This is a historic recounting of the War of the Red Plains, a war between Valerians and Zenareans. Red Plains上的战争是一个极具历史性的事件，一场Valerians与Zenareans的战争。 The War of the Red Plains broke out shortly after the first invasion of Mephistopheles. Mephistopheles' reign of terror had wide-reaching effects, across the borders and lands of many nations, including Valeria and Zenarea. Red Plains上的战争在Mephistopheles第一次的侵略後不久後随即爆发。 Mephistopheles的恐怖统治有着广大的影响，不受国境与边界的限制，包括Valeria 与Zenarea。 While the Valerians were busy formulating plans to banish the evil demon from the land, the Zenareans had to deal with the famine that was sweeping their land. Zenarea, a much smaller landmass than Valeria, had a majority of its farmland destroyed in the invasion, leaving many of the population without grain. The shortage of food caused an uproar in the general population and the Zenarean Empire was forced to take action. 当Valeria人正忙着拟定驱除恶魔的计画之时，Zenarea人必须处理遍布整个领地的饥荒 问题。 Zenarea是个比Valeria小得多的大陆，Zenarea大多数的农田都在被 Mephistopheles侵略时摧毁了，留下的是一大群没有粮食的人口。食物的短缺引发了全民 的骚动这也导致了Zenarea帝国被迫采取行动。 Meanwhile, the Valerians, with most of their military forces depleted by the invasion, made requests to the Zenarean government for military aid in defeating Mephistopheles. Left unchecked, Mephistopheles would enslave mankind. In the eyes of Valeria, there should be no higher priority. For months, the requests were left unanswered. Valeria decided to send a scouting party to the Zenarean continent to make one final request for help. 同时，Valeria人因为主要的军队都被Mephistopheles的侵略消灭了，因此他们向 Zenarea官方请求提供军事协助以击退Mephistopheles。若置之不理，Mephistopheles 将会奴役所有人类。对Valeria来说这是最优先的事情。但是几个月来，这个请求并没有 得到回应。因此Valeria决定派一队探索队到Zenarea大陆进行最後交涉。 As the Valerian scouting party reached the fringes of the Valerian continent, they happened to come across several Zenarean squadrons pillaging many villages for supplies and foodstuffs along the Valerian-Zenarean borders. The Valerian scouting party had to take this party back to Valerian high officials. Upon hearing the news, the Valeria High Council felt the need to take action. It was decided that an elite party of Valerias strongest soldiers would be sent after Mephistopheles while what remained of the Valerian military forces would go to war with the Zenareans for their transgressions against the Valerian continent. 当Valeria的探索队到达Valeria大陆的边缘时，他们刚好发现Zenarea的军队正延着两个 大陆的边界，为食物和补给洗劫许多村庄。 Valeria的探索队只能摸摸鼻子打道回府并 回报给高层知悉。一听到这个消息，Valeria高阶议会知道该采取行动了。他们决定 派出一个由Valeria最精锐的士兵组成的精英队伍去追赶Mephistopheles，同时所有剩下 的军力将会用来和Zenarea人决战，因为他们侵犯Valeria的领土。 With that decree, during the unusually cold summer of the sixth Season of Lunar Nights, the Valerian army marched towards Zenarea. Due to the harsh winter, the Valerian army did not reach the Zenarean territory until the second Season of Red Moons. Upon reaching the border, Zenareans were already engaged in skirmishes with Valerian villagers. The marching Valerian army quickly dispatched the rogue squadrons of Zenareanss. The small skirmishes between Valerians and Zenareans soon escalated into a large-scale battle at the White Plains of Outer Zenarea. The casualties on both sides were high. Both sides were forced to battle in the biting cold and the lack of supplies and food for both sides made the armies ill-prepared for the trying times of war. 因为这个法令，在这个以Lunar Nights为名的第六个季节中不寻常的冷夏里，Valeria的军 队向Zenarea前进。 