Rolandknew that had the large military forcesnext morning, the standing patrol of Lightninghas discovered the team of thisslowvanguardclose.罗兰得知有大队人马接近是在第二天上午,闪电的例行巡逻发现了这支缓慢前行的队伍。„What, more than 1000people?”His isn't startled, 50people of envoygroups of reaching an agreement?
“什么,1000多人?”他怔了怔,不是说好的50人使者团吗?„Yeahgu,”Macyadds, „rides a horseare not many, only hassix!”
“嗯咕,”麦茜补充道,“不过骑马的并不多,只有六个!”„Person of thatwalk...... Do theyput onwithweapon?”
“那步行的人……他们穿着和武器呢?”„Ordinary, most peoplearmordoes not have, is the ordinarylinenclothes,”Lightningsaid,„weapon is also various, butthere areseveral hundredpersonbacks a shortlance.”
“普普通通吧,大部分人盔甲都没有,就是普通的麻布衣服,”闪电说,“武器也是各种各样,不过有几百人身后背了把短矛。”Disappointing is suchtarget, the common peopleor the serfs who commandeers? The Rolanddoubtsthink,thistimesimplyin view of the specialized training of militia, to put it bluntlyhas not beenis responsible foris the Knightarmytransports the rear services unit of grain and fodderandmilitary baggage, sometimes can also act as the cannon fodder, consumesarrows of enemy.
这么差劲的装备水平,难道都是强征的平民或农奴?罗兰疑惑地想,这个时代根本没有针对民兵的专门训练,说白了就是负责为骑士部队搬运粮草和辎重的后勤队,有时还能充作炮灰,消耗敌军的箭矢。IfTimothywantsto solve itselfwithmilitary force, impossibledid not understandthatfight that betweenLongsong StrongholdandBorder Townerupt. Duke Ryanallied armies more than 200Knightcannottouchtosmall townside, not to mentionthiscrowdbymilitia that the both legsran. clear(ly)knows that combat process and result must marchtosmall town, can only say that theyhad confidence the breakthroughcrowdedvolleyline.
如果提费科想要用武力解决自己,不可能不去了解长歌要塞与边陲镇之间爆发的那场战斗。莱恩公爵联军200余名骑士都没能摸到小镇的边,更别提这群靠双腿奔跑的民兵了。明知道战斗过程和结果还要向小镇进军,只能说他们有把握突破密集的排枪线。Rolandhas thought of the Church'spill.罗兰不禁想到了教会的药丸。Beforehehad guessedChurchwhilesupportingoneselfandGarcia, whetherTimothyoneandsupported. Ifthesepeoplehave the pill, situationwill becomecompletelywill be different.
之前他就猜测过教会在支持自己和嘉西亚的同时,是否连带提费科一并支持了。如果这些人都拥有药丸,情况则会变得完全不一样。Itcanletspeedclosehorses that humanrunsin a short time, simultaneouslydoes not dread the grief, in other words, the volleylinewill face more than 1000 " Knight " impact, so long asthere isonepersonto crash in the team, will bring the casualtiestoFirst Army.
它能在短时间内让人类奔跑的速度接近马匹,同时不畏惧伤痛,也就是说,排枪线将会面对1000多个「骑士」的冲击,只要有一人冲进队伍里,都会给第一军带来伤亡。Was goodbecause ofpresentFirst Armyalsono longeris the twomonths ago armies.
好在现在第一军也不再是两个多月前的军队了。Althoughrevolving riflereplaced100, but the firepowerdelivers the densityto go far beyond the Flintlockarmy, especially after giving the archerprovides the specialammunition loader, enters the enemy within 300metersrangeto encounter the continuousattack.

不过罗兰想到了另一个问题。„Does the person who younotethesewalkshaveto wearGod Punishment Stone?”
“你们注意到那些步行的人有佩戴神罚之石吗?”„Ido not dareto leavetoonearly,”Lightninghas referred toMacy, „after thisfellowturns into the hawk, sawclearlycompared withmemany.”
“我不敢离得太近,”闪电指了指麦茜,“这家伙变成鹰后比我看得清楚多了。”
The lattershakes the head saying that „had not seen, perhapshidin the clothesgu!”
后者摇头道,“没有看到,或许是藏在衣服里了咕!”„This......”Rolandponders over saying that „youbringNightingaleto flyagainone. Onlycarries a person to have about tenmetersflight altitude? YouflyalongScarlet Water River, Macyis responsible for the frontsecurity, meets the words of passingshipsto transfer the fascinatedfog-shapedconditionadvancebyNightingale.”HelookstoNightingale, „after gaining contact with an enemy, whetheryoucarryGod Punishment Stoneinsomeremote viewerlarge unitpeople, do not attackarbitrarily.”
