Did Troll really dispatch troops?” 柯林心中一动:“哦？巨魔真的出兵了？” Charles vowed solemnly that said: „Absolutely true! Viscount Angelie, this Troll sends out 100,000 armies to go south, it can be said that found time the family property thoroughly, now the Troll empire defense basically exists in name only, so long as you lead a elite cavalry, can capture Troll Royal City easily, establishes rare achievement!” 查尔斯信誓旦旦地说道:“千真万确！安格列子爵,这次巨魔派出十万大军南下,可以说是彻底抽空了家底,现在巨魔帝国内部的防御基本上是形同虚设,您只要率领一支精锐骑兵,就能轻而易举地攻下巨魔王城,立下不世之功！” Saw Colin still in hesitant, Charles urged again: „Viscount Angelie, I know that you obtained the aid of half elf kingdom, has the silver moon guard to help you guard Ice Rock City, even if transferred rode the army black, did not need to be worried that rear area was not steady, such being the case, why did not bet one with me together!” 见柯林仍在犹豫,查尔斯再次劝道:“安格列子爵,我知道您得到了半精灵王国的援助,有银月卫队帮您守卫冰岩城,哪怕调走了黑骑军,也不用担心后方不稳,既然如此,为何不与我一同赌一把呢！” Colin is showing the whites of the eyes at heart, the secretly thought you are certainly willing to bet, the gambling stake does not need you to leave in any case. 柯林在心里翻了个白眼,暗道你当然愿意赌一把,反正赌注不用你出。 „Charles, although your strategy truly lets my heart movement, but I must ask for instructions duke Sir.” “查尔斯,虽然你的计策确实让我心动,但我还是要请示公爵大人。” „Such without enough time!” Charles somewhat worries, „Viscount Angelie, before I embarks, the Troll army has sent out, if you asked for instructions to Winterfell City again, this came, perhaps Troll has approached Ice Rock City, by that time, how did you also divide forces to sneak attack Troll Royal City again?” “那样就来不及了！”查尔斯有些着急,“安格列子爵,我出发前,巨魔大军就已经出动,如果您再向凛冬城请示,这一来一回,恐怕巨魔已经逼近冰岩城了,到那时候,您还怎么再分兵偷袭巨魔王城？” „Doesn't gold/metal lion regiment have three army forts in the frontline? Can't delay the Troll army?” “金狮军团在前线不是还有三座军堡吗？难道不能拖延一下巨魔大军？” army fort that Colin said that was actually initially in Vera's coming of age, Gonben Prince gives to three army forts of Duke St. Hilde. 柯林所说的军堡,其实就是当初薇拉的成年礼上,冈本亲王献给圣希尔德公爵的三座军堡。 Troll Royal City was surrounded by Snow Mountains, can for the army general main road, only then three, but these three army forts, just set up in the critical positions of these three channels. 巨魔王城被雪山山脉环绕,能够供大军通行的主要通道只有三条,而这三座军堡,刚好设立在这三条通道的要害位置。 „Viscount Angelie, you know how many gold/metal lion regiment does have to garrison in these three army forts?” On Charles face exudes the thick helpless color. “安格列子爵,您知道金狮军团在这三座军堡中有多少驻军吗？”查尔斯脸上泛起浓浓的无奈之色。 „How many?” “多少？” „3000.” “三千。” „Three army forts a total of 3000?” “三座军堡总共三千？” „Yes. Moreover overwhelming majority are the recruits.” “是的。而且绝大部分都是新兵。” Colin speechless, such important military important place, the gold/metal lion regiment sent such person unexpectedly, did this possibly keep off the Troll army? 柯林一阵无语,这样重要的军事要地,金狮军团竟然才派驻了这么点人,这怎么可能挡得了巨魔大军？ It is not right! 不对！ Colin realized suddenly, these three army forts are very likely are given up by Duke St. Hilde intentionally. 柯林忽然意识到,这三座军堡很有可能是被圣希尔德公爵故意放弃的。 First, the gold/metal lion regiment needs to focus on coping with internal rebellion, perhaps is also Duke St. Hilde wants to tempt intentionally Troll...... 一来,金狮军团需要集中力量对付内部的叛乱,二来,恐怕也是圣希尔德公爵故意想要将巨魔引诱出来…… According to this logic...... 这样说来…… „Sorry, Charles, without the duke Sir's order, I will not dispatch troops.” Colin's attitude suddenly becomes exceptionally strong. “抱歉,查尔斯,没有公爵大人的命令,我是不会出兵的。”柯林的态度忽然变得异常强硬。 Charles looks at the Colin firm look, after long time, finally heaves a deep sigh saying: „Did Colin, what you guess correctly?” 查尔斯看着柯林坚定的眼神,半晌后终于摇头叹息道:“柯林,你是不是猜到了什么？” Colin also smiled: „Charles, should you see duke Sir?” 柯林也笑了:“查尔斯,你应该见过公爵大人了吧？” This time Charles had not denied, the nod said: „Yes, since to this situation, I were also open about the facts you. This sneak attack plan, is the father is actually formulated.” 这次查尔斯没有否认,点头道:“是的,既然到了这个地步,我也不瞒你了。这次的偷袭计划,其实是父亲制定的。” Really! 果然！ In Colin heart sneers, Duke St. Hilde really wants to use him. 柯林心中冷笑,圣希尔德公爵果然想要利用他。 But under current situation, if also wants to depend on Charles several provocative and these illusory merits, wants to make him dispatch troops, that was also too naive. 但在当前的局势下,如果还想靠着查尔斯几句煽动性的话和那些虚无缥缈的功绩,就想让他出兵,那也太天真了吧。 Colin understands certainly, oneself must dispatch troops, not only this because of Duke St. Hilde order, because of the Troll army, once the approaching northern boundary, Ice Rock City will truly possibly become the goal of bearing the brunt. 柯林当然明白,自己必须出兵,这不光是因为圣希尔德公爵的命令,而是因为巨魔大军一旦逼近北境,冰岩城确实非常可能会成为首当其冲的目标。 However, Duke St. Hilde do not think that anything does not pay, makes Colin work for him. 但是,圣希尔德公爵别想什么都不付出,就让柯林为他效力。 „Charles, since is duke's order, I will certainly not comply with. However, I dispatched the Winterfell City envoy to wait for both months not to obtain the interview of duke, such behavior, really made me fearful.” “查尔斯,既然是公爵的命令,那我当然不会不遵从。但是,我派往凛冬城的使者可是已经等了两个多月都没有得到公爵的接见,这样的行为,实在让我心寒啊。” „Viscount Angelie, the father knows certainly that you want to request to marry Vera, regarding this wedding, he actually approves. Therefore, so long as you are willing to dispatch troops to sneak attack Troll Royal City, he will certainly receive your envoy!” “安格列子爵,父亲当然知道您想要求娶薇拉,对于这件婚事,他其实是认可的。所以,只要您愿意出兵偷袭巨魔王城,他一定会接见您的使者！” „? Has duke Sir really said like this?” “哦？公爵大人真的这样说过？” „Naturally, I take an oath to you in the name of St. Hilde family sacred ancestor! So long as you can command the army to break through Troll Royal City, Vera will certainly marry into the Angelie family!” “当然,我以圣希尔德家族神圣祖先的名义向您起誓！只要您能够率军攻破巨魔王城,薇拉一定会嫁入安格列家族！” Colin is staring at Charles's eyes, after long time, finally nods: 柯林凝视着查尔斯的眼睛,半晌后终于点了点头: „Good! After three days, I will dispatch troops, attack Troll Royal City!” “好！三日后,我会发兵,进攻巨魔王城！”
