„East empire boundary?” “帝国东境？” Colin's brow wrinkled tightly. 柯林的眉头皱得更紧了。 He thinks clearly, why not to marry -and-a-half elf princes Vera, the scheme, is actually east the empire the boundary. 他想不明白,为什么将薇拉嫁给一个半精灵王子,图谋的,却是帝国东境。 As the small country of boundary of clip in the empire with eastern boundaries, half elf kingdom has vacillated, tries to keep the favor of both sides, but in Colin opinion, this small country does not seem like the keys of two boundary battles. 作为夹在帝国北境与东境之间的小国,半精灵王国一直都是左右摇摆,两边讨好,但在柯林看来,这个小国怎么也不像是两境争斗的关键啊。 As if saw Colin's puzzled, Gonben Prince asked with a smile: „Viscount, should you not understand the water battle?” 似乎看出了柯林的不解,冈本亲王笑着问道:“子爵阁下,您应该不懂水战吧？” Colin hears at heart uncomfortable. 柯林听得心里一阵不爽。 However, he also has to acknowledge, in the memory of predecessor truly nothing experience about water battle. 不过,他也不得不承认,前身的记忆中确实没有任何关于水战的经历。 In fact, the entire northern boundary almost does not have the sailors. 事实上,整个北境几乎就没有水军。 Until now, the northern boundary biggest enemy, is the Troll empire on icefield. 一直以来,北境最大的敌人,都是冰原上的巨魔帝国。 But the cavalry, copes with the Troll best branch of the services. 而骑兵,才是对付巨魔的最佳兵种。 Therefore , northern the cavalry of boundary has excelled by far the brilliance empire. 所以说,北境的骑兵一直都是冠绝光辉帝国的。 But the words of sailors, really some. 但水军的话,就实在有些拉垮了。 At this time heard Troll saying that duke in scheming the eastern boundary, Colin then thought, between the northern boundaries and eastern boundaries, were actually separated by the natural moat together. 此时听到巨魔说公爵在图谋东境,柯林这才想起来,北境和东境之间,其实是被一道天堑隔开的。 The name of this natural moat, gets angry the water river. 这道天堑的名字,就是怒水河。 Actually, the military powers of brilliance empire east, south, west, and north four boundaries are not balanced. 其实,光辉帝国东南西北四境的军事实力并非是平衡的。 At least, the northern boundary obviously wants strong in Dongjing. 至少,北境就明显要强于东境。 The reason is also very simple, northern boundary so many years have been fighting to keep with the Troll empire, but the eastern boundary, their old opponent elf clan has vanished in Radiant Moon Forest. 原因也很简单,北境这么多年一直在跟巨魔帝国斗个不停,而东境,他们的老对手精灵族早就消失在辉月森林中。 Also does not know that lived in seclusion, was the extermination of the clan. 也不知道到底是隐居了,还是灭族了。 No matter what, the eastern boundary is different from the northern boundary, they not pressure from alien race. 但不管怎么样,东境跟北境不一样,他们没有来自异族的压力。 Only then Yeville of Radiant Moon Forest border, there Wizard may be somewhat an eyesore. 只有辉月森林边境的耶维尔,那里的法师们或许会有些碍眼。 But is also an eyesore merely, Wizard are unable to organize the large-scale army, to the eastern boundary not too big threat. 但也仅仅是碍眼而已,法师们无法组织起大规模的军队,对东境并没有太大的威胁。 So long as the eastern boundary did not provoke anger them threw down casting a spell, both sides can also live in peace with each other, the peaceful coexistence. 只要东境不把他们惹急了乱扔禁咒,双方也还能相安无事、和平共处。 Therefore, the eastern boundary has over a hundred years not to have the large-scale war. 于是,东境已经有上百年没有发生过大规模的战争了。 But does not have the baptism of blood and fire, is not possible to forge the master of true oppressor. 而没有血与火的洗礼,是不可能锻造出真正的虎狼之师的。 Therefore, the peaceful for a long time eastern boundary, its military power in the brilliance empire, basically is sets the base. 所以,承平已久的东境,其军事实力在光辉帝国中,基本算是垫底的。 Is good must cope with the threat of Troll the northern boundary, the main military basically deploys on the north defense line, naturally cannot give the eastern boundary too tremendous pressure. 好在北境这边一直要应对巨魔的威胁,主要的兵力基本都部署在北方防线上,自然不会给东境太大的压力。 Even even/including Nushui river, has grasped in the hand of eastern boundary. 甚至连怒水河,也是一直都掌握在东境的手中。 