„Western Asia, command Melanseus the information about Crotone, comprehensive that very you collect, does very well!” The Davos hear, said. “亚西,关于克罗托内的统帅梅兰修斯的情报,你收集的很全面,做得很好！”戴弗斯听完,称赞道。 „Mainly is because he was too famous in Crotone, our people one to the harbor, can inquire that everywhere...... Asistes said about his deeds” truthfully. “主要是因为他在克罗托内太有名了,我们的人一到港口,到处都能打听到关于他的事迹……”亚西斯特斯如实说道。 Davos nods: „Can see this Melanseus is a proud person. In such a a war that relates to the city-state life and death, why must send him, when the army does command?” 戴弗斯点点头:“看得出这个梅兰修斯是一个骄傲的人。在这样一场关系到城邦生死存亡的大战,为什么要派他当大军统帅呢？” Asistes replied: „Possibly is because Melanseus has participated in the fight has not been defeated. Also he went to war fiercely, liked the hasty attacks, Crotone also wants certainly to end and fight between Thurii earlier, moreover they also sent old, conduct steady Timala to be the adjutant, believes that can make Melanseus steadier......” 亚西斯特斯答道:“可能是因为梅兰修斯参加过的战斗还从没有失败过吧。再说他打仗勇猛,喜欢快速进攻,克罗托内一定也希望早点解决与图里伊之间的战斗,而且他们也派了年龄大、行事稳重的提马拉斯做副官,相信能让梅兰修斯稳重些……” „Un...... you analyze reasonable!” Davos is pondering, asked: „What characteristics does Crotone citizen soldier battle?” “嗯……你分析的有道理！”戴弗斯思考着,又问道:“克罗托内公民兵作战有什么特点？” „The Crotone citizen craves in the physical training, had/left many famous athletes, in each four big games always has the Crotone athlete to win the championship time, especially has had the advantage in the wrestling, boxing and discus these projects. Therefore several city-state citizens responded, their citizen military quantity in the combat is big, attack is fierce, movement agile......” “克罗托内的公民热衷于体育锻炼,出了很多有名的运动员,每一次的四大运动会中总有克罗托内的运动员夺冠,尤其在摔跤、拳击、铁饼这几个项目一直有优势。因此好几个城邦的公民反应,在作战中他们的公民兵力量大、进攻勇猛、动作敏捷……” Davos is stroking gently the chin: „In other words their individual battle efficiencies are very strong, then group? Do they regularly conduct the military training?” 戴弗斯摩挲着下巴:“也就是说他们的个人战斗力很强,那么团体呢？他们经常进行军事训练吗？” Asistes smiled: „Sir, is not every city-state frequent the training like Amendolara . Moreover the intensity of training is so big. The time of Crotonians flower in training ground the time of flower on arena are much less than!” 亚西斯特斯笑了:“大人,不是每一个城邦都像阿门多拉腊这样频繁的训练,而且训练的强度还那么大。克罗托内人花在训练场上的时间比花在竞技场上的时间少得多！” „It seems like you are discontented with our trainings.” Davos also smiled. “看来你是对我们的训练不满。”戴弗斯也笑了。 „How can, I most like training! Especially football!” Asistes defends oneself immediately. “怎么会呢,我最喜欢训练了！尤其是橄榄球！”亚西斯特斯立刻为自己辩护。 „Isn't football the movement?!” Davos continues to be in hot pursuit. “橄榄球难道不是运动？！”戴弗斯继续紧追不放。 After laughter, Asistes asked: „Sir, Crotone and Thurii have the war, can affect us?” 一阵笑声之后,亚西斯特斯问道:“大人,克罗托内与图里伊发生战争,会不会影响到我们？” „If wants not to affect, that is impossible!” Davos sighed: „A small and weak neighbor always compares a new powerful neighbor to be much safer. By the critical moment, Amendolara could not say that can only draw Thurii. Stupid Thurii completely does the foolish matter, it seems like attacked the plan of Lucania to postpone...... yeah, was really the human affairs is difficult to predict!” “要想不影响,那是不可能的！”戴弗斯叹了口气:“一个弱小的邻居总比一个新的强大邻居要安全得多。到了关键时刻,阿门多拉腊说不得只能去拉图里伊一把。愚蠢的图里伊尽干蠢事,看来进攻卢卡尼亚的计划又要推迟了……哎,真是世事难料！” .............................. ………………………… Burkes rushes to Amendolara, to Davos request reinforcements. 布尔科斯赶到阿门多拉腊,向戴弗斯请求援军。 