Rodwakes upfrom the shallowdormancy, the graydawnsprinklesin the roomby the window.罗德从浅眠中醒来,灰色的晨光透过窗户洒进屋内。When was the present? Roddoes not know,fournextgloominess, the clock and watch on neighborsomewhatcannot see clearly.
现在是什么时候了?罗德不知道,四下一片灰暗,连墙上的钟表都有些看不清。Opens the window, the chill in the airinjectsin the roomfollowing the window, swatson the body, just likeordinary, after the cold windsways, the sleepinesshas swept offmost.
打开窗户,寒意顺着窗台吹入屋内,也扑打在身上,和平常一样,被寒风吹拂之后,睡意已然扫去大半。Standsnear the window, cansee that the Northsoldierhas gotten out of bedearly, is conducting the routinetrainingonDrill Ground. The sound that the soundandshield that the wooden swordstrokesmutuallycollideis lingering on faintly.
站在窗边,可以看到北境士兵已经早早起床,在校场上进行着例行训练。木剑相互击打的声音、盾牌碰撞的声音不绝于耳。In the Drill Groundcorner, is standingseveralblackroseKnight, lowers the headto talk in whispersanything. Theirarmorare blackshine, someskeletondecorationcrustificationsinshoulderarmor, seem likewithotherarmyare always incompatible.校场的角落里,站着几个黑玫瑰骑士,低头窃窃私语着什么。他们的盔甲黑得发亮,一些骷髅装饰镶嵌在肩甲上,看上去和别的军队总是那么格格不入。Groomgetting out of bedearly, looks after the warhorsein the horse stable. The Knightwarhorsehas the specialistto look, sometimestheirsale priceseven must be higher thancompared with the slave.
马夫则早早的起床,在马厩里照料战马。骑士的战马都是有专人照看的,有时候它们的身价甚至比奴隶还要高出许多。

Althoughis only not a bigfort, actuallyundertook the southernarmymostcommoditiesto transport the duty. Becausegoes northfromhere, a long time, the armyis unable to obtain the supplies.
眼前的景象让罗德想起了黑锤堡。只是,这里不是黑锤堡,这里是奥斯卓斯克要塞。基斯里夫南方兵团北上时必要的补给站。虽然只是一座不大的要塞,却承担了南方军队大部分的物资运送任务。因为从这里北上,很长一段时间,军队都将无法获得补给。

FortLordopens the door the surrender, the Northallied armiesalsoon the entering a cityrest of noresistance.北境联军是在两天前占领这里的,雪鹰军团战败后,要塞的守军几乎是不战自降。他们知道,只有五百人的守城部队,断然不可能和两万人的北境大军抗衡。要塞领主开门投降,北境联军也就毫无阻力的进城休息。Twodays, Rod makes one handle the connectionbusiness of fort, whatconnectionis the business, is not a person. The ownership and income of fortbelong to the Northalliancecompletely. ButLordandsoldier of fort, have not all changed. Let the personsurrenderon own initiativecompared with the siege warfarewell, attacks a citytime-consumingexpends effort, the sacrificewas huge, but the surrender, canwin victory without firing a shot, solves the problem, was the best plan in best plan. To achieve this, mustgranttosomedefenseofficersexcellentconditions, for exampledoes not demote, does not leave job.
两天来,罗德让人处理要塞的交接事务,交接的是事务,并不是人。要塞的归属权和收益全部归于北境联盟。而要塞的领主、士兵,皆没有改变。让人主动投降远比攻城战来得好,攻城耗时耗力,牺牲巨大,而投降,可以兵不血刃,解决问题,是上策中的上策。为了达到这个目的,就必须允诺给守城将士一些优厚的条件,比如不降职,不离职。„Rod, youhad the guest.”
“罗德,你有客人了。”Alsoinblurry, out of the doorhears the Edmundsound of footsteps. A Icemist FortLordas beforepure whitearmor, even ifinusually, himalsolittletakes offvery much.

The humanbiggestenemy is actually oneself. Withoutthesemood and desires, Chaostime and time againwill not rise.
