Yin Zidian

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...

"Yes." Winters patted Heinrich on the shoulder, "This is the first step to dealing with the people of Terdun. The enemy has more soldiers, we have fewer; the enemy is strong, we are weak; the enemy attacks, we defend.


We must first find ways to weaken the enemy before we can have the power to fight. Aren't you called the fire-maker? Just right to set a fire for you—The two lieutenants are doing exactly this in the no-man's land."


Xial asked with a pained expression, "What about Shovel Port? Are we just going to ignore it?"


"No need to mind it," Winters dismissed with a wave of his hand, "The town mayor of Shovel Port Town is the old soldier Dusack, with thousands of able-bodied refugees under his command. Isn't he busy training the refugees lately? With two companies of militia at hand, if they can't even block the river mouth, they might as well die early."


"If he dies, he dies, but what about the people of Shovel Port?" Xial felt uneasy, "Should we not gather our troops first?"