On the council parliament, the senior statesmen argued intensely. Generally speaking, old citizen senior statesman for example: Cornelius, Raphias wait/etc. did not approve to send out the reinforcements, they think: Thurii attracts the Crotone army is they brings upon oneself, let alone Amendolara and Thurii in name are the unions, in fact has been at the pledge condition, Amendolara does not need the neighbor, for looks for trouble for oneself repeatedly offends powerful city-state . Moreover the army that Crotone sends out looks very powerful, even if Thurii unites Amendolara, can repel the Crotone possibility is still minimum. 在元老院议会上,元老们争论激烈。总的来说,老公民元老如:科尔内鲁斯、拉斐亚斯等不赞成派出援军,他们认为:图里伊引来克罗托内大军是他们自找的,何况阿门多拉腊与图里伊名义上是同盟,实际上已处于断盟状态,阿门多拉腊没必要为了一个频频给自己找麻烦的邻居去得罪一个强大的城邦,而且克罗托内派出的军队看起来十分强大,图里伊即使联合阿门多拉腊,能打退克罗托内的可能性也极小。 Kapus, Hielos and other new citizen senior statesmen think: At present the Crotone potential is big, Amendolara should watch changes quietly, according to the situation makes the decision again. 卡普斯、希洛斯等新公民元老则认为:目前克罗托内势大,阿门多拉腊应静观其变,根据形势变化再做决定。 But Alexius, Antonios and other new citizen senior statesmen have a different point of view, they felt: Must protect Thurii, to guarantee the Amendolara peripheral environment security. The Thurii city tall wall is thick, Amendolara can definitely not need to go to battle, assists Thurii to defend a city in the city on the line. So long as stalls the attack of Crotone, perhaps was less than one month, Crotone can only draw back troops, after all over ten thousand soldier's daily food consumptions were not a small number. 而阿莱克西斯、安东尼奥斯等新公民元老另有看法,他们觉得:必须要保护图里伊,以保证阿门多拉腊周边环境的安全。图里伊城高墙厚,阿门多拉腊完全可以不用出战,在城内协助图里伊守城就行。只要挡住克罗托内的进攻,不到一个月,克罗托内恐怕就只能退兵了,毕竟上万名士兵每天的粮食消耗就不是个小数目。 The speech of Alexius and Antonios also called to contain, Epiphanes was the loudness without any scruples said: „Our rather neighbor is small and weak Thurii, is not willing to be powerful Crotone, that will make us day and night anxious, only if Amendolara joins the Crotone union, but wants?” 阿莱克西斯、安东尼奥斯的说话还叫含蓄,埃皮忒尼斯是毫无顾忌的大声说道:“我们宁愿邻居是弱小的图里伊,不愿是强大的克罗托内,那会让我们日夜不安,除非阿门多拉腊加入克罗托内的同盟,但诸位愿意吗？” If this saying makes Thurii envoy Burkes hear, it is estimated that ashamed difficult to bear. But this time Burkes was arranged in the council side hall, waits for the final decision of conference. 这话要是让图里伊使者布尔科斯听到,估计会羞愧难当。但此时的布尔克斯被安排在元老院的旁厅,等候会议的最后决定。 The Epiphanes words touched the senior statesmen present, but everyone discussed is so long, the final decision must do by Davos. 埃皮忒尼斯的话触动了在座的元老们,但大家讨论了这么久,最后的决定还是要由戴弗斯来做。 Davos observes the situation the people, look grave saying: „The situation analysis clearly, I have not needed to relate in detail a moment ago very again. What I want to say was we and Thurii signed the treaty of alliance, this was under the Spiritual God gaze, took an oath the signed sacred treaty by god! Before, we ridiculed Thurii to be perfidious, when now a bigger danger raids, can we achieve to stick to the commitment?!” 戴弗斯环视众人,神色庄重的说道:“刚才诸位都已经将情况分析得十分清楚,我就不必再细说了。我想说的是我们与图里伊是签订了同盟条约的,这是在神灵注视下,以神名起誓所签订的神圣条约！之前,我们嘲笑图里伊背信弃义,现在当更大的危险袭来的时候,我们能不能做到坚守承诺呢？！” Davos stops, sees people some shamefacedly, some ponders, enhances the volume to say again: „Our natural energy! We must show to Magna Graecia all city-state, as ancient city-state that has the long history, Amendolara, regardless of will stick to the commitment under any difficult difficult position, maintains glory and tradition of Hercules, Theseus and Ag the sulfur present and other ancient times heroes inheriting!” 