On the first day of the Battle of Aston, at 21:17, 3 kilometers west of Aston City, 130 meters high!

Tonight's weather was a bit overcast, and although there were not many clouds, the altitude was low, providing excellent cover for the 11th Air Combat Regiment.

Through the clouds, you can see that the city of Aston not far below is shrouded in darkness, and there is barely much light in the whole city.

This is almost impossible to see until the player appears in this world, and only in undead cities, as they barely need any lighting.

However, with the start of the counterinsurgency war, more and more towns occupied by the rebels began to control the lights, and even completely de-lit the torches at night to prevent the player from attacking from the air.

It is said that war is the best catalyst for science and technology, and at least until now, the rebels have indeed made a lot of progress in their tactics, and are gradually learning how to deal with the endless attack methods of the players.

The best proof of this is that the rebel mages have learned how to control the illumination to delay the effect of flares! God is sorry what magician would have studied this technique before this war! In the eyes of those traditional magicians, wasting their energy on such a magic trick that is not even a 1st order is simply an insult to the magician!

Luckily, none of the rebels were a legitimate magician from Dalaran, otherwise, the Speaker of the Kenrito Council would have jumped out and scolded the player for not following the tacit rules between magicians.

"Commander, the second marshalling has been completed! One person is left behind, everyone else is in place! Shamil Hedrin said Narison Achiller, commander of the 11th Air Combat Regiment.

The Angzang man from Mongolia frowned and asked, "Which fool has fallen behind?" ”

"Peach Doll."

"That idiot! I'm going to kick her out when this mission is over, I can't stand that idiot who always gets lost! ”

Shamilles showed an embarrassed smile, the entire 11th Air Combat Regiment knew that guy was a well-known road idiot, but the problem was that this girl's luck was always surprisingly good, she could always appear at the most unexpected time, and then easily reaped the results, which made the regiment commander Na Risong, a Mongolian man with a rigid and stubborn personality, always have great resentment towards him, and it was not once or twice that he wanted to drive her out of the 11th Air Combat Regiment.

It's a pity that because the peach doll has not made any fatal mistakes, and has never caused any big bad effects because of road idiots, the General Staff has always refused to agree to Na Risong's request and transferred her to other air combat regiments.

Of course, the mistake of one person would not affect the operation of the entire air combat regiment, and after making sure that everyone else was in place, the commander of the 11th air combat regiment said: "From now on, confirm the respective bombing targets again!" The first and second teams followed me and bombarded the castle of the lords in the middle of the city, where the rebel command was likely to be, but our aim was not to destroy the other side, but to draw the enemy's attention. The third team is responsible for bombing the anti-aircraft fire points around the central square, and the fourth and fifth teams have the most important task of destroying the teleportation array located in the central square! ”

The bombardment launched by the Angelic Covenant certainly wouldn't just target the teleportation array. However, the teleportation array located in the central square is still an extremely important bombing target. For the rebels, the teleportation array is arguably the only way they can get reinforcements, and the only way for them to escape. For this reason, according to the preliminary reconnaissance, in order to protect the safety of the teleportation array, the rebels can be said to have spent great effort, and almost the entire central square has become a military camp.

As for moving the teleportation array to another location, or setting up another teleportation array, it was simply impossible for the rebels.

The teleportation array is like a water pipe, only by opening the two ends, the water flow can be sent from one end to the other, and the large teleportation array used in the city is like a huge underground water pipe, and the entire country's teleportation array network is like a complete water pipeline system, each teleportation array is fixed there after it is established, and once it is moved, it can only cause the teleportation array to fail.

And it is impossible to set up another teleportation array, or for that reason, if the teleportation array wants to take effect, it must be opened at both ends, and the teleportation array erected by the rebels privately can only ensure that their own side is opened, but cannot ensure the other end, so even if it is set up, it cannot carry out any teleportation.

Therefore, as long as the teleportation array located in the central square is destroyed, the rebels in Aston City will lose the possibility of obtaining reinforcements, and at the same time, they will lose the only means of escape, which will not only avoid the sudden appearance of a rebel reinforcement during the entire battle, which will cause huge losses to the Angel's Covenant, but also can confine the rebels to Aston City, so as not to let the defeated rebels disperse to other large and small towns through the teleportation array, increasing the difficulty of other guilds to recover these towns.

In the Battle of Fortress Molente, the sudden appearance of the undead army obviously touched Raphael and Bell deeply, so they took the destruction of the teleportation array as an important purpose in the first phase of the campaign, and even launched a brutal air battle to seize air supremacy.

After confirming that everyone understood their goal, Narimatsu gave an order, and the entire 11th Air Combat Regiment immediately divided into three parts, the first and second groups followed Narisong, with the help of the cover of the clouds, and flew towards the castle of the lord located in the center of the city, while the third group, led by Charmilles, first flew to the south for a certain distance and then entered the low altitude, they had to rub the height of the city wall, with the help of various buildings in the city, avoid all kinds of anti-aircraft fire on the periphery, and launch a surprise attack on the anti-aircraft fire point near the central square.

The fourth and fifth teams, which were the most important missions, continued to stand by above the clouds, waiting for the third team to eliminate those fire points, and then launched a dive attack from a high altitude, throwing alchemical explosives filled with magazines into the teleportation array like dive bombers.

Shortly after Narison and Shamilles left, the whole of Aston City roared into the sky like a giant beast that had been awakened!

Illuminations were constantly being shot into the sky by the rebel magicians, and these illuminations, which took a few seconds to take effect under the control of the magicians, were like flares, reflecting the surrounding airspace. Unfortunately, the rebels still have too few mages to guarantee that the entire sky will be shrouded in illumination, so the air combat players in charge of penetrating will still be able to find a route to cover their attack.

