如今的情形比当初好太多,当初,为了接受熊神厄孙的试炼,自己必须孤身一人,前往冰封森林和巨魔山脉,那里,长年被冰雪所覆盖,可以说是寸草不生之地。现在的情况则好很多,大部队沿着海岸线前进,并且有充足的补给。由于是去掠夺和占领地盘的,每个人脸上都写着兴奋与激动,疲惫早已被忘得一干二净。
The northsky, the horizonplaceis the pink, abovechanges intograduallylight gray. Becauseisin the winter, almostdoes not have the sunlightto sprinkleto the land. Someare onlyday-by-day the gloomy and coldclimate and icy coldair.
北边的天空,地平线处是粉红色的,上面则渐渐化为浅灰。由于是冬天,几乎没有阳光洒向大地。有的只是一天天阴冷的气候和冰凉的空气。Slightlythose whomadeRod feel accidental/surprised, the place of hisoriginally thoughtNorscanlifecanbeverycoldandsevere, however, withthese daysmarchingwas thorough, Roddiscovered that the factwas notthis. The coastalclimateis not cold, according to the words of captive, here oneyearwill even have the shortsummer. Alsoisthattypeplants the picture of scallionscalliongreen. Whatis truly coldis the Norscainlandarea, northNorsca.
令罗德稍感意外的是,他原本以为诺斯卡人生活的地方会是十分寒冷而严酷的,然而,随着这些天的行军深入,罗德发现事实并不是这样的。沿海一带气候并没有那么寒冷,按照俘虏的话来说,这里一年中甚至会有短暂的夏季。也就是那种绿植葱葱的画面。真正寒冷的是诺斯卡的内陆地区,还有北诺斯卡。southNorsca, close toEmpirethis sidecoastline, the climatewill not look likeseverity that like thatEmpire and Kislevpersonimaginesin fact. Rodguessed,thisis the warm and humid air streams that becauseSea of Clawsblowscreate, the seaarrived at the rainwater and warmthto the land, therefore, the coastlineareahas the abundantrainwater and relativelywarmclimate. However, when the warm and humid air streamsmeet the precipitousmountain of Norscainland, is unable againto continue the thorough, warmentiremainland. Therefore, the mountainous arearegion of inlandthenbecomesverycolddry, the climateis severe. Here, is the place that variousgiant beastsappear and disappear.
南诺斯卡,靠近帝国这一边的海岸线,事实上气候并不会像帝国和基斯里夫人想象的那般严酷。罗德猜测,这是由于利爪海吹来的暖湿气流造成的,海洋给陆地来到了雨水和温暖,所以,海岸线一带有着充沛的雨水和相对温暖的气候。然而,当暖湿气流遇到诺斯卡内陆的险峻高山时,便无法再继续深入,温暖整块大陆。于是,内陆的山区地带便变得十分寒冷干燥,气候严酷。这里,也是各种巨兽出没的地方。Towardnorth, it is estimated thatwas again more difficultto obtain the warm and humid air streamsfromSea of Claws, northernNorscaclose toSea of Chaos, what kind ofsea areathatisstillfewknowspersonally, butwhat we definitely know is that there less suitablehumanhousing. Even ifthere is a humanhousing, is still somevariationspeople. Canadapt tothatextremeweather environment.
再往北,估计就更难获得来自利爪海的暖湿气流了,北诺斯卡靠近混沌海,那是一片怎样的海域至今没有几个人知道,但是可以肯定的是,那里更加不适合人类居住。就算有人类居住,也是一些变异的人。才能适应那种极端的气候环境。EntireNorscalikestretches out the peninsula of mainlandtogether, howeverthispeninsulais very giant, the territoryareaevensurpassedKislevthroughout. Therefore, comparesinKislev, Norscavast territory with a sparse population.
整个诺斯卡就像一块伸出大陆的半岛,然而这座半岛十分巨大,领土面积甚至超过了基斯里夫全境。所以,相比于基斯里夫,诺斯卡更加地广人稀。According to the information that the captiveprovides, Rodroughlycanguess correctlyNorscanin the distribution in entiremainland, isarea the coastis being occupied bymostpeopleprobably, is gatheringmosttribes. Theydependto grab, fishtolive. Butbecause the inlandarea the climateis very cold, the person of housinglittle, thesepersonalsobyTribeshapesgatherrelatively, throughhunting to live, variousgiant beasts are also one of their huntinggoals. Therefore, for a long time and naturebuildbiggestlifeformfight, in additionsurvivesunder the severeclimate, Norscan of inlandarealifeis also strongerandcombative.
