A week of making a long and wearisome journey, Rod finally arrived in Ostland capital Wolfenburg. On the cities with other plains are different, Wolfenburg is one constructs the fortress on mountain. 一周的长途跋涉,罗德终于抵达了奥斯特领的首府沃尔芬堡。和其他平原上的城市不同,沃尔芬堡是一座建在高山上的堡垒。 All around is the big stone wall and defense tower, surrounds around the castle forest to be felled cleanly, reclaims as the farmland, in the meantime, to clean up to vacate, letting the line of sight can cover the surrounding each inch land, when there are the enemy attacks, the guard on tower then can the earliest possible time see. This is the typical castle defense approach. 四周是高大的石墙和防御塔,环绕着城堡四周的森林被砍伐得一干二净,作为农田开垦,同时,也是为了清理出空地,让视线可以覆盖周围的每寸土地,当有敌人来袭时,高塔上的守卫便可以第一时间看到。这是典型的城堡防御做法。 However, said that it is a castle, is not quite appropriate. Because, present Wolfenburg has developed big cities that have several tens of thousands population. Many constructions have shown the city wall, constructed in the surrounding. At the foot of the hill, in the halfway up the mountainside, is the dense and numerous houses. This is the origins of many cities, is developed by the castle slowly, finally turned into the city. 但是,说它是城堡,又不太恰当。因为,现在的沃尔芬堡已经发展成一座具有数万人口的大城市。许多建筑早已透出城墙,建在了外围。山脚下,半山腰上,皆是密密麻麻的房子。这便是许多城市的由来,由城堡慢慢发展,最终变成了城市。 This made Rod remember oneself increasing the family fortunes place — — Blackhammer Fort. Past Blackhammer Fort, but is a border pass small fortress, after nearly ten years of development, has become half city now, but was unable compares favorably with Erengrad or present Wolfenburg. 这不禁让罗德想起了自己的发家地——黑锤堡。当年的黑锤堡,不过是一座边关小堡垒,经过近十年的发展,如今已成为半座城市,只不过还无法和厄仑格拉德或者眼前的沃尔芬堡相媲美。 „Sir, we arrived, you first wait a bit the moment in city gate, I notify Great Lord.” “大人,我们到了,您先在城门口稍等片刻,我去通报大领主。” The envoys make the motorcade stop the footsteps, in front of respectful arriving Rod. Rod signals by nodding, the envoy then leads two guards to ride a horse to enter a city. 使者让车队停下脚步,恭敬的走到罗德面前。罗德点头示意可以,使者这才带着两名护卫骑马进城。 After several minutes, under envoy one group of entertainment, Rod and Ailiruya entered in the city slowly. The bustling crowd heads on, the motorcade and crowd were filled with the street. Even the temperature were more than several points the city outside. The present scene makes Rod feel quite at home, this is the human society should have the appearance that rather than looks like north Kislev, or northern bad land, is flooding the deathly stillness and coldness. Here, crowded, the side aura of life lingers, entire Kislev, only has the Erengrad harbor after reconstruction to have such atmosphere. 几分钟后,在使者一行人的招待下,罗德和艾莉瑞雅慢慢走进了城内。熙熙攘攘的人群扑面而来,车队、人群挤满了街道。连温度都比城外多了几分。眼前的景象让罗德倍感亲切,这才是人类社会该有的样子,而不是像基斯里夫北方,或者更北的荒原之地,充斥着死寂与寒冷。在这里,人来人往,生命的气息萦绕身边,整个基斯里夫,唯有重建后的厄仑格拉德港口有这样的气氛。 Is treading the slow footsteps, squeezes through the crowded street, after half an hour, the team arrived at the Wolfenburg central city area, is Great Lord and Empire Elector Count Maximilian residence and office. 踏着缓慢的脚步,挤过人来人往的街道,半个钟头后,队伍来到了沃尔芬堡的中心城区,也就是大领主、帝国选帝侯马克西米安的住所和办公处。 But at this time, Elector Count oneself have waited in the castle entrance. 而此时,选帝侯本人已经在城堡大门口等候了。 On the Maximilian face is hanging the smile, does not calculate the strong body, but the mental outlook is very good. Rod notices his side guard, wears heavy Plate Armor, grasps the round shield battle axe, the helmet is the black bull horn helmet, is reflecting the sad and shrill metallic luster under shining under sunlight. This should be famous Bull Guard. Old World each influence mostly has Unit of oneself strongest strength, like Ostland Bull Guard, Kislev Kreml Guard, Reikland Rick imperial guard these. But these elite Unit Captain or the army regimental commanders often have very high position. Therefore when leaves Kislev, Rod gave oneself loyal Knight Virgil the Kreml imperial guard Captain position. 