The time passes quietly, unknowingly has entered in June. 时间悄然流逝,不知不觉已经进入六月。 Northern boundary short spring will soon conclude, the aura of summer is approaching. 北境短暂的春天即将收尾,夏日的气息正在逼近。 But before the summer arrives, Winterfell City first welcomed the dwarf army. 但在夏日降临之前,凛冬城首先迎来了矮人大军。 Meneux family and Dawson family about soldier one, total 150,000 armies, has arrived under Winterfell City at this time. 梅纳姆家族与道森家族合兵一处,共计十五万大军,此时已经抵达凛冬城下。 The armies meander to come, the flags are clear, the sword and spear stands in great numbers, is ordered, the morale is full, taking a quick look around truly is a strengthening of the armed forces without doubt. 大军迤逦而来,旌旗昭昭,刀枪林立,前后有序,士气饱满,一眼看去确实是一支强军无疑。 Elite of dwarf clan, has basically gathered at this. 矮人一族的精锐,基本都已经聚集在此了。 The armies just arrived, then encircled watertight Winterfell City, then starts to pitch camp, seems ready that attacked for a long time. 大军刚到,便将凛冬城围了个水泄不通,然后开始安营扎寨,似乎做好了长期攻打的准备。 In the temporary command headquarters of dwarf army, the atmosphere is peaceful, marquis Meneux is making the prayer devotionally. 矮人大军的临时指挥所内,气氛安静肃穆,梅纳姆侯爵正在虔诚地做着祷告。 This dwarf marquis is the devout follower of lord of brilliance, in the surface, he truly is at least reverent. 这位矮人侯爵是光辉之主的虔诚信徒,至少表面上,他确实非常虔诚。 As the dependency race of person clan, a dwarf clan has abandoned own belief, the choice has served the lord of brilliance. 作为人族的附庸种族,矮人一族早就抛弃了自己的信仰,选择侍奉光辉之主。 But pitifully, does not know that is because their insufficient heart is honest, because the race gap is unable to span, the dwarf is unable to accept the baptism to become the knight. 但可惜,不知道是因为他们不够心诚,还是因为种族的鸿沟无法跨越,矮人始终无法接受洗礼成为骑士。 From this point, between they and person clans always have the barrier that is unable to remove. 从这一点上来说,他们与人族之间始终存在着无法消除的隔阂。 Even in secretly, Spiritual God that it is said the dwarf once served- the follower of mother of land is disseminating the belief quietly. 甚至在暗地里,据说还有矮人曾经侍奉的神灵-大地之母的信徒在悄悄传播着信仰。 Naturally, as the dwarf aristocrat, they must surely the lord of being converted brilliance, otherwise, the brilliance empire will not have their places of taking shelter. 当然,作为矮人贵族而言,他们必定是要皈依光辉之主的,否则,光辉帝国也不会有他们的容身之地。 Until completed the prayer, marquis Meneux raised the head, the vision has swept in the command headquarters slowly. 直到做完了祷告,梅纳姆侯爵才抬起头来,目光在指挥所中缓缓扫过。 Although once dwarf royal family- Szo Lynch family's last years princesses married into Dawson family, but in fact, from the military power a prestige in dwarf clan, Meneux family was the dwarf leader who deserved. 虽然曾经的矮人王室-索林奇家族的末代公主嫁入了道森家族,但实际上,无论是从军事实力还是在矮人一族中的威望而言,梅纳姆家族才是当之无愧的矮人领袖。 However, is not all dwarf aristocrats approves Meneux family's leading positions, at least Dawson family definitely does not recognize. 不过,也不是所有的矮人贵族都认可梅纳姆家族的领导地位,至少道森家族就肯定不认。 They have thought oneself are Szo Lynch family's inheritance, in the body is flowing the bloodlines of dwarf king. 他们一直认为自己才是索林奇家族的传承者,身体里流淌着矮人王的血脉。 Therefore, how marquis Dawson sees marquis Meneux how the non- cross-eye, always felt the appearance that the opposite party prayed was extremely really artificial. 所以,道森侯爵就怎么看梅纳姆侯爵怎么不对眼,总觉得对方祈祷的模样实在太过做作。 „Winterfell City at present, how should conquer north this boundary the city of center, what opinion do you have?” Marquis Meneux opened the mouth, the sound is vigorous, has a dignity of high-rank. “凛冬城就在眼前,该怎么征服这座北境的中心之城,你们有什么意见？”梅纳姆侯爵开口了,声音浑厚,带着一种上位者的威严。 This time he also just like posed as the commanders of this dwarf allied armies. 此时的他也俨然以这支矮人联军的统帅自居了。 Although marquis Dawson is not convinced very much, but he just routed in the flowing rapidly river, the prestige suffers setbacks seriously, military far inferior marquis Meneux in hand is also abundant, therefore, he is unable to rob the command jurisdiction of this allied armies with the opposite party. 虽然道森侯爵心里很不服气,但他刚在奔流河大败一场,声望严重受挫,手中的兵力也远不及梅纳姆侯爵雄厚,所以,他也无法跟对方抢夺这支联军的指挥权。 Four limbs are developed, the hands and feet thick dwarf will issue saying: „ Sir Meneux marquis, I thinks firm city that in the world our dwarf armies could not have taken over! Even if Winterfell City is also same! 一位四肢发达,手脚粗大的矮人将领发言道:“梅纳姆侯爵大人,我认为天底下没有咱们矮人大军攻不下的坚城！哪怕凛冬城也是一样！ Therefore, when the military engineer team produced the attacking a city instrument, we can launch the offensive, having a look at this so-called northern boundary's first firm city to insist for several days! ” 所以,等工兵队造好了攻城器械,我们就可以发动攻势,看看这座所谓的北境第一坚城到底能够坚持几天！” This dwarf military officer voice is thick, in the tone as if there is strong bloody flavor, during the spoken languages also somewhat to think otherwise to Winterfell City. 这位矮人将领嗓音粗狂,语气中仿佛带着浓烈的血腥味道,言语之间也对凛冬城有些不以为然。 Actually, a dwarf clan really has the attainment on the siege warfare. 其实,矮人一族在攻城战上确实颇有心得。 Their artisans are good at building the attacking a city instrument . Moreover, their diminutive figure in the siege warfare instead are an advantage, because did not hit a target by the arrow rain of top easily. 他们的工匠非常善于打造攻城器械,而且,他们矮小的身形在攻城战中反而是一种优势,因为不容易被城头的箭雨射中。 Therefore, compares in the positional warfare of open country, a dwarf clan actually excels at the dozen of siege warfares. 所以,相比于野外的阵地战,矮人一族其实更擅长打攻城战。 Naturally, is not all dwarf military officers on the scene is so frivolous, another dwarf military officer stands, expresses own view discretely: 当然,也不是在场的所有矮人将领都如此轻狂,又一位矮人将领站出来,谨慎地发表着自己的看法: „ I think that cannot so treat it lightly. Winterfell City I had gone, knows that what kind of firm its city wall is, what kind of ingenuity the design is. “我认为不能如此掉以轻心。凛冬城我曾经进去过,知道它的城墙是如何的坚固,设计是如何的巧妙。 Perhaps if the storm, must pay the extremely serious price. ” 如果强攻的话,恐怕要付出极为惨重的代价。” „I also think.” Before has remained silent marquis Dawson to open the mouth to say suddenly. “我也是这么想的。”之前一直保持着沉默的道森侯爵突然开口道。 Marquis Meneux frowns slightly, the eye decides is gazing at marquis Dawson, seems waiting for opposite party's further explanation. 梅纳姆侯爵微微皱起了眉头,眼睛定定地注视着道森侯爵,似乎在等待对方的进一步解释。 Marquis Dawson the complexion is indifferent , to continue saying: „ As the northern boundary aristocrat, I have naturally understood the Winterfell City city garrison system especially. 道森侯爵面色淡然,继续说道:“作为北境贵族,我当然特地了解过凛冬城的城防系统。 First, this is one constructs the city above mountain, the words that we must attack a city, must attack a high place from below upwardly, the enemy occupied a commanding position, occupies completely to benefit. 