Chapter 295
Magic.
Its powerful and mysterious power fascinated many people, but it was impossible for everyone to become a wizard.
A body capable of recognizing mana and naturally absorbing it into the body and accumulating it.
The power of dominance to understand the laws and cycles of nature and the universe, and to freely move mana.
A monstrous intelligence capable of performing meticulous and complex formulas and calculations in an instant.
Only those who belonged to the category of geniuses who possessed all the talents without missing one could learn magic, and the ruling system of these elite groups was as hard and firm as a huge fortress.
[Those who have the talent to become wizards are entitled to enter the magic academy of each city, even if they have the status of slaves or serfs. Also, you can acquire the rights of a freedman through a certain period of service.]
[Wizards follow the laws and rules established by the Mage Tower, except for specific situations. No country can restrict or suppress the freedom of wizards.]
[All wizards are given divine rights and duties as Noblesses blessed with mana. No one can deprive or give up those rights and duties.]
A world where you get tremendous rights and privileges just because you are a wizard, regardless of your social status. That's why the NPCs who are residents of Arcadia hoped and dreamed of becoming wizards, but most of them were frustrated because they couldn't overcome the huge magical entry barrier.
[Ehh..... It's a pity, I'm sorry. With your understanding and insight, it seems that you will be able to become a high-ranking wizard someday, but your body, which cannot easily accept mana, is holding you back.] [Hey, you damn student
. With such an enormous mana affinity, why the hell is the head so stupid? How many days does it take to memorize one circle formula?]
For various reasons, those who have not achieved their dream of becoming a wizard. They didn't have genius talent in all areas, but that's why they came up with a new idea amidst the intense regret.
[Then, shouldn't it be possible to use magic even for non-magicians?]
Magical engineering was born that way. Since it was a study derived from stragglers with imperfect talents, this idea of researching how to implement magic using an artificial material called mana stone had to be ridiculed and despised by real magicians.
[Do you want to use magic because people without talent do that?]
[It's pitiful. The things that can't even make a circle in the heart are magic? With trivial things like that?]
[You can't become a person who explores and realizes the true truth with such residual skills.]
Magic engineers who have always been treated as non-mainstream and have been evaluated and treated as much as magic assistants who use pseudo-magic that give mana stones. field.
However, this huge storm of change that was now blowing in the Gael Federation was overturning the game of magic science in a completely different way than before.
Kwaaang kwaang. puffer puffer.
The allied forces of the Shoen Empire and the Peros Empire collapsed in gray from the ceaseless rain of mana stone shells and a huge storm of magic exploding with tremendous roar and destructive power.
Their plan to devour the Korean continent, including the Gael Federation, at once, even with a large army of 3 million, began to go awry from the start.
“What the hell is that weapon!”
Duke Daiven, the commander-in-chief in charge of commanding the combined forces of the Shōen Empire and the Ferros Empire, and the highest commander in this battle.
He shouted with a face in astonishment at the tremendous destructive power and hundreds of thousands of cannonballs raining non-stop from the walls of the Gael Federation far away.
“It seems that the Gael Federation’s new weapon that some adventurers have been talking about is that!”
A call from an unknown staff member. With a powerful roar here and there, huge piles of dirt exploded and shockwaves rushed in, making it impossible to wake up in a tense situation. Watching the scene, he surveyed the situation on the battlefield with disbelief eyes and groaned.
“The vanguard troops were completely wiped out, so that was true...?”
Duke Daiven had planned to take over the Gael Federation first by putting hundreds of thousands of adventurers at the forefront. However, contrary to his expectations, they failed to occupy any area of the Gael Federation.
A level of defeat that is truly unprecedented in history.
When he first heard the report, he couldn't believe it at all, but now he could understand it as he watched the combined forces of the two empires fall like leaves in the autumn wind.
Overwhelming range and tremendous destructive power reminiscent of astonishment.
I don't know how the hell he launched such an attack, but he had no choice but to drive a huge army to dog death before the war started properly by making an unreasonable rush in this situation, so he ordered it.
“All retreat. Let’s reorganize the battle lines and launch another attack.”
“All right. All troops retreat! All troops retreat!”
When the Duke of Daven's order was issued, the sound of the trumpet, which meant retreat, reverberated here and there, and the troops hurriedly retreated. Even in the chaotic battlefield, the allied forces retreated in perfect order, but the feast of mana stone shells pouring into them did not stop easily.
“Shoot them all! Pour it all out!”
“These... don't know the fear of our Canon Philia School, where dare you crawl in!”
“fire power! fire power! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
“Magic! turrets! universe! defense!”
Magic engineers frantically firing mana stone shells at the allied forces advancing from several kilometers away. Unlike the first battle, when he was terrified and running around with a face full of fear and tension to survive, repairing and operating the turret, Jae-young felt a strange madness in their shouts now.
