„Germann! Unexpectedlyisyou!”
“戈尔曼!竟然是你!”Varokensets outsuddenly, herecognizesthismiddle-agedmercenary, moreoveris very familiar, manyyears ago followsinownsidepotency, keeps the unusualmercenary who the Hittokmanagementgives loyalty toyour highnessfor a long time, if not the strengthis insufficient, eventhere is an opportunityto enter the high level.瓦罗根霍然起身,他认得这个中年佣兵,而且很熟悉,多年前就跟在自己身边效力,长期留在海托克管理效忠殿下的超凡佣兵,如果不是实力不够,甚至有机会进入高层。Amelis is also is not only startledanddisappointed.艾蜜莉丝也是既吃惊又失望。
After theyobtain the news that the civil warstops, has been investigatingleak, has not actually suspectedGermann'shead.
他们得到内战停止的消息以后,就一直在排查泄密者,却没有怀疑到戈尔曼的头上。„Lord Count, youdetermined that isGermann?”Varokencannot bearask, stillsuspicion.
“伯爵大人,您确定是戈尔曼吗?”瓦罗根忍不住问道,仍有一丝怀疑。WithoutRennreplied,Amelisreturnsforhim said that „Rennwill not make a mistake.”
没等雷恩回答,艾蜜莉丝就替他回道,“雷恩不会弄错。”SheinGlamorgan more than oneyear, fully realized that Rennhas an unusualability, as ifcansee throughpeople's heart, distinguishes the lie, thereforeneverdaresto liein front ofRenn.
她在格拉摩根一年多,深知雷恩有一种奇特的能力,似乎能够看穿人心,辨别谎言,所以从来不敢在雷恩面前说谎。Dinklagealsosaid: „Varoken, youshould notsuspect the My Lordability.”丁拉吉也说道:“瓦罗根,你不该怀疑领主大人的能力。”HefollowsRennto seethesemercenaries, butwalked, saidseveralirrelevantingwords, uncoveredGermannfromseveral hundredpeople. Moreover, after Germannmentioned by name, seemsveryflustered, is almost certainthispersonhas the issue.
他跟着雷恩去见那些佣兵,只是走了一圈,说了几句无关痛痒的话,就从数百人中揪出了戈尔曼。而且,戈尔曼被点名出来以后,也显得很慌张,几乎可以肯定这个人有问题。„Does not dare.”
“不敢。”Varokendiscoveredoneselfwere somewhat rude, bowsto apologizetoRennhastily.瓦罗根发现自己有些失态了,连忙向雷恩躬身致歉。
His whole lifemostis proudis the netinformationability, nowis actually infiltrated the interiorby the enemy, causes the massive loss, hitownfacesimplyruthlessly, for a whilementalityimbalance.
他这辈子最引以为傲的就是网罗情报的能力,现在却被敌人打入内部,造成巨大的损失,简直是狠狠打了自己的脸,一时心态失衡。Rennhas not cared, „Idiscovered the spy, was yourmatters, asked that whosepersonhewas.”雷恩并没有放在心上,“我找出了奸细,接下来就是你们的事了,问出他是谁的人。”After allthisis the Amelishand/subordinateinternalmatter, hedoes not wantto meddle.
毕竟这是艾蜜莉丝手下内部的事情,他不想插手。„Yes, Sir.”Varokentook awayGermann.
“是,大人。”瓦罗根带走了戈尔曼。
After the moment, hereturned the living room, reported: „Your highness, Lord Count, has asked.”Hiscomplexionwas somewhat strange, stopsto continue saying: „Germann'sbackmasterisDukeDans, are not related withMark.”
片刻后,他重新回到了客厅,报告道:“殿下,伯爵大人,已经问出来了。”他的脸色有些奇怪,停顿了一下才继续说道:“戈尔曼背后的主人是丹斯公爵,跟马尔克没有关系。”Thisanswermakeseveryonebe quite surprised.
这个答案让所有人都感到很意外。
The response of Dinklageis most intense, almostjumpsfrom the chair, „DukeDans? Varoken, thisis notcracking a joketime.”丁拉吉的反应最为激烈,差点从椅子上跳起来,“丹斯公爵?瓦罗根,这可不是开玩笑的时候。”Rennlooked atthisdevilwarlockone, Dinklage is also the Dansfamily'smember, moreoveris the biological son of DukeDans, butdoes not knowwhatreason, the father and sonquarrel, manyyears ago was eliminated the surname, pursuedCongatro.雷恩不禁看了这位恶魔术士一眼,丁拉吉也是丹斯家族的成员,而且是丹斯公爵的亲生儿子,只是不知什么原因,父子反目,多年前就被剥夺姓氏,驱逐出了康加特罗。„Ihave not cracked a joke.”Varokenkept a serious look, „Germannfollowed your highnessmanyyears, guessed correctlyfrommanytraces the status of your highness, actuallypretendednot to know the circumstances of the matter. Hehas been looking for the opportunityto sell a goodpricethisnewsfor these years, finallysold toDukeDans.”
