THE LAND ON THE FAR BANK
Are the fish biting?
釣れますかな？ご老体
The fish are already in hibernation, right?
魚もそろそろ冬ごもりの時期でしょう
I don't care if I don't catch anything.
釣れずともかまわんのですよ。
My real job is operating the ferry.
本業は渡しですからな。
You guys are Danes, right?
あんた方はデーン人ですな？
You speak good English,
なかなか達者なイングランド語を話されるが…
but you have a bit of an accent.
少し訛っていらっしゃる。
Your accent sounds just like people from my country.
私のクニの訛りに似ている
How much would it cost to take us to the opposite shore?
向こう岸への渡し賃はいくらですか？
Two silver pieces.
銀2枚。
If you don't have silver, I also take alcohol. Well, then...
なければ酒でもよいが… さて…
I wonder how many days it would take me to bring all of you.
全員を運ぶには何日かかるやら。はっはっはっ
No. I only need you to bring this letter.
いや。荷はこの手紙だけです
I thought you were customers. That's too bad.
ほ、上客が来たと思うたが残念じゃ。
So, who do you want me to deliver it to?
で、これを対岸のどなたへ？
To any one of the elders. It's urgent.
元老のどなたかへ大至急。
Please tell them it's from Askeladd, son of Lydia.
リディアの子アシェラッドからとお伝え頂きたい
Understood. I'll hurry.
承知しました。大至急
Askeladd!
アシェラッド！
Askeladd! Where are you? Hey!
アシェラッド！おらぬか！オイ！
Ragnar. Please be quiet.
ラグナルさん。お静かに願いますよ
Why did you stop the march?
なぜ進軍を止める！？
Thorkell is going to catch up!
トルケルに追いつかれてしまうぞ！
We're not supposed to make noise while The Ear is at work.
“耳”が仕事をしている時は物音を立てない決まりだ
Ear?
ん？耳？
Bjorn.
ビョルン。
Don't let that conehead breathe.
そのトンガリ頭に息をさせるな
Ear! What's the status?
耳！どんな塩梅だ！
They've gotten closer since yesterday.
昨日より近づいてる。
I can hear soldiers and horses marching.
徒歩と馬の行軍音…数は…
There's about 500.
500近く…
They're close behind us.
後ろにピッタリつけてるぜ。
They're only one day away on foot.
歩いて1日の距離だ
Are you serious?
マジかよ耳。
Yesterday, you said they were two days away.
つい昨日は2日の距離だっつってたじゃねーか
You don't trust my ears?
オレの耳を疑うのか？
That was fast.
速いな。
They're marching fast.
よほどの強行軍なんだろうぜ。
They'll catch up to us in just a few days.
この分だと数日のうちにゃ追いつかれるな
Quiet, you guys.
静かにしろお前ら！
Horses. On the hill. Two of them.
馬だ！丘の上！2騎！
They've got us now.
完全に捕捉されたな
What do we do?
どうする気だ。
If we're going to meet them in battle, we must take positions!
迎撃するなら今のうちに陣を張らねば
No, that's impossible. We're no match for them.
いやぁムリでしょ。敵やしませんて
But if we don't do anything...
しかしこのままでは！
I've sent a request for reinforcements.
援軍を要請しました。
We'll keep running until they arrive.
それまでは逃げ回りましょうや
-What? -Reinforcements?
へ？援軍？
NOVEMBER 1013 AD WEST ENGLAND DOWNSTREAM EAST BANK OF SEVERN RIVER
Reinforcements?
援軍だぁ？
We're deep in enemy territory!
敵地のド真ん中だぞ
That's what Askeladd said, though.
アシェラッドが言うんだぜ？
He's never lied to us about something like that before.
あいつがその手のウソ言ったことあるか？
Well, you're right.
まぁねぇな確かに。
But where's the closest fort?
でも一番近い砦は？
It's Leicester.