“这样的话……”罗兰思忖道,“你再带着夜莺飞一趟吧。只背一个人能有十米左右的飞行高度吧?你就沿着赤水河飞行,麦茜负责前方警戒,遇到过往船只的话由夜莺转入迷雾状态前进。”他望向夜莺,“接近敌人后,你在远距离观察大部队是否有人携带神罚之石,千万不要擅自攻击。”„Yes.”NightingaleandLightningsaidwith one voice.
“是。”夜莺和闪电齐声道。
In threepeopleprepareset off, Rolandstopped by calling outthem, „remembers, safety firstimportant, protects itselfgood.”
就在三人准备出发时,罗兰叫住了她们,“记住,安全第一重要,保护好自己。”„Does not have the issue,”Nightingaleblinked, says with a smile.
“没问题,”夜莺眨了眨眼睛,笑道。
After witchesleaves, hesomewhatis faintly restless, finally did those wordslook like the verticalflag?女巫们离开后,他隐隐有些不安,最后那句话是不是太像立旗了?Moreoverhehad also realizedoneselfworks the big mistake, that was too weakto the informationcontrol of Longsong Stronghold--, ifwere notPetrovsends out the messenger, situation when oneself will possibly meet the enemyto project onentrancediscovers. Oncefalls into the street fighting, losesfire superiorityFirst Armyto be very difficultto save the aspect.
而且他也意识到了自己工作中的重大失误,那就是对长歌要塞的情报掌控太弱了——如果不是培罗派出信使,自己很可能会遇上敌人打到门口时才发现的情况。一旦陷入巷战,失去火力优势的第一军很难挽回局面。Oneself were too youngandwas too simple, Rolandthinks, thispointmustonpost-warmaking up, moreover is not just the information, sidePetrov should also placeownmanpower.
自己还太年轻、太简单了,罗兰想,这一环必须在战后弥补上,而且不单是情报,培罗身边也应该安插自己的人手。
The princesitsbefore the tabledisturbed, the Chinese mealdoes not have the moodto eat, flies intoat the back ofNightingalelike the Elf indoor untilLightning, herelaxed.
王子心绪不宁地坐在桌前,中餐也没有心情吃,直到闪电背着夜莺如精灵般飞入室内,他才松了口气。Macyflaps the wingsto fallon the Nightingaleshoulder, highsound said: „Does not havegu, does not havegu!”麦茜拍着翅膀落在夜莺肩头,高声道:“没有咕,没有咕!”„Doesn't haveGod Punishment Stone?”
“没有神罚之石?”„Does not havemajority,”Nightingaletakes offHood, golden hairsprinkles, „Ihave observedfrom the teamend, except fortenpeople of team leader, in the militiateamonly hasthreeblackto be in all directions empty.”
“大部分都没有,”夜莺摘下兜帽,一头金发洒落而出,“我从队伍前端一直观察到末尾,除了领队的十人,民兵队里只有三四处黑色空洞。”„Is very good,”in the Rolandhearthas formed a preliminarycourse of actionimmediately, „were youhungry? Firstgoes to the dining room, wantsto eatanythingto tell the chef.”
“很好,”罗兰心中立刻形成了一个初步的作战方案,“你们都饿了吧?先去餐厅,想吃什么跟厨师说。”„Honey Barbecuegu!”Macylaunches the wingto hold up the headto say.
“蜜汁烤肉咕!”麦茜展开翅膀昂首道。*******************
*******************Outsidesmall towneastern end.小镇东头外。Van'erglancedby a main roadbusyStonemason and worker, „whatthing are theyconstructing?”凡纳瞟了眼大道两旁忙碌的石匠和工人,“他们到底在建什么东西?”
No. several hundredpersondigs outseveralbig holeson the groundfirst, thenbuilt the brick wallin the pit, hethinks that thesewalltwowill connect, for the impedimentpath, has not thought that gathered round the pitto buildunexpectedly.
几百号人先是在地上挖出好几个大坑,接着又在坑边垒起了砖墙,他原以为这些墙两头会连接起来,用于阻隔道路,没想到竟是围着坑砌的。„Lets him do what he pleases, Ionlyknow that someenemiescanpunch,”Joparrives at the punmetals mountingfixedly, whilesaidexcitedly.
