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 59: Cannon Rampart_3

Winters paced to the top of the battery, where heavy guns were arrayed inside the sturdy fortress, and smaller caliber cannons were exposed to the elements here.

He sat on the low wall, and the sea under the moonlight appeared a deep black, with a solitary warship adrift on the waters. That very warship was the one that had just bombarded Duckbill Fort, yet for some reason, it hadn't joined the battle at the docks.

The docks were ablaze by now, as Haidong Port served as Vineta Navy's home base, not only a supply harbor but also the location of the Vineta Navy's shipyards.

Buildings inside the harbor had been engulfed by flames, and Winters could only spot one ship berthed, burning fiercely. The attackers were in the shipyard, setting fire to the laid keels and the ships under repair.
