Ten days, walked fully for ten days, the army of king went out of the swampy ground to see White City finally. 十天,整整走了十天,国王的军队终于走出了沼泽地望见了白城。 According to the plan, actually should seven days they be able to arrive, but arrived at the halfway king to fall ill, therefore delayed for several days. 按照计划,其实应该七天他们就能到了,但走到半路国王病倒了,于是耽搁了好几天。 Can you imagine make a 70-year- old man travel day and night the forced march? 你能想象让一个70岁的老头子日夜兼程地强行军吗？ This was the result. 这就是结果了。 The news feeds in Lion Capital, the members in royal family even thought that he possibly did not have the means to live. 消息传回狮王都,王室的成员们甚至觉得他可能没办法活着回去了。 „Why do I need to live? I only needed to live am taking White City......” Baird VI to say with the hoarse sound. “我为什么需要活着回去？我只需要活着拿下白城就可以了……”拜尔德六世用沙哑的声音如此说。 You must understand a ruler, sought livehood not to old time that type? The length of life is he is unable to defeat only. For this, he has been able to disregard. In fact, when he makes the moment of decision, already not road turn head. Works out the contract to obtain the eternal life with the blood group, once were revealed that he will lose all. 你得明白一个统治者,到了年老的时候那种求生欲不是吗？生命的长度是他唯一无法战胜的。为了这个,他已经可以不管不顾了。事实上,当他做出决定的一刻起,就已经没有回头的路了。跟血族订立契约获得永恒的生命,一旦被揭穿,他将失去所有。 In any event, they finally, what although arrives is White City north. 无论如何,他们总算是到了,虽然到的是白城的北面。 Spreads out the map, you will discover that White City does not belong to the easily defensible place. Because it on plain. Except for north. 摊开地图,你会发现白城绝不属于易守难攻的地方。因为它本身就在平原上。除了北面。 Yes, north. There has a turbulent river, after crossing river, is the sandbank of mud. So-called harbor, from White City, only then three kilometers distance, almost it can be said that same place city, completely under the control of Eirene. 是的,北面。那里有一条波涛汹涌的大河,过了河之后是泥泞的河滩。所谓的港口,距离白城只有三公里的距离,几乎可以说是同一座城市,完全在依琳的控制下。 Controlled this harbor, means that controlled river bank almost all ships, grasped all places that suit landing. Remaining places, even if can find the ships to cross the river, after landing , the cavalry cannot start for a short time. 控制了这个港口,就意味着控制了河上几乎所有船只,同时也掌握了所有适合登陆的地点。剩下的地方,就算能找到船只渡河,登陆后骑兵也一时半会上不了马。 Unlike other races, human species, the battle efficiency difference between individual and individual is not big. Most mainly defeats the secret of opponent, is the numerical advantage. When quantity as big as certain extent, the morale became most important. Attacks the opposite party morale the method, creates killing to the opposite party, fiercely is better. Creates most effective measure of killing, is the cavalry charges. 跟其他种族不同,人类这个物种,个体与个体之间的战斗力差别并没有那么大。最主要击败对手的秘诀,是数量优势。而当数量大到一定程度,士气就成了重中之重。打击对方士气的方法,是给对方造成杀伤,越厉害越好。造成杀伤的最有效手段,则是骑兵冲锋。 The cavalries are unable to start, was equal to that the army lost the most effective attack ability. Let alone king Baird VI most is proud, is his golden armor knight group. 骑兵无法上马,等于部队失去了最有效的进攻能力。更何况国王拜尔德六世最引以为傲的,就是他的金甲骑士团。 „Therefore, actually he does want to do?” Grasps the monocular telescope, Eirene is standing on the river Fangcheng wall is looking into opposite military compound from afar, puzzled of face. “所以,他究竟是想干什么？”握着单目望远镜,依琳站在河防城墙上远远地眺望着对面的军营,一脸的不解。 „Perhaps he has any unexpected strategy also perhaps.” Nearby Count Gregory pulled out two noses, said in a soft voice: „In any event, he had once defeated Baird VI of Allen kingdom in the disadvantage. We should be careful quite well.” “也许他有什么意想不到的策略也说不定。”一旁的格鲁格鲁伯爵抽了两下鼻子,轻声说道:“无论如何,他可是曾在劣势中击败过艾伦王国的拜尔德六世。我们还是应该小心比较好。” „Is carefully inevitable. Even now, his military are still more than us. Reason that we have not had a low opinion of the enemy. But I really do not understand intention that he does that.” “小心是必然的。即便是现在,他的兵力也比我们多。我们没有轻敌的理由。可我真的不明白他这么做的用意。” „Miss Eirene.” Abby Roberts walks from outside, takes the book saying: „Had investigated thoroughly, the king on troops, only have 20,000 now on hand probably. However, he also has other armies to catch up, it is expected that within several days can, have more than 30,000 people finally. The military that in addition regional aristocrats support, can have 60,000. However, the army of support is finding the excuse now, seems not possible to be quick.” “依琳小姐。”艾比罗伯斯从外面走来,拿着本子道:“已经查清楚了,国王陛下现在手头上的人马,大概只有两万。不过,他还有其他部队在赶过来,预计几天之内就能到,最终会有三万多人。加上各地贵族支援的兵力,能有六万。不过,支援的军队现在都在找借口,似乎不可能很快到。” „Us?” “我们这边呢？” „Our here words, we, Gregory Family Clan, Fielder family and Caspar family supports altogether currently have 15,000 people including 1000 troops as well as other families that armies. Count Caspar also brings Unit 2000 on the road, should today or tomorrow can. The army that in addition other families have not arrived, we can have 19,000 people finally.” “我们这边的话,包括我们自己、格鲁格鲁家族、菲尔德家族、卡斯帕家族支援的一千人马以及其他家族的部队总共现在有一万五千人。卡斯帕伯爵还带着2000部队在路上,应该今天或者明天就能到。再加上其他家族还没抵达的部队,我们最终能有一万九千人。” Slightly silent, Eirene asked: „Does Count Caspar determine to be able within the today and tomorrow? He hauled very much. Reached an agreement full power supported, finally also only put out 1/3 military.” 稍稍沉默了一下,依琳问:“卡斯帕伯爵确定能今明两天之内到吗？他原本可是很拖拉的。说好了全力支持,结果也只拿出三分之一的兵力。” „Determination.” In Abby Roberts turned turned the hand the book saying: „In fact, he is worrying to catch up toward here, has accelerated to march.” “确定。”艾比罗伯斯翻了翻手里的本子道:“事实上,他正在着急地往这里赶,已经加速行军了。” „Will he be so positive?” Eirene a little did not believe own ear. “他会这么积极？”依琳都有点不相信自己的耳朵了。 Sighed lightly, Count Gregory looked to the opposite shore, said in a soft voice: „This feared that must thank our kings. For serveral days his military transferred everyone to look, Count Caspar also had the suspicion probably.” 淡淡叹了口气,格鲁格鲁伯爵望向对岸,轻声说:“这怕是要感谢我们的国王陛下了。这些天他的兵力调动所有人都在看着,大概卡斯帕伯爵也产生怀疑了吧。” „Let us hope so.”, Eirene then said: „All, now is our best attack times is right? 15,000 pairs 20,000 . Moreover the opposite party just passed through the swamp, the commodity is also insufficient. Waits, will turn into 19,000 pairs 60,000.” “但愿如此吧。”顿了顿,依琳接着说道:“所有,现在就是我们最佳的进攻时机对吗？一万五对两万,而且对方刚刚走过沼泽,物资也不足。等下去,就会变成一万九对六万。” „Right.” “对。” „I understood, ordering everyone to step up preparation, I must go to battle personally!” “我明白了,下令所有人加紧准备,我要亲自出战！” „Yes!” “是！” ...... …… At this moment, Horus is doing an inspection in the army. 此时此刻,霍尔斯正在部队中巡查。 Rows of soldier platoons become the neat formation, is holding the respective flag. Under the sunlight, it may be said that is the weapons illustrious. 一排排的士兵排成整齐的队列,举着各自的旗帜。