レスターだろ
Seriously? It'll take two weeks to get there!
マジかよ。2週間はかかるぞ
I wonder if the reinforcements will be in time.
間に合うんかねェ？援軍…
If we ask for reinforcements, we have to split the plunder, right?
つーか援軍呼んだらほうびも山分けだろ？
Askeladd said we could handle it ourselves with just the hundred of us.
オレら100人だけでやるっつってたよなアシェラッド
I'm so tired! I want to get back on a ship!
てかダリィよもー！船に乗りてー！
Yeah.
あー…なー。
A ship would be nice...
船がありゃあなー
What? Do you need something?
なんだ？何か用か？
Everyone's worried.
みんな動揺してるぜ。
You should give them an explanation.
ちっとは説明してやれよ
Let them worry.
動揺させとけ。
Worrying will make them march faster.
少しぐらい焦ったほうが行軍も速くなっていい
What?
何だよ。
If that's all, then go to sleep.
他に用がねェならお前も寝ろ
You've been acting weird the last few days. What are you up to?
あんた、ここ数日ちょっと変だぜ？何考えてる
Ever since you saw the prince's face. Right?
王子の顔を見てからだ。そうだろ？
I've been living among criminals for 40 years.
オレァ悪党の中で40年余り生きてきてな…
I can tell what a man is like,
そいつがどんな奴なのか、
whether he's a big shot or a nobody, whether he's smart
大物か小物か、利口かバカか、
or stupid, just by looking at his face.
パッとツラ見ただけでわかっちまうのさ
When I saw the prince's face, I could tell.
王子のツラ見てなァ。わかっちまったんだよ
"That's not the face of a king."
“王者のツラじゃねェ”ってな
True. He looks like a girl.
あァ…まあ女みてぇなツラだよな。
But he's still a kid, you know?
だがよ。ありゃまだガキじゃねーか
That's true. He's still young. His future still awaits.
まァ…そうだな…まだ若い…これからだ
What? His future still awaits?
ん？これからって…
All right! Wake up, guys!
よーし起きろ野郎ども！
Get ready to march! If you're slow, Thorkell is going to catch up!
行軍準備ー！ グズグズしてっとトルケルに追いつかれっぞ！
Seriously?
マジかよ～
It's still dark.
まだ真っ暗じゃねーか…
Hey.
よー
-Yeah? -Were you able to sleep?
あー？ 眠れたかー？
No.
いや…
Hey.
なー
Shut up. Be quiet.
っるせぇな黙ってろよ
But if I don't keep talking,
いや…しゃべってねーと
I'm going to fall asleep.
眠っちまいそうでさ…
This is bad, Askeladd. They're right behind us.
やべぇぞアシェラッド。すぐそこまで来てる
Yeah. I know.
おー。わかってる
They're going to catch up.
このままじゃ追いつかれちまうぞ
I said, I know.
わーかってるって。
We're almost to where the reinforcements will come. Right there.
じきに援軍との合流地点だ。ほれソコ
-Reinforcements? -Them? Just the two of them?
援軍て…アレか？ 2人！？
Maybe it's just an illusion made by the fog.
霧の魔物じゃねーだろーな
I'm so honored that the commander has come himself.
軍団長自らおいで下さるとは恐縮です
It's been a long time, Askeladd.
久しいな…アシェラッド
So,
で
you're saying a ship carried them across the river?
その船が連中を乗せて川を渡ったってわけだ
Do you know whose ship it was?
どこの船だったかわかるか？
No. I'm not sure.
いや、それがハッキリとは
The fog was as thick as goat's milk.
なんせヤギの乳みてェに霧が濃かったもんで…
It wasn't a Norse ship. It didn't have a dragonhead.
ありゃノルドの船じゃねーよ。竜頭がなかった
It was kind of pudgy.
あーなんかボテッとした船だったかも
It had an eye drawn on it. On the bow. Big, like this.
