Altdorf. A legendary great city, in the meantime, it is also the Empire capital. 阿尔道夫。一座充满传奇色彩的伟大城市,同时,它也是帝国的首都。 Rod had imagined many appearances about this city in the mind , is truly close at hand, actually cannot help but shocks to the real Altdorf city. It is very big, is very magnificent, but, very dirty...... 罗德曾经在脑海中想象过关于这座城市的诸多样貌,然而,真正近在眼前时,却不由得对真实的阿尔道夫城大跌眼镜。它很大,很壮观,但是,也很脏…… When the motorcade arrives outside Dacheng the plain, Rod saw the outline of this city through the excellent vision. The Empire capital is located in the intersection points of two rivers, exactly said, the Altdorf city constructs above big islands. But this island is too big, therefore generally few people relate it and islands word. Arrived what degree, almost can hold next five Kislev. The population is also Kislev several times. 当车队抵达城外平原时,罗德通过极好的视力看到了这座城市的轮廓。帝国首都位于两条大河的交界处,确切的说,阿尔道夫城是建在一座大型岛屿之上。只不过这座岛太大,所以一般很少有人将它和岛屿这个词联系起来。大到什么程度,几乎可以容纳得下五座基斯里夫城。人口也是基斯里夫城的数倍之多。 The path of incoming has the special guard guard, the city gate is big, just like giant beast. The people go through below, just like the ant. This made Rod remember the construction of Dwarf. Although Dwarves is small, however the Dwarf castle actually likes constructing incomparably huge, several -meter giant city gate is placed there, just like the facade, the image project is ordinary, is demonstrating this race strength and civilization. 进城的道路有专门的守卫把守,城门高大,宛如巨兽。人在下面穿行,犹如蚂蚁。这让罗德想起了矮人的建筑。虽然矮人们个头小,但是矮人的城堡却喜欢建得无比庞大,高达数十米的巨型城门摆在那里,犹如门面,形象工程一般,展示着这个种族的实力与文明。 Altdorf is not also exceptional, since it can be said as Rod arriving at the medieval world has seen the hugest city. The city wall in outer city comprised of firm white rock, has about three layers building tall. In the city wall is found in the lookout tower and defense tower, large-scale crossbow trigger mechanism, even the artillery is distributed in these giant turrets. Has the special military engineer operation. 阿尔道夫同样不例外,它可以说是罗德来到中古世界以来见过的最庞大的城市。外城的城墙由坚固的白岩组成,大约只有三层楼高。城墙内遍布瞭望塔和防御塔,大型弩机,甚至火炮就分布在这些巨型塔楼上。有专门的工兵操作。 But the channel that enters a city is two permanent lithical arched bridges. This is the entire city and only land interface channel. Other, find out into this city, must walk from the waterway. 而进城的通道是两条永久性的石质拱桥。这是整座城市与外界的唯一陆地连接通道。其他的,想出入这座城市,都必须从水路走。 Naturally, this cannot baffle Altdorf, cannot baffle the Empire merchants. In fact, what resources no Altdorf city was developed as the Empire capital finally, because of its excellent geographical position. 当然,这难不倒阿尔道夫,难不倒帝国的商人们。事实上,什么资源都没有的阿尔道夫城之所以最终被发展为帝国的首都,就是因为其绝佳的地理位置。 Huge Empire through the waterway and land route links, but is more important, is the waterway. Because the freight capacity of ships is much more than carriage and ox cart. Moreover, the waterway is safer, in various Beastman and harassment of Greenskin lifeform without forest. The Talabec river and Reik are west Empire the most important two routes. Every day has the innumerable merchants to come and go in these two rivers. 庞大的帝国通过水路和陆路联系在一起,而其中更重要的,是水路。因为船只的载货量远远大于马车和牛车。而且,水路更安全,没有森林中各种野兽人和绿皮生物的骚扰。塔拉贝克河和瑞克河是帝国西部最重要的两条航道。每天都有无数的商船在这两条大河上来来往往。 