Meanwhile, the wharfcananchor the genuinesteamship, theycanplundering the merchant shipdraws the shoredirectly, butdoes not needto pass the boatlittletransportingspoils of waragain.塔克最终还是接受了罗德的条件,因为他别无选择。部族的人饥寒交迫,渴望一块可以休养生息的地方,而龙骨港,他们的家园便是这样一个地方。并且,现在这个家园比以前更好了,他们可以住上由木材和石头砌成的坚固房子,而不是从前那种由帐篷和兽皮搭成的简易帐篷。同时,码头可以停靠真正的大船,他们可以将劫来的商船直接拉到岸边,而不必再通过小船一点点的运送战利品。Takknows, ifheencourageseveryoneto go northagain, no onewill followhim, obeyshim. AllarethatKislevLordahead of timebelowwrap/sets. Heweaves a happynet, making the people of tribejumptowardinside. And, is willing.塔克知道,他若是再次鼓动大家北上,没有人会跟随他,听从他。一切都是那个基斯里夫领主提前下的套。他编织一张甜蜜的网,让部落的人往里面跳。而且,心甘情愿。Early morning of cold winter, Rodis throwing over the thickcoat and Manticorecloakgoes out ofoutside the room, the looks atwhole cityNorscanexhaustedandbusyform, heknows,thisharborsmall townhad been graspedbyoneselfin the hand. Then, was the timepasses toothertribesthismechanism.
寒冬的清晨,罗德披着厚厚的大衣和蝎狮披风走出屋外,看着满城诺斯卡人疲惫而忙碌的身影,他知道,这座港口小镇已然被自己握在手中。接下来,是时候将这套机制传到其他部落了。In the morning, RodthencalledSeafang ClanChiefTak, makinghimsend out the twoperson, to the Snowwolf Clandomain, all that hadheretells the Snowwolf Clanperson. Andpersuadedthemalsoto surrendertooneself, obtaineddefeat the dignity. Otherwise, the Kislevallied armieswill still pursuethem. Untiltribewithering away.
当天上午,罗德便叫来了海牙氏族的酋长塔克,让他派出两个人,到雪狼氏族的地盘上,将这里发生的一切告诉雪狼氏族的人。并且劝说他们也向自己投降,获得战败者的尊严。否则,基斯里夫联军仍将追击他们。直到部落消亡。Taksends out the envoywith the uneasymood, hedoes not know how the Snowwolf Clanpersonwill regardhim, how after to regardingsubmits toSeafang Clan? Is the choice of wisechoiceorcoward? Hedoes not know how othertribeswill regardoneself. Howeverthings have gotten to this point, the so-calledself-respectis unimportant.塔克怀着忐忑不安的心情将使者派出,他不知道雪狼氏族的人会如何看待他,如何看待臣服后的海牙氏族?是明智的选择还是懦夫的选择?他不知道其他部落会如何看待自己。但是事已至此,所谓自尊心已经不重要了。
The uneasywaitingoneweeklater, the envoycame back. Andleads the Snowwolf Clanperson, the hunter who thatwears the wolf skintoldRod, theyare willingto accept the condition, the matter that howeverpresented tributeis unable to comply. The reasonisSnowwolf Clanis not a pirate, theytonot grab the passingmerchant shipto live, butdepends on the perfectbody, hunts for the wild animal, maintains the livelihood. Rodbelieves the words of envoy, becausein the entirefight, the Snowwolf Clanpersonare very few, theymostlywear the animal skin, the combatis brave, butafter the war in receivingto blow the spoils of war, the property of thisgroup of people is also least, basicallyexcept forthatanimal skin, anythingdoes not have.
