After autumn rain, in the world dreary. 一场秋雨之后,天地间一片萧瑟。 In about 100 kilometers a wilderness south Waterfront City, an army is meandering the line. 在临水城南方大约一百公里的荒野上,一支大军正迤逦而行。 The flags are clear, the sword stands in great numbers, is ordered, the formation is neat, all parties various were indicating, this is a strengthening of the armed forces without doubt. 旌旗昭昭,刀剑林立,前后有序,阵型齐整,各方各面都在表明,这是一支强军无疑。 Moreover, regardless of the military officer is ordinary the soldier, even is these whole bodies covers the knight in armor, wore one bunch of white hot silk-tree flowers in the chest front without exception. 而且,无论军官还是普通士兵,甚至是那些全身笼罩在铠甲中的骑士,无一例外都在胸前佩戴了一束白色的火绒花。 Obviously, this is known as „east the boundary's first strengthening of the armed forces” Fire Velvet Army. 显然,这正是号称“东境第一强军”的火绒军。 A army center, a Count Ivan silver armor, the shell black cloak, seems like quite martial-looking uncommon. 军阵中央,埃文伯爵一身银色铠甲,外罩黑色披风,看上去颇为英武不凡。 But under the superficial scenery, Count Ivan has been exhausted. 但表面的风光之下,埃文伯爵早就疲惫不堪了。 After all body of Wizard extremely emaciated, like this long distance march, even if rides on the horseback, but he also felt that own waist quick break, the buttocks rapid setting opened, in addition carrying a heavy load of armor, has made the Count Ivan dark child regret- 毕竟法师的身体太过孱弱,这样的长途行军,哪怕是骑在马背上,但他也感觉自己的腰快断了,屁股快裂开了,再加上铠甲的负重,早已让埃文伯爵暗子后悔不已- If we had known chose a light point armor. 早知道就选一副轻点的铠甲了。 Count Buruqin also saw the awkwardness of oneself future son-in-law, but had not suggested that the opposite party takes off the armor. 布鲁根伯爵也看出了自己未来女婿的尴尬,不过却也没有建议对方将铠甲脱下。 This is Count Ivan buys the hearts of the people, sets up the prestigious the good opportunity, Count Buruqin will certainly not destroy. 这可是埃文伯爵收拢人心,树立威望的绝好机会,布鲁根伯爵当然不会加以破坏。 But with the lapse of time, sees the Count Ivan whole face sweating on horseback, creakies, Count Buruqin knew him quickly to the limit, to avoid the opposite party lost face, he has to order the army to stop going forward ahead of time, pitched camp. 但随着时间的推移,见马背上的埃文伯爵满脸虚汗,摇摇欲坠,布鲁根伯爵知道他快到极限了,为了避免对方出丑,他只好提前命令军队停止前进,就地安营扎寨。 The transmitting orders officer looks to overhang in Sun of sky, although was filled with the doubts, but faithfully ordering to transmit. 传令官看着高挂在天空的太阳,虽然满心疑惑,但还是忠实地将命令传递了下去。 Count Ivan in retinue from under the help difficult underground the warhorse, under foot staggered, has almost not come to a stop. 埃文伯爵在扈从的帮助下艰难地下了战马,脚下一个趔趄,差点没站稳。 „Many thanks father-in-law Sir!” Count Ivan supports by the arm the hand that Count Buruqin extends, expressed gratitude in a soft voice. “多谢岳父大人！”埃文伯爵搀住布鲁根伯爵伸过来的手,轻声道谢。 He knows certainly that the opposite party has ordered to pitch camp, to take care of oneself completely, in heart not only gratitude and cannot help but feel somewhat embarrassed. 他当然知道对方这么早就下令安营扎寨,完全是为了照顾自己,心中既感激又难免觉得有些窘迫。 Count Buruqin is building the arm of Count Ivan, is saying with a smile: „You after all are not a knight, cannot withstand such very intensive marching is not accidental/surprised, does not need to feel to rebuke oneself. Moreover, has taken shape in view of the Blood Cavalry Army encirclement ring, they cannot escape, therefore, we do not rush to time.” 布鲁根伯爵搭着埃文伯爵的胳膊,笑着道:“你毕竟不是骑士,承受不了这样高强度的行军也不意外,无需感到自责。而且,针对血骑军的包围圈已经成型,他们插翅难逃,所以,我们也不赶时间。” Count Ivan panted for breath a while, as if finally catches one's breath, hears word then said with a smile: „Father-in-law Sir, I wants to rush to Waterfront City earlier, sees north that personally the boundary protector distressed appearance.” 