Summoning Total War

Dawn.

Murphy was woken up by a gust of cold wind. Although the tent was nailed to the ground on all sides, it was still blown by the strong wind. As his strength improves, Murphy needs less and less time to sleep, and his strong energy allows him to virtually spend nearly six hours more in a day than ordinary people. Don't underestimate these six hours. As long as he doesn't sleep in every day, he might really be able to practice both magic and martial arts!

Magic and martial arts?

What does this noun that appears most often in third-rate knight novels require? []

talent?

Not only that.

What real magic and martial arts cultivation requires most is time!

Practicing martial arts is not just about memorizing moves and practicing hard, it also requires a lot of time to train your muscles and bones. Practicing magic is not just about sitting and meditating, it also requires reading a lot of knowledge, learning endless arcane theories, understanding the meaning of elements, the rules of the world, the balance of the planes, and so on! Both of these require a lot of time.

And if a person cannot successfully reach the corresponding state before his body enters the period of decline (anyone who reaches Qiao Sui can clearly feel that the decline of the body has begun), then his path of cultivation will be affected by the Life is not enough to make further progress. The bottlenecks we encounter are often caused by people's inability to break through when their bodies are in their prime.

When practicing martial arts, the body gradually changes from strong to weak after entering middle age, and those who cannot break through this limit before entering the period of weakness will find it difficult to reach new heights throughout their lives. When practicing magic, as the caster gets older, whether it is memory, reaction, or energy, etc., they will become insufficient. By that time, they will basically have no chance of becoming a high-level mage.

This is not just talent.

It also depends on whether you can seize the opportunity and work hard to move towards a higher path when your body is in its golden period.

This limit is what ordinary people call - "extraordinary"!

As for those who practice magic and martial arts, it is even more difficult to break through this limit. Those who can do it are either those with outstanding talents or those with innate extraordinary bloodline!

For example, high elves.

The special bloodline they were born with as a silver species allowed them to be in the golden age of their bodies for nearly three hundred years.

Therefore, they can enjoy life leisurely, and then slowly practice magic, and even those who are a little more diligent can become legendary figures in the legendary magic and martial arts!

But what about humans?

How long do humans last?

Counting from the age of ten is fifteen years, and counting from the age of twenty is only ten years.

Even those green-skinned orcs can maintain their golden age for nearly twenty years longer than humans!

--but! ! !

There has never been a shortage of human beings stepping into transcendent existence.

The magician Merlin is witch year old this year. Magicians of the same level as him, even pure-blood elves with good talents, are older than their prime years. The gray robe wizard Gandalf is only 7 years old this year, just from appearance. To put it bluntly, he just looks like a middle-aged man. Once that boundary is broken, the powerful potential of human beings is unleashed. What other races would take hundreds of years to reach, they can even surpass in just a few decades.

Humans are smart.

They are the race that has evolved the highest level of civilization besides the elves. Even the orcs who have some inheritance from the previous era cannot compare with them. As for the elves, because of the ancient elves, they almost completely inherited the civilization of the previous era. These high elves cannot be described in terms of civilizational evolution, because what they receive is a kind of inheritance.

If we want to take a realistic example to illustrate the intelligence of human beings, we can start from the civilization inherited by the ancient elves at the beginning of the Era.

At the beginning of this era, the earth was in darkness and desolation. Those undeveloped lands were filled with powerful beasts, monsters left over from the previous era. In order to allow a new civilization to be born again, the ancient elves openly taught knowledge to various races on the continent. At that time, many races, including humans, such as orcs, dwarves, centaurs, etc., all went to the Emerald Dream to learn knowledge.

This is the origin of the evolution of civilization at the beginning of the Era, and it is also an accelerated process.

Regardless of the results of the learning, it was precisely because of this learning that a new race was born on the continent.

That is - half-elf people

A mixture of humans and elves, not orcs, dwarves, or centaurs. A large number of races went to Pei Cui's Dream, but only humans caught the eyes of the high elves, and then made them pregnant, giving birth to a new race. . Facing the female-dominated elves, humans were able to rise to the occasion and create a new race.

