therefore I start to be responsible for my work. “我不是什么贵族后裔,我的超凡力量一半源自天赋,一半来自一个被教会和贵族联手处死的盗贼,我自然也没有向贵族宣誓效忠的资格,因为我连姓氏都没有,而且我也不需要这种资格,”琥珀不紧不慢地说着,“起初,高文给我一个月一枚金币的工钱,所以我为这一枚金币负责,后来工钱涨了,我就为涨了的工钱负责,再后来他建立了塞西尔城,统合了康德地区,他让农奴用工作赎身,让平民可以走在道路中间,让商人不必给骑士磕头,我喜欢这一切,而我的工作就是维持这一切,所以我开始为我的工作负责。 „ Afterward, he founded the Cecil duchy, there, the citizens can study, can work, from the year before last to last year, the winter of Cecil city no one starved to death, therefore I gave loyalty, I in gave loyalty to the Cecil duchy at heart secretly. “再后来,他建立了塞西尔公国,在那里,公民们都能读书,都能工作,从前年到去年,塞西尔城的冬天没有一个人饿死,于是我效忠了,我在心里偷偷效忠了塞西尔公国。 „ Duchess, I am not an aristocrat, even if Gawain will give me in the future the noble title, I could not become the standard aristocrats in your group of rules probably forever. I have not given loyalty to Duke Cecil, has not given loyalty to Cecil Family, has not given loyalty to any so-called honored bloodlines and title, although I respect at present Cecil Family everyone, but that is only because they are worth respecting, but I do not give loyalty to them, they also never request me to give loyalty. “女公爵,我不是贵族,哪怕将来高文给了我个贵族头衔,大概我也永远成不了你们那堆条条框框里的标准贵族。我没有效忠塞西尔公爵,没有效忠塞西尔家族,没有效忠任何一个所谓尊贵的血脉和头衔,尽管我尊重目前塞西尔家族的每一个人,但那只是因为他们值得尊重,可我不效忠他们,他们也从未要求过我效忠。 Words that „ must speak, we only have a same giving loyalty to goal- we give loyalty, is thing that Gawain Cecil constructs, rather than he. “非要说的话,我们只有一个共同的效忠目标-我们效忠的,是高文·塞西尔建造起来的东西,而不是他本人。 „lady, if you cannot distinguish difference in this, that will fear us never to be a passer-by.” “女士,如果你分辨不出这之中的区别,那恐怕我们永远不会是一路人。” Victoria calmly looks at present Half-Elf, after entering Shadow World, this Miss Half-Elf changes as if is not only the makings, little character, these words that but she spoke...... might as well be she usually in the sincerity think. 维多利亚静静地看着眼前的半精灵,在进入暗影界之后,这位半精灵小姐发生改变的似乎不仅仅是气质,还有一点点性格,但她所说的那些话……未尝不是她平日里真心所想的。 „I will try hard to attempt to understand.” Victoria said calmly. “我会努力尝试理解的。”维多利亚平静地说道。 „That was your issue. To be honest, I support do not like the aristocrat, overwhelming majority does not like, but in my eye were also many recently two exceptions, one is you, one is to light Belk of beacon-fire,” Amber has turned around , to continue hurry on while said that „I once intuition resulted in the lofty virtue in aristocrat mouth to boast, but at least from you, I saw some actual things- on the other hand, Duchess, the individual cannot represent the whole, I still did not like the aristocrat.” “那就是你的问题了。说实话,我挺不喜欢贵族的,绝大部分都不喜欢,但最近我眼中又多了两个例外,一个是你,一个是点燃烽火的贝尔克,”琥珀转过身,一边继续赶路一边说道,“我曾经一直觉得贵族口中的高尚品德都是在吹嘘,但至少从你们身上,我看到了一些实际存在的东西-可是话又说回来,女公爵,个体不能代表整体,我仍然不喜欢贵族。” Victoria kept up with this Half-Elf footsteps again, she maintained some time silence, has not defended for the aristocrat system, has not as if had very deep prejudice Half-Elf to explain the significance of what bloodline inheritance to this to the aristocrat community at present, although she once cared to these things very much, however at this moment, she does not want to argue for these things unexpectedly. 维多利亚再次跟上了这位半精灵的脚步,她保持了一小段时间的沉默,既没有为贵族制度做辩护,也没有给眼前这个似乎对贵族群体抱持很深偏见的半精灵解释什么血统传承的意义,尽管她曾经对这些东西都很在意,然而此时此刻,她竟一点都不想为这些东西辩解。 After the silence, she asked a question: „Winter over the past two years, hasn't a Cecil city person really starved to death?” 