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 26 Gold Bars and the Draft Lottery_2

"The village of Wolfton under the jurisdiction of the Federated Counties is obliged to provide militia as support troops when the New Reclamation Legion needs them,"

Stripped of its verbose formalities, the specific content of the request was that Wolfton provide a full hundred-man militia, with no weapons required on their part, and conscription limited to able-bodied males between the ages of 15 and 35.

The muster rolls had to be sent to Revodan town's garrison by October 15, with the exact assembly location and time to be notified separately.

The tone of this levying order didn't seem to come from the Republic; it rather resembled the demands of a noble from the old times, requiring his vassals to fulfill their fealty.

They were only concerned with taking men, with no regard for anything else.

It's known that the less detailed the instructions and the broader the mandate, the more leeway is left to the executors.