You can imagine his intelligence...

All right.

This is actually just an example with a personal twist.

From a more rigorous and clear perspective, the IQ of humans is indeed higher than that of other races. The most obvious thing is that during the period from the age of 8 to the old age, human children are higher than other races in terms of learning ability and thinking agility. This has been personally verified by the mages, and is also an important reason why the mages choose children of this age as apprentices.

However, as time goes by, this advantage will gradually be evened out, and later it will be almost unnoticeable.

As a person who broke through that 'extraordinary' boundary at an old age (physical age), Murphy is undoubtedly lucky.

But he is even more fortunate that he did not come into this world alone. He is surrounded by the high priest who has been silently caring for and helping him. This has allowed Murphy to surpass many people from the very beginning, and even be comparable to others. Those higher spirits known as the Silver Species

As long as he doesn't wait for decades to die every day, then he can live to become a legend!

Compared to many spellcasters who ultimately choose to become legends after death due to lack of time, Murphy is undoubtedly much luckier. The blood of the Olympus gods was already flowing in his body, and he who inherited the divine blood no longer belonged to the ranks of mortals.

Although Murphy's ambition is not just that.

It's early December, the last days.

Murphy got dressed and walked out of the tent, obviously finding that the temperature today was much lower than yesterday! The wind felt cold on my face, with a hint of chill. It is now the end of early December, and it will enter the middle of December in a few days, and by that time the temperature will drop seriously. In a world like this that is not polluted by mechanical civilization, there is heavy snowfall in the southern plains almost every winter.

"Mr. Governor!" Inside the station, the patrolling Athenian soldiers saluted Murphy.

Murphy nodded and walked outside.

Winter is coming.

This is undoubtedly very good news, because the cold weather will cause a lot of trouble to those lizard people. Obviously, this can buy more time for the half-elves. If they can persist until the reinforcements from the high elves arrive, this war will probably be much easier.

About half an hour later.

It started to rain lightly again. The rain was not heavy, but it was raining heavily.

"The situation seems to be good." Murphy looked up at Artoria in front of him while drinking a bowl of dried meat and a bowl of porridge.

The girl ate very elegantly today. She chewed her food carefully and had the demeanor of an elf aristocrat. In contrast, Murphy was much more rude. He ate in big mouthfuls and made a slurping sound while drinking the porridge. Artoria didn't eat much. After eating, she watched Murphy gulping down the porridge with a smile on his face, just watching quietly.

Murphy's appetite is not small, and his posture is getting bigger and bigger.

If he eats with an open belly, he can even eat a roast suckling pig! This is when one's own qi and blood are strong to a certain extent, and the stimulation of appetite is a process that a warrior must go through after breaking through the limit. The girl has obviously gone through this process. She has part of the blood of ancient elves, and she is technically much more powerful than Murphy!

It's just that when he took action, he didn't have the fortitude, decisiveness, and sharpness of Murphy.

"On such a rainy day, the Lizardmen will definitely encounter difficulties when marching. Not to mention the muddy roads, just walking in the rain will be a big weakening for them. Most of these Lizardmen are ordinary warriors. , even if you are strong, you can't endure it all the time, and the weather is getting colder!" Just as Murphy said this, there was a sudden rustling sound outside.

Then it became denser and the sound gradually became louder.

"What's the sound?" Murphy stood up in confusion and walked outside.

Arturia also raised her head slightly doubtfully and followed Murphy towards the outside of the tent. As soon as they got out of the tent, the two people immediately discovered that there were many ice particles scattered on the ground outside. They didn't know when the continuous drizzle was actually mixed with many small ice particles the size of mung beans, and these small ice particles fell. On the tent, there was a burst of 'rustling' sounds.

hail?

Murphy pinched a small ice particle from the tent, and the smile on his face became more obvious.
