The flamingroaring flameis burning, the golden redflameformsonefromclearlyto advance graduallyin the edge of eachfaceto the darkchromatic aberrationline.
熊熊烈焰在燃烧着,金红色的火光在每个人脸的边缘形成一条由明渐进到暗的色差线。Brandoraises head, sizes upthatto rideearnestlyinimmediatelyyounggarrisonlieutenant. Heseesto the square features is also earnest: The opposite partyare pursing the lips, silentlyis staring at itself, might askhimto submitwith the severevision.布兰多抬起头,认真地打量着那个骑在马上的年轻的警备副队长。他看到对方脸上同样认真:对方抿着嘴,一言不发地盯着自己,好像要用严厉的目光来叫他屈服似的。ButSophieorBrando, do not eatthisset-
可无论是苏菲还是布兰多,都不吃这一套-„Was IAnchoritemilitia, whenmay I askSirCaptain Bretton the Bucce'sgarrisoncan the crossarea of jurisdictionhissectionissue the orderto the allied forcewillfully? Sirmay I askyourappointing order?”
“我是安克泽的民兵,请问布雷森队长大人什么时候布契的警备队可以跨辖区对友军他部任意下达命令了?请问大人你的委任令呢?”As soon asheopens the mouthto makeBrettonbackKnightssimultaneouslyobstruct. BrandowasAouinefought21years of waringame, maybe clearer than theseyoung fellowsregarding the law of thiscountry.
他一开口就让布雷森背后的骑士们齐齐一窒。布兰多在游戏中为埃鲁因打了二十一年仗,对于这个国家的法令可比这些毛头小子清楚多了。Younggarrisonlieutenantthinks, repliedtenaciously: „Special period, special handling.”
年轻的警备副队长想了一下,固执地答道:“特殊时期,特殊处理。”Brandoknows that the opposite partycannot have a long faceto admit defeat, buthedoes not wantto haggle over, if not forBrettonlooks for troubleheto be disinclinedto haggle over the struggles of thesechildsamespiriton own initiative.布兰多知道对方拉不下脸来服软,不过他也不想计较,若不是布雷森主动找麻烦他才懒得去计较那些小孩子一样的意气之争。„Iam looking forFreyaandEssen, did youseethem?”Heraises headto ask.
“我在找芙雷娅和埃森,你们看到他们了么?”他仰头问道。Thisisat present the Brandomostissue of concern, all aroundthisseems like the fireshouldbein these youngsterpoints of garrison, buthecannot bearthinksmaliciouslyAouinefutureValkyriewon't be burntby a fire? SchoolmateBrettonyourcrimemaybe big.
这才是目前布兰多最关心的问题,四周这把火看起来应该是警备队的这些年轻人点上的,但他忍不住恶意地想埃鲁因未来的女武神不会就这么被一把火烧死了吧?那布雷森同学你的罪过可大了。Naturallythis is also thinksmerely.
当然这也仅仅是想想而已。But the Brandosuperficialtonelooked likebecameinBrettonbeing supercilious, buthereallycould not find outthisfamily fortuneto decline , moreover quitemixes not muchfellowto haveanythingto be proudnow. Hesuppresses the dislike in heart, opens the mouth saying: „Freya? militiathirdcompany? Is sheandyoudoingtogether?”
可布兰多轻描淡写的口气在布雷森看来就成了目中无人,不过他实在想不出这家道中落而且现在也混得不怎么样的家伙有什么好值得骄傲的。他强忍住心中的厌恶,才开口道:“芙雷娅?民兵第三分队?她和你在一起干什么?”Brandosaw that thisfellowhas the favorable impressiontoFreya, butopposite partythatbadtonemakeshimfeel that in the heartuncomfortable, provocationagain and again, as the saying goes the clay buddhaalsohasthreepoints of nature of the soil.布兰多看出这家伙对芙雷娅有好感,可对方那不善的口气还是让他感到心中一阵不爽,三番两次的挑衅,俗话说泥菩萨也有三分土性啊。„SirCaptain Bretton, Iandwhointogetherthisaremyfreedom. Doesas formehere, perhapsjust likeyou, do not think that Ido not knowyounowarewhatsituation-”hecannot bearrebut with sarcasm.
