Under the gorgeous sunset glow shines, group along flowing rapidly Henanan afloat to east. 艳丽的晚霞照耀下,一行人正沿着奔流河南岸顺流一路向东。 They walk very carefully, walks, while is cleaning up behind trace. 他们走得很小心,一边走,一边清理着身后的痕迹。 „Saari, you said that this can deceive Troll?” Bam is breathing heavily, is knocking the sore back, asked low voice. “萨尔,你说这样能骗过巨魔吗？”巴姆喘着粗气,敲着酸痛的后背,小声地问道。 „Does not know.” A Saari face anti- in addition does not disdain, „this you must ask Colin knight.” “不知道。”萨尔一脸不耐加不屑,“这个你要去问柯林骑士。” Bam does not certainly dare to go, he may not have the Saari that big courage, meets the aristocrat, he is like the normal civilians, back forever. 巴姆当然不敢去,他可没萨尔那么大的胆子,遇见贵族,他就跟正常的平民一样,腰杆子永远直不起来。 „Movement a bit faster, should not be loaf again!” Saari is urging the people. “动作再快点,别偷懒！”萨尔催促着众人。 The west end and Jing Lake of flowing rapidly river are connected, the river course is not wide, the water current is very anxious, therefore however acquires fame. 奔流河的西端与镜湖相连,河道不宽,水流很急,因此而得名。 However, the river character of Saari is very good, he is sizing up front flowing rapidly river, felt oneself cross should the issue is not big. 不过,萨尔的水性很好,他打量着面前的奔流河,觉得自己横渡过去应该问题不大。 Therefore, in this ambitious small mercenary eyes, flashes through mean suddenly. 于是,这位志向远大的小佣兵眼中,忽然闪过一丝阴狠。 ...... …… In moon/month tree top time, Saari leads his squad to converge with the large unit finally. 月上中梢的时候,萨尔率领着他的小队终于与大部队汇合。 He relaxes quietly. 他悄悄松了口气。 It seems like Colin has not deceived him, he does not abandon the child. 看来柯林并没有骗他,他不是弃子。 However, Saari not, therefore is grateful to Colin, instead looks that is standing in the knight who the shore and Vera are cheerful and lively, in the heart hates. 不过,萨尔并没有因此对柯林感恩戴德,反而看着正站在岸边与薇拉有说有笑的骑士,心中更加怨恨。 In his opinion, Colin arranges such a duty, since to not frame him, that for transfers certainly to a new job from Vera him. 在他看来,柯林安排这样一个任务,既然不是为了陷害他,那就一定是为了将他从薇拉身边调开。 Despicable knight! 卑鄙的骑士！ „Miss Vera, Colin knight, I have deferred to you saying that completed the task.” “薇拉小姐,柯林骑士,我已经按照您说的,完成了任务。” „Does well.” Colin pondered looked at Saari one. “干得不错。”柯林玩味地看了萨尔一眼。 Then points at front flowing rapidly river to ask: „You know that the speed of flow of this flowing rapidly river why so anxious?” 然后指着面前的奔流河问道:“你知道这段奔流河的流速为什么这么急吗？” Saari is sizing up the flowing rapidly river under moonlight, suddenly detected, here water current truly see in the upstream him must anxiously be quicker than! 萨尔打量着月光下的奔流河,忽然发觉,这里的水流确实要比他在上游看到的还要更急更快！ „Why?” In the Saari heart starts to raise a anxiety. “为什么？”萨尔心中开始升起一股不安。 Colin following the shape in flowing rapidly river, in in the air empty drew one „several” font: 柯林顺着奔流河的形状,在空中虚画了一个“几”字型: „Flowing rapidly river turned here greatly curved, the sedimentation accumulation, the river course stricts, the speed of water current naturally became quick.” “奔流河在这里拐了个大弯,泥沙淤积,河道变窄,水流的速度当然就变快了。” Colin referred to the downstream direction , to continue saying: „Moreover, after this sharp bend, the downstream also has a waterfall.” 柯林又指了指下游方向,继续道:“而且,这个急弯过后,下游还有一个瀑布。” „Waterfall?” Saari calls out in alarm makes noise, tonality already some distortions. “瀑布？”萨尔惊叫出声,音调已经有些变形。 „Right, waterfall.” Colin's smile somewhat ascertains airtight meaning, „dropping variance probably 70-80 meters. Too is not high, but also enough plunged to death the person.” “对,瀑布。”