„We pursue Blackwater following the claw seal, then we discovered that these strange beast have not forded, they turned curved in the riverside , to continue to escape toward the forest. Many strange beast only see the bloodstain, has not actually seen the corpse, it is estimated that drew by Beastman or these Werewolf to the lair.” “我们顺着爪印一路追到黑水河,然后我们发现这些异兽并没有渡河,它们在河边拐了一个弯,继续朝森林里逃去。许多异兽只见到血迹,却没有见到尸体,估计被野兽人或者那些狼人拉到巢穴里去了。” Early winter the season, the temperature has fallen to make the situation that one is unable to endure. After waiting for Walt and Lawrence rests, Rod then called two people. He must know the situation outside castle, although this castle seems like very firm reliable, but compared with the city wall and tower, Rod believes the situation and hard strength. Without information Lord is the wolf that loses the sense of smell, the firm castle meets large-scale siege weapon is also the dregs. The Rod wish is the hope before the enemy arrives prepares. Naturally, the residents in many small towns actually do not think like this. 初冬时节,气温已经降到了令人无法忍受的地步。等沃特和劳伦斯休息完之后,罗德便将两人重新叫了上来。他要了解城堡外的情况,这座城堡虽然看上去十分坚固可靠,但是比起城墙和高塔,罗德更相信情况和硬实力。没有情报的领主就是失去嗅觉的狼,再坚固的城堡遇到大规模攻城武器也是渣。罗德的意愿是希望在敌人到来之前做好更充分的准备。当然,许多小镇上的居民其实并不这样想。 „Are corpse many? I refer to strange beast and normal animal.” “尸体多吗？我是指异兽和正常的动物。” Rod sits on the oneself exclusive seat, is inquiring earnestly. 罗德坐在自己的专属座椅上,认真的询问着。 „Many...... were more than old times. Moreover, can see that many prey were not killed by the long-range weapon, but was hacked to death directly, bites to death.” “多……比往年要多。而且,可以看到许多猎物不是被远程武器杀死的,而是直接被砍死,咬死的。” Knight-errant Lawrence replied. In his grey eye reveals an anxious mood, obviously, does not need Lord to analyze, he has been able oneself to judge the fearfulness of this strange beast tide. In the hunting for way of human, kills the prey with the lance or the bow and arrow long-distance range, waits for the prey injured to run, bleeding are too much and dies. At this time the hunter walked the result again the prey. However, these Beastman and Werewolf obviously are not such matter. They on direct, at a rate of oneself with strength suppression prey. This is normal human cannot achieve. But such corpse are more, showed that Beastman are also more. 游侠劳伦斯回答到。他灰色的眼睛里流露出一丝不安的情绪,显然,不用领主分析,他已经可以自己判断出这次异兽潮的可怕。以人类的捕猎方式,是用长矛或者弓箭远距离射杀猎物,等猎物受伤跑起来,流血过多而死。这时候猎人再走上去结果了猎物。然而,这些野兽人和狼人显然不是这么回事。他们直接上,自己和力量压制猎物。这是正常人类所做不到的。而这样的尸体越多,证明野兽人也就越多。 Rod also has same worry. The information in the past several days all was not the good news, therefore he was ready long time ago, ordering the person's ore reserve in the castle to sell again, purchased more arrows and javelins, when to prepare when the time comes the Beastman besieged city, can drive back them with the long-range weapon. 罗德同样有着相同的担忧。近几天来的情报皆不是什么好消息,于是他早早就做好准备,命令人将城堡中矿石储备再多卖一些,购置更多的弓箭和标枪,以备到时候野兽人围城时,可以用远程武器逼退他们。 The castle is the people's firmest defense line, the castle scale that but Rod guards is not big, Blackhammer Fort in the barren northern wilderness, food reserve is naturally impossible is too many, therefore, once Blood Moon approaches, when Beastman and Werewolf mount a large-scale attack, the refugee who can give shelter to are not naturally many. This is many people leaves the reason of small town early before winter in abundance. 