„Very good harvest, friend of mine.” “很不错的收获,我的朋友。” Soaring Giant from the Empire Nordland return trip time, Rod harvested the full gold coin and grain again. Gold Crown and Silver Shilling can pay the worker wage, but the grain can store up to winter. The Blackhammer Fort geographical environment makes area this always lack the grain. Even North can still the oneself planter grain, but the threat of Beastman, Skaven and Greenskin , the cold climate, has caused the crop of farmer in addition often is not very good, or is just about the crop time, then by Beastman and a Skaven wave of end, this situation also sometimes happened. Compares north Kislev, the farmer life of Empire is happy. 飞翔巨人号从帝国诺德领返程的时候,罗德再次收获了满满的金币和粮食。金王冠和银先令可以支付工人薪水,而粮食则可以储存过冬。黑锤堡的地理环境使得这一带总是缺乏粮食。即便北境也可以自己种植粮食,但是野兽人、鼠人和绿皮的威胁一直都在,加上寒冷的气候,使得农民的收成往往不是很好,或者正要收成的时候,便被野兽人和鼠人一波端了,这种情况也时有发生。相比于基斯里夫北方,帝国的农民生活已经算是幸福的了。 Blackhammer Fort in North most final part, needs to purchase enough grain and fodder to winter, in the past so, year after year all so. This almost turned into a tradition. 黑锤堡地处北境最末段,更是需要采购足够的粮草才得以过冬,往年如此,年年皆如此。这几乎变成了一种传统。 But the idea of Rod is, arrives before this year's Evil Moon, stores up grain. The cement city wall was about to finish, when this year Evil Moon, can depend upon the firm city wall to block Beastman and Werewolf again, then, Blackhammer Fort then becomes the safe place in civilian eyes truly. 而罗德的想法是,在今年邪月到来之前,多储备粮食。水泥城墙就快完工了,如果今年邪月之时,可以依靠坚固的城墙再次挡住野兽人和狼人,那么,黑锤堡便真正的成为了平民眼中的安全之地了。 Thus, regional civilians will continually well up. The development is also hopeful. 这样,各地的平民将会不断涌来。发展也才有希望。 „Sir, I in the Plun purchase of Nordland, superior Brettonia wine, it is said this bottle of liquor already in place bottom aging 200 years. The Brettonia big aristocrat can enjoy to obtain.” “大人,我在诺德领的普伦城采购的,上等的巴托尼亚葡萄酒,据说这瓶酒已经在地底陈酿了两百年。巴托尼亚的大贵族才能享用得到。” Captain Roberts exciting speaking. Several months of navigation trade life make his wealth increase sharply, already and he of that smuggler Captain status was almost the same initially, according to wage that Rod gives at present, the profit of each commodity trade pulls out, in a half year, his asset were more than initially one time that smuggler Captain. Moreover does not need to feel alarmed and anxious, he handles matters for the Kislev person now, what done is the right business. The river boat that does not need to shrink again and bribed the Empire official. 罗伯茨船长兴奋的说到。数个月的航海贸易生活让他的财富激增,已经和当初那个走私犯船长身份的他相差无几,按照罗德目前所给的薪水,还有每趟货物贸易的利润抽成,再过半年,他的资产就比当初那个走私犯船长多出一倍了。而且还不必担惊受怕,他现在替基斯里夫人办事,做的是正当生意。不必再畏畏缩缩的航船和贿赂帝国官员了。 „Seemingly good, thank you, Roberts.” “看上去不错,感谢你,罗伯茨。” Rod polite speaking, turns on the cork that the liquor covers immediately, ordering the retinue to try to everyone one cup on the scene. 罗德客气的说到,随即打开酒盖的软木塞,命令仆从给在场的每个人倒一杯试试。 „My being honored.” “我的荣幸。” Old Captain returns. The stove of smile on his face in compared with this room is warm. 老船长回到。他脸上的笑容比这屋子内的火炉还要暖和。 „Sir, I saw that say/way new city wall in entering a city. Is that real?” “大人,我在进城的时候看到了那道新城墙。那是真的吗？” After drinking full one, Roberts is well satisfied, he asked his Sir Lord immediately. When enters Blackhammer Fort, he saw that white city wall. In memory, two moon/month ago when he leaves Blackhammer Fort has not seen such a city wall, Empire and sea treated the two moon/month later, came back then to see such a big white city wall. Regarding Roberts, this solely does not shock, but is surprised. His limited knowledge is unable to understand how such a firm city wall completes in a short time. Since has met Rod, he felt that the head of oneself quickly is insufficient. First conquers the Norsca pirate, then kills Manticore only, now like changing Magic, built up a big city wall that surrounds town...... 