六百二十四Persuasion
劝说Across the crowdedstreet, DukeSt. LandersandscholarYalearrive at the Storm Fortcentralcastle.
穿过拥挤的街道,圣兰德斯公爵和耶鲁格学士来到风暴要塞的中心城堡。Aswesterngateway that the redflamegets, Storm Fortis the subordinateterritory of imperial family, thiscastlenaturally is also the St. Lawrence Familyprivate property.
作为绯焰领的西方门户,风暴要塞是皇室的直属领地,这座城堡当然也是圣洛伦佐家族的私产。
The lowturret, the narrow and smallwindow and thickwall...... thiscastlesacrificedfor the military purposewas artisticandcomfortable.
低矮的塔楼、狭小的窗户、厚实的墙壁……这座城堡为了军事用途牺牲了美观和舒适。On the motleywallalsoremainsto havedoes not know the trace of fightwhenstays behind, the dense and numerousthornsclimb up, hiddenmosttracesquietly.
斑驳的墙壁上还残留有不知何时留下的战斗的痕迹,密密麻麻的荆棘攀爬而过,将大部分的痕迹都悄然隐藏。„Your majestyin?”
“陛下在吗?”DukeSt. Landersstops the footstepsbefore a leaf of spaciouswooden door, askedin a soft voice.圣兰德斯公爵在一扇宽大的木门前停下脚步,轻声问道。
The guardsnod, actuallydeclines saying:
侍卫点点头,却又拒绝道:„Sorry, perhapsdukeSir, your majestydoes not facilitateto seeyounow......”
“抱歉,公爵大人,陛下现在恐怕不方便见您……”DukeSt. Landerssmiles helplessly, is aboutto leave.圣兰德斯公爵无奈一笑,正准备离开。Butat this moment, the wooden doorsuddenlyopenedfrominside, an untidymaidservantlookpokes head insorrowful and uneasy, whisperedseveralin the entranceguardear.
但就在这时,木门突然从里面打开了,一名衣衫不整的侍女神色凄惶地探出头来,在门口的侍卫耳边嘀咕了几句。Afterward, the guardthenalsowalked.
随后,侍卫便也走了进去。DukeSt. Landerslooks at each otheronewithscholarYale, hasto waitsame place.圣兰德斯公爵跟耶鲁格学士对视一眼,只好在原地等着。Before long, theythensaw the guardto walkagain, butin the bosomis also holding a corpse.
不一会儿,他们便见侍卫再次走了出来,只是怀中还抱着一具尸体。DukeSt. Landersnaturallyknowswhat's the matter.圣兰德斯公爵自然知道是怎么回事。
Since Broken Sky Mountain Rangedisastrous defeat, the temperament of RinehartGreat Emperoreven moreis hot tempered, dies the maidservantin his handsnot to know that hadmany.
自从天断山脉的惨败之后,莱因哈特大帝的脾气就越发暴躁,死在他手中的侍女已经不知道有多少了。„DukeSir, your majestymakesyougo.”
“公爵大人,陛下让您进去。”„Good.”
“好。”DukeSt. Landersmanaged the clothing, immediatelygotscholarYaleto walk.圣兰德斯公爵理了理衣衫,随即领着耶鲁格学士走了进去。In the roomalsoremains the happygoodlaterobsceneaura, RinehartGreat Emperoris wrapping a sleeping robesimply, barefootstandson the floor, is filling the red winetoward the mouth.
房间中还残留着欢好之后的淫靡气息,莱因哈特大帝就简单地套着一件睡袍,光着脚站在地板上,自顾自地往口中灌着红酒。
When hearsDukeSt. LandersandscholarYaleregards, heputs down the wine glass, is slanting the bleary eyes, askedill-humoredly:
听到圣兰德斯公爵和耶鲁格学士的问候时,他才放下酒杯,斜着醉眼,没好气地问道:„Do you twodo? Did the Orcarmysoonarrive?”
“你们两个来干嘛?兽人大军快要到了?”DukeSt. Landersshakes the head, said:圣兰德斯公爵摇摇头,道:
„ Alsono, your majesty. Orcis busyplunderingto grabin the westboundary, has not built upeast-bound.
“还没有,陛下。兽人正忙着在西境搜刮劫掠,还没有重新集结起来东进。However, according toscoutingreport, Iestimate,
不过,按照斥候的报告,我估计,Hasagainfor half a monthabout, the vanguard of Orcarmyshouldarrive inStorm Fort. ”
再有半个月左右,兽人大军的前锋就该抵达风暴要塞了。”„Do youaskmeto do?”RinehartGreat Emperorstartsto pour liquor down the throattoward the mouth.
