Theymarchin the vastbigsnowfield, continualhas not stood stillfor half a month, the armycannot withstandtiredly, butnosoldiercomplained,no onegets angry. On the contrary, onallfaceswrote all over the anticipation.
他们在一望无际的大雪原上行军,连续半个月不曾停歇,军队疲乏不堪,但是没有士兵埋怨,更没有人发怒。相反,所有人脸上都写满了期待。
After looting the Hell Pittreasure house, KiessLeefNorthern Expeditionary Armyis drawing a car(riage)car(riage)goldburied treasure, returns towithin the boundariesfromnorth. So long asWall, theywere safe.
洗劫了地狱深坑宝库之后,基斯利夫北伐军拉着一车车黄金宝藏,从北地返回境内。只要到了长城,他们就安全了。Meanwhile, so long asthere, hadplace that canspend. At least the liquor and freshbreadhad. Againtowardsouth, isBlackhammer Fort, thereis the Northbiggestmilitarycastle. The regiment there recuperation, in the meantime, countlessmerchantswill gather there, waits forthisgroupto triumphal returnto turn over to the soldier.
同时,只要到了那里,就有可以消费的地方了。至少酒和新鲜的面包就有了。再往南,就是黑锤堡,那里是北境最大的军事城堡。军团将在那里休整,同时,无数的商人将汇聚在那里,等着这帮凯旋而归的士兵。Theywill trade the spoils of war, exchange the truecurrency . Moreover, there, theycanstrollin the city the bestbrothel, drinks to heart's content the high-qualityvodka.
他们将会将战利品交易,兑换成真正的流通货币,而且,在那里,他们可以逛城里最好的妓院,畅饮高质量的伏特加酒。Againthen, theywill go toErengrad, accepts the local citizento worshipfrantically. Onlythinks ofthese, everyoneis then impossibleto haveanythingto complain.
再然后,他们将前往厄仑格拉德,接受当地市民最狂热的崇拜。光是想到这些,所有人便不可能有什么埋怨。„Toldme, did Gelter, howyouknow the ad hocsquad? Andhowto jointheir?”
“告诉我,盖尔特,你是怎么知道特遣小队的?并且怎么加入他们的?”Rodsitson the bigblackwarhorse, is askingsideMagewith the vigoroussound.罗德坐在高大的黑色战马上,用浑厚的声音问着身边的巫师。Although the soundis not loud, is disclosing an irresistibledignity.
虽然声音不大,却透露着一股不可抗拒的威严。Gelterfelt that sidenorthGreat Lordis interrogatingoneself, meaning that but the listhas not interrogatedfrom the expression. HistonemadeGelterfeel a seriousconstriction.
盖尔特感觉身边的北方大领主在质问自己,但是单从措辞上面却没有丝毫质问的意思。只是他的语气让盖尔特感到了一种沉重的压迫感。Gelterdeeplyinspires, thinks of the indifferentappearancediligently. Thencarelessreply——
盖尔特深吸了一口气,努力装着无所谓的样子。而后漫不经心的回答——„IhearfromBrandiOttothereaccidentally.”
“我从布兰迪奥托那里偶然听说的。”Then, a whiletheyhave not spokenagain, RodmakesGeltermooduneasysilent.
说完,好一阵子他们都没有再说话,罗德的沉默让盖尔特心情忐忑不安起来。However, saw that Great Lordhas not closely examinedagain, Gelterrelaxesfinally.
但是,看到大领主没有再追问下去,盖尔特终于还是松了一口气。However, Rodhad been clear that at presentthisyoungEmpireMageis lying. Matteroneself of Hell Pitdeath squadnevermentionedtoBrandiOtto, thisEmpirerich merchant, alwaysonlyinvolved the economic domain, the militarywas nothisspecialty, oneselfhas also never discussedthismatterwithhim.
