The harbor of alfalfa city has abandoned for many years, but after simple repair, today actually begins using. 苜蓿城的港口早已废弃多年,但经过简单的修葺之后,今日却被重新启用。 Welcomed the setting sun afterglow, the huge fleet of Pegasus sailors is driving into the harbor that this declined crudely slowly, alfalfa fraternity president Orlando is leading one group of little brothers, stood in the wharf respectfully, is greeting sailors officers who disembarked the rest. 迎着落日的余晖,天马水军的庞大舰队缓缓驶入这个简陋破落的港口,苜蓿兄弟会会长奥兰多正带着一帮小弟,恭恭敬敬地站在码头上,迎接着下船休息的水军官兵们。 The angry water river and crystal river connect in the alfalfa city, therefore the Pegasus sailors want to deliver the battleship to the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate to receive in exchange marquis Vincent, here is an inevitable location. 怒水河与水晶河在苜蓿城交汇,所以天马水军想要将战舰交付给银月城以换回文森特侯爵,这里是必经之地。 However, the alfalfa city after all is the territory in half elf kingdom, properly speaking, before obtaining the agreement of half elf kingdom, the Pegasus sailors cannot anchor in this, but the city lords in alfalfa city look in the harbor at this time the dense and numerous battleships, actually does not dare to say anything. 不过,苜蓿城毕竟是半精灵王国的领地,按理说,在得到半精灵王国的同意之前,天马水军是不能在此停靠的,但此时苜蓿城的城主看着港口中密密麻麻的战舰,却也不敢多说什么。 This actually cannot blame Rowen Rytter insufficiently to fulfill duty, the aquatic strength that because half elf kingdom simply cannot contend with the Pegasus sailors, can only certainly look at the eastern boundary person helplessly at will round trip. 这其实也不能怪罗恩・吕特不够尽职,因为半精灵王国根本没有能够与天马水军相抗衡的水上力量,当然就只能眼睁睁地看着东境人随意来去了。 A crystal river this half elf clan „mother river”, the battleship of Pegasus sailors also often comes to stroll, if not for there is a dam to prevent, perhaps the fleet of eastern boundary even can follow crystal river to advance half elf royal palace directly. 就连水晶河这条半精灵一族的“母亲河”,天马水军的战舰也时常进来逛逛,若不是有水闸阻挡,恐怕东境的舰队甚至都能直接顺着水晶河开进半精灵王宫。 This little while Pegasus sailors anchor in the alfalfa city, is actually to the northern boundary face, after all then they must redeem marquis Vincent, cannot be extremely impolite. 这会儿天马水军只是在苜蓿城停靠,其实已经算是给北境面子了,毕竟接下来他们还要赎回文森特侯爵,不能太过无礼。 More than 30,000 sailors officers flood into the alfalfa city all of a sudden, immediately makes here exceptionally lively. 三万多名水军官兵一下子涌入苜蓿城,立刻就让这里变得异常热闹。 Luckily the Pegasus sailors are the grain and fodder of bringing, otherwise depends on the barren present situation in alfalfa city, perhaps also the insufficient these people eat. 幸好天马水军是自带的粮草,不然就凭苜蓿城的贫瘠现状,恐怕还不够这些人吃的。 Although eats and drinks does not need the alfalfa city to solve, but some other sailors officers physiological needs, wanted the native to help. 虽然吃喝不用苜蓿城解决,但水军官兵其它的一些生理需要,就要当地人帮忙了。 Looks the scene that the officers indulge recklessly, Count Ivan does not have to control, after all the war is about to begin, making the soldiers relax also to help boost the morale appropriately, the city that they anchor let alone east bank of getting angry the water river, this in the subconscious of eastern boundary person, is the absolute safety boundary. 