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...

Steel, Explosives, and Spellcasters

The people of Terdun, upon bursting into Vernge County, scattered like mercury spilled on the ground.


The Vernge County's defense forces, lacking cavalry, were caught in a passive situation where they "could fight but couldn't chase."


If it came to setting up a formation and engaging in an upright battle, the numerically inferior Paratu army could still send the people from Terdun scampering in retreat.


But the Herders had always been "not ashamed to flee"; wherever the resistance was fierce, they would simply avoid it—should reinforcements arrive at one place, they would move to another.


There were only about a hundred Piaoqi Troops in Vernge County, while the first wave of invaders from Terdun numbered fourteen Tulus—over a thousand cavalry.


A squadron of Piaoqi could not possibly handle so many enemy riders and might even risk being devoured if they weren't careful.