“Master... how come these bastards don’t seem to be enjoying this?”
“I know....?”
An overwhelming battle that wouldn't be strange even if it was a one-sided massacre.
However, unlike normal wars, the faces of those who operated magic turrets from a distance of several kilometers where the enemies could not be seen properly began to feel slightly different feelings than the horrors or guilt of these wars.
Magical engineers who have been neglected and ignored for decades and hundreds of years. For those who suffered from the innumerable invasions of foreign powers, pride and pride in their own victories came first, rather than pity and sympathy for the enemies who fell mercilessly far away.
“Long live the Canonphilia school!”
“Master Heimer! hurray! Long live the magic turret!”
“Gael Federation! Live forever!”
Truly, the perfect realization of self-reliant national defense.
Through this battle, which unfilteredly proved the effectiveness of space defense based on magic turrets, they clearly showed the strategic value of magic engineering technology and the tremendous efficiency and tactical ability of magic bombardment to all countries and adventurers on the entire continent of Arcadia. gave.
The fact that victory in the future war will be determined by the presence or absence of magic turrets.
“Thank you so much brother.”
Heimer, who had come to his side before he knew it, was smiling indescribably.
Jaeyoung smiled and asked at his expression, which seemed to be a little lighter than before.
“what?”
“It's just... everything. He saved my life, believed in my theory, and protected the Gael Federation...” It wasn't a
very long time, but Haimer seemed to have received so much help throughout his life that he couldn't repay it. He mumbled in a small voice like an ant crawling, not knowing what to say, mumbling and speechless.
“If you are grateful, the Gael Federation will be well managed in the future. I mean, don't divide and fight with each other like before, and live while mutually helping each other. Like that, each city divides factions, fights and politicizes, and then ruins the country again?”
“My me?”
Haimer asked Jaeyoung's words back with a surprised face. Jaeyoung asked him as if he didn't know.
“Isn’t it obvious? You are now a master of a school. We should build and expand our own forces so that the name of Canon Philia is not ashamed.”
Each school represents each city, and the Gael Federation is divided into dozens. However, having no intention of leaving it as it is, he gave a mission to the bewildered Hymer.
“Seize the entire Gael Federation as soon as possible. You can use the knowledge from Kervenian's spell book, or if things don't work out, you can coax them with magic materials like mana stones and mithril, so be smart and put all those people under the name of the Canonphilia School.”
“That's like that...”
An enormous task to take over the entire Gael Federation. Haimer was sweating with an expression of lack of confidence that he could do it, but Jaeyoung was very firm.
“Don't think you can't. Those are probably completely stained by you or the Canon Philia School.”
“yes....?”
Haimer asks Jaeyoung's words back with a puzzled expression. And when he turned his head in the direction Jaeyoung was pointing with his chin, he could find a group of magic engineers who were thrilled with a sense of victory.
“This is it! This was the path to true magical engineering!”
“Through strong firepower, it makes it so that no one dares to even think of attacking...”
“I didn’t know it before, but now I think I know what self-defense means!”
“If I had this... I'm sure even those Mage Towers could be wrung out?”
“Ha ha ha ha... Bigger! stronger!”
“The turret! These magic turrets are the true truth of magical engineering!”
Magical Engineers who seem to have been planted with a completely distorted mindset due to this war. Heimer trembled at the oddly creepy unpleasant feeling he felt deep in his chest when he saw those men with flushed faces, gasping for breath and touching the turret.
And seeing them like that, Tan secretly took out a black scroll and started scribbling a memo in bloody letters.
“Humans like strong firepower..... Obsessed with being bigger and stronger as much as possible... A good way to corrupt humans is to commit massacres with powerful explosions...
” Tan recording the lessons learned. Seeing him, the lord of hell and a symbol of corruption, look as if he has attained a great realization, the magic engineers of the Canonphilia school seem to have cut off the ticket to the express train of hell.
Jaeyoung was very worried about their afterlife, but he shook his head with a wry smile and said to Haimer.
“In the future, the Gael Federation will be flooded with adventurers. So be prepared.”
“yes. Are you saying to mass-produce the mana cannon from last time?”
“okay. Rip it off as much as possible by overpricing the price, and sell as much as you can anyway. They also sell replacement mana stones at high prices.”
After watching Jaeyoung's video, countless adventurers rush towards the Gael Federation.
Jae-young, who expected that it would soon become crowded because of them, was thinking of leaving this place first.
“Where... are you going...?”
“huh. We must go to end this war soon.”
“yes....? how....?”
Haimer looks at Jae-young, who seems to be preparing to leave somewhere, with a curious look. Jaeyoung replied to him with a very evil smile.
“I gathered all the troops and came here, but we have to do at least robbing empty houses.”
