Just likeseveralNorthLordsaid,Rodarrived inthat night of camp, commander-in-chiefCohenthencalledinhim the oneselftent.
正如几位北境领主所说,罗德抵达营地的当天晚上,总指挥官科恩便将他叫到了自己的帐篷中。
The gentlemoonlightis covering the camp, lettingRodcanseethiscommander-in-chiefworkclearly the place.
柔和的月光笼罩着营地,让罗德可以清楚看到这位总指挥官办公的地方。Thisis a magnificenttent, the pure whitearrange/clothcurtainupper berthvariousanimal skin, on the plain white cloth of surroundingare embroideringstandingWhite Bear, thatis the Kislevpatron.

这是一顶华丽的帐篷,洁白的布幔上铺着各种兽皮,外围的白布上面绣着一头站立的白熊,那是基斯里夫的保护神。帐篷中,指挥官科恩的各种办公用品一应俱全,办公桌椅、羽毛笔、羊皮纸、行军地图、弓箭、葡萄酒……甚至还放着一张小床,罗德估计闲暇之时这个秃头会叫几个军妓来大帐内给自己暖暖床。„Blackhammer FortLordRod?”
“黑锤堡领主罗德?”In the tent, commander-in-chiefCohensitson the bearskinbigchair, a facedisdainsis asking.
帐篷中,总指挥官科恩坐在熊皮大椅上,一脸不屑的问着。Hissideis standing the twosimilarlywell-dressedperson, evidentlyprobably the aristocrat, actuallynot likeis the Northperson, seem like the Empireperson......, becausetheirattirehas the EmpireextravagantHuafeng.

他身边站着两个同样衣着华丽的人,看样子像是贵族,却不像是北境人,倒像是帝国的人……因为他们装束颇具帝国的奢华风。但是或许是首都基斯里夫来的人,自从安定的日子到来,享受之风也在基斯里夫南境蔓延开来,首都基斯里夫城半数建筑已经有帝国的建筑风格在里面。人们的服饰装束自然也或多或少受到了隔壁帝国的影响。„Yes, SirDuke.”
“是的,公爵大人。”Standsin the bigaccounts, Rodmodestreply.
站在大帐中间,罗德谦虚的回答到。„The order of Ice QueenKatarinwas before the 25 th of this month, arrived here, butyoudelayedentireoneweek of time, gaveme a reason? Otherwise, Iwill reportQueenthismatter, howyouwill receivepunishyouto be very clear.”
“冰雪女王卡特琳娜的命令是本月25日前抵达这里,但是你推迟了整整一周的时间,给我个理由?否则,我会将这件事上报女王,你将受到怎样的惩罚你很清楚。”Great GeneralCohenarrogantspeaking.

In additionBlackhammer Fortin the bleakNorthedge, is arid and barren, the castlescaleis minimum, thendid not attach great importance. PerhapsregardingNorthbiggestLordCount Shiror, thisDuke Cohenalsoto the face, butregardingRod, heseems like 100arrogances.大将军科恩傲慢的说到。他的确有傲慢的资本,不仅是因为他是这支军团的总指挥官,代表女王指挥各个领主和他们的军队。还因为他在基斯里夫算是一个公爵。基斯里夫虽大,但是拥有公爵身份的人其实不多,按照骑士-男爵-伯爵-侯爵-公爵的等级来划分,眼前这位骄傲的大将军科恩,他的等级整整高出罗德三个等级。加上黑锤堡地处荒凉的北境边缘,土地贫瘠,城堡规模极小,便更加不受人重视了。或许对于北境最大的领主希瑞尔伯爵,这位科恩公爵还会给点面子,但是对于罗德,他看上去就是一百个傲慢。„Beastmaninvadedmyterritory, Imustremainto defendmycastle......”
“野兽人入侵了我的领地,我必须留下来保卫我的城堡……”Rodis replyingneither arrogant nor servile.罗德不卑不亢的回答着。„Beastman? 50 are 100heads? Youmustdivideclearly, thatis the wild animal, isBeastman.”
“野兽人?五十头还是一百头?你要分清楚,那是野兽,还是野兽人。”Cohenhas the ridiculetoneto ask.科恩带着讥讽的口吻问着。„Beastman, Gor, Bovigor and bullguardandHarpy, the quantitysurpasses1000, SirDuke.”
“野兽人,角兽、大角兽、公牛守卫、鹰身女妖,数量超过一千,公爵大人。”Rodjustsaid,Cohenand his twoyoungaristocratlet looseto laughimmediately. The expressionis extremely exaggerating, seems a spiritual not normalperson is the same in the person of ridiculereport.罗德刚刚说完,科恩和他身边那两个年轻贵族立马放开大笑了起来。表情极度夸张,仿佛在嘲笑汇报之人是一个精神不正常的人一样。„Over1000people? BovigorandMinotaur? WhenyouIam an idiot? Rod, yourcastle I see, thatis more than 100years ago old castle that keeps, more than 100yearshas not even expanded, the townpopulationis aboutseveral hundredpeople, is the transient population, depends onsuch a smallcastle, can youblock over 1000peopleBeastmanregiments?”
“超过一千人?还是大角兽和牛头怪?你当我是白痴吗?罗德,你的城堡我了解过,那不过是一百多年前留下来的古堡,一百多年的时间甚至没怎么扩建过,城镇人口不过数百人,还是流动人口,就凭这样一座小城堡,你可以挡住一千人以上的野兽人战团?”Cohenis sayingat the same time, thattwoyoungyoungaristocratis coveringbellycheerfulsmilingin the one side.科恩一边说着,那两个年轻的小贵族在一旁捂着肚子欢快的笑着。„Looksin the Godssurface, do not boastoneself, Rod. The really1000people of Beastmanregiments, youhave becomeonepile of skeletonsnow, buriedunderyourbelovedcastle. Rather thanfootcompleteappearancehere.”
“看在诸神的面上,别吹嘘自己了,罗德。真有一千人的野兽人战团,你现在早就成为一堆尸骨,埋在你心爱的城堡下面了。而不是头脚完整的出现在这里。”Cohenspoke of a smile. Hiseyenarrowed a linequickly, the corner of the eyeglancedtoRod, the seriousatmosphereimmediatelybecamecheerful. HoweverRoddid not feellike this,theseignorantaristocrats, theydo not know the realdangeris near. 200years ago thatChaosbiginvasions, entireKislev Kingdomlostentireonegeneration, onegeneration of passedin the darkness, the mendrop to the freezing point, the widowappearsin groups.