但是因为严寒，Valeria的军队直到以Red Moons为名的第二个季节前 都没有到达Zenarea的领地。在刚到达边界时，Zenarea却已与Valeria的村民发生小规模 的战斗。Valeria的军队很快地解决了Zenarea的盗贼军团。而这个发生於Valeria与 Zenarea间的小规模战斗很快地发展成在Zenarea外围白色平原(White Plains)上大规模的 战役。两边的伤亡人数都很高。双方都被迫於在刺人的寒冬中进行战斗，而短缺的物资和 食物都让两边的军队在这艰困的战争中处於准备不周的状态。 The war waged on for seven years, with neither side being able to gain an advantage over the other. The casualties kept on mounting and it seemed that there would be no end in sight. Then, on that fateful day of the seventh Season of High Tides, reports sprang up throughout the continent about rifts opening up, unleashing denizens from hell and angels from the heavens. Aurora, the mighty demigoddess of Health, knew that Mephistopheles would once again enter the world of man. It seemed the Valerian squadron sent to vanquish Mephistopheles had failed. Although the demigods rarely interfere in the matters of man, Aurora knew that she had to end the war between the Valerians and Zenareans and prepare them for the impending invasion of Mephistopheles. 在两边都未能取得优势情形下，这场战争持续了七年。伤亡人数不断攀升而且没有结束 的迹象。之後，一个命运般的日子在以High Tides为名的第七个季节降临了，领地内纷纷 传回裂缝展开释放出来自地狱的生物和来自天堂的天使的消息。 Aurora，强大的生命女半神，知道Mephistopheles将会再次进到这个人类的世界里。 Valeria派出去想要击败Mephistopheles的军队似乎已经失败。虽然半神们鲜少介入人类的 事情，但是Aurora知道她必须结束这场Valeria和Zenarea的战争并让他们准备迎接不久之 後来自Mephistopheles的侵略。 As the Valerians and Zenareans prepared for another battle at the White Plains, Aurora descended onto the battlefield. Soldiers from both sides stood in awe at the beauty and power of the powerful demigoddess. Aurora informed both sides of the impending danger approaching mankind and if the Valerians and Zenareans continued to wage war, it would have meant the certain end of mankind. With those words, both sides relinquished their arms. A truce was signed between the Valerian High Council and the Zenarean Empire. The war had lasted so long, that few remembered why it had occurred in the first place. In the following seasons, both Valerians and Zenareans prepared their continents for the impending war between the armies of man and the armies of the Demon King Mephistopheles. The outcome of that war will need to be recorded and recounted at another time. 当Valeria和Zenarea准备好要在白色平原上进行下一场战斗时，Aurora在战场之中降下。 她的美丽和力量让两边的士兵敬畏地站在这位半女神前。Aurora告诉两边即将降临在人类 身上的危险，若Valeria和Zenarea继续进行战争，无疑地这将是人类的末日。 因为这些警语，两边都放弃了武装。并且由Valeria高阶议会和Zenarea帝国共同签署了一 个停战协议。这场战争已经持续太久了，因此很少人记得一开始是怎麽发生的。 在接下来的几个季节里，Valeria和Zenarea在准备即将到来的战争，一场人类军队与 恶魔王Mephistopheles的战争。而这场战争的结果将需要被记录下来并且在另一个时候被 讲述。 Footnote: Legend says from the day the truce was signed between the Valerians and Zenareans, the White Plains only sprouted red grass. Some suggest it was due to all the blood spilled on that battlefield. Others believe that the truce between the Valerians and Zenareans was signed by the blood of both the Valerian High Council and the Zenarean Royalty. From that day forth, the White Plains of Outer Zenarea have been called the Red Plains. 注解: 传说自从Valeria和Zenarea签署停战协议的那天起，白色平原只生长出红色的草。 有些人猜测这是因为所有喷洒在战场上的血的缘故。也有人相信两边的停战协议 是以Valeria高阶议会和Zenarea王室成员的血而写成的。 从那天起，在Zenarea边缘的白色平原就被称为红色平原(Red Plains) (*1):为了方便(偷懒)，所有的Valerians和Zenareans都没翻出来 (逃) -- 这次本文没上到色耶 -- ╭═╦═╮ ╭═══╮ ║ ║ ╭═╮╭═╮╭╦╮ ╮ ╭═╮ ║ ║ ╭══╮╭══╮ ╟═╬═─ ║ ║║ ║ ║ ║ ╫═╦═╫ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╟═╢╰═╮ ║ ║ ╟═ ║ ║ ║ ║╟╤╮╠══ ╰═╩═╯ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╩ ║ ╩ ║ ║║║ ╩ ╩╰═╯ ╩ ╰═╯╰═╯ ╰═╬╯╰══╯ --