在沉默之后,她只是问了个问题:“过去两年的冬天,塞西尔城真的一个人都没有饿死？” „Naturally, we have complete population statistics and Management system, the death and birth of each population were the registration are on record.” “当然,我们有完备的人口统计和管理制度,每一个人口的死亡和出生都是登记在案的。” „How...... do you accomplish? Without aristocrat system......” “……你们是怎么办到的？在没有贵族体系的情况下……” „Were you say the food supply or population Management?” “你是说粮食供应还是人口管理？” „Has.” “都有。” „, That must mention slowly,” Amber raised the head, looked at one already not too far collapsing castle, „since our perhaps should first starts to say from the land and person's relations......” “哦,那就要慢慢说起了,”琥珀抬起头,看了一眼已经不算太远的坍塌城堡,“我们或许应该先从土地和人的关系开始讲起……” ...... …… The Redmaple city northern plain, the Gorgon river bank, Gawain stands in the observation post of frontline camp, is gazing at the wharf direction busy scene. 红枫城北方平原,戈尔贡河畔,高文站在前线营地的一座瞭望台上,注视着码头方向繁忙的景象。 The fire and roaring flame scattered corrupt contamination on this piece of plain, Cecil legion successfully seized one once to belong to the local Feudal Lord large-scale wharf, after the transformation construction of nervous, the engineer troops is having in the foundation of wharf to expand the road surface old, reinforced the lithical trestle, making here turn into the temporary military wharf, at this moment the tank of orderly arrangements moved to these to reinforce the later trestle, the one by one complete equipment soldier square formation lines up to go on board. 炮火和烈焰驱散了这片平原上的腐化污染,塞西尔军团成功占领了一座曾经属于当地领主的大型码头,在紧张的改造施工之后,工兵部队在旧有码头的基础上拓宽了路面,加固了石质的栈桥,让这里变成了临时的军用码头,此刻正有一辆辆整齐排列的坦克驶向那些加固之后的栈桥,一个个全副武装的士兵方阵排队登船。 On the river surface of Gorgon river, three Cecil main force battleships are far away from the place execution screening mission of trestle, but the light gunboat that a series of transforms the guard gunboat or the rear shipyard that rushes a job with the civilian boat the contact on the broad river surface to walk back and forth, several decks are broad, the hull well organized firm ships paste in the trestle edge, loads soldier and tank who these are going on board. 戈尔贡河的河面上,三艘塞西尔主力战舰正在远离栈桥的地方执行警戒任务,而一系列用民船改造来的护卫炮艇或后方船厂赶工出来的轻型炮舰则在宽阔的河面上往来逡巡,又有数艘甲板宽阔、船体四平八稳的坚固船只贴在栈桥边缘,装载着那些登船的士兵和战车。 These do not seem like like the cargo vessel of warship transformation military goods ship that mixes from the rear area-, although said that was transforms military, but because the time was limited, they actually just increased some steel plates in the key place of hull, welded one set to protect the shield generator on the hull, as well as installed one set to be able with „The Pioneer” to establish the connection in the cabin the magic circuit terminal, even the basic armament system did not have( to increase armament system to mean that made large-scale transformation to power spine/ridge, but the capacity of shipyard that side insufficient), their safeties, completely relied on the warship of escort. 那些看上去一点都不像军舰的货运船只是从后方调配来的改造型军用货舰-尽管说是改造成了军用,但由于时间有限,它们其实只不过是在船壳的关键部位增加了一些钢板,在船体上焊了一套护盾发生器,以及在船舱里安装了一套能够和“开拓者号”建立连接的魔网终端而已,甚至连基本的武器系统都没有(要增加武器系统就意味着对动力脊进行大规模改造,而造船厂那边的产能不够),它们的安全,完全依赖于护航的军舰。 These „armor transports/fortunes ship” is the refugee who prepares to be used in shifting the northern area, at the beginning of the ground forces advance to the north then starts to transform, but when they transform finally completes, Gawain actually discovered that in Area contamination almost does not have many refugees to be for the shift, therefore these ships were then used to the frontline transport various commodity supplies, but today, they also welcome the new duty: Sets sail with the Cecil fleet together, full load tank and soldier go to the St. Sunil defense line, defends that important gateway. 