第二百零八幕Rose, thornandlust for power
玫瑰、荆棘与权欲Madaracame.玛达拉来了。Not onlyso, Count of Radnoralsoin short one or two monthsgathers20,000people of armiesatPallas, entirethreeKnight-ThaneincludingPallasKnight, in additionmountain people and Barbarian Tribearmy, suchgreat writerseems likehas seemed like not only exterminating the rebellion, butindaredto ridiculehispersondemonstrationtoformerthese.
非但如此,让德内尔伯爵还在短短一两个月之内在帕拉斯聚集起两万人的军队,包括帕拉斯骑士在内整整三位骑士领主,再加上山民与蛮族的军队,这样的大手笔看起来已经不仅仅像是在剿灭叛乱,而是在向之前那些敢于讥笑他的人示威。SuchreassignmentabilityshowedthisLord Count is also far fromneeding‚retirement’ the time, hepreviouslylooked like a tiger that is narrowing the eye, once the angry glarecircleopens, dozensyears ago samecanmake the entiremountain forestvibrateas before. NowentireTrentheim is completely under the fingers and palm of thistiger, remaining*** many have startedto waitto looktaking pleasure in others' misfortunesthesedareto touch the tiger to unfortunate manfate.
这样的调动能力说明这位伯爵大人还远没有到需要‘退休’的时候,他此前就像是一头眯着眼睛的老虎,一旦怒目圆张,就和数十年之前一样依旧可以让整个山林震动起来。现在整个托尼格尔完全处于这头老虎的指掌之下,剩下的***多已经开始幸灾乐祸地等着看那些敢摸虎须的倒霉蛋的下场了。Gryphine'sPersonal Guard Knight Captain, Viscount Arselimmediatelyattains the informationto leave the one's ownofficeimmediately, walkstoward the Her Highness the Princessstudy roomdirection. FollowingSirCoptseesthis, with: „Hi, SirKnight Captain, Iheard the southnews.”格里菲因的近卫骑士长,阿塞尔子爵第一时间拿到情报就马上离开自己的办公室,向公主殿下的书房方向走去。后面科普爵士看到这一幕,也跟了上来:“嗨,骑士长大人,我听说南面的消息了。”Position of CoptinRoyalist Factionis not high, but is actually on the side ofGrandmasterLockwoodperson, Lockwoodis the Princessteacher, simultaneouslyisAouine'schiefCourt Wizard, the positioninroyalistvenerates, thatseveralgreat people who even if the real powerfactionleadssaw that thisold man must lower the head. Arselis not willingto annoy the opposite party, mustnod: „Her Highness the Princessfavorstheserebel armiesvery much, butthis timeshewantedpitifullydisappointedly, actually the aboveseveralSirstoodid not supportwiththeserebel armiescontact, was too riskier, SirRadnorafter allwassidefeudal vassal.”科普在王党一派中地位并不高,不过却是利伍兹大师一边的人,利伍兹是公主的老师,同时又是埃鲁因的首席宫廷法师,在王党之中地位尊崇,就算是实权派领头的那几位大人物见到这老头也得低头。阿塞尔不愿意惹上对方,只得点点头:“公主殿下很看好那些叛军,不过可惜这一次她要失望了,其实上面的几位大人都不太支持与这些叛军接触,太冒险了一些,让德内尔大人毕竟是一方诸侯。”„Lady Princessis not willingwith the Archduke of Anliekepeace talks, yeah, sheafter all to be a child, no matteroutsidepasses onheris brilliant, but the womanis a woman, hassomenaivedesiresto be unavoidable.”Coptnods, pretendsto sigh.
“公主大人并不愿意与安列克大公和谈,哎,她毕竟还是个孩子,不管外面将她传得有多么睿智,但女人就是女人,抱有一些天真的愿望是难免的。”科普点点头,假装叹了口气。Arsellooked athisoneeyes, replied: „Politicsis the politics, kingdomin the futurewill be more important than anything, Ibelieve that Her Highness the Princesswill see clearlythis pointfinally. Reaches the agreement should betterto uschoicewithCount of Radnor, only by doing so, Her Highness the Princesshas the sufficientweight/quantityandAnliekethatold fogydiscusses the condition.”阿塞尔看了他一眼,答道:“政治就是政治,王国的未来比什么都重要,我相信公主殿下最终会看清这一点的。和让德内尔伯爵达成协定对我们来说是最好不过的选择,只有这样,公主殿下才有足够的分量和安列克那老家伙谈条件。”„Yes, butIworried that Her Highness the Princessis besotted. Youknow that SirArsel, Iheardshehas contactedwiththeserebel armiessecretly, ifthisevidencehad the evidencebyRadnor, wemaybe passive.”
