At night.
夜晚。In the weakstar light, oneteam of Orcare searchingin the mountain forestcarefully.
微弱的星光中,一队兽人正在山林中仔细搜索着。Somemoment, wasOrc of headstopped the footstepssuddenly, heturned the headto lookfiercelyto a bodysidedirection, in the hand the greataxejustbrandished, sawin the darkness a formto run outloudly.
某一刻,为首的兽人忽然停下了脚步,他猛地转头看向身侧的一个方向,手中巨斧刚刚抡起,就见黑暗中一个身影轰然冲出。Bang!
嘭!
A small-scalemeeting engagementbreaks outsuddenly.
一场小型遭遇战猝然爆发。Knight Mackohitsto flyOrc, the bodylostin the balancedprocessactuallyto insert the chest of opposite party the long sword.麦寇骑士将一名兽人撞飞出去,身体失去平衡的过程中却还是将长剑插入了对方的胸膛。
After falling to the ground, Knight Mackotumblesseveral, evadesseveral that poundsto divideto cut.
落地之后,麦寇骑士翻滚几圈,躲过砸来的几道劈砍。
The companionalsoflushed, the Custerknightpushes to the front, crashing in the Orcsoldierteamisoneset of chain blows.
身后的同伴也都冲了出来,卡斯特骑士一马当先,冲进兽人士兵队伍里就是一套连击。
The bloodwavetumbles, 34Orcsoldiershave been decapitated.
血浪翻滚间,三四名兽人士兵已经身首异处。Orccounter-attacksat risk of life, becausehad gone wellby the Knight Mackosneak attack, massacredin the teamstrongestthatSkull Breaker, ordinaryOrc that remainsat all is not the opponents of twoknights, quickis cutto killcompletely.兽人拼死反击,但因为已经被麦寇骑士偷袭得手,杀掉了队伍中最强的那名碎颅者,剩下来的普通兽人根本不是两名骑士的对手,很快就被斩杀殆尽。However, theircounter-attackat the point of deathalsogavethesehumanto causebigcasualties.
不过,他们的临死反击也给这些人类造成了不小的伤亡。Afterfierce combat, Knight Mackoarrives atoneto lie down, in the groundsends outnearby the companion who wails, looksright leg that opposite partysimultaneous/uniformkneebreaks, the complexionis gloomy.
激战过后,麦寇骑士来到一个躺在地上发出哀嚎的同伴跟前,看着对方齐膝而断的右腿,脸色阴沉。„SirMacko, youdid not needto manageme, perhapsIcannotfollowyouto go to the windbreathcity.”
“麦寇大人,您不用管我了,我恐怕不能跟随你们前往风息城了。”
The Knight Mackosilentmoment, askedsuddenly: „Do youname?”麦寇骑士沉默片刻,突然问道:“你叫什么名字?”„IcalledJason, has followedyour fatherto go on an expedition for sixyears, but was just the platoon leader, thereforeyoudid not know that Iwas also normal.”
“我叫杰森,已经跟随您的父亲征战六年了,不过才刚刚担任小队长,所以您不认识我也正常。”Knight Mackolooks that since thisseveraltimes a youngmilitary officer who advises against the crudeconduct, in the heartexudes a difficultword the taste.麦寇骑士看着这位一路以来几次劝阻自己鲁莽行事的小军官,心中泛起一股难言的滋味。Viscount CusterseesKnight Mackonot to have the sound there half of the day, has toremindin a soft voice:卡斯特子爵见麦寇骑士楞在那里半天没有动静,不得不轻声提醒道:„Webestleaveas soon as possible, herequickwill attract the newOrcpursuing troops.”
“我们最好尽快离开,这里很快就会引来新的兽人追兵。”Knight Mackothenrecovers, hands overinownsaberJason, is hoarse the throat saying:麦寇骑士这才回过神来,将自己的佩剑交到杰森手里,沙哑着嗓子道:„many pullsseveralpadbacks......”
“多拉几个垫背的……”„Iunderstand!”Jasonnodslayer on layer/heavily.
“我明白!”杰森重重点了点头。Knight Mackosets outimmediately, does not returncontinuestowardeast.麦寇骑士随即起身,头也不回地继续往东。Shortly, theyhearhear the indistinctbattlesoundbehind.
没多久,他们就听到身后传来隐约的厮杀声。Knight Mackofootsteps, buthas not stayed.麦寇骑士脚步顿了顿,但还是没有停留。
The groupgo over hill and dale, the alley between choicemountains and plains, hurries totoward the windbreathcityas far as possiblefast.