首先,这是一座建在高山之上的城池,我们要攻城的话,就必须向上仰攻,敌人居高临下,占尽了地利。 Next, Winterfell City city wall with hardest oak rock after careful cutting builds the construction, is five meters, is unlikely hard to shake depending on our attacking a city hammers. 其次,凛冬城的城墙是用最为坚硬的青冈岩经过精心切割后堆砌建造的,厚达五米,光凭我们的攻城锤恐怕也难以撼动。 Moreover, the Winterfell City city wall is the two-course construction, behind the outer wall also has the inner wall, between two walls is distanced more than 20 meters, in this period altogether had 96 towers over a city gate. 而且,凛冬城的城墙是双层结构,外墙后面还有内墙,两墙之间相距二十多米,其间共有九十六座城楼。 Even we really broke through these two city walls, don't forget, above summit also lion roar fort! 就算我们真的突破了这两道城墙,别忘了,山巅之上还有一座狮吼堡！ If wants the storm, hehe, feared that must fill in completely a elite soldier of dwarf clan enough. ” 如果要强攻的话,呵呵,怕是要将矮人一族的精锐战士全部填进去才够。” Marquis Dawson finishes speaking, a military officer of Meneux family department shouts loudly: „Sir Dawson marquis, but also without making war, your such group of enemies boasted, is it possible that was the afraid fear?” 道森侯爵话音刚落,一位梅纳姆家族一系的将领就大声嚷道:“道森侯爵大人,还没开战呢,您就这样帮敌人吹嘘,莫非是心虚害怕了？” „Snort! I do not think certain people bring death in vain.” “哼！我只是不想某些人白白去送死而已。” „Ok. Do not quarrel.” Marquis Meneux beckons with the hand, advises to say. “好了。别吵了。”梅纳姆侯爵摆摆手,劝阻道。 When the people are peaceful, marquis Meneux said to marquis Dawson: „Marquis Dawson, since you do not agree with the storm, what that does have better suggestion?” 等众人都安静下来,梅纳姆侯爵才对道森侯爵道:“道森侯爵,既然您不同意强攻,那有什么更好的建议呢？” Marquis Dawson touched own full beard, said lightly: „I believe, the best method is to encircle not to attack.” 道森侯爵摸了摸自己的大胡子,淡淡道:“我认为,最好的方法是围而不攻。” „? Why?” Marquis Meneux pursues again asks. “哦？为什么？”梅纳姆侯爵再次追问道。 „ The famine of northern boundary eruption is threatening, even the St. Hilde family still stores up the sufficient grain without enough time . Moreover, I nosing is also clear, in Winterfell City had also had the food shortage situation. “北境这次爆发的饥荒来势汹汹,就算是圣希尔德家族也来不及囤积足够的粮食,而且,我也已经查探清楚,凛冬城中也早就出现了粮食短缺的情况。 Therefore, so long as we encircle this city, break off the inside and outside relations, how long that could not want, in the city because of lacking the grain will erupt the turmoil. 所以,只要我们将这座城池团团围住,断绝内外联系,那要不了多久,城内就会因为缺粮而爆发动乱。 At that time, is we best opportunity! ” 那时候,才是我们最好的机会！” Marquis Meneux the vision flashes, some as if meanings move. 梅纳姆侯爵目光闪动,似乎有些意动。 But when he pondered carefully when marquis Dawson's suggestion, saw tall thin a form to enter the command headquarters. 但就在他仔细思考道森侯爵的建议时,就见一个高瘦的身影走进了指挥所。 Marquis Meneux the look concentrates, as if recognized came the person. 梅纳姆侯爵眼神一凝,似乎认出了来人。 „Is Mr. Wizard, you?” “觋先生,是您吗？” Comes the person whole body to cover in the spacious Wizard robe, the whole piece face also hidden in the hood, does not know that actually he how enters the temporary command headquarters of dwarf army uninhibitedly. 来人全身都笼罩在宽大的法师袍中,整张脸也隐藏在兜帽之中,也不知道他究竟是如何旁若无人地走进矮人大军的临时指挥所的。 „Is I.” “是我。” Mr. Wizard replied briefly and to the point. 觋先生言简意赅地答道。 His sound is gloomy and hoarse, as if -and-a-half only tread on into the drooping old man in tomb unexpectedly. 