森林中的斥候们陆续过了河,关于帕拉斯骑士的军队方方面面的消息也传了回来。布兰多年轻的法师侍从夏尔此刻身披长袍、手持法杖站在哨塔上,一边向北方极目远望,然后回头对身后说道:“减员比想象之中还严重,遣往北方的斥候战损率都在四到五成以上。这些都是经验丰富的老兵,三天之内,我们起码损失了五十人,还有三倍于此的伤员。”Endhealsosupplementedone: „IfIam the Lord Thane'swords, this waytook offto traveldirectly.”
末了他还补充了一句:“若我是领主大人的话,这样下去就直接卷铺盖跑路了。”„Thereforeyouare notLord Thane.”WoreElven Princess of silver armorto look athisoneeyes, repliedindifferently. Medissawears the Silver Elfuniqueapexhelmet, the smallfacepackage, the lipsipsclosely, is seemingly gallant.
“所以你不是领主大人。”身披一身银甲的精灵公主看了他一眼,淡然地答道。梅蒂莎戴着银精灵特有的尖顶头盔,将小脸包裹在内,嘴唇抿得紧紧的,看起来英气逼人。„Does hecleaning upourscout, whatplothave?”
“他把清理我们的斥候,是不是有什么阴谋?”„Possiblydoes not have, purelyisbecausePallasknowsinourhandsto haveTroglodyte, hedoes not want the flankin the fightto be attacked. Hedoes not wantto return to the Knight Minteyeroad.”Medissareplied.
“可能没有,纯粹是因为帕拉斯知道我们手上有穴居人,他不想在战斗的时候侧翼受到攻击而已。他不想重蹈敏泰爵士的覆辙。”梅蒂莎答道。„Reallydifficult to deal with.”Cielshakes the head, the browwrinkledtoquicklytogether: „Does not know that candrag for threedays.”
“真难对付啊。”夏尔摇了摇头,眉头都快皱到一块儿了:“不知道能不能拖上三天。”Radnorarmyalreadyto- „inforesthas the person!”让德内尔大军已至-“森林中有人!”In the forestpresented the firstreflection, Knight that wearsarmourappearedin the forest of riveropposite shore, later, hepresentedmorearmiesbehind.

森林中出现了第一道反光,一名身披甲胄的骑士出现在了河对岸的森林中,随后,他身后出现了更多军队。那名骑士将手中的旗杆狠狠插入脚下河岸松软的泥土中,一面天蓝底色的纹章旗迎风展开。Pallas'hunting dogfamily emblem.帕拉斯的猎犬家徽。„North, the east sidealsohas......!”
“北边,东边也有……!”„Many.”
“好多。”In the forestputs on the red and blueto alternate with the soldier of battle dressone after another, numbermore thanthousandpeople. „Do theyprepareto attack a city?”Cielsaw that an archershot an arrowtoward the Greese Riverby far, arrow(s)approximatelyalso more than 50stepsfellfrom the dirt wallonriver bankweak, has turned headto ask.
森林中穿着红蓝相间战袍的士兵鱼贯而出,数目不下千人。“他们准备攻城?”夏尔看到有个弓箭手向着格里斯河这边远远地射了一箭,箭矢距离土墙大约还有五十多步无力地落在河滩上,回过头问道。Medissashakes the head, opposite partyinsurveydistance. Theypossiblyexploringlywill attackonetime, butshouldfirstobserve a meetingbefore that.梅蒂莎摇了摇头,对方在测算距离而已。他们可能会试探性地攻击一次,不过在那之前应该先观察一会。AsSilver ElfyoungestPrincess, the war of Medissaexperienceactuallydoes not compareotherclansmanfewmany. Before the warapproaches the atmosphere, not onlyhas not madeherfeelanxious, instead a familiarkindness, were only the enemyare too few.
作为银精灵年龄最小的公主,梅蒂莎经历的战争其实并不比其他的族人少多少。大战来临前的气氛非但未使她感到紧张,反而有一种熟悉的亲切,只是敌人太少了。
The enemieswere too few, Silver Elf Girlshakes the head.
