The dawn penetrates the cloud layer slowly, shines upon the golden multi-colored sunlight in this stretch of land. 晨曦慢慢地穿透云层,将金黄色的霞光映照在这片大地上。 Not the well-known weeds are stretching own body under shining of morning sun, absorbs the blood that in the battlefield has not been coagulating greedily. 不知名的野草在朝阳的照耀下舒展着自己的身躯,贪婪地吸收着战场上还未凝固的鲜血。 One flock of vultures circle in the midair, they are the death merrymakings who will not absent forever, often flies to rob together the slough, but is expelled by the eastern boundary soldiers of battlefield cleanup immediately. 一群秃鹫盘旋在半空中,它们是永不会缺席的死亡狂欢者,不时飞下来抢夺一块腐肉,但又立刻被打扫战场的东境士兵们赶走。 Count Nicolle is in trance sits on the warhorse, the strong smell of blood that often floats makes him feel a gastric disorder, but in battlefield that overlapping, the corpse of piling up, is to make this old Count almost faint. 尼科尔伯爵神情恍惚地坐在战马上,不时飘来的浓烈血腥味让他感到一阵反胃,而战场上那层层叠叠,堆积如山的尸体,更是让这位老伯爵几乎晕厥。 This fight has not made Count Nicolle be injured, under except for the fright runs all over the place to cause the helmet not to know where. 这次战斗并没有让尼科尔伯爵受伤,除了受惊之下一阵乱跑导致头盔不知掉到哪里去了。 But even returns safe and sound, this old Count actually seemed like screened out the backbone, the rickets back, the graying hair, as if all of a sudden was also years old ten. 但即便毫发无伤,这位老伯爵却像是被抽走了脊梁骨,佝偻的腰杆,斑白的头发,仿佛一下子又老了十岁。 This meeting engagement suddenly, ending was extremely also rapid. 这场遭遇战来得突然,结束得也极为迅速。 Blood Cavalry Army came up to give the eastern boundary feudal lord allied armies to strike fatally, then departed floating. 血骑军上来就给了东境领主联军致命一击,然后就飘然离去。 Actually, at that time the feudal lord allied armies had been hit completely ignorant, if Blood Cavalry Army transfers the horse's head, charges back and forth again several times, this huge and extremely fat feudal lord allied armies disintegrate immediately. 其实,当时领主联军已经完全被打懵了,如果血骑军调转马头,来回再冲锋几次,这支庞大而臃肿的领主联军就会立刻分崩离析。 If Blood Cavalry Army took advantage again the victory covers to kill, here feared few individuals to escape the life. 如果血骑军再趁胜掩杀过去,这里恐怕没几个人能逃得了性命。 Do not look that White Dew City is close at hand, but if the feudal lord allied armies collapse, even if the routed troop escapes to White Dew City , the people in city do not dare to open the city gate receive. 别看白露城就近在眼前,但如果领主联军崩溃,溃兵就算逃到白露城下,城内的人也不敢打开城门接收。 Is good because of Blood Cavalry Army not the meaning that they are ruthless. 好在血骑军并没有将他们赶尽杀绝的意思。 Count Nicolle did not think that the opposite party this is stemming from benevolent, or beyond one's reach, but is more like thought that...... does not need. 尼科尔伯爵不觉得对方这是出于仁慈,或是力有未逮,而更像是觉得……没有必要。 As if a giant patted several flies conveniently, other flies frightened randomly fly everywhere, but the giant will actually not pursue the fly 11 to pat them. 仿佛一个巨人随手拍死了几只苍蝇,其余的苍蝇吓得四处乱飞,但巨人却不会去追着苍蝇将它们一一拍死。 Naturally, if the fly will court death next time again, the giant will definitely not forgive them again. 当然,如果下次苍蝇再来找死,那巨人肯定不会再饶恕它们。 To understand this, intense ashamed and resentful and humiliation well up, Count Nicolle face rises red. 想明白了这点,一股强烈的羞愤和屈辱涌上心头,尼科尔伯爵的老脸都涨得通红。 Knows that the eastern boundary army is emaciated, but no one has thought, they were unexpectedly big with the disparity of northern boundary to this situation! 都知道东境军队孱弱无比,但谁也没想到,他们跟北境的差距竟然大到了这个地步！ Once Count Nicolle incomparably rejoiced that the eastern boundary had angry water river natural moat, but now, he feels suddenly, the angry water river was not east the barrier of boundary, but was more like a cage. 曾经尼科尔伯爵无比庆幸东境有怒水河这道天堑,但现在,他忽然觉得,怒水河并不是东境的屏障,而更像是一个牢笼。 It east the boundary person will deadlock when this greenhouse, but takes seriously the storm approaches, the flowers in greenhouse brutally are only devastated. 