还在迷糊的时候,门外传来埃德蒙的脚步声。冰岚堡领主依旧一身洁白的铠甲,哪怕在平时,他很也少脱下。按照他的话来说,生在这个年代,便要时刻与最黑暗之物斗争。这个最黑暗之物,有时候不单单指具象化的敌人,也包括内心的心魔。人类最大的敌人其实是自己。若没有那些情绪与欲望,混沌也不会一次次崛起。„Priestinterview of Ulric.”
“尤里克的牧师求见。”Edmundspoke.埃德蒙说到。„Shouldcome will always come.”
“该来的总是会来的。”Rodis saying, washes the facesimply, thengoes downstairswithEdmund.罗德说着,简单洗了把脸,便和埃德蒙下楼去。UlricPriestsitson the chair, seesRodto go downstairs, set outto collectimmediately. Heis throwing over a giantwolf skincloak, the flaxcoat, a longgoodleather beltacrosschestandwaist, clothesUntidy-lookingtightly. Because before having an audience with, mustfirstturn inallweapons, therefore, hung the axe, the place of short-swordis now completely empty.尤里克牧师坐在椅子上,看到罗德下楼,立马起身凑了上来。他披着一件巨大的狼皮披风,亚麻外套,一条长长的牛皮带穿过胸膛和腰身,将衣服勒得紧实。由于觐见之前必须先上缴所有武器,所以,原本挂斧头,短剑的地方现在空空如也。„RespectableSirLord.”
“尊敬的领主大人。”„YoushouldcallKing of the North.”
“你应该叫北境之王。”Edmundreminded.埃德蒙提醒到。White WolfPriestseems likedoes not prefervery much, butheshouldrequestto callKing of the North. Rodbeckons, hintshimnot to needto care about the form. TrueKinglies inpeople, was shoutingdailyKingyour majestylong live, cursedthisKing dead at heart. Thatdoes not have the significance.白狼牧师看起来很不情愿,但是他还是应要求叫了一声北境之王。罗德只是招手,示意他不必在意形式。真正的国王在于人们心里,天天喊着国王陛下万岁,心里却诅咒这个国王去死。那也是毫无意义。„King of the North, IamUlricTemplePriest, mynamewasHaerdun Saintfrank. Icome tohereamwantto consult the issueaboutTemplefuture developmenttoyou.”
“北境之王,我是尤里克神殿的牧师,我的名字叫哈尔顿圣弗朗克。我来这里是想向您请教有关于神殿将来发展的问题。”Cult of Ulric, calledCult of the White Wolf, inEmpirewas a biginfluence, northentireEmpire, believed the Cult of the White Wolfpersoncompared withbelieving the Sigmarpersoncomesa lot. Theseyears, Cult of Ulricalsohasto infiltrateto the Kislevsituationgreatly. ButIce Queenhas responded with the suppressedconditiontoit, thereforecausesthissectnotlarge-scaleproliferation. RegardingRod, Templeandsectthese, althoughis not the threat, butcannotsit by and do nothing. InOld Worldanythinglacks, does not lack the sect. Variousgodswalkeverywhere, the spaceflies, the groundruns, in the waterswims, somelooked atoneby the mortal, thought that itsbuildincomparablygreatlyshocks, thenpresentsitfor the gods. Actuallymanyso-calledgodstoitsfollowerblessings, suchgodRodhave really not knownwhatfrom the startfrom beginning to end the peopledo believehis?尤里克教,也称白狼教,在帝国算是一大势力,整个帝国北方,信仰白狼教的人远比信仰西格玛的人来得多。这些年,尤里克教也大有渗透到基斯里夫的事态。只不过冰雪女王一直对其报以压制状态,所以使得这个教派并未大规模扩散。对于罗德来说,神殿、教派这些虽然算不上威胁,但是也不能坐视不管。旧世界里什么都缺,就是不缺教派。各种神明满地走,天上飞的,地上跑的,水里游的,有的只是被凡人看一眼,觉得它体型无比巨大震撼,便将它奉为神明。其实很多所谓的神明压根从头到尾没有对它的信徒赐福过,这样的神罗德真不知道民众信他什么?HoweverCult of the White Wolfis different, ittrulybelongssect that can the blessingsgive the follower the strength. Just, Kislev's Three GodsandUlricin fact have the competitive relations, was in inverse proportion, believes in the White Wolfpersonto be many, believed inBear God, Thunder God and Fire Godperson are also naturally few. ThisregardingRod, similarlyis not the good deed. After all, walks, without the hindrance of sectinfluence, to a great extentisbecauseoneselfisBear GodUrsunandThunder GodTorchampionChosen. Does not have anydubious.
