Iron Powder and Spellcaster

Many people who have read it recently are confused about The Scroll of Galloping Horses. Let me briefly share my opinions. Let's talk about Winters at this time. He is a little person, a military student who has just graduated from the military academy. He is about the same age or even much younger than many readers. He does have an uncle who is a general, but it doesn't matter to the United Provinces. If they start a fight, it doesn't matter who you are (not to mention that the United Provinces don't know). More than ten years of military school career (imagine that you have attended military schools from elementary school to university) and the words and deeds of his elders have given him a sense of responsibility as a soldier, which makes him not disobey orders, even if his future is uncertain; it also gives him the ability to empathize with ordinary soldiers. When soldiers entrust their lives to him, he will shoulder this responsibility and not let them die in vain. He values ​​loyalty, cherishes his friends, respects his superiors, sympathizes with his subordinates, and fights bravely. This is simply the template of a model officer, but this is the man who turned against him after going through hellish wars. It can only be said that a person's destiny depends not only on personal struggle, but also on the process of history. Then there is the title of the volume. The author expresses the theme of this volume in the title: galloping horse. The wave in the first volume not only represents Veneta's conquest of the islands, but also implies that storms are coming within the alliance, and also implies that Winters was swept up by the wave in the course of this era. At the beginning of the second volume, Winters and his classmates experienced the training of the war and returned to school with the victory of the archipelago. He enjoyed the future and thought of inviting his former teacher back to Veneta to teach magic. But fate, like a runaway wild horse, brought him to the unfamiliar border of Plato. This is also the theme of the second volume, both the magnificence of the Platoon's galloping horse and the fate that drags him to the ground like a galloping horse. He also thought about escaping home to avoid being so arrogant, but his instinct of obeying orders (which at best means going with the flow, at worst means going with the flow) kept him here. He took office full of complaints, but was left behind by the enthusiastic mayor and Dusak, the simple villagers, and the nagging old stickman. He has done his job well here and left his mark. He is free and unrestrained here. He fought against lions and bears with everyone, delivered goods with everyone, talked freely while roasting pork, was educated by the old magician, and felt the joy of pastoral life in this civilized frontier. But the galloping horse will not stop to eat grass easily, it will only drag you and leave you covered with bruises. With an order from the Kings' Castle, Winters set off with the militia that he personally trained and respected him very much. He could call each of them by name. He knew the family situation of each of them. His soldiers trusted him, and he protected his soldiers with wisdom and courage. But what greeted them was not simple labor work, but bloody battles. Winters is not fighting for the so-called Plato government. He is fighting for his own responsibility and the soldiers he brought out. Therefore, when facing wave after wave of enemy attacks, Winters, who knows that he cannot stop it, will not let his soldiers defend the pontoon. Instead, he will launch a mutiny against his superior, Lieutenant Colonel Jessica, whom he respects. Perhaps at this moment, the seeds of resistance have sprouted and will bear fruit after Winters returns to Plato. The Plato Expeditionary Army has a total of more than 28,000 people, including more than 10,000 auxiliary soldiers and civilians. After the expeditionary force returned, only eleven thousand were left. More than 8,000 auxiliaries were killed or abandoned on the west bank of the River Styx. Sackler's behavior of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge can be said to be for the sake of the overall situation, abandoning the auxiliary troops and preserving the effective forces. But I think every abandoned auxiliary has the right to take revenge on him, so the Ghost of Styx was born. Winters never fought for the Republic of Raushi Plato. He had no hatred against the Heds. In fact, the Heds were kind to him. His appearance on the battlefield was just driven by the duty of a soldier and responsible for his subordinates. The bloody battles had worn out his heart, and the deaths of his subordinates made him feel that he had to shoulder it all. Therefore, after the bridge collapsed, he truly realized that his own destiny must be controlled by himself, rather than die because of a simple word from a big shot. After he returns to Plato, he can return to Veneta with his honor as Brother Red said. But he chose revenge, not only against Sackler, but also against the system and the people behind all this, "Sackler! Do you think this matter! Will end like this?" This is the cry of a man who is tortured in his heart, a wandering powerful spellcaster who is out of control, unwilling to accept his fate. This cry will turn into a roar that resounds throughout the league and even the world in the monsoon!

