Building airships was quite troublesome. Not only did it waste time, but their bomb capacity was limited. Still, it was comparatively reliable—failure would merely mean losing an airship. During wartime, all industrial products could be treated as expendable supplies.
In contrast, if the Faithguard Army pushed straight through, there would be far more variables. They might encounter unknown dangers, and the Pollution Serpents in the sea would not necessarily be easy to deal with. However, that approach would allow them to establish a real advantage.
What they lacked most right now was time. Although Monica had come over to help, the Pirate King was also nearing the point where it had absorbed enough pollution to undergo its next transformation. Thus, after confirming that the seawater could recede, Theus decisively chose to carry out both plans at once.
Let the airships strike from above without affecting the Faithguard Army's advance on the ground.
Once the plan was settled, Alexei immediately went out to carry it out. Theus watched his departing back and sighed.
His chief secretary was actually quite capable as a commander, but his plans seemed a little extreme.
Whenever it came to attacking, it was either overwhelming yield or overwhelming troops. He had none of the meticulous care he showed during defense, when he arranged firepower networks and marked out killing zones.
Could it be that he was better at defense?
Watching the tall man from the Northern Territory, Theus stroked his chin and fell into thought.
The airship bombing plan proceeded very quickly. The Moth Chasing Flame researchers soon stripped all the weapons off the airship and replaced them with simple, brutal bombs.
The bombs were specially made. Their special feature was an extraordinarily long fuse. Given the yield of these bombs, if the fuse were even a