“那你们来找我干什么?”莱因哈特大帝又开始往嘴里灌酒。DukeSt. Landerswas not presented any look of despisingbyowncomplexionstrongly,圣兰德斯公爵竭力不让自己的脸色出现任何鄙夷的神色,Althoughhetrulylooks down uponthisemperorvery much,
虽然他确实很看不起这个皇帝,Although the relations between southernboundary and imperial familywere not harmonious,
虽然南境与皇室之间的关系一直都并不和睦,Butwithishuman, under DukeSt. Landersalso can only repressdisdaining in heart,
但同为人类,圣兰德斯公爵也只能按耐下心中的不屑,Triesto save the currentaspect.
试图挽救当前的局面。Let alone, the northernboundarycommandis announced as the rebelnow, the lord of alsovacancyeasternboundary,
更何况,如今北境统帅被宣布为叛逆,东境之主还空缺着,
The westboundaryduke the life and deathdoes not know that...... insuchsituation, DukeSt. Landersknowsifoneselfdo not stand, perhaps the brillianceempiremustbe led into the abyss of destructionbythisstupidemperorat present.
西境公爵又生死不知……这样的情况下,圣兰德斯公爵知道自己如果再不站出来,恐怕光辉帝国都要被眼前这个愚蠢的皇帝带入毁灭的深渊。
„ Your majesty, inStorm Fortgatherstoo many refugee who escapesfrom the westboundarynow, has exceeded the withstandinglimit of thisfort,
“陛下,如今风暴要塞中聚集了太多从西境逃出来的难民,已经超过了这座要塞的承受极限,If this had continued,
如果再这样下去,Perhapsdoes not needand otherOrcto hit,
恐怕不用等兽人打过来,
The fortmusthave the riot! ”
要塞内部就要发生暴乱了!”„Theydare!” The RinehartGreat Emperortwoeyesstare,
“他们敢!”莱因哈特大帝两眼一瞪,
„ Whodaresto act unreasonablyin the fort,
“谁敢在要塞中乱来,Killeddirectlyis! ”
直接杀了就是!”HelplessDukeSt. Landerssaid:圣兰德斯公爵无奈道:
„ Your majesty, light/onlybyslaughteringis unable to solve the problem, let alone,
“陛下,光靠杀戮是无法解决问题的,更何况,Theyare the EmpirePeople! Bestway, makesthemleaveStorm Fort, goes to the redflameto leadto avoidtemporarily. ”
他们都是帝国子民啊!最好的办法,还是让他们离开风暴要塞,去绯焰领暂时躲避。”„Thenmakesthemrollonhurrying!”RinehartGreat Emperordoes not wavepatiently.
“那就赶紧让他们滚啊!”莱因哈特大帝不耐烦地挥挥手。
„ Your majesty,
“陛下,Because ofyouinStorm Fort, and empirearmiesgathershere,
因为您在风暴要塞,以及帝国大军在这里聚集,Mostrefugeesthought that hereis the institute of security,
大部分难民们觉得这里才是安全之所,
It is not willingto leave...... ”
都不愿离开……”„What to do did yousayshould?”Valley
“那你说该怎么办?”谷„Your majesty, Iwantsto askyouto act, declared that the empirearmieswill soon evacuateStorm Fort, suchrefugeewill naturally departon own initiative......”
“陛下,我想请您出面,宣称帝国大军即将撤离风暴要塞,这样难民自然会主动离去……”
!
啪!
A finehighfootwine glasspoundsnearbyDukeSt. Landers,
一只精致的高脚酒杯砸在圣兰德斯公爵跟前,
The red wine in cupsplashedhis.
杯中的红酒溅了他一身。AfterwardthentransmitsRinehartGreat Emperorangryroaring of:
随后便传来莱因哈特大帝愤怒的咆哮:
„ Does not remove!
“不撤!So long asI have the one breath,
只要我还有一口气在,Thenwill never withdrawagainonestep!
便永远不会再后撤一步!ThesedamnOrcdo not wantto go to myterritoryto wreak havocforever!
那些该死的兽人永远也别想去我的领地上肆虐!
”
”DukeSt. Landersregardingsomeresponseexpectations of RinehartGreat Emperor, is onlycalmlyand other opposite partyventedearlyat this time, thenopens the mouth saying:圣兰德斯公爵对于莱因哈特大帝的反应早有预料,此时也只是静静地等对方发泄完毕,然后才重新开口道:
„ Your majesty, Inaturallydo not urgeyouto withdraw troops,
“陛下,我当然不是要劝您撤军,Thisis only the fraud of letting the refugeeon own initiativeevacuation. ”
这只是一个让难民主动撤离的骗局而已。”„Right?”RinehartGreat Emperorslightlywas calm a point, butis frowning saying that
“是吗?”莱因哈特大帝稍微冷静了一点,但还是皱着眉头道,„But does thiswantmeto lieto the EmpirePeople?”