一行人穿山越岭,尽量选择山野间的小路,向着风息城快速赶去。Thisline, metOrcscoutsmore and more, means that theyare away from the Orcmain forcearmy is also getting more and more near.
这一路行来,遇见的兽人斥候越来越多,意味着他们距离兽人主力大军也越来越近。However, theyalsodraw inseveralwaves of westernboundarysoldier who is defeated and dispersedfromBroken Sky Mountain Rangeon the road, the population of teamdo not reduceinsteadincrease.
不过,他们在路上还收拢几波从天断山脉溃散下来的西境士兵,队伍的人数不减反增。Mid Julytime, whenKnight Mackoand the othersrushed to the windbreathcity, had gathered100people.
七月中旬的时候,当麦寇骑士等人赶到风息城的时候,已经聚集了一百来人。At this time the Orcarmyhas not arrived in the windbreathcity, but the distance is also very near.
此时兽人大军还未抵达风息城,不过距离也已经很近了。In the air of windbreathcityis filling the scaredandanxiousaura.
风息城的空气中都弥漫着恐慌和焦躁的气息。Threecity gatescloselyare closed, only then the east gateis opening.
三面城门紧紧关闭,只有东门开着。Herewas filled withpeople of passing in and out, there arelikeKnight MackoandViscount CusterreceivesDuke of St.Gillianto recruit the command, westernboundarywarriors who give support, there arehearsOrcsoonto arrivemassively, civilians who will wantto flee from the windbreathcity.
这里挤满了进进出出的人们,既有像麦寇骑士和卡斯特子爵这样收到圣格里安公爵征召令,前来支援的西境勇士们,也有大量听到兽人即将到来,想要逃离风息城的平民们。Meanwhile, escapes the refugeestowindbreathcityby the city that in the Orcarmybreaks throughfromthese.
同时,还有从那些被兽人大军攻破的城市中逃到风息城的难民们。Theserefugeesflood into the cityto starttoStorm’s End Fort to eat, wantsStorm’s End Fortto dispatch troopsto regaintheirhomelandsimmediately, somerefugeessaw with own eyes that in the city the residentflees, thenstarts the house that occupiesto empty, from thisalsoproducedsomefrictionevenbattles, in brief, inthis timewindbreathcityis in chaos.
这些难民涌入城中开始向风息堡要吃的,又要风息堡立刻派兵收复他们的家园,还有一些难民眼见城中居民逃离,便开始占据空出来的房屋,由此还产生了一些摩擦甚至争斗,总之,此时的风息城内可谓是一片混乱。In the city the armysimplydoes not haveenoughmanpowerto keep the order, moreovertheyare busy that is readyto defend a cityat this time, so long asin the citydoes not have the chaos, theywill then not intervene.
城中军队根本没有足够的人手来维持秩序,而且他们此时正忙着做好守城的准备,只要城内没有大乱,他们便不会去干预。
After Viscount CusterandKnight Mackoenter the city, immediatelyrushes toStorm’s End Fort, wantsto seek an interviewDuke of St.Gillian, has not thought that actually the guard of castleentranceblocked.卡斯特子爵和麦寇骑士入城之后立刻赶往风息堡,想要求见圣格里安公爵,没想到却城堡门口的侍卫拦了下来。„Inthiscity everyone wantsto seedukeSir, butdukeSirwherehas the timeto see?”
“这城里每个人都想见公爵大人,但公爵大人哪有时间一个个去见?”Sees with own eyes the guardto create obstacles, Viscount Custerhasto show the status: „Iam the Little Rock Cityfeudal lord, Viscount Custer, canallowmeto enterStorm’s End Fort?”
眼见侍卫刁难,卡斯特子爵只好亮明身份:“我是小石城领主,卡斯特子爵,能让我进入风息堡吗?”„Viscount?” The guardshave not actually allowed to pass, insteadcurls the lip saying that „Little Rock Citydid defend? Withoutdefending, yourtitledoes not have.”
“子爵?”侍卫却并没有放行,反而撇撇嘴道,“小石城守住了吗?如果没守住,你的爵位已经没了。”Viscount Custerwas stopped updumbfounded, saw with own eyes that the opposite partyis not truly willingto allow to pass, two peoplehaveto leave.卡斯特子爵被堵得哑口无言,眼见对方确实不肯放行,两人只好离开。However, as the westboundaryviscount, Custerinsomewindbreathcitypersonal connections, quickfound a military officer who onceknewafter all.
