这据说是和克鲁兹帝国境内发生的变故有关,从黑月坠亡以来,贸易就开始大幅度减少。但还好有娜迦们的帮助,至少保证了通往艾尔兰塔与那泽尔的航线仍旧是畅通的。Butthiswas not any goodnews, the Fir Tree Shirearmyhad left for the north, listening to the family/home the letter saying that MinteyeandOlderhave startedto evacuatetosouth, crossed the Griessriver, now the refugeesgatheratFir Tree Shire, somegatheredGris, in the winter, had not as if returned tothesetimes before Year of Flourishing Blossom and Summer Leaf.
但这也不算什么好消息,冷杉领的军队已经开赴了北方,听家里来信说,敏泰与奥尔德都已经开始向南撤离,越过了格尔斯河,如今难民们在冷杉领聚集,有一些汇聚到格里斯,严冬未过,仿佛又回到了繁花与夏叶之年前的那些时候。Wheneverat these times, Captaincannot bearfondly rememberLord Thanespeciallyalso in territory.
每当这些时候,队长就忍不住特别怀念起领主大人还在领地之中的时候。Recentlyin the territorystartedto spreadaboutHer Highness the Princess and Miss Adviser not goodrumor, describedthesetwowomento usurp the Lord Countpositionvividly, althoughCaptainfeltveryunfounded, lets the personto seeMissAmandinato be loyal and devotedtoLord Thane's.
最近领地内开始流传有关于公主殿下与幕僚小姐不好的流言,绘声绘色地描绘这两个女人篡夺了伯爵大人的位置,虽然队长对此感到十分无稽,任人都看得出来安蒂缇娜小姐对领主大人的忠心耿耿。Howeverhealsofelt , since Lord Thaneleaves, Trentheimdayindeedday by daysad, thisis perhaps relatedwith the Southern Territoryturbulence, butmakespeoplebe hardtothatHer Highness the Eldest Princessabilityto have the trust.
不过他也感到自从领主大人离开之后,托尼格尔的日子的确一天比一天难过,这或许和南境的动荡有关,但却让人难以对那位长公主殿下的能力产生信任。Suchdaymadehim worry in a hurry, althoughfighting for power and profit of nobleandroyal familyhad no relationswiththeirtheseAouine'sfloors, buthad no Trentheimpersonto be willingto return.
这样的日子令他感到忧心匆匆,虽然贵族与王室的争权夺利与他们这些埃鲁因的底层没有什么关系,但没有任何一个托尼格尔人愿意回到过去。„Captain, Iheard that the northernthatarmyis the monster?”Whistles the inside the toweryoungestsentryto stare in the darkness the dark redflame, in the darkeyealsoonegroup of flames, helooks atthumpthump the loudteapotcoverprobably, suddenlysaid.
“队长,我听说北方的那支大军都是怪物呢?”哨塔里年纪最小的哨兵盯着黑暗中暗红色的火苗,黑沉沉的眼睛里好像也有一团火光,他看着咕咚咕咚响的茶壶盖子,忽然说道。„Do not talk nonsense, whatmonster where comes?”
“别瞎说,哪来的什么怪物?”„Ilistened to a merchant saying that hefrom the north, heardnorthernthesemaster noblescolluded withdemon. KilledEldest Prince, whyotherwise can theyproject onhere? Eldest Princehas settled a disputewithusobviously.”
“我听一个商人说的,他从北方来的,听说北方的那些贵族老爷们勾结魔物。杀死了王长子,不然他们为什么要打到这里来?王长子明明已经和我们讲和了。”Captainstaredhisoneeyes: „Nonsensical talk.”队长瞪了他一眼:“无稽之谈。”Howeverinheequallyis troubled, Ampere Searlas iftrulyhad the slaughter. Arrives at the merchants who hereseeks asylumto be terrifiedfrom the north, since themsomepeoplespokethatfightvividly. The scenecannot withstandfrigidly.
不过他内心中同样感到不安,安培瑟尔似乎确实发生了屠杀。许多从北方来到这里避难的商人们都惶惶不安,他们中有些人绘声绘色地讲起那场战斗。场面惨烈不堪。Butsuchrumoralsoaggravated the Trentheimtense atmosphere.
但这样的流言也加重了托尼格尔的紧张气氛。
The youngsentryadded a branchto the stove, in the flameblows outonegroup of sparks, healsoasked: „Captain, yousaid that SirNemesiscanwin?”