“是啊,可是我担心公主殿下执迷不悟。你知道吗,阿塞尔大人,我听说她偷偷与那些叛军联系过,如果这个证据被让德内尔掌握了证据,我们可就被动了啊。”„Felt relieved, GrandmasterLockwood, on the side ofArchduke of Lantoliandid not approve to continueto support secretlythesecountry bumpkins, that sideKnightsalsoexpressed the samewish, in addition the presentsituation, Her Highness the Princesswill not act willfully.”Knight Captainreplied.
“放心好了,利伍兹大师,兰托尼兰大公一边都不赞同继续暗中支持那些乡巴佬,骑士团那边也表达了相同的意愿,再加上现在的局势,公主殿下不会一意孤行的。”骑士长答道。Copthearswordlaughs in one's heart, thought that Her Highness the Princessmaybe much more tenacious than the rumor, let alonealsohas the personto supporther. Howeverheis a smoothperson, in the hearthas the wordsnot to saydirectly, butasksingeniously: „SirOberbeck?”科普闻言暗笑,心想那位公主殿下可比传言中固执得多,何况也不是没有人支持她。不过他是个圆滑的人,心中有话不会直接说出来,而是巧妙地问道:“那欧弗韦尔大人呢?”„He......”Arselsilent, indeed, thatwas called‚wolf’ the fellowattitude is quite always ambiguous, making one ascertain that is unclearhisidea. Whathas a headache, the leader who Oberbeckor the real powersend, by the mindcompared withwas called‚crafty fox’Makarovalsonot inferior in the slightest. Because of the silence of thisperson, causesPrincesssoundnot to reach an agreement.
“他……”阿塞尔沉默了下去,的确,那个被称之为‘狼’的家伙一直以来态度都颇为暧昧,让人捉摸不清他的想法。更为头痛的是,欧弗韦尔还是实权派的领袖人物,论头脑比被称之为‘狡狐’的马卡罗也丝毫不逊色。正是因为这个人的沉默,才导致公主身边的声音没有达成一致。So long as the soundhas not achievedconsistently, explained that has the variable. Whichrebel armiesbutArseldoes not favor, in his opinionpins the destiny of countryin the gamblingsamebehaviornearly the child's play, Copt is also the sameidea, in factinRoyalist Factionmost peopleare the similarideas. In their opinion, the handgrasps the real powerCount of Radnorto compareonegroup of without roots and originrebel armyto be much more reliable.
只要声音没有达成一致,就说明有变数。但阿塞尔并不看好哪些叛军,在他看来把国家的命运寄托在赌博一样的行为上近乎儿戏,科普也是一样的想法,事实上王党一派中大多数人都是差不多的想法。在他们看来,手握实权的让德内尔伯爵比一帮无根无萍的叛军来说要可靠得多。Even was also much kinder.
甚至也要亲切得多了。As for the plan of PrincessYour HighnessGryphine, somefeasibility. Butextremelyrisked danger. The so-calledconfidence, looks likeinnobles is also the young girlpursuesso-called‚is in control of the destiny’ the naiveidea. Suchbehaviortheysaw, had no longer cared, insteadhad the look of understandingonetypenearlyis pitying.