马克西米安脸上挂着微笑,不算强壮的身体,但是精神面貌却很好。罗德注意到他身边的守卫,身穿重型板甲,手持圆盾战斧,头盔是黑色牛角盔,在阳光下的照耀下反射着凄厉的金属光泽。这应该就是大名鼎鼎的公牛卫队了。旧世界每个势力大多都有自己最强力的部队,像奥斯特领的公牛卫队,基斯里夫的克雷姆守卫,瑞克领的瑞克禁军这些。而这些精锐部队的队长或者军团长往往也有着很高的地位。所以离开基斯里夫城时,罗德才将克雷姆禁军队长的职位交给了自己忠诚的骑士维吉尔。 „Lord Rod, we quite long have not seen some time. You and your subordinate I heard in the northern experience, come, comes to chat. I prepared the evening banquet......” “罗德领主,我们好长一段时间没见了。你和你的部下在北方的经历我都听说了,来吧,进来聊。我准备了晚宴……” Said that evening banquet two characters, the Ailiruya light lip twitched , the indifferent vision has exposed the mood that she is sick of nothing left. This makes Maximilian awkward, if not for looks in her is in the share of Emperor savior, oneself expels the castle her surely. However, the Wood Elf status is special . Moreover, she also brings one crowd of Empire elite — — Reiksguard. Rod walked up, patted the shoulder of Maximilian, smiled following old Lord to enter the castle, to alleviate awkwardly. 说完晚宴二字,艾莉瑞雅薄薄的嘴唇抽动了下,冷漠的目光已经将她厌烦的情绪展露无遗。这使得马克西米安一脸尴尬,若不是看在她是皇帝救命恩人的份上,自己必定将她赶出城堡。但是,木精灵毕竟身份特殊,而且,她还带着一群帝国精锐——瑞克近卫。罗德走上前去,拍了拍马克西米安的肩膀,微笑着跟着老领主走进城堡,以缓解尴尬。 ...... …… When enters the castle to Rod one group, Maximilian then made one entertain personally. He had not planned to discuss the matter at the banquet, but before the banquet starts sits and Rod related in detail, chatted to dine the proper business again. The style that this Rod likes actually, tells the truth, does not work dilatory. Sees this scene, Ailiruya then puts down that to be arrogant and indifferent slightly. She walks, sits side Rod, is staring at Ostland Leader and Empire on Elector Count Maximilian seat of honor Von Nick. 待到罗德一行人走进城堡,马克西米安便亲自让人招待了起来。他原来并没有打算在宴会上谈事情,而是在宴会开始之前就坐下来和罗德细谈,将正事聊完再进餐。这倒是罗德喜欢的风格,有一说一,做事不拖沓。见此情景,艾莉瑞雅这才稍稍放下那份高傲与冷漠。她走过来,坐在罗德身边,凝视着主座上的奥斯特领首领、帝国选帝侯马克西米安・冯・塔兹尼克。 „Lord Rod, please allow me to call you as friend, you and you experienced me to hear, frost Dragon was not the average man can be defeated, can achieve this, indeed could be the legend.” “罗德领主,请允许我以朋友的身份称呼你,你和你手下的经历我都听说了,冰霜巨龙绝非常人可以打败,能够做到这点,的确算得上是传奇。” Just sat, Maximilian then spoke on the view and viewpoint of oneself. Can be able to see that is different from these Empire aristocrats, as Great Lord he, to these facts, the matter of north peninsula believes in firmly. Rod suspected that this Empire Elector Count will take seriously oneself, is related with this matter. Frost Dragon reappears the world, the Norsca barbarian activity is frequent, if some people of research history know, all these are the Chaos active indications. Rod believes, as Elector Count Maximilian, the knowledge is definitely richer than the average man. The legend becomes the legend, is not because it is fictionalizes, because generations have not seen, thus no longer believes...... 刚刚坐下来,马克西米安便讲起了自己的看法和观点。可以看得出和那些帝国贵族不同,身为大领主的他,对那些事迹,还有北方半岛发生的事都深信不疑。罗德怀疑这位帝国选帝侯会如此重视自己,也是和这件事有关。冰霜巨龙重现世界,诺斯卡野蛮人活动频繁,若是有研究历史的人都会知道,这一切都是混沌活跃的征兆。罗德相信,身为选帝侯的马克西米安,学识肯定比常人丰富一些。传说之所以成为传说,不是因为它是虚构的,而是因为一代代的人都没有见过,从而不再相信…… „In fact, killing the ice dragon is not I alone achieves, Ailiruya also helps, without her, I and my subordinate cannot kill that dragon. She helped us constrain that wild animal, helping us win the time.” “事实上,杀死冰龙并不是我一个人做到的,艾莉瑞雅也帮了不少忙,没有她,我和我的手下杀不死那头龙。她帮我们拖住了那头野兽,帮我们赢得了时间。” Rod said, the vision looks to side Wood Elf. On the Ailiruya fair and clear cheek does not have a expression as before, but can feel that had/left her to tacitly approve the view of Rod, otherwise, by her temperament and individuality, has refuted at the scene. 罗德说完,目光看向身边的木精灵。艾莉瑞雅白净的脸蛋上依旧没有一丝表情,但是可以感觉出她默认了罗德的说法,否则,以她的脾气和个性,早已当场反驳。 „I believe the invasion of northern Barbarian real.” “我相信北方蛮族的入侵是真的。” Maximilian spoke of the key point. 