“我没开玩笑。”瓦罗根的表情严肃,“戈尔曼跟随殿下多年,从许多蛛丝马迹猜到了殿下的身份,却装作并不知情。他这几年一直在找机会把这个消息卖个好价钱,最后卖给了丹斯公爵。”At this point, Varokenstretches outthreehand fingers, coldsound said: „For3000golden Shield, hebetrayedus. DukeDansgives back to the commitment, makingGermanncontinueto keepoursidetransmissionnews, after the matterbecomes, sealstohimtogether the knightlead(er).”
说到这里,瓦罗根伸出三根手指头,冷声道:“就为了三千金盾,他出卖了我们。丹斯公爵还给出承诺,让戈尔曼继续留在我们身边传递消息,事成以后,封给他一块骑士领。”„Greedyidiot!”
“贪婪的蠢货!”Dinklagecontemptuousscoldedmakes noise, „someunexpectedlypeoplebelieve that my father'scommitment, evenassigned/lifedid not have, but alsowanted the territory?”丁拉吉轻蔑的骂出声,“竟然有人相信我父亲的承诺,连命都没了,还想要领地?”Amelislooks the color of thinking, the analysissaid: „Germannsold toDukeDans the news, then, DukeDansalsodisclosed that toMark, gives the summationconditionagain, forcingMarkto draw back troops, kills two birds with one stone, not onlysolvedby the danger that Markeliminates, but alsoavoided the mutually woundedresult, was picked up a bargainbyus.”艾蜜莉丝面露思索之色,分析道:“戈尔曼把消息卖给了丹斯公爵,然后,丹斯公爵又透露给了马尔克,再给出求和条件,逼迫马尔克退兵,一举两得,不但解决了被马尔克消灭的危险,还避免了两败俱伤的结果,被我们捡了便宜。”„Slyold fogy......”Dinklageas ifremembered the past events, a depression of face.
“狡猾的老家伙……”丁拉吉似乎想起了往事,一脸的郁闷。Governformerprime minister who Varokenappearancelooking pensive, „DukeDanscanmakeso manyyears, the methodis wise, after wemountCongatro, certainlymustdeal withhim. Morse and Morse liangs respected family, ishisally, heis next toMarktoourthreats.”瓦罗根若有所思的样子,“丹斯公爵能做这么多年的御前首相,手段高明,我们登上康加特罗以后,肯定要跟他打交道。莫尔思大家族,也都是他的盟友,他对我们的威胁仅次于马尔克。”Helooked atDinklageone, „youare the son of DukeDans, withhimmost familiar, pleasebe when the time comes careful.”
他看了丁拉吉一眼,“你是丹斯公爵的儿子,跟他最熟悉,到时候请多上心。”Amelisalsocasts the vision.艾蜜莉丝也投去目光。Dinklageapparentlydoes not havemanyconfidence, is irrecusable, the nodsaid: „Iwill make contribution.”丁拉吉显然没有多少信心,却不能拒绝,点头道:“我会尽力的。”
The conferencecontinuedoneall day, finishedto the eveningfrom the morning, the orderhas issuedto produce, allare ready.
会议持续了一整天,从早晨到傍晚才结束,命令都已经发布下去产,一切准备就绪。Varoken made one prepare a sumptuousdinner, as the last timemobilization before set off.瓦罗根让人准备了一顿丰盛的晚餐,作为出发前的最后一次动员。BesidesRennandseveralgiant dragon, manyhigh-levelcaptain of commissionarmy corps, centaurchiefNahaqi, was invitedto participate.
除了雷恩和几头巨龙以外,佣兵团的多位高层队长,还有半人马酋长那哈齐,都被邀请参加。Amelisgave a spiritedspeechat the evening banquet, promised the brightfuturetoeveryone.艾蜜莉丝在晚宴上发表了一番激昂的演说,给大家许诺了光明的未来。
After dines, the peoplediverge, onlywaitsdawnonset off.