在忐忑不安的等待了一周后,使者回来了。并且带着雪狼氏族的人,那个身披狼皮的猎人告诉罗德,他们愿意答应条件,但是进贡的事无法答应。理由是雪狼氏族并不是海盗,他们不以劫掠过往商船而活,而是靠着自身过硬的身体,捕猎野兽,维持生计。罗德相信使者的话,因为整场战斗中,雪狼氏族的人十分少,他们大多身披兽皮,作战勇敢,而战后在收刮战利品时,这帮人身上的财物也是最少的,基本上除了那张兽皮,什么都没有。Rodagreed with the request of Snowwolf Clan, fordoes not make the Seafang Clanpersonnot feelfairly, RodrequestsSnowwolf Clan to every yearturn in the certain amount offur, todeductpresenting tributefee/spent.罗德同意了雪狼氏族的请求,但是为了不使海牙氏族的人觉得不公平,罗德要求雪狼氏族必须每年上缴一定数量的毛皮,以抵扣进贡费。
Several other clansare not goodto speak, Thunderaxe ClanreceivesKhorneto corrodeis too deep, thatwar outside Dark Forestalmostturns out in full strength, the territoryhas left uncultivated, has not remainedseverallive people, seizingthatbarren landis also useless. Bloodlance Clanwas needless saying that exterminated the clan...... the people of othertwosmallclan is also not much leftthoroughly, changes to the birdsto flee in all directions. The territorysimilarlyisstretch of ruins, thiswill be buriedby the wind and snowin the winterfrom now onthoroughly.
其他几个氏族则没有那么好说话,雷斧氏族受到恐虐腐蚀太深,黑暗森林外的那场大战几乎是倾巢而出,领地已经荒废,没剩几个活人,占领那不毛之地也毫无用处。血矛氏族则不用说了,彻底的灭族了……另外两个小氏族的人也所剩无几,化作鸟兽四处逃窜。领地同样是一片废墟,这个冬天过后将彻底被风雪所掩埋。
After processingall these, RodthenbroughtbigUnitto steppath that returned toBlackhammer Fort. Dragonbone Portgraduallyturns into a smallsunspotfrom a small fisherman village, finallyvanishesin the horizon. In the Soaring Giantdeck, Caroline by the Rodshoulder, will look atthisnorthsmall townto vanishin the line of sightgradually.
处理完这一切之后,罗德这才带着大部队踏上了返回黑锤堡的道路。身后,龙骨港从一座小渔村渐渐变成一个小黑点,最后消失在地平线上。飞翔的巨人号甲板上,卡洛琳将头靠在罗德肩上,望着这座北方小镇渐渐消失在视线里。Threedayslater, Rodled the vanguardarmyto return toBlackhammer Fortin advance.
三天后,罗德带着先锋军先行返回了黑锤堡。Just the nextwharf, thenenjoyedpeoplefranticpraise. Several thousandciviliansstandinEastspringboth banks, just likepursues the franticfan in star, is shouting loudly the Rodname, the Carolinename. The tide of peoplesurges, the franticsummonis unceasing. The guardspull outtwohorizontal lines, the platoonbecomes the human wall, preventing the peopleto close, close totheirLord. The childrenscurry aboutin the crowd, in order toseeingRod of short distance.
刚下码头,便受到了民众狂热的追捧。数千平民站在冬泉河两岸,犹如追星的狂热粉丝,高喊着罗德的名字,卡洛琳的名字。人潮涌动,狂热的呼唤不断。守卫拉出两条横线,排成人墙,阻止民众一拥而上,接近他们的领主。小孩子们则在人群中乱窜,以求近距离的看到罗德。ButRodgreetedwith the Blackhammer Fortcivilians. The franticscenesomewhatcannot resistCaroline, threeyears ago, sheis only a stubbornly disobedientlittle girl, low rankIce Witch, has never thoughtoneselfone daywill also standin the power center, accepts the common peopleto hound. WasRodmakesall thesebecome the reality.
而罗德则一路与黑锤堡的平民们打招呼。狂热的场面连卡洛琳都有些招架不住,三年前,她只是一个顽劣的小女孩,一个低阶霜寒女巫,从未想过自己有一天也会站在权力中心,接受万民追捧。是罗德让这一切变成了现实。But the reason is also very simple, the Lordwarsolelyis not the Lordoneselfwar, Rodthrough the banking system, contacted with the entireBlackhammer Fortpeopleandoneself, the person who so long asatpre-warinvestmentwar, haspower that after the warobtains the spoils of war. The person who theselend the Rodmoney, eachlooks forward to the victory, theyquiteobtain the benefit. Is worried about the Rodsafety, becauseno onehopes that the oneselfcreditordied.