阳光下,可谓是兵甲赫赫。 Horus along the most front of square formation walks, while admonished to the soldier. 霍尔斯沿着方阵的最前排一边走,一边给士兵训话。 „Sticks out chest to me! Puts out your spirits! Shakes the hand of sword, must be powerful! The step, must strengthen! Even if you make it believable the woman, the enemy will not have any benevolence to you! Making it believable is not good the child! Wait, child?” “都给我挺起胸膛！拿出你们的精神来！握剑的手,必须有力！步伐,必须坚定！就算你装得像个娘们一样,敌人也不会对你有任何的仁慈！装得像个孩子一样也不行！等等,孩子？” Horus gawked, in the future will draw back two steps, lowers the head, saw that in the team has a child of wear armor. It is not an entire team, puts on the child of armor! 霍尔斯愣了一下,往后退了两步,低下头,看到队伍之中有一个穿着盔甲的孩子。哦不,是一整条的队伍,都是穿着盔甲的孩子！ „Transmitting orders officer! Who special puts these brats? You think that what the military compound is? Did the brain kick to the donkey?” “传令官！谁特么把这些兔崽子放进来的？你以为军营是什么？脑子给驴踢了吗？” The transmitting orders officer ran in a hurry from the distant place. 传令官从远处匆匆跑来。 The surrounding soldier is laughing secretly. 周围的士兵都在窃笑。 And a child begins supinely said plausibly: „We are not the children, we are the super weak silver moon knight group members!” 其中一个孩子仰起头振振有词地说道:“我们不是孩子,我们是超级无力的银月骑士团成员！” „Is invincible fierce! It is not incapable!” Another child reminded. “是无敌厉害！不是无力！”另一个孩子提醒道。 „, Super invincible fierce silver moon knight group member.” “哦,超级无敌厉害的银月骑士团成员。” „These are the members who under Baron Gray the knight rolls.” The transmitting orders officer who rushes to hurriedly said hastily. “这些是格雷男爵麾下骑士团的成员。”匆忙赶到的传令官连忙说道。 Begins slowly supinely, Horus saw that style is unusual, brings the silver moon flag of explosion design. The corner of the eye pulled out fiercely. 缓缓仰起头,霍尔斯看到了那面画风奇特的,带着爆炸图案的银月旗帜。眼角猛地抽了一下。 ...... …… „Miss Eirene, I thought that we should discuss well. I know that Baron Gray is powerful, his strength I have personally seen. However said from another angle, his other aspects, we were also obvious to all. You know that what I do refer to?” Horus puts out a hand to gesticulate. “依琳小姐,我觉得我们应该好好谈一谈。我知道格雷男爵非常强悍,他的实力我亲眼见过。但是从另一个角度讲,他的其他方面,我们也是有目共睹的。您知道我指的是什么吧？”霍尔斯伸手比划着。 Eirene sits, in oneself represent the command on high backed chair to nod gently: „I know.” 依琳坐在自己代表统帅的高背椅上轻轻点了点头:“我知道。” 15 members who in the small tent, besides Horus, Eirene, Abby Roberts, Gray, was drawn the silver moon knight who rolls by Horus. Not, 16, Jones also. 小小的营帐里,除了霍尔斯,依琳,还有艾比罗伯斯,格雷,还有被霍尔斯拉过来的银月骑士团的十五个成员。哦不,十六个,琼斯也在。 „You know well.”, Horus then said: „Gray, is a very outstanding knight, was welcome by everyone, including me. However you must acknowledge, he does not suit as a commander, even the military officers are not good. He only suits is riding his horse, tramples the person. Gray, I said that you don't mind?” “您知道就好。”顿了顿,霍尔斯接着说道:“格雷,是个非常优秀的骑士,也受所有人欢迎,包括我。但是您得承认,他并不适合作为一名统帅,甚至将领都不行。他只适合骑着他那匹马,踹人。格雷,我这么说你不介意吧？” „No, how can? Thank you praise.” “不,怎么会呢？谢谢你的夸奖。” „You thought that I am praising you?” “你觉得我在夸奖你？” „Isn't?” “难道不是？” „You heard.” Then, Horus will hold the sword hilt to draw back in the future one step, will stand one side. “您听到了。”说完,霍尔斯扶着剑柄往后退了一步,站到一旁。 Eirene holds the forehead reluctantly, thinks, said: „Gray, you lead them, do their guardians know?” 