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

The proverb says, "To get rich, build a road first."

But the Venetians' purpose in building a road on Red Sulfur Island would certainly not be to stimulate local economic growth.

"Build a road?" Winters, just awake, was still a bit groggy, "What road?"

"A standard Guzhi Road, from Red Sulfur Harbor to Tachi," Andre said cheerfully, "A joint order from the two major generals, no mistake. Hey, no matter what road we're building, at least we're not stuck being clerks!"

"Hmm." Winters rubbed his eyes, trying hard to think about the true purpose of the road construction. Suddenly, he sighed and said, "I think I've figured out what's going on... It looks like the higher-ups have made up their minds to besiege the city."

Red Sulfur Island is a typical volcanic island; the island itself is a huge volcano. Thus, from the coast of Red Sulfur Island, the elevation increases as one goes inland.