而原因也很简单,领主的战争不单单是领主自己的战争,罗德通过银行系统,将整个黑锤堡民众与自己联系了起来,只要在战前投资战争的人,战后都有分得战利品的权力。那些借给罗德钱的人,各个都巴不得战争胜利,他们好分得利益。更担心罗德的安危,因为没有人希望自己的债主死去。On the Lordavenue, Blackhammer Fort and Hyde Fortsoldieradvances in unison. RodandCarolineare riding the warhorse, marches into the castlefront doorslowly. Without the triumphal returningtype, actuallycompares the truetriumphal returningtypeto be imposing. Carolineby the fieryatmosphereinfection, on the facehad been screenedto blush. Happyjoyfulself-evident. Rodknowsto takeIce Witchfinally, whyin the Carolinemood after advancementtoomanychanges, the environmenthas not changed a person, when the surroundingpersonemotionsrun high, whereindividualmoodcalloustowill not go.领主大街上,黑锤堡和海德堡的士兵齐头并进。罗德和卡洛琳则骑着战马,缓慢步入城堡大门。没有凯旋式,却比真正的凯旋式更加轰轰烈烈。卡洛琳已经被火热的气氛感染,脸上映出红晕。幸福的喜悦不言而喻。罗德终于知道作为霜寒女巫,为什么进阶后的卡洛琳情绪上并没有太多的变化,环境改变一个人,当周围的人都情绪高涨时,个人也不会情绪冷酷到哪里去。„Old friend, youwins a battleonce again. Congratulatesyou, Rod of undefeated.”
“老朋友,你又一次打了胜仗。恭喜你,不败的罗德。”In the castle, Alvishas stoodstraightly, firstgreets the return of Rodwith the respectfulstance of official. ThenhuggedRodwith the friendship of friend. Hisheightonly thenRodhalf, but the Blackhammer Fortmasterdid not mind.
城堡内,阿尔维斯已经站得笔直,先是以臣子的恭敬姿态迎接罗德的归来。而后又以朋友的友谊拥抱了罗德。他的身高只有罗德的一半,而黑锤堡主人一点都不介意。„Rod of undefeated, not?”
“不败的罗德,不是吧?”Rodspoke of a smile.罗德笑着说到。„Right, once, youdefeated. InCodeword Fort. Iheard that Ihear.”
“对,有一次,你败了。在暗语堡。我听说的,我听说的。”Alvissmiles. Thatheindeedhas not participatedtime, becausehe was also the Ironring Fortmanagerat that time. The war of Codeword Fort, White Bear LordRoddefeatedbyVampire Lord, does not know the trace, peoplealsothink that heinjuresto hideagain. However, twomoon/monthlater, again when return, heactuallykilled with one's own handVampire Lord. No oneknows during this, exactlyhadanything.

ButRodhasotherthreepeopleto go toanotherplacetogether. Alvisknows, ifheaskedagain, was not quite good. Howeverthiscurioushas existed.阿尔维斯笑到。那一次他的确没有参加,因为那时候他还属于铁环堡的总管。暗语堡之战的时候,白熊领主罗德被吸血鬼领主打败,不知所踪,人们还以为他伤重躲起来。然而,两个月后,再次回归时,他却手刃了吸血鬼领主。没有人知道这期间到底发生了什么。连阿尔维斯自己都不知道,罗德对此事缄口不言。他也曾经试探性的问过和罗德关系最亲密的卡洛琳,然而,卡洛琳只是说当时她也受伤了,在一个农户家养伤。而罗德则带着其他三人一起去另一个地方。阿尔维斯知道若是他再多问,就不太好了。不过这份好奇一直存在。„Banquethad been preparing, twodayslaterstarts. When the time comes the theaterwill openfree, has the large-scalebonfirefirework, next day the workers in entirecityrest for day. The wageis invariable.”
“宴席已经在准备了,两天后开始。到时候剧场将免费开放,有大型篝火烟花表演,第二天全城的工人休息一天。薪水不变。”Alvisspoke.阿尔维斯说到。„Good, youwork, Ifelt relieved.”
“好的,你做事,我放心。”Rodrepliedwith a smile,latermoved toward the predecessorStewardMurrosroomdirectly, hemusttellthisto assist the oneselfold personthisgoodnewspast. According to the view of Lyanna, the Murrosconditiondeterioratesday-by-day, does not know that alsohow longcaninsist.罗德笑着回答,随后径直走向了前任管家穆罗斯的房间,他要将这个好消息告诉这位昔日辅佐自己的老人。按照莱安娜的说法,穆罗斯的病情一天天恶化,不知道还能坚持多久。