马克西米安说到了重点。 „This is also I hopes that with item that you discussed.” “这也是我希望和你谈成的事项。” Great Lord continues to speak. 大领主继续说到。 The Rod knitting the brows head , does Kislev have something to discuss the chip of cooperation with Empire? The border clashe, the national strength is void, Rod did not count on can discuss any treaty of equal cooperation with Empire. 罗德皱了皱眉头,基斯里夫还有什么可以和帝国谈合作的筹码？边境冲突,国力空虚,罗德原本就不指望可以和帝国谈成什么平等合作的条约。 „Lord Rod, friend of mine, although we belong to the different states, but, we are actually the life in the same world, the trim mainland is linked to each other, 200 years ago, the Chaos big invasion, was Empire and Kislev collaborates, saved this world. At the present, we as before are such relations. You are constructing Wall, not only is the Kislev construction barrier , is the Empire construction barrier. Therefore, I will definitely support. However......” “罗德领主,我的朋友,虽然我们属于不同国度,但是,我们却是生活在同一个世界里,整片大陆都是连在一起的,两百年前,混沌大入侵,是帝国和基斯里夫联手,拯救了这个世界。而今,我们依旧是这样的关系。你们在修建长城,不仅是在为基斯里夫修建屏障,也是在为帝国修建屏障。所以,我必然会支持。但是……” Maximilian stopped a while — — 马克西米安停顿了一会儿—— „But, the defense line not only lies on the land, the marine threat also does not allow to look down upon. As you said that if Norscan really from the marine invasion, then, the Norden port, these lives in coastal the person in town and village, no longer peaceful.” “但是,防线不仅仅在于陆地上,海上的威胁同样不容小视。就像你们所说的,如果诺斯卡人真的从海上入侵,那么,诺登港,还有那些居住在沿海城镇和村庄的人,将不再安宁。” „We need to cooperate, Lord Rod, Ostland for the north Wall contribution strength, engineers, financial resource and commodity. Similarly, I hope that Kislev and Ostland people also guard the coast defense line.” “我们需要合作,罗德领主,奥斯特领将为北方长城贡献力量,工程人员,财力和物资。同样,我希望基斯里夫和奥斯特领的人民同样守卫海防线。” Maximilian said, Rod is suddenly enlighted immediately. This old fogy actually has something else planned, the pie that the space has not fallen, let alone Elector Count such person, will not be what philanthropist. The Kislev original naval power is not strong, because of the civil war, first Queen Katarin constructs the state treasury financial investment navy, making Erengrad have an artillery ship team that becomes the scale, the initial goal was to preserve the Erengrad city is broken through by the North allied armies, at the present, this team becomes the marine regiment of Kislev bay strongest strength. 马克西米安说完,罗德顿时恍然大悟。这老家伙其实另有所图,天上没有掉下来的馅饼,更何况选帝侯这样的人,绝不会是什么慈善家。基斯里夫原本的海军实力并不强,但是因为内战,前女王卡特琳娜将国库财力投入海军建设,让厄仑格拉德拥有一支成规模的炮船舰队,当初的目的是为了保住厄仑格拉德城不被北境联军攻破,而今,这支队伍成为了基斯里夫湾最强力的海上军团。 Rod looked, Maximilian settled on this strength, if there is a Kislev navy to make assisting, then, he then can develop the Ostland north coast territory. These lands are the quality resources, has the plain of length and breadth, not only helps the development of agricultural animal husbandry, in the meantime, is place of the good communications. In the past has not been developed, because of the threat of north Norsca tribe, went south to plunder once for a while, a all year round crop committed to flames. But now, if there is assisting of Neighboring country Navy, growth production accumulation strength, while develops the oneself marine power, actually good choice. Rod knows that the Ostland naval force is not strong, this Empire province overall strength is not wealthy, the Empire truly wealthy province territory in the West, from Marienburg to capital Altdorf, arrives at southern industrial city Nuln again, area that is the Empire truly wealthy place. 罗德看出来了,马克西米安看中了这股力量,若是有基斯里夫的海军做协防,那么,他便可以发展奥斯特领北方沿海领地。这些土地都是优质资源,有着广袤的平原,不仅利于农业畜牧业的发展,同时,也是交通便利之地。以往没有得到发展,是因为北方诺斯卡部落的威胁,时不时南下掠夺一番,一整年的收成都付之一炬。而现在,若是有邻国海军的协防,一边发展生产积累实力,一边发展自己的海军力量,倒是不错的选择。罗德知道的,奥斯特领的海上力量并不强,这个帝国行省整体实力也不富裕,帝国真正富裕的行省领地都在西方,从玛利恩堡到首都阿尔道夫,再到南方工业重镇努恩,那一带才是帝国真正富裕之地。