至于公主格里菲因殿下的计划,有些可行性。但太过行险了一些。所谓的胸有成竹,在贵族们看来也不过是少女追求所谓‘主宰自己命运’的天真的想法而已。这样的行为他们见多了,已经不再在意,反而带着一种近乎怜悯的谅解的神色。
The Princessdestiny is used forpolitical marriage, since the little girlmuststruggle, goesbyher, so long asdid not affect the general situationon the line.公主的命运就是用来政治联姻的,既然小女孩要挣扎一下,就由她去吧,只要不影响大局就行了。Arselmade a hand signaltoCopt, after letting the latterleaves, shove open the wooden door of Princessstudy room. In the study roomhasmanypeople, helooks up, Oberbeck, Lockwood, Makarovas well asCount of VioletBarry, almostroyalistallcoremembergather together. Regarding this SirKnight Captainis not strange, in factsince the southsituationbecomesintense, herealmoststartedto meetdaily.阿塞尔给科普打了一个手势,让后者离开之后推开了公主书房的木门。书房里有不少人,他抬头看去,欧弗韦尔、利伍兹、马卡罗以及紫罗兰伯爵巴力,几乎王党所有核心成员都汇聚一堂。对此这位骑士长大人并不奇怪,事实上自从南边的局势变得紧张起来,这里几乎就开始天天开会了。
The atmosphere in roomis somewhat depressing, is sadmakesonenot feelnormally. Insuchenvironment, Viscount Arselalso can only assumein the information that underglare of the public eyewill succeed in obtainingnewly.
只是屋子里的气氛有些压抑,沉闷得令人感到不正常。在这样的环境下,阿塞尔子爵也只能在众目睽睽之下将新到手的情报呈了上去。„Thank you, SirArsel.” The Princesscrispsoundseemsverycalm, but why does not know, this momentArselfeelssomewhatguilty. In factLockwoodisthisHer Highness the Princessteacher, buthe is also considered asfirst half, Her Highness the PrincessthatsplendidSwordsmanshipderiveshisinstructionnow.
“谢谢你,阿塞尔大人。”公主脆生生的声音显得很冷静,但不知为何,此刻阿塞尔却感到有些愧疚。事实上利伍兹是这位公主殿下的老师,但他也算得上半个,公主殿下现在那手出色的剑术就是得自他的传授。„Thisisfor the duty of feudal official, Her Highness the Princess.”Arsellowers the headto reply. Henoticed that Princess Gryphineand others do not have the thoughtsto look atthatinformation the appearance, in the heartunderstand, it seems likevariouspeopleon the scenehad knownthisnews.
“这是为臣的本分,公主殿下。”阿塞尔低着头答道。他看到格里菲因公主和其他人都没有心思去看那封情报的样子,心中就明白,看来在场的诸人已经知道了这个消息。Hecannot bearraises headlook atthatcalmincomparableHalf-Elven Princessquietly, today'sPrincess Gryphineself-poiseas always, herbeautiful appearanceinfiltratesprobablyfromthismakings, makingonefeel the palpitation. But the young girlactuallysomewhatsilent, silverlong hairreflected the candlelightas ifto form a dimhalorare, herboth handsplacedslenderlyon the knee, is sipping the lip, did not flinchfacesis presentingeveryone'svision.
他忍不住悄悄抬起头看着那位冷静无比的半精灵公主,今天的格里菲因公主一如既往的镇定自若,她的美貌好像就是从这种气质之中渗透出来,令人感到心悸。但少女却少有地有些沉默,银色的长发映着烛光仿佛形成了一圈朦胧的光晕,她双手放在纤细地膝盖上,抿着嘴唇,毫不退缩地面对着在场所有人的目光。„Iunderstood, obeys the meaning of Sir.”Shereplied.
“我明白了,就遵照诸位大人的意思吧。”她答道。Althoughis the compromise, but the soundis decisiveslightlynot the retreatleeway. As ifeventhis, is still under the decisionbyherpersonallyinstitute. Saw that suchscenenearbyCount Barrycannot bearshake the headcontinually, ifthisHer Highness the Princessis a prince, shouldgood?
虽然是妥协,但声音果断得没有丝毫后退的余地。仿佛即使是这样,也是由她亲自所下的决定。看到这样的一幕连一旁的巴力伯爵都忍不住摇摇头,如果这位公主殿下是一位王子,该有多好?Howeverhistorynot, if.
然而历史没有如果。CompromisestoCount of Radnor, workedto marrywithAnliekeisimperative, in the eachroyalistmemberheart, thesenorthernerwascompletely uselessis also ordinary. Only after waiting for the snow and iceto melt, the north-southwar, candecidetheirfutureposition.
向让德内尔伯爵妥协,与安列克打工联姻是势在必行了,在每一个王党成员心中,那些北方佬也不过是土鸡瓦狗一般。只等冰雪消融之后,南北一场大战,就能决定他们未来的地位。
The revival of kingdom, as if no to prevent.
王国的复兴,似乎已经无可阻挡了。Alsois the perfectresult.