敌人太少了,银精灵少女摇摇头。Medissahas not expectedwrong, at this momentabove a smallhillkilometer away, Pallasstands uprightlike the sharp swordgenerallyon the horseback. RetainersideKnight that thisGrudinmosttrustssurrounds, hishandaccording to the sword hilt, in the eye socket that gets sucked into the visionfalcon that inspectsabove the distant placeriver bank seems to be common.梅蒂莎并未料错,此刻远在千米之外的一座小山丘之上,帕拉斯如同利剑一般挺立在马背上。这位格鲁丁最信任的家臣身边骑士环绕,他手按剑柄,深陷的眼眶中在远处河岸之上巡视的目光仿佛鹰隼一般锐利。
The Pallas'ageisinGrudinallretainersoldest, althoughhas the personal friendshipwithKnight Minteye, buttwo peopleagesare actually far, Knight Minteyejust whenmaturity, butPallasalreadygraying at the temples. ThisoldKnightmaysayhas fought many battles, althoughhisfamecannot pass toAmpere Searl and Buccesuchfarside, but can actually letcharacter that the childstopscriesinTrentheimBarbarian Tribemountain people.帕拉斯的年纪是格鲁丁所有家臣之中最为年长的,虽然和敏泰爵士有私交,但两人的年纪却相差甚远,敏泰爵士正值壮年,但帕拉斯已经两鬓斑白。这位老骑士可说身经百战,他的名气虽然传不到安培瑟尔、布契这么远的方,但在托尼格尔的蛮族山民之中却是可以让小孩止啼的角色。

格里斯河渡口就近在眼前,帕拉斯以前也曾来过1-2。他记得河对岸是一片平坦的草地,但现在看到的景色却让他疑似自己已经老眼昏花-郁郁葱葱的森林将渡口完全遮掩,只有从对岸树林之间延伸向河口的浅滩证明他们没来错地方,这个时节正是格里斯河水位最低的季节,即使是步兵也能涉过冰冷的河水从格里斯渡口的浅滩渡河。远处的森林中似乎建有工事,林立于树冠层的哨塔可以证明这一点-只是这里何时多了一片森林,帕拉斯记得自己上一次来这里也不过是2-3年前,但对岸的森林却不像是2-3年之间可以长得起来的。Thesetoweringancient treeat leasttake2-3talents to joint hold, as high as over ten meters, let alone2-3years, 20-30yearsare also not necessarily ableto grow intothis.
这些参天古木至少要2-3人才能合抱,高达十米以上,别说2-3年,20-30年也未必能长成这样。„Riveropposite shorehas the fortress, the sentrysaid that saw the native manufacturewall. Thisforest, at leastexplained that hadDruidis the rumor that the rebel armyworked for.”SomePallasadjutantssaid.
“河对岸有堡垒,哨兵说看到了土制墙壁。这片森林,至少说明有德鲁伊为叛军效力的传言是真的了。”帕拉斯身边有副官说道。„Does Druidhave the meansto make the woodsturn intothisin the shorttime? Actually are theseIllusion spellor the woods that transplantsfromelsewhere?”Pallasseesat presentthatforest, thatclearlyis a primitiveforest, easy to defend and hard to attack, ifDruidwere capable ofsuchrathertoobeing also inconceivable;Even ifthisforesttransplantsfromelsewhere, butmustplantin a short timeis not exactly easy. Althoughhehasto seemagic, spell that butmostwizarddisplaydisappears, althoughis powerful, butis not unacceptable.
“德鲁伊有办法让树林在短短时间内变成这样?这些究竟是幻术还是从别处移植过来的树林?”帕拉斯看到眼前那片森林,那分明是一片原始的茂林,易守不易攻,若是德鲁伊有这样的能力也未免太不可思议了一些;这片森林就算从别处移植过来,但要在短时间内栽活也不容易。他虽然不是没见过魔法,可是大多数巫师施展的法术都是转瞬即逝,虽然强大,但并非不可接受。Thisforestactuallyat present, the areaminimumbe continuoustenseveralli (0.5 km), are really presentinginthemat present. Alsois notIllusion spell, is not the misconception.
只是这片森林却就在眼前,面积起码绵延十数里,实实在在地呈现在他们眼前。既不是幻术,也不是错觉。AudienceKnightkeep quietdid not say, Druidwas a mysteriousethnic group, actuallyno onecould reach an agreementtheyto be ableanything. EvenactuallyevenDruidinmostlegendscandisplayspellalsotwo saying that a viewexpressedDruidis good attaming the animalto fightforthem, another viewexpressed that Druidswill turn into the powerfulanimalfight, looking likeLycanthropes is the same.
身边的众骑士缄口不言,德鲁伊是个神秘的族群,谁也说不好他们究竟会些什么。甚至在大多数传说之中连德鲁伊究竟会不会施展法术都还两说,一种说法表示德鲁伊擅长驯养动物为他们战斗,另一种说法表示德鲁伊们会变成强大的动物战斗,就像是兽化人一样。HoweverPallasshoutedaccompanying the armed forcesWizardto explain that forthemquicklywas clear aboutthisissue, thatoldwizardafterhearingthisforestisemerges out of thin airat presentis also startled, Druidcanaccelerate the plant growth, but is not so absolutely powerful.