用餐过后,众人散去,只等天亮就出发。Rennenters the Amelisroomlater, seesherto sitbefore the table, looks at a Congatromapto be lost in thought. Thismapis very obsolete, does not know that was crossedmanyspread, the cornerrubs the yellowing, aboveis printed with the Drognborgfamily'sdragon's headcoat of arms.雷恩稍晚才进入艾蜜莉丝的房间,看到她坐在桌前,望着一张康加特罗的地图出神。这张地图十分老旧,也不知道被翻过多少遍了,边角都磨得泛黄,上面印有卓耿堡家族的龙头纹章。Under the crystallight, Amelisseemssomewhatexhausted, no longera moment agohigh-spiritednessatevening banquet.
水晶灯光之下,艾蜜莉丝显得有些疲惫,不复刚才在晚宴上的意气风发。„What's wrong?”Asking that Renncares about.
“怎么了?”雷恩关心的问道。Amelisas ifthendetected that the arrival of Renn, is on the rise, on the faceshows a smile, „is all right, butplannedso manyyearsplans, finallymuststart, Iam very anxious.”艾蜜莉丝仿佛这才察觉雷恩的到来,抬头起来,脸上露出一个笑容,“没事,只是谋划了这么多年的计划,终于要开始了,我很紧张。”Rennsitstoherside, is supportinghershoulder, comforts saying: „Hasme, Wizlandwizardmake a moveto support, youwill not be defeated. Ipromisedyou, even the worstresult, youat leastcanrecaptureto belong to the Drognborgfamily'sterritory.”雷恩坐到她身边,拥着她的肩头,安慰道:“有我在,还有威泽兰的巫师们出手支持,你不会失败。我向你保证,即使是最坏的结局,你至少能夺回属于卓耿堡家族的领地。”
The entireCongatrokingdomis divided assevendukedom, is ruledbysevenrespected families, after the Drognborgdynastywas overthrown, family'sterritoryalsobyMark the Lauberdillfamilyannexed.
整个康加特罗王国被划分为七个公国,由七个大家族统治,自从卓耿堡王朝被推翻以后,家族的领地也被马尔克的的劳伯迪尔家族吞并了。Markusurps the throne for 40years, does not have the attentiveoperation.马尔克篡位四十年,却没有用心经营。Oncebelonged to the Drognborgfamily'sterritory, stillhad the dragonbornfamily'straceeverywhere, getting the peoplenot to changeto the belief of god of Bahamutgooddragon.
曾经属于卓耿堡家族的领地,依然处处都有龙裔家族的痕迹,领民对善龙之神巴哈姆特的信仰也没改变。Withelapsing of previous generationperson, peopleforgotgraduallypast years„insaneking” the atrocity of King, the dragonbornfamilyturned into the legend, fromwas far, insteadproducedhappyyearning.
随着上一代人的逝去,人们渐渐忘记了当年“疯王”席瑞亚国王的暴行,龙裔家族变成传说,距离远了,反而产生了一种美好的向往。
More than 3000years of dominantfoundations, are not the shortdozensyearscancancel.
三千多年的统治基础,不是短短几十年就能抹去的。So long asAmelisrevealed that the status of dragonbornsuccessor, calls from a high place, showsownwiseandwell-meaning, definitelywill have a largecrowdto respond.艾蜜莉丝只要亮出龙裔传人的身份,登高一呼,表现出自己的英明与善意,必然会有大批人响应。Thisis the energy of Amelisduplicate/restorescountry'sis also.
这也是艾蜜莉丝复国的底气所在。Thatassociatedsource crystalmithrilore that the most important thing is, Rennsettles on Drognborgfamily'sterritory, recapturingDrognborgdukedomishispriority target.
最重要的是,雷恩看中的那座伴生源晶的秘银矿就在卓耿堡家族的领地之内,夺回卓耿堡公国是他的首要目标。Amelisnodsgently, in the eyestillhad an anxiety.艾蜜莉丝轻轻点头,眼里却仍有一丝忧虑。Renncontinuedto comfortseveral, is supportingherexquisitefigure, the warmfragrantsoft jadein the bosom, severalmonthshas not seennaturallysomewhatcould not bear, in the handdid not starthonestly.雷恩继续宽慰了几句,拥着她的玲珑身段,温香软玉在怀,几个月没见自然就有些忍不住了,手上开始不老实。Placed the past, the Amelisenthusiastic response, veryon own initiative.
