Chapter 836: Section 556: North (2)
"There’s nothing much to instruct," Malin quickly recreated the events of that day on the sand table with practiced ease.
Watching those sand figurine soldiers repeat the battle, the members of the command center looked at Malin as if he was a visitor from the Outer Domain.
"Your Excellency Malin, your mastery over Spiritual Energy is truly breathtaking, but..." Marshal Constantine, full of puzzlement, said to Malin, "Your Excellency, isn’t this... isn’t this a bit too simplistic?"
Malin was about to say something but held back—indeed, the sand table demonstration of Spiritual Energy couldn’t provide them with a true understanding of it all. So, Malin took out a Recording Magic Crystal—this was given to him by the Mage from the Mage Tower after the battle as a memento of the great war.
Only then did Malin realize that while the Mages were messing around in front of everyone, they had actually sent someone to report from the battlefield.
With this device, the gentlemen of the Northern Kingdom, both young and old, could finally see for themselves the destruction that a well-armed force could inflict upon an army with cold weapons, from an elevated position with an unobstructed field of fire—without mentioning the Semi-automatic firearms and bolt-action rifles, or the machine guns that could spray bullets like water, just the group of hundreds in the Mage Corps was enough to make the military envious.
Faced with such firepower, the Black Orcs were nothing more than walking targets.
Thus, what was a proper debriefing turned into a brand-new round of weapons trade show, where the affluent Nobles favored the machine guns. Though these gold-devouring beasts were the greatest enemy of their wallets, they triumphed in the supremacy of firepower. Against the intersecting fire, the Chaos Folk had no choice but to fill the defensive line with their wretched lives.
Some well-to-do Nobles liked the artillery. They felt that the chaotic troop charges and those troublesome Chaotic Sorcerers could be easily dispatched with a few rounds from these weapons. Although the sustained fire power could not compare with that of machine guns, they had the advantage of achieving practical results without spending too much money.