根据俘虏提供的情报,罗德大致可以猜出诺斯卡人在整块大陆的分布情况,大概就是沿海一带居住着最多的人,也聚集着最多的部落。他们靠劫掠,捕鱼为生。而内陆地区由于气候十分寒冷,居住的人相对少很多,这些人同样以部落形态聚集在一起,通过捕猎为生,各种巨兽也是他们的狩猎目标之一。所以,长时间与自然界体型最大的生物们搏斗,加之在严酷的气候下生存,内陆地区生活的诺斯卡人也更加强壮而好斗。But the area that Rodmustseizebelongs tosouthernNorsca, close to the Sea of Clawslittoral. Thisistogether the preciousgold region, isin the captivemouthhas the shortsummerregion. Thisthenunderstoodwell, otherwise, before Rod, has thoughtNorscaistogetherall the year roundby the area that the wind and snowcover. If so, how does humansurvive?
而罗德要占领的地区属于南诺斯卡,靠近利爪海的沿海地带。这是一块宝贵的黄金地带,也就是俘虏口中的拥有短暂夏季的地带。这便好理解了,否则,罗德之前一直以为诺斯卡是一块长年被风雪所覆盖的地区。如果是这样,人类如何生存?Nowlooks like, is only the misunderstanding. A mainlandis divided intomanyregions, eachregionhas the differentenvironment and climates, someare very cold, someactuallysuitablehumanhousing. Therefore, the talentcansurvive. Otherwise, the infertileareaisabsolutelynot the tribe that is possibleto support the solarge-scalepopulation.
现在看来,只是误解而已。一块大陆分为许多区域,各个区域有着不同的环境和气候,有的十分寒冷,有的却适宜人类居住。所以,人才能生存下来。否则,寸草不生的地区是绝对不可能养活如此大规模人口的部落的。
......
……Half a month later, Kislevallied armiesenormous and powerfularrived in the settlement of firstNorscatribe. According to the confession of captive, hereis the Seafang Clansettlement. Takesplunderingandfishingas the freshtribespecially.
半个月后,基斯里夫联军浩浩荡荡的抵达了第一个诺斯卡部落的定居点。按照俘虏的供词,这里是海牙氏族的定居点。一个专门以掠夺和捕鱼为生的部落。
When justRodleads the armyto arrive, areathisis left uncultivated. The fishing villagehas been reminded of dear ones who have left, is only left over the eyefulworn-outtents and crookedvillagetracks. Thesepathsdo not spreadwith the pebble, butwalksby the both feet of person. Through the number of tent, Rodestimateshereoriginalresidentat leastto have2,000-3,000peopleinitially. Tradesto doinKislev, can be a scale of middle-gradecastle.
只不过当罗德带领大军抵达时,这一带已经被荒废了。渔村已经人去楼空,只剩下满眼的破旧帐篷和歪歪扭扭的乡间小道。这些道路不是用石子铺出来的,而是靠人的双脚走出来的。通过帐篷的数目,罗德初步估算这里原有的居民至少有2,000-3,000人。换做是在基斯里夫,算得上是一座中等城堡的规模。Receiving of soldierstentblowsone by one, hopes that canfindsomeusefulthings. Howeveronegroup of poor devils , the collectivemoved out, whatvaluablething can remain? Naturally, whatRodis main isseizes the domain, did not have the planto plunderanythingtruly.
士兵们挨个帐篷的收刮,希望可以找到一些有用的东西。但是一帮穷鬼,又集体搬走了,能有什么有价值的东西留下来?当然,罗德最主要的是来占领地盘的,原本就没打算真正掠夺什么。
The breathlesssoldiersonlyfoundseveralto remain behind the old peopleandsomeyoungorphans.
气急败坏的士兵们只找到几个留守老人和一些年幼的孤儿。„Hereperson?”
“这里的人呢?”
An old man of whole facewrinklewas ledin front ofRodby the soldiers.