放在以往,艾蜜莉丝都会热烈回应,非常主动。Tonight some faintresistances, seem likedo not have the moodhappylove, Rennalwaysto likeyoursentimentIhoping, will not force, thereforestopped the movement.
今晚却隐隐有些抗拒,似乎是没有心情欢爱,雷恩向来喜欢你情我愿,更不会强迫,于是停止了动作。Amelisreveals the apology, „Iwas a little tired, sorry.”艾蜜莉丝露出歉意,“我有点累了,抱歉。”„Good.”
“好。”Rennheldher, „thatyourestin the eveningwell.”Said that drew back, makingVarokengive itselfotherarrangedroom.雷恩抱了她一下,“那你晚上好好休息。”说完退了出去,让瓦罗根给自己另外安排房间。Next daybefore dawn, the mercenaries in manorwent into action.
次日天未亮,庄园里的佣兵们就行动起来了。According to the plan, more than 500unusualmercenariesunder the leadership of captain, divide the raidto go out of town, go to a Hittoknorthern partcovertwharf.
按照计划,五百多个超凡佣兵在队长们的带领下,分批次出城,前往海托克北部的一座隐蔽的码头。Rennrides a carriagewithAmelis.雷恩跟艾蜜莉丝同坐一辆马车。Afterpassing the nightrest, the Amelisfacial expressionwas better than last night, bursting with life, the whole bodylent the powerfulanddignifiedaura.
经过一夜休息,艾蜜莉丝的气色比昨晚好很多,神采奕奕,浑身散发出强大而又威严的气息。Shortly , the motorcadearrived insmall pier outside city.
不久后,车队抵达了城外的小码头。
The wharfconstructsin a remoteforest, looksfrom the distant placeandcommon, is onlyonesection in longcoldcoastline, butwill enter the forestto discover a covertcamp, the defensewill be stern, will proliferate the centaurguardeverywhere.
码头建在一片偏僻的森林中,从远处看并不起眼,只是漫长寒冷海岸线中的一截,但是进入森林就会发现一座隐蔽的营地,防卫森严,到处遍布半人马守卫。
The motorcadedrivesestablishes the camponcliff, a track that excavatesfrom the cliff, extended the wharf under cliff.
车队驶入建立在悬崖上的营地,一条从峭壁上开凿出来的小道,延伸到了崖下的码头。Thiswharfhiddenin the fjord, on the narrowwater surfaceis anchoringtwosteamsteamboats.
这个码头隐藏在峡湾之中,狭窄的水面上停泊着两艘蒸汽轮船。At this moment, teams of centaursare going on board.
此刻,一队队的半人马正在登船。
The steamsteamboatwasAmelispays the bigpriceto purchasefrom the empire, usuallygaveVaroken, foroperatingseaborne trade.
蒸汽轮船是艾蜜莉丝花了大代价从帝国采购来的,平时交给瓦罗根,用于经营海运贸易。

轮船上下分成五层,空间足够宽阔,整艘船能够运载超过五百个半人马,总共十艘船,足以把整支半人马军队以及佣兵团,一次性渡过千岛海,登陆康加特罗。
After the moment, twosteamboatspacked the centaur, drove out of the fjordcautiously.
片刻后,两艘轮船装满了半人马,小心翼翼驶出了峡湾。
The frontsteamboatjustleft, twoshipscome.
前面的轮船刚离开,又有两艘船进来。Sorepeatedlyfivetimes, allcentaurs and commissionarmy corpsembark, onlyleaves behind a squadmercenaryto defendthiscovertwharf.
如此反复五次,所有的半人马和佣兵团都上了船,只留下一小队佣兵守着这个隐蔽的码头。RennleadsBorchto go on board, lives the Amelisnext door.雷恩带着博尔奇登船,住在艾蜜莉丝的隔壁。Not onlyon the shiphas the army, in the cabinalsohaslarge quantities ofgrain and fodder and equipment, supportthisarmyfightsinCongatrosufficiently for over onemonth, in the combat plan, after the steamsteamboat the persondelivers toCongatro, but alsointwoplaceswill travel, transportsmoregrain and fodderresources.
船上不但有军队,船舱中还有大批的粮草和装备,足以支撑这支军队在康加特罗战斗一个月以上,作战计划中,蒸汽轮船把人送到康加特罗以后,还会在两地往返,运送更多的粮草资源。
After tensteamboatshad/left the fjord, composed a fleetin the sea.
十艘轮船出了峡湾以后,在海上组成了一支船队。Oneachshiphas the mercenaryas the camouflage, so long as the centaurdoes not make an appearance, has not distinguishedwith a normalmarine transportationfleet.