依琳无奈地扶着额头,想了想,说道:“格雷,你把他们带过来,他们的家长知道吗？” Has not waited for Gray to speak, a child has raised the hand, then pulls out a paper to hand in the hand of Eirene. 还没等格雷说话,其中一个孩子已经举起了手,然后掏出一张纸递到依琳的手中。 Children pull out similar slip of paper, delivers in the Eirene hand. 紧接着,一个又一个的孩子掏出类似的纸片,递送到依琳手中。 Naturally, except for Jones. 当然,除了琼斯。 „My father said that can follow Baron Gray, is my honor. We are willing to break through enemy lines for Baron Gray. If Baron Gray gives loyalty to you, we are also willing to do anything for you.” “我爸说了,能跟着格雷男爵,是我的光荣。我们愿意为格雷男爵冲锋陷阵。如果格雷男爵效忠你的话,我们也愿意为你做点什么。” „My father also said.” “我爸也是这么说的。” „My mother said that followed Baron Gray is very safe.” “我妈说跟着格雷男爵就很安全了。” „My mother also said that which went to war was unsafe, but followed Baron Gray to affirm the security.” “我妈也说打仗了哪都不安全,但跟着格雷男爵肯定安全。” The children chirp are saying. 孩子们叽叽喳喳地说着。 Looks letters of consent in own hand, Eirene was speechless. 看着自己手中的一张张同意书,依琳都无语了。 „Actually I proposed signs the guardian letter of consent time, is hopes that they stop your stupid behavior.” black cat whispered low voice: „Finally they agreed unexpectedly completely......” “其实我提议签家长同意书的时候,就是希望他们制止一下你愚蠢的行为的。”黑猫小声嘀咕道:“结果他们居然全部同意了……” „Follows my insufficient safety?” Gray asked low voice. “难道跟着我不够安全吗？”格雷小声问道。 „I know that follows you to suffice to be safe, but must understand, others not necessarily think.” “我知道跟着你够安全,但得明白,别人不一定这么想。” „Isn't the security how more important than others?” “难道安全不比别人怎么想重要？” „Good, you won. I cannot convince you, making Eirene come to say with you.” Helpless black cat sighed. “好吧,你赢了。我说服不了你,让依琳来跟你说吧。”黑猫无奈叹了口气。 „Stops!” Eirene extended a hand to stop the children chirp the discussion, put on one pack of papers in hand nearby small tea table, then leaned the face to say to Horus: „You first belt/bring go out them, I must chat with Gray alone.” “停！”依琳伸出一只手来制止了孩子们叽叽喳喳的讨论,将手中的一叠纸放到一旁的小茶几上,然后侧过脸对霍尔斯说道:“你把他们都先带出去,我要跟格雷单独谈谈。” „Yes!” “是！” Horus drives away an important goods child to enter in the accounts outside, just before leaving time, they are also looking at Gray longingly. 霍尔斯驱赶着一大帮的孩子出了帐外,临走的时候,他们还一个个恋恋不舍地望着格雷。 Abby Roberts also closed the book to follow to go out off-balance. 艾比罗伯斯也合上本子跟着走出了帐外。 In the tent was only left over Gray and Eirene. 营帐里只剩下格雷和依琳了。 Gray calmly looks at Eirene. 格雷静静地看着依琳。 „Gray.” Eirene said in a soft voice: „I acknowledged that I took lightly you from the beginning. When you asked how I can award you formal knight title, I do not want to award you actually. I thought that you do not know fool who where braves. Therefore I said that wants you to win 50 opponents. That is actually a not possible mission...... good, is only not possible to others. I have not thought that you achieved.” “格雷。”依琳轻声说道:“我承认我一开始看轻你了。当你问我怎么才可以授予你正式骑士头衔的时候,我其实一点都不想授予你。我觉得你就是不知道哪里冒出来的傻子。所以我说要你打赢五十个对手。那其实是一个不可能的任务……好吧,只是对其他人来说不可能。我没想到你做到了。” „I can also hit.” Gray emphasized. “我还可以打更多。”格雷强调道。 „I believe.”, Eirene was smiling, then said: „I also acknowledged, I can arrive at today, you at least have half of merit. If were not you won the competition, I was impossible to earn the support of Count Caspar, even if were the surface. If were not you saved Uncle Gregory, I affirm that now had been coerced by Edward III. However, the road is very far. This war, is very important to me. I cannot lose, do you understand my meaning?” “我相信。”