“布雷森队长大人,我与谁在一起这是我的自由。至于我在这里干什么,恐怕和你们一样,别以为我不知道你们现在是什么景况-”他忍不住反唇相讥道。„Boy, you are whatattitude!”Brettonyoungsterangrily rebukesbehindmorenumerous: „Onlymilitia, beforeyou, butNCO of garrison, has not corrected the stanceimmediately!”
“小子,你这是什么态度!”布雷森身后一个年轻人怒斥一声越众而出:“区区一个民兵,在你面前的可是警备队的士官,还不马上端正姿态!”Brandowas taughtis startled, raises headlooked at carefullyopposite partyoneeyesactuallycarefully.布兰多被训得一怔,倒是抬起头仔细端详了对方一眼。As iffollowinghisvision, frontrow of horse ridersimultaneouslyoneaustere, might givehimdemonstration of authority. Helooks that 15knivessamestand uprightyoungsteronhorseback, neatdark bluebottommilitary uniform, armouris neatandsparking, appears a style of crack forceactually.
仿佛顺着他的目光,前面一排骑手齐齐一肃,像是要给他一个下马威似的。他看着那十五个刀子一样挺立在马背上的年轻人,齐刷刷一身深蓝底军服,又甲胄整齐、闪亮,倒是显出一股劲旅的风范。Brandoalsoknows that theseyoungsterindeedhaveproudqualification- theyoriginallyfrom the Gland ElsonareavillageHuocheng Townmost outstandingyouth, afterstricttrainingandscreening, remainingat leastis close to‚Tier 1 Power Rating’.布兰多也知道这些年轻人倒的确有骄傲的本钱-他们本来就是来自戈兰—埃尔森地区乡间或城镇最优秀的青年,又经过严格的训练、筛选,剩下的最起码都接近‘第一级力量’。Holy Cathedral of Fire stipulated that a personwithin the bodyaveragestrengthin3 Ozto20 Oz, thencanbe calledhasTier 1 Power Rating. Butincludingentirecontinentinthislevel of force systemSwordsman of allwhite tiersteps, apprentice wizardandcompatible( primaryElementalist), as well asHoly ChurchChurch Knightaidesas well astheselow rankCleric.炎之圣殿规定,一个人体内平均力量在3Oz到20Oz之间,则可以被称为拥有第一级力量。而在这一级力量体系中包括了整个大陆上所有白位阶的剑士,巫师学徒与亲和者(初级元素使),以及圣堂教会骑士侍从以及那些低阶的神职人员。Holy Cathedral of Firetested the strengthpurities of variouspeoplewithamber stone, Brandohad also seenthatitemsingamein the past, wasusestoNPC there that. Theirplayershave the direct-viewingdata, has no needto examine-炎之圣殿用琥珀原石来测试各人的力量纯度,布兰多过去在游戏中也见过那种道具,不过在那儿那是给NPC用的。他们玩家有直观的数据,根本就用不着测验-Hehad readmaterial in a gamebefore. Knows that inentireVaunde, the Tier 1 Power Ratingownersurpasses60% of total population, this is becausehere the universallife span of humansurpasses for 160years. Butonce the rangereducesto17 to 19 years oldages,
他以前读过一本游戏中的资料。知道在整个沃恩德,第一级力量的拥有者超过总人口的百分之六十,这是因为在这里人类的普遍寿命超过一百六十年。但范围一旦缩小到17岁到19岁这个年龄段,
The similarproportionmustdropto20%is even lower. ButinAouine, besideschurch, the wizardschoolandKnightreserve, thisin20%most peoplehold public officein the garrison.
同样的比例就要下降到百分之二十甚至更低。而在埃鲁因,除了教会、巫师学院与骑士后备以外,这百分之二十中绝大多数人都在警备队供职。Alsoisthesepeople who heseesnow-
也就是他现在所看到的这些人-Indeed, canhavesuch a proudperson of high skillheadfacingmilitiatheseyoungster of generalgood and evil intermingled. Butmilitiaismilitia, BrandoisBrando, as a people of growthinfree worldheindeedwill be the differentnumber of thisworld, in the heartmayneverhave any dwarfidea.
的确,面对一般良莠不齐的民兵这些年轻人是可以有这样一种骄傲高人一头。可民兵是民兵,布兰多是布兰多,作为一个生长在自由世界的人他的确算是这个世界的一个异数,心中可从来不会有什么矮人一头的想法。Thisismodern people'sdeep-rootedunderstanding- heavenis biggest, fathersecond.