它将东境人锁死在这片温室中,但当真正的风暴来临时,温室中的花朵只会被无情摧残。 Reviews the northern boundary, the threat of Troll, although makes the northern boundary unable to withstand him to harass, but also the help northern boundary quenchinged a terrifying invincible cavalry! 反观北境,巨魔的威胁虽然让北境不堪其扰,但也帮助北境淬炼出了一支恐怖至极的无敌铁骑！ Merely more than 20,000 people of Blood Cavalry Army, can east the boundary big one stir earth-shakingly. 仅仅两万余人的血骑军,就能将诺大一个东境搅得天翻地覆。 Count Nicolle feels one confused suddenly- will the eastern boundary future road, where be at? 尼科尔伯爵忽然感到一阵迷茫-东境未来的路,到底在哪？ „Count Sir.” “伯爵大人。” During the ponders, the adjutant walked, in the hand raises the helmet that Count Nicolle is losing. 沉思间,副官走了过来,手上提着尼科尔伯爵丢失的头盔。 Count Nicolle sighed, received own helmet, has not actually put on, the sinking sound asked: „Casualties how?” 尼科尔伯爵叹息一声,接过自己的头盔,却没有戴上,沉声问道:“伤亡怎么样？” „Now has not completed the statistics, but according to a preliminary estimate, perhaps about 30,000 people in impacts that died in this Blood Cavalry Army......” “现在还没有完成统计,不过据初步估算,恐怕有近三万人死在了这一次血骑军的冲击中……” Count Nicolle the corners of the mouth pulled out pulling out, in the heart in the drop blood. 尼科尔伯爵嘴角抽了抽,心中在滴血。 He is also clear, the casualties that actually Blood Cavalry Army merely one wave of charge causes are impossible is so big, perhaps more people step on the escape mutually lethal, many people should panic-stricken under be the military deserter, therefore also in „casualty”. 他也清楚,其实血骑军仅仅一波冲锋造成的伤亡不可能这么大,更多的人恐怕是在逃命时相互踩踏致死的,还有不少人应该是惊恐之下当了逃兵,所以也就被记在了“死亡人数”中。 The adjutant sees Count Nicolle not to speak for a very long time, then reminded low voice: 副官见尼科尔伯爵久久不语,便小声地提醒道: „Count Sir, we enter the city as soon as possible, if Blood Cavalry Army kills again......” “伯爵大人,我们还是尽快入城吧,万一血骑军再杀回来……” Count Nicolle is then as if awakening from a dream, said repeatedly: „Right, transmitted orders to draw in the army immediately, sets out to White Dew City!” 尼科尔伯爵这才如梦初醒,连声道:“对对对,立刻传令收拢军队,向白露城进发！” „Yes!” “是！” Under this order, the feudal lord allied armies responded are quite rapid, even if the battlefield has not cleaned, but they could not have attended to these. 这道命令之下,领主联军反应极为迅速,哪怕战场还没有打扫完毕,但他们已经顾不上这些了。 Everyone's idea enters a city immediately, this whole life do not meet Blood Cavalry Army in the open country battlefield. 所有人的想法都是立刻进城,这辈子都不要在野外战场上遇见血骑军了。 ...... …… „Count Sir, here invited.” “伯爵大人,这边请。” Count Nicolle follows to face in the Bailu fort the courtyard to walk when the steward, lowers the head to think later sees Duke St. Plossi, how should explain to him. 尼科尔伯爵跟在管家后面向白露堡内庭走去,低着头想着待会儿见到圣普洛斯公爵时,到底该怎么跟他解释。 During the ponders, Count Nicolle notices in the castle to fill the air has not constrained atmosphere. 沉思间,尼科尔伯爵也没有注意到城堡中弥漫着的压抑至极的气氛。 Before arriving at the duke study room, Count Nicolle put in order the collar, takes away the loud wooden door gently. 来到公爵书房前,尼科尔伯爵整了整衣领,轻轻扣响木门。 „Comes.” “进来吧。” Hearing is the voice of duchess, Count Nicolle has not cared, immediately pushes the door to enter. 听到是公爵夫人的声音,尼科尔伯爵也没有在意,当即推门而入。 In study room two, but besides the duchess, another person is actually not Duke St. Plossi who Count Nicolle thinks, but is Ivan St. Plossi. 书房内有两人,但除了公爵夫人之外,另外一人却并不是尼科尔伯爵以为的圣普洛斯公爵,而是伊凡・圣普洛斯。 Count Nicolle slightly some doubts, but goes forward to salute the regards. 尼科尔伯爵微微有些疑惑,但还是上前行礼问候。 Even if this Ivan does not have the title in the body, is only the knight of St. Plossi family collateral branch family background, but the attitude of Count Nicolle is also respectful. 哪怕这位伊凡并无爵位在身,只是圣普洛斯家族旁系出身的一名骑士,但尼科尔伯爵的态度也同样恭敬。 Because, the Elder Brother of Ivan knight- Morson St. Plossi, is the eastern boundary in Consul of Upper House. 因为,伊凡骑士的哥哥-伊莫森・圣普洛斯,正是东境在元老院的执政官。 