戴弗斯停顿一下,见众人有的羞愧、有的沉思,再次提高音量说道:“我们当然能！我们要向大希腊所有城邦证明,作为一个拥有悠久历史的古老城邦,阿门多拉腊无论在任何艰难困境下都会坚守承诺,维护从赫拉克勒斯、忒修斯、阿格硫斯等远古英雄传承下来的荣耀与传统！” When Davos found Burkes, announced the decision of council to him: „Amendolara decided to comply with the beforehand treaty of alliance, sends out the reinforcements.” 当戴弗斯找到布尔科斯,向他宣布元老院的决定:“阿门多拉腊决定将遵从之前的盟约,派出援军。” Burkes is moved to tears. 布尔科斯热泪盈眶。 ........................... ……………………… Because north Krimisa local river flooding, and there is the swamp and a shallow seas and tidelands, the Crotone army marching speed reduced speed, spent daytime time, they arrived in Roscianum, this once after Sybaris was destroyed, had once attached to the city of Crotone union, similarly has not made the resistance, instead in the Kaesong gate, welcomed Melanseus enters a city. 由于克里米萨以北地区河水泛滥,且有沼泽、滩涂,克罗托内的军队行军速度减慢,花了一个白天的时间,他们抵达了卡斯特隆,这座曾经在绪巴里斯被毁灭后、就曾依附过克罗托内同盟的城市,同样未做抵抗,反而大开城门,将梅兰修斯迎进了城内。 In the Roscianum city, he saw Thurii envoy and Taranto who envoy here wait. 在卡斯特隆城内,他见到了在此等候的图里伊使者与塔兰图姆的使者。 Facing the Thurii messenger's entreaty, he does not even have the patience to listen, impatient saying: „The Crotone saber has drawn out the sheath, does not see the blood not to take back.” 面对图里伊使者的哀求,他甚至都没有耐心听完,就不耐烦的说道:“克罗托内的军刀已经拔出了鞘,不见血是绝不会收回的。” Regarding the Taranto envoy, Melanseus expressed slightly several points respect, but he asked back: „If city-state violated the agreement, meanwhile killed the Taranto envoy, how your will Taranto do?! Compensates some properties to receive in exchange the dignity that Taranto loses merely?!” 对于塔兰图姆的使者,梅兰修斯稍微表示出几分尊重,但他反问道:“如果一个城邦违反了协议,同时还杀了塔兰图姆的使者,你们塔兰图姆会怎么做？！仅仅赔偿一些财物就能换回塔兰图姆所失去的尊严吗？！” The Taranto envoy is at a loss for words for a while. 塔兰图姆使者一时语塞。 Melanseus disdains visits him, facial expression firm saying: „Therefore Thurii will certainly be punished!” 梅兰修斯不屑的看着他,神情坚定的说道:“所以图里伊一定会受到惩处！” At nightfall, this Taranto general prepares to sleep, guard in a hurry incoming telegram: „General, outside has two people to see you, said the important intelligence about Thurii to with you...... the transaction.” 当入夜时分,这位塔兰图姆的将军准备就寝,卫兵匆匆来报:“将军,外面有两个人想要见你,说有关于图里伊的重要情报要跟你……交易。” About the Thurii important intelligence?! Melanseus came the interest: „Takes to bring in quickly!” 关于图里伊的重要情报？！梅兰修斯来了兴趣:“快带进来！” Person who two sailors dress up under detaining of guard, shrinking enters the Melanseus bedroom. 两个水手打扮的人在卫兵的看押下,畏缩的走进梅兰修斯的卧房。 „Said that has any important intelligence to trade with me likely.” A Melanseus hand is supporting the head, lies on one's side on the bed, disdained is taking a look at two people: „If is really valuable, I will consider your requests.” “说吧,有什么重要情报象跟我交易。”梅兰修斯一只手撑着头,侧卧在床上,不屑的打量着两人:“如果真的是非常有价值,我会考虑你们的请求。” Two people looked at each other one, one of them sets firm resolve, said low voice: „Honored general, I am the Thurii freeman......” 两人对视了一眼,其中一人下定决心,小声说道:“尊贵的将军,我是图里伊的自由民……” With the words of that sailor, the Melanseus look is all the more bright, he turns over/stands up to sit up unexpectedly, a face excited...... 随着那名水手的话语,梅兰修斯的眼神益发明亮起来,他竟翻身坐起,一脸的兴奋…… .............................. ………………………… Although Davos complies to send out the reinforcements, actually without convenes the army immediately, after all is Thurii seeks help, if Amendolara runs to aid immediately hurriedly, the world will only smile his Davos to be weak. 