The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start o

United States, western Arelta Castle of the Kingdom of Ouramgoritha -

The ground legions of the Diggrattle Great Empire crossed the border. Finally, they have stripped the fangs out of the lifeblood of the Union.

As Castle Allerta owner, Count Franco, lord of Western Orchid territory, received reports that the vigilante force was being marched by the Great Imperial Army air fleet to Allerta.

"Finally, you western barbarians!

Aircraft flying in from far and high altitude, without any obstacles. Last year, the countries that were at the forefront of the Union were struck unilaterally and defeated with utter inability to reach them.

At last, the enemy stepped into the kingdom of Ouramgoritha, but did not take any measures with this one.

"My castle has a magic turret for anti-aircraft ships...!

It was the last time they plugged over the allerta in an attempt to rain explosives. Hopefully in the afterlife you will regret the alarm that you think will stay high and not be attacked at all.

"Prepare yourselves for battle, everyone! The Orchid Army, the west guard of Woolam Golisa, is here!

"Whoa!"

The morale of the subordinates is high. That was the only thing that gave me tremendous confidence in new weapons for anti-aircraft ships.

"My Lord Count! Thank you!"

Soldiers rush in.

"We have discovered the Great Empire's air fleet and flying objects! We're approaching Allerta Castle right now!

"Hmm, finally.... Swinza Magic Technician!

"Yes, my lord!

The old man who put the red magician robe together, gave a toast.

I'm counting on your magic turret.

"Ha. Magic turret developed with reference to Luptura's wand of Lord Jin Amiwool, the hero mage of Ka. They will crush the enemies at high altitude under one blow!

To advance to Allerta was the First Fleet of the Great Imperial Air Force. Of which, moving forward as avant-garde units are Battleship 1, Cruiser 7 and Corvette 15.

Subsequently, there were fleets of Battleship 6, Cruiser 15 and Corvette 30.

By now, the Army would be advancing in engagement with a defensive force on the Ouramgorisa border, but the air fleet was entering an offensive posture toward a rear base one foot away.

Led by the avant-garde force flagship Solas, the cruiser squad continues in a single longitudinal formation, with the corvette still forming a single longitudinal formation to the left and right of it.

Major General Eelas, entrusted with the command of the avant-garde unit, gives instructions at the flagship bridge.

"All ships, assault formation. Target, Allerta Castle!

"Great Imperial Aircraft, will be plugged over the city shortly!

Reports of the observers arrive, but the enemy ship was already visible in the eyes of Count Franco. The look on the face of Count Franco with his armor and sword is harsh.

"You look big even though you're flying that high......!

The sky looked up from the tallest watchtower in the castle. What I saw there was the sight of countless air ships lined up and approaching.

What a masterpiece. Normally, it's impossible to fight something like this. It's like the march of God's army.

But now we have a magic turret.

"Swinza Magic Technician! Can you shoot the cannon?

"Ha, we are currently targeting each artillery seat, target. Mm-hmm?"

From the watchtower, use the telescope to see the prepared magic turret, Swinza Magic Technician.

"Oh, number three, ready. Number five, number two is ready.... number four, most complete. My lord, all gates, ready to fire, complete!

"Then do it!

"Ha! Lansa Luptura, fire!

Order of the Swinza Magician is immediately communicated to the Signalling Soldier. The commander of each magic turret who saw it ordered the gunmen to fire.

Ten meters long. A huge spear-like turret supported by a pedestal, a bright light ran from its tip and flew to the sky. Its speed, just like the light.

The five pillars of light flew to the giant battleship at the head of the enemy ship, where one bullet landed at the bottom. The remaining four shots were detached.

"You're not hitting me!?

"Yes, no, I hit one, yes!

Objects moving at high altitudes are moving pretty fast looking slow. It is very difficult to visually target and hit such a moving body. In this world where there are no specialized radioactive devices to observe and fire at enemy ships' speeds or exact altitudes, you can actually be lucky to just hit it.

"I hit it. But nothing's gonna happen, magician! What is going on!?

Yes, it is. One shot was a direct hit. But the enemy airship keeps going like nothing happened.

"Such an idiot......! Didn't it work...?

The swinza magician couldn't hide the upset.

In the first place, they had no experience shooting magic bullets at super long distances. Magic has a stuck Magic Decline phenomenon, and the more distance you have from letting go to hitting, the less powerful and effective it becomes. The so-called demon reduction effect.

If you're going to force it to reach you, you're going to have to put enough magic into it to exceed the demon reduction rate. The idea is that even if you let it go with 10 forces and 9 disappears, the one left will deliver it.

But one, weak as it is, falls. It puts even more magic into it so that even that one force alone can destroy the target, which can be described as a very inefficient use. But if there is no other way to shoot high-altitude enemies, then this is not what Input Magic is saying.

The Swinza Magic Technician and his research team created a powerful cannon that brought a bullet that increased its power to a long-range goal. Although it is inefficient enough to crush the high-purity demon stone used in just one use.

But they were bad. That the demon reduction rate has been greater and less powerful than assumed. That the target was the thickest armored battleship. Moreover, the new weapon boasted by the Swinza Magician was bounced because the Great Imperial Aircraft was thickening the armor at the bottom of the ship as the place most likely to be attacked by the enemy.

"Damn......!

Count Franco's voice leaked from the back of his throat. Shortly afterwards, shelling and bomb rain from the Great Imperial Air Fleet poured down on Allerta's castle and town. Explosive flames and shockwaves raze, blowing blood, flesh and debris.

Avant-garde troop flagship 'Solas'. Major General Ehras had received a report as he saw the burning castle town under his eyes.

"We were hit at the bottom of the ship, but there was no damage."

"Hmm, I didn't know the Union was completing anti-aircraft artillery anymore..."

Major General Ehras frowns. Though how much armor the airship had thickened at the bottom, if that had hit a ship below the cruiser, there would have been damage and sinking as well.

He's an easy opponent, but don't be alarmed - Major General Ehras nodded alone. The squad staff member who was holding back behind the command seat opens his mouth.

"Commander, this is an attack on the ground, would you like to proceed?

"No... this is no more shell waste. My fleet is leaving Allerta."

A castle town turned into a pile of debris. But there will still be many survivors. Gather the surviving soldiers, on a scale that allows for some resistance. But shooting at the dark clouds on the unpredictable ground is unlikely to have much effect.

"The Army should be advancing. I'll leave Todome to them."

"... will a dirty orc soldier go sweep"

"Staff, we're at war."

"Ha."

Riding into the town of Arelta is a modified oak army made by the hands of the Great Empire, called Cultured Oak. Numbers are numerous, savage and capable of tragically killing the hostiles. If such a thing were released into a ruined town, the survivors would be hunted down to the last one and killed.

It's a strange story - Major General Ehras bent his mouth to the letter to and swallowed the word.

But this is what the other worlds call modern warfare.
