虽然作为黑暗森林延伸入文明世界的一部分,但熊人森林本身并不大,尤其是四座伐木场所在的这片山林,横穿也不过只需要一天或者半天而已。Is calledHorseshoe Grass Saw Millbysituated in the westmostsaw mill that Brandoseizes, the news that itfalls to the enemyspread over the entireforestwithbeing defeated and dispersedTroglodytein several hours.
被布兰多夺下的位于最西面的锯木厂叫做马蹄草锯木厂,它失陷的消息随着溃散的穴居人在数个小时之间就传遍了整个森林。for a moment, Troglodyte in mountain foreststarts becomes ready to make trouble-一时间,山林之中的穴居人开始变得蠢蠢欲动起来-Butat the same time the newsalsopassed certainly to the Tribe Leaderear of thisTroglodyteclan and tribe.

而同时消息当然也传到了这支穴居人部族的族长耳中。塔吉卜出身于穴居人十三支高贵的血统之中的一支,因此成为天生的巫医之选-它的肤色比穴居人之中精锐的勇士还要更深一些,浑身披着长长的羽毛-那是恐鹫的羽毛,来自于与地下世界的黑暗精灵作战的战利品。Butat this momentitsitson the bearskinthrone, actuallyhas no interest in handlethesebeautifulfeathers. Ituses the tall and slenderfingerto strokeon a wooden clubto insert the skeleton head of feathersimilarly, is somewhat agitated.
但此刻它坐在熊皮王座上,却无心去打理这些美丽的羽毛。它用细长的手指抚摸着一根木棍上同样插着羽毛的骷髅头,有些烦躁。Itsfiveyears ago becomes the leader of thisclan and tribe, frompaternalclan and tribe***comes out. However in competingto belong to the one's ownterritoryto meettroublesome, has tolead the clansmanroutinelyto move. Thisis not rarein the undergroundworld, whathoweveris accidental/surprisedwastheydiscovered a pathtoground.
它五年前就成为了这支部族的领袖,从父系的部族之中***出来。不过在争夺属于自己的领地时遇到了麻烦,不得不带着族人习惯性地进行迁徙。这在地下世界并非罕见,然而意外的是它们发现了其中一条通往地面的道路而已。Although the surfaceworld in hearsayregardingTajivis far from a paradise, butitdecidesto takerisk a time, itto the one's ownclansmenafteradapted to the life of groundworldshortly, startsto discover that during herehumanas ifmight as wellimaginefearful, thereforetheycapturedinfourlumbering areassituated inthisforestimmediately.
虽然对于塔吉卜来说传闻之中的地表世界远非乐土,但它还是决定冒一次险,它与自己的族人们在短暂地适应了地面世界的生活之后,开始发现这里的人类似乎并不如想象之中可怕,因此它们随即夺取了位于这片森林之中的四座伐木场。Butthisbehaviorthereforebrought in the localThane'sanger, naturally, thatisBaron Grudin. HumanandTroglodytelaunch the fightin the foresttwice, but the army and nobleprivatesoldier of Trentheimgood and evil intermingledat allare nottheseTroglodyteopponents, humanhas not takenwhatadvantageto drive out.
但这个行为因而引来了当地领主的怒火,当然,那是格鲁丁男爵。人类与穴居人两次在森林之中展开战斗,不过托尼格尔良莠不齐的军队与贵族私兵根本不是这些穴居人的对手,人类没有占到什么便宜就被赶了出去。FinallyGrudinevenhas tolag behind the facial skin, comespersonallywithitspeace talks. Troglodytenot the lumber that needsin the forestto produce, butGrudinactuallyhas no alternative butto need, Trentheimis supporting the lumbersupply of Ampere Searl, ifhas problemsishispowerfulFatherCount of Radnor who must firstaskhimto trouble.
