Solves the thunderboltwith great difficulty, Knight Minteyenaturallymustreturn to the armyto go to the commandone's ownsubordinate.
好不容易解决完自己这边的突发事件,敏泰爵士自然要回到军中去指挥自己的部下。Howeveronly thenhecould not bearrejoiceat this time: Thanking heaven and earth is onegroup of motley crewbattlesfortunately, mustreally betwo armies pitted against each other, hehas not really been ableto find the timeto restrainoneselfthislawlesssonfrom the army.
不过只有这个时候他才忍不住庆幸:谢天谢地还好是和一群乌合之众作战,要真是两军对垒,他还真无法从大军之中抽出时间来约束自己这个无法无天的儿子。But the differentpeoplehave the differentideas, Knight Minteyejust nowturn around, youngstertheseretinues and trusted subordinatesencircled. Theydetected that head of household'sthunderangerhas not fallentoownon, cannot bearsighed in reliefrespectively, butalsoaskedin the youngsteruniquecuriosity of thisagebyonetypelow voice: „Young master, do wewantto go to war?”
但不同的人有不同的想法,敏泰爵士才刚转身,年轻人身边那些仆从与亲信们就围了上来。他们察觉到家主的雷霆怒火没有落到自己头上,各自忍不住松了一口气,不过又以一种处于这个年纪的少年特有的好奇心小声问道:“少爷,我们要去打仗了?”youngsternods, does not caresays with a smile: „Naturallymusthit, butisonecrowd of rioterforget it/that's all, can could it be thatalsoindigenousbe fiercer than mountain people? Youremember, ourfutureenemies may bethiskingdomtrueElite, as fortheserioters, madethem the firststepping-stone on ourprogressgood-”年轻人点点头,不太在乎地笑道:“当然要打,不过是一群暴民罢了,难道还能比山民土著更厉害?你们记住,我们将来的敌人可能是这个王国真正的精英们,至于这些暴民,就让他们成为我们前进道路上的第一块垫脚石好了-”„Maylisten to the view of Sir, the opposite party is very probably fierce!”
“可听大人的说法,对方好像很厉害啊!”„Relieved, outstandingcommoneralsoexperienceslimitedly,”youngstersnort/hum, „saidagainIhave not known the intention of fatherSir, heforstall for timeforget it/that's all, but alsothinks that Ican't look?

“安心,再出众的平民也见识有限,”年轻人哼了一声,“再说我还不知道父亲大人的用意,他不过是为了拖延时间罢了,还以为我看不出来?他口中说得厉害,不一定真的厉害。不过没关系,等我把父亲的后话都堵死了,看他以后还怎么说!”Helooks that Knight Minteyein the back that in the forestgraduallyvanishes, cannot bearsmilescunningly.
他看着敏泰爵士在森林中逐渐消失的背影,忍不住狡黠地一笑。
......
……
The ray in roombecamebright.
屋内的光线变得明亮了一些。But the disputesound of out of the windowis getting bigger and bigger, Brandofrowns, finallystandsto bypass the walnut the desk, arrives at the louver, actuallylooks in the followinggardenishow a matter.
但窗外的争执声越来越大,布兰多皱了一下眉头,终于站起来绕过胡桃木的书桌,来到百叶窗边,看下面庭院之中究竟是怎么一回事。By the whiteopening, hesawquicklyMaster ArtisanBoluandAmandinaandthreeHead Commanderhand/subordinatestandis disputinganything, butLittle Silver Elven Princessstands on one sideseems like mediating a quarrel. Butin another sideslightlyfarplace, Scarlettis backing onone's own games halberdaccording tounder a black pine, bites a leave of grassto look here, as iftohereall of occurrencehas no interest.
透过白色的窗孔,他很快看到了工匠大师柏鲁、安蒂缇娜与自己手下的三位大团长站在一起正在争执什么,而银精灵小公主站在一边似乎是在劝架。而在另一边稍远的地方,茜背靠着自己的戟依在一株黑松下面,咬着一根草叶看着这边,似乎对这边的发生的一切没什么兴趣。„What's the matter?”
“怎么回事?”Brandodoes not understand why thesepeoplewill quarrel, but after hesitantonenext, hedecidesto get downto have a lookpersonallywhat's the matter, after allmember of oneselfcorequarrelled, thiswas not a good deed.布兰多不明白为什么这几个人会吵起来,不过犹豫了一下之后他决定亲自下去看看是怎么回事,毕竟自己核心的成员争吵起来,这可不是一件好事。Butopens the door, a front surfaceshadowhits, rapidness that if not forBrandoresponded, perhapstwo peoplemusthitto fill with. Hisretreatonestepsees clearly, thatisFlo, butwild elf girlsameretreatonestep, „Lord Thane!”Shereorganized a mood, thenhands over a paper-
但才打开门,迎面一个黑影撞来,若不是布兰多反应的快,两人恐怕要撞个满怀。他后退一步才看清楚,那是芙罗,而野精灵少女同样后退一步,“领主大人!”她整理了一下情绪,然后递上来一张纸条-„Whatmatter?”Brandogawks, thought that todayiswhatday, matterone after another. Hereceived the paperwhilewalksto close, simultaneouslylowered the headto glance overpaper on a hand, was astonishedhoweversaid: „Did Samueldispatch troops, to cross the Griessferry spot?”
