It’s not because human strength is insufficient, but to control the recoil at ignition. Too strong, and the operator would have their shoulder bone shattered on the spot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully loaded the bullet head into the launch tube, ensuring the engravings and slots were aligned before stepping back half a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mike raised his head and looked at Louis. The craftsman’s unique confidence on his face subsided slightly, replaced by a rare calmness and seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don’t know what enemy it will ultimately face,\" he said, \"but if the target is a city wall... it’s practically a siege weapon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the trial segment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The testing ground was chosen in a patch of scorched earth, a blackened area left from the last test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surface was charred and barren, with remnants of carbonized stakes and twisted iron pieces, the air faintly carrying the smell of ash and scorched metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mike waved his hand, and several knights worked together to drag two Ice Wild Boars, tightly chained, to distant points, fixing them at sixty and eighty-meter markers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They struggled and roared, their massive tusks scraping the ground, but escape was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hillco carried a heavy metal canister to the front, taking out a Light Magic Explosion Bullet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It resembled half a forearm’s width of iron canister, its shell emitting a dull shine, evidently cold-forged and heat-treated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the bottom was a fuse cap of compressed Demon Marrow, both delicate and deadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed uninterested, introducing in a detached manner: \"The maximum range of the Light Bullet is about a hundred paces, propelled by Demon Marrow, suitable for knight squads to throw by hand or fire from the shoulder. Damage radius: heavy injury within ten meters, burns within twenty-five meters. Impact point accuracy can be controlled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, a tall Official Knight took the test firing position and securely loaded the Magic Explosion Bullet into the launch tube.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Securing the locking ring, he aimed at the sixty-meter target, took a deep breath, and abruptly pulled the trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A muffled sound echoed, the Magic Explosion Bullet arced into the sky, trailing a faint magic energy tail flame as it flew toward the distant target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Weir instinctively turned his head to avoid the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brilliant orange-red fireball suddenly exploded in the distance, like a burning giant hand slapping furiously onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of fire surged into the sky, a scorching blast sweeping over, as if igniting the entire sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shock wave cracked like rolling thunder, causing the ground to tremble slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ice Wild Boar at the sixty-meter mark was engulfed by the fire pillar, its Ice Armor melting, flesh burst, bones reduced to flying ash amidst the blast wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one at eighty meters was also affected, its body scorched black, its wails intermittent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick black smoke billowed near the explosion’s core, even the test shed a hundred meters away was shaken as dust fell in a cascade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, my God...\" Weir instinctively took half a step back, eyes filled with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the accompanying young knights’ expressions changed, many covering their ears, faces showing fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even an Elite Knight, without Fighting Energy, if hit directly would likely be incapacitated or even exploded on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in the face of such overwhelming power, Louis simply squinted his eyes, displaying a satisfied look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, Hillco had already backed far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was well aware of this Light Bullet’s true power, after all, he had crafted it with his own hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he didn’t quite like the finished product; it was a compromised version, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire Scale Ointment was running out, forcing him to lower the ignition temperature and explosive intensity, barely producing this batch of light combat bullets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Mike had already gotten up from the ground, dusting off the dirt from his body, unable to hide his excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aftermath of the explosion had not yet fully dissipated, the air filled with the scent of scorch and gunpowder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis stood in place, squinting at the half-pit created in the target area, nodding after a long moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The explosive force is sufficient,\" he said blandly, but Mike heard it with bright eyes, energized as if taking a little stimulant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Louis satisfied, Mike proceeded to the second test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Offering a salute to Louis, he announced in an elevated voice: \"Next, entering the Heavy Magic Explosion Bullet test phase!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hillco carefully removed the Heavy Magic Explosion Bullet from the second iron box, his actions steady but fingers slightly trembling as if handling a holy relic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The appearance of this Magic Explosion Bullet and the Light Bullet was nearly identical, still a thick, heavy metal casing, with differences only discernible up close.\u003C\u002Fp>",1007,"2026-05-29T04:24:47.504Z","2026-06-01T04:29:09.187Z",1,"novelbin.me","daa06666e7c630348ba4ab08764e33300683feec4796ba5524a0387cd3e142a3","lord-of-winter-beginning-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-261","lord-of-winter-beginning-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-259",766,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flord-of-winter-beginning-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
