晚风清冷,位于城市中央的达哈神殿敲响了一天中最后的钟声,钟声洪亮、沉厚。却犹如挽钟,敲响在每个人心头,令人感到一股莫名的恐惧。„Wemustgrasp, thisis an once in a thousand yearsgood opportunity.”
“我们必须抓紧了,这是一次千载难逢的好机会。”In the magnificentroom, ArchdukeSamIlreadin a low voice. Heis choked up with emotions, actuallyanxious seat. Whatis excited, since King of the NorthRodoverthrowspredecessorQueenKatarin, the southaristocrathas not so unitedto be hostile towardTzar, SamIl seemed to have felt that the royal crownis wavingtohim, thisisoneselffromKingthronerecentonetime.
华丽的房间内,大公爵萨姆伊尔低声念到。他心潮澎湃,却又焦急不安。兴奋的是,自从北境之王罗德推翻前任女王卡特琳娜以后,南方贵族从来没有如此团结仇视过沙皇,萨姆伊尔仿佛感觉到王冠在向他招手,这是自己距离国王宝座最近的一次。Whatis anxiouswas the speed of aristocratLordsactionwas too slow, theywere only rich, actuallycould not handle the substantivematter. DenouncingKingis useless, needs the practical action. But at the beginning of southernaristocratLordin the civil warendedthenlost the military powerearly, must prepare for waragainin one single daycannotcomplete. Candoonly, thenlooks for the mercenaries. HoweverGryphon Legionalreadydestruction, inKislevagainnotlarge-scalemercenariesarmy corps. The call armybecomes a mess.
焦急的是贵族领主们行动的速度太慢了,他们光有钱,却做不了实质性的事情。声讨国王是没用的,需要有实际行动。而南方贵族领主早在内战结束之初便早早丢了兵权,如今要再招兵买马也不是一朝一夕可以完成的。唯一可以做的,便是寻找雇佣军。但是狮鹫军团已经覆灭,基斯里夫境内再无大型雇佣军兵团。召集军队成为一个棘手的事。Is goodbecause , the aristocratsphenomenallyunite. Moreover, theysupportoneself. SamIlknows the oneselfstrength and weakness. Heknows, ifsouthLordshas the strengthto organize a regimentin a short time, oneselfalsohad victory in the hand.
好在,贵族们空前团结。而且,他们都支持自己。萨姆伊尔知道自己的优势与劣势。他知道,若是南方领主们有实力在短时间内组织一支军团,自己也就胜券在握了。„Sir, confidential letter!”
“大人,密信!”WhenSamIlandis impatiently excitedfor the forthcomingvictory, raised the crowpersonto runflustered. GaveDuke a sectionpaperoneself.
正当萨姆伊尔为即将到来的胜利而心急兴奋时,养鸦人慌慌张张的跑了进来。将一小节纸张递给了公爵本人。With the uneasymood, SamIlopened the correspondence. Whenhereads off the firstline of characters, the complexionhas becomeveryugly. The servantsstare at the mood of masterto changein the one sideanxiously, SamIloftendoes not reveal the oneselfmood, ifreveals, definitelywill have the important matterto happen.
怀着忐忑不安的心情,萨姆伊尔打开了书信。当他读完第一行字,脸色已经变得十分难看。仆人在一旁紧张盯着主人的情绪变化,萨姆伊尔不经常流露自己的情绪,但是一旦流露,必然会有大事发生。
After the momentis silent, SamIlcomplexionis pale, before hearrives at the fireplace, threw into thatsmallsection of letter paper the fire of high-piled firewood. Instantaneously, the papercombustion, changes to the ignitionstar, vanishesin the fireplace.
片刻沉默之后,萨姆伊尔脸色铁青,他走到壁炉前,将那一小截信纸扔进了火堆中。瞬间,纸张燃烧,化作点点火星,消失在壁炉中。„What's wrong? Friend of mine.”
“怎么了?我的朋友。”BlackroseEdadmiresto inquirein a low voice.
黑玫瑰埃德慕低声询问到。„Rod...... damnRod, hedispatched troopsahead of time!”
“罗德……该死的罗德,他提前发兵了!”SamIlis gasping for breathto reply. Hisarmis shivering, a cavityangerconstrains at heart, divulgesnowhere.
萨姆伊尔喘着气回答到。他的手臂在颤抖,一腔怒火压抑在心里,无处宣泄。„Is impossible! Organizes a regiment2-3months of basis unable to organize! Was the name that , hedispatched troopswhat?”