It's been a long time since I've written a long review for a book. "Steel Gunpowder and the Spellcaster" is my White Moonlight. I first read this book in my second year of high school, and now I have read it for the fourth time, and I still find it interesting. Like the title of this book, this book mainly tells a story about soldiers and war. The protagonist Winters, as an officer cadet of the Senas Alliance and a selected spellcaster, participated in a series of wars and became a qualified leader from an ordinary low-level officer. The first half of the book mainly tells the story of the two wars that the protagonist participated in as a soldier, and depicts the story of the protagonist's transformation from a soldier who only knows how to obey to a person who thinks independently. The second half describes how he, as a leader, leads those who trust him to rise in this era of crisis. Chair Cushion took a different approach when choosing the topic of this book, avoiding the medieval background that is common in fantasy themes, and choosing a time background around the Thirty Years' War to build an imaginary world based on the real world. Due to the special topic selection, the war description in this book is very innovative in the online literature world. Muskets and artillery began to be widely used on the battlefield, but they have not yet replaced the status of swords. Cold weapons and gunpowder weapons coexisted on the battlefield. Primitive and advanced coexisted in this era. The existence of spellcasters has added variables to this world. Although this book belongs to a very low-magic setting, it can even be said that the most useful spell of a spellcaster is the amplification spell used to convey orders on the battlefield, but the emergence of spells from various schools does add a bit of mystery to this magnificent era. From the construction of the world view, we can see the author's rigorous attitude and solid historical foundation. The prototypes of each country in his writing can be found in reality. The United Provinces are the Netherlands, Veneta corresponds to Venice, Plato is the fusion of Hungary and Eastern European countries, and the Empire neta HRE. He constructed a reasonable political pattern and wrote about the conflicts and contradictions in various countries in a profound and reasonable way. The United Provinces are mired in militarism, the Grand Alliance is divided, and Plato is full of internal contradictions. The characters of each faction have reasonable actions, making the world view large but not empty. The author's description of the customs and customs of various places can be described in detail, from the changes in etiquette, the personalities of people of various countries, the clothing and beliefs of various ethnic groups, the germination of new ideas, and even the guilds in the city and the shoe guilds of farmers. This rarely mentioned history is described, completely showing the modern social outlook. In the process, the author conducted in-depth research, and every detail is supported by detailed historical data, from the structure of the galley warship to the records of modern swordsmanship to the civil engineering methods of the modern army. At the same time, the author also knows a lot of knowledge closely related to the production and life at that time, such as the construction method of blast furnaces for modern iron smelting, how to choose suitable plowshares for various soil types, the need to store sword bars for a long time to release stress, and the emergence of the gold standard and credit bonds. It can be said that although this book is covered with fantasy, it is essentially a historical documentary that completely shows the production and life at that time. The author also mentions many historical figures, such as the scientists Lavoisier and Huygens, the legendary French engineering master Sebastian Vauban, and the legend of the Hussite War, Jessica. The appearance of these people also gives this book a sense of history. While describing the world view in detail, the author also wrote a vivid story. The undercurrent of Aquamarine City in the first volume, the tragedy of the Bloody Wilderness in the second volume, and the rebirth of Tiefeng County from the fire in the third volume. Each story has a reasonable driving force and development direction. There are many impressive plots in it, such as the Hed's dance on the River Styx in the first volume, Winters' thousand-mile revenge in the second volume, the white lion's rejection of the throne in the third volume, and the marching song of the Great Alliance in the fourth volume. The description of the characters is even more penetrating. The author perfectly displays the image of a protagonist who is neither humble nor overbearing, bloody yet tender, and extremely responsible, and shows Winters' growth process. He will take the lead in the battle, stop the indiscriminate killing of friendly forces after the war, be sad after the death of a friend, be distressed in love, choose twelve knights to attack thousands of people in order to protect the people important to him, and stand up to resist oppression when witnessing the suffering of the people who accepted him. Through words, it is as if a living person is telling the reader a story of his own personal experience. At the same time, every character written by the author is also very three-dimensional. The impulsive but loyal Andre, the calm and determined Bud, the gentle Senior Mason, the patriotic and selfless General Serbetti, the far-sighted and open-minded Brother Rhett, the heroic old Dussac Gilad... The most prominent among them should be Winters' old enemy, the white lion Yasin. As an enemy and ally of Winters, the White Lion is not a villain in the traditional sense, but a character full of vivid personality and charm. He is even the second protagonist of this book. He has a broad mind and lofty ideals. As a leader, he has very high morals and kindness. He will When he was besieged and lacked supplies, he still accepted the old and weak women and children who were driven into the city by the enemy. He would refuse the request for marriage from a strong neighbor in order to take care of his sister. He would unconditionally release the captive protagonist in order to repay his kindness. When the tribes supported him to become the king of Khan, he would laugh and refuse. In the world of online literature, it is rare to see such a three-dimensional villain with such charismatic personality. At the same time, Anna, the heroine of this book, also breaks away from the flat character creation of ordinary books. With the help of Anna, the author shows the face of Aquamarine City, the rise of free love, the emergence of the women's liberation movement and capitalism, and shows people's living conditions after the Renaissance. At the same time, as one of the main characters, Anna has a strong will and extraordinary courage. She will go thousands of miles to question Winters after he gives his farewell letter. She will overwhelm her opponents with her extraordinary wisdom in business. She will see at a glance what is wrong with the government's economic policy. She will yearn for love but will not be carried away. At the same time, the author will also add some quotations from famous works, such as "Gone with the Wind", "Quiet on the Don" and "Anna Karenina", which can be found in this book, both in writing style and story. In fact, in my humble opinion, this book has reached the edge of traditional literature in terms of writing, plot, characterization, historical depiction, and depth of thought. It can even be compared with the fantasy classics in the world. Its rigorous historical research and accumulation of historical knowledge can be said to be unique in the entire Qidian. As an online book, its quality can be said to be outstanding. So I assert that people who have not watched Steel Fire Law are doomed to live a relatively failed life (bushi) So why haven't the chair cushions been updated yet Evaluations Writing Level 4 Plot Level 5 Characterization 5 Background Setting 5 Comprehensive Evaluation 5 Special selling points: Extremely hard-core, special topic selection, the author will match each character with cat figures, and will also add pictures to the book