他的声音阴沉而沙哑,竟仿佛一位半只脚踏入坟墓中的垂垂老者。 Moreover, marquis Meneux also smelled strong decayed aura, looks like the laying aside for a long time corpse sending out flavor. 而且,梅纳姆侯爵还闻到了一股浓烈的腐臭气息,就像是放置许久的尸体散发的味道。 „You...... fortunately?” Marquis Meneux asked carefully. “您……还好吧？”梅纳姆侯爵小心地问道。 Mr. Wizard has not answered this issue, but said lightly: 觋先生没有回答这个问题,只是淡淡地说道: „ Two matters. “两件事。 First, Ice Rock City rides the army and silver moon guard black already, is turning toward Winterfell City to come, therefore, behind you must be careful. 第一,冰岩城的黑骑军和银月卫队已经出发,正向着凛冬城而来,所以,你们要小心背后。 Second, the Uman family's army at this time also in Winterfell City, Count Uman and Viscount Angelie has a grudge, you can use this point, sows dissension their relations, weakens in Winterfell City...... ” 第二,乌曼家族的军队此时也在凛冬城中,乌曼伯爵与安格列子爵有仇,你们可以利用这一点,挑拨离间他们的关系,削弱凛冬城内的……” Said here, Mr. Wizard stopped talking suddenly. 说道这里,觋先生突然住口了。 The dwarves look at each other in blank dismay, does not know that had anything. 矮人们面面相觑,不知道发生了什么。 Finally marquis Meneux makes noise to ask: „Mr. Wizard? Mr. Wizard?” 最后还是梅纳姆侯爵出声问道:“觋先生？觋先生？” However, Mr. Wizard did not speak, as if suddenly jammed, a whole person as if woodcarving general, poked intently in same place, motionless. 然而,觋先生还是不说话,仿佛突然卡壳了,整个人仿佛一个木雕一般,直愣愣地杵在原地,一动不动。 Marquis Meneux the whole face doubts, then goes forward several steps, tries to examine the situation of opposite party. 梅纳姆侯爵满脸疑惑,便上前几步,试图查看对方的情况。 But just walked several steps, marquis Meneux also stops immediately, in the look full is the panic-stricken color. 但刚走几步,梅纳姆侯爵也立刻停了下来,眼神中满是惊骇之色。 Marquis Dawson sees that when is perplexed, suddenly also felt a holy great strength to cover this stretch of the world, oneself as if became an insect in amber, is locked by the mighty force that this is unable to resist thoroughly, is unable the move slightest. 道森侯爵见状,正不明所以之时,突然也感受到了一股圣洁宏大的力量笼罩了这片天地,自己仿佛成了琥珀中的一只昆虫,被这股无法抵御的伟力彻底锁定,无法动弹分毫。 „Yeah-” “哎-” Also has not known how long, Mr. Wizard sighed suddenly, restored the ability to act. 也不知过了多久,觋先生忽然叹息一声,恢复了行动能力。 Then, sees him to turn around slowly, went out of the temporary command headquarters step by step. 然后,就见他缓缓转身,一步步地走出了临时指挥所。 Outside dwarf soldiers also look at dumbly motionless, as if their time were coagulated thoroughly generally. 外面的矮人士兵们也同样呆立不动,仿佛他们的时间被彻底凝固了一般。 But in front of Mr. Wizard, is standing an arrogant back. 而在觋先生面前,站立着一个孤傲的背影。 Is a back, but seems actually sending out the solar panel dazzling ray, can make world all be overshadowed. 仅仅是一个背影,但却仿佛散发着太阳板耀眼的光芒,能让世间的一切都黯然失色。 Mr. Wizard takes off the hood slowly, reveals a terrifying face. 觋先生缓缓摘下兜帽,露出一张恐怖至极的脸。 Left profile thorough rotten, even in can see the pitch-black skull. 左边的半边脸已经彻底腐烂,甚至能看到里面乌黑的颅骨。 But the right profile seemed to be also infected, blue veins such as the maggot of creeping motion blows up generally, as if the next quarter must explode. 而右半边脸似乎也被传染,一根根青筋如蠕动的蛆虫一般鼓起,仿佛下一刻就要爆裂开来。 But Mr. Wizard as if on the terrifying mutation to oneself does not have to think, the look sent regards as usual to that person: 但觋先生却仿佛对自己身上的恐怖异变毫无所觉,神色如常地向那人问候道: „Your Highness Prince Reich, has not thought that can see you here.” “莱希亲王殿下,没想到能在这里见到您。”