喝了满满一口后,罗伯茨心满意足,他随即开口询问了他的领主大人。在进入黑锤堡的时候,他看到了那道白色的城墙。记忆里,两个月前他离开黑锤堡时还没有见到这样一座城墙,在帝国和海上待了两个月之后,回来便见到了这样一座高大的白色城墙。对于罗伯茨来说,这已经不单单是震撼了,而是惊奇。他有限的知识无法理解这样一座如此坚固的城墙是如何在短时间内建成的。自从遇到罗德以来,他感到自己的脑袋都快不够用了。先是征服诺斯卡海盗,而后是单杀蝎尾狮,现在又像变魔法一样,建起了一座环绕城镇的高大城墙…… In brief, in front of Rod, he has too many did not understand. 总之,在罗德面前,他有着太多的不理解。 „Naturally real.” “当然是真的。” Rod returns with a smile. Continues to taste oneself this „marine general” the luxury goods that brings from outside area. 罗德笑着回到。继续品尝着自己这位“海上将军”从外地带来的奢侈品。 „Is that Magic? What?” “那是魔法吗？还是什么？” Roberts is unable to understand, curious is closely examining. 罗伯茨无法理解,好奇的追问着。 „Of course not, Blackhammer Fort besides Caroline, other Mage? Let alone Caroline is also Ice Witch, she takes two places to run, from time to time must return to Hyde Fort to treat side her father. Has no free time to pay attention to the construction of city wall radically. Also, I remember that Ice Witch won't make Magic of city wall probably?” “当然不是,黑锤堡除了卡洛琳,还有别的巫师吗？何况卡洛琳也是一个霜寒女巫而已,她要两地跑,时而还要回到海德堡待在她父亲身边。根本没空理会城墙的建设。再说,我记得霜寒女巫好像也不会造城墙的魔法吧？” „That is that is......, but this was too simply mysterious. Had this city wall, the security sense of people will strengthen many.” “那是那是……但是这简直太神奇了。有了这道城墙,人们的安全感会增强许多。” „That is the affirmation, I have counted, in the past several months, the person who coming Blackhammer Fort to make a living are obviously many. Regardless of the link relative ratio is compared with the same period......” “那是肯定的,我统计过了,近几个月来,来黑锤堡谋生的人明显多了。无论环比还是同比……” Rod is smiling the reply, simultaneously does not forget to taste the good wine of mouth. Thought of the lubrication, the taste mellow wine can always make him recall in the past the years...... 罗德微笑着回答,同时不忘品尝嘴边的美酒。思思润滑,口感醇厚的葡萄酒总能让他回想起往昔岁月…… „Compared with the same period? Link relative ratio? What is that?” “同比？环比？那是什么？” Roberts is frowning to ask. 罗伯茨皱着眉头问到。 „This...... the link relative ratio was last month compares, meaning compared with the same period was compared with last year this time. The statistics need to collect the data variously and contrast, this is accurate. This can analyze the truth from the digit.” “这个……环比就是和上个月相比较,同比的意思就是和去年的这个时候相比较。统计需要多方面收集数据并对比,这样才准确。这样才能从数字里面分析出真理。” Old Captain Roberts hear, if there is become aware nod. 老船长罗伯茨听完,若有所悟的点了点头。 ...... …… „Our sentries came back.” “我们的哨兵回来了。” While young wine joyful time, out of the door, resounded the messenger rapid sound of footsteps. Does not need to guess, Rod also knows, so footsteps hurriedly are the sentry have certainly any recent discovery, passed to here the information directly. 正当小酒怡情的时候,门外,响起了传令兵急促的脚步声。不用猜,罗德也知道,如此急匆匆的脚步一定是哨兵有什么新发现,将情报直接传到了这里。 „Sir, the army, the new enemy appeared.” “大人,军队,新的敌人出现了。” Guard dignified report. 卫兵神情凝重的汇报到。 From the beginning everyone has not been serious it. 只是一开始大家并没有将它当一回事。 „What new enemy?” “什么样的新敌人？” Rod has turned the head, tranquil asking. 罗德转过头去,平静的问到。 The furnace fire, good wine and rare summer, this is really not the discussion military situation good season, however, had an accident must ascertain. 炉火、美酒、难得的夏天,这真不是什么商讨军情的好时节,然而,出事了还是要问清楚。 