But this is just a small means used by the rebels for air defense!

With the illumination ascending into the air, arrows were fired from the walls and towers. These arrows form the first line of anti-aircraft fire, posing a deadly threat to players flying below 50 meters.

The most dangerous of these are the Hive Ballistae that are mounted on arrow towers and watchtowers. These ballistas can fire nearly a hundred arrows at a time, and the mechanical winch gives these arrows a greater muzzle velocity, making them shoot at a longer range and more powerful, and once excited, enough to form a covering blow to an area within a radius of ten meters, no one can guarantee their safety in the face of such a terrible defense.

When you break through the first anti-aircraft fire network, the next thing that comes up is a ray spell from the rebel mage. Compared to other spells, spells such as Scorching Ray and Freezing Ray have become the first choice for rebel mages for air defense because of their speed, easy control, and high accuracy. Dodging a large fireball in the air may be easy for players to dodge, but dodging a scorching ray from the ground is a matter of pure luck.

Even if you break through these two layers of anti-aircraft fire, there is a third layer of anti-aircraft network waiting for you in front. Although the rebels have lost air supremacy, this does not mean that their griffons and warhawks are useless.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the bombing, players often need to descend to a height of 50 meters, or even 30 meters, which makes them completely unable to get the help of the air combat players responsible for escorting, because at this altitude, there are too many means to attack them, and no matter how powerful the air combat players are, it is impossible to resist the attacks of hundreds of thousands of arrows and scorching rays.

On the contrary, the few remaining griffons and warhawks of the rebels, protected by anti-aircraft fire from the ground, can completely ignore the threat posed to them by the air combat player and instead attack the bombarding player. The air supremacy gained by the player at this altitude is completely meaningless.

If you want to avoid this difficulty, you can only use high-altitude bombing, but the accuracy of high-altitude bombing is quite low, and often ten magic bombs are dropped, and only one will hit the target, and in many cases, even one will not even be one. Such a low hit rate obviously does not satisfy the players.

As a result, players on bombing missions have several times higher mortality rates than players who perform air combat, and even many times, each sortie represents a death!

If you look down from the sky, you will find that Aston City at this time seems to be a hedgehog covered in spikes, and the arrows, the red or dark blue magic rays, and the fireballs that burst out all show how difficult this hedgehog is to swallow.

And those players in charge of the assault are like acrobats dancing on the tip of a knife, tossing and turning in a myriad of arrows and magic rays, using all means to keep themselves from being shot down, and at the same time using the magic missiles and magic bombs in the magazines to strike those anti-aircraft fire points.

Bang! After several loud bangs, a watchtower broke in the middle, and the entire top shook a few times before crashing, smashing a ruin on the ground, and the beehive ballista and several archers on the top of the watchtower were naturally not spared, and they were killed directly.

The battle team that had fired all the mana missiles that destroyed the tower could not escape death, and as they tried to turn to flee, more than a dozen scorching rays enveloped their area, three of which pierced their defenseless bodies, killing them instantly.

It can be said that every time you destroy an anti-aircraft fire point, you need to pay a huge price for players, and the poor defense capabilities of air combat players are undoubtedly the main reason for all this.

In the midst of this spear-and-shield battle, gaps gradually appeared in the starry anti-aircraft fire points of Aston City, first several key arrow towers and watchtowers were destroyed, and then some rebel mages began to shut down due to lack of magic or being killed by the player.

Aston City, which was gradually showing fatigue, finally showed its soft belly to the player, and the moment they saw a gap in the anti-aircraft fire network, the bombing teams that had been waiting for a long time immediately began to move forward, attacking their targets from all directions.

They either swooped down directly from a high altitude, swept low over the wall, or sneaked in through the blind spots of buildings with the help of arrow towers and watchtowers. In conclusion, never underestimate the intelligence and creativity of players, they are always able to surprise you in places you can't imagine.

Soon, huge fireballs rose from all parts of Aston City, and important facilities were bombed one after another, so that the rebels had to send manpower to the relevant locations to defend, and the already porous anti-aircraft fire network was more and more exposed in this aimless movement.

"Here's your chance! Let's go! ”

The 4th and 5th teams of the 11th Air Combat Regiment, which had been hiding above the clouds, keenly spotted this opportunity, and when three consecutive explosions appeared in the central square, they finally launched a surprise attack!

The players climbed to a height of nearly 200 meters, and then flew in a predetermined direction towards the teleportation array.

"It's a pleasure to be on this mission with all of you! I'm proud of you as your captain! Yun Zhanmei, who was in charge of leading the two teams, said with a smile, and at the same time took out the alchemy explosives stored in the magazine and firmly fixed them on his chest.

His behavior didn't surprise the others, as they were doing the same.

Although no one asked them to carry out this kind of suicide attack, they were able to stand here, and they all understood how many comrades-in-arms had to pay with their lives in order to get such a chance to attack!

Compared to them, how lucky they are to only need to die once!

"If it were in reality, I would have said goodbye in Valhalla! But here, hehe, let's meet at the cemetery! Yun Zhan Meishu fixed the last alchemy explosive and said with a smile, "Okay! President Raphael and Vice President Bell are waiting for our good news! For victory! ”

Ten players began to dive, shutting down all the floating circles and allowing themselves to launch a decisive attack on the teleportation array located in the central plaza at a vertical angle of nearly ninety degrees, propelled by the jet circle.

"Covenant of the Angels, long live!"