最后格鲁丁甚至不得不拉下脸皮,亲自前来与它和谈。穴居人不需要森林里出产的木材,但格鲁丁却不能不需要,托尼格尔支撑着安培瑟尔的木材供应,万一出了问题第一个要找他麻烦的就是他位高权重的父亲-让德内尔伯爵。Therefore the debtturns over to the debt, butGrudinactuallymustfind the wayto guaranteeTrentheimoneyear of basiclumbervolume of exports. Fir City the output near of fourlumbering areasrank among the bestinentireTrentheim, hedoes not dareeasilyto give up, butalsodoes not have the meansdependencemilitary forceto recapture-, moreoverthismattercannotmakeCount of Radnorknow-, therefore the remainingonlymeansareto depend upon the method of business.
因此亏空归亏空,但格鲁丁却必须想办法保证托尼格尔一年的基本木材出口量。冷杉城附近的四座伐木场的产量在整个托尼格尔都数一数二的,他不敢轻易放弃,但又没有办法依靠武力夺回-况且这件事情更不能让让德内尔伯爵知道-因此剩下的唯一办法就是依靠买卖的手段。AlthoughThanemustbuysin the territoryproducethisunexpectedlysoundssomewhatunthinkable, butalsohas the silver oreonGrudinwell, silverin the undergroundworldsameis the importantcurrency, Tajivjustneedmanymoneyto comeexpands the one's ownclan and tribe, thereforeboth sidesfit in easily, thisunknowntransactionhas retainedin private.
虽然一个领主竟然要花钱来购买自己领地上的出产这听起来有些匪夷所思,但好在格鲁丁手上还有银矿,白银在地下世界一样是重要的流通货币,塔吉卜正需要更多的钱来壮大自己的部族,因此双方一拍即合,这种私下不为人知的交易就此一直保留下来。Tajivappreciatessuchtransactionvery much, althoughinpreviouslygained the victorywithfightTroglodyte of humanmore than once, evenmakesGrudinhave tolag behind the face, butthiscannotconceal his clan and tribepersonscarcefact. The battle efficiencies of several thousandBlack Ironlevelssoundfearful, howeverthis is actually itsclan's and tribe'scompletepopulation-塔吉卜很欣赏这样的交易,虽然在此前与人类的战斗穴居人不止一次取得胜利,甚至让格鲁丁都不得不拉下脸面,可是这并不能掩盖他的部族人丁稀少的事实。数千黑铁级的战斗力听起来可怕,然而这却是它部族全部的人口-ButTajivis very intelligent, itknew the human worldreal situationthrough the unceasingcontactgradually. Althoughpossiblycannot discoveroneto expeltheirarmiesinTrentheimwith ease, iftheyappearin the territory of humanrashlysamedo not ask.
而塔吉卜很聪明,它通过不断的接触渐渐了解到了自己所处的这个人类世界的真实情况。虽然在托尼格尔可能找不出一支可以轻松赶走它们的军队,可是如果它们贸然出现在人类的领地上一样讨不到好。Mustknow that isFir Tree Baronylivesmerelyscatteredis being close to70,000population, not to mentionentireTrentheim. Let aloneprobablytheirsuchalien race, iflaunches the attackto the living area of humanrashly, perhapswill bring inattack in broaderrange.
要知道仅仅是冷杉男爵领就零零散散地居住着接近七万人口,更不用说整个托尼格尔。何况像是它们这样的异族,如果贸然对人类的聚居点展开攻击,说不定会引来更广范围上的攻击。Itknows that thisplacesubordinatesin a country, butnationalconceptthisundergroundstate in the TajivmindandGorgon Ravineisequates, thismakesitsomewhatdread.
它知道这个地方隶属于一个国家,而国家这个概念在塔吉卜的脑海里与乔根底冈这个地下国度是划上等号的,这让它有些畏惧。Thereforeeven if clearlyknowssilver oreonGrudin, ithas not daredeasilyto seize. Thisconditionmakesitverysatisfiedat presentin any case, it only need firmlycontrolthesethreelumbering areas, canobtainfromcontinuoussilveronthathumanThane- bythesesilveritcan the expansionone's owntribe, untilone daybe ableto return towillfullyunderground.