But Altdorf intersection point situated in the Talabec river and Reik. The central zone of intersection, the almost entire Empire western cargo must pass through from here, transports to all directions. The merchants need to rest, the cargo needs the stopover station, therefore, the Altdorf wharf becomes the entire Empire busiest wharf. 而阿尔道夫就位于塔拉贝克河和瑞克河的交界处。十字路口的中心地带,几乎整个帝国西部的货物都要从这里经过,运往四面八方。商人们需要休息,货物需要中转站,于是,阿尔道夫的码头就成为了全帝国最繁忙的码头。 The trade has the great wealth, more and more wealthy groups gather here, drove various local industries. Service industry, manufacturing industry wait/etc. The rich people to do business to come here, the poor person to look for the work of life arrived here., The city was expanded gradually. Finally turns into today this appearance. 贸易产生大量财富,越来越多的富裕人群在这里聚集,也就带动了当地的各项产业。服务业,制造业等等。富人为了经商来到这里,穷人为了找份活命的工作来到这里。渐渐地,城市被扩充起来。最终变成今天这幅模样。 Just like Kislev, Altdorf is also the beset by disasters city. On the whole the city and foothold of each human, in the long millennium history, must experience some disasters. Altdorf as the Empire capital, is no exception. 和基斯里夫城一样,阿尔道夫也是多灾多难的城市。大体上每个人类的重要城市和据点,在漫长的千年历史中,都要经历一些劫难。阿尔道夫作为帝国的首都,也不例外。 Rod also recorded the unclear this city to experience several alien races to invade in the millenniums history, but what we definitely know is that invaded and destroys each time massively, will only make this city stronger. At least, its city wall is getting higher and higher, is getting more and more thick, is getting more and more firm. 罗德也记不清这座城市在千年的历史中经历了几次异族入侵,但是可以肯定的是,每次大规模入侵和毁灭,只会让这座城市更加坚强。至少,它的城墙越来越高,越来越厚,越来越坚固。 However, human is one is very easy to forget that grief race, the life span was extremely short, before causing 2-3 of many, generation of stories in experiencing fades from the memory similarly after the person. Probably never has this phase of history to be the same, can look from these face proud tender Empire soldier faces. They have the broad city wall and advanced weapon, does not have in the adversity soldier that resolute tenacious attitude. Rod can only sigh secretly, such day will not continue is too long. In 20 years, or 30 years, the entire medieval world will welcome a big cataclysm of reactionary reign of terror. At that time, this soldier, their children, possibly were completely another appearance. 然而,人类是一个很容易忘记伤痛的种族,寿命极短,导致许多前代的故事在经历2-3代人之后就淡忘得差不多了。好像从未有过这段历史一样,从这些一脸傲娇的帝国士兵脸上就可以看得出来。他们有着恢弘的城墙和先进的武器,却没有逆境中战士那种刚毅顽强的作风。罗德暗自只能叹息,这样的日子不会持续太久了。再过二十年,或者三十年,整个中古世界都将迎来一场血雨腥风的大灾变。那个时候,这座士兵,还有他们的孩子们,可能就完全是另外一副样子了。 The Altdorf city is broad and giant, flooding is luxurious and decayed. The entire Empire liveliest street here, the best cargo stores up here, in entire Empire most luxurious hotel also here, prettiest woman also here...... 阿尔道夫城恢弘而巨大,充斥着奢华与腐朽。整个帝国最繁华的街道在这里,最好的货物在这里囤积,整个帝国境内最豪华的酒店也在这里,最貌美的女人亦在这里…… However, all these, are unable to conceal its dirty decayed inside story. Entering a city time, Rod follows the Empire guard to forward, in the street is bustling, Centigor/troops makes a big noise. The excrement of finding at everywhere does not know that is the carriage process stays behind, some sells the good small merchant to pass through stays behind. Was compressed steps on the flat excrement and silt is sending out the intermittent odor in the dense air. But here person has actually had long been used. Views, the Altdorf animal and person are equally many. Over a million people and over a million domestic animals push on this in big islands together, at night, the resident sleeps in the garret, downstairs, possibly are some boar arch the sound of cabbage, that scene simply too beautiful...... 