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...

In reality, Iron Peak County is situated at the northern foot of the Golden Summit Mountain range; it is the last ripple of the mountains with uneven terrain and limited pathways suited for large-scale cavalry movements.


Based on this, Winters had his main forces deployed in three critical "throat areas," while he, himself, was stationed at [the Dagger's Wall].


The second and fourth companies, along with the militia support brigade, were stationed where the cavalry could best be deployed—because the main artery of Iron Peak County ran right through here.


Tie Chi and the other Terdon Nayens couldn't see what was happening on the other side of the wall.


This wall not only blocked the warhorses but also obstructed the Terdon people's line of sight, preventing them from knowing the defenders' deployment.