埃文伯爵喘息了一会儿,似乎终于缓过气来,闻言便笑道:“岳父大人,我还是想早点赶到临水城,亲自见到那位北境守护者狼狈的模样。” Count Buruqin laughs, said: „Isn't anxious. I estimated that this little while Blood Cavalry Army should also receive the news that Fire Velvet Army attacks, which direction will not know north that the boundary protector to choose to breaks through.” 布鲁根伯爵哈哈一笑,道:“不急不急。我估计这会儿血骑军应该也已经收到火绒军出击的消息了,不知道那位北境守护者会选择向哪一个方向突围。” „Unsurprisingly, Blood Cavalry Army should to the west.” A Count Ivan face said assuredly. “不出意外,血骑军应该会向西。”埃文伯爵一脸笃定地说道。 „I also think.” Count Buruqin nods saying that „hopes the western feudal lord allied armies can block the impact of Blood Cavalry Army.” “我也是这么想的。”布鲁根伯爵点头道,“希望西边的领主联军能够挡住血骑军的冲击。” „Relax, father-in-law Sir.” Count Ivan said with a smile self-confidently, „, if the Blood Cavalry Army main force in Waterfront City, my also really worry they can break through, but now, only then three thousand Blood Cavalry Army in Waterfront City, but the western feudal lord allied armies had gathered over 150,000, such disparate military disparity, was impossible to let Colin Angelie ran away.” “放心吧,岳父大人。”埃文伯爵自信地笑道,“如果血骑军主力在临水城,那我还真的担心他们能够突围出去,但现在,只有三千血骑军在临水城,而西边的领主联军已经聚集了超过十五万,这样悬殊的兵力差距,不可能让柯林・安格列跑掉的。” Count Buruqin nods, felt oneself somewhat considered thoroughly, is saying with a smile: „Perhaps after the investigation clear peripheral situation, the northern boundary people could not have the courage to leave Waterfront City.” 布鲁根伯爵点点头,也觉得自己有些多虑了,便笑着道:“或许在探查清楚周边的情况后,北境人都鼓不起勇气离开临水城了。” „Haha, such best, waits for Fire Velvet Army to rush to under Waterfront City, I give Colin personally Angelie writes one to induce somebody to capitulate the letter/believes.” “哈哈,那样最好,等火绒军赶到临水城下,我亲自给柯林・安格列写一封劝降信。” „You can also think that should make the northern boundary pay what price to redeem this person.” “那你也可以想想该让北境付出什么代价来赎回此人了。” The father and son-in-law two people chatted, as if had recognized Waterfront City Blood Cavalry Army cannot turn any storm. 翁婿两人谈笑间,仿佛已经认定了临水城的血骑军翻不起任何风浪。 After chatting, Count Buruqin said: „You first rest, I inspect the camp.” 说笑一阵后,布鲁根伯爵道:“你先休息一下,我去巡视一下营地。” „Good.” Count Ivan depends on a sturdy tree trunk to sit down. “好。”埃文伯爵靠着一颗粗壮的树干坐下。 retinue from wants to help him take off the armor, but Count Ivan actually shakes the head the rejection saying: „It is not anxious, after waiting for the darkness .” 扈从本想帮他脱下铠甲,但埃文伯爵却摇头拒绝道:“不急,等天黑以后吧。” Turns the head to see that own protection knight- Fletcher is standing in not far away, the whole body covers in the armor, the back supports straightly, as if long distance march has not had any influence on him like this. 转头看到自己的守护骑士-弗莱彻正站在不远处,全身都笼罩在铠甲中,腰杆挺得笔直,仿佛这样的长途行军对他没有产生任何影响。 Count Ivan somewhat envies at heart, but high sound said: „Fletcher knight, sits to rest.” 埃文伯爵心里有些羡慕,但还是高声道:“弗莱彻骑士,坐过来休息一下吧。” Fletcher knight hears word, then walked to bow a ritual, even the helmet has not picked, like this is silent sitting down. 弗莱彻骑士闻言,便走了过来躬身一礼,连头盔都没有摘,就这样沉默着坐下。 Count Ivan cared that asked: „Your wound how?” 埃文伯爵关心地问道:“你的伤怎么样了？” Fletcher knight gawked staring, hesitated the moment then to return to the covered passageway with the stiff hoarse intonation: „It‘s nothing obstructs greatly.” 弗莱彻骑士愣了愣,迟疑了片刻然后才用僵硬沙哑的语调回复道:“没什么大碍。” Afterward then fell into silent. 随后便又陷入了沉默。 