確か目が描いてあった。船首のトコにギョロッと
That doesn't sound like one of King Sweyn's ships.
スヴェン王の船じゃなさそうだな
In any case, we can't follow Thorfinn anymore.
まァ何にしろトルフィンたちの足跡をたどることは出来なくなったな
I underestimated them.
ちィっと奴らのことを侮ってたな。
I didn't think that the people across the Severn River were their allies.
まさかセヴァーン川の向こう岸を味方につけてるとはな
Does that mean the people across the river switched sides from England to Denmark?
川向こうの住人はイングランドからデンマークに 寝返ったってことスか？
You idiot! You don't know anything!
バッカお前モノを知らねェなー。
The land on the other side of this river isn't part of England in the first place!
寝返るも何もこの川の向こうはそもそもイングランドじゃねーんだぜ
It's Wales.
ウェールズってんだ
Wales is a mountainous region to the west of England.
ウェールズ。イングランドの西に位置する山岳地帯である
The steep mountains had few natural resources.
険しい山々に資源は乏しく、
Flat land suitable for agriculture was scarce.
耕作に適した平地もわずか。
The land was poor compared to England.
イングランドに比べ貧しい土地と言える
After the end of rule by the Roman Empire,
ローマ支配時代の終焉以降、
Wales was never unified under a single country.
全地域を統一するほどの国家が育つことはなく
The region was divided into many small, rival kingdoms for hundreds of years.
多数の小王国が割拠する状態が数百年続いていた。
Askeladd's request for reinforcements was answered
アシェラッドの救援要請に応じたのは
by one of those small kingdoms.
そんな小王国のひとつだった
EAST OF MORGANNWG KINGDOM WALES
I want to compliment you for this, Askeladd.
ほめてつかわすぞアシェラッド。
Thorkell must be clenching his teeth in anger on the other side of the river.
今頃トルケルめは川の向こうで歯がみしておるだろうて
If we continue going by sea,
あとはこのまま海路を行けば
we can return to Gainsborough.
ゲインズバラへ帰れるというわけだ！
No. We're going to go by land.
いえ、こっからはまた陸路です
What are you talking about? There's a ship right there.
何を言うとる貴様。そこに船があろうが
Don't look at it from the perspective of a large nation.
大国のものさしで考えちゃいけませんよ
For this country, even three warships are a valuable asset.
この国にとって軍船3隻は貴重な戦力なんです。
We have to be thankful that they helped us escape from Thorkell in the first place.
トルケルをまくのに協力してくれただけでもよしとしなけりゃ
Then we can make do with only two ships! We can all fit!
…なら2隻でよい。詰めれば100人くらい…
No. If you keep acting selfish, I'm going to leave you behind.
ダメです！わがまま言う子は置いていきますよ
Are you telling me to walk across Wales? That's ridiculous!
ウェールズの地を歩けというのか！？バカな！
The people in this land hate us!
この地の民は我々を恨んどる！
I can't allow you to endanger His Highness any further!
これ以上、殿下の御身を危険にさらすわけにはいかん！
A hawk.
ハヤブサ…
It's so low.
あんなに低く…
Ragnar. Catch it.
ラグナル。つかまえてくれ
Pardon me, Your Highness, we're in the middle of something important.
あの…殿下。今大事な話を…
It's better than moving north through England with Thorkell at our heels.
トルケルに追われながらイングランドを北上するよりゃマシですよ。
Anyway, this country is an ally of mine.
少なくともこの国は私の味方です。
If you're still worried...
それでも心配だとおっしゃるなら…
Thorfinn!
トルフィン！
I'll assign him to guard Canute.
この者をクヌート殿下におつけします
Wow! You're the guy from back there...
おお…そなた、あの時の…
Don't make the decision for me.
勝手に決めんじゃねーよ
He's small, but he's good.
ナリは小さいが腕は立ちます。
And he's the same age as His Highness. I'm sure they'll get along.