小哨兵加了一根树枝到灶中,火焰里爆出一团火花,他又问道:“队长,你说尼玫西丝大人能不能赢?”„Naturally, youare speakingwhatbullshit!”Captainrepliedill-humoredly: „WehaveWhite Lion Guards, hasTroglodyte, the Buganianfleet, Aouinewhoisouropponents?”
“当然,你在说什么屁话!”队长没好气地答道:“我们有白狮卫队,有穴居人,还有布加人的舰队,埃鲁因有谁是我们的对手?”„Buteveryonelacks self-confidence. Youheard, Captain, heard that the rebel armiesalsohadBuganianto support.”
“可大家心里都没底呢。你听说了吗,队长,听说叛军们也有布加人撑腰呢。”„Buganianalsodividesmany, Ms.Nemesishad not said that involved in the rebellionisverysmall, whenotherBuganianresponded,theywere finished.”
“布加人也分很多支,尼玫西丝女士不说过了吗,参与叛乱的不过是其中很小的一支而已,等到其他布加人反应过来,他们就完蛋了。”„If by some chanceotherBuganianhave not responded,wefirstdid lose?”
“万一其他布加人还没反应过来,我们就先输了呢?”„Where do youcomeso manyidle talk?”Captaingavehimill-humoredly a violentchestnut: „Lostlost, the skywill not collapse, saidagainLord Thanehas not come back. Waits forLord Thaneto come back, thesefellowsare nothing!”
“你哪来那么多废话?”队长没好气地给了他一个暴栗:“输了就输了,天又不会塌下来,再说领主大人还没回来。等领主大人回来,这些家伙都算个屁!”Youngsentry‚oh’, grasps the headhastily. However the Captainwordsletin the sentry posttowerpeaceful the moment. Everyonestops the conversation, lookstothisdirection.
小哨兵‘哎哟’一声,连忙抱住头。不过队长的话却让哨塔中安静了片刻。所有人都停下交谈,向这个方向看过来。Yes, Lord Thanehas not come back.
是啊,领主大人还没有回来。Buthewill certainly come back.
但他一定会回来的。Trentheimeveryonestillremembers the Pallas'miracle, remembers that striving to turn the tide of Ampere Searl, thatis a changeimpossiblefor the man of possibility, anydifficultybeforehim seems a level road.托尼格尔的每一个人都还记得帕拉斯的奇迹,记得安培瑟尔的力挽狂澜,那是一个改变不可能为可能的男人,任何困难在他面前仿佛都是坦途。Thatisonetypenearlyin the blindconfidence.
那是一种近乎于盲目的信心。
A pī li pā lāsoundconveysfrom the roofsuddenly, everyoneraises head, saw that Hadrianrolledfrom the staircasescared shitless, falls into the followingfirewoodpile.
一阵噼里啪啦的声音忽然从楼顶上传来,所有人都抬起头,看到哈德良屁滚尿流地从楼梯上滚了下来,摔入下面的柴草堆中。„TeamandCaptain. Has the person!”
“队、队长。有人!”„Whatperson?”Captainalmoststoodinstantaneously, raised the teapotto fall oninsidetea the fire of high-piled firewood. ‚Scoffing’sparksdances in the air, the smogascends. Outsidepersonclosesimmediately. Severalsentrieshad taken down the crossbowfrom the rack.
“什么人?”队长几乎是瞬间站了起来,提起茶壶将里面的茶水倒在火堆上。‘嗤’一声火星飞舞,烟雾升腾而起。外面的人马上关上了门。有几个哨兵已经从架子上取下了十字弓。„Is, is......”Hadriansuppressesto blush, dances with joyis gesticulating.
“是、是、是……”哈德良憋红了脸,手舞足蹈地比划着。„****, Yougivemecalmlya little, is not the enemyraids,”Captaintrampled, „talks clearly, was the lackeys of rebel armycircles, if yes, wedidto be rottentheirbuttocks!”
“****,你给我冷静一点儿,不就是敌袭吗,”队长一脚踹了过去,“说清楚,是不是叛军的狗腿子绕过来了,如果是,我们就去干烂他们的屁股!”„N-n-no,”Hadrian, tumbledto crawl, gesticulatedwas saying: „Is is...... isLord Thane!”
“不、不、不是,”哈德良,连滚带爬地爬了起来,比划着说道:“是是是是……是领主大人!”„What?”
“什么?”Captainalmostthinksoneselfmisunderstood.队长差点以为自己听错了。Butat this time, outsidegatebangwas hit, coming inremains outside sentry, two peopleareonedamnlook. Butinthembehind, is followingto grasp the longhalberd, is gripping the longponytailwoman.
