Thinking back carefully, it seemed the same thing had happened last time. The moment the airships took to the sky, the monsters launched a large-scale attack.
Did these monsters react strongly to things in the sky?

He turned to look at the other airships and suddenly asked, "Have weapons been installed on the airships?"

After all, explosives could not even be mass-produced here. Thinking about Castel's experience of being besieged by monsters, any Church other than Theus's territory would likely have to pay a tremendous price to withstand it.
According to Alexei's estimates, even the Empire's Royal Army might struggle to hold this place.