“不可能!组织一支军团没有2-3个月根本组织不起来!再说,他发兵的名义是什么?”Edadore/admireJingasked. Hewent to warinEmpirehitfor a lifetime, was clearregarding the armyoperation. The Kingcall army, needsfirstto write a lettertoregionalsmallLord, at the same timecollectiongrain and fodder. Whenregionalarmiesgatherto come, the grain and foddergets ready, does not have2-3months, is unable to complete. Eventhis, stillstartsmerely. Butaccording toSamIl'smeaning, Rodhas completed the completeconveningwork, andarmyonleaving for the Kislevroad. AdmiresregardingEd, this is absolutely impossibleto achieve, even if elects the emperorto waitconvenes the regimentpersonally, cannot achievethatquickly!
埃德慕惊问到。他在帝国境内打仗了打了一辈子,对于军队运作再清楚不过了。国王召集军队,需要先写信给各地小领主,一边筹集粮草。等到各地军队汇聚而来,粮草备齐,没有2-3个月,根本无法完成。就算是这样,也仅仅是开始。而按照萨姆伊尔的意思,罗德已经完成全部的召集工作,并且大军已经在开往基斯里夫城的路上了。对于埃德慕来说,这是绝对不可能做到的,哪怕是选帝候亲自召集军团,也做不到那么快!„Ihopeactuallythisis a falsenews, butthisis the northernersees with one's own eyes, armyvast momentumprocesseachtown of Rod, everywhere one visit, the city gateopensgreatly, the merchants and civilianscheer. The name that theyuserequestsTzarPavirto acknowledge that withoursame—— the aristocratLordprivate propertyis inviolable.”
“我倒是希望这是一条假消息,但这是北方人亲眼看到的,罗德的大军声势浩大的经过每座城镇,所到之处,城门大开,商人和平民欢呼雀跃。他们打的名义和我们一样——要求沙皇帕维尔承认贵族领主的私人财产不可侵犯。”SamIlhatesto clench jaws. Saw the fruit that actuallymustsurrender something submissively, SamIlmustkill the heart of Rodto have. Hehas operatedin the hidden place, causedso manymethods, spentso manyfinancial resource, hastodaythisaspect, suchopportunity. Butin the end, King of the Northhit a soundto refer tomerely, theneightsideLaiyuan. But is good, Rodrepresented the public opinionagain, is notKing, prestigiousactuallyfarultraKing......
萨姆伊尔恨得咬牙切齿。眼看到手的果实却要拱手让人,萨姆伊尔要杀死罗德的心都有。他一直在暗处操纵,使了那么多手段,花了那么多财力,才有今天这幅局面,这样的机会。可是到头来,北境之王仅仅打了一个响指,便八方来援。这下可好,罗德再次代表了民意,不是国王,声望却远超国王……
A dismalfeelinggushed outsome——peopleto try hardsuddenly the half of the dayfromSamIldeep place, exhausted the full power, thing that could not obtain. Somepeople, so long aswith a smallfinger, comes as soon as called...... perhaps, this is the destiny of everyone?
一股悲凉感突然从萨姆伊尔内心深处涌出——有些人努力了半天,用尽全力,都得不到的东西。有的人,只要用一个小指头,就召之即来……或许,这便是每个人的命运吧?SamIlandEddo not admireclearly, whysowill be why quick? Only ifhedoes prepareahead of time? Has prepared?
只是萨姆伊尔和埃德慕不明白,为什么,为什么会这么快?除非他提前准备?早就准备好的?Yes, certainlyisthis! SamIlis suddenly enlighted. oneselfin the observationsituation, oneselfis preparingto prepare, the opposite party is also. Not justoneselfmaintains composure, is waiting. Inthis point, Rodworthilyis an expert. SamIlthinkssuddenlyhowthisfellowisbecomesKing of the NorthfromNorthsmallLord, Kislevprotects the countryDuke. Bears patiently, the hidden, is this NorthLordspecialty......
是的,一定是这样的!萨姆伊尔恍然大悟。自己在观察局势,自己在准备筹划,对方也是。并不是只有自己不动声色,在等待。这一点上,罗德不愧是老手。萨姆伊尔忽然想起来这家伙是如何从一个北境小领主一跃成为北境之王,基斯里夫护国公的。隐忍,隐藏,可是这位北境领主的拿手本领……
......
……
The bonfire in dim light of night, lightened the boundlessland, just likegroupstar that crashes, distributesonKislevNorththisancientland.