Count Ivan cannot see clearly Fletcher knight to hide the complexion under armor, but thought that can understand his mood. 埃文伯爵看不清弗莱彻骑士藏在铠甲下的脸色,但却觉得能够理解他的心情。 Thinks that the opposite party for the matter of alfalfa city was still feeling rebukes oneself with shamefacedly, then put out a hand to pat the racket on his armor, comforted saying: 以为对方还在为了苜蓿城的事情感到自责和羞愧,便伸手在他的铠甲上拍了拍,安慰道: „Relax, we can wash off that shame quickly!” “放心,我们很快就能洗刷那份耻辱了！” Fletcher knight nods, still has not spoken. 弗莱彻骑士点了点头,依然没有说话。 Count Ivan is looking at busily actually the ordered Fire Velvet Army camp, suddenly also silent. 埃文伯爵望着忙碌却又有序的火绒军营地,一时间也沉默了下来。 As the duke second son, the experience of his many leading, the St. Plossi family's direct descendant army Pegasus regiment, always has not actually been commanded by his Elder Brother marquis Vincent. 作为公爵次子,他其实并没有多少领军的经验,圣普洛斯家族的嫡系军队天马军团,向来是由他的哥哥文森特侯爵统帅的。 Although he has displayed does not care, but Count Ivan heart deep place, hopes that can have one powerful incomparable, and can for the army that oneself charge. 虽然他一直表现得对此不在意,但埃文伯爵内心深处,还是希望能够拥有一支强大无匹,而又能够为自己冲锋的军队。 Especially when he discovered, the position of eastern boundary duke really when own tentacle may unexpectedly and in the range, this thought became incomparably intense. 尤其是当他发现,东境公爵之位竟真的在自己触手可及的范围内时,这个念头就变得无比强烈了。 Although present Fire Velvet Army is powerful, but after all is the Buruqin family's private army. 眼前的火绒军虽然强大,但毕竟是布鲁根家族的私军。 Perhaps, after this fights, oneself must to the reconstruction many desserts of Pegasus regiment...... 或许,这一战之后,自己就要对天马军团的重建工作多上点心了…… Sun sets in the west gradually, in the Fire Velvet Army camp started to fill the meat to be fragrant unexpectedly. 太阳渐渐西斜,火绒军的营地中竟开始弥漫起了肉香。 Count Ivan also takes retinue from handing over roasting must the golden yellow mutton leg, the big mouth gnaw to nip. 埃文伯爵也已经拿着扈从递过来的烤得金黄的羊腿,大口啃咬了起来。 After eating one, he some doubts asked: „Hasn't Count Buruqin come back?” 吃了一阵后,他才有些疑惑地问道:“布鲁根伯爵还没有回来吗？” retinue from shaking the head, said: „Does Count Sir, want me to have a look?” 扈从摇摇头,道:“伯爵大人,要不要我去看看？” „Does not use.” “不用。” Count Ivan beckons with the hand, copes with front mutton leg again earnestly. 埃文伯爵摆摆手,再次埋头对付起面前的羊腿。 At this moment, hoofbeat makes Count Ivan raise the head rapidly again. 就在这时,一阵急促地马蹄声让埃文伯爵再次抬头。 „Father-in-law Sir, the dinner has prepared, comes...... the Count Ivan words to tell only half quickly”, actually sees Count Buruqin the complexion is not right, the remaining halves then swallowed. “岳父大人,晚餐已经准备好了,快来……”埃文伯爵话说到一半,却见布鲁根伯爵脸色不对,剩下的半截便又咽了下去。 Count Buruqin turns over/stands up dismount, anxious sound said: „We met the Blood Cavalry Army sentry post to ride!” 布鲁根伯爵翻身下马,急声道:“我们遇见血骑军的哨骑了！” Count Ivan gawked staring, then said: „Blood Cavalry Army not possible to come in our directions? Can be they remains south monitors the Fire Velvet Army searching sentry post?” 埃文伯爵愣了愣,然后才道:“血骑军不可能往我们这个方向来吧？会不会是他们留在南边监视火绒军的探哨？” „Is impossible!” Count Buruqin shakes the head firmly, „ that is not 1-2 fragmentary sentry posts rides, but is a sentry post rides the formation! We let out the investigation sentry post to ride suffer a loss! “不可能！”布鲁根伯爵坚定地摇摇头,“那不是1-2零星的哨骑,而是一支哨骑编队！我们放出去探查的哨骑都吃了大亏！ Blood Cavalry Army definitely in nearby! ” 血骑军肯定就在附近！” Count Ivan opened the mouth, obviously was startled by this news. 埃文伯爵张大了嘴巴,显然被这个消息惊到了。 But Count Buruqin has ordered decisively: 而布鲁根伯爵已经果断下令道: „Array! Prepares to meet the enemy!” “列阵！准备迎敌！”