然而,罗德早已清楚眼前这个年轻的帝国巫师在撒谎。地狱深坑暗杀队的事自己从未向布兰迪奥托说起,这位帝国富商,从来都只涉及经济领域,军事不是他的专长,自己也从未跟他商量过这件事。Geltersoreplied that thinksishethinks the most reasonableexplanation, becauseheandBrandiOtto came from EmpirecapitalAltdorf, andis the aristocratstatus, two peoplerelatewell are also well-known. MoreoverBrandiOttois the Rodsidepersonaladviser, thiswhowas clear.
盖尔特这般回答想必是他认为最合理的解释,因为他和布兰迪奥托都来自帝国首都阿尔道夫,并且都是贵族身份,两人关系不错也是众人皆知。而且布兰迪奥托是罗德身边的贴身顾问,这点谁都清楚。Therefore, inGelteropinion, thisis the bestexplanationnotforstrange.
于是,在盖尔特看来,这是最佳的解释也不为怪。Rodhas not closely examinedagainisbecausedoes not think, does not need. The person of lying, pressed for an answerhim, will only makehimweavemorerumorsto cover the initiallie, in the endexhaustingtiredoneself. Butwantsto revealperson who aspiration, youdo not needto press for an answer, hewill also say.罗德没有再追问则是因为不想,也没必要。撒谎之人,逼问他,只会让他编织更多的谎言来掩盖最初的谎言,到头来累人累己。而想吐露心声的人,你不必逼问,他也会说。Therefore, Rodno longerclosely examines, whenwhichday of Magewants saying that henaturallycansay. Naturally, did not needhim saying that Rodhas actually also guessed correctlysome.
所以,罗德不再追问,等哪天巫师想说了,他自然会说。当然,不用他多说,罗德其实也已经猜到一些了。Twodayslater, triumphal returnedto turn over to the army who to arrive in the Wallunder foot, bigcity wallas alwaysstretched acrossentireNorthjust like the snowy peakgenerally, butpresentedbefore the people, thenalsowanted the bigtwotimes of whitecity wallscompared withEmpirecapitalAltdorf.
两天后,凯旋而归的大军抵达了长城脚下,一如既往的高大城墙宛如雪峰一般横跨整个北境,而呈现在众人面前的,则是比帝国首都阿尔道夫还要高大两倍的白色城墙。In the blackcrowfort of Wallunder foot, the exhaustedsoldiertasted the warmliquorwaterandfood for the first time.
在长城脚下的黑鸦堡,疲惫的士兵第一次尝到了温热的酒水和食物。RodordersbigUnitto start offin this recuperationtwodaysagain, while convenientunder the oneselfalsoinspectionWallconstructionuntil nowachievementandstrongholddefend the work.罗德命令大部队在此休整两天再上路,顺便自己也视察下长城修建至今的成果和城寨防御工作。LocalcommanderWarwickaskedRodto enter the campto inspectrespectfully, accompanies the Rodsame place, Bear KnightbigCaptainShibeis.
当地司令官沃里克恭敬的请罗德进营视察,陪同罗德一起的,还有熊骑士大队长西贝斯。
The blackcrowfort is the same likehisname, darkgloomy and cold. Inthisalmostin the castle of place of winter, coldlywill be forever closely associatedwith the death, wholetime in a year cannot see the clear sky, the haze and wind and snowandthisice-coldfortyear to yeararepartners. Meanwhile, in the castleis raisingmanycrows, the wartime, theseblackbirdsare then responsible forfeeding in the capital the frontlineinformation, continuesregionalinformationcontactwork.
黑鸦堡如同他的名字一样,黑暗阴冷。在这几乎永冬之地的城堡内,寒冷与死亡如影随形,一年中的大部分时间看不到晴空,阴霾与风雪与这座冰冷要塞常年为伴。同时,城堡内养着许多乌鸦,战时,这些黑色的鸟便负责将前线的情报传回首都,也承接起各地的情报联络工作。„Coldnessas always, difficult. Laboriousyou, Wallguards.”
“一如既往的寒冷,艰苦。辛苦你们了,长城的卫士们。”Commander-in-chiefWarwickmustpresent the workreport and financial statement, butwas declinedbyRod. Is working as the surface of people, Rodloses the account book and workdiaryon the table, thenarrives in front of everyone, is concerned the body and state of mind of people.