But now, if Duke St. Hilde such as Gonben Prince said firmly, tries to bribe the eastern boundary, then, angry water river natural moat, became the biggest hindrance of northern boundary army. 而现在,如果圣希尔德公爵确如冈本亲王所说,试图染指东境的话,那么,怒水河这道天堑,就成了北境军队的最大阻碍。 „Right, I do not understand the water battle.” Colin nods to acknowledge, „that you said actually, what relations half elf kingdom does have with the water battle? I remember that the upstream in angry water river is not in half elf kingdom.” “没错,我是不懂水战。”柯林点头承认,“那你倒是说说,半精灵王国跟水战有什么关系？我记得怒水河的上游并不在半精灵王国境内吧。” „Yes, the angry water river truly is not in half elf kingdom. But the viscount, you know that what the first essential factor of water battle is?” “是的,怒水河确实不在半精灵王国境内。但子爵阁下,您知道水战的第一要素是什么吗？” Colin touches the chin, is searching in the memory all the combat example about water battle, after long time, uses not too definite tone saying: „Is a ship?” 柯林摸了摸下巴,搜索着记忆中所有关于水战的战例,半晌后用不太确定的口吻说道:“是船？” „Right! But the common boat is unable to assume the duty that the army crosses the river obviously, therefore, more specifically, Duke St. Hilde needed, was a powerful aquatic army.” “对！但一般的小船显然无法承担起大军渡河的任务,所以,更准确地说,圣希尔德公爵需要的,是一支强大的水上部队。” Colin looking pensive: „Is it possible that in half elf kingdom has powerful sailors?” 柯林若有所思:“莫非半精灵王国内有一支强大的水军？” Gonben Prince smiles, the complexion somewhat disdains: „Half elf kingdom really has the sailors, but depends on that sailors, it is estimated that will put in an appearance by the eastern boundary sailors extinguishing.” 冈本亲王笑了笑,脸色有些不屑:“半精灵王国确实有水军,但就凭那支水军,估计一个照面就会被东境水军给灭了。” Colin is not then clearer: „Why you said that half elf kingdom can marches the key of eastern boundary?” 柯林这下更不明白了:“那你为什么说半精灵王国会是进军东境的关键？” A branch that Gonben Prince picks up the ground, drew a simple map, simultaneously explained: 冈本亲王捡起地上的一根树枝,画了一个简易地图,同时解释道: „ This gets angry the water river, more than 7000 km in length, seems like the northern boundary army as if at the random point to cross the river. But in fact, this is not possible. “这是怒水河,全长7000多公里,看起来北境军队似乎可以在任意一点渡河。但实际上,这是不可能的。 The reason is we said a moment ago- ship! 原因就是我们刚才所说的-船！ The northern boundary army crosses the river to the shipbuilding, but the eastern boundary sailors are not silly, is impossible to look at the northern boundary helplessly in the angry water west of the river shore shipbuilding, but does not manage. 北境军队渡河必须造船,但东境水军又不傻,不可能眼睁睁看着北境在怒水河西岸造船而不管。 This time angry water river under eastern boundary control, therefore, the northern boundary is unable directly in getting angry the water river the shipbuilding. 此时的怒水河可是在东境控制下,所以,北境是无法直接在怒水河中造船的。 Therefore, the only choice of Duke St. Hilde, looks for rivers in the northern boundary, builds sailors. 于是,圣希尔德公爵的唯一选择,就是在北境境内找一条河流,打造一支水军。 However, this rivers do not elect casually. 但是,这条河流也不是随便选的。 After all is not possible to make the soldiers carry the ship to arrive at the angry water river from the land. 毕竟不可能让士兵们扛着船从陆地上走到怒水河。 Therefore, this rivers must with the angry water river link! 所以,这条河流必须要与怒水河联通！ At this time you flipped the northern position chart to discover again carefully, such rivers could not find in the northern boundary, but, they were too shallow were too narrow, is unable to make the steamship pass through. 这时您再仔细翻翻北境地图就会发现,这样的河流在北境并不是找不到,但是,它们都太浅太窄了,根本无法让大船通行。 However, in the angry water river upstream, has such rivers that satisfies the condition- crystal river. 但是,在怒水河上游,却有这样一条满足条件的河流-水晶河。 But this crystal river- ” 而这条水晶河-” Gonben Prince encircled a circle with the branch on the ground, selected layer on layer/heavily, sinking sound said: „In half elf kingdom!” 冈本亲王用树枝在地上圈了一个圈,又重重点了点,沉声道:“就在半精灵王国境内！” Hears here, Colin is suddenly enlighted. 听到这里,柯林才恍然大悟。 