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 94: Want to Siege? First Build the Road_2

Even after the battle was over, they could continue to collect tolls... because the Vineta Army had the right to impose tolls on the Guzhi Roads they constructed, partly using the fees for road maintenance and partly as additional income which went straight into the army's treasury.

This law was originally intended to encourage the Army to engage more in infrastructure construction. As a result, the Guzhi Roads between the major cities of Vineta had become one of the most important sources of revenue for the Army... The most wonderful part was that this income was not included in the military budget, allowing the Army to use it as they pleased... Therefore, the splendid Army headquarters could actually be said to have been built on the sweat of the soldiers working on the roads.

"Where is my mind wandering to..." Winters shook his still somewhat groggy head, hastily straightened his attire, took the newly issued sword from the rack, and said to Andre, "Let's go."