殿下とは齢も同じなので気が合うでしょう。
Say your greetings, Thorfinn.
ご挨拶しろトルフィン
Are you an idiot? What are you glaring at him for?
アホか。メンチ切ってどーすんだよオメェはよー
You're going to reward me for this, right?
見返りはあるんだろうな
All right, all right. When we get to Gainsborough, I'll duel you.
わかったわかった。ゲインズバラに着いたら相手してやる
Askeladd. Are you ready?
アシェラッド。準備はよいか
Yes. We just finished. Oh, my. We're so busy.
はい。ただ今。ヤレヤレ忙しいな
This is the general of the Kingdom of Morgannwg, Gratianus.
こちらはモルガンクーグ王国の将軍グラティアヌス殿。
He's going to show us the way.
我らの道案内をして下さいます
You have a threatening look about you, but you have a good face.
ほう。少し険があるがよい顔だ
Commander, that's one of my men.
軍団長殿。それは私の部下です。
His Highness Prince Canute is over there.
クヌート王子殿下はそちらにおわします
His eyes look weak.
目に力がない。
Is he really going to be the next ruler of England?
本当に次代のイングランドを統べる者か？
What? You bastard! How rude!
なに！？貴様！失礼であろう！！
There's only one reason we're helping the Danish prince escape.
我らがデーンの王子の逃避行に協力する理由はひとつ。
It's so that we can enter a treaty of non-aggression.
ウェールズへの不可侵条約の締結だ。
It's all up to you. Prince, swear
全ては貴公次第…王子よ誓われよ。
that once you become the king of England,
イングランドの王となった暁には
you'll never interfere in the matters of Wales.
決してウェールズには干渉せぬと
Yes. Leave it to me.
はい。お任せ下さい
His Highness says,
あー殿下はこう申しておられる。
"If you give us three ships--"
そなたらが船3隻を提供するならば…
I asked the prince.
私は王子本人に聞いているのだ
What?
なに！？
Never mind. I'll ask again later.
まあよい。また後で聞こう。
I'll prepare a written document in the meantime.
それまでに文書を用意しておく。
Get ready to depart.
出発の準備を急がれよ
What's wrong with that arrogant snob?
なんっじゃあの高慢チキはっっ！
He's taking advantage of us!
こちらの足元を見おってからに！！
Does he think he's an equal to the prince?
殿下と対等に口がきけるとでも思うとるんか！？
That country bumpkin!
田舎モンめが！！
Marching, marching, and more marching! Now we're marching in the mountains!
行軍行軍また行軍…今度は山道かよ
Mountains are better than Thorkell.
トルケルよりゃ山道のほうがマシだ。
Let's talk about something more fun.
もっと楽しい話しよーぜ
Like what?
楽しいってどんな？
Our reward from King Sweyn.
そりゃおめぇスヴェン王のごほうびだよ。
We saved the prince from Thorkell.
オレたちゃあのトルケルから王子を救ったんだぜ？
I want a farm!
農場のひとつももらいたいもんだ
I want a cool sword.
カッチョイイ剣とか
No. It's all about the gold. Nothing's better than gold.
いや、やっぱり黄金よぉ。金に勝るものはないぜ
Yeah.
ちげえねぇ
I heard the king has
なんでも王の寝室にゃ
a hundred beautiful slave women from around the world in his bedroom.
世界中からさらってきた美女の奴隷が100人もいるってよ
Come here.
I'm so excited! Is there anything else?
ワクワクすんなーもー！他には他には！？
Hey, priest!
おーい神父さんよー！！
You've been to the palace, right?
アンタ王宮にいたんだよな？
What does the king have in his house?
王の家にはどんな物があったね？
Well, there was nothing of value in particular.
いやまあ… これといって価値のありそうなものはなかったですよ
No way! Not even beautiful women?
ウソ！？美女も！？
Well, he did have a lot of slave women.
