它距离怒水河还有上百公里,但在五百年前,怒水河确实从临水城穿流而过,只是后来因为一场地震而改道,临水城才变得如今这样名不副实。IncityLordmansionrear room, a bright and beautiful spring day.
城主府后厅内,一片莺歌燕舞。Youngprettyhalfelfdancing girlphysiquehandsome, charmingmoving, the visioninstituteandis the eyes of arousing, annoys an excitedlybravo, pushed up the high tide the atmosphere of banquet.
年轻靓丽的半精灵舞女身姿翩翩,娇媚动人,目光所及都是撩人的秋波,惹来一阵兴奋地喝彩声,将宴会的氛围推上了高潮。Waterfront Cityfeudal lordViscountsitsinfirst, bleary eyesawakesonglooks at the halfelfdancing girl in field, assumes an air of self approbationwith the rhythm of music, interestabundant.临水城领主雅加子爵坐在首座,醉眼惺忪地看着场中的半精灵舞女,跟着音乐的节奏摇头晃脑,兴致盎然。Butpitifully, always some not tactfulpersonmustdisturbhisinterest.
但可惜,总有些不知趣的人要来打扰他的兴致。„ViscountSir, viscountSir!”
“子爵大人,子爵大人!”Viscountlooksto gathernearbyoneselfParronknight, is frowningto ask: „Whatmatter?”
雅加子爵看着凑到自己跟前的帕隆骑士,皱着眉头问道:“什么事?”„Sir, justonegroup of the military deserters who camefrom the alfalfacity, moreoveras far as they said that Blood Cavalry Armyhas crossed river!”
“大人,刚刚又有一批从苜蓿城而来的逃兵,而且据他们所说,血骑军已经过河了!”„Does Parronknight, the words of military deserteryoualsobelieve? Has the Pegasussailors , did youtell the angrywaterriver that northme the boundarypersoncrossed? Also, haven't Imadeyousend peopleto confirm? Did yousend?”
“帕隆骑士,逃兵的话你也信?有天马水军在,你告诉我北境人怎么过的怒水河?还有,我不是已经让你派人去确认了吗?你派了没?”„Naturallysent, moreoversentthreebatch. Howeverto the present, onebatchhas not come back.”
“当然派了,而且派了三批。但是到现在,一批都没有回来。”„Comesoneto takethreedaysfromhereto the alfalfacity? Whereis so quick?”
“从这里到苜蓿城一来一回怎么也要三天吧?哪有那么快?”„ButSir, someso manymilitary desertershave appearedinWaterfront City, thishas been ableto explain that the alfalfacitydefinitelyhad an accident, weshouldprepareearly.”
“但是大人,已经有这么多逃兵出现在临水城,这已经能说明苜蓿城肯定出事了,我们应该早做准备。”„Ihave not delivered a lettertoWhite Dew City, moreoveryouare not reorganizing the familyarmy, preparedfightat any time, but how can also?”
“我不是已经向白露城送信了嘛,而且你不也正在整顿家族军队,随时做好战斗的准备了嘛,还要怎样?”„Sir, in order to be safe, shouldclose the city gate.”
“大人,稳妥起见,还是应该关闭城门。”„Closurecity gate?”Viscountsomewhathesitates, „, before obtainingpositive news, somewhatmakes a fuss over a trifling matter?”
“关闭城门?”雅加子爵有些犹豫,“在没有得到确切消息之前,是不是有些小题大做?”InParronknightheartsighs woefully, the easternboundary is too peacefully long, thesearistocratmastershad lostpropervigilant, hejustwantsto open the mouthto urgeagain, hurriesto sayonhearingnearby -and-a-half elfmerchants:
帕隆骑士心中一阵哀叹,东境承平太久,这些贵族老爷们早就已经失去了应有的警惕,他刚想开口再劝,就听到旁边一位半精灵商人慌忙道:„ViscountSir, cannot the Guanchenggate! Ourcaravanalsoonebatch of cargosmustdeliver toWaterfront Citytoday!”
“子爵大人,可不能关城门呀!我们商队今天还有一批货物要送到临水城!”Viscountimmediatelyeyeonebright.
雅加子爵顿时眼睛一亮。Halfelfcaravanpassed byWaterfront Cityeach time, will deliversometohim„beautifulgift”.
要知道,每次半精灵商队路过临水城,都会给他送上一些“美丽的礼物”。Looks in the field the enchantingbeautifulhalfelfdancing girl, Viscountheartfiery, immediatelysaidtoParronknight:
看着场中妖娆婀娜的半精灵舞女,雅加子爵心头一阵火热,当即对帕隆骑士道:„This, after thatand other caravans of Sarsmisterenter a city, closes the city gateagain.”
