You do that might outsmart oneself very much, will draw on a disastrous defeat to the northern boundary!” “但战争不是儿戏。你这么做,很有可能会弄巧成拙,给北境招来一场惨败！” „Success, must always pay the price!” The look of Duke St. Hilde is exceptionally firm, „this time, I have completed preparation that ruins an army!” “成功,总是要付出代价的！”圣希尔德公爵的眼神异常坚定,“这一次,我已经做好了葬送一支军队的准备！” „What?” Marquis Garcia is panic-stricken, almost thinks own Elder Brother was insane. “什么？”加西亚侯爵惊骇莫名,差点以为自己哥哥疯了。 But Duke St. Hilde the serious expression does not seem like cracking a joke completely, only listens to him to continue saying: 但圣希尔德公爵严肃的表情完全不像是在开玩笑,只听他继续说道: „I asked you, if in the situation of no protection, rode the army black in the open country the Troll army who encountered net Peak, you somewhat did grasp the win?” “我问你,如果在毫无防备的情况下,黑骑军在野外遭遇冈比克的巨魔大军,你有几分把握取胜？” „If net Peak has not guarded, the castle that if the nearby cannot avoid , I have assurance very!” In the Marquis Garcia tone disclosed the intense self-confidence. “如果冈比克没有防备,如果附近没有可以躲避的城堡,那么,我有十分的把握！”加西亚侯爵的语气中透露出强烈的自信。 „Good! We come to accomplish the whole task at one stroke!” Duke St. Hilde pounds on the table layer on layer/heavily, said decisively, „ I have received Troll that enough these were haunted by the ghost, I must cut off them to enter the claw of northern boundary thoroughly! “好！那我们就来个毕其功于一役！”圣希尔德公爵重重地一拍桌子,断然道,“我已经受够了那些阴魂不散的巨魔,我要彻底斩断他们伸入北境的爪子！ Therefore, you get down, change Charles to come up. 所以,你下来,换查尔斯上去。 Makes him defeat, making net Peak realize taste that well wins. 就让他败一场,让冈比克好好体会一下胜利的滋味。 When Troll grab one after the northern boundary wantonly, naturally must have the property and glory returns to Troll Royal City. 等巨魔们在北境大肆劫掠一番后,自然要带着财物和荣耀返回巨魔王城。 At that time, you can lead to ride the army to pursue black, killed their one to be caught off guard! ” 那时候,你就可以率领黑骑军追上去,杀他们一个措手不及！” Marquis Garcia still brow tight wrinkle: „Even if you are willing to ruin an army, is still willing to give the Troll looting the north city, but, how you can guarantee, Troll when will return removes will not have the protection?” 加西亚侯爵依然眉头紧皱:“就算你舍得葬送一支军队,也舍得将北边的城池送给巨魔洗劫,但是,你又怎么能保证,巨魔在回撤的时候会毫无防备呢？” „This needed us to perform in a play.” “这就需要我们演一场戏了。” „How to develop?” “怎么演？” „ I transfer the frontline you, falls in the having a mind person eyes, definitely thinks that I start to dread to you. Therefore, you can also display at the right moment to my disaffection...... “我将你调离前线,落在有心人眼里,肯定会以为我开始对你有所忌惮。所以,你也可以适时表现出一些对我的不满…… Moreover, in that army that Charles ruins will have the lots of feudal lord private army, this will definitely arouse the northern boundary each family to my disaffection, when the time comes some people stir up again, can cause you to try easily to gather to be disgruntled the feudal lords, wants to resist my aspect. 另外,查尔斯葬送的那一支军队中会有大量的领主私军,这必然会激起北境各个家族对我的不满,到时候再有人煽动一下,很容易就能造成你试图聚集心存不满的领主们,想要对抗我的局面。 At this time, Troll will definitely feel us unable to take care of oneself, will not guard...... ” 这个时候,巨魔肯定会觉得我们自顾不暇,不会有所防备……” „Did you forget a key question?” Marquis Garcia hits to block the way suddenly. “你是不是忘了一个关键问题？”加西亚侯爵突然打断道。 „What issue?” “什么问题？” „Can I be really discontented with you?” Look twinkle of Marquis Garcia, „, if Charles really in the frontline disastrous defeat, ruins north one boundary army. When the time comes, does my black ride army no one to make?” “我会不会真的对你不满？”加西亚侯爵的眼神闪烁,“如果查尔斯真的在前线惨败,葬送一支北境大军。到时候,我的黑骑军岂不是更加无人能制？” Duke St. Hilde smiled suddenly: „You know that when Talos Uman to me proposed this strategy, I had also once considered, whether you will have the possibility of starting out insincerely but ending up seriously.” 圣希尔德公爵忽然笑了:“你知道吗,当塔洛斯・乌曼向我提出这个计策的时候,我也曾考虑过,你是否会有假戏真做的可能。” „Is this strategy that Count Uman proposed? Good, do you feel? Can I start out insincerely but end up seriously?” “这是乌曼伯爵提出的计策？好吧,那你觉得呢？我会不会假戏真做？” Duke St. Hilde does not have direct reaction this issue, but then the thread of conversation continued saying: „ At that time I am thinking, if Talos has not thought that you may start out insincerely but end up seriously this good. 圣希尔德公爵没有直接回答这个问题,而是接着自己刚才的话头继续说道:“当时我就在想,如果塔洛斯没想到你可能会假戏真做这一茬还好。 If he thought that actually left out intentionally did not say...... 如果他想到了,却又故意漏掉不说…… That, he is is extremely either confident to our sentiments, thought that we are impossible to quarrel, either, hides malicious intent under a fair countenance, the hypocrisy design copes with Troll, in fact is actually wants to provode the civil strife of northern boundary! ” 那要么,他就是对我们俩的感情极有信心,觉得我们不可能反目,要么,就是包藏祸心,假意设计对付巨魔,实际上却是想要引发北境的内乱！” Marquis Garcia gawked, later looks down the wine glass in hand, seems also pondering the true intention of Count Uman. 加西亚侯爵愣了一下,随后低头看着手中的酒杯,似乎也在思考乌曼伯爵的真正意图。 But Duke St. Hilde to oneself the younger brother more ponder time, had not said own idea directly: 但圣希尔德公爵没有给自己弟弟更多的思考时间,直接说出了自己的想法: „No matter Talos the Uman real intention is anything, but I know, you will not betray my.” “不管塔洛斯・乌曼的真实意图到底是什么,但我知道,你是不会背叛我的。” „Are you so self-confident?” The Marquis Garcia complexion is indifferent, „, when I have when strength that north can control the boundary situation, how you can affirm that I won't be seduced?” “你就这么自信？”加西亚侯爵面色冷漠,“当我拥有能够左右北境局势的力量时,你怎么能肯定我不会受到诱惑？” „You will certainly be seduced. But, the betrayal is only the loyal pricetag is insufficient. Therefore, I for your loyal increasing price!” “你当然会受到诱惑。但,背叛只是忠诚的价码不够而已。所以,我会为你的忠诚加码！” „additional what code?” “加什么码？” „After Charles defeats, will be eliminated the position of marquis.” “查尔斯战败之后,将会被剥夺侯爵之位。” „This?” “就这？” „Naturally continues.” Duke St. Hilde smiles , to continue saying that „Vera will inherit the position of this marquis!” “当然不止。”圣希尔德公爵笑了笑,继续道,“薇拉会继承这个侯爵之位！” The Marquis Garcia look concentrates. 加西亚侯爵眼神一凝。 He was finally excited. 他终于心动了。 But immediately, he feels deep puzzled: „To eliminate the threat of Troll, are you willing to pay such big price?” 但随即,他又感到深深的不解:“为了消除巨魔的威胁,你愿意付出这么大的代价？” „No. Not is only Troll this threat.” Duke St. Hilde shakes the head seriously. “不。不仅仅是巨魔这一个威胁。”圣希尔德公爵面色严峻地摇摇头。 „Also who?” “还有谁？” „Do you know north us the boundary now the biggest threat from where?” “你知道我们北境现在最大的威胁是来自哪里吗？” „Isn't Troll?” “难道不是巨魔？” Duke St. Hilde shakes the head again, sinking sound said: 圣希尔德公爵再次摇头,沉声道: „ The exterior threat will only make us more powerful, unites, will not beat us. “外部的威胁只会让我们更强大,更团结,并不会击垮我们。 