也算是完美的结果。

……„Achoo!”Hadashsneezes, herubbed the face, making the coldairbe insufficient the frozen stiffface.

“阿嚏!”哈德什打了个喷嚏,他揉了揉脸,让寒冷的空气不至于冻僵面部。虽然已经翻了年,但冬季未有消寂的迹象,反倒是越发寒冷了起来。格里斯河以北,这种森林中的小型哨堡的木墙上都挂了一层冰棱,木质被冻得坚硬无比,与岩石也一无二致。HadashplacesonGlove the parapet, standslooksto the forestin the highwatchtower, in the foresthad the open land that opens up, buthas not sown seeds since the winter.

Let aloneeveryoneis well aware, Lord Countat this momentalsohasBarbarian Tribeandundeadassists, Duke of north, does not darenot to face up tosuchstrength.
离开托尼格尔稍远一些的地方,其实很多人已经得知了这场即将到来的大战,但在他们看来这场实力悬殊的战斗毫无悬念,让德内尔伯爵虽然已经逐渐步入老迈,但旺盛的精力尚未消退,他的命令在自己治下的地区依旧被视作权威,在短短时间内就可以聚集起一支10,000-20,000数目的军队。何况大家都心知肚明,此刻的伯爵大人还有蛮族与亡灵翼助,就连北方的诸位公爵,也不敢不正视这样的力量。
The view of Hadashsomewhatis different, before today, had the soldiersfromdifferentplaceto enterinthissmallsentry postfor successive three days. Threedayscamefour, next morningcamesix, yesterday the lastbatchwereseven, withinshortthreedays, the troops in thissentry postfortachieved20people.
只是哈德什的看法却有些不同,就在今天之前,连续三天以来都有来自不同地方的士兵进入这座小小的哨岗中。三天前来了四个,第二天早上来了六个,昨天最后一批是七个,短短三天之内,这座哨堡内的兵力就达到了二十人。Thesepeople, are completely professionsoldier. Thisconclusionhas a scareHadash;Beforeturning tonewThane, HadashoncewasGrudinKnightaccompanied, naturally, could not comparetheseguardsin the castle, butGrudinseemed likehesuchexperiencedwarriorat mostnotover50hand/subordinate. Other, mostlyarethatnobleprivatesoldier, evenaremilitia, forget it/that's all that is used to make up the number.
这些人,全部都是职业军人。这个结论把哈德什自己都吓了一跳;在投靠新领主之前,哈德什曾是格鲁丁的骑士随从,当然,比不上在城堡里那些近卫,不过格鲁丁手下像是他这样老练的战士顶多也不超过五十个。其他的,大多是那种贵族私兵、甚至是民兵,用来凑数的罢了。Hadashhas experiencedfights between severalThane, inthistime, the fight between Thaneusuallyisverybloody, althoughnoblereallywill often not receivedamage- urgesexcept forthattypeunlucky, the flowedarrowhitsoutside-, but the underprivatesoldierandKnightconsumptionisveryfierce. The person who only thensurvivesin a fight, cancall itskilledwarrior, butexperiences the person who had foughtseveral timeslikehim, looks down upon the fellow who theseswordcannot even gripradically. Thatfellowcomesmanyagain is also useless.哈德什经历过几次领主之间的战斗,在这个时代,领主之间的战斗通常是非常血腥的,虽然贵族往往并不会真的受到伤害-除了那种倒霉催的,被流矢击中的以外-但下面的私兵、骑士的消耗是非常厉害的。只有在一次战斗中存活下来的人,才能被称之为熟练的战士,而像他这样经历过数次战斗的人,根本看不起那些连剑都握不住的家伙。那种家伙来再多也是白搭。HoweveroneThane, trulyreliableKnightactuallyoftensuch110, will not be under more. Firstcannot raise, professionsoldierneedsto take the large amounts ofresources, not to mentionexperiencedKnight. Nextdoes not haveso manyoutstandingtalents, the smallThaneattractionoftencannot comparethesesidehero, Knight of strengthwill a little turnto seem likeCount of Radnorlike thisbigThaneslightly. Was known asoutwardover a hundredarmed soldiers, can be said asverydomineeringThane, probablyGrudinsideBaron, hand/subordinatetrulyreliableis about110people.