When I discovered this good book and read it with gusto, I suddenly saw that the latest update was a month ago, and the last update was in August last year... My mood at this moment is really hard to express in words Damn eunuch! (Amplification) I will no longer read this eunuch work The best way to forget a relationship is to start a new one I hope everyone will share with me the good books you are reading 🌹

Yin's Purple Lightning is a genius in online writing. When he first started writing, he used the power of wind and thunder to melt steel, gunpowder, and magic in a furnace to create the masterpiece "The Spellcaster". The text is like a star hanging upside down, strange and majestic: a fire tornado burns the city and cracks the armor, the cold-forged armor craftsman vomits blood, the caster reveals his heart and asks the devil, and there is a subtle humanity hidden in the battle. Readers rushed to tell each other, saying that he "uses science to solve mysteries, and uses warm blood to temper cold iron." The book review area was like a mountain and a tsunami, and the monthly ticket list looked down upon the heroes. At that time, Yin Zi raised his arms and called out, and the responders gathered. Six thousand book friends were waiting day and night, thinking that the great chapter was about to be completed! **However, its prosperity is booming, and its demise is also sudden! ** Yin Zi relied on his talents and was arrogant. His writing was like playing chess, and his moves were often stuck in ten-year situations. Updates were like the monsoon, coming and going based on the rise and fall of the moment. At first he said, "There is something going on at home," and then he said, "The bottleneck is difficult to break," and then he disappeared from the world. Book lovers are worried, and they may imitate Qu Zi and ask the sky: "How long will it take for the next update to be published?" Or imitate Yu Rang and say, "It would be better to break the book than to leave it unfinished!" There are even more idiots who dig up old chapters like archeology and interpret its foreshadowing like astrology. However, Yinzi turned a blind eye and occasionally appeared in the crowd, throwing half a chapter of the incomplete manuscript as bait, making the readers burst into tears. Soon he escaped, and the jokes about "year update" and "fraudulent corpse" spread among the people. ** Sigh! ** In the past, when Jia Sheng discussed the Qin Dynasty, he said that it was "not benevolent and righteous, but its offensive and defensive potential was different." Isn't it the same reason for Yin Zi's loss today? Relying on talent will lead to light promises, and light promises will lead to lack of faith; lack of trust will cause people to be scattered, and people to be scattered will lead to a decline in the hegemony. The author of Fuwang is not the work of only one person, but a city built by the author and the readers. Halfway through building the city, Yin Zi suddenly abandoned his ramming hammer in the abyss, leaving only broken walls and ruins for people to pay their respects to. The spellcasters in his works still know that "magic is not voluntary, and rules are the key points." However, the author falls into chaos and destroys his own rules? If this great work is finally abandoned in the dust, the former heroic words of "innovating fantasy" will be nothing more than a mirror; the enthusiasm of six thousand book friends will be turned into snow and mud. Sad husband!