戴弗斯虽然答应派出援军,却没有立刻就召集部队出发,毕竟是图里伊求助,阿门多拉腊如果立刻就急匆匆跑去援助,世人只会笑他戴弗斯幼稚。 He first complies, to stand firm the Thurii morale of troops and popular sentiment, letting the Thurii people to inspire the fighting spirit and a Crotone war, but he wants first wait/etc to look: First, to observe fight of both sides, understands the Crotone army ; Second, the reinforcements only then, when Thurii most needs appear, the casualties that can reduce the Amendolara soldier, obtain the gratitude of Thurii people, simultaneously increases defeats the Crotone opportunity. In any case Amendolara and Thurii are distanced are not far, walk also only then half-day distance. 他先答应下来,是为了稳住图里伊的军心、民心,让图里伊民众能鼓舞起斗志与克罗托内一战,而他则想先等等看:一是为了观察双方的战斗情况,了解克罗托内军队;二是援军只有在图里伊最需要的时候出现,才能减少阿门多拉腊士兵的伤亡,获得图里伊民众的感激,同时增加击败克罗托内的机会。反正阿门多拉腊与图里伊相距并不远,步行也只有半天路程。 The response of Amendolara makes Nianses relax temporarily, his in the heart is full of the gratitude in this time to Amendolara, had regret to the initial extreme approach. But after this news lets the Thurii people know, the low morale also starts to rise again, praised Amendolara. The news that however the south spreads unceasingly makes their hearts start to be clutched tightly: The Crotone army only used two days of times arrives in Roscianum, Krimisa and Roscianum has not made the resistance, to open the door to greet on own initiative, moreover expanded the Crotone army, what is more important was Crotone rejected the summation of Thurii and Taranto...... 阿门多拉腊的回应让涅昂西斯暂时松了口气,在此时他心中对阿门多拉腊是充满感激的,也对自己当初的偏激做法有了一丝悔意。而这个消息让图里伊民众知道后,低落的士气也开始回升,纷纷夸赞起阿门多拉腊。但是南方不断传来的消息让他们的心又开始被揪紧:克罗托内的大军仅用了两天的时候就抵达卡斯特隆,克里米萨、卡斯特隆都未做抵抗、主动开门迎接,而且还壮大了克罗托内的部队,更重要的是克罗托内拒绝了图里伊和塔兰图姆的求和…… The following bad news makes Nianses fearful and apprehensive, he cursed Crotone, Krimisa and Roscianum in the heart, while made Burkes go to Amendolara again, urged that their fast faction reinforcements, made the citizens reorganize the armament simultaneously, strengthened the defense, even started to consider that in the time of this crisis whether must execute the suggestion of Ansitanos, the mobilization freeman entered the war. 接踵而来的坏消息让涅昂西斯胆战心惊,他一边在心底诅咒克罗托内、克里米萨和卡斯特隆,一边让布尔克斯再去阿门多拉腊,催促他们速派援军,同时让公民们整顿军备,加强防御,甚至开始考虑在这种危机的时刻是否要施行安西塔诺斯的建议,动员自由民参战。 However to the next day, in being stationed in the Crotone armies outside Roscianum city has not continued to go forward, even they also sent people to recover the Thurii envoy , indicating that the matter of summation can discuss. 但是到了第二天,在驻扎在卡斯特隆城外的克罗托内大军没有继续前进,甚至他们还派人追回了图里伊的使者,表示求和的事情可以商量。 The news passes to Thurii, the generals and people's nervousness for a it loosen, is hoping the envoy brings back to the good information of truce. 消息传到图里伊,将军们和民众紧张的心情为之一松,然后就期盼着使者带回停战的好信息。 By afternoon, Melanseus did not accept the request of Crotone by the Thurii envoy, without the sincerity( is actually Melanseus asks a price too high, moreover refused to make concessions) is the reason, announced the breakdown of negotiation, pursued the Thurii envoy, the army that then immediately the order has been ready set out to Thurii. 到了下午,梅兰修斯以图里伊使者迟迟不答应克罗托内的要求,没有诚意(其实是梅兰修斯要价太高,而且拒不退让)为由,宣布谈判破裂,驱逐了图里伊使者,然后立刻命令早已做好准备的军队向图里伊进发。 When Nianses obtains the news, Crotone army already soldier near the Thurii south gate under. 当涅昂西斯得到消息时,克罗托内的大军已经兵临图里伊南城门下。