柯林的笑容有些捉摸不透的意味,“落差大概70-80米吧。不算太高,但也足够摔死人了。” A heart of Saari sinks downward. 萨尔的一颗心直往下沉。 „Therefore, we have no way to cross the river from this section of river course, right?” Vera felt suddenly oneself understood finally Colin's intention, then continues to say full of enthusiasm: “所以,我们根本没法从这段河道渡河,对吧？”薇拉忽然觉得自己终于理解了柯林的意图,便兴致勃勃地继续说道: „ Here river course looks like a pocket again in addition, packages us, passes in and out only then south road, simply is the hopeless situation! “再加上这里的河道像一个口袋,将我们都包裹起来,进出都只有南面一条路,简直就是绝境！ Troll definitely cannot think that we will hide in such a place, follows them unable to think that time we will break through to be the same to north unexpectedly! ” 巨魔肯定想不到我们会躲在这样一个地方,就跟上一次他们想不到我们竟然会向北突围一样！” „Intelligent!” Colin praised with a smile, „the most dangerous place was the safest place.” “聪明！”柯林笑着夸奖道,“最危险的地方就是最安全的地方。” Vera's big eyes bent the crescent moon, after Colin was exaggerating, she seemed to think that oneself military can have greatly enhanced. 薇拉的大眼睛弯成了月牙儿,被柯林夸张后,她似乎觉得自己的军事才能又有了大幅提高。 „But...... but the eventuality, Troll had not been swindled......” the voice of Saari somewhat to shiver. “但……但万一,巨魔没有上当……”萨尔的声音有些颤抖。 „This possibility is extremely low!” Colin was full of the profound meaning to look at Saari one, „, when they discovered you trace that forded after the upstream, definitely thinks that was the direction that we ran away, but all traces of directional this river bend, will actually be suspected therefore the arrange/cloth deceptive battle array.” “这个可能性极低！”柯林饱含深意地看了萨尔一眼,“当他们发现你们在上游渡河的痕迹后,必然会以为那才是我们逃窜的方向,而指向这处河湾的所有痕迹,却都会被怀疑是故布疑阵。” „Right!” Vera starts to teach the young mercenary patiently, „Troll will definitely think that we possibly so will be how silly, hide in a deathtrap. Therefore, when they after the wrong direction crosses the river the pursuit, we can from river bend safely walk, shifts runs to south!” “没错！”薇拉开始耐心教导小佣兵,“巨魔肯定会觉得我们怎么可能会这么傻,躲在一个死地。所以,等他们朝着错误的方向渡河追击后,我们就可以从河湾处安然走出来,转向向南跑啦！” Vera is very excited, felt oneself grasped the essence of war finally, then a face anticipated that looks to Colin, is seeking „teacher” approval. 薇拉很兴奋,觉得自己终于抓住了战争的精髓,然后一脸期待地看向柯林,寻求着“老师”的认可。 Colin is suppressing the happy expression, nods to express the applause seriously. 柯林强忍着笑意,一本正经地点头表示赞许。 But nearby Saari has actually looked deathly pale. 而一旁的萨尔却已经脸色惨白。 Fortunately this is in the night, no one notices this. 还好这是在深夜,没人注意到这点。 Except for Colin. 除了柯林。 „Saari mister, you time of on walking randomly, according to me said that has cleaned up the trace?” “萨尔先生,你们从上游走过来的时候,都按照我说的,清理过痕迹了吧？” „Naturally!” Saari loud say/way. “当然！”萨尔大声道。 His that reveals some feelings of performance of empty boasting actually being more exposed slightly in the having a mind person eyes. 他那稍显浮夸的表现在有心人眼里却有些欲盖弥彰的感觉。 But Colin as if letter/believed: „That is good, so long as does not leave behind the extremely obvious clue, should be able to deceive Troll.” 但柯林似乎就这么信了:“那就好,只要不留下太过明显的线索,应该能骗过巨魔。” ...... …… This evening, Saari tosses and turns, is unable to go to sleep. 这一晚,萨尔辗转反侧,根本无法入睡。 Want by starlight to travel several times, but Troll that is worried about to run upon to kill directly. 几次想要趁着夜色跑路,但又担心迎头撞上杀过来的巨魔。 Then also cursed Colin once for a while, complained how the opposite party found out such stupid countermeasure. 然后还时不时地诅咒柯林,埋怨对方怎么想出这么个愚蠢的对策。 