“但这样岂不是要我向帝国子民撒谎?”„Of course not.”DukeSt. Landersanswersimmediately, „youdeclaredmustwithdraw troops, the specific time also had not announced. Waits for the Orcarmyto arrive inStorm Fort, youthencanwithguarding the rightexcuse of fort, announced that cancels the withdrawal plan.”
“当然不是。”圣兰德斯公爵立刻解释道,“您只是宣称要撤军而已,具体时间又没有公布。等兽人大军抵达风暴要塞,您便可以用守卫要塞的正当借口,宣布取消撤军计划。”RinehartGreat Emperorlowers the headto hesitate, feasibility that shouldconsiderthismeans.
莱因哈特大帝低头沉吟,应该是在考虑这个办法的可行性。scholarYalewatches critically, seesRinehartGreat Emperornot to rejectimmediately, in the heartto the assurance of ownstrategy was also bigseveralpoints.
耶鲁格学士冷眼旁观,见莱因哈特大帝没有立刻拒绝,心中对自己计策的把握又大了几分。According tohisjudgment, Orchasenormously may bypassStorm Fort, marches the redflamelead(er)directly.
按照他的判断,兽人有极大的可能会绕过风暴要塞,直接进军绯焰领。If so, RinehartGreat Emperorcancels the excuse of withdrawal plan unable to be established.
如果真是这样,那莱因哈特大帝取消撤军计划的借口根本就不会成立。By that time, tomaintainoneselfcommitment, the emperor of thisexcellentface can only chooseto withdraw troops.
到那时,为了维持自己的承诺,这位极好面子的皇帝只能选择撤军。As the matter stands, thiswithdrawal planalsostarted out insincerely but ended up seriously.
这样一来,这个撤军计划也就假戏真做了。However, as forremovingwhere, scholarYalein the hearthaswith the Marquis Garciadifferentplans......
不过,至于撤到哪里,耶鲁格学士心中却有着与加西亚侯爵不一样的规划……„Ok, defers toyourmeans.”RinehartGreat Emperorcannotsee through the trap that scholarYaledesignsobviously, immediatelyagrees saying that „youdraw uptime, Iwill actpublicly, announced that the empirearmywill soon withdrawStorm Fort......”
“行,就按照你的办法。”莱因哈特大帝显然没能看穿耶鲁格学士设计的陷阱,当即同意道,“你们拟定一个时间,我会公开出面,宣布帝国军队即将撤出风暴要塞……”„Cannotremove!”
“不能撤!”
In DukeSt. LandersandscholarYalethink the planworks, the doorsuddenlyis opened, a formrushes.
就在圣兰德斯公爵和耶鲁格学士自以为计划得逞之时,房门突然被打开,一个身影闯了进来。RinehartGreat Emperorcomplexionsinks, is preparing the bastard who scoldedthisto dareto rusharbitrarily, when buthesaw clearly the facial features of person, the words that will also curseimmediatelyswallowed.
莱因哈特大帝脸色一沉,正准备呵斥这个胆敢擅自闯进来的混蛋,但当他看清来人的面容时,却立刻又将咒骂的话语咽了下去。Because, comes the lord of personimpressivelywestboundary!
因为,来人赫然正是西境之主-圣格里安公爵!
The guardsare thrown into confusionto follow, looks atRinehartGreat Emperorhelplessly, hints itselfreallyto have no wayto blockwest this boundaryduke.
侍卫手忙脚乱地跟着进来,不知所措地看着莱因哈特大帝,示意自己实在没法拦住这位西境公爵。RinehartGreat Emperorhas not felt embarrassed the guard, beckoning with the handmakeshimdraw back.
莱因哈特大帝也没有为难侍卫,摆摆手让他退下。„Duke of St.Gillian, youcanwithdraw the westernboundarysafelyare good......”
“圣格里安公爵,你能安全撤出西境正是太好了……”
The words of RinehartGreat Emperortold only halfstop suddenly, because, out of the doorwalked a formagain.
莱因哈特大帝的话说到一半就戛然而止,因为,门外再次走进来一个身影。„Reich......”
“莱希……”
After Prince Reichwalks, has not saluted, has not opened the mouthto send regards, butcalmlyis gazing atRinehartGreat Emperorwith the coldvision.莱希亲王走进来后,既没有行礼,也没有开口问候,只是用冷冽的目光静静地注视着莱因哈特大帝。RinehartGreat Emperorswallowed a spitquietly, justwantsto open the mouth, has not actually thought,today'sguest is also insufficientthisunexpectedly.
莱因哈特大帝悄悄咽了口吐沫,刚想开口,却没想,今天的客人居然还不至于此。Seesout of the doorto walk a form.
就见门外又走进来一个身影。„Mr. Wizard?”
“觋先生?”