总司令沃里克原本要呈上工作汇报和财务报表,但是被罗德回绝了。当着众人的面,罗德只是将账本和工作日志丢在了桌上,而后走到每个人面前,关切起众人的身体和精神状态。Thissmallmovementis seemingly simple, actuallyactually is also intends, but. Throws down the account booknot to look, notreallycompletetrust, butexpressedtrust of oneselfsubordinating the subordinate, thispetty actionpeoplewatched, the Rodgoalwas also achieved.
这个小小的动作看似简单,其实却也是有意而为之。丢下账本不看,不是真的完全信任,只是表达自己对直属部下的信任,这个小动作众人看在眼里,罗德的目的也就达到了。Next, drops out the financialaccount booknot to look,firstcared the situation of guard, thiswongratitude of OfficerWall.
其次,抛下财务账本不看,第一时间关心起守卫的情况,这更加赢得了长城军官们的感激。NorthGreat Lord, is the KiessLeef'struehierarch, actuallycares about the life of grass-roots officerpersonally, thistoordinarymilitary officer, was a supremeglory.北境大领主,也是基斯利夫真正的掌权者,竟然亲自关心起基层军官的生活,这对普通军官来说,也是一种至上的荣耀了。
After exchanging greetingscares, RodandcommanderWarwickaloneentered the office. Entered the office, the wooden dooris then closed. The atmosphereseriouslyis suddenly sad.
寒暄关心完以后,罗德和司令官沃里克单独进了办公室。一进办公室,木门便被关了起来。气氛陡然严肃沉闷起来。„Boris, hadn't found?”
“鲍里斯,还是没有找到吗?”Ignites the cigar, Rodasks the matter that thisoneselfmostcared aboutheavyheartedly.
点着雪茄,罗德忧心忡忡的问起了这件自己最关心的事。Warwickalsoobviouslyfelt that the atmosphereis not right, buthenot, thereforeterrified, hecarried outat presentthisman'sorder, sticks to the principle, thenhas a clear conscience. According toRoddirectsprinciple—— of Wallgarrison troops, so long asdoes not doto violateKiessLeefinterests the matter, is not the military deserter, takes onto guard the heavy responsibility of northernWall, is not the dereliction of duty. Allenter the person who Wallguards, howregardless of the formerlife experience, in the Wallunder foot, the peopleallwere the ordinarysoldier, soldier. On this basis, the localcommanderhas the rightto orderto do anything.
沃里克也明显感觉到气氛不对劲,但是他并没有因此惶恐不安,他执行了眼前这个男人的命令,坚守原则,便问心无愧。按照罗德指挥长城守军的原则——只要不做违背基斯利夫利益的事,不做逃兵,担起守卫北方长城的重任,便不算失职。一切进入长城戍守的人,无论之前身世如何,在长城脚下,众人皆是普通士兵,战士。在此基础上,当地司令官有权下令做任何事。Warwickthendoes this. WhenBeastmaninvasion, heexercisedoneselfto take the power of castlecommander-in-chief. Traded the Wallsecurityby the smallestsacrifice. Thisdoes not violateanyprincipleessentially.
沃里克便是这样做的。当野兽人入侵时,他行使了自己作为城堡最高指挥官的权力。以最小的牺牲换来长城的安全。这从本质上并不违背任何原则。Naturally, Rodis notblamesthisyoungborder defensecommander, ifblamed, aslosingBoris„chief criminal”, Warwickhad been infiltrated the dungeon, suffered injustice. ButRodcontinuationmakesthisold bonesguardWallhere. In the original intention must strengthen the oneselflaw, allby the Wallsafety, KiessLeefsafetyare the first places.
当然,罗德并不是来责备这个小小的边防指挥官的,若要责备,作为弄丢鲍里斯的“罪魁祸首”,沃里克早已被打入地牢,不见天日。而罗德却继续让这个老骨头在这里驻守长城。本意上也是要加强自己的法令,一切以长城安危,基斯利夫安全为首位。„Had not found, the rangerevery weekmustgo outto go on patrol, buthas achieved nothinguntil now.”