这是现代人根深蒂固的认识-老天最大,老子第二。Thereforehiscoldlyis staring atthisfellow, estimates the strength of opposite partysecretly. Do not look that the opponentsallhave extraordinary skill, after mayhaveThorn of Clear LightandRing of the Wind Empress, Brandowill confessfrom the data the opposite partywill not be bad.
因此他冷冷地盯着这个家伙,暗自估算对方的实力。别看对手个个身手不凡,可拥有湛光之刺和风后指环后布兰多自认从数据上自己一点也不会对方差。Let alonehealsohasLevel 130Veteran Warriorexperiencecheating app to open, takes care ofthesefellowsto comeoneto lie down. Naturallytheycanclose ingreatly, butBrandoguesses that Brettoncannot losethatface.
何况他还有一百三十级资深战士经验的外挂可开,保管这些家伙来一个躺一个。当然他们大可以一拥而上,不过布兰多猜布雷森丢不起那个脸。Whatmaymakehisaccidental/surprisedis, thatyounggarrisonlieutenantraised the handto prevent the one's ownteam member, the surfaceto sinkunexpectedlysuch as the waterto open the mouthto interrogate: „Howyouknow that wecome tohereto do, what do youalsoknow? Whotoldyou?”
可让他意外的是,那个年轻的警备副队长竟然举起手阻止了自己的队员,面沉如水地开口质问道:“你怎么知道我们来这里干什么,你还知道什么?谁告诉你的?”
The Brandoheartsaid that Iknow certainly.布兰多心说我当然知道。
The Bucce'sgarrisonwill appearhere, what are theirgoals? youngsterindeed is not familiarwith the eachdetail, so long asthinks that the historymoves towardinthis momentcardinal principle, canguess7788. Heknows the opposite partytonot to definitely counter-attackhere-, butcanhave a motive?布契的警备队怎么会出现在这里,他们的目的是什么?年轻人的确不是对每一个细节都了若指掌,但只要想一下历史在这一刻的大体走向,也能猜个七七八八。他知道对方在这里肯定不是为了反击-但总得有一个动机吧?So long asheclears off the mentalityone by one, mental associationthinksagain the Bucce'sgarrisonwas wantingto break throughat this timewith all one's heartRydenburg, was left overallissuesnot to explainpasses?
他只要逐一理清思路,再联想想到布契的警备队这个时候正一门心思想要突围去里登堡,那么剩下一切问题不都解释得通了?Thisandhistorical development in game, just likeremoves. Ingame, shouldMadara'sUndead Armycompleteon this dayregarding the blockade of Beldo Forest, the villagers who this afternoonorat noonearlier the Buccegarrisonandfled from calamityencountered the attack of undeadarmy, thatwastheyhistoricallyleavesRydenburgrecentonetime- theyalmostmustsucceed, the Cabasskeletonarmy who mayrush tomade all efforts of thesepoor mendrain.
这和游戏中的历史发展正如出一撤。在游戏中,应该正是这一天玛达拉的亡灵大军完成了对于贝勒多森林的封锁,今天下午或是中午早些时候布契警备队和逃难的村民遭到了亡灵军队的袭击,那是他们在历史上离里登堡最近的一次-他们几乎要成功了,可随后赶到的卡拜斯的骷髅大军让这些可怜人的一切努力都付诸东流。Butthis momentRydenburgaspecthad not even realized that itseast sideis encountering an invasion.
而此刻里登堡方面甚至还没有意识到它的东边正在遭遇一场入侵。Butthisis notaccidental, is not the luckdoes not standon the side of the Bucceperson. WhatbecausetheyfaceisinfirstWar of Black Rose the terrifying, but the efficientInsidolonarmyleft wing, is tied down by care of one's familyandcarries the Buccegarrisons of elderly and infirmin any event unable in the speedto be on parwiththishistoricallyfamousUndead Army.
但这并不是偶然,也不是运气不站在布契人一边。因为他们面对的是第一次黑玫瑰战争中恐怖而高效的因斯塔龙军左翼,无论如何拖家带口、携带着老弱妇孺的布契警备队都无法在速度上与这一支历史上著名的亡灵大军比肩。Let alonetheywere also bittenby the RothkoLicharmybefore thatstubbornly, thesetwopointswere doomedtheirfailureto become a tragedy.