然而,这一切,都无法掩饰其肮脏腐朽的内幕。进城的时候,罗德跟着帝国卫兵一路向前,街道熙熙攘攘里,人马喧腾。随处可见的粪便不知道是马车经过留下的,还是某个贩牛的小商贩经过留下的。被压扁踩扁的粪便和淤泥在稠密的空气中散发着阵阵恶臭。而这里的人却早已习惯。有一种说法,阿尔道夫的动物和人一样多。上百万的人和上百万的牲畜就这样共同挤在一座大型岛屿上,夜晚,居民在阁楼上睡觉,楼下,可能就是某头公猪拱白菜的声音,那场面简直不要太美…… Rod resounded that deeply grieved bubonic plague history immediately, the Skaven fatal plague is a matter, but, the living conditions of Empire people also create one of the that catastrophe roots. 罗德顿时响起了那段惨痛的鼠疫史,鼠人的致命瘟疫是一回事,但是,帝国人民的生活环境同样也是造成那场大灾难的根源之一。 By Gangtie Avenue, a corpse is lying down in the sewer, was teared and bited by one flock of wild dogs, the bloody water has arrived in the river following the drainage platoon. But nearby blacksmith's shop workers, actually ignore. As if, such picture to them, solid peace often. Some homeless beggar, annoyed Knight or the aristocrat, put the dog to bite to death him. Some civilians borrowed the usury, cannot return, was compelled the hopeless situation, the tragic death street, was eaten the food by the dog group tear and bite of vagrant. This in Empire, is not what news. 钢铁大街旁,一具尸体正躺在臭水沟里,被一群野狗撕咬,血水顺着水沟一直排到大河里。而一旁的铁匠铺工人们,对此却熟视无睹。似乎,这样的画面对于他们来说,实在太平常不过了。某个无家可归的乞丐,惹到了骑士或者贵族,放狗咬死他。或者,某个平民借了高利贷,还不上,被逼到绝境,惨死街头,被流浪的犬群撕咬啃食。这在帝国境内,都不算什么新闻。 Seemingly huge powerful Empire, is in fact hiding the innumerable crises. These, all the way, Rod watches. Also has no alternative. 看似庞大强盛的帝国,实际上隐藏着无数危机。这些,一路上,罗德都看在眼里。却也无可奈何。 The guards grasp the long sword big shield, across the crowded street, they are the regular army, career military. The position is relatively higher. But these are responsible for maintaining the order in front, was the city patrol leader personnel. They grasp the club, saw that the attire ragged civilians are close to the army, then one beats savagely, drives them. In order to guarantee the guest who the army escorts can arrive at the destination in Dacheng smoothly. 卫兵手持长剑大盾,穿过人来人往的街道,他们是正规军,职业军人。地位相对高一些。而那些在前面负责维护秩序的,则属于城市巡逻队人员了。他们手持棍棒,看到衣着褴褛的平民接近军队,便一顿暴打,将他们驱开。以保证军队护送的客人可以顺利抵达城内的目的地。 In fact, Rod knows, these so-called security forces, possibly are also the street vagabond family backgrounds, but the official to the tip, then works for the Altdorf municipal officers. Their usually black and white two sweep the decks, during the daytime in the surface is responsible for maintaining the block order, in the evening, takes off the uniform/subdue, then the incarnation is the local ruffian, from house to house charges the protection money...... Ailiruya to snort contemptuously, a facial expression of face dislike. But more inside stories, Rod has not told her. Feared this „noble” Elf hear, infuriated, carried the person nest of this patrol leader. Such, was really awkward. 事实上,罗德知道,这些所谓的治安人员,可能也就是街头地痞出身,只不过官方给点小费,便替阿尔道夫的市政官们打工。他们通常黑白两道通吃,白天表面上负责维护街区秩序,晚上,脱下制服,便化身为地痞流氓,挨家挨户收取保护费……艾莉瑞雅对此嗤之以鼻,一脸厌恶的神情。而更多的内幕,罗德还没有告诉她。怕这个“高贵”的精灵听完,火冒三丈,将这座巡逻队的人一窝端了。那样,着实就尴尬了。