“什么事?”布兰多一楞,心想今天是什么日子,事情一件接着一件。他一边接过纸条一边走出去关上门,同时低头浏览了一眼手上的纸条,讶然道:“塞缪尔出兵了,已经过了格尔斯渡口?”Samuel in hismouth, naturallyisKnight Minteye.
他口中的塞缪尔,自然就是敏泰爵士。
Before Troglodytefights, mercenaryscouthas been distributedcoast of the Griessriver. But after recapturing the lumbering area, Brando of withdrawinginformerdensely coveredbetweenFir CityandGriessferry spots, thereforeKnight Minteyejustcrossed the Griessriver, the newshad passed to hishand.
早在与穴居人一战之前,雇佣兵的斥候就已经分布在格尔斯河沿岸。而夺回伐木场之后,抽回手的布兰多更是将眼线密布在冷杉城与格尔斯渡口之间,因此敏泰爵士才刚刚渡过格尔斯河,消息就已经传到了他的手上。Flovafalls behindonestepto followhe, nodded: „Yes, Sir.”芙罗法落后一步跟着他,点了点头:“是的,大人。”„Thatcannotstartto mobilizefromyesterday, thiswas expected that Cielis much earlier than? Thisfellowis not simple-”Brandocould not bearsighone.
“那不是应当从昨天起就开始动员了,这比夏尔预料之中的要早得多啊?这家伙不简单呢-”布兰多忍不住感叹了一句。Amonghissideallreliablepeople, Aouinenoble, understandsfamiliarnowsimultaneously the warart, belongs toCiel;Butaccording tothatyoungwizardjudged,Knight Minteyeis impossibleto leaveprematurely, becauseamongAouinenoblegame rulesplacesthere, the average personis unlikelyto overstep.
在他身边所有可靠的人当中,最熟悉当今埃鲁因贵族、同时又了解战争艺术的,非夏尔莫属;而根据那个年轻的巫师判断,敏泰爵士决计不可能过早动身,因为埃鲁因贵族之间游戏规则就放在那里,一般人不大可能逾越。Naturally, besidesforeign family that Brandolike thisanythingdoes not understand-
当然,除了布兰多这样什么也不懂的外来户之外-Cannotthatonlybe able, to be indecisivefromAouinemostnobleearlylate, the degree of timidlybeing afraid of getting into trouble, Cieldecides the time that the Minteyedirectiondispatches troops totwodayslater;But looking back now, perhaps the ability of thisKnightSir must above the Aouinegenerallower levelnobleaverageline of level.
不能早那就只能晚了,从埃鲁因大多数贵族优柔寡断,胆小怕事的程度上来看,夏尔将敏泰方向出兵的时间定在两天之后;但现在看来,这位爵士大人的能力恐怕还要在埃鲁因广大下层贵族的平均水准线之上。„Someprobablyhow manypeople?”Brandoalsoasked.
“大概有多少人?”布兰多又问道。„Several hundredpeople, notover1000.”Florepliedunemotionally: „Is away from the Griessriver, it is saidKalunscouthand/subordinatedoes not dareto penetrate, does not know that behind alsohasfollowing-”
“几百人,不超过一千。”芙罗面无表情地答道:“不过隔着格尔斯河,据说克伦希亚手下的斥候没敢深入,不知道后面还有没有后续-”„Relax, did not have,”Brandoshakes the head: „Is Samuel a retainer, how manypeoplein the handcanhavealso to divide forces? Howeverseveral hundredpeople,”hecould not bearsmile bitterly: „The opposite partylooks down uponusvery much......”
“放心,没有了,”布兰多摇摇头:“塞缪尔不过是个家臣,手上能有多少人还要分兵?不过才几百人,”他忍不住苦笑了一下:“对方很看不起我们啊……”„Compared with the Lord Thaneunusualidea, Ipoursrathereveryoneto look down uponus.”wild elf girllooked athisoneeyes, opened the mouthrarelyon own initiative.
