For a moment there was silence. Only the wind rushing past the zeppelin could be heard.
Then, there was a boom.
Then another boom.
Dozens of detonations occurred along the side of the zeppelin. Cannonball after cannonball was hurled in the direction of the approaching army. Dozens of monster bodies flew around as they were scattered to bits by the heavy lumps of metal that hurtled towards them at incredible speeds.
General Meduso, as he watched in stunned silence, grabbed onto my cuirass and yanked me towards him.
"This device has cannons on it? How in the world can that function?"
I couldn't help myself. I let out a loud laugh at my own genius creation.
"So you know how there is magic which allows minor objects, such as knives or flames to be summoned through the use of mana?" I asked.
"Yes?" General Meduso released me and watched my face wearily.