一个满脸皱纹的老头被士兵们带到了罗德面前。Facing the interrogation, the old personis silent, looks unfamiliarnot to haveappearance that may the love. Rodcanguess that probablytheykeptherereason. Eitherwas the family membersdied, oneselflived on dishonorablyinworldnot to have the meaning. Does not wantto leavethisto live inplacefor a lifetimeagain. Was is so either old, livingexactlywas not indifferent. Escaping, on the contraryis a coward. Stays here, preservesreputationfor a lifetime.
面对质问,老人缄默不语,一脸生无可恋的样子。罗德大概可以猜测他们这些人留在这里的原因了。要么是亲人都死了,自己苟活于世也没意思。不想再离开这个居住了一辈子的地方。要么就是都已经那么老了,活不活也无所谓了。逃,反倒是一个懦夫。留在这里,好歹保住一辈子的名声。„OurLordaskedyou, hereperson?”
“我们领主问你,这里的人呢?”Virgilroarsloudly.维吉尔大声吼到。However the old mandid not speakas before.
但是老头依旧不说话。„Ok, Iknow where theywent.”Roddeterreduncouthlybehavior, hearrives in front of the old manintentionally, „theyran, escaped. Was ordinarylikeonegroup of cowards, clamps the tailto run away.”
“算了,我知道他们去哪里了。”罗德制止了手下的粗鲁行为,他故意走到老头面前,“他们都跑了,逃跑了。像一群懦夫一般,夹着尾巴逃走了。”
The words that onetauntedmadeon the oldfacereveal the faint traceresentful face. However, hedid not speakas before.
一番嘲讽的话让老人脸上露出了丝丝愠色。然而,他依旧不说话。„Youare certainly hatingus, hatingusto slaughteryourcompatriots, seizedyourgenerationlifeplace. However, do not make a mistake, iswhofirstinitiates the aggression? The people of yourclan and tribejoinedthatKhornearmy, thenbrings the butcher knife and sharp bladegoes south, triesto destroymycastle, slaughtersmypeople.”
“你一定在恨我们,恨我们屠杀了你们的同胞,占领了你们世代生活的地方。但是,你不要弄错了,是谁先发起侵略的?你们部族的人加入了那支恐虐大军,而后带着屠刀和利刃南下,试图摧毁我的城堡,屠杀我的人民。”„No, thatis notourwishes!” The old personopened the mouthfinally. „GreytyrkilledourChief, forcingmyclansmanto do that.”
“不,那不是我们的意愿!”老人终于开口了。“格雷提尔杀死了我们的酋长,逼迫我的族人这么做的。”Hisvisionsuddenlybecomesfiery, Rodsuspected that thisfellowhas the possibilityis not an ordinarytribeold person. Hecares about the prestige of oneselfclan, caresChief that oneselfdied. However, if an ordinaryfisherman, whocares aboutoneselfChiefiswho?
他的目光忽然变得炯炯有神,罗德怀疑这家伙有可能也不是一个普通的部落老人。他在乎自己氏族的名望,在乎自己死去的酋长。然而,若是一个普通的渔民,谁在乎自己的酋长是谁?„ButGreytyrdied. Heran overby the corpsein the chaoticarmy. Does not have the glory.”Rodspoke ofloudly. „Whatifyousaidisreal, yourpeopleshould notbe scaredformyarrival. Wewill not slaughter the innocent person. Naturally, ifyoutake up the weaponto aim atmycompatriot, Iwill not be lenient.”
“但是格雷提尔死了。他在乱军中被尸体压死的。毫无荣耀可言。”罗德大声说到。“如果你说的是真的,你的人民就不应该为我的到来感到害怕。我们不会屠杀无辜者。当然,如果你们拿起武器对准我的同胞,那我也不会手软。”„Snort, the words of victorwere most of pleasant to hear.”
“哼,胜利者的话最好听了。”Old personsnort/hum, disdainedreturn.
老人哼了一声,不屑的回到。„It is not of pleasant to hear, Ineversaid that the uselesswordsof pleasant to hear, do not needto speak the wordsof pleasant to hearwithyou.”