顿了顿,依琳微笑着,接着说道:“我也承认,我能走到今天,你至少有一半的功劳。如果不是你赢得比赛,我不可能获得卡斯帕伯爵的支持,哪怕是表面的。如果不是你救了格鲁格鲁叔叔,我现在肯定已经被爱德华三世裹挟了。但是,路还很远。这场战争,对我很重要。我不能输,你懂我的意思吗？” Gray nods layer on layer/heavily: „I understand.” 格雷重重地点了点头:“我懂。” Eirene flips the supercilious look, helpless sighed: „You said each time, but I always thought that you do not understand. How did you give my feeling...... to say? You are not silly, is not silly, you are very intelligent, but actually came from another world to be the same probably. You do not have the general knowledge to this world. If I said the wound to you, then I first apologized to you here.” 依琳翻了翻白眼,无奈叹了口气:“每次你都说懂,但我总觉得你根本就不懂。你给我的感觉……怎么说呢？你不傻,一点都不傻,你很聪明,但却好像来自另一个世界一样。你对这个世界毫无常识。如果我这么说伤到你的话,那么我在这里先向你道歉。” „Does not need to apologize, you said is the truth.” “不用道歉,你说的都是实话。” Helpless Eirene smiles, said: „Your this is stronger than most people, you are very confident, is willing to help others specially. Your personal character is praiseworthy. I have not seen any knight to achieve your appearance. Perhaps if some of you so many little general knowledge, you can be on again entire continent the greatest knight.” 依琳无奈笑了笑,道:“你这点比绝大多数的人都强,你特别坦然,也特别愿意帮助别人。你的品德令人钦佩。我没见过任何一位骑士能做到你这个样子。如果你再有那么多一点点的常识,也许你会是整个大陆上最伟大的骑士。” „Perhaps were many that little general knowledge, the personal character did not have is so praiseworthy?” Hid black cat in Gray armor whispered low voice. “也许多了那么一点点常识,品德就没那么令人钦佩了呢？”躲在格雷盔甲里的黑猫小声嘀咕了一句。 „Why?” Gray asked. “为什么？”格雷问。 „Do not ask, you later understood.” black cat replied unemotionally. “别问,你以后就明白了。”黑猫面无表情地答道。 Slightly silent, Eirene then said: „These children......” 稍稍沉默了一下,依琳接着开口说道:“那些孩子……” „They are my knight group member.” “他们是我的骑士团成员。” „I know, I want to request them to leave.” “我知道,我想要求他们离开。” „Why?” “为什么？” „Going to war is not so simple, does not play the knight who you think to play. This actually you should understand me are more right. Goes to war some people injured, some people will die. I do not want to make them be injured.” “打仗不是你想的那么简单的,不是玩骑士游戏。这其实你应该比我更懂才对。打仗会有人受伤,会有人死。我不想让他们受伤。” „They will not be injured.” “他们不会受伤。” „They have not gotten up the experience of battlefield, what I need is the experienced soldier.” “他们没有上过战场的经验,我需要的是有经验的战士。” „But, who went to the battlefield from the beginning? I lead them to come am hope that they gain in some experiences.” “可,谁一开始就上过战场呢？我带他们来就是希望他们积累一些经验。” „Isn't this concept? Gray, they are the children, what I need is to the war helpful person. I want to win the war.” “这不是一个概念好吗？格雷,他们还是孩子,我需要的是对战局有帮助的人。我想赢得战争。” „I can help you win the war.” Gray wants not to think that replied. “我能帮你赢得战争。”格雷想也不想地答道。 On this day...... cannot chat. 这天……聊不下去了。 Helpless Eirene holds the forehead, some little time raised the head saying: „Gray, I know that you care about the knight to vow specially, then, I request you based on our common pledges now, them, returns to their parental hands. Like this Ok?” 依琳无奈扶着额头,好一会才抬头道:“格雷,我知道你特别在乎骑士誓言,那么,现在我基于我们共同的誓约要求你,把他们一个个,都送回到他们父母手中。这样可以吗？”
