"Are we being hypocrites acting like that?" Saleen asked as he looked at everyone around him.
Viscount Gugger was simply at a loss for words. Saleen had him seen the cruelest parts of wars, and an utterly defenseless Ironwall City, being torn apart by a bunch of grade-1 magic equipment. The grade-1 magic equipment might have been expensive, but there was still a limit as to how expensive it could get. It was the cost of the metal flyers that was deemed unacceptable. Saleen would not have been able to craft an army of such things if he did not have the schematics and large numbers of sorcerers working for him.
It was not the first time metal flyers were seen, but Metatrinians were definitely the first ones to use them in such ways. In ancient times, such flying contraptions would have served little more than scouts, yet at present, they were made into potent offensive weapons instead.