“不是好听,我从来不说好听不中用的话,跟你们也没必要说好听的话。”Rodis calm.罗德则一脸平静。„Yourthisleavesto look foryourclansman, toldthem, Rodcame. Moreover, so long astheyhave not taken up the weaponto offend somebody, Iwill not harminthem anyone. Toldthem, thislandcansurviveto multiplyas before, so long astheyrecognizedmyposition.”
“你这就动身去找你的族人,告诉他们,罗德来了。而且,只要他们没有拿起武器伤人,我不会伤害他们中任何一个人。告诉他们,这块土地依旧可以生存繁衍,只要他们承认我的地位。”„You, ifdeceivesme?”
“你若是骗我?”
The old persondoes not believeas before,heis staring at presentthisbigsouthernLord. The KislevpersonandNorscaeachtribefoughtseveral hundredyears of war, whichwill not have hadsouthernLord is so generoustimeandbenevolent.
老人依旧不相信,他盯着眼前这位高大的南方领主。基斯里夫人与诺斯卡各个部落打了几百年的仗,从来没有哪一次会有南方领主如此慷慨和仁慈。„Whatsignificance do Ideceiveyouto have? Has a look, Ihave seizedthisland, whatsignificanceslaughterssomeweaponlesspeoplealsoto have? Alsowill waste the time and energy of myhand/subordinatesoldier. Inmyterritory many thingsare busy. Does not have the timeto accompanyyouhererubbish. Ifyoubelieveme, catches up withthem, makingthemcome back. Icanallowthemto continueto livehere.”
“我骗你有什么意义?看看吧,我已经占领了这块土地,屠杀一些手无寸铁的人又有什么意义?还会浪费我手下士兵的时间和精力。我的领地上还有很多事要忙。没时间陪你在这里废话。你若是相信我,就追上他们,让他们回来。我可以允许他们继续在这里生活。”„Do youalwayshave the condition?”
“你总有条件?”
The old personfrownsto ask.
老人皱起眉头问到。„Thatisnatural. Myconditionverysimple——hands over all your weapons and ships, is taken carebyme. Moreover, Iwill helpyouselectnewChief. Hewill leadyouto walk toward the new life.”
“那是自然。我的条件很简单——交出你们所有的武器和船,由我保管。另外,我会帮你们选出一个新酋长。他将带领你们走向新生。”Rodsaid, the old personwas silent. Heknew, heknows that at present the meaning of thisKislevLord, hands overallweapons and ships, does not make the people of triberevoltagain. ButselectsnewChief, is equivalentcultivatespuppetLeader, hemustlisten to the words of Kislevperson, otherwise, without the weapon, the tribewill be suppressedquicklyagain.罗德说完,老人沉默了。他知道了,他知道眼前这个基斯里夫领主的意思了,交出所有的武器和船,就是不让部落的人再反抗。而选出一个新酋长,相当于培植一位傀儡首领,他必须听基斯里夫人的话,否则,没有武器,部落很快就会再次遭到镇压。„Thinkswell, thisto you are not a misdemeanor. Runs away, wherecanescapetogoes? As far as I know, the inlandareawind and snowwreak havoc, all the year roundis severely cold. Does not suit the personto live. Butto the west, flees toothertribes? Will theyadmityou? Youwill only contend fortheirfood and domainsin the past. Whocanbe willingto give shelter toyou? Even ifgave shelter, is still onlywhentheirslaves. Butreturns tohere, the good and evilyouandyourclansmen can also leave leeway the dignity, freelife. Which is the lighter and which is the heavier, you are very clear. Thisis the lastchance, beforeIhave not changed the mind, youshouldhurry. Urgedthem.”
“好好想想吧,这对于你们来说并不是坏事。逃走,能逃到哪里去?据我所知,内陆地区风雪肆虐,长年严寒。根本不适合人居住。而向西,逃往其他部落?他们会接纳你们吗?你们过去只会抢他们的食物和地盘。谁会愿意收留你们?就算收留了,也只是当他们的奴隶而已。而回到这里,好歹你和你的族人们还可以留有尊严,自由的生活。孰轻孰重,你心里很清楚。这是最后的机会,趁我还没改变主意之前,你应该赶紧走。把他们劝回来。”Understood clearly the psychology of opposite party, Rodsaton the stone block, facegentlespeaking.
洞悉了对方的心理,罗德坐在石墩上,一脸平和的说到。