这些“装甲强运舰”原本是准备用于转移北方地区的难民的,在地面部队向北方推进之初便开始进行改造,但等到它们终于改造完成的时候,高文却发现污染内几乎没有多少难民可供转移,于是这些船只便被用于向前线运输各类物资补给,而今天,它们又迎来了新的任务:与塞西尔舰队一同起航,满载战车和士兵前往圣苏尼尔防线,守住那座重要门户。 This in the army by way of Gorgon Hebei will only arrive in St. Sunil compared with the ground main force several days ahead of schedule. 这只经由戈尔贡河北上的部队将比地面主力提前数天抵达圣苏尼尔。 The sound of footsteps from transmits behind, Philip arrives in the observation post, salutes after Gawain said: „Steel and iron ranger already delivers to nearby Victoria Duchess and Amber the tulip fort, the soldiers measured with the eye to confirm that Mage Tower is truly still operating, if all goes well, the news will be escorted to St. Sunil today.” 脚步声从身后传来,菲利普来到瞭望台上,对高文行礼后说道:“钢铁游骑兵已经把维多利亚女公爵和琥珀送到郁金香堡附近,战士们目测确认了那座法师塔确实还在运行,如果一切顺利,消息将在今天被送往圣苏尼尔。” „Very good,” Gawain nods, „they came back, here should the shipment be also similar, happen to can go on board set off.” “很好,”高文点了点头,“等她们回来,这边应该也装船差不多了,正好可以登船出发。” Philip hesitated slightly, cannot bear repeatedly confirmed: „Do you really want to go together personally?” 菲利普略微犹豫了一下,忍不住再次确认:“您真的要亲自同往？” Gawain smiled: „I have arrived here, what walks points also to distinguish toward north again?” 高文笑了起来:“我都已经到这里了,再往北走一点又有什么区别？” „Duty that but this leading troops must carry out difficult and dangerous- to support Royal Capital as soon as possible, it must be separated from the ground main force, after arriving in St. Sunil, it at least needs to fight single-handedly for five days far away from the situation of depot support. In worst situation, St. Sunil before this leading troops arrive was broken through, as the matter stands the leading troops were equal to that was delivered to monster encirclement ring most deep place directly-, even if has The Pioneer and aurora and Morningstar two battleship shields evacuates, the army loses extremely will still be serious.” “但这支先头部队要执行的任务艰苦且危险-为了尽快支援王都,它要脱离地面主力,在抵达圣苏尼尔之后,它至少要在远离后方支援的情况下孤军奋战五天。最糟糕的情况下,圣苏尼尔会在这支先头部队抵达前被攻破,这样一来先头部队就等于直接被送到了怪物的包围圈最深处-即便有开拓者号和极光、晨星两艘战舰掩护撤离,部队损失也会极其惨重。” „Therefore it needs powerful ground Commander,” Gawain looked at Philip one, „you must keep following direction main force legion, that remaining was I.” “所以它更需要一个强有力的地面指挥官,”高文看了菲利普一眼,“你必须留在后面指挥主力军团,那剩下的就是我了。” „...... Truly so.” “……确实如此。” „I will first go to the St. Sunil organization defense line, the firepower support of three main force battleships, the north side cannot have problems,” Gawain patted the shoulder of Philip with a smile, „you only need to continue to defer to plan to advance well, the prepare coastal defense line, prevents west bank these monster further contamination, finally, we converge in St. Sunil- closes up this blockade line.” “我会先去圣苏尼尔组织防线,有三艘主力战舰的火力支援,北边出不了问题,”高文笑着拍了拍菲利普的肩膀,“你只需要继续按照计划推进就好,布置好沿岸防线,阻止那些怪物进一步污染西岸,最后,我们在圣苏尼尔汇合-合拢这条封锁线。” Then, his gently exhaled, said lightly: „But as for can Royal Capital fall to the enemy...... Victoria to believe that before that Baldwin and Wales can defend St. Sunil, I believe her one time.” 说完,他轻轻呼了口气,淡淡地说道:“而至于王都会不会在那之前沦陷……维多利亚坚信柏德文和威尔士可以把圣苏尼尔守下来,我就信她一次吧。” 『Joins the bookmark, easy reading』 『加入书签,方便阅读』
