1948 Leaving the Mountain Range (1/2)

张铁在那片山岭之中呆了十天,随后,他就离开了那片山岭.

Zhang Tie didn't leave that mountain range until 10 days later.

这这十天内,张铁一个人在山岭之中参加了不下十次的战斗,砍了几十个脑袋,最后一次,在伏击了一队神圣联盟帝国的战士之后,化身弗瑞德的张铁”惊奇的发现”自己突然之间似乎已经可以点燃除了脊椎明点之外的身体的其他明点,在有了这个发现之后,张铁按照光辉之剑的要求,主动退出了那片山岭,准备回营地报道.

During this period, Zhang Tie joined more than 10 battles and chopped off dozens of heads in the mountain range. After ambushing a team of fighters of Sacred Alliance Empire, Zhang Tie who disguised himself as Frederick suddenly found that he could light all the other surging points except those on his spine. After that, Zhang Tie exited that mountain range and prepared to go back to the camp at the order of the Sword of Brilliance.

这十天的战斗,无需赘述,因为那一场场的战斗,对张铁来说,连演戏都算不上,也谈不上任何的惊险,以他圣阶的境界,哪怕在虚弱之中,假装一个九级的战士,和同级别,甚至更低级别的魔族走狗们去战斗,这样的战斗,对张铁来说,干巴巴的,又有何成就感可言.

The battles in the 10 days could be ignored as they were not even performances and far from risks. Given his realm as a sage-level knight, even being weak, he still didn't have any sense of fulfillment by disguising as a LV 9 fighter and fighting demon lackeys at LV 9 or below LV 9. It was far from being satisfying.

唯一稍微有点”惊险”的,是有一次张铁在山中发现了一个神圣联盟帝国的十一级的战师,然后,张铁考虑再三,觉得以自己九级的实力,去跳两级击杀一个十一级的战师实在有些说不过去,太逆天了一点,也会露出破绽,所以张铁以”宁死不屈”的意志,在那个十一级的战师的追杀下最后”跳崖”,终于”躲过”了那个战师的追杀...

There was only a relatively ”risky” battle: Zhang Tie discovered a LV 11 battle master of Sacred Alliance Emperor in the mountain. After thinking twice, Zhang Tie felt it was too eye-catching if he killed him with the gap of two levels, therefore, Zhang Tie chose to ”dodge” the battle master's chase through jumping off the ”cliff” with an ”unyielding” will...

也就是在那次”跳崖逃命”后的两天,张铁发现自己大难不死后似乎取得了某些突破,”终于”可以点燃脊椎外的明点,所以他结束了在山岭之中的十天”踏青郊游”,进入计划的下一步.

2 days later after that ”survival”, Zhang Tie found that he gained some breakthrough——he could finally light the surging points except those on his spine. Therefore, he finished the 10 days' ”outing in the spring” in the mountain range and came to the next step.

费南距离冷水城230公里,护卫着冷水城的侧翼,和现在已经成为一片废墟的冷水城相比,费南现在还完全掌握在人族联军的手上,整个费南现在就是一个兵营,神圣联盟帝国的军队想要夺取费南,只有两条路,这两条路,一条是穿过费南北面的那一片崇山峻岭,把大军开到费南城下,还有一条,就是在彻底占领冷水城后,从冷水城挥师东进,才有威胁费南的可能.

Feinan was about 160 miles away from Coldwater City. Protecting a flank of Coldwater City, it was completely under the control of allied human forces compared to the deserted Coldwater City. Feinan was like a human camp. If the forces of Sacred Alliance Emperor wanted to occupy Feinan, they could only have two ways: pass the lofty mountains in the north of Feinan and came to the city gate of Feinan City or completely occupy Coldwater City and march eastward from Coldwater City so as to threaten Feinan.

这两条路,对神圣联盟帝国来说,哪一条都不容易,每前进一步,都要付出血的代价.

As for Sacred Alliance Emperor, each of the two ways was difficult. They had to pay a great loss whenever they marched one step forward.

冷水城已经变成了一片废墟,但双方还在争夺,而在费南城北面的山岭之中,大军无法开进,所有的重型装备无法进入,所以那片山岭之中又成了另外一片战场,能进入其中与敌人战斗的,都是真正的精锐力量,六级以上的战士成了那片山岭之中的主角,而在山岭之外,人族联军严阵以待,布置了一条由一连串战堡组成的防线,就算神圣联盟帝国的精锐力量可以从那片山岭之中杀出来,也要在那些钢铁战堡组成的嗜血锯齿面前撞得头破血流.

Coldwater City had already become ruins; however, humans and demon lackeys were still scrambling for it. Additionally, the demon army couldn't move forward in the mountain range in the north of Feinan City as none of the heavy weapons could enter it. Therefore, that mountain range became another battlefield. Those who could fight in that region were all elites. They were mainly fighters above LV 6. Outside the mountain range, allied human forces were waiting for enemies in a series of defense line composed of battle fortresses. Even though the elites of Allied Sacred Emperor passed that mountain range, they would also be badly battered by the bloody forces in the steel battle fortresses.

...

”站住...”

”Stop...”

在那片山岭南面的一个关隘处,一个灰色的高大的钢铁战堡耸立着,卡主了进出那片山岭的咽喉,7月29日的早上,天色大亮,太阳刚刚出来,一身露水,从树林之中钻出来的张铁,在距离那片关隘处500米之外,就引起了战堡守军的注意,战堡上几台威力巨大的蒸汽弩炮,已经悄然瞄准了张铁的身影,在张铁把野战披风的帽兜拉下来,露出自己胡子拉碴历经风霜的脸颊和面容之后,战堡上的守军稍微放松了一点,但仍然盯着朝着战堡走来的张铁.

A tall gray-colored steel battle fortress was standing at a pass in the south of that mountain range, controlling the main road accessing the mountain range. On the early morning of July 29, soon after the sun came out, Zhang Tie had caught the attention of the garrisons in the battle fortress. Some powerful steam crossbow cannons had already targeted at Zhang Tie silently. When Zhang Tie pulled off the hood of his field cape, revealing his bearded and experienced face, he caused the garrisons to be slightly relaxed. However, they were still gazing at Zhang Tie who was walking towards the battle fortress.

在张铁距离战堡70米左右的时候,地上有一条红线,随着战堡上的那个声音传来,张铁也就在那条红线之外停下了脚步. ”报上部队番号,还有通行口令!”钢铁战堡之上,一个穿着暗红色军装的军官战在箭垛的后面,对着张铁喊了一声.

When Zhang Tie was about 70 m away from the battle fortress, he saw a red line on the ground. At this time, Zhang Tie heard a voice from the battle fortress, ”Report the designation of your troop and your passcode!” from an officer in crimson military uniform hiding behind the arrow buttress.

”圣光帝国光辉之剑军团希克斯半岛派遣兵团第三大队第76小队,通关口令,雾中之光...”张铁沉声回答道.
