Enters a city, constructs the lively city on coastal plain. Situated in Empire eastern the terrains of Ostland and other Empire provinces are similar, although the region is broad, the plain that but within the boundaries multi- forests, can cultivate truly are not many, the stretch of open area situated in north estuary is in Ostland the rare high-quality plain. 诺登城,一座建在沿海平原上的繁华城市。位于帝国东部的奥斯特领和其他帝国行省的地形类似,虽然地域宽广,但是境内多森林,真正可以耕种的平原并不多,位于北部入海口的这片开阔地带便是奥斯特领境内难得的优质平原。 However in the geography the seemingly superior region has not actually become the area that the province first develops, because of this port city close to northern Barbarian mainland — — Norsca. 不过地理上看似优越的地带却没有成为行省首先开发的地区,因为这座港口城市靠近北方蛮族大陆——诺斯卡。 The city on plain does not have the mountain turbulent current as the natural screen, is very easy to encounter the invasion of Barbarian Unit, this makes Ostland all previous Elector Count not put into the development of this north city the complete strength. But this city as war bridgehead, once there is a Barbarian invasion, then sounds the warning, first passes to province capital Wolfenburg. 平原上的城市没有高山激流作为天然屏障,很容易遭到蛮族部队的入侵,这使得奥斯特领历届选帝侯都没有将全部实力投入这座北方城市的发展。而是将这座城市作为战争桥头堡,一旦有蛮族入侵,便拉响警报,第一时间传到行省首府沃尔芬堡。 Without of many official investment enters a city then such freedom to develop, until today, in the city most industries is the industry of unofficial operation, the textile industry, the wine-making business, the material processing industry and service industry are relatively developed, almost do not have the heavy industry, most light industries and trades are also operated by the place aristocrat, the grain crop also only needs according to the certain proportion turning in province capital then. 没有过多官方投入的诺登城便这样自由发展,直到今日,城里大多数行业都属于非官方经营的行业,纺织业、酿酒业、材料加工业以及服务业相对发达、几乎没有重工业,大多数轻工业和贸易也是由地方贵族自行经营,粮食收成也只需要按照一定比例上缴行省首府即可。 This was doomed this city not too many plans, stands in the bow, the looking out into the distance city, can see that the entire bay in launches at present slowly. The wharf shore highest construction — — big lighthouse is clearly discernible. Each harbor has the direction ships contact, and provides the military warning function the lighthouse, the Norden port is also the same. In the winter just crossed, the sea level is also not peaceful static, about two meters ocean waves are not worth mentioning regarding the Empire oceangoing ship, but regarding the yawls of these inshore fishing, as before is very fearful. 这注定了这座城市没有太多的规划,站在船头,远眺城市,可以看到整个海湾在眼前慢慢展开。码头岸边最高的建筑——大灯塔清晰可见。每个港口都有指引船只往来,并且提供军事警报作用的灯塔,诺登港也一样。冬季刚过,海面还不算太平静,两米左右的海浪对于帝国远洋船来说不值一提,但是对于那些近海捕捞的小渔船来说,依旧是十分可怕的。 As the distance is getting more and more near, Rod saw clearly the wharf, the church, the warehouse, as well as castle on sea cape...... 随着距离越来越近,罗德看清了码头,教堂,仓库,以及位于海岬上城堡…… „Black cliff fort.” “黑崖堡。” Captain passes through arrives at — — 船长走过来说到—— „That is Civic Center that enters a city, all military affairs and government affairs process there. The place of Municipal Senior Official work, do not despise that castle, inside is having many soldiers.” “那是诺登城的市政中心,所有军务、政务都在那里处理。