Only then from internal threat, can corrode the St. Hilde family to rule the foundation truly the thing! ” 只有来自内部的威胁,才是真正能够腐蚀圣希尔德家族统治根基的东西！” Marquis Garcia gawked the moment, realized what own Elder Brother said is anything: „You said that these feudal lords of northern boundary?” 加西亚侯爵愣了片刻,才意识到自己哥哥说的是什么:“你是说,北境的那些领主们？” „Right!” Duke St. Hilde clenches jaws saying that „ you know under the St. Hilde nomen also how many do subordinate the territory? “没错！”圣希尔德公爵咬牙切齿道,“你知道圣希尔德家族名下还有多少直属领地吗？ You know how many years the family has been unable to make ends meet? 你知道家族已经多少年入不敷出了吗？ You know why I amn't willing to forbid with the Troll trade? 你知道我为什么一直不肯禁止与巨魔的贸易？ I do not know that this trade is actually supporting the enemy? 我难道不知道这种贸易其实就是在资敌？ But what means do I have? 但我有什么办法？ The family needs this profit! 家族需要这笔利润！ The seemingly entire north boundary is my, however, I actually link now confer a young Baron to hesitate again quite a while! 看起来整个北境都是我的,但是呢,我现在却连再册封一个小小男爵都会犹豫半天！ You! 还有你！ My good younger brother! 我的好弟弟！ You keep off Troll beyond the northern boundary, this naturally is the good deed. 你将巨魔挡在北境之外,这当然是好事。 However, this also blocked the new and old change of northern boundary feudal lord thoroughly! 但是,这也彻底阻断了北境领主的新旧更替！ Troll cannot force one's way into, some people because of not losing the territory were eliminated the title, therefore, the aristocrat of northern boundary are getting more and more, the land under family/home nomen are getting fewer and fewer! 巨魔打不进来,就不会有人因为丢失领地而被剥夺爵位,所以,北境的贵族越来越多,家族名下的土地却越来越少！ You always complain that I am not willing to seal to enjoy your active feudal official, but you do not think, I do seal with what? 你总是抱怨我不肯封赏你手下的有功之臣,但你也不想想,我拿什么来封？ Or I give you position of this duke! 要不我把这个公爵之位让给你！ You manage north manages the boundary! ” 你来管管这个北境！” Marquis Garcia sees the Elder Brother who the anger thrives, suddenly does not know should say anything. 加西亚侯爵看着怒气勃发的哥哥,一时间也不知道该说什么。 Silent, Duke St. Hilde on the face flashes through wipes not normal dark red, was caught by Marquis Garcia: „Elder Brother, your wound......” 沉默中,圣希尔德公爵脸上闪过一抹不正常的殷红,被加西亚侯爵捕捉到了:“哥哥,你的伤……” „Temporarily cannot die!” Duke St. Hilde gasps for breath, „, but also shortly after good work.” “暂时死不了！”圣希尔德公爵喘了口气,“但也没多久好活了。” The Marquis Garcia look is low-spirited. 加西亚侯爵神色黯然。 „ Younger brother , helping my time! “弟弟,帮我这一次！ All prices, all evil reputations, are undertaken by me! 所有的代价,所有的恶名,都由我来承担！ So long as you are willing to help me, the St. Hilde family can certainly the bath hot rebirth! 只要你肯帮我,圣希尔德家族一定可以浴火重生！ But this soon changed beyond recognition northern boundary, will hand over in your biological daughter hand! ” 而这个即将焕然一新的北境,也将交到你的亲生女儿手里！” Marquis Garcia has not spoken. 加西亚侯爵没有说话。 Duke St. Hilde is still staring at younger brother's eyes stubbornly, as if he does not comply, then does not give up. 圣希尔德公爵依然死死盯着自己弟弟的眼睛,仿佛他不答应,便决不罢休。 In the room fell into the long-time silence. 房间中陷入了长久的沉默。 Only then in the fireplace hears the sound that the firewood burns out. 只有壁炉里传来木柴烧断的啪啪声。 Also has not known how long, Marquis Garcia heaved a deep sigh finally: 也不知过了多久,加西亚侯爵终于长叹一声: „Good, I help you.” “好,我帮你。”