因此纵使是明知道在格鲁丁手上还有一座银矿,它也不敢轻易去占领。反正目前这个状态让它很满意,它只需牢牢控制住这三座伐木场,就能获得来自于那个人类领主手上源源不断的白银-凭借这些白银它能任意扩张自己的部落,直到有一天能够重新返回地下。In the Tajivheart, returns to the firstgoal in undergrounditsheart. AlthoughTrentheimgreedy, butafter all is nottheirTroglodytedomain.
在塔吉卜心中,返回地下还是它心中的第一目标。托尼格尔虽然让人眼馋,但毕竟不是它们穴居人的地盘。As if but meddlesomeis not long, on this daythisSirTribe Leaderfeltoneselfencountered the toughproblem.
可是似乎好事不长,这一天这位族长大人就感到自己遇到了棘手的麻烦。
After adapting to the stablelife, itbecomesdoes not likeopening the outbreak of warwithhumanlightly, particularly the development of clan and tribejustcansee a goodpotential statetime. Becausebattlesinevitablyto bring to the attention of surroundinginfluencewithhuman, itis notwantsto existto exposeone's ownnowvery much, butitmorethinks,troublesomewill actually more seem like itselfto walk in- looked like the frontnewsto transmitin the afternoon, tellshimhumanto killforestonce again-
适应了安定的生活之后,它就变得不太喜欢与人类轻启战端,尤其是部族的发展刚刚才可以看到一个好的势态的时候。因为与人类交战就势必引起周围势力的注意,它现在并不是很希望将自己的存在暴露出去,可它越是这么想,麻烦却越像是自己找上门来-就像是这天下午前方一个消息传来,告诉他人类又一次杀进了森林-Butthis timehumannot onlyseizinggot down a lumbering area, at leastalsokilledinitsclan and tribe more than 100clansmen.
而这一次人类不但夺下了一座伐木场,至少还杀了它的部族之中一百多个族人。HeardthisnewsTajivon the violent anger, itorderedmember that in the clancanfightto assembleat the same time, on the one handactuallyinsteadbecamecalms downto startto inquire the news of opposite party.
一听到这个消息塔吉卜就暴怒了,它一方面命令族内可以战斗的成员集结起来,一方面却反而变得冷静下来开始打探对方的消息。
The frontunfavorable situationmakesthisdiscreteintelligentTroglodytewitch doctorcareful, itcallshere the one's owntrusted aides, tolisten tomoreopinions.
前方的失利让这位谨慎聪明的穴居人巫医变得小心起来,它把自己的心腹都召集这里,就是为了听一听更多的意见。Firstwhatopens the mouthisoldTroglodyte that is throwing over the bearskin, naturallyon the vision of human, Troglodyteso-calledoldnothing butwasbecomeshunched backandon a four limbsalsofrailerslendernessandbodyto cover entirely the whitestripe.
首先开口的是一个披着熊皮的年长的穴居人,当然就人类的眼光来看,穴居人所谓的年长无非是变得更加佝偻、四肢也更加脆弱纤细、身体上布满了白色的条纹。ThisoldTroglodyteis called‚corner/hornclaw’, naturallymostTroglodytedo not have the name, butthisnameisTajivgrantsit; The corner/hornclawisGorgon Ravineunderground one name of twofootparallelundergroundlizards, theyare one of the undergroundthe world'smost famousHunter, actingto be thoroughandeffective, tobe famousslyly.