市政长官们办公的地方,别小看那座城堡,里面驻扎着不少士兵呢。” Looks into the distance to look out into the distance, Rod sees the black cliff fort in Captain mouth like Giant generally the bulge from the sill of channel, such as a long sword, pricks in the sea level. Under the castle is the firm rock layer, the entire castle is higher than inhabited area many, this was entire enters a city probably the only natural screen. 放目远眺,罗德看到船长口中的黑崖堡就像巨人一般从海峡的岩床上凸起,又如一把长剑,刺入海面中。城堡下方是坚固的岩石层,整座城堡高出居民区许多,这大概是整个诺登城唯一的天然屏障了。 However words saying that such terrain also indeed suits the castle constructs there. Port city most important is the harbor, the wharf. The castle on sea cape wants putting several cannon, can cover the entire sea level the firepower. Once there is a Norsca pirate to invade, so long as the castle garrison troops first discovered, can the long range to killing these Marauder, thus before the barbarian lands its elimination. 不过话说这样的地形也的确适合将城堡建在那里。港口城市最重要的就是港口,码头。位于海岬上的城堡只要放上几门大炮,就可以将火力覆盖整个海面。一旦有诺斯卡海盗入侵,只要城堡守军第一时间发现,就可以远距离杀伤这些掠夺者,从而在野蛮人登陆前将其消灭。 But the tall wall and rock layer of castle were doomed it to be easily defensible, regarding not having Norscan of heavy artillery, must capture such a castle, the price that needs to pay was too big. Their only means are the fast surprise attack, the plundering city, then retreats. Also slightly large-scale point invasion, after plunders the city , to continue to siege the castle, however such probability was very low. After all, since previous Chaos big invasion, north Barbarian did not have a large-scale invasion in the true sense. 而城堡的高墙和岩层注定了它是易守难攻的,对于没有重型火炮的诺斯卡人来说,要攻下这样一座城堡,需要付出的代价太大了。他们唯一的办法就是快速突袭,掠夺城区,而后撤退。稍微大规模一点的入侵,就将城市掠夺完之后还继续围困城堡,但是那样的概率很低了。毕竟,自从上一次混沌大入侵至今,北方蛮族还没有一次真正意义上的大规模入侵。 Enters Bay area time, the storm noticeably reduced. 进入湾区的时候,风浪明显减小了。 „We must approach shore, Sir.” “我们要靠岸了,大人。” The accompanying envoy spoke of respectfully. 随行使者恭敬的说到。 Rod nod response. Although this is an official transport ship, but any cross-ocean navigation will not run a fruitless errand white/in vain, except for escorting Reiksguard and Wood Elf comes back, this Empire steamship actually also carried a lot of commodities. These cargos must unload the ships, installs the new cargo, draws to Baker Port again sells. Ailiruya is penting up anger, she has the important information to Emperor report/give report, however, these Empire human seemingly are careless, the opportunity that can make money does not let off...... Rod to become accustomed to actually, Empire was this...... said again, looked like in Wood Elf is very important information, regarding the Empire person, actually not necessarily was so. The hundred-year peace cancelled the sense of crisis in human heart. 罗德点头回应。虽说这是一艘官方的运输船,但是任何跨海航行都不会白白跑一趟,除了护送瑞克近卫和木精灵回来,这艘帝国大船其实还携带了大量的商品。这些货物要卸下船只,装上新的货物,再拉到贝克港售卖。艾莉瑞雅在生着闷气,她有重要的情报要向皇帝禀报,然而,这些帝国人类却看似毫不在乎,能捞钱的机会绝不放过……不过罗德倒是对此习以为常,帝国就是这样……再说,在木精灵看来是很重要的情报,对于帝国人来说,却未必是如此。长达百年的和平抹去了人类心中的忧患意识。 „This, although is not my matter, but I must warn you, the information more delivers to your Emperor there quickly, to you are better. After these barbarians will not wait for you to meet to make the decision, plunders.” “这虽然不是我的事,但是我必须警告你们,情报越快送到你们皇帝那里,对你们来说越好。这些野蛮人不会等你们开完会做决定后再来掠夺。” Ailiruya walks, speaking of that coldly. Although has not stated clearly, but dissatisfaction has been placed on the face. 