A while starts to regret, regretted oneself initially riverside, but below time should not make these petty actions presumptuously. 一会儿又开始后悔,后悔自己当初沿河而下的时候不该自作聪明地去做那些小动作。 Naturally, then more often is thinking Vera's beautiful physique, was fantasizing can convince the opposite party, then she can lead him with the magic, crosses front natural moat, fled the place of this death, since then lived the happy life that on had no shame...... 当然,更多时候则是想着薇拉婀娜的身姿,幻想着自己能够能够说服对方,然后她可以用魔法带着他,越过面前的天堑,逃离这个死亡之地,从此过上没羞没臊的幸福生活…… „Saari, Saari!” “萨尔,萨尔！” „Had an accident?” Saari opens eyes blurry. “出什么事了？”萨尔迷迷糊糊地睁开眼。 Miss Vera in fantasy vanishes into thin air, is only left over Bam that to be black at present and ugly big face. 幻想中的薇拉小姐烟消云散,只剩下眼前巴姆那张又黑又丑的大脸。 „Ended, ended thoroughly! Troll discovered us, is turning around toward here!” “完了,彻底完了啊！巨魔发现我们了,正掉头往这边来！” Saari only feels the whole body to be icy cold, heart last also vanishes without the trace by luck. 萨尔只觉得浑身冰凉,心底最后一丝侥幸也消失无踪。 ----- ----- At this time in battalion's central tent, Vera, Breese, Colin sit facing each other. 此时营地中央的帐篷中,薇拉、布利斯、柯林三人相对而坐。 „Now, what to do should?” Vera is constraining the tone of shivering. “现在,该怎么办？”薇拉压抑着颤抖的语气。 Just felt oneself have grasped female Wizard of war essence, immediately in the staggering blow by reality struck back thoroughly the original form. 刚刚才觉得自己已经掌握了战争精髓的女法师,顿时就被现实中的这一闷棍给彻底打回了原形。 Colin is actually not flustered: „What situation does sentry post ride concrete that investigates is?” 柯林倒是毫不慌张:“哨骑探查到的具体是个什么情况？” Breese is still also calm: „Two wolf cavalry units, crosses Hebei in the upstream, another along river bank toward us.” 布利斯也依然镇定:“两支狼骑兵部队,一支在上游渡河北去,另一支则沿河岸往我们这边来。” „It seems like the enemy did not determine that we really hide here.” Colin smiles , asked that „how many people have toward that wolf cavalry who here did come?” “看来敌人也不确定我们是不是真的躲在这里。”柯林笑了笑,又问道,“往我们这儿来的那支狼骑兵有多少人？” „Probably seven and 800 people.” “大概七、八百人。” „What does that also wait for?” Colin hand one, „that hits!” “那还等什么呢？”柯林把手一摊,“那就打呗！” „But...... but......” in Vera eyes full is frightened. “可……可是……”薇拉眼中满是惶然。 Although here population are more, but must discuss the battle efficiency, even if Vera also knows, cannot compare the wolf cavalry who pursues absolutely. 己方这边人数虽然更多一些,但要论战斗力,哪怕薇拉也知道,是绝对比不上追过来的这支狼骑兵的。 Although the decision did not abandon the routed troop initially time, Vera completes the plan that went to generously. 虽然当初决定不抛弃溃兵的时候,薇拉是做好了慷慨赴死的打算。 However, afterward Colin's plan gave her to hope. 但是,后来柯林的计划又给了她希望。 If somewhat knew about the psychology, knows, person who actually a determination commits suicide, once were prevented by some factor temporarily, after even if that this hindrance factor vanishes, he was still very difficult to have the courage to go to again generously. 如果对心理学有些了解,就会知道,其实一个决心自杀的人,一旦被某种因素暂时阻止了,那么就算这个阻碍因素消失后,他也很难再鼓起勇气慨然赴死了。 Vera now is such psychology. 薇拉现在就是这么个心理状态。 She hesitated, fear. 她犹豫了,害怕了。 But the mentality of Breese knight such battle-trained veteran was much better, was still that desolate expression, in as if this world nothing can make him change countenance. 而布利斯骑士这样久经战阵的老将的心态就好多了,依然是那副冷淡的表情,仿佛这个世界上没有什么东西能让他动容。 Only listens to him to open the mouth to ask suddenly: 只听他忽然开口问道: „Does Colin knight, you expect the present situation from the beginning?” “柯林骑士,你是不是从一开始就预料到了现在的情况？”