不过帕拉斯很快叫来了随军的法师为他们解释清楚了这个问题,那个年长的巫师在听说眼前这片森林是凭空出现之后也大吃了一惊,德鲁伊是可以加速植物生长,但绝对没有这么强大。
The oppositecanbuild such bigforestin the shorttime, eitherexplained the Druidnumber that the opposite partyhasis astonishing. EitherexplainedforDruid that the opposite partyworks forat leastisSky CircleGrandmasterDruidthatrank. GrandmasterDruidandSilver AllianceWizardleaderis similar, mustsay that Brando's subordinateshassuchpersonto exist, Pallasdoes not believe that thereforeheasked: „Ifmustmakesuch a forestin several months, how manyDruidneeds?”
对面能在短短时间内营造出这么大一片森林,要么说明对方拥有的德鲁伊数目惊人。要么说明为对方效力的德鲁伊至少是天空之环的德鲁伊大师那个级别的。德鲁伊大师和银色联盟的法师领袖差不多,要说布兰多手下有这样的人存在,帕拉斯不相信,因此他问道:“如果要在几个月内造出这样一片森林,需要多少德鲁伊?”„Severalmonths!?”wizardscreamed, almostwithoutturning aroundwalks: „Severalmonthscanbuildsuch a forest, at leastare betterseveral thousandpeople of commonspellcastto be good.”
“几个月!?”巫师尖叫了一声,差点没掉头就走:“几个月能营造出这样一片森林,起码要好几千人共同施法才行。”„Several thousandpeople? Thisis impossible, the rebel armyaltogetherdoes not haveseveral thousandpeople.”Has the Knightrebuttalto say.
“几千人?这不可能,叛军总共都没有几千人。”有骑士反驳道。„Thatexplainedin the opposite partyhandto haveGrandmasterDruidto exist, a link that or30High Druidcomposed, the linkwas the unit of Druidsuse, link that 30High Druidcomposedalreadynot inferiorin a truearmy.”wizardrepliedgloomy.
“那就说明对方手上有德鲁伊大师存在了,或者说有三十名大德鲁伊组成的一个环,环是德鲁伊们使用的单位,三十名大德鲁伊组成的环已经不逊色于一支真正的军队了。”巫师阴沉地答道。„Thisis not right, the opposite partywants is so strong, do theyalsowithsit waiting for deathhere?”
“这也不对,对方要有这么强,他们还用在这里坐以待毙?”„Is thisforestpossibleisIllusion spell?”Pallasinterrupts the dispute, askedwithsomeoneselfonlymagicknowledge. Thatwizardactuallyalsothought ofthis point, buthehas not opened the mouthwith enough time, nearbyadjutantshakes the head.
“这片森林可不可能是幻术?”帕拉斯打断争执,用自己仅有的些许魔法知识问道。那巫师其实也想到了这一点,但他还没来得及开口,一旁的副官就摇了摇头。„Oursoldiershave tried, at leastfrontthesecompletelyreal.”
“我们的士兵已经试过了,至少前面这些全部都是真的。”„Riversidetenseveralli (0.5 km), arefronttheseare not merely simple.” After wizardlistened, shakes the head.
“沿河十数里,仅仅是前面这些已经不简单了。”巫师听了之后,摇了摇头。„Canuse the fire attack?”Somepeopleasked.
“能用火攻吗?”有人问道。„The opposite partyhasso manyDruid, namely the usefire attack can also easilysuppress, do not forget, theyare the protectors of forest, incoping with the fireis much more skilled than you.”wizardreplied.
“对方有这么多德鲁伊,即使用火攻也能轻易扑灭,不要忘了,他们是森林的守护者,在对付火上比你们熟练得多。”巫师答道。„In brief, no matter howsaidfirsttries,”Pallascalmlydiddecided: „Makes the soldierpreparefire arrows, makes a probeto attack. No mattersucceeds, is pitching campsame place, making the Knightpreparation of Grizzly Bear Shirestartto cut trees down.”
“总之,不管怎么说先试试,”帕拉斯不动声色地作了决定:“让士兵准备好火箭,作一次试探进攻。不管成不成功,都在原地扎营,让灰熊领的骑士准备开始砍树吧。”
...... The Radnorarmyhas moved.
……让德内尔大军已动。
A row of soldierappears the figurefrom the forest, wears the greyish-greenbattle dress, grasps the shield, the long sworddon'tagainwaist. The followingthreerowslift the longhalberd, the lanceare hanging the longgreypennantsharp.
一排士兵从森林中显出身形,身穿灰绿色的战袍,手持盾牌,长剑别再腰间。后面三排举着长戟,矛尖挂着长长的灰色三角旗。NorthTrentheimhasthreeconnectedknight's shire, Pallas'family emblemis the hunting dog, Lourie'sfamily emblemis the grizzly bear, butfamily emblem of Cruegentlemanis the silverfull moon, on the flag that thereforethis momentoppositethesesoldiersset upisfull moons.托尼格尔以北有三个相连的骑士领,帕拉斯的家徽是猎犬,罗利的家徽是灰熊,而克鲁士的家徽是银色的圆月,所以此刻对面那些士兵们立起的旗帜上就是一面面圆月。„Ialsothink that the followingsuchbigforestcandauntthem.”Cielshakes the head, althoughDruidscontributed the preciousmagicseed, was almost the day and nightcompletedthisdefense linecontinuous, butin the timeafter allwaswithout enough time. Thisforestactuallyonly thenarrives at a fortressdistanceis the genuinevirgin forest, followingisheusesIllusion spellto make.