I think the problem with this plot lies in the swing and arbitrariness of Winters' decision-making. The essence is the swing of the mat in Winter's route selection. If it were not to highlight the characteristics of the hero and the need to show the characteristics of the group, there would be no need to divide the protagonist and the protagonist group into two lines to write. The foreshadowing and hints caused the procrastination of the writing. As a result, the tasks in both lines ended in failure. The task of conquering the castles of the kings still needs to be solved by the protagonist. Looking back at the mission of the protagonist line that was abruptly given at the end, it is questionable whether it is really necessary for the backbone of the Tiefeng Army and the maintainer of the New Republic to complete it. Whether it is reconnaissance, pathfinding, escorting prisoners of war, or finding that the grassland in the rainy season is impassable for carriages to support the north, there is no need for the protagonist to perform it personally. Of course, this may be due to the reversal of the route, but it does make the whole plot anticlimactic. Even the author's excellent writing skills and storytelling atmosphere are not satisfactory to readers like me. The story has been written to 2.7 Million words now, but the progress of the big map is not progressing quickly. Part of the reason is that the author is too eager to tell every detail and everyone's story. This approach has pros and cons, but if it continues, I am afraid it will be like this volume, where I am trapped in the King's Castle for sixty chapters, unable to move. I think most readers don't want the story of this book to end with the Alliance defeating the Empire head-on for the first time, but according to the way it is written, I don't even know if I can see this wonderful scene, let alone the magnificent events that follow. The work pressure of civil servants is indeed increasing day by day. I still hope that the author can grasp the balance between work and life and not let himself be too tired and choose to reduce the quality of his writing to complete the quantity of writing due to inner pressure.

I have written so much, it would be a pity to stop like this. I hope the author will at least not forget this book and will be able to think of it and continue serializing it when he retires and has some free time.

I came here because of the reputation, and now I have read Chapter 16. I won't go into details about the few typos in the front. I will ask some important points. Didn't the third grade recognize 171? Didn't the protagonist step on a caltrop? Can he still run, and can he still follow the troops to take a long way to the port? Didn't it say that it was best to keep the right arm still, and didn't it say that Bud went to find salt and water? During the gathering, everyone was present, so why don't you tell Bud whether he found any water or salt, and whether the wound was treated. Moreover, the injury mentioned above was on the right arm, but Ike saw the wound on the shoulder? Moreover, with the deep wound mentioned earlier, the bleeding makes your head spin, but you can still assemble urgently later, and still have to rely on your non-dominant hand to put out the fire? Is it too lax? And I strongly suspect that the author wrote the wound scenes in this chapter just to show off his knowledge of surgical operations. He didn't have much time to do it, but the blood was enough to stick the clothes on his arms? I don't understand what these lenses are used for, and I haven't written a follow-up. What makes me feel most imprecise is that the caltrops affect my running, and the wound on my right arm affects my movement. I feel dizzy due to blood loss. That's it. I can still go out with the troops to put out fires. The head of the department is so incompetent that he won't let anyone treat his wounds? Aren't a lot of people using it too much? No one has any comments? Or did I miss some paragraph or this part of the content?

