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 31 Horse Palm Ivan

```

The battle at the ford had ended, and two Dusacks dragged a man with an oval scar on his face, not yet dead, to the side of the lieutenant.

"I will only ask once," Winters, who was sitting on a large rock and wiping his saber, said without lifting his head, "where is your hideout?"

The four captured bandits knelt before the lieutenant shivering, while the bow-and-crossbow-wielding people of Wolf Town stood angrily around the prisoners.

With a superior number, the people of Wolf Town could easily deal with the bandit gang of thirty or forty men once they were effectively organized.

With a single charge led by Winters and his cavalry, the bandits, who had just been acting fiercely, scattered like birds and beasts.

When Gerard arrived with the rear guard, the battle completely turned into a rout of the fleeing enemy.

The four surviving bandits were lucky because they were personally captured by the lieutenant who wanted to keep a few alive for interrogation.
