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 80 One Day

The vanguard marched a whole day's journey ahead of the main force.

On the first day, they advanced along the southern bank of the Confluence River.

Downstream, the riverbanks were strewn with Herder corpses that had been washed ashore. Every few steps, Winters could see new swollen bodies.

Many crows and vultures rushed over for a feast, pecking at the rotten flesh with abandon while keeping a close watch on the living passing before them.

"Looking at what!" Xial, unable to bear it any longer, picked up a stone and threw it at the crows.

The black birds screeched horribly and took flight with a flap, circling above Paratu's army.

The other militia members also started picking up stones and flinging them at crows and vultures.

Winters did not issue any orders to stop them.

"Looking at what?" he thought somberly, "Food."

...

Shortly after the dispute between Winters and Haug had resolved, a messenger returned with the final decision from the two generals.