不过一个领主,手下真正靠得住的骑士其实往往也就那么百十个,不会更多。首先养不起,一个职业军人都需要占用大量的资源,更不用说老练的骑士。其次也没有那么多优秀的人才,小小的领主吸引力往往比不上那些一方豪雄,稍微有点实力的骑士都会去投靠像是让德内尔伯爵这样的大领主。向外号称有上百甲士的,就已经可以说是个非常强势的领主了,像是格鲁丁一方男爵,手下真正靠得住的也不过百十人而已。ButBrando is actually an exception.
但布兰多却是一个例外。Becausehiscompletetalenthand/subordinatecansay that is the accident of sortsgathers, frommountain people, evenmercenary of fartherarea, thesemercenary, althoughhas not gone through any truewar, butyear to yearinseeing the fight of blooduses all might, person who canliveregardingfightkeenoftencomparesgeneralsoldieralso to be higher thana notch.
因为他手下的全部人才可以说都是机缘巧合聚集起来的,来自山民中、甚至更远地区的雇佣兵,这些雇佣兵虽然没有经历过什么真正的战争,但常年在见血的战斗中摸爬滚打,能活下来的人对于战斗的敏锐往往比一般的军人还要高出一筹。ButJutta, FernandKalunthreeCommandermercenaryhand/subordinateareoutstanding, particularlyFernsubordinateoriginallymostly from CalumSueplateaubelongs to the Aouinecavalry, asscoutiselite, forcefullybe higher thana notchafter the baptismlaterindividualstrength of bloodfirecompared withothermercenary.
而尤塔、弗恩、克伦希亚三位团长手下的雇佣兵更是出类拔萃,尤其是弗恩的部下原本大多都是来自于卡伦苏高原的原属埃鲁因骑兵,作为斥候本来就是精锐,经过血火的洗礼之后个人实力硬生生要比其他雇佣兵高出一筹。Howeverthis is also notstrongest, because ofexistence of Red Copper DragonLetothatgang.

Especially the Letostatusis placed there, hesuspectedvery muchtheseveteransareallare the November Warveterans.
不过这还不是最强的,因为还有赤铜龙雷托那一伙人的存在。那些人实力并不高,最出色的也不过在黑铁巅峰徘徊,但战斗经验丰富得不可思议,布兰多很早就怀疑这些家伙的身份了。尤其是雷托的身份摆在那里,他很怀疑这些老兵是不是全是十一月战争的老兵。Thisconclusionis somewhat fearful, butseems like is actually the most credibleguess. TheseexperiencedmercenaryoccupiedinBrando's subordinatehumanabout2/3establishments, in addition came from BucceandRydenburgbelongs to the member of garrisonandpatrolcavalry, thesepeoplehave also foughtwithMadara.
这个结论有些可怕,但看起来却是最靠谱的一个猜测。这些老练的雇佣兵就占据了布兰多手下的人类中近三分之二的编制,此外还有一些来自于布契、里登堡的原属警备队、巡逻骑兵的成员,这些人也是与玛达拉交过手的。

最后一部分是跟随卡格利斯投靠过来的敏泰爵士的骑士,再加上招募的新兵。布兰多手下现在拥有的人类士兵大约有两千多接近三千的样子,但两千多人中足足有八成以上都是真正的老兵,是拥有与那些常年修习战斗的技艺的正式骑士相比都毫不逊色的最为经验丰富、老练的战士。
The bystandersthink their group of Trentheim‚rebel army’is the motley crew of 2,000-3,000numbers, butHadashis clear, thatyoungThaneit can be said thathasenough more than 2000Knighthand/subordinatecompletely. More than 2000Knight, Martha above, more than 2000Knightcanlead the 100,000armyto come.
外人以为他们这帮托尼格尔的‘叛军’不过是2,000-3,000数目的乌合之众,但哈德什却清楚,那个年轻的领主手下完全可以说是拥有足足两千多名骑士。两千多名骑士啊,玛莎在上,两千多名骑士可以领导起过十万的军队来。
When First King Eichtfounds a nation, the sidealsoonly has200Knightto follow.先君埃克立国时,身边也不过只有两百名骑士追随而已。„Inforesthas the sound.”Suddenly, a soundsaidbehindhim. Hadashhas a scare, subconsciouslyturns head.
“森林中有动静。”忽然,一个声音在他背后如此说道。哈德什吓了一跳,下意识地回过头去。