Rod hints the guard not to need to be vague, brothers who here all can trust. In the hut is few person, chief Knight Virgil, guards the castle to arrive in the war of Evil Moon with Rod together finally ; Knight-errant Lawrence, is widely traveled with oneself, goes Kislev to purchase the Ice Pepper seed, a knight-errant, actually almost becomes the Rod commissioner ; Sart, Norsca Marauder Captain, the Rod assistant, in the Black Forest campaign is Rod has also kept off the blade ; That old Captain Roberts, mixes with Blackhammer Fort Lord, has lived on the well-off life. These people indeed can also trust. 罗德示意卫兵不必隐晦,这里全是可以信任的兄弟。小屋内没有太多人,首席骑士维吉尔,与罗德一起在邪月之战里守卫城堡到最后;游侠劳伦斯,跟着自己走南闯北,来前往基斯里夫采购冰椒种子,一名游侠,却几乎成为了罗德的事务官;塞尔塔,诺斯卡掠夺者的队长,罗德的副手,黑森林战役里还为罗德挡过刀;还有那个老船长罗伯茨,跟着黑锤堡领主混,已经过上了小康生活。这些人的确也可以信任。 „Swamp Monster, Sir, is Swamp Monster. They appear in Black Forest, has five days of distances from the border probably.” “沼泽怪,大人,是沼泽怪。他们出现在黑森林里,距离边境大概还有五天的路程。” The guard expression is dignified. 卫兵表情凝重。 „How many?” “多少？” „Probably 100-200, or more......” “大概100-200只,或者更多……” Swamp Monster, this amphibious amphibious monster is the life in being far away from the human town remote swamp, they rarely go out, this time initiative appears in the area of human activities, it is estimated that is food-deficient, has to go out to look for food, intrudes in the forest. Essentially they and Beastman are the same, believes in the Chaos monster, but compares in Beastman, the quantity of swamp monster are miserable. However, when one crowd of appearance strange amphibious lifeform appear in your front, the normal person will be afraid. 沼泽怪,这种水陆两栖的怪物原本是生活在远离人类城镇的偏僻沼泽里,他们很少外出,这次主动出现在人类活动的地区,估计是食物短缺,不得不外出觅食,才闯入森林里的。本质上来说他们和野兽人一样,都是信奉混沌的怪物,但是相比于野兽人,沼泽妖的数量可谓少得可怜。不过,当一群长相怪异的两栖生物出现在你面前时,正常人都会感到恐惧。 „These wild animals intrude the forest, our people unexpectedly had not discovered. Calculates that they are in luck.” “这些野兽闯入森林,我们的人竟然没有发现。算他们走运。” Sart in one side speaking of calmly. 塞尔塔在一旁若无其事的说到。 „Do not have a low opinion of the enemy, Sart, Swamp Monster few appearances, we about them knew that are not many.” “不要轻敌,塞尔塔,沼泽怪很少出现,我们对他们了解并不多。” Rod spoke. 罗德说到。 „Appears in the forest, has not moved toward the castle, has not threatened to us, could manage them.” “只是出现在森林里,并没有朝城堡这边移动,对我们没有威胁,或许可以不去管他们。” Virgil took a stand. 维吉尔表态到。 „But the civilians will be afraid, the logging team will therefore be fearful and apprehensive.” “但是平民会感到恐惧,伐木队会因此胆战心惊。” Rod is frowning to return. Blackhammer Fort just started to revive, constructs the city wall, establishes the standing-by patrol leader, to strengthen here public security, quite make more civilians come to here to make a living. Basically all border regions have same characteristics — — their rich resources, the insufficient population is actually stationed. Because is unsafe. If solved the security problem, the surrounding resources and land can the large scale development. Forms a powerful the place influence, is not the issue. 罗德皱着眉头回到。黑锤堡刚刚开始复兴,兴建城墙,建立常备巡逻队,一切都是为了加强这里的治安,好让更多的平民来这里谋生。基本上所有边境地区都有着一个相同的特点——它们资源丰富,却缺乏足够的人口驻扎。因为不安全。如果解决了安全问题,周围的资源和土地就可以大规模开发。形成一个强力的地方势力,不是问题。 Therefore, Rod plans to remove this hidden danger. In addition also conducted days in view of the training of Norscan, now, needed a fight to examine these training achievements. 所以,罗德打算除掉这股隐患。加上针对诺斯卡人的训练也进行一段日子了,现在,也需要一场战斗来检验那些训练成果了。 „Sir, is your meaning? Attacks them on own initiative, expels the forest them?” “大人,你的意思是？主动进攻它们,将它们赶出森林吗？” „What has is not possible? We need a true victory, each time is the passive defenses, this time, we need a proactive attack. Since they first rush.” “有什么不可？我们需要一场真正的胜利,每次都是被动防守,这次,我们需要一次主动进攻。既然它们先闯进来的话。” Rod kept a serious look speaking. 罗德表情严肃的说到。