This crossed a river the combat with ancient China these north political power is a truth. 这就跟中国古代那些北方政权渡江作战是一个道理。 Colin looked at some the time doubts of history book, the Yangtze River is so long, where can't cross a river? 原本柯林看史书的时候就有一些疑惑,长江那么长,哪里不能渡江呢？ Why will the northern political power die to knock at how many points each time? 为什么北方政权每次都会在那几个点死磕？ Goes south like the Mongolian cavalries, why can attack Xiangyang? 就像蒙古铁骑南下的时候,为啥非要攻打襄阳？ If flips the map of China to discover, Xiangyang is not at the Yangtze River. 如果翻翻中国地图就会发现,襄阳根本就不在长江边上。 However, by it has another rivers- Han River. 但是,它旁边却有另一条河流-汉江。 Therefore, so long as seized Xiangyang, controlled the Han River. 所以,只要占领了襄阳,也就控制了汉江。 The Mongolians can the shipbuilding in the Han River, then go downstream to enter the Yangtze River. 蒙古人就能在汉江中造船,然后顺流而下进入长江。 This is the north political power goes south unable to go round the reason of this place each time. 这才是每次北方政权南下都绕不开这一个地方的原因。 Also has similar rivers lake in the Yangtze River downstream- Lake Chao. 在长江下游也有类似的河流湖泊-巢湖。 By Lake Chao is Hefei. 巢湖旁边就是合肥。 Therefore, in the past opened Liaoning guarded Hefei the time, Sun Quan slept on pins and needles, repeatedly dispatched troops to attack, finally made „grandson 100,000” illustrious prestige...... 所以,当年张辽镇守合肥的时候,孙权寝食难安,屡次发兵攻打,最终打出了“孙十万”的赫赫威名…… In brief, Colin understood the true intention of Duke St. Hilde at this time. 总之,柯林这时才明白了圣希尔德公爵的真正意图。 He marries Vera to half elf kingdom, wants to control crystal river taking this opportunity, thus builds sailors, goes downstream to enter the angry water river again, thus invades the eastern boundary. 他将薇拉嫁到半精灵王国,是想借此机会控制水晶河,从而打造一支水军,再顺流而下进入怒水河,从而入侵东境。 However, why does Duke St. Hilde want to worry to scheme the eastern boundary? 不过,圣希尔德公爵为什么要这么着急图谋东境？ Especially has the huge concealed worry in northern within the boundaries it the situation. 尤其是在北境内部本身就存在巨大隐忧的情况下。 Is the duke so definite own younger brother not to revolt? 难道,公爵就这么确定自己的弟弟不会叛变吗？ This question Colin can only press now temporarily in the heart. 这个疑问柯林现在只能暂时压在心底。 Immediately he has doubts, why does Gonben this fellow want to give itself to explain these? 随即他又疑惑起来,冈本这个家伙为什么要给自己解释这些？ To show off the knowledge merely? 难道仅仅是想卖弄学识？ Although is together these date and time, Colin also discovered that this Troll Prince is the fellow who a affection shows off, but he always thought that this opposite party should have other intentions. 虽然相处这些时日,柯林也发现这位巨魔亲王是个喜爱卖弄的家伙,但他总觉得这次对方应该还有其他意图。 „Why do you want to explain these to me?” Colin directly asked. “你为什么要跟我解释这些？”柯林直接问了出来。 Gonben Prince smiles: „Because I want you to know, the duke has not married me Vera, is not because I am inferior to that half elf pretty boy, because half elf Wang Guocai is north the next strategic target of boundary.” 冈本亲王嘿嘿一笑:“因为我希望您知道,公爵没将薇拉嫁给我,不是因为我不如那个半精灵小白脸,而是因为半精灵王国才是北境的下一个战略目标。” Colin hehe smiles. 柯林呵呵一笑。 Naturally has not believed this nonsense. 当然没信这种鬼话。 Gonben this politics lifeform may care about such face, for this minor matter did explain to Colin specially? 冈本这种政治生物怎么可能会在意这么点脸面,为了这点小事特意向柯林解释？ Also without and other Colin continued to taunt, Gonben Prince pulls out a badge to give Colin: 还没等柯林继续嘲讽,冈本亲王就掏出一枚徽章递给柯林: „ You, if needs anything to help in the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, can take this to go to the city west slave market to look for a merchant named Heath. “您如果在银月城需要什么帮助,可以拿着这个去城西的奴隶市场找一个名叫西斯的商人。 Perhaps he can make the trip of your half elf kingdom smoother! ” 或许他可以让您的半精灵王国之行更加顺利！” Colin received the badge, simultaneously in the heart believes firmly- 柯林接过徽章,同时心中确信- This Troll Prince really has something else planned! 这个巨魔亲王果然另有所图！