“管他呢,我只知道又有敌人可以揍了,”柚皮一边将炮架固定到位,一边兴奋地说道。Indeedso, Van'erthinks. Since previoustimedefeats the Dukeallied armies, His Highness the Princegaveartillerygroupeachmemberto issue a coppersystemsymbolpersonally...... It is not right, is the medal. The medalhasto symbolize the Longsong Strongholdtall walldesigndirectly, the backis carving the reign title and success, manufacturesveryfinely, enviedto go bad that group of people of flintlockteam.
的确如此,凡纳想。自从上次击败公爵联军后,王子殿下亲手给炮组每位成员都颁发了一枚铜制徽记……不对,是勋章。勋章正面有象征长歌要塞的高墙图案,背面刻着年号和战绩,制作得十分精美,把火枪队的那帮人羡慕坏了。Moreoverbesidesthishonor, everybodytorisingfirst-level, nowVan'eriscannonteamCaptain, is governingtencannongroups. ButBrotherRodney, Cat's ClawandJop, thenpromotesfor the team leader, threepeoplewere adjusted the recently establishedgroup, taught how theseenlistingnew peopleoperatecannon.
而且除了这份荣誉外,大家都向上升了一级,如今凡纳已是火炮队队长,掌管着十个火炮小组。而罗德尼兄弟、猫爪和柚皮,则晋升为组长,其中三人被调去了新成立的小组,教导那些入伍新人如何操作火炮。Whatis most exciting, His Highness the Princehas fulfilledowncommitment, Van'ereastsmall town, the Impassable Mountain Rangeunder footdividedland, althoughat present is also onlywoods, but the groundhas set up a stele, symbolizedthisplaceright of useto behim.
最令人振奋的是,王子殿下兑现了自己的承诺,凡纳在小镇东侧,绝境山脉脚下分到了一块土地,虽然目前还只是一片树林,但地上已经立起了一块石碑,象征此地的使用权已属于他。Whenknew when has the enemywantsto invadesmall town, First Armyimmediatelyboilinggets up, allpeopleare ready to fight, hopes that canperform the meritinthisfight.
所以当得知有敌人想要入侵小镇时,第一军顿时沸腾起来,所有人都摩拳擦掌,希望能在这次战斗中立下功绩。Whenarrivesto the dusk, finishedday of drillingVan'erwiping the perspiration on forehead, bysittingmakes the reston the punmetals mountingslightly. Entireoneheinspects the recruitineachartillerygroupsin the afternoonwhetherhasaccording to the rules and regulationsexecutionopen firestep, the throatshoutedis aboutto belch smoke.
待到黄昏降临,结束了一天演练的凡纳擦了擦额头上的汗,靠坐在炮架上稍作休息。整整一下午他都在各个炮组间检查新兵是否有按规章执行开炮步骤,嗓子喊得都快冒烟了。„Drinks water,”Jophands over a leather bag.
“喝口水吧,”柚皮递过来一个皮囊。„Thanks,”Van'ertwists offcover, tosses down.
“谢谢,”凡纳拧开盖子,一饮而尽。„Ithink that Iknow the thing that theymustconstructwasanything,” the formerturned upwards the corners of the mouth, happilysaid.
“我想我知道他们要建的东西是什么了,”前者翘起嘴角,得意的说。„Right?”Hegives back to the opposite party the leather bag. At this time the brick wallhas builttohalfperson of high, encircled a hexagon the earth pitapproximately. Howevereachwallis takeoffing30-40centimetersposition, kept a long and narrowcross joint, a littlelooks like the window, butappearedslightlynarrow. „It is not the house.”
“是吗?”他将皮囊还给对方。这时砖墙已砌至半人高,将土坑大致围成一个六边形。不过每面墙在离地三四十公分的位置,都留了一道狭长的横缝,有点像窗口,不过显得略窄了点。“不会是房子吧。”„Said that is the housealsoright, IjustaskedStonemason,”Jopnods, „hetoldmethisis the thing that His Highness the Princewantsto come out, so long as the flintlockteamhid, inthispartlyburiedin the undergroundhouseopens fire, did not have the extra worries. Howeverithas a uniquename, your highnesscalledit the bunker.”
“说是房子也没错,我刚去问了一位石匠,”柚皮点点头,“他告诉我这是王子殿下想出来的东西,只要火枪队躲在这个半埋于地下的房子里开火,就没有后顾之忧了。不过它有个独特的名字,殿下称它为地堡。”