Based on Europe in the 16th century when firearms were on the rise, with a magical setting, and detailed descriptions of all aspects of social life in the Renaissance era... Yin Zidian brought this magnificent epic about steel, gunpowder and spellcasters with his incomparable breadth of knowledge. From the details of how matchlocks are protected from moisture and urine, to the military mathematics used to calculate the trajectory of cannonballs, and even the knotting method of leggings can withstand scrutiny, the author's restoration of European military history in the 15th and 16th centuries is museum-quality. The description of the military details in each war is a particularly outstanding aspect of the work. There is no conjecture or wisdom among all parties involved in the war. In the ultimate realistic style, the story is full of epic feeling. Steel Fire can be regarded as the most noteworthy serious fantasy work in recent years. It is completely different from the online novels in my impression.

A reminder to all of you who have come here, read this book for the first time, and are interested in related topics, don't scroll down the comment section anymore, and don't open the paragraph comments when reading the book. There are many knowledgeable people who feel good about themselves, and there are also many spoilers who can't control their tongues.

I thought about a lot of things and deleted them all. I love this writer He made me feel the life of the character This is the honor of Qidian. Com

I fully subscribed to it when I saw Chapter 90 of the first volume, Tacheng. The battles were written very vividly, and the thoughts on the battle were concise and accurate. I think the most important thing for a good book, especially the fantasy genre, is the shaping of the worldview. According to the view expressed by Liu in "The Three-Body Problem", that is, to create a real world and give vivid life to the characters, the author records what he sees "like a voyeur". If the shaping of the world view is very sloppy, then the work is just a mass-produced industrial product. The author has solid basic skills and can use interjections and narratives freely. He also uses many details to fill in the worldview and make it real and full.

I was very surprised when I read the end of the first volume. I ordered it and wrote a book review. In the middle, I mentioned Da Liu's views on character creation in The Three-Body Problem. Now that I have read the end of the second volume, I feel that my face is very painful... Zidian is the first author I have seen who annotated in such detail, with not only text but also illustrations. This book has been written for several years, and it is not as rushed as other online articles. The author wrote this book first and foremost for himself, and my opinions are not intended to influence the author. I read a book review before that really impressed me. The main idea was, "In order to increase the tension of the plot, the author's pacing was too tight, leaving no room for imagination, and there were also problems with the logic. Afterwards, he added some supplements to the chapters, which made the impression worse." I personally think that the pacing of the second volume is not very well controlled. The first is the war. The space between battles is too small, and the atmosphere of tension, depression and anxiety (fury) continues, giving people the impression that Winters is constantly experiencing battles, as powerful and tireless as an iron man; The second is the emotion. Far from home, the role of Anna's image is fixed and understandable. In getting along with Qing, Qing's image also seems to be homogeneous. After Winters hunts the wolf, it is reasonable for Qing to cry after taking out his military uniform, but the tears that appeared many times in the previous article highlight Qing's weakness, which makes the emotional climax here a bit dull; The third is the exit of the character. The author issued the sword too quickly. A soldier got a name, accepted the favor, and soon met his death. This is also the meaning of the comparison between Wu Qi and Winters in the book review. But there is one place in the first volume that is handled very well, that is, the veteran's questioning of Winters, with insight beyond the circle. In the second volume, the colonel officers were seriously injured or died one after another, and the way of explanation was somewhat similar, just like the old general on the stage, with a full sense of immediacy. Focus on describing one or two, and mention the other names in one stroke, but there is a sense of cruelty. Brother Rhett's death was without any warning. In my opinion, it was Winters' departure that directly led to Rhett's death due to the needs of the plot. It would be a pity not to use Red's knife. It's too coincidental. This feeling makes me very uncomfortable. There is another point related to the third point. Many of the characters designed by the author have historical prototypes. It is naturally a beautiful thing that they can echo each other in and outside the book. But deliberately arranging the plot for the inevitability of fate is inferior. Paying homage or learning from something does not mean keeping it intact, but connecting with the spirit.

