The war had begun.
It started earlier than I had expected.
The final warning line that Testarossa pointed out was stepped over by the Empire’s forces without any hesitation.
At that moment, the Eastern Empire and Monster’s Country Tempest fell into a state of war.
As an immediate response, Benimaru’s instruction were transmitted to the first and the third corps via Thought Link.
The two forces of the Tempest Military began mobilizing simultaneously.
Since the power of the tank cannon was unknown, it was suicidal to stay in the same position carelessly.
There was still some distance left to traverse before both armies made contact, but we couldn’t be careless as the effective range of the enemy’s weapon was still not clear.
The most striking difference between the former world’s and this world’s tank might be its shorter barrel.
Inside the Jura Great Forest where trees grew densely, there existed some trade routes.
The tank corps came invading from the east, passed through the meadows and crossed the large river, but its turret length wouldn’t cause any trouble when rotating the gun turret even inside a forest with its dense trees.
It was questionable whether this had any effect on its accuracy and range, but judging from the performance of the weapons they were carrying such as the rifle from a while ago, I thought that this situation was clearly problematic.
The rifle from a while ago was silent and had no recoil.
I could not confirm its silence as it was only a detailed scene projected onto the large screen that couldn’t reproduce the audio.
If there was someone on the actual site, they could use a video crystal to transmit the video on the monitor together with the audio, but I couldn’t reproduce the audio using surveillance magic.
Oh well, as the magic processes the image’s wavelength via a high altitude light source, lag would surely occur if I tried to transmit the audio.
Only, this was not at the level that Raphael could correct.
Is it easier to understand if I use an analogy of thunder?
Since there was a several second lag from the light, it wouldn’t be able to transmit if it was also burdened with sound[1].
That was why I couldn’t determine whether the rifle from before was silent or not from the image of the large screen, but it became clear that the rifle was silent after the Thought Report coming from Testarossa.
In this case, it could be said that this gun was a magic tool.
It substituted gunpowder with a magic formula.
Certainly, the tank would have the same technology with no recoil, high precision to some extent, and a lack of sound.
What needed to be determined was its range and power.
I was not fighting personally, but it was more worrisome than what I had thought just from watching my companion’s fight.
But, the only thing I could currently do was assess the situation.
Let’s watch this fight attentively.
Before situation progressed, I stated my opinion of using the improved〈Physics Magic〉”Megiddo (God’s Wrath)”.