但正是这个时候,外面的门嘭一声被撞开来,进来的正是留守在外面的哨兵,两人都是一副见了鬼的神色。而在他们身后,正跟着走进来一位手持长戟,扎着长长马尾的女士。

The sleet of winteris ice-cold, butsheonlythrew over a shawloutside the armor, evenrejected the fursleeveless jacket. Comes from the Fir Tree Shirearmy the ferry spot, butthesearmyquantitiesare small, in whichmain forceWhite Lion Guardsthirdbattalionstationed inGriess.
冬日的雨雪冰冷刺骨,但她不过只在盔甲外面披了一层披肩而已,甚至拒绝了毛皮坎肩。来自于冷杉领的军队正在度渡口,但这些军队数量很少,其中的主力是驻扎于格尔斯的白狮卫队第三大队。„Don't youreallyneedtake awayTroglodyte and fleet? Before MissAmandinaleaves, has toldme, when necessary, Icanbe authorizedValhallapartforyour.”Light SpiritMonicasaidinherside.
“你真不需要将穴居人和舰队带去吗?安蒂缇娜小姐离开之前告诉过我,如果有必要,我可以将瓦尔哈拉的一部分授权给你的。”光灵莫妮卡在她身边说道。White Reedshakes the head: „Thisis onlytoshield the Minteyelead(er)retreats, withrebel armydecisive battle.”白葭摇了摇头:“这只是为了掩护敏泰领撤退而已,并不是要与叛军决战。”„Thenwhattimeis the besttime?”
“那么什么时机才是最好的时机呢?”„Actuallyat leastwaited forusto ravel the opponentis.”
“至少等我们弄明白了对手究竟是谁。”„Not is only Buganian?”
“不仅仅是布加人吗?”White Reednodded.白葭点了点头。
Since thismonth, the news of disaster of snow-capped mountainhas seemed like the plagueto spreadfinallyequallyoncontinent.
这一个月以来,白山之灾的消息终于像是瘟疫一样在大陆上蔓延开来。Buganianwithdrew from the discussion the newsto vibrateentireVaundefromFour Borders Plain, butundeadandWind Elf'salsothereforeintensifiedcontradictory. ButAouinianactuallyhas no timeto pay attention totheseto be away fromtheyalsoveryremotematter, Eldest PrinceLevineOrnesonloses the whereaboutsnear the pelicanfort, was almost overnight, thencausesto have the northern noblesrestless emotion.布加人从四境之野退出会谈的消息震动了整个沃恩德,而亡灵与风精灵的矛盾也因此而激化。但埃鲁因人却无暇关注这些距离他们还很遥远的事情,王长子列文・奥内森在鹈鹕堡附近失去下落,几乎是一夜之间,便引起发了北方贵族的不安情绪。Buttheyhave not expressed the one's ownprotestwith enough time. A starthas then commanded an army to march southin the Swallowburgmysteriousarmy. Withinhalf a month, itconnectedto attack and captureCorcova, GreymountandSifahmerely, andsieged the AouinenavyandWhite Lion LegioninYanilasandBaltarespectively.
但他们还没来得及表示自己的抗议。一支发端于燕堡的神秘军队便已经挥师南下。仅仅在半个月之内,它就连接攻克了科尔科瓦、灰山与西法赫,并将埃鲁因海军与白狮军团分别围困于雅尼拉苏与巴尔塔。ArrivedMonth of Hibernationin middle ten days. Thisarmythenalreadysoldiernear the Ampere Searlcityunder.
到沉眠之月中旬。这支军队便已经兵临安培瑟尔城下。Butat this time, no onehas thought that greyWizard of Sasaarlandpersonwill tear upHoly Covenantunexpectedlyblatantly. Meddlesto intervene in the civil war of mortalstate. Thereforeunder the Buganianbackpromotes, the Radnorcivil strifeerupts.