这个老穴居人叫做‘角爪’,当然大多数穴居人是没有名字的,而这个名字是塔吉卜赐予它的;角爪是乔根底冈地下的一种两足并行的地下蜥蜴的名称,它们是地下世界最著名的猎手之一,行动周密而有效,又以狡猾著称。TajivgrantsthisnametooldTroglodyte, tocommenditsquick-wittedandample experience. Butin factoldTroglodyterebels and fleesfrom an oppositionclan and tribe, Troglodytedoes not havehumanthisnotmattertwomainConceptsUndergroundcreaturetakes the powerhouseasto revere, turns toanotherclan and tribefrom a clan and tribeis very commonbehavior.塔吉卜赐予这个名字给老穴居人,就是为了称赞它的机智与经验丰富。但事实上老穴居人是从一个对立部族叛逃过来的,穴居人没有人类这样不事二主的概念-地底生物以强者为尊,从一个部族投靠另一个部族是很常见的行为。Let alone‚corner/hornclaw’ample experienceis experienced, thereforeopens the mouthto have the weight/quantityin the Tajivclan and tribevery much.
何况‘角爪’经验丰富而老练,因此在塔吉卜的部族之中开口很有分量。„Heard the clansmandescription that front draws back, inhumanshouldhavewizard,”oldTroglodytesaid,„is the silenttechnique, when the undergroundfight, Dark Elfcommonly usedthiscopes withus. What a pityweinfrontline less witch doctors, otherwisewas certainly insufficient dead so manyclansmen.”
“听说前面退下来的族人描述,人类里应该有巫师,”老穴居人说道,“是沉默术,在地下战斗时,黑暗精灵常用这一手来对付我们。可惜我们在前线没有更多的巫医,不然一定不至于死去那么多族人。”„How manypeople do theyhave?”Tajivasked.
“他们有多少人?”塔吉卜问。„200-300.”
“200-300。”„Only200-300,”TroglodyteTribe Leadersaidgloomy,„thathumannamedGrudin was really tired of living, thinks that madeMercenarylook forourtroubles, don't Idareto movehim?”Itsaidbitterly,„wefirstsolveMercenary that theseact recklessly, thenkillsthatnonsenseThane, Idid not planandhimpolite- southsilver orealsoseized.”
“区区200-300,”穴居人族长阴沉地说,“那个叫做格鲁丁的人类真是活腻了,以为让佣兵来找我们的麻烦,我就不敢动他?”它恨恨地说道,“我们先解决这些不知死活的佣兵,然后再去干掉那个狗屁领主,我也不打算和他客气了-南面的银矿也占领好了。”„The words that does that”corner/hornclawreplied, „will trigger the reaction of human.”
“这么做的话,”角爪答道,“会引起人类的反弹吧。”„it doesn't matter, theytransferrequire the time. Whenwesnatchonein the silver ore, when the time comesreturnsundergroundis, Ilooked that theydo dareto pursue.”Tajivdisdainreplied.
“没关系,他们调动需要时间。等我们在银矿抢一笔,到时候退回地下就是,我就看他们敢不敢追上来。”塔吉卜不屑地答道。Severalelders in roomused the uniquesound waveto exchange a viewmutually. „HowthenthesehumanMercenarycansolve?”AnotherTroglodyteasked.
屋子里的几个长老互相用自己独特的音波交换了一下意见。“那么那些人类佣兵要怎么解决?”另一个穴居人问道。„Igo into actionpersonally,”Tajivreplied, „trivialmagic.”
“我亲自出马,”塔吉卜答道,“区区魔法而已。”Itstands saying: „Tonight, Iwantthesehumanonenot to remainpay the price of bloodforourclansmen!”Tajivsharpvoicereverberationinroom, butseveralTroglodyteelderslower the head, had not opposed.
它站起来说道:“今天晚上,我就要那些人类一个不剩地为我们的族人付出血的代价!”塔吉卜尖锐的嗓音回荡在屋子里,而几个穴居人长老低下头,并没有反对。
It looks like inthem, thesehumanindeedsomewhatact recklessly.
在它们看来,那些人类的确是有些不知死活。News that becausedeliberatelylets outunlikeTajiv, in factat this momentcoexiststo live in more than 3000Troglodytein the Bearfolkforest, in the face ofthishugestrength, even if the entireTrentheimarmyassemblesinalsoinsufficientlyto looktogether. NaturallyperhapsbehindTrentheimalsohas the Count of Radnorlead(er), Aouine.