“比起领主大人奇特的想法,我倒宁愿人人都看不起我们。”野精灵少女看了他一眼,难得地主动开口回了一句。Brandosmiles, puts downthistopic, butremembers a matter. „On the other hand,”heasked: „Iremember that has raised, from the Griessriverferry spottowardeasttoGrahár Mountainthisdistance, the Griessriverdoesn't haveseveralshoalsone side of the forest? Crossing the armywassomewhattroublesome, butKalun did scouthand/subordinateford should noissue?”布兰多一笑,放下这个话题,但又想起一件事来。“话说回来,”他问道:“我记得有提过,从格尔斯河渡口往东一直到格拉哈尔山这段距离,格尔斯河在森林一侧不是有好几个浅滩?渡过大军是有些麻烦,不过克伦希亚手下的斥候涉水过去应该没什么问题罢?”„Yes, who is willingto bring death.”
“是,可谁愿意去送死。”„ThereforeMercenarywas inferiorspecializedsoldier,”Brandoshakes the head: „Naturally, Ido not meanyou.”
“所以说佣兵还是不如专业的军人,”布兰多摇摇头:“当然,我不是说你们。”„Mercenary of Lopesis also similar.”Floreplied, althoughmercenarieswas known asin the warseeks a livelihood, buttruesoldierthattypehas not actually stricted enforcement of orders and bans. In facttheyregard as the business the war, the customertohow muchmoney, theymanagesmanymatterforget it/that's all.
“卢比斯雇佣兵也差不多。”芙罗答道,虽然佣兵们号称在战争中讨生活,但却并没有真正的军人那种令行禁止。事实上他们将战争看成买卖,买主给多少钱,他们办多少事罢了。Mostmercenarycarry outsomesolequest / missionin the war, the employer of disbursing moneyalsofully realizesthis point, most peopleoftenmake up fortemporaryunderstrengthwithmercenary;Butexcept forGrudinthisplacetyrants, few peoplewill really work as the main forceusethem, thatfeared that mostmercenarypersonal qualities are quite outstandingwithexperience are also same.
大多数雇佣兵在战争中都执行一些单一的任务,出钱的雇主也深知这一点,大多数人往往用雇佣兵来弥补一时的兵力不足;而除了格鲁丁这种地方豪强,很少有人真的会将他们当主力使用,那怕大多数雇佣兵的个人素质与经验都极为出众也是一样。In a truewar, the disciplineoftenisfirstimportant. Whythis is also Brandonot the reasons of thesemercenariesreconstitutions, the veteransloppytemper is very difficultto be changed, thereforeheplansto belong to Amber SwordMercenary CompanytheseMercenaryentirely, quitewill letmakethemdisplay the one's ownofficial dutyin the futurewar.
在一场真正的战争中,纪律往往才是第一重要的。这也是布兰多为什么没有将这些佣兵们重编的原因,老兵散漫的性子很难被改变,因此他打算将这些佣兵统统归入琥珀之剑佣兵团中,好让在未来的战争中让他们发挥自己的本职。Insteadinthistime, usingmercenary is also very universalmatter.
反正在这个时代,使用雇佣兵也是很普遍的事情。Plans during as forBrando the army, naturallyrecruitsfrom the native, are extremely then individualfrom the Mercenaryabsorption the outstandingpromising young talent;To put it bluntly, hedoes not planto make good use ofmercenary, butin the Brandomindwas the one's ownarmyto have an idea of outlinemerely, mustunfoldthistentative planblueprintjustmakes a startat present.
至于布兰多计划之中的军队,当然还是从本地人当中招募,然后再从佣兵吸收极个别优秀的可造之才;说白了,他并不打算重用雇佣兵,但布兰多心目之中属于自己的军队才仅仅有了一个轮廓的想法,要将这个设想蓝图铺开目前才刚刚开了一个头而已。In his opinion, nowmaycan bewith many ramifications-
在他看来,现在可算得上是千头万绪-
The pressure that will soon face is not small, at the presentKnight Minteyehas dispatched troops, butinhim is also an exploring the wayprivate;Not to mention the Count of Radnorinfluencesamepresseslike the dark cloudsinallheads, wasKnights on Pallasandhishandgivesthisstretch of newbornterritoryto bringenoughtroublesufficiently-
即将面临的压力也不算小,而今敏泰爵士已经出兵,但在他还不过是一个探路的卒子;且不说让德内尔伯爵的势力如同阴云一样压在所有人头,就是帕拉斯和他手上的骑士们就足以给这片新生的领地带来足够的麻烦了-Brandois unable to obtain the northernnews, butthatbit wideandSer Knightobtains the news, startsto mass troops. BythisKnightregarding the loyalty of Grudin, naturallyin the quickesttimemoves to front ofhisarmythem.布兰多无法得到北方的消息,但想必那位宽和的骑士大人已经得到了消息,开始着手集结军队。以这位骑士对于格鲁丁的忠诚,自然会在最快的时间将他的军队搬到他们面前。Howeverthinks ofGrudinsharpestKnights that onPallasgrasps, Brandoworriedactually not, butwas somewhat a pity. ButtheseTrentheimareamost specializedsoldier, studiesart of warsince childhood, ifcanuseto be goodforhim.
