Steel, Explosives, and Spellcasters

Is Magic really just a wish machine? No! In a universe where Magic truly exists, the ultimate nature of Magic must be as simple and aesthetically pleasing as the laws of physics. This is the story of a mass-produced magical war tool who learned the ultimate nature of Magic. But what of it? Just as birds can fly without understanding aerodynamics, magicians can use Magic without grasping its ultimate nature. Learning the ultimate nature of Magic doesn't mean the tool can instantly transform into a great magician. But yearning for knowledge is a human instinct, and curiosity is the primary driving force of human civilization. Even for Magic, which should seemingly defy explanation, humans hope to understand its inherent operational laws. The pursuit of Magic's ultimate nature requires no reason! The story in this book takes place in an era where steel and gunpowder dance together. Here, firearms are on the rise; armor remains the main character; military theory is changing rapidly, with endless innovations in systems and techniques. And this world has something more than ours: Magic. The world is undergoing a profound transformation, and no one can remain detached from it...

Chapter 22 Resistance to Taxation

With the current storage in Revodan, there is more than enough to meet the quota demanded by Maplestone City.

But...

"Don't give them anything! Damn it! Not a single grain!" Andre shouted angrily, "They send a piece of paper over and expect us to obediently hand over grain and money? What if they demand our lives next? Should we give those too?"

Winters fiddled with a small knife, "I think that even if we give them the grain, Adams would still send his troops."

On the matter of refusing to send grain, the six of them reached a consensus without needing discussion.

Refusing to give up the grain is easy, but what should they do next?

The current situation is fraught with internal and external troubles.

Outside, in Vernge County and Mont Blanc County, at least eight large enemy squads are gathering.

Inside, the displaced people are a powder keg that could explode at any moment, and Revodan is similarly rife with undercurrents.