“没找到,游骑兵每周都要外出巡逻,但是至今一无所获。”Warwickis replyingcalmly.
沃里克镇定的回答着。„Icednorth the frontforestto look? Has the Troll Mountainsunder foot, looked?”
“冰锋森林以北找过了吗?还有巨魔山脉脚下,找过了吗?”Is nipping the cigar, Roddepressedasking. The soundis not loud, butactuallyjust like a heavy hammer, rapsin the commanderWarwick'sheart.
咬着雪茄,罗德沉闷的问到。声音并不大,但却犹如一把重锤,敲击在司令官沃里克的心头。„Ices the frontforest in a year , only thentwomoon/monthcanpass through, othertime, thatforestallfrozen, no onecan the seasonbeyondsummeracross the place of thatdeath. At the speed of ranger, at leastrequireshalf a monthtimeacrossthatforest, turns backandwantshalf a monthagain. In other words, even ifacross the forest, westillonly hasonemonth of searchtime. Hopesveryuncertainly. Moreover, thisisinhaving the situation of the preparationandincommodity, Borisin the pastwas, the bodydid not have the commoditysupplies, at allnot possible......”
“冰锋森林一年中只有两个月的时间可以穿越,其他时间,那片森林皆被冰封,没有人可以在夏季以外的时节穿过那片死亡之地。以游骑兵的速度,穿过那片森林至少要半个月的时间,再折回又要半个月。也就是说,即便穿过森林,我们也只有一个月的搜寻时间。希望十分渺茫。而且,这还是在有充分准备和物资的情况下,鲍里斯当年是独自一人,身上没有物资补给,根本不可能……”„Ordinarysoldieris impossibleto achieve, does not representhim is not not possibleto achieve. Initially, he aloneslaughtered an entireBeastmanregiment, didn't youfeelnot possible?”
“普通士兵不可能做到的,不代表他不可能做到。当初,他一个人屠杀一整支野兽人战团,你们不是也觉得不可能?”
The RodwordsmadeWarwickagainspeechlesssilent. Heknows,at presentthiswithlegendaryLord of vicissitudes, does not pursue the responsibilitypastmilitaryto go outto direct, butisblamesoneselftosearching for the workdoes not make contribution.罗德的话让沃里克再次无语沉默了。他知道,眼前这位久经沧桑的传奇领主,并不是追责当年的军事外出指挥,而是责备自己对搜寻工作的不尽力。Average manwith every effortwiththisNorthLordwith every effortistwo matters...... thisis the place of Warwickmost difficultoffice. The average peopleno oneare willingto take riskacross the icefrontforest, let alone must wanderin the northBarbarianNorscapersondomain, searches for a person who is almost impossibleto live.
只是,常人的尽力和这位北境领主的尽力是两码事……这才是沃里克最难办的地方。普通人谁也不愿意冒险穿过冰锋森林,更别说还要在北方蛮族诺斯卡的人地盘上游荡,搜寻一个几乎不可能活下来的人。„Ok, Warwick, continuedyourwork, easilydo not give a matterto draw a conclusion. Humanis the race that easilydoes not concede, wecreatemany is not not possible, have a look atyourpresentcity wall, before completing, everyonesaid that itwasnot possible. However, weare doingas before, even ifwithentireonegeneration of time, mustdo. ComparesinconstructingWall, attacks and capturesHell Pit, youfelt the matter that youdois more difficult than others?”
“好了,沃里克,继续你的工作,不要轻易给一件事下结论。人类是一个不轻易服输的种族,我们创造了许多不可能,看看你眼前的这座城墙,建成之前,所有人都说它是不可能的。但是,我们依旧在做,哪怕用整整一代人的时间,也要做下去。相比于建长城,攻克地狱深坑,你觉得你做的事比别人困难吗?”Rodcoldlyspeaks. Warwickexpressionsolidifies there, just like a frozen stiffstatue, did not say a word. It is not ableto say a word......罗德冷冷说到。沃里克则表情凝固在那里,宛如一尊冻僵的雕像,一言不发。也无法多发一言……
