Chapter 17 dry corpse 第17章干尸 Bang bang bang, the sound of gunfire buzz the cry, the rifle and flintlock interweave a piece, blooms the flower of bright blood, incarnadine everyone's eyes. 砰砰砰,枪声嗡鸣,步枪与火枪交织成一片,绽放出鲜艳的鲜血之花,染红了所有人的双眼。 Stands on a small hillside, by the telescope looks that the fight of not far away or slaughters, Sean state of mind is calm, does not have the tiny bit mighty waves. 站在一座小山坡上,透过单筒望远镜看着不远处的战斗或者说屠杀,肖恩心绪平静,没有一丝一毫的波澜。 The green field town/subdues big sweeping has been conducted in the fall for about a month, lost in this period, although has, but has the existence of firearms and half unusualness squad, not big to unacceptable situation. 绿野镇秋季大扫荡已经进行了将近一个月的时间,其间损失虽然有,但有着枪械与半支超凡者小队的存在,并没有大到让人无法接受的地步。 Sound of gunfire gradually breath, changed is sparse, this will also represent this fight soon to drop the curtain, finally will not have the slight deviation, but this will also be normal, after all a side will be well-trained, well-equipped, a side will be only one group of motley crew who are equipping stone Daomu the lance. 枪声渐息,变的稀疏起来,这也代表着这场战斗即将落下帷幕,结果没有丝毫的偏差,不过这也正常,毕竟一方训练有素,装备精良,一方只是一群装备着石刀木矛的乌合之众。 The flame ascends, cleans the battlefield, strings together one skewer the captive, the green field town/subdues soldier proficiently lit the fire hazard, commits to flames this small village. 火焰升腾,打扫完战场,将俘虏串成一串,绿野镇士兵熟练的点燃了火源,将这一座小村庄付之一炬。 This is not the first burnt down indigenous village is not last, before this indigenous village, the green field town/subdues soldier has burnt down four similar villages, naturally these villages are some small villages, the population generally in dozens people to about 100 people, in the village does not have the unusual strength. 这不是第一座被焚烧的土著村落也不会是最后一座,在这一座土著村落之前,绿野镇士兵已经焚毁了四座类似的村落,当然这些村落都是一些小村落,人数一般在几十人到一百人左右,村内也并不存在超凡力量。 The fight ended, returns to the temporary station, a small joyful banquet starts to begin with arrival of curtain of night. 战斗结束,返回临时驻地,一场小小的欢庆宴会随着夜幕的降临开始拉开序幕。 Bitter taste black beer to become Tong was delivered the table, is joined to is roasted by the flame roasts flows out the golden oil dripping the beast meat and flavor moderate vegetables soup and black bread, to the soldiers is good feast. 略带苦味的黑啤酒成桶的被送上餐桌,配上被火焰炙烤流出金色油滴的兽肉以及味道适中的蔬菜汤和黑面包,对士兵们来说是一顿不错的大餐。 Drinks wine to make music, the happy talks and laughters, in the camp were full of the joyful factor, naturally, besides the liquor water, food, the woman is also essential. 饮酒作乐,欢声笑语,营地之内充满了愉悦的因子,当然,除了酒水,食物之外,女人也是必不可少的。 In the process of sweeping, the maximum wealth of green field town/subdues harvest is the population of captive, these captives had been chosen, is the man and woman of young adults, after bringing, is the qualified slave, can quickly transform as the productive forces, did not die as for the old person and child during the fight is executed after the war, this sounded, although was somewhat cruel, but truly was one type after the treatment method of examination. 在扫荡的过程之中,绿野镇收获的最大一笔财富就是俘虏的人口,这些俘虏都是被挑选过的,都是青壮年的男人和女人,带回去之后就是合格的奴隶,能够迅速转化为生产力,至于老人和小孩不是死在了战斗之中就是战后被处决了,这听上去虽然有些残忍,但确实是一种经过检验的处理方法。 At the open country long duration battle, to the green field town/subdues soldier biggest difficulty not these can only be indigenous of motley crew, but is the bad environment. 在野外长期作战,对绿野镇士兵来说最大的困难并不是那些只能算是乌合之众的土著,而是恶劣的环境。 The malaria, the poisonous insect, the beast of prey also has the following disease, these are the unignorable pressures, sometimes even drank unboiled water to cause the serious diarrhea and death. 