“我还以为后面这么大片森林会吓住他们。”夏尔摇摇头,虽然德鲁伊们贡献出了宝贵的魔法种子,几乎是日夜不休地完成了这道防线,但时间上毕竟还是来不及。这片森林其实只有到堡垒则一段距离是真正的原始森林,后面的都是他一个人用幻术制造出来的。Forwardsfrom the soldier who the Cruegentlemangetsslowly, whattheirtwowingsfollowis a troopin rags, is throwing overthickleather armor, grasps the Barbarian Tribemountain people of advantageaxeandroundshield, threearmieshave forded the river waterfrom the shoalslowly, approached the Grisferry spotshortly.
来自克鲁士领的士兵徐徐向前,他们两翼跟上的是一大群衣衫褴褛,披着厚实的皮甲,手持利斧与圆盾的蛮族山民,三支军队从浅滩缓缓涉过河水,眼看就逼近了格里斯渡口。„How did Lord Thanesay?”Cielraises the hand, is preparingto order.
“领主大人怎么说?”夏尔举起手,正准备下令。„‚Isnoble that somefirst-ordertroop typedo not arrive atholds the shieldinfantryandlongpoints at somebody, solvedto be goodcasually, served a needto ask for instructionstome? Stupid!’”Medissaimitates the Brando'stoneto reply.
“‘不过是些连1阶兵种都不到的贵族持盾步兵与长戟手,随便解决掉就好了,用得着向我请示吗?蠢!’”梅蒂莎模仿布兰多的口气答道。„First-ordertroop type? Whatgadget is that?”Cieleyebrowwrinkledtoquicklywenttogether, oneselfthisLord Thanehas likedsaying that probablysomestrangewords, whatlvupwhenRydenburgprevioustime the theory of thatwrap/setshehas not made clearto the present, whatthingnowthisfirst-order is troop type?
“1阶兵种?那是什么玩意儿?”夏尔眉毛都快皱到一块儿去了,自己这位领主大人好像一直喜欢说些奇怪的话,上次在里登堡时那套什么lvup的理论他到现在都还没搞清楚,现在这个1阶兵种又是什么东西?Howeverat this timehehad thoughtwithout enough timeso many, because of the infantryback row of Cruegentleman, Radnorarcherrows , the longbowman of theseprocessspecialist training is Pallaselitehand/subordinate. Theygrasp the long bow, delimited a Tugouwitharrow(s)on the ground, unties the leather bag of waistto pourinsideliquidinTugouconveniently.
不过这个时候他已经来不及想这么多了,因为克鲁士的步兵后排,让德内尔的弓箭手一排排走了出来,这些经过专业训练的长弓手无一不是帕拉斯手下的精锐。他们手持长弓,用箭矢在地上划了一条土沟,顺手解开腰间的皮囊将里面的液体倒在土沟中。„Is the oil, fire arrows!” The Silver Elf Princessfacial colorchanges.
“是油,火箭!”银精灵公主面色一变。Fire Dragonignitesin the forest, the humansoldierhas held up the long bowat this moment, on the long bowharnessedis burning the longarrow.

一条火龙在森林中燃起,人类士兵已经此刻已经纷纷举起了长弓,长弓上驾着燃烧着的长箭。随着森林中一声号令,弓弦齐齐颤鸣-下一刻,森林中几乎所有人都看到一片火云飞上了天空,将半空映成一片血红,然后火云在最高处一停,劈头盖脸地砸了下来。„fire arrows!”
“火箭!”With a scream, fire arrowswhistlingmakes noise, bang bangpangpangpounded the forest, fortunately the treescoversandmostarrow(s)were preventedby the treetopbranchextremely, fewpartspenetrated the slitto fall into the mercenarycamp.
伴随着一声尖叫,火箭呼呼作响,砰砰乓乓地砸进了森林,所幸树木极为茂密、大部分箭矢都被树冠枝桠所阻挡,只有少部分透过缝隙落入雇佣兵的营地之中。
The direct kill that fire arrowscreatesalmostdoes not have, on the Pallasface that but the distant placeobservesalmostdoes not have a expression, whatheand othersis the lingeringeffect, andquickmustbe able to see.火箭造成的直接杀伤几乎没有,但远处观战的帕拉斯脸上几乎没有一丝表情,他等的是后续效果,并且很快就要看得到了。

长弓手们正举起长弓,第二波火箭也已箭在弦上了。