夜色里的篝火,点亮了苍茫的大地,犹如坠落的群星,分布在基斯里夫北境这块古老的土地上。Under the moonlight, Rodstandsin the smallhillpeakalone, is overlooking the land, is overlooking the military compound. If as expected, in a halfmonth, Unitcanarrive under Kislev. All the way, the Northregimentmarchesverysmoothly, Rodknows, not onlythisbecause of the oneselfprestige, morereasonsisbeforehandpreparation.
月光下,罗德独自站在小山丘顶端,俯瞰着大地,俯瞰着军营。不出意外的话,再过半个月的时间,部队就可以抵达基斯里夫城下。一路上,北境军团行军十分顺利,罗德知道,这不仅是因为自己的个人威望,更多的原因是事先的准备。
The armiesgo south, will harassinevitablyunavoidable. Regardless of the armyqualityis high, some not obedientsoldierswill always cause trouble. Therefore, before embarking, Roddeleted the personneldisposition, onlysets out the crack troops. Rather than the large-scaleregimentgoes south. Because, thisgoing south, Rodknows that oneselfwill not encounteranyartificialhindrance.
大军南下,势必无法避免扰民。无论军队素质再高,总有一些不听话的士兵会闹事。所以,出发前,罗德删减了人员配置,只出动精兵。而不是大规模的军团南下。因为,这次南下,罗德知道自己不会遇到任何人为的阻碍。First, finishes an apprenticeshipfamously, forpublic opinion. WhichLordwill not haveto sayone„not”. In the past, Lordsent out troops, the biggesttroublewas the suppression of King. HoweverRodknows,this at this moment, does not exist.
首先,出师有名,为了民意。不会有哪个领主说一声“不”。以往,领主兴兵,最大的麻烦是国王的镇压。但是罗德知道,这点在此时此刻,是不存在的。Kingsupport of powerfromunderLords, without the support of placeLord, Kingis one -man army. PresentTzarPavir, angered the aristocrats, noLordis willingto provide the armytohim, Kislevexcept forbeing based inUnit, does not haveotherarmiesto be possibleforPavirto useagain.国王的权力来自底下领主们的支持,若是没有地方领主的支持,国王不过是一个光杆司令。眼下的沙皇帕维尔,惹怒了众贵族,没有一个领主愿意给他提供军队,基斯里夫城除了常驻部队,再无其他军队可供帕维尔使用。As for the southernaristocratalliance, cannot organize the regimentfor a short time. After the north-southcivil warended, Dannisa series ofpoliciesconfiscated the southernaristocratLordmilitary powerdirectly, can only stay behinda fewis based in the soldierto guard the castle. Because the southernaristocratsobeyedinQueenKatarininitially, after defeating, is naturally speechless. Nowlooks like, initiallythisdecisionwassocorrect. Stabilizedfor the futurepolitical situation.
至于南方贵族联盟,一时半会根本组织不起军团。南北内战结束后,丹尼斯的一系列政策直接没收了南方贵族领主的兵权,只能留下少数常驻士兵守卫自家城堡。由于南方贵族们当初听从于女王卡特琳娜,战败后自然也无话可说。如今看来,当初这一决定是如此正确。为今后的政局稳定了许多。If the onlyworry, thatis located in the wife and daughters in capital city. Caroline, herconditionis getting more and more stable, almoststabilizesmakes the personlingering fear, the processingmatternot haverevealing of mood. The rationalityis good, is only, ashuman, the impossibleabsoluterationality, some emotionswill always be controlling the mortalimperceptibly. HoweverCarolinemakesRodfeel, only then nearly perfectrationality...... Ice Witch...... does not understandMagicRodevennot to know that what kind ofaltitudewife'sMagicattainmentshad arrived.
如果说唯一的担心,那就是位于都城的妻女。卡洛琳,她的状态越来越稳定,稳定得让人后怕,处理事情几乎没有一丝情绪的流露。理性是好的,只是,作为人类,不可能绝对的理性,总有一些情感会在不知不觉中左右着凡人。但是卡洛琳让罗德感觉到的,只有近乎完美的理性……霜寒女巫……不懂魔法的罗德甚至不知道妻子的魔法造诣已经到了怎样的高度。DaughterDannis, Rodalwaysthought that thischild many mattershad not said that sheintendsto concealanything. Is Borisby being sent to frontier serviceborder area, whythis? Inthisdefinitelyhaswhatreason, the litigantdid not say. Allquestions, makeRodthisgo southat heartanxiously.
还有女儿丹尼斯,罗德总觉得这孩子还有许多事没说,她有意隐瞒着什么。鲍里斯被发配边疆,这又是为什么?这里面肯定有什么缘由,当事人不说而已。一切的疑问,都让罗德此趟南下心里不安。
