Battleships had one major advantage.
Their firepower density was actually higher than that of bombers.
Although each individual explosion was no more powerful than a 500-kilogram TNT bomb,
they made up for it by firing continuously.
The roar of these war behemoths was like a charge trumpet.
It drove the Olesian Army completely wild.
Every shell was enough to make one's heart jump.
That was because Enchantment Magic had only just solved the problem of mages' limited range.
In the past, powerful spells would have killed the mages who cast them.
As a result, the 460 mm Cannon's firepower had become the most reliable and widest-reaching form of bombardment available.
It was also purely, simply, a physical attack.
What could they do?

They had managed to damage it.
After shattering its Magic shield, they still hadn't pierced its steel plating. But the thing was flying through the sky, after all.
The way to counter it was to make it lose its balance.
For instance, attempts to cast Gravity Magic had indeed forced it to descend by over a hundred meters, but the effect was quickly countered.
Some people proposed other methods.
For example, they could gather huge rocks above the battleship and drop them on it.
Or perhaps try using the Armor-breaking Technique?
But every one of those methods required getting close.
The logic behind using war behemoths in the sky was to balance offense and defense while ensuring the energy supply could keep up.
It wasn't impossible to shoot down a battleship with magic.