城堡是人民最坚固的防线,但是罗德所镇守的这座城堡规模并不大,黑锤堡地处贫瘠的北方荒原,食物储备自然也不可能太多,所以,一旦血月来临,野兽人和狼人大举进攻之时,可以收留的难民自然也不多。这便是许多人早在冬天到来之前就纷纷离开小镇的原因。 Nearby Blackhammer Fort has a gulf mine, this is attracts these civilians to come this's only reason. As Lord, Rod is not low to everyone's wage and reward, this is also Blackhammer Fort also has the reason of No. several hundred resident until now. 黑锤堡附近有一座深坑矿场,这是吸引那些平民来此的唯一理由。作为领主,罗德给大家的薪水和报酬不算低,这也是黑锤堡时至今日还有几百号居民的原因。 „Beastman and Werewolf...... were right, did Murros, autumn dispatch Empire that trade merchant ship to have the news?” “野兽人、狼人……对了,穆罗斯,秋天派往帝国的那艘贸易商船有消息了吗？” Under two masters is reporting, Rod knows probably after the situation, then inquired another matter. This is drags Steward Murros to do. 两名手下你一言我一语的汇报着,罗德大概知道情况后便询问起了另一件事。这是拖管家穆罗斯去做的。 This is a fifty -year-old man, according to remembering, Rod knows, this Steward followed the oneself family to do the most lifetime, therefore, many matters can feel relieved that probably gave him to do. 这是一名五十几岁的老头,根据记忆,罗德知道,这管家跟着自己家族干了大半辈子,所以,许多事大概都可以放心交给他去做。 „Also no, it is estimated that in a short time did not come back, the coastline was blocked by Norscan, they do not come ashore plundering to calculate well. Has not received including the letter/believes, I estimated that John Captain hides in the Empire harbor has not dared to come out.” “还没,估计短时间内是回不来了,海岸线被诺斯卡人封锁了,他们不上岸掠夺已经算不错的了。连封信都没收到,我估计约翰船长躲在帝国的港口内还不敢出来。” Loyal Steward Murros replied. 忠诚的管家穆罗斯回答到。 Rod is somewhat disappointed, but this cannot blame oneself. The Blackhammer Fort remote place, in the territory the only source of income is that mine, one year of excavation deducts the worker wages, only then to autumn had accumulated, wants to purchase the Empire firearm, that is not small expenses. 罗德有些失望,但是这不能怪自己。黑锤堡穷乡僻壤,领地内唯一的收入来源就是那座矿场,一年的挖掘扣去工人工资,也只有到了秋天才有所积累,想要购买帝国的火器,那可不是一笔小的开销。 In fact, Blackhammer Fort has the development opportunities, Rod knows, although here climate is cold, but around the small town has the big piece plain area to do farm work, the soil is fertile, one year of crop can achieve one time. Moreover, in Black Forest has the large amounts of log resources, these can develop the channel that increases the family fortunes. However , because of here special geographical environment, situated in Kislev Kingdom northernmost, everywhere is the old influence that Chaos leaves behind, the castle is unable to give shelter to too many civilians, causes every winter, civilians will drain massively, moves avoids the attack of Beastman and Werewolf to southern big town. 事实上,黑锤堡还是有发展空间的,罗德知道,虽然这里气候寒冷,但是小镇周围就有大片平原地区可以耕耘,土壤还算肥沃,一年收成一次还是可以做到的。另外,黑森林里拥有大量的原木资源,这些都是可以发展发家的渠道。然而,还是因为这里特殊的地理环境,位于基斯里夫王国最北端,到处是混沌留下的旧势力,城堡无法收留太多的平民,导致每到冬季,平民的就会大量流失,搬迁到南部的大城镇躲避野兽人和狼人的袭击。 The population fluidity is too big, without the resident, causing the economy unable to promote a scale, Rod this poor Lord not to have the means forever to hire more soldiers forever. This is a vicious circle. 