The curtain call of the Airship troops occurred under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands. They witnessed it firsthand and the news spread quickly.

Now, after merely performing a meteor shower for the audience of hundreds of thousands, they took their grand exit. General Udino had no idea how to explain this to the nation.