“这样吧,那就等萨斯先生的商队进城之后,再关闭城门吧。”Parronknightshot a look athalfelfmerchantoneeyesvigilantly, urged: „Sir, Iam worriedwithout enough time......”
帕隆骑士警惕地瞥了半精灵商人一眼,劝道:“大人,我就担心来不及呀……”Viscounttwostares, did not saypatiently: „Hasanythingwithout enough time! Reallythinks that Ido not understandto marchto go to war, even ifBlood Cavalry Armyreallycrosses the river must spend2-3days, but must transport/fortune the grain and fodderlogistics, rushed toWaterfront Cityagainis the 56days later matter, wherewas so quick! According todoing that Isaid!”
雅加子爵两眼一瞪,不耐烦道:“有什么来不及的!真以为我不懂行军打仗啊,血骑军就算真的渡河也要花个2-3天吧,还要把粮草后勤运过来,再赶到临水城怎么也是五六天之后的事情了,哪有这么快!就按我说的做!”„Yes, Sir.”Parronknightis helpless, mustreceive an orderto depart.
“是,大人。”帕隆骑士无奈,只得领命离去。
The outgoingLordmansion, the Paronknightsare filled witharrive at the west gateanxiously, happen tosees a longmotorcadeto pushin the entrance.
出了城主府,帕隆骑士满心忧虑地来到西城门,正好看见一支长长的车队挤在门口。It seems like thathalfelfcaravanarrivesfinally.
看来是那支半精灵商队终于到了。InParronknightheartonetight, goes forwardto direct the soldierto let the footsteps that the motorcadespeeds upentering a cityhastily.
帕隆骑士心中一紧,连忙上前指挥着士兵让车队加快进城的脚步。Butwhenentershalf, the motorcadecaughtsuddenly.
但就在进到一半的时候,车队突然卡住了。„What's the matter?”
“怎么回事?”Parronknightstandsin the top, askedtobelow.
帕隆骑士站在城头,对下面问道。„KnightSir, had a trailerto collapse by pressureby the cargo.”
“骑士大人,有辆拖车被货物压塌了。”„A bit fastercleaning up!”
“快点清理!”Parronknightangrily roars, simultaneouslyascendsat heart not a goodpremonition.
帕隆骑士怒吼一声,同时心里升腾起一股不好的预感。Hethought that beforethesehalfelfmerchantsare incredible, halfelfkingdomis graspedbythatCount Angelienowfirmlyin the hand, was difficult saying that thiscaravanwill not be the spy who hesentspecially.
他之前就觉得这些半精灵商人不可信,要知道,半精灵王国现在可是被那位安格列伯爵牢牢握在手中,难说这支商队不会是他特意派来的奸细。However, Viscounthad been misledbythesehalfelves, Parronknightcannot convince.
但是,雅加子爵早已被这些半精灵蛊惑,帕隆骑士根本劝不动。Nowhe can only hope that Blood Cavalry Armywill not killWaterfront Cityquickly.
现在他只能希望血骑军不会那么快杀到临水城吧。Butsometimes, moreis afraidanything, morecomesanything.
但有时候,越是害怕什么,就越是来什么。Thump thump thump......
咚咚咚……
The landstartsto shiversuddenly, Parronknightturns aroundsuddenly, saw the horizonplaceto present a blackfine lace.
大地忽然开始颤动,帕隆骑士霍然转身,就见地平线处出现了一条黑色的细线。
The fine lacegraduallyfills the air, becameblacksea, is turning towardWaterfront Cityto comeat an exceptional pace.
细线逐渐弥漫开来,成了一片黑色的海洋,正以惊人的速度向着临水城汹涌而来。Heonlythought that whole bodyfrom the beginning as coolasfoot, immediatelyexclaimedhoarsely: „Enemyraids! The enemiesraid!”
他只觉得浑身从头凉到脚,当即声嘶力竭地吼道:“敌袭!敌袭!”
The soldier of city gateaccumulationwas shocked, theyhave not been ableto clarifyexactlywhat happened.
城门口聚集的士兵愣住了,他们还没能弄清楚到底发生了什么事。Theseare helpingclean upto scatterincity gate the soldier of cargo, but alsostupidlycontinuesto shoulder the goodsin the shoulder, the visionbecomes inactivelooks at the cavalry who the distant placepresents.
那些正在帮忙清理散落在城门口的货物的士兵,还傻乎乎地继续将货扛在肩头,目光发滞地看着远方出现的骑兵。UntilParronknightjumps downfrom the top, tramples the soldiers of severalgodsturns, theyrecoverfinally.