看着将士们肆意放纵的场景,埃文伯爵也没有加以管束,毕竟大战在即,让士兵们适当放松一下也有利于提振士气,更何况他们停靠的城区在怒水河东岸,这在东境人的潜意识里,都是绝对安全的地界。 Commander Count Hall of fleet will not certainly restrain the subordinate, this time he is immersing in a solemn and stirring and desperate mood, is inescapably involved. 舰队的指挥官霍尔伯爵当然更不会去约束手下,此时的他正沉浸在一种悲壮而绝望的情绪中,不能自拔。 This time was selected silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate „delivery” the battleship, Count Ivan least crew quantities that requests each battleship only to carry can maintain battles and navigates need normally, after all he does not want elite to ruin these sailors in the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate. 这次被选中去银月城“交付”的战舰,埃文伯爵要求每艘战舰只搭载能够维持正常作战和航行需要的最少船员数量,毕竟他也不想把这些水军精锐全都葬送在银月城。 Therefore, which people this little while Count Hall is intertwining to keep on the battleship. 所以,这会儿霍尔伯爵正纠结着要将哪些人留在战舰上。 Count Hall reads the sailors officers list of front laying aside, hesitated for a long time, is a person has not actually checked. 霍尔伯爵看着面前放置的水军将士名单,迟疑了许久,却还是一个人也没有勾选。 Person who the going silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate that without a doubt, leaves behind carries out the task, surely is a narrow escape, Count Hall felt, this perhaps was in this life chooses difficultly. 毫无疑问,留下的前往银月城执行任务的人,都必定是九死一生,霍尔伯爵觉得,这恐怕是自己这一生中最为艰难的抉择了。 Thump thump! 咚咚！ „Comes.” “进来。” Count Hall raised the head, saw the adjutant Holms knight to walk, but also convenient closed the cabin door. 霍尔伯爵抬头,就见副官霍姆斯骑士走了进来,还顺手将舱门关上。 „Doesn't Count Sir, you dine?” “伯爵大人,您不去用餐吗？” „I am not hungry.” “我还不饿。” Count Hall spoke thoughtlessly to say, saw Holms knight also to stand in same place has not moved, then asked: „What matter do you have?” 霍尔伯爵随口应道,见霍姆斯骑士还站在原地没动,便问道:“你还有什么事？” Holms knight hesitant, but clenches teeth, sinking sound said: „Count Sir, do we really want according to the order of Count Ivan, to give the northern boundary family's battleship?” 霍姆斯骑士犹豫了一下,但还是一咬牙,沉声道:“伯爵大人,我们真的要按照埃文伯爵的命令,将家族的战舰都交给北境吗？” At this time Count Hall officers hand/subordinate has not known, they will soon go to the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate are not deliver the battleship, but is drives out the aquatic defense of silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate. 此时霍尔伯爵手下的将士们还不知道,他们即将前往银月城并不是去交付战舰,而是去轰开银月城的水上防御。 Count Hall understands, if tells itself now hand/subordinate the truth, that does not need to think, will definitely present lots of military deserters, even is the mutiny. 霍尔伯爵明白,如果现在告诉自己手下真相,那不用想,肯定会出现大量逃兵,甚至是哗变。 Only then they drove the battleship to arrive under the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, draws back does not have may draw back, stimulates them by the death of marquis Vincent again, or threatens them with the safety of family member, compelling them to carry out that almost with the suicide not different duty, can work the duty of Count Ivan confession, strives for that uncertain vitality for Hall family. 