人口流动性太大,没有常驻居民,导致经济永远无法提升一个档次,罗德这个穷领主也就永远没办法雇佣起更多的士兵。这是一个恶性循环。 Otherwise, if can defend town, protects the good civilians, then, many industries then can have the possibility of development. Therefore, Rod sends for the Empire purchase firearm, tries to enable the civilians to have the security sense through the advanced weapon. 反之,如果可以守住城镇,保护好平民,那么,许多产业便可以有发展的可能。为此,罗德派人去帝国购置火器,试图通过先进的武器来使得平民更有安全感。 However the pirate is rampant, this road walks cautiously. As for going south to plead the support of Kingdom aristocrat influence, that did not need to think, coped with Beastman, the firearm and Magic were the keys, the normal showdown, Beastman can deal with five human adults with ease, but there is a firearm, hid in the castle, a human soldier can get rid of more than ten Beastman...... same, Mage, can cope with more than ten 20 Beastman and Werewolf. 但是海盗猖獗,这条路走得如履薄冰。至于南下恳求王国贵族势力的支持,那更不用想,对付野兽人,火器和魔法是关键,正常的对决,一个野兽人可以轻松对付五个人类成年人,但是有了火器,躲在城堡内,一个人类士兵可以干掉十几个野兽人……同样,一个巫师,也可以对付十几二十个野兽人和狼人。 Kislev does not lack Mage, but Ice Queen is pit goods, she continued this Kingdom over a hundred years of tradition, all Ice Witch must accept the unified training and learn/study in the capital. Where arrives at also to pass through agreeing of Principal College of Magic. Blackhammer Fort, a very tiny area, Queen is impossible to send her Mage to come to here. Otherwise, high reward Rod is also acceptable. 基斯里夫并不缺巫师,但是冰雪女王就是一个坑货,她延续了这个王国上百年的传统,所有冰雪巫师必须在首都接受统一的训练、学习。到哪里也必须经过魔法学院校长的首肯才可以。黑锤堡,弹丸之地,女王是绝不可能派她的巫师来这里的。否则,高报酬罗德也是可以接受的。 While several people, because these broken matters worry, out of the door, resounded the guard rapid sound of footsteps. 正当几个人因为这些破事而发愁的时候,门外,响起了卫兵急促的脚步声。 „Werewolf...... we caught Werewolf. Sir......” “狼人……我们抓到狼人了。大人……” Because the guards are excited, the spoken language is off and on, however the unexpected news makes the people set out from the stool immediately. Just like Rod, knight-errant Lawrence and cavalry Walt also wants to have a look, what kind of scene grasps Werewolf exactly is. 卫兵因为兴奋,言语断断续续,但是出乎意料的消息还是让众人立即从凳子上起身。和罗德一样,游侠劳伦斯和骑兵沃特也想看看,活抓一个狼人是怎样的景象。 ...... …… Detains the Werewolf shackles is the iron prison van. In not the big town square, gathered over a hundred civilians to visit. They very few see the Werewolf captive, stands by the prison van carefully is observing. In the look brings curiously, has the fear. 关押狼人的牢笼是铁质的囚车。不大的城镇广场上,聚集了上百名平民前来观摩。他们很少见到狼人俘虏,纷纷站在囚车旁仔细的观察着。眼神里带着好奇,又带着恐惧。 According to the view of guard, seizes Werewolf the time directly does not grasp, they first trap, makes the bait with an entire bellwether, then held him with the fishing net, then wounds with the poison-tipped arrow he. When the guard spoke the entire process, some Rod cannot help but big. Grasps slow-witted Werewolf, must use such with effort, several people catch with joint forces. If this trades to do in the battlefield, these human soldiers are not the Werewolf appetizer...... 按照卫兵的说法,抓捕狼人的时候不是直接抓的,他们先设下了陷阱,用一整头羊做诱饵,而后用渔网抓住了他,再用毒箭射伤他。当卫兵讲完整个过程的时候,罗德不由得有些头大。抓一个笨头笨脑的狼人,要用这么费力,几个人合力才抓到。这要是换做在战场上,这些人类士兵不就是狼人的开胃菜而已……