不过一想到帕拉斯手上掌握的格鲁丁最精锐的骑士们,布兰多倒不是担忧,而是有些可惜。那些可是托尼格尔地区最专业的军人,从小修习战争的技艺,如果能为他所用就好了。Naturallyhealsoknows that thisis only an expectation, Brandorubsonegroupto holdinownpurse the paper, in the hearthas put downthismatter. Heunderstands that the matter of army can only step by stepcome, like the food can only stuttering.
当然他也知道这只是一个奢望,布兰多将纸条揉成一团揣到自己荷包里,心中已经放下这件事。他明白军队的事情只能一步步来,就像饭只能一口口吃一样。ButKnight Minteye the news of dispatching troopshas not madehimfeelhowsurprised, the fightwithTroglodytehas the goal;At this momentfrom the Griessriverto the Fir Cityforest, Tajivanditsclansmanhas blockadedthisarea.
但敏泰爵士的出兵的消息并没有让他感到多么惊讶,与穴居人的战斗不是没有目的的;此时此刻从格尔斯河沿岸到冷杉城一带的森林之中,塔吉卜和它族人早已封锁了这一地区。As for the Knight Minteyedestiny, Brandodoes not needto spendtoomanystrengthsto think. Several hundredprivatesoldiersandminorityKnight, possiblyalso some mercenary, whenfacingover a thousandTroglodyte, finallyit can be imagined.
至于敏泰爵士的命运,布兰多不需要花费太多力气去多想。几百私兵和少数骑士,可能还有一些雇佣兵,在面对上千穴居人时,结果可想而知。Puts downthismatter, heasked: „Underwhat's the matter?”
放下这件事,他问道:“下面是怎么回事?”this timeFloshakes the head, „Ido not know that- when”shepasses through the gardennaturallyalsosawduringis quarrellingseveralpeople, butstemming from this girl's uniqueindifference, shenotandunrelated the mattertothesehascared.这一次芙罗摇了摇头,“我不知道-”她经过庭院时自然也看到了正在争吵之中的几人,不过出于一种这位姑娘特有的冷漠,她并未对这些与自己不相干的事情有多关心。Brandonods, had not asked;Two peoplego to a buildinghallafter the darkcircular newel stair, entershall- naturallyherecompares toseveraldays ago Brandoacts crazyhere, was completely renovated, the company commandertablealsotradedone- the sound that outside gardendisputedbecamemayhearclearly.布兰多点点头,没有多问;两人经过幽暗的的旋梯来到一楼大厅,一进入大厅-当然这里比起几天之前布兰多在这里发飙的时候,已经算是修葺一新了,连长桌也换了一条-外面庭院中争执的声音就变得清晰可闻起来。HoweverBrandofirstsees is actually in the hall, a personsits, inlongtableanother, the almostentirebodyliesonRomainetodesktop;miss merchantbringsstrangeeyeglasses, a pair of smallarmpresseson the bigpile of parchment, seems transcribinganything-
不过布兰多首先看到的却是大厅之中,一个人坐在长桌另一头、几乎整个身子都趴到桌面上的罗曼;商人小姐带着一副奇怪的眼镜,一对小胳膊压在大堆羊皮纸上,似乎正在抄写什么-Disputesound that transmitsas for the gardenoutside, sheturns a deaf ear toactually.
至于庭院之外传来的争执声,她倒是充耳不闻。Naturally after hearingbehindsound, Romaineactuallyturns headfiercely, saw when youngsteron a smallfacebloomsto start out the dimpleimmediatelylike the flower, raises headshoutscrisp: „Brando!”
当然听到身后的声音后,罗曼却猛地回过头来,看到年轻人时一张小脸上立刻绽放开出笑靥如花,抬起头脆生生地喊道:“布兰多!”Brandoshakes the head, walksto take offeyeglassesonyoung girlcarefulbridge of the nose, askedill-humoredly: „Yourthisappearance, is doing?”布兰多摇摇头,走过去摘下架在少女细细的鼻梁上的眼镜,没好气地问道:“你这副样子,又是在干什么?”„Does accounts.”miss merchantlifts the sharpsmallchin, naturallyreplied.
“算账咯。”商人小姐抬起尖尖的小下巴,理所当然地答道。Brandosuddenly, thisnods; Since taking over control ofFir City, allprivate property of Grudinincitytakes the spoils of warnaturallyalso‚Lord Thane’naturallyto be receivedby his. Butbesidesis apportioning the mercenaryrewardafter the warandrewards with food and drink, in factalsoleft behind the money.布兰多恍然,这才点点头;自从接管了冷杉城之后,格鲁丁在城内的一切的私有财产作为战利品当然也被他这个‘领主大人’理所当然地接收。而除了在战后分给雇佣兵的报酬和犒劳之外,事实上还留下了一大笔钱。