只有等他们驾驶着战舰来到银月城下,退无可退的时候,再以文森特侯爵之死刺激他们,或用家人的安危威胁他们,逼着他们去执行那几乎与自杀无异的任务,才能将埃文伯爵交代的任务进行下去,为霍尔家族争取那一丝渺茫的生机。 Therefore, when sees Holms knight in not giving up the family battleship, Count Hall somewhat pities with suddenly grievedly. 所以,当看到霍姆斯骑士还在舍不得家族战舰的时候,霍尔伯爵忽然有些怜悯和心痛。 „This is the duke Sir's order, we must carry out!” “这是公爵大人的命令,我们必须执行！” Holms knight straightens one's neck, is a unwilling appearance: „Sir, Duke St. Plossi this obviously is to weaken Sir Vincent of marquis the support influence! Whatever if they deliver these battleships, that future who will inherit the position of eastern boundary duke to be difficult to say!” 霍姆斯骑士梗着脖子,还是一副不甘心的模样:“大人,圣普洛斯公爵这明显是想要削弱文森特侯爵大人的支持势力啊！如果任由他们将这些战舰都送出去,那将来谁会继承东境公爵之位就难说了！” Hears here, Count Hall the sorrowful color in eye is unable to conceal again, he wants to tell oneself adjutant, marquis Vincent had died, in the future the position of eastern boundary duke will be doomed is Count Ivan. 听到这里,霍尔伯爵眼中的悲哀之色再也无法掩饰,他很想告诉自己的副官,文森特侯爵已经死了,将来东境公爵之位注定是埃文伯爵的。 But has words on the tip of the tongue, Count Hall has not said. 但话到嘴边,霍尔伯爵还是没有说出来。 Count Hall hesitant made Holms knight misunderstand obviously, therefore this Hall family's loyal and devoted knights went forward several steps, lowered the sound saying: 霍尔伯爵的犹豫显然让霍姆斯骑士误会了,所以这位霍尔家族忠心耿耿的骑士上前几步,压低了声音道: „Count Sir, we can the secret deduct Count Ivan, goes to the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate to redeem marquis Vincent with the St. Plossi family's battleship!” “伯爵大人,我们可以秘密扣下埃文伯爵,用圣普洛斯家族的战舰去银月城赎回文森特侯爵！” Count Hall the whole body trembles, raised the head to stare at the eyes of Holms knight. 霍尔伯爵浑身一颤,抬头凝视着霍姆斯骑士的眼睛。 Holms knight looks at each other with him bravely , to continue to persuade: 霍姆斯骑士毫不畏惧地与他对视,继续劝说道: „ Count Sir, you do not need to be worried to do this family will bring the disaster to Hall. So long as we receive in exchange marquis Vincent, he will certainly support Hall family! “伯爵大人,您不用担心这样做会给霍尔家族带来灾难。只要我们换回文森特侯爵,他一定会支持霍尔家族！ Let alone, so long as the St. Plossi family's battleship gave the northern boundary, on that day the horse sailors were controlled by Hall family thoroughly! If Duke St. Plossi does not want to make the northern boundary go to enter, not only does not dare to blame you, but must win over to comfort you! 更何况,只要圣普洛斯家族的战舰都交给了北境,那天马水军就是会彻底被霍尔家族掌控！圣普洛斯公爵若是不想让北境趁虚而入,不但不敢怪罪您,还必须拉拢安抚您！ Moreover as the matter stands, even if Duke St. Plossi wants to replace the successor, must consider Hall family's attitude! 而且这样一来,哪怕圣普洛斯公爵想要更换继承人,也必须考虑霍尔家族的态度！ So long as we push up the position of duke marquis Vincent smoothly, the family even can go a step further in the position of eastern boundary! ” 只要我们将文森特侯爵顺利推上公爵之位,家族在东境的地位甚至可以更进一步！” Count Hall is still silent. 霍尔伯爵依然沉默着。 Actually he is very clear, Holms knight said right. 其实他很清楚,霍姆斯骑士说的没错。 But this strategy has a premise- that is marquis Vincent must live. 但这个计策有一个前提-那就是文森特侯爵必须活着。 Only by doing so, Hall family has the future. 只有这样,霍尔家族才有未来。 