而正是这个时候,谁也不曾想到萨萨尔德人的灰法师竟会公然撕毁神圣盟约。插手干涉凡人国度的内战。于是在布加人的背后推动之下,让德内尔内乱爆发。LantolianandRadnor a Silmantransportation and communicationinterrupthencecompletely, butlostrearAmpere SearlandVladaleadsalsoto announceone after anotherfalls into enemy hands.兰托尼兰、让德内尔以至于西尔曼一线的交通与通信至此完全中断,而失去了后方的安培瑟尔与弗拉达领也相继宣告失守。Her Highness the PrincessandLittle Princelost the contact, disappears without a word, White Lion Legionfirstbrigadededicatedto completetheirresponsibilityinAmpere Searl, secondbrigadewas also stoppedinVladaother aspectSifah, butRoyal Academy Knightssuffered the disastrous defeatinVlada.公主殿下与小王子失去了联系,音讯全无,白狮军团的第一纵队在安培瑟尔尽忠职守完成了他们的职责,第二纵队还被阻拦在弗拉达另一面的西法赫,而王立骑士团则在弗拉达遭遇惨败。Probably the time of a blink, White Reeddiscoveredoneselfmustisolatedlyfacingthisall these.
好像是一眨眼的功夫,白葭发现自己就要孤立无援地面对这这一切。Stop press that sheobtains. soldier/weaponfrontaboutthatmysteriousarmycrossesVlada-Pace, points to the TrentheimnorthernfortPallas'fact.
她得到的最后消息。是关于那支神秘大军的兵锋越过弗拉达—佩斯,直指向托尼格尔北方的要塞帕拉斯的事实。White Reedunderstands,Pallas'falls to the enemy the issue in time, Brandoneverhas also arrangedtruedefenseinthatdirection. The core of Trentheimdefense line, hasalsoonlyhasValhalla.白葭明白,帕拉斯的沦陷也不过时间上的问题,布兰多从未在那个方向上布置过真正的防御。托尼格尔防线的核心,有也仅有瓦尔哈拉。But does Valhallareallytake advantagesufficiently?
但瓦尔哈拉是否真的足以依仗呢?Asthatarmygoes southwith the confluence of Radnorrebel army, makingWhite Reedgraduallysee clearly the entireeventbackoutline.
随着那支大军南下与让德内尔叛军的合流,让白葭逐渐看清了整个事件背后的轮廓。Althoughsomepeoplevowed solemnly that claimednorthernnobles and devilcollude, others thinkthatis from Swallowburg the rebel army of usurper, evenis also spreading all sorts ofhearsay of relatedKirrlutzianschemes and tricks.
虽然一些人信誓旦旦地声称北方的贵族们与恶魔勾结,另一些人则认为那是来自于燕堡的篡位者的叛军,甚至还流传着有关克鲁兹人阴谋诡计的种种传闻。ButWhite Reedhas been ableto smellbehind the rebel army the aura——history of Sasaarlandallianceto start the duplicate/restoresaxle, the wizardwaris coming in time. Butinthiswarstillhas the third party the strength, thisdoes not tallywith the history that sheknows.
但白葭已经可以嗅出叛军背后萨萨尔德联盟的气息——历史开始复轨了,巫师战争正如期而至。但这场战争中还存在着第三方的力量,这与她所知的历史并不符合。
The essentialfactorlies inSwallowburg.
关键的因素在于燕堡。Thatstartin the Swallowburgmysteriousarmy.
那支发端于燕堡的神秘大军。InWhite Reedregarding the memory of thatdreamland. The Swallowburgto heronlymemory, is thatcrystalforest. IsCrystalline, shefelt that shehad found the third party above thisbattlefield. The Sasaarlandpersonhistoricallywas earlier than andDragon of Twilightforms an alliance.
在白葭对于那个梦境的记忆之中。燕堡对于她来说唯一的记忆,便是那片水晶森林。是晶簇,她感到自己已经找到了这个战场之上的第三方。萨萨尔德人比历史上更早与黄昏之龙结盟了。
But why will theywage a wartoonlyAouine?
但它们为什么会对区区一个埃鲁因大动干戈呢?White ReedthinkssuddenlyFreyabrings, theseBrando——Sophietake toherwords. Whatsecretundercould it be thatAouineis really hiding?白葭忽然想到了芙蕾雅带回来的,那些布兰多——苏菲带给她的话。难道说埃鲁因之下真的隐藏着什么秘密?Otherwisewhyitsoadvantageous? Shestillremembers that the nativefellto perish the same daydescriptionregardingBlack Moon, the light beam that shot up to the sky, makingAouinealmostsuffer the smallestlossinthatdisaster.
否则为什么它如此的得天独厚?她还记得当地人对于黑月坠亡当日的描述,那冲天而起的光柱,让埃鲁因在那场灾难之中几乎蒙受了最小的损失。„IfSophiewere here good.”White Reedcannot help butmuttered.
