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 15 Civil War

The Revodan troops sent to "quell the chaos" found themselves in a dilemma.

Major Ronald, Apel, and all the Revodan officers still subconsciously regarded Winters as a "bandit."

Since ancient times, it has always been the officials who suppressed the bandits; when have bandits ever dared to suppress the officials?

"No matter the situation in Revodan, it's too late for us to go back to support now," Major Ronald clenched the hilt of his sword, his eyes full of bloodshot veins, "This diversionary tactic by Montaigne couldn't have been devised in just a day or two... we underestimated him!"

The Centurions were equally dumbfounded.

"So what if it's a diversionary tactic?" Captain Apel tried to downplay the situation as lightly as possible, "With just that small number of men, can they actually occupy Revodan? At most, they'll just steal some things."