Otherwise, now Hall family to all that Count Ivan makes, even if to resist the northern boundary, will not be punished temporarily, if by any chance Count Ivan will inherit the position of eastern boundary duke in the future...... 否则,现在霍尔家族对埃文伯爵所做的一切,哪怕为了对抗北境,暂时不会遭受惩罚,但等将来埃文伯爵继承东境公爵之位…… No, even does not need Count Ivan to inherit the position of duke, so long as the current political situation stabilizes, the threat of northern boundary eliminates, Hall family will certainly be criticized! 不,甚至不需要埃文伯爵继承公爵之位,只要时局稳定下来,北境的威胁消除,霍尔家族就一定会被清算！ Holms knight looks at silent Count Hall, thinks him unable to decide, then said again: „ Count Sir, I have tested overwhelming majority Hall families quietly one am the attitude of military officer. They said that will support you unconditionally! 霍姆斯骑士看着沉默不语的霍尔伯爵,以为他下不了决心,便再次说道:“伯爵大人,我已经悄悄试探过绝大部分霍尔家族一系军官的态度了。他们都表示会无条件支持您！ Therefore, so long as you order...... ” 所以,只要您一声令下……” „Ok.” Count Hall broke Holms knight, „Hall family will not violate Duke St. Plossi order, you go out, when I have not heard these words.” “好了。”霍尔伯爵打断了霍姆斯骑士,“霍尔家族不会违背圣普洛斯公爵的命令,你出去吧,我就当从没听到过这些话。” „Count Sir......” “伯爵大人……” „Goes out!” “出去！” Holms knight whole face is unwilling, but actually does not dare to violate Count Hall's order, must leave resentfully. 霍姆斯骑士满脸不甘,但却不敢违背霍尔伯爵的命令,只得忿忿不平地离开了。 Count Hall looks at the back of Holms knight, in the heart sorrowful even more rich. 霍尔伯爵看着霍姆斯骑士的背影,心中的悲哀越发浓郁。 Looks down front list, Count Hall being able to get down pen. 低头看着面前的名单,霍尔伯爵却怎么也下不去笔。 Whom actually elected to carry out the task, Count Ivan has given a principle- chose these to have the husband and wife. 其实选谁执行任务,埃文伯爵已经给出了一个原则-选那些有家室的。 Person who only then these have worrying, they will go all out under the hopeless situation, rather than escapes. 只有这些有牵挂的人,他们才会在绝境之下拼命,而不是逃跑。 Count Hall closes the eye, when opens again, finally strengthens again, he takes the quill pen, outlines in the list. 霍尔伯爵闭上眼睛,再次睁开时,终于再次坚定起来,他拿起鹅毛笔,在名单上勾画起来。 After the moment, set the personnel list that carries out the task, Count Hall only feels an endless prostration. 片刻后,定下了执行任务的人员名单,霍尔伯爵只感觉到一阵无尽的虚脱。 He sway goes out of the cabin, arrives in the deck, looks at the profound river water alone, is lost. 他摇摇晃晃地走出船舱,来到甲板上,独自看着幽深的河水,怔怔出神。 At this time the weather is black, on the battleship besides a small number of the soldiers of duty, others has come ashore to rest to relax. 此时天色已黑,战舰上除了少数执勤的士兵外,其余的人都已经上岸休息放松了。 The lights of ashore and make noise on lonely with battleship to form the striking contrast. 岸上的灯火和喧闹和战舰上的冷清形成鲜明对比。 Count Hall looks in the water silently oneself inverted image, does not know that is thinking anything. 霍尔伯爵默默地看着水中自己的倒影,不知道在想些什么。 With the lapse of time, seems like the misconception, Count Hall felt that face that in unexpectedly the water reflects somewhat seems like marquis Vincent unexpectedly. 随着时间的推移,似乎是错觉,霍尔伯爵竟觉得水中倒映的那张脸竟有些像是文森特侯爵。 But immediately, the inverted image in water drilled the water surface unexpectedly, is revealing the tooth to smile to Count Hall, said: 但随即,水中的倒影竟钻出了水面,对着霍尔伯爵露齿一笑,道: „Is Count Hall, looking at the scenery?” “霍尔伯爵,在看风景吗？”