瘴气,毒虫,猛兽还有随之而来的疾病,这些都是不可忽视的压力,甚至有时候喝上一口生水都有可能导致严重的腹泻以及死亡。 The shadow of death has followed the army of green field town/subdues, never far away from, but in such a case, psychologically healthy of soldiers is very important, but the liquor water and woman is a simple and effective method. 死亡的阴影一直伴随着绿野镇的军队,从未远离,而在这样的情况下,士兵们的心理健康是十分重要的,而酒水与女人是一种简单而又有效的手段。 Unlike the noise of outside, in the Lord tent/account is more peaceful, Sean, Enns, the fee/spent displays three people to divide primary and secondary and sits, careful is tasting the food on table. 与外面的喧嚣不同,主帐之内要安静许多,肖恩,蒙恩斯,费罗列三人分主次而坐,细细的品尝着餐桌上的食物。 Finished eating in the plate finally together the steak, put down in the hand the knife and fork, sipped the next wine, dried the lip, Sean looks up outside a Lord tent/account, but looks at Sean's movement, hoodwinked Enns and fee/spent displays two people also to put down the knife and fork in hand rapidly. 吃完盘中最后一块肉排,放下手中刀叉,抿下一口葡萄酒,擦干嘴唇,肖恩抬起头看了一眼主帐之外,而看着肖恩的动作,蒙恩斯与费罗列两人也迅速放下了手中的刀叉。 „Fee displays, the situation of army how?” “费罗列,军队的情况怎么样？” „Feudal lord Sir, the troops'current situation is good, the casualties are not big, moreover continuous fighting series of successes, morale available, only anxious is the logistics pressure somewhat is big, the captive needs to transport, provides also needs to supplement.” “领主大人,军队目前的情况还好,伤亡不大,而且连战连捷,士气可用,唯一忧虑的就是后勤压力有些大,俘虏需要转运,给养也需要补充。” Then, the fee/spent will display looks at Sean, is waiting for Sean's instruction. 说完,费罗列将目光投向了肖恩,等待着肖恩的吩咐。 „Un, these things you process on the line, then we will soon sweep clear the wild putting green, there situation how?” “嗯,这些事情你处理就行,接下来我们即将清扫野果岭,那里的情况怎么样？” „Feudal lord Sir, according to our information wild putting green indigenous situation and Tamm river basin has the difference greatly, only then a tribe exists, but the special details also need to further investigate.” “领主大人,根据我们的情报野果岭土著的情况与塔姆河流域大有不同,只有一个部落存在,不过具体情况还需要进一步探查。” The vision that saying, the fee/spent is displaying casts a sidelong glance Enns, because the environment is bad, is complicated, therefore the scout in army is only responsible for the investigation of surrounding, the internal situation gave the Enns unusualness squad hand/subordinate. 说着,费罗列的目光瞟了一眼蒙恩斯,由于环境恶劣,情况复杂,所以军队方面的探子只负责外围的探查,内部情况则交给了蒙恩斯手下的超凡者小队。 Detected vision that the fee/spent displays, Enns not hesitant, says directly: 察觉到费罗列的目光,蒙恩斯也没有犹豫,直接开口说道: „Feudal lord Sir, the guard squad has sprinkled, is led by Krom, insufficiently currently does not have the information to pass on, should also require some time.” “领主大人,近卫小队已经洒了出去,由克罗姆带队,不够目前还没有情报传回来,应该还需要一些时间。” At this point, Enns also feels somewhat reluctantly, after all the guard squad is not the specialized scout, has the natural flaw in investigation information, but well in them is unusualness, in such a case, the survival capability compared with on ordinary scout many. 说到这里,蒙恩斯也感觉有些无奈,毕竟近卫小队不是专业的探子,在探查情报这一块有着天然的缺陷,不过好在他们都是超凡者,在这样的情况下,生存能力要比普通探子强上许多。 Although is unsatisfied about the reply of Enns, Sean has not said anything, after all this is not his mistake, naturally, has in heart deep place Sean the idea of establishing a staff intelligence squad. 虽然对蒙恩斯的回答并不满意,肖恩也并没有说什么,毕竟这并不是他的错,当然,在内心深处肖恩已经有了建立一支专业情报小队的想法。 „Since this, that slows down the rate of progression of army temporarily, waits for the collection of information.” “既然这样,那就暂时放缓部队的前进速度,等待情报的收集。” „Yes, feudal lord Sir.” “是,领主大人。” Slightly will finish, the atmosphere in Lord tent/account was more relaxed. 小会结束,主帐之内的氛围轻松了许多。 Midnight, the banquet had ended, besides personnel who being responsible for admonishing, most soldiers have fallen into the deep sleep. 半夜,宴会已经结束,除了负责警戒的人员之外,大部分士兵已经陷入到了沉睡之中。 The moonlight is gloomy, is densely wooded, casts a shadow of piece by piece distortion, occasionally has the breeze to blow, disturbs the branches and leaves, makes the strange sound, quite infiltrates the person. 月色暗淡,林木密布,投下一片片扭曲的阴影,偶尔有微风吹过,扰动枝叶,发出怪异的声响,颇为渗人。 In the morning, washes, went out of the Lord tent/account, Sean discovers immediately was not right. 清晨,洗漱完毕,走出主帐,肖恩立刻发现了不对。 „What's all this about?” “这是怎么回事？” Looked that in the tread was arranged row of ten dry corpses, Sean's look is a little cold. 看着地面上被排列成一排的十具干尸,肖恩的神色有点冷。 The atmosphere sinks to congeal, the pressed letting person has not gasped for breath, in such a case, was Mongolia Enns Station. 气氛沉凝,压的让人喘不过气来,在这样的情况下,还是蒙恩斯站了出来。 „Feudal lord Sir, these ten corpses are this morning discovered that the status had confirmed that eight people are the militiamen, two were the professional soldier, the death time are about midnight, the cause of death was the whole body blood dies by the suck dry.” “领主大人,这十具尸体是今早发现的,身份已经确认,有八人是民兵,有两人是职业士兵,死亡时间大约是半夜,死因是全身血液被吸干而死。” Is listening to the words of Enns, Sean maintains total silence, the squatting lower part of the body silently, inspected a body of dead carefully. 听着蒙恩斯的话,肖恩不发一语,默默的蹲下身,仔细检查了一下死者的身躯。 After the inspection, Sean discovered that the death shapes of these ten people are very similar, is the body is withered, the facial features are auspicious, as if dies in the fragrant fond dream is the same, extra wound of whole body not besides the two eyelets of nape of the neck place, but all these all made Sean think of three characters, the vampire, but made Sean feel what doubts was these blood hole some are too small. 经过检查,肖恩发现这十个人的死状十分相似,全都是身躯干瘪,面容祥和,仿佛死在香甜的美梦中一样,全身上下除了脖颈处的两个小孔之外并没有额外的伤口,而这一切的一切都不禁让肖恩想到了三个字,吸血鬼,只不过让肖恩感到疑惑的是这些血孔有些太小了。 Set out, swept a peripheral people dignified and disturbed expression, Sean opened the mouth to ask: 起身,扫了一眼周边众人凝重而又忐忑的表情,肖恩开口问道: „Can determine the murderer?” “能确定凶手吗？” The tone is light, does not have any fluctuating. 语气淡淡的,没有任何的起伏。 „Last night feudal lord Sir, is unascertainable temporarily, the soldier who stood on guard has not discovered any exceptionally, but we have not discovered any valuable clue in ten people of dead places, even the footprint does not have.” “领主大人,暂时还不能确定,昨夜警戒的士兵并没有发现任何异常,而我们在十人死去的地方也没有发现任何有价值的线索,甚至连脚印都没有。” Listens words that the fee/spent displays, Sean look is invariable, only has a pair of deep blue pupil obviously profound. 听完费罗列的话,肖恩神色不变,唯有一双湛蓝色的瞳孔更显深邃。 „In other words the murderer passed through the warning lines of our camp with ease, killed our ten soldiers in the silence, then hasn't left behind the traces to move out slightly? Even our he or they are the person are the beast do not know, right?” “也就是说凶手轻轻松松穿越了我们营地的警戒线,在悄无声息之中杀死了我们十名士兵,然后没留下丝毫蛛丝马迹全身而退了？甚至我们连他或者他们是人是兽都不知道,是吗？” Speaking of finally, Sean's intonation raised suddenly once. 说到最后,肖恩的声调猛然拔高了一度。 „Yes, yes, feudal lord Sir.” “是,是的,领主大人。” In this moment, everyone felt the turbulent anger under Sean tranquil facial features. 在这一刻,所有人都感受到了肖恩平静面容之下的汹涌怒火。 ( This chapter ends) (本章完)
