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 104: Reverse Process

Rost Layton executed the prisoners with wooden stakes that nightfall, Winters attended a secret meeting in the camp.

The secret meeting took place inside the legion's treasury, which, like the headquarters, was located in the center of the field camp and was one of the most important buildings. It had a semi-underground structure with the best sound insulation, which was why it was chosen for the meeting.

There were no clerks, no orderlies, not even guards— they were arranged to stand more than five meters away.

Aside from the two legion commanders, the attendees all held dual roles: they were both the most trusted officers of Antonio and Layton, as well as senior spellcasters.

Technically, Winters didn't qualify to participate in such a high-level meeting — at least the others were majors, and he was just a junior warrant officer.

But he had to be there. Because... he was the key party involved, the eyewitness, and the witness.