“我可以出去了吗?”PresentpersonRoddoes not wantto see,heasked. HoweverCohenhas not saidobviously.
眼前的人罗德再也不想见到,他问到。但是科恩显然还没说完。„It is not good. Ihave the duty to arrangetoyou.”
“不行。我有任务要安排给你。”Cohenthenspoke. Hisgracefulwill pick an ice piece, throws into it the wine. Thenlies downon the bearskinbigchair, is swaying the wine glass.科恩接着说到。他优雅的将夹起一颗冰块,将它扔进葡萄酒里。而后躺在熊皮大椅上,摇晃着酒杯。„Iam listening.”
“我在听。”Rodimpatientresponse.罗德不耐烦的回应到。„Twodayslater, Imustleadthisregimentto plunder the graintoErengradsurroundingtown. Youasdefending the officer, keepinthiscamp, guardsit. And , to continue to siegeErengrad and ensure does not have the motorcadeto enterthiscityfrom the east gate.”
“两天后,我要带领这支军团到厄伦格拉德周围的城镇去掠粮。你将作为守备官,留在这座营地内,看守它。并且,继续围困厄伦格拉德,保证没有车队从东门进入这座城市。”„How manypeoplewill stay behind? Is only not enoughto siegeErengradbymymanpower.”
“多少人会留下?光靠我的人手不足以围困厄伦格拉德。”Rodasked.罗德问到。„Naturally, definitelyis not only goodbyyourperson, thatgroup of barbarians, theirmilitary ordercannot understand, will only drink the dozen of oneselfpeople. How do youchoose? Choseonepile of Norscanto be the mercenary? Couldn't yourterritorypoorhirecontinuallyto the regularsoldiers? Iwill not count on that thisgroup of barbariansdefend the campforme, will also keep400soldiers, guards the campwithyoutogether.”
“当然,光靠你的人肯定不行,那帮蛮子,他们连军令都听不懂,只会喝酒打自己人。你是怎么挑选的?挑选了一堆诺斯卡人当雇佣兵?你的领地穷到连正规士兵都雇佣不起了吗?我不会指望这堆蛮子替我守营,还将有四百名士兵会留下来,与你一起守卫营地。”Cohenshook a wine glass, returns.科恩抖了一下酒杯,回到。„700soldiers, aretoofew......”
“七百个士兵,还是太少……”„Are too few? Thatisyourabilityissue. Ifyouare unserviceable, I can only work as the logisticsUnituseyou.”
“太少吗?那是你的能力问题。你如果不能胜任,那我只能把你当后勤部队使用。”Cohenridiculedagain.科恩再次讥讽到。HelplessRod can only receive the duty. Heknows that thisisoneselfis late the penalty of commandtooneself......, buthas tomeet. Reallyworked as the logisticsarmy, not onlyoneselfcannot gain groundin the regiment, but alsologisticsUnitactuallyalsohas the risk, sends the grainin the open countryregarding the medievalworld is actually a veryriskymatter. Moreover, nowinNorth, consumptionmostlyis the grain and fodder, Blackhammer Fortwill not havehow muchgrain in storage, cannot withstandsuchconsumption. Therefore, can only comply.罗德无奈只能接受任务。他知道这算是自己迟到统帅对自己的惩罚……但是又不得不接。真当了后勤军,不仅自己在军团中抬不起头,而且后勤部队其实也有风险,在野外运送粮食对于中古世界来说其实是一件很有风险的事。而且,现在在北境,消耗的将大多是自家粮草,黑锤堡原本就没有多少存粮,根本经不起这样的消耗。所以,只能答应下来。AfterbigUnitwithdraws, can the Erengradrebel armygoto enter, Rodalsolacks self-confidenceat heart.
至于大部队撤走后,厄伦格拉德的叛军会不会趁虚而入,罗德心里也没有底。Howeverby the populationestimate of Erengrad, thiscityoriginalgarrison troopsare mostalsoseveral thousandpeople. So long asis notallsends outto sneak attackoneself, the issueis not big. Moreovertheyare impossiblereally to send outto sneak attackoneself, mustkeep the manpowerto maintain the urban law and securitycity wall, Rodis thinking......
不过以厄伦格拉德的人口估算,这座城市原来的守军最多也就几千人。只要不是全体出动来偷袭自己,问题也不大。而且他们也不可能真的全体出动来偷袭自己,总要留着人手维护城市治安和保卫城墙,罗德心想着……