因为与塔吉卜刻意放出去的消息不同,事实上此刻在熊人森林之中一共居住着三千多穴居人,在这股庞大的力量面前,纵使是整个托尼格尔的军队集结在一起也不够看的。当然或许托尼格尔背后还有让德内尔伯爵领,还有埃鲁因。Tajiv is very but clear, Grudinis impossiblein such a short time a newsnot to discloseto transferoutsidearmy.
可是塔吉卜很明白,格鲁丁不可能在那么短时间内一点消息也不走漏地将外面的军队调动进来。NowinFir Cityhas, Mercenary that alsoonly thenpreviouslygathered. Thisbeforethem the news obtained does not havetwoto send, it seems likeGrudinindeedagitatedmercenaryto cope withthem.
现在冷杉城内有的,也只有此前聚集起来的佣兵而已。这与它们之前得到的消息一无二致,看来格鲁丁的确是鼓动了雇佣兵来对付它们。Butfellow, ifthinksthisto be ableshaketheyin the foundation of thisplace, will then certainly pay the pricefor this reason.
可是那家伙若以为这就能动摇它们在此地的根基,那么一定会为此付出代价。HoweverTajivhow, regardless of unable to guess correctly, Grudinhas paid the price. OnlyfortheirtheseTroglodyte, butat this momentstandsintheirfrontenemies, is theirequallysimilarlyfamiliarone's ownBrando.
不过塔吉卜无论如何也猜不到的是,格鲁丁早就已经付出代价了。只是不是为了它们这些穴居人而已,而此刻站在它们面前的敌人,是和它们一样同样熟悉自己的布兰多。Thisfighttrendfrom the beginningchanged the direction.
这场战斗从一开始的走向就改变了方向。
......
……
The fight in Horseshoe Grasslumbering areawas very earlyended, turning out in full strengthTroglodyte is some old, weak, sick, and disabled in the campstaying behind, was incapable ofresistingradically.马蹄草伐木场内的战斗很早就结束了,倾巢而出的穴居人在营地内留下的不过是一些老弱病残,根本无力抵挡。But, mercenaries since is so competing forin the fight of lumbering areato put inthisfightevenfinally the most seriousprice. Over30injured, tendead.
可即便如此,佣兵们还是在最后争夺伐木场的战斗中付出了这场战斗以来最惨重的代价。超过三十人受伤,十人死亡。Jutta, FernandKalunafterare finally determining the victoryactuallyinsteadsighed in relief. Theysee the person of life and deathdistinction, thiscasualtieshave somewhat been unexpectedin fact. No, shouldsay that is a miracle, if not fortakes advantage ofBrandoregardingfamiliar of theseundergroundresidents, theydo not say that onlypays such littleprice, evenwinsis an expectation.尤塔、弗恩与克伦希亚在最终确定胜局之后却反而松了一口气。他们是见惯了生死分别的人,这点伤亡事实上已经是有些出乎意料之外了。不,更应该说是一个奇迹,若不是依仗布兰多对于这些地下居民的熟悉,他们不要说只付出这么一点点代价,甚至连取胜都是一个奢望。Althoughthis and fight between Troglodytewas not within theirestimates-
虽然这场与穴居人之间的战斗本来就不在他们的预计之内-ThereforethreeHead Commandermentalitiesat this momentare somewhat complex, cansay that theyare notthatvoluntarily, forthatyoungThanefights. Fir Tree Baronyallshouldhave no relationswiththem, because actually a bewilderedreasontied upthem among one.
因此三位大团长此刻的心态有些复杂,可以说他们并不是那么自愿地为了那个年轻的领主而战。冷杉男爵领的一切本来应该和他们没有什么关系,但却因为一个莫名其妙的原因将他们之间绑在了一起。Jutta, FernandKaluncould not bearlookmutually, butinlookexcept forforced smilealsoonly thensmiled bitterly.尤塔、弗恩与克伦希亚忍不住互相看了看,但眼神之中除了苦笑也还是只有苦笑。