不过,作为西境子爵,卡斯特总归在风息城有些人脉,很快就找到了曾经认识的一名军官。Thatmilitary officeris directing the subordinateto demolish the house near city wallto manufacture the rolling logsrock pilestone, saw after Viscount Custer, has not given any goodcomplexion:
那名军官正在指挥手下人拆毁城墙附近的房屋来制作滚木礌石,见到卡斯特子爵后也没给什么好脸色:„To seeDuke of St.Gillian? Viscount Custer, Iurgedyounot to waste the time. NowStorm’s End Fortno onecan go, let aloneyour a viscount who discards the territory, beforealsohad a Countto be blockedoutside the castle.”
“想见圣格里安公爵?卡斯特子爵,我劝你别浪费时间了。现在风息堡谁也进不去,别说你一个丢掉领地的子爵了,之前还有位伯爵被拦在了城堡外。”Viscount Custerfrowns, in the heartfullis the doubts.卡斯特子爵皱起了眉头,心中满是疑惑。
Because neededDuke of St.Gillianto actto stabilize the will of the peopleat this time, whysheinsteadblocksStorm’s End Fort, doesn't seeanybody?
因为这个时候正需要圣格里安公爵出面稳定人心,为何她反而封锁风息堡,不见任何人呢?
A dangerousthoughtappearsinhismind, makinghim unable to bear asks a low voice:
一个危险的念头浮现在他脑海中,让他忍不住低声问道:„DukeSir...... presentalsoincity?”
“公爵大人……现在还在城中吗?”Thatmilitary officerlooked atViscount Custeronewith the complexvision, latercoldsay/way:
那名军官用复杂的目光看了卡斯特子爵一眼,随后冷然道:„You , to run, hurriesto run! If willingto stay behindkillsOrc, hurriesto help! Do not thinksomeat sixes and sevensthings there!”
“你们若是想跑,就赶紧快跑!若是愿意留下杀兽人,就赶紧来帮忙!别在那里想些乱七八糟的东西!”Viscount Custerhas not spoken, Knight Mackogoes forward saying: „ImustkillOrc. Needsto help? Calculatesmyone.”卡斯特子爵还没说话,麦寇骑士就上前道:“我要杀兽人。需要帮忙吗?算我一个。”
The complexion of military officerthengentle a point, referred tofrontruins, said: „Ok, youhelpbalkto move to the city walltheseto come up.”
军官的脸色这才柔和了一点,指了指面前的废墟,道:“行,那你就帮忙把那些梁木搬到城墙上去吧。”„Good.”Knight Mackodid not think that suchworkis degrading the status, immediatelygoes forwardto help.
“好。”麦寇骑士也不觉得这样的工作有辱身份,立刻上前帮忙。Viscount Custersighed, said: „Iwill not runagain. Little Rock Citydid not have, what do Ialsorun? Iwantto know, in the cityalso how manygarrison troops, can the windbreathcityalsobe able to defend?”卡斯特子爵叹息一声,道:“我也不会再跑了。小石城都没了,我还跑什么呢?我只是想知道,城中到底还有多少守军,风息城还能不能守得住?”
The military officersimplyhas not answeredthisissue, butcontinued the directorto workhand/subordinate.
军官却根本没有回答这个问题,只是继续去指挥手下干活了。Viscount Custeris helpless, hasalsoto go forwardto helpdemolish the room.卡斯特子爵无奈,只好也上前去帮忙拆房。Butarrives in the second day of windbreathcityinKnight Macko, the firstgroup of Orcarmiesarrived atoutside the windbreathcityfinally.
而就在麦寇骑士抵达风息城的第二天,第一批兽人大军终于来到了风息城外。Afterward, groups of Orcarmiesfrom the westerneachdirection, westboundarybiggesturban aggregationtowardthis.
随后,一批批兽人大军从西边的各个方向,往这座西境最大的城市聚集过来。
The city gate of windbreathcityhas been closedcompletely, forbidsto come and go out.
风息城的城门已经全部关闭,禁止出入。ButStorm’s End Fort, stillshuts tightly the front door.
而风息堡,也依然紧闭大门。Duke of St.Gillian, disappears.圣格里安公爵,同样不见踪影。Standslooksin the top of windbreathcity, the form that inoppositewilderness, batches of accumulationscomegathers the suffocatingblack tide, fills the airall over.
站在风息城的城头望下去,对面的旷野上,一批批聚集而来的身影汇聚成令人窒息的黑潮,漫山遍野地弥漫开来。In a Orcarmyfront, lots ofhumanrefugeeswere gathered, the wail, the pitiful yellsound and begging for mercysound, resound through the wilderness.
在兽人军阵的前方,大量人类难民被聚集起来,哭泣声、惨叫声、求饶声,响彻原野。