艾莉瑞雅走过来,冷冷的说到。虽然没有明说,但是不满情绪已经摆在脸上。 „Meeting, the meeting, we, the quick darkness, we first have rested as soon as possible today a evening in the city, early tomorrow morning starts, goes to the next harbor. So long as Baker Port, were not far from Wolfenburg.” “会的,会的,我们会尽快的,今天已经快天黑了,我们先在城里休息一晚,明天一早就启程,前往下一座港口。只要到了贝克港,距离沃尔芬堡也就不远了。” The envoys replied with a smile, eye actually unconscious stares at female Elf to look. This lets a Ailiruya repugnance, if not for the status is special, Ailiruya ensure oneself will hit blindly this dreadful male eye. Has a look around Rod again, but shrugs , indicating that this matter I do not have the means...... 使者笑着回答,眼睛却不自觉的盯着女精灵看。这让艾莉瑞雅一阵反感,若不是身份特殊,艾莉瑞雅保证自己会打瞎这个猥琐男一只眼睛。再看看一旁的罗德,只是耸了耸肩,表示这种事我也没办法…… The steamship approached shore smoothly, in the deep water wharf has gathered large numbers of workers. Which cannot see is the specialized longshoremen, which are temporarily the employment labor that begs for food to eat. 大船顺利靠岸了,深水码头上早已聚集起大批工人。只是看不出哪些是专业的码头工,哪些是临时来讨口饭吃的雇佣工。 When the steamship just came to anchor approaches shore, then some large ragged crowd gather in the wharf, is waiting for the working arrangement of removing goods. Is noisy to just like one flock of flies to press together, can hear once for a while beats and scolds the sound. For the battle that to fight for this unskilled laborer triggers. 大船刚刚抛锚靠岸时,便有大批衣着褴褛的人聚集在码头上,等待着搬货的工作安排。闹哄哄犹如一群苍蝇挤在一起,时不时还可以听到一些打骂声。想必是为了争抢这份小工引发的争斗。 A big belly man steps onto the ship, starts also to have Captain to negotiate with the envoy, after several minutes, being pregnant man waves to under labor, the people rush headlong into mass action, start to rush to transport the cargo. Ailiruya covers the nose to fall back on the one side, the perspiration stink and liquor stink that the longshoremen body sends out lets her gastric disorder. But Rod has become accustomed to...... 一个大肚子的男人走上船,开始和使者还有船长交涉,几分钟后,大肚子男人向底下的民工招手,众人一哄而上,开始抢着搬运货物。艾莉瑞雅捂鼻退到一旁,码头工身上散发出来的汗臭味和酒臭味着实让她反胃。而罗德则早已习以为常…… „One flock of piglets, several copper coins can send them.” “一群猪仔而已,几个铜板就可以打发他们了。” The envoys turn around to speak of a smile. 使者转身笑着说到。 „Who are they?” “那他们是什么人？” Shibeis points at the crowd that outside the wharf these were being shooed away. 西贝斯指着码头外那些被轰赶出去的人群。 „They? They are not the person, one flock of sloppy ants.” “他们？他们不是人,一群邋遢的蝼蚁而已。” „Beggar.” “乞丐。” The envoys supplement. 使者补充到。 The Shibeis hear frowns, is different from Rod and Sart, Shibeis the first time is arrived at Empire, originally thought this Old World most powerful state should be full of the civilization and order. However today looks like is actually another scene. What made his surprised was, in the Empire official mouth, the beggar actually wasn't the person...... they do not have the human rights? Shibeis is asking in the innermost feelings. However saw that oneself Lord has not spoken, as Knight, he was not good to say anything again, after all, this was others' domain...... 西贝斯听完皱起了眉头,和罗德、塞尔塔不同,西贝斯算是第一次来到帝国,原本以为这个旧大陆最强大的国度应该是充满文明与秩序的。但是今天看来却是另一番景象。更令他惊讶的是,在帝国官员口中,乞丐竟然不算人……难道他们没有人权吗？西贝斯在内心发问着。但是看到自己的领主并没有吭声,作为一名骑士,他也不好再说什么了,毕竟,这是别人的地盘……