あー…女性の奴隷は結構いましたねー
What? Aren't you interested?
いましたねーってそんなあっさり…
You don't like women?
あんた…女に興味ないのか？
No. Gold, silver, and beautiful women are all nothing
いやいや。私の求めているものに比べれば
compared to the thing I seek.
金銀も美女もつまらない物だということです
Please tell us! What is it you're seeking?
ぜひ教えてくれ。一体そりゃア何なんだ？
Love.
愛です
-What? Love? -Yes.
は？アイ？ はい
What's that? I've never heard of it.
なんだそりゃ。聞いたことねーな
I know what it is. It's like a spell that the Christians are always chanting.
オレ知ってる。キリスト教徒がよく言う呪文かなんかだよ
Isn't it some kind of food?
食いモンじゃねーの？
How many pounds in silver?
銀でいうと何ポンドのものだ？
It can't be measured in silver,
銀では測れません。
because love is what gives value to silver.
銀に価値を与えるのも愛だからです
Without love, gold, silver, and beautiful women are all worthless.
愛なくしては金も銀も美女も全て無価値だ
"Gives value"?
価値を与える？
That doesn't make sense.
ほんとワケわかんねーな。
Silver has the value of silver.
銀は銀の価値だろうがヨ。
Don't make it so difficult.
小難しいこと言いやがって
He's bluffing.
ハッタリこいてんだよ
Just ignore him.
無視無視
Hey, priest.
坊さん、おい。
Keep talking. I want to hear more.
続けてくれよ今の話。もう少し聞きたいんだ
We're about to enter the Kingdom of Brycheiniog.
そろそろブリケイニオグ王国に入る。
Don't worry. I've talked to them already.
案ずるな。話はつけてある
Thank you for your help.
ご尽力いたみいります
We're not doing this for you. It's just that our interests are aligned.
お前たちのためではない。利害の一致だ。
The Welsh kingdoms have always been
ウェールズ諸王国はかねてより
threatened by invasions from England.
イングランドの侵攻に苦しめられてきた。
If you Danes can make them stop,
お前たちデーン人が黙らせてくれるならば
it would be good for us.
我々に都合がいい
I'm sure His Highness the Prince will promise you that.
王子殿下はきっと、さように約束されましょう
So, is that your king, Askeladd?
あれがお前の王かアシェラッド
He's from a good bloodline.
血筋は申し分ありません。
As for the rest, I have high hopes for him since he's young.
あとはまァ…若さに期待しています
The more you fall for a man, the less things go how you want.
惚れた男ほど思いどおりにはならんもんです
Maybe someone like him is just what we need.
案外…あのくらいの器のほうがちょうどいいのかもしれません
We're the descendants of Britannia.
我らは誇りあるブリタニアの末裔だ。
We're not going to follow the king of the Danes.
デーンの王には従わぬぞ
Gratianus.
グラティアヌス殿。
Do you still believe in the legend?
いまだ伝説を信じておいでですか？
The legend that Artorius will return from Avalon to the west
アルトリウス公が西の彼方のアヴァロンから戻られ、
and restore the Britannia of old.
古のブリタニアを復興なさるという伝説を…
Askeladd!
アシェラッド！
Are you sure?
確かか？
That's what The Ear says.
耳の奴はそう言ってるぜ
Thank you for coming, prince of the Danes!
よく参られた！デーンの王子よ！
They're messengers from Brycheiniog.
ブリケイニオグの使いの者だ。
Thank you for coming!
出迎えご苦労！
Wait! Gratianus.
お待ちを！グラティアヌス殿！
Did they notice?
気づいたか
How can you tell?
なぜわかる？
One of my men has good hearing.
部下に耳のよい者がおります
But it's too late.
だが…もう遅い
What's wrong, Thorfinn?
どうしたトルフィン
Get up! Hurry up!
立て！早くしろ！
Let's go.
行くぞ！