I look forward to the new updates every Wednesday, and my heart breaks when the day is hard. Rebuilding the middle half of the country, hidden deep in the forbidden courtyard, is silent. At the beginning of the new year, the customs are interrupted and suddenly resumed, and the joy is like tears in the eyes. Because of this, you will always be healthy and have peace and longevity. General idea: Keep refreshing the bookshelf every week and look forward to updates. After waiting for more than two hundred days, my mentality was almost broken. The plot of rebuilding the country is stuck halfway. The author hid in the office and pretended to work silently. A sudden renewal in the New Year is like rebirth of a severed limb. The good news shocked me to tears (I pinched my legs to make sure I wasn't dreaming). I wish the author Yi (Yin) this (purple) you (electricity) good health forever. I hope he can finish the book and fill in all the holes.

This is the first time I have read a pirated version of a novel and come back to pay for it. Do you guys know how valuable it is?

The author is always updating intermittently. This time, the second update was fully booked to the updated place. As a result, looking at the situation, the update will be discontinued again.

I don't know where Winston will go in this troubled world. Can he keep his heart and save the troubled world? Can you and Anna have a peaceful moment together? Or pick up the butcher knife in the death rows of farewells in troubled times, tearing apart the limbs of familiar faces like a captain, and have to ascend the cold-blooded throne in torture. Will the former motherland and family become strangers? Even dying like Chai Rong is a magnificent ending. It's a pity that we readers can't see the end of all this. Maybe there is no end, only death is the destination, just like the old sage.

The Alliance is finally starting to move forward! ! ! Through it all over again, I hope it will be stable this time.

I don't know when you first read a novel in your life and what kind of novel it was. My first one was Three Kingdoms and then Robinson Crusoe. I felt like I was there when I read the characters' joys and sorrows and felt them. Over the years, I have been going to school, working, and running around for a living, but I still like to take time for recreation and read novels. I don't like to watch videos, so I will squeeze some time out of playing games to read novels. How can I put it, it's very complicated. However, I have spent more and more time looking for novels, and I can no longer find the feeling I had when I was a kid, holding a novel and reading it all day without eating or drinking. But this book really brought me back to the feeling I had before. This is really a good book. I don't know how to describe it. I don't want to introduce it, but I hope that people who find this book can read it quietly and witness the advent of a good book and the life of a legendary figure in the book. I also hope that the author will not give up. Although everything is difficult at the beginning, the most difficult thing is to persist. If you persist, it will be your famous work.

This book is a blast, except for updates~

At that time, I thought I would take care of it before looking at it, but now it seems that I have stopped the loss in time.

What if you update one chapter a month? 😭

By the way, what the hell is this damn leave application form?

It's an exaggeration. You can finish one chapter in one month and be on the monthly ticket list Update the chair cushion soon😭😭

Readers are not very demanding. After all, it can be seen that it is difficult to write. Let's ensure the quality first. Slower writing is acceptable. I hope the author can finish it and not suddenly become a eunuch. Otherwise, it is a regret for many people. If I can't write, I will post more. If I can't write temporarily, it will be understood by readers.

It's good to update every two days, as long as it's stable.

Hope to update as soon as possible, I really like it

Respect the idealists

I've given it all to you, it's really well written

Winters, have you unified the Senas Alliance, created the Senas Republic, and realized the ideals of Marshal Ned? Have you crushed the false emperor's ambition, defeated the empire, completely ended the monarchy, and let the light of the Republic shine on the earth? How far have you gone in the research of magic? Have you gained insight into the nature of magic by applying magic to people's lives? Have you married Anna? What was the wedding scene like? How many children do you have? I think they must be very cute How will people evaluate you after your death? Are you a hero who destroyed the empire or a dictator? We may never know any of this again, but we will sincerely wish you and everyone the best and hope you all have a good ending.

RT Although I currently only have seven readers, two of them are me and friends who sponsor my editing hours; But what if someone else comes to read it? What if?
