Ah Yigu, you are not describing people, but monsters.

"Aren't we invincible, then, and why do so many countries still exist?" Phil wondered about this.

"Hehe, how can there be invincible people. Everything is fair, and Gaia, the Mother Earth goddess, treats her children equally. As a member of the Snape family, I'm sure you know more than the average person. ”

Edward's face was a little embarrassed and helpless.

"Even if each of our warriors is strong enough to take on 10 or 20 enemies alone, it is far from enough to consume.

We have a sparse population, low fertility and a serious imbalance between men and women.

The combined population of the three allies is less than half of the entire continent, and the land area under their control is half of the land.

The empire is vast and abundant, and as long as they are willing to contribute, even ordinary people can have no worries about food and clothing, and even a little wealth.

However, the contrast between the sparse population and the huge land area has led to our long borders and huge pressure on national defense.

Even if we don't expand, our existing population is far from being able to digest the rich land left to us by our ancestors.

Scholars in the imperial capital once calculated that with the population growth rate of the empire 10 years ago, it would take at least 1,000 years to completely digest this land. ”

Phil nodded, typically greedy and unchewable.

Edward continued: "On the other hand, the other races still take the steppe wolf as an example.

The total population is almost 20 times that of us, but the land area is only 2/3 of ours.

Each time they were on the side, they could easily gather an army of millions and pounce on us from any of the dozen or so gaps possible.

Like an ant colony, the scene of cavalry gathering under the border city all over the mountains, I have lived to be 50 years old this year, and I have seen it at least three times, the last time was when you were four years old.

You must know that although we have a population of 100 million, less than one-third of them are men, and less than one-fifth of these one-third men are suitable for training as warriors.

But while the combat power of every Ward warrior is strong, the consumption is also amazing, and with the national strength of the empire, it is simply impossible to afford such a huge military expenditure. ”

Phil's expression was a little heavy, he was a little worried about his father Matthew, you can imagine the tragedy of the last big battle, but neither Catherine nor Matthew said anything to him.

I only know that my father was promoted to the Great Knight, and it was after that.

Edward took a sip of the tea soup, and shook his head as if he was not satisfied with the tea that had cooled down.

"Let's talk about talent awakening. You know, body strengthening is nothing more than more strength, faster speed, longer stamina and some other branches.

For example, the eagle sparrow's eyesight, the Tasmanian devil's keen sense of smell. ”

"But no matter which aspect of the awakening is the first, it will bring about a huge change in the strength and structure of the entire body, which is why every awakened warrior is so valuable.

As for the perceptual enhancement like your mother's, it is not classified as physical reinforcement.

This kind of intellectual and spiritual enhancement is very rare, and it is more suitable for the work of the temple. ”

"And what about my father? you know?" Before he knew it, Phil had taken on an honorific title.

"I don't know, I only know that his nickname is Hawkeye, and it's not a descendant of your Snape family.

In addition, I want to remind you that the specific situation of each person's awakening is the biggest secret of this person, and you should also be careful not to ask casually in the future. ”

"What are the innate abilities of our Snape family?" Phil thought strange, as he had never heard Matthew or Brad say.

"Of course, I know because it's not a secret, the whole empire knows it, it's just that few people talk about it now.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the legend of your Snape family, Lord O'Snape.

His talent is a very rare all-attribute enhancement.

Legend has it that at his peak, he was able to increase his strength, speed, reflexes, stamina, and recovery by eight times.

When fully activated, the hair and beard will swell, like a mad lion, hence the name of the mad lion.

Unfortunately, after him, the lineage is not stable, otherwise your family will not be just a hereditary earl. ”

Isn't this the legendary madness?

"Is there a period of weakness after madness?" he wanted to find out if there was a CD limit to this cheating skill.

"Madness?well, that's a kind of aptly named.

I haven't heard of it, but when you're older, you can ask your grandfather, Earl Brad, in detail.

After all, all I can tell you is a public thing that has been circulating in the border city for a long time.

The circumstances are, in fact, secrets that only the people of your family know. Edward's tone sounded a little envious.

Phil remembered that although the person in front of him was a trainee knight, he had not awakened, and it was inevitable that he would have some emotions.

Edward did not dwell on it and continued to lecture: "Although the ability to awaken is strange, not all of them are suitable for becoming a warrior, or rather, the ability to awaken is not necessarily practical.

For example, a friend of mine first awakened when he was 25 years old.

His ability is to strengthen his legs, and when activated, he can run faster and jump higher.

But on the battlefield, this ability of his will be artificially weakened. ”

"Why?"

"The army is different from the fighting of hooligans, no matter how high your martial arts skills and how strong your ability is, in the frontal battlefield with the participation of tens of thousands of people, you must rely on the battle formation you are in, and rely on the Pang Ze brothers around you.

When charging in the queue, moving too fast can tear apart your battle formation, leaving you alone surrounded by enemies.

At the same time, the gap you leave behind will also become a weak point in the battle formation and be taken advantage of by the enemy.

Of course, if you're a high-level fighter on more advanced tactical missions, you won't be bothered by this, and it may instead be your one-hit killer.

It's a pity that this friend of mine has only had time to awaken once in his life. ”

Phil was a little silent, looking at the loneliness on Edward's face, he could guess that the other party's friend might have died in battle.

Edward glanced at the sadness on the little fat man's face, and laughed: "Don't be sad, my friend is not a soldier."

He was the only Ramball star in my hometown, and now he's the boss, contracting all the mail business in our town.

In fact, if it weren't for my health, I would have planned to go back and follow him. ”

"......" Phil really wanted to splash the cold tea soup on this fat face at this moment.

Edward laughed for a while, and seemed to think that teasing the little fat man was a very funny thing, but his mouth was serious:

"This example is to show you that whether any ability is strong or not depends on where it is used.

Some people wake up early, some people wake up later, some people are more capable and some people are weaker, and we can never predict how many times we can wake up in our lives.

So, instead of waiting for Gaia, the Mother Earth Goddess, to give us the talent we want, we must prepare in advance.

At this stage, physical training is to prepare you for your awakening.

Believe me, this is something I've been working on for years. ”

Speaking of the last sentence, Edward seemed to be really a little touched, and the fat on his cheeks trembled a little.

Phil, who had been tricked once, decided to sprinkle some salt on his wound.

"If you had to choose, what natural ability would you want?" the little fat man leaned over his little face with an innocent and curious expression.

Sure enough, the fat on Edward's face trembled even more, glared at Phil fiercely, sighed lightly and said, "Of course it's a strong wall." ”

The strong wall, which sounds like the name of a sand sculpture, should be a defensive ability from the name.

"As the name suggests, a strong wall refers to exercising the body to resemble a hard wall.

This ability is the innate ability of Lord Duke Belen, the founder of the Strongwall Legion, one of the four great protector legions of the Empire.

When he was still the commander of the Earl's Division, in order to strengthen the defense capabilities of the soldiers, he cooperated with the temple to jointly study and summarize a set of methods.

It allows warriors to consciously awaken to this type of talent through specific training and meditation.

This talent has proven to be highly popular among warriors, and it is the most important strategic weapon of our Wards.

After he became a marquis, he even formed a systematic lesson plan for the recovery of the high-level abilities of the strong wall, which was promoted in the army, which greatly improved the survival rate of the imperial soldiers on the battlefield. ”