直到帕隆骑士从城头一跃而下,将几个愣神的士兵踹翻,他们才终于回过神来。„Quickly, quickGuanchenggate!”
“快,快关城门!”Severalsoldierstumblecharge into the suspension cable, butcity gatewas blockedby the motorcadeat this time, wantsto closecannot close.
几名士兵连滚带爬地冲向吊索,但这时候城门口被车队堵住,就是想关也关不上。Parronknighthad confirmedat this time,thishalfelfcaravanisnorth the spy of boundary!
帕隆骑士这时候已经确认,这支半精灵商队就是北境的间谍!Therefore, hestartsno longeralso to be forgiving, immediatelyleads the soldierto drive away the caravanforcefully, the opposite partyhasto hesitateslightlythendraws a swordto kill!
所以,他下手也不再留情,立刻率领士兵强行驱赶商队,对方稍有迟疑便拔剑就杀!Reallysaw the blood, the halfelves of caravandispersed instantlyimmediately, butactuallythrew a car(riage)car(riage)cargoincity gate.
真见了血,商队的半精灵们顿时一哄而散,但却将一车车货物丢在了城门口。Parronknightis helpless, mustmake the soldiersmove out of the way the cargo, buthe himself, thenassembled the garrison troops of city gateplaceto line up in formationoutside the city, attemptsBlood Cavalry Army that preventedto sweep acrossto come.
帕隆骑士无奈,只得让士兵们去挪开货物,而他自己,则纠集了城门处的守军在城外列队,试图阻挡一下席卷而来的血骑军。Actuallyat this time the garrison troopsalso1,000-2,000people of city gateplace, Parronknightfeelsso manypeople, ought to keep offBlood Cavalry Army, winssometime, so long as the city gateclosessmoothly, thatnorthernboundarypersonis not necessarily ableto captureWaterfront City.
其实此时城门处的守军也有1,000-2,000人,帕隆骑士觉得这么多人,总该能挡一挡血骑军,争取到一些时间,只要城门顺利关上,那北境人未必能攻下临水城。
The cavalriesattack a citybad, thiswas the common military knowledge.
骑兵不善攻城,这是军事常识了。Butpitifully, Parronknightoverestimatedoneselfthesesoldiershand/subordinate.
但可惜,帕隆骑士高估了自己手下的那些士兵。
The easternboundary was too easy and comfortable, the angrywaterrivernorth the boundarywill keep off outside firmly, the elfhidesinRadiant Moon Forestdoes not see the signs, the army of easternboundaryexcept forbullying the bandits and thieves, has not hadseveralproperwars, manysoldiersusuallyhave not even drilled.
东境实在太安逸了,怒水河将北境牢牢挡在外面,精灵又躲在辉月森林中不见踪迹,东境的军队除了欺负欺负盗贼,就没打过几场正经的战争,很多士兵甚至平时都没怎么操练过。Perhapstheyuse the hoeusing the swordcome more convenient than andskilled.
或许他们用锄头都比用刀剑来得顺手和熟练。Therefore, when the Blood Cavalry Armyvanguardby the unapproachableterrifyingimposing mannerkills the citynext, the garrison troops that Parronknightleadscollapseddirectlyneatly.
所以,当血骑军的前锋以无可匹敌的恐怖气势杀到城下时,帕隆骑士率领的守军直接干脆利落地崩溃了。Theysaw the dark redblood, saw the fiercefacial features, saw the brutallook, then, theyfrightened the urine.
他们看见了殷红的鲜血,看见了狰狞的面容,看见了无情的眼神,然后,他们就吓尿了。Theythrow down the sword in hand, does not pay attention toshouting of Parronknight, nearly the instinctturns headto escapetoward the city.
他们丢下手中的刀剑,也不理会帕隆骑士的呼喊,近乎本能地扭头就往城内逃跑。Parronknightlooks atthis, in the heartthoroughdesperate.
帕隆骑士看着这一幕,心中彻底绝望。Buthelooked downknightsword in the hand, oncepledgeappearedagainin the mind.
但他低头看了一眼自己手中的骑士剑,曾经的誓言再次浮现在脑海中。Then, east this boundaryknightstands and waits for a long timesingle-handedlyunderWaterfront City, is welcomingcomingBlood Cavalry Armyalone, in the mouthsends outrevealingroaring:
然后,这位东境骑士就这么单枪匹马地伫立在临水城下,独自迎着汹涌而来的血骑军,口中发出振聋发聩的咆哮:„Come! Northernboundarybarbarian!”
“来啊!北境蛮子!”