“要是苏菲在这里就好了。”白葭不由得喃喃道。Shedoes not knowhowoneselfmustbe ableto wininthiswar, inPallasoppositeis the Sasaarlandperson, heathenandTwilight'slackeyas well asSouthern Territoryrebel army, hugeallied armies that is almost impossibleto defeat.
她不知道自己要怎么才能够在这场战争之中取胜,在帕拉斯对面是萨萨尔德人、异教徒、黄昏的爪牙以及南境的叛军,一个几乎不可能战胜的庞大联军。Moreovershe also mustplace hopes inHer Highness the Princessto be able is well.
而且她还还得寄希望于公主殿下能够平安无事。„Do youlookveryawkward?”
“你看起来很为难?”„It is naturally awkward, the Aouine'sopponentneverestablishesfor the Sasaarlandpersonsuchlevelenemy, at leastnowis not.”
“自然很为难,埃鲁因的对手从来不是为了萨萨尔德人这样等级的敌人而设置的,至少现在不是。”„Wecanwith the aid ofthatflagstone that Miss Scarlettdelivers, Mr.Tamaritlendmeto usetemporarily. ItcantransportfarexceedsMana of MagiciteenginegroupMissAmandinaprovides, onlyrequiresagain the littletime. Icancomplete the lower-levelnetworksufficientto be able.”
“我们可以借助茜小姐送回来的那枚石板,塔玛先生已经暂时把它借给我用了。它可以输送远超过安蒂缇娜小姐提供的魔导引擎组的魔力,只需要再一点点时间。我就能完成下层网络的充能了。”Monicareplied: „By that time, wemayhaveenergysome. However the prerequisiteisMissNemesis. You must protect itselfgood, becauseat presentValhalla, only thenyouhad the maximumjurisdiction, ifyou, medid not havemeanscommandthisfortto battle.”莫妮卡答道:“到那时候,我们或许会更有底气一些。不过前提条件是尼玫西丝小姐。你必须得保护好自己,因为眼下瓦尔哈拉只有你才拥有最高权限了,如果你不在的话,我没办法指挥这座要塞作战。”„I will,”White Reedreplied: „Relax, thisactionis very safe, isshieldsMr.Letotheyto evacuatemerely. To be honest, Iam not willingto use the Valhallastrengthto be for different reasons, IamHer Highness the Princessperson, youshouldunderstand.”
“我会的,”白葭答道:“放心,这次行动很安全,仅仅是掩护雷托先生他们撤离而已。说实话,我不愿意动用瓦尔哈拉的力量另有原因,我是公主殿下身边的人,你应该明白的。”„Iam not quite clearyourhuman the idea,”Monicashakes the head: „Ialsosupportto fightdefense games, thisis much smallerto the consumption of World Tree.”
“我不太明白你们人类的想法,”莫妮卡摇了摇头:“不过我也支持打防御,这对世界树的消耗要小得多。”White Reednodded: „WithinthreedaysIshouldreturn, OberbeckCounthad confirmed the trend of rebel army, shouldenoughwinthreedays of us, even ifthere is any issue, I can still evacuateahead of time.”白葭点了点头:“三天之内我应该就会返回,欧弗韦尔伯爵已经确认过叛军的动向,应该足够为我们争取三天的时间,即使有什么问题,我也可以提前撤离。”„Let us hope so,”Monicaputs out a humansmallfingersizefrom the one's ownpocket the gem, both handsholdsitto giveFemale Knight saying: „Youbesttakethis.”
“但愿如此,”莫妮卡从自己的口袋中拿出一枚人类小指头大小的宝石,双手捧着它交给女骑士道:“不过你最好带上这个。”„Is the lifegem?”
“系命宝石?”„, Ifyouencounter the danger, I willfinds the wayto letWind ArcherorisTroglodyteaidsyou.”
“正是,如果你遭遇危险,我会想办法让风射手或者是穴居人来接应你。”White Reednodded.白葭点了点头。Shenoticed that the lastteam of soldiershave fordedriver bank, loosenbridle, clamped the barrelslightly, making the warhorse of sitting downstartstand forth. Shehas turned headto saytoMonica:
她看到最后一队士兵涉水过了河滩,一松马缰,微微夹紧了马腹,让坐下的战马开始向前走去。她回过头对莫妮卡说道:„Thenwishedourgood luck, Monica.”
“那么祝我们好运吧,莫妮卡。”Monicanodded, looks atFemale Knightto break in the curtain of rain.莫妮卡点了点头,看着女骑士冲入雨幕之中。