每艘船上都有佣兵作为伪装,只要半人马不露面,跟一支正常的海运船队并没有区别。

船队沿着海岸线朝着东北方向航行,海风越来越冷。Whenfleetacrossthousandislandseas, close toCongatrotime, the cold windblowson the face of personjust likeice bladescutting, if the average persondoes not have the maintaining warmthmethod, standsin the deck, so long asa halfhourwill freeze to death.
当船队穿过千岛海,接近康加特罗的时候,寒风吹在人的脸上犹如冰刀切割,普通人如果没有保暖手段,站在甲板上只要半小时就会被冻死。„Thisghostweather......”
“这鬼天气……”„Can Congatroreallybe occupied by the person?”Rennwhisperedat heart, at least20degrees below zero.
“康加特罗真的能住人吗?”雷恩心里嘀咕,至少零下二十度。Hewelcomed the sea breezeto look out into the distance, byhispresentvision, has been ableto seeinindistinctly the frontsea levelpresented the land.
他迎着海风极目远眺,以他现在的视力,已经能隐约看到前面的海平面上出现了陆地。„Sure, under the Congatrolifecanresist the cold.”Amelisstandsin the side, shewore the long skirt of thickening, underis the maintaining warmthtrousers, on the neckalsogathers round the preciousfur/superficial knowledge, the slenderbodyseemsa littleextremely fat.
“当然可以,康加特罗人生下就能抗寒。”艾蜜莉丝站在身边,她穿上了加厚的长裙,底下是保暖长裤,脖子上还围着珍贵皮毛,窈窕的身躯显得有点臃肿。Rennlooked atheroneeyes.雷恩看了她一眼。For these daysonshiptwo peoplenotintimate, Amelisabsolutelydid not have the thoughts, all dayis discussing the combat planwith the subordinate.
这几天在船上两人都没有亲热,艾蜜莉丝完全没有心思,整天都在跟属下商议作战计划。First of fightisto capturedragoncrystalisland.
战斗的第一步是夺取龙晶岛。Thisis located insouthernmost the Congatrokingdomlong and narrownational territoryislands, the offshoreonlydozensli (0.5 km), overwhelming majorityare the desert islands, in the island the residentare not many. Because the geographical positionis important, blocked the Congatroliveliestriver bendexit|to speak, so long assends outinfewarmyguardingisland, cancontrol the seaborne trade of mostkingdom, acts bashful the economic lifeline.
这座位于康加特罗王国狭长国土最南端的岛屿,离岸仅有数十里,绝大部分是荒岛,岛上居民不多。只是因为地理位置过于重要,扼住了康加特罗最繁华的河湾出口,只要派出少量军队驻守岛上,就能控制住大半个王国的海运贸易,拿捏经济命脉。
The Drognborgdynastycannot certainlytoleratedragoncrystalislandto fall intobystander'shand, has firmly graspeditin the hand, onlyconfers rank and titletomostdirect descendantdragonbornmember.卓耿堡王朝当然不能容忍龙晶岛落入外人之手,一直将它牢牢掌握在手中,只册封给最嫡系的龙裔成员。Amelisnewly-borntime, shortly after the taking officedragoncrystalislandfeudal lordspassed away, thereforeis labeled asdragoncrystalislandPrincess.艾蜜莉丝刚出生的时候,上任龙晶岛领主去世不久,于是被封为龙晶岛公主。Recapturesdragoncrystalisland, not only can block the Congatrostrategic point, isannounces the return of Drognborgfamilyto the kingdom!
夺回龙晶岛,不但能扼住康加特罗的要害,同时也是对王国宣布卓耿堡家族的回归!Shortly, islandsappearin the frontsea level.
不久后,一座岛屿出现在前方的海面上。Amelisis staring atthistopographyprecipitousisland, the lookis complex, for a very long timehas not spoken, untillongexhaleswhite clouds, saidtoRenn: „Westart.”艾蜜莉丝凝望着这座地势险峻的岛,神色复杂,久久没有说话,直到长呼出一口白气,才对雷恩说道:“我们开始吧。”Rennnods, the right handputs outwarhammer, the left hand conducts the backto shine a bluesymbol.雷恩点了点头,右手拿出战锤,左手背上亮起一个淡蓝符号。portalopensin the fronttogether, hetakes the leadto clashimmediately.
一道传送门在面前打开,他立刻带头冲进去。