更何况在那之前他们还被罗斯科的尸巫军队死死咬住,这两点注定了他们的失败成为一个悲剧。Brandolooks at the opposite party, ontheseyounghorse riderfacestravel-worn, after he could also guessthis time to be for the first time Mardenencountersto frustrate . ThisNovember Warveteranneedsfood and drugsnow, comforts the will of the people, is goodto conduct to break throughnexttime.布兰多看着对方,这些年轻的骑手脸上风尘仆仆,他也猜得出来这个时候应当是马登遭遇第一次挫败之后。这位十一月战争的老兵现在需要食物与药品,安抚人心,好进行下一次突围。But the opposite partywill not expecthimto welcomesecondquickly and thirdfailure, Mardenalso -and-a-half days of time, ‚one-eyed’ the Targusmain forcequickmeetingarmythreatens the border, at that time the tragedywill be repeated.
可对方绝不会料到他会很快迎来第二次、第三次失败,马登还有一天半时间,‘独眼’塔古斯的主力很快会大军压境,那个时候悲剧就会重演。Perhapsheescapesfinallyby luckassigns/life, butactuallylostallhonors that belongs tosoldier.
或许他最终侥幸逃得一命,但却输掉了所有属于军人的荣誉。Thinks that hereBrandoshakes the head, suddenlynomooddispute. Howeverheis not the person of rendering good for evil, disdainreturned to the sentence: „Alsowithasking? Didn't yousuchrunning overon a grand scale, writeon the face?”
想到这里布兰多摇了摇头,忽然没什么心情争执了。不过他也不是以德报怨的人,还是不屑地回了句:“还用问?你们这么大张旗鼓的跑过来,不是都写在脸上了么?”„You-”behindBrettononthatyoungsterforehead the blue veinjumps, if not for the formerblockshimto estimate that mustdraw out the swordto come and Brandoduel.
“你-”布雷森背后那个年轻人额头上青筋直跳,若不是前者拦着他估计要拔出剑来与布兰多决斗。„Youguessed right, sinceyouare not willingto takeas a militiaresponsibility, pleasemake way.”YounggarrisonCaptainopens the mouth saying: „Pleasedo not keep offoursay/way.”
“你猜对了,不过既然你不愿意负起作为一个民兵的责任,就请让开吧。”年轻的警备队长开口道:“请不要挡我们的道。”„Wait,”Brandocannot bear the ignitionbe big, did thisgoodsalsousemethod of goading somebody into action? Hetoward a roadcenterstation, the sinkingsoundasked backsimply: „Villagernowandyouin the same place?”
“等等,”布兰多忍不住有点火大,这货还用上激将法了?他干脆往路中央一站,沉声反问道:“村里人现在和你们在一起?”„Has nothing to dowithyou.”
“与你无关。”„How manypeopleinjured?”Brandoasked.
“伤了多少人?”布兰多问。
The Brettonfacial colorobstructs: „Has nothing to dowithyou.”布雷森面色一窒:“与你无关。”„Naturallyis relatedwithme, inthemhas the family member of myfriend, Freya, Little Phineas, EssenandMaxim. Theirfamily membersinthesepeople, FreyaandeveryonetodefendBuccefight, but do youfightforwhat?”Brandopursuesasks: „Listens, Iam not disputingwithyou, butmustknow an answer-”
“当然与我有关,他们中有我朋友的亲人,芙雷娅,小菲尼斯,还有埃森和马克米。他们的家人都在这些人当中,芙雷娅和大家为了保卫布契而战,而你们又为了什么而战?”布兰多追问道:“听好,我可不是在和你争执,而是要知道一个答案-”Thisloud and clearwordsmadeyoungsters of allgarrisonssilent, the sound that alwaystalked in whispersvanished.
这掷地有声的话让所有警备队的年轻人们沉默了下来,一直以来窃窃私语的声音消失了。„Makes way, Brando.”Brettongets angryto sayone.
“让开,布兰多。”布雷森黑着脸说了一句。In the Brandoheartsinks, not a goodpremonitionrose.布兰多心中一沉,一股不好的预感升了起来。Heshakes the head: „Leadsmeto seeCaptain Marden, IfindFreyaand others. I willleadsyouto come out of the difficult position, butyoumusttellmebefore that wasinthirdcompanyinsomefamilieshas an accident?”
他摇摇头:“带我去见马登队长,我去找芙雷娅和其他人。我会带你们走出困境,但在那之前你必须告诉我,是不是第三分队里有人家里出事了?”