不过白狼教不同,它确确实实属于可以赐福给信徒力量的教派。只不过,基斯里夫三神和尤里克实际上也存在竞争关系,此消彼长,信奉白狼的人多了,信奉熊神、雷神和火神的人自然也就少了。这对于罗德来说,同样不是什么好事。毕竟,一路走来,没有教派势力的阻碍,更大程度上是因为自己就是熊神厄孙和雷神托尔的冠军神选。没有什么值得怀疑的。At the present, one that Cult of the White Wolfcansaybigtroublesome. Ifsupportsit, was equal toweakening the strength and authority of Kislevlocalgods. IfsuppresseslikeKatarinopposesit, will inevitably createto conquerinstability of area. After all, medievalworldmajorcharacteristicsare the sectinfluenceare intriguing, somewhatjust like the organized crime, does all kinds of evil thingsin the name ofgods. Dissociationbeyondregulationandroyal power.
而今,白狼教可以说的一大麻烦。若是支持它,等于削弱了基斯里夫本土神明的力量和权威。若是像卡特琳娜一样压制反对它,势必会造成征服地区的不稳定。毕竟,中古世界一大特点就是教派势力错综复杂,有些犹如黑社会,以神明的名义为非作歹。游离于律法和王权之外。
Under considers, duringRodchoices, does not support, did not oppose. After all, in the crucial phase of north-southcivil war, should notmake a bigsectinfluencemix.
斟酌之下,罗德选择中间,既不支持,也不反对。毕竟,在南北内战的关键时期,着实不应该让一个大的教派势力来搅和。„Inmyterritory, Cult of Ulricwill haveallequalpowers. YoucaninNorth, orIin the place of conqueringdo missionary work, Iwill retainoriginalallTemple and clergy.”
“在我的领地内,尤里克教将拥有一切平等权力。你们可以在北境,或者我所征服之地内传教,我将保留原有一切神殿与神职人员。”Facingdoes not submit, Cult of UlricPriest that does not surrender, Rodcomplexiontranquilspeaking.
面对不屈服,不投降的尤里克教牧师,罗德脸色平静的说到。Canseeon the Priestfacethatjoyfulfacial expression, althoughis only a simplecommitment. Howeverthiscommitmenthas made the Ulricfollowerverygrateful.
可以看到牧师脸上那欣喜的神情,尽管只是一句简单的承诺。但是这句承诺已经让尤里克信徒无比感激了。„King of the Northis always tolerant, wewill regainalltrampledorders.”
“北境之王一向宽容,我们将恢复所有被践踏的秩序。”Edmundsupplements.埃德蒙补充到。„Butthere is a condition.”
“但是有个条件。”„Yousaid.”
“您说。”Haerdunis respectfulreturn.哈尔顿恭敬着回到。
The missionary who „Cult of Ulricsends can not enterinmymilitary compoundto do missionary work, thisis the principle. In addition, youcanact on free willinKislev.”
“尤里克教派的传教士不得进入我的军营内传教,这是原则。除此之外,你们可以在基斯里夫自由行动。”Rodspoke. A regimentmusthaveenoughstrongcohesive force, best is to make thembelieve in the samegods. Otherwise, because the sectis different, causes the internal contradictionsalsopossiblyto have. AsKislevBear GodandThunder GodChosen, Rodis desired, in the regimentoverwhelming majoritypeoplehave the firmthree sacred criteriabelief, because ofthis, prestige of oneselfinarmyis also higher.罗德说到。一支军团必须有足够强的凝聚力,最好是让他们信奉同一个神明。否则,因为教派不同,引起内部矛盾倒也不是没有可能。作为基斯里夫熊神和雷神的神选者,罗德更希望看到的,军团中绝大部分的人有着坚定的三神信仰,因为这样,自己在军队中的威望也就越高。