Therefore, Ivan knight, although the strength is average, the prestige is also ordinary, but is actually in the St. Plossi family a quite substantive character. 所以,伊凡骑士虽然实力平平,威望也一般,但却是圣普洛斯家族中一位颇有分量的人物。 The duchess hints Count Nicolle to take a seat, then opens the mouth to ask: „Count Nicolle, the situation outside city how?” 公爵夫人示意尼科尔伯爵入座,然后开口问道:“尼科尔伯爵,城外的情况怎么样？” Count Nicolle looks awkwardly, but also has to report war outside city probably. 尼科尔伯爵面露尴尬,但也只好将城外的战事情况大概汇报了一遍。 Naturally, in this process, he will evade the important questions for the easy unavoidably, finds some excuses of getting free for oneself, how but regardless of he plasters, is unable to change Blood Cavalry Army washout feudal lord allied armies army, established facts that breaks through smoothly. 当然,这个过程中,他难免会避重就轻,为自己找些开脱的理由,但无论他怎么粉饰,也无法改变血骑军冲溃领主联军军阵,顺利突围的既定事实。 The duchess calmly listens to narration of Count Nicolle, has not blamed, instead helps elucidate saying: 公爵夫人静静听完尼科尔伯爵的讲述,却没有责备,反而帮着开解道: „Count Nicolle, this matter truly cannot blame you. No one has thought that Blood Cavalry Army is so unexpectedly decisive on the choice evacuates, in then situation, no one is able to prevent wholeheartedly Blood Cavalry Army that wants to break through.” “尼科尔伯爵,这事确实不能怪你们。谁也没想到血骑军居然那么果断就选择撤离,当时的情况下,谁也无法阻止一心想要突围的血骑军。” „Thank your understanding!” Count Nicolle relaxes, but also asked immediately, „where does not know duke Sir now, regardless of this time I did hold true by, fought a defeat after all, therefore wants to implore forgiving of duke Sir face to face.” “感谢您的理解！”尼科尔伯爵松了口气,但随即又问道,“不知公爵大人现在哪里,这次无论我有什么理由,总归是打了一场败仗,所以想当面祈求公爵大人的原谅。” This saying, the scene was peaceful immediately. 这话一出,场面顿时安静了下来。 On the duchess face full is the thick sorrowful color, Ivan knight also lowers the head, seems mourning silently. 公爵夫人脸上满是浓浓的悲痛之色,伊凡骑士也低下了头,仿佛在默默哀悼。 Count Nicolle also puzzled blinks, thinks oneself spoke incorrectly what words. 尼科尔伯爵还一脸疑惑地眨了眨眼睛,以为自己说错了什么话。 But immediately, he heard a shocking news from the duchess mouth: 但随即,他就从公爵夫人口中听到了一个骇人听闻的消息: „Count Nicolle, Duke St. Plossi encounters the assassination in the Haar manor, perhaps more unfortunate than fortunate......” “尼科尔伯爵,圣普洛斯公爵在霍尔庄园遭遇刺杀,恐怕已经凶多吉少了……” „Wha...... what?” Count Nicolle opened the mouth, long time slow the god has not come. “什……什么？”尼科尔伯爵张大了嘴巴,半晌没缓过神来。 But immediately, he pursues immediately asks: „Listens to your meaning, now was unable to determine whether duke Sir has been murdered?” 但随即,他就立刻追问道:“听您的意思,现在还不能确定公爵大人是否已经遇害？” „ According to at that time the Fatt knight on the scene, the duke was pierced the right chest by the long spear/gun, was stabbed the chest by a dagger......, because the duke was taken away by the northern boundary person, therefore cannot determine his life and death. “据当时在场的穆法特骑士说,公爵被长枪刺穿了右胸,又被一把匕首刺中了心口……但因为公爵被北境人带走了,所以并不能确定他的生死。 However...... ” 不过……” The duchess covered the mouth, seems unable to control own grief. 公爵夫人捂住了嘴巴,似乎无法控制自己的伤痛。 Count Nicolle a brain confusion, felt like the day to collapse generally. 尼科尔伯爵大脑一片混乱,感觉像是天塌了一般。 At this time, Ivan knight opened the mouth to urge: „ Duchess, Count Sir, now is also not the sorrowful time, although Blood Cavalry Army retreats for the time being, who knows that can stage a comeback. 这时,还是伊凡骑士开口劝道:“公爵夫人,伯爵大人,现在还不是悲痛的时候,血骑军虽然暂且退去,但谁知道会不会卷土重来。 The urgent matter, must determine a duke successor, making him manage the general situation, stable will of the people. ” 当务之急,是必须确定一位公爵继承人,让他来主持大局,稳定人心。” „Right that you said.” The duchess deeply inspires, the returning to normal mood, then turns the head to look diligently to Count Nicolle, asked: “你说的对。”公爵夫人深吸一口气,努力平复情绪,然后转头看向尼科尔伯爵,问道: „Count Sir, you thought that is inherited the position of eastern boundary duke by whom, is quite appropriate?” “伯爵大人,您觉得由谁来继承东境公爵之位,比较合适？”