The Brettoncomplexionsinks, is blackseems like the dark cloudcapping.布雷森脸色沉下来,黑得像是乌云压顶。„Depends onyou-?”YounggarrisonCaptainalmostsqueezes outseveralcharactersfrom the toothgap between teeth. Then, hegets angryto come backto the one's ownteam memberto wave, hintmakesthemset outfromanotherdirection.
“就凭你-?”年轻的警备队长几乎是从牙齿缝里挤出几个字来。说完,他黑着脸回过头向自己的队员招招手,示意让他们从另外一个方向进发。Hewas a characterdoes not wantto saywithBrandonow, heevena littleregretted before , had saidthese, hethinksin the afternoonthatfight, could not bearfeel that wasin the middle ofhislife a biggestnightmare.
他现在是一个字也不想和布兰多多说了,他甚至有点后悔之前说过的那些,他一想到下午那场战斗,就忍不住感到那是他人生当中最大的一场噩梦。Heevensuspected that thisnightmarewill lingerhislife.
他甚至怀疑这场噩梦会萦绕他一生。Brandostands on one side, looksKnight that thiscrowdleavessilently. Inhisheartflashes throughvariousguesses, butchanges into a possibilityfinally, hecannot bearopen the mouthto shout: „Bretton.”布兰多站在一边,看着这群默默离开的骑士。他心中闪过各种猜测,但最后都化为一个可能,他忍不住开口喊道:“布雷森。”Younggarrisonlieutenantwas stoppingimmediately.
年轻的警备副队长在马上停了下来。„IsFreya?”
“是不是芙雷娅?”Brettonbodyonestiff, buthehesitant a meeting, nodded.布雷森身体一僵,但他犹豫了一会,点了点头。„Had an accident?”
“出什么事了?”„YoufoundFreya, helpingmepass on tohera few words-”
“你找到芙雷娅,帮我转告她一句话-”„What?”
“什么?”Brettonsighed: „Ifyoufoundher, apologizedtoherforme. ToldherAuntSia and uncleinthis afternoonfightunfortunate......”布雷森叹了一口气:“若你找到她,代我向她道歉。告诉她西尔婶婶和大叔在今天下午的战斗中不幸……”Heis speaking ofthis, suddenlyhears a backkuāng dānglightsound.
他正说到这一句,忽然听到背后哐当一声轻响。Everyoneis startled, Knightshas turned head, sawinexactlythatdirectionin a facepaleFreyahand the long swordfalls down, a faceis incredible.
所有人都是一怔,骑士们回过头,恰好看到那个方向上一脸惨白的芙雷娅手中长剑坠地,一脸不可置信。ThatyoungsternamedEssenfollowsinthisfutureValkyriebehind, a helplessappearance.
那个叫做埃森的年轻人跟着在这位未来的女武神身后,一副手足无措的样子。„Freya-!”Brandoonestartled, hehad certainly guessed correctly the fellow who Brettonthatdogmouthcannot put out the ivorywhatmustsaywasanything.
“芙雷娅-!”布兰多一惊,他当然已经猜到布雷森那个狗嘴里吐不出象牙的家伙要说的是什么了。„Howpossibly, the auntshecannot......”
“怎么可能,婶婶她不会的……”Freyachokes with sobssuddenly, on the paleface, the teardropsflow copiously.芙雷娅忽然泣不成声,苍白的脸上,泪珠夺眶而出。Ineachindividualhearthasmostweak spot.
每个人心中都有最软弱的地方。WhenBrandosaw that alwaysstrongFreyasquatsto cry a sorrow, is weakseems like a small creature of injuryto be the same, heonearrived in ownheart the softestplaceto be hit, hefelt that the throatsomewhatbecame dry, wants saying that wordsactually of comfortcould not open the mouth.
而当布兰多看到一向坚强的芙雷娅蹲下去哭得一片悲凄,软弱得好像是一只受伤的小动物一样,他一下到自己心中最柔软的地方被击中了,他感到喉咙有些发干,想说点安慰的话却一句也开不了口。Helooks at the opposite partysilently, what realizessuddenly, could it be thathas experienced the baptism of suchbrutalwar, does that pure, simpleandgood-heartedcountrysidegirlultimatelymove toward the Valkyriepath?
他默默地看着对方,但忽然意识到什么,难道正是经历过这样残酷的战争的洗礼,那个单纯、朴素、心地善良的乡下女孩才最终走向女武神的道路么?Thenhistory was repeating itself.
那么历史正在复轨。
