Summoning Total War

.Chapter 45 This is not a deal...

(When recommendations, monthly tickets, and rewards are not enough, it is difficult for me to have the fighting spirit to write. I am really not a qualified writer... This is the second update today.)

The battle is over.

The initial excitement also calmed down, and the semi-elf warriors began to clean the battlefield. The arrows that were shot needed to be recovered, and the weapons and equipment left by the lizard people also needed to be collected. The new fighting methods and the victory they just won inspired the courage of these half-elves. Their morale is now high and they can persist even if there is another battle.

After dealing with the battlefield, Murphy followed Artoria to meet with the Half-Elven Queen.

Now, the eyes of the druids and moon god priests looked at Murphy differently from the last time. The druids had a trace of respect in their eyes, while the priests of moon god Ellun burst out with brilliance. Even the half-elf queen looked at him with a somewhat meaningful look, and from time to time she turned her gaze to Artoria aside, which made the young girl blush slightly and turn her little head to the side.

"Your military talent made me believe in the legend for the first time." The half-elf queen looked at Murphy affectionately and said with a kind smile.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness." Murphy was not at all proud. He just saluted slightly and said slowly: "This is just a trivial victory. The truly arduous war is still to come."

"No, no, my child." Although the half-elf queen has spent a long time, her words of "my child" still made Murphy feel a little awkward. However, His Highness the Queen quickly took it and said: "This victory has greatly inspired my people, allowing them to regain their courage and confidence, and also made us understand what a real army is."

Murphy nodded, he could completely feel the change in the momentum of the semi-elf army along the way.

This is also Murphy's purpose. Otherwise, it would be completely impossible to fight a tough battle with the lizardman army with these temporarily recruited rabble. If they were not given a victory to regain their confidence, they would be on the verge of collapse as long as the enemy made an impact.

………………

After leaving the Semi-Elven Queen, Murphy discovered that there were a few more prompts in the "Total War" auxiliary system.

Before, because he was highly concentrated during the battle, he didn't pay attention to this at all. It was only now that he discovered that the auxiliary system of "Total War" actually had something extra.

"The talent of the Ding Half Elf race is awakening...the auxiliary system data is being analyzed...data collection has begun..."

"The birthplace of the Ding Half Elf is a racial specialty - the rapid shooting auxiliary system data is being imported... The database is being improved..."

………………

"Rapid Shot: Semi-elves' unique bow talent allows them to pour out a large number of arrows at the enemy in a short period of time, forming a terrifying rain of arrows to cover and kill the enemy."

On the Athens Allies page, there is a new talent after the racial note of the half-elf.

This result was a bit unexpected for Murphy, because he did not expect that his tactical arrangements would actually allow the half-elves to give birth to such a racial talent. But since he used this tactic, those semi-elves can naturally learn it and use it in other battles. This talent actually existed, but Murphy brought it out just right.

Strictly speaking, this victory is just a prelude to a battlefield and not a real victory.

Therefore, this battle did not elevate Murphy's commander to another star, and because he had the title of 'Epic Battle Winner', it was not easy for Murphy to upgrade his commander to another star. Now, Murphy finally has a new understanding of the commander in the auxiliary system of "Total War", that is, the commander represents not only strength, but also tactical ability and talent.

It also represents the accumulation of morale and belief, just like on the battlefield, even if Murphy does nothing, as long as he stands there, the morale of the Athenian army will not collapse.

This is the important role of the commander in transforming data into reality.

This is a belief, even an accumulation of faith, because as long as Murphy is still standing on the battlefield, the Athenian army will have the courage

"How should we fight the next battle?" Artoria seemed to be very well-behaved today. She actually followed Murphy quietly. After returning to the battlefield, she couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know." Murphy shook his head and sighed.

To be honest, he really didn't know.

Because he doesn’t know how many trump cards the lizard people have, whether there are more elite warriors, how big the giant lizard army is, how terrifying the swamp hydra that the druids say is, and he doesn’t even know if there are any now. How many lizardmen have been demonized and transformed into such powerful monsters. Without knowing the strength of his opponent, Murphy had no tactics at all.

However, fortunately, the full strength of Athens has not been brought to the table.

The Spartan conquerors have not yet joined the battle. The Sword of Victory, the oath in the hands of the war priest and the maiden, still retains its power. The half-elf druids are still recharging their strength, and the legendary ancient tree of war is still there. On standby, and the mysterious mercenary girl who doesn't know the details. The role of a legendary assassin on the battlefield is difficult to estimate.

Moreover, there are high-level elven reinforcements who don't know when they will arrive.

"The lizard people's army is still a day and a half away from here, and we don't know when the reinforcements from the high elves will arrive." Murphy looked at the young girl beside him, raised his hand to straighten her body, and she was blown away by the wind. Luàn's long hair slowly said: "It's too early to say anything about it now."

Murphy's action made Artoria blush slightly, but she didn't move away. She just lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.

Night falls.

The battlefield was quiet, and the ground was littered with lizard-man corpses. After the battle, the exhausted half-elf army had no energy to pay attention to the enemy corpses piled up on the battlefield after dealing with the corpses of their comrades. They could only wait until tomorrow. Dig another big hole and dispose of them. The strong smell of blood attracted vultures and crows from dozens of miles away, and some scavenging beasts secretly came to the battlefield after dark to feast.

The cruelty of war is most real at this moment.

………………

late at night.

Murphy's camp was brightly lit, and the Athenian generals gathered here to discuss how to deal with the next fierce battle. It was not until the early hours of the morning that the Athenian generals, who were extremely tired after the day's battle, dispersed and returned to their tents to rest.

But Murphy didn't know that when he was discussing countermeasures with the Athenian generals in the camp, two people on the hillside were watching them all night long.

"Go back." The half-elf queen gently stroked the long golden hair of the girl beside her and said quietly.

Arturia looked at the camp in the distance, her eyes seemed a little distant, and she suddenly raised her head and asked, "Is this responsibility?"

The half-elf queen didn't answer and didn't know how to answer.

But after seeing the Athenian generals working until early in the morning before falling asleep, she felt like something was touched in her heart.

"This is not a deal."

Finally, Her Royal Highness the Queen said slowly.
