The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 329 Andrei's Air Raid Follows Immediately
"Attack! Don't be afraid, keep attacking! Destroy all those gun emplacements!"

A Black Hawk Empire air force colonel roared from atop a large airship, his eyes gleaming with a fiery passion as he looked at the coil guns atop the fortresses in the distance.

The Cambrian Empire has indeed made considerable progress in this area of ​​research, especially when this technology is combined with certain technologies of the Black Hawk Empire, it seems to be able to create even more wonderful sparks.

However, he doesn't have time to think about technological advancements right now. What he cares about most right now is how to take down these coilguns as quickly as possible.

If they had this, their air force's subsequent operations would be severely hampered, and continuing large-scale bombing would easily result in heavy losses.

And that's not all; what if their army forces wanted to launch an attack?
This thing is equally deadly when it hits the army, and the huge energy it releases is enough to destroy their shields, which is the most deadly thing!
If the Black Hawk Empire's shield system is destroyed by this thing, a large part of their war machine will become extremely vulnerable, such as these large airships in the sky.

If it weren't for the shield system, how could the Brandenburg airships have become the enemy's nightmare?
It is precisely because of the protection of the shields that these airships, which are originally very fragile, are able to dominate in aerial combat without being instantly destroyed by the enemy's anti-aircraft fire.

Under the colonel's orders, a large number of Black Hawk helicopters once again swooped down into the distance, and Andrei's anti-aircraft guns quickly began to intercept these aircraft.

Good news! Players really got their fill of aerial combat this time, with enemy planes everywhere in the sky.

The bad news is that the enemy's large air combat units are incredibly resilient, making their anti-aircraft guns seem like a complete waste. They've been firing for ages but haven't managed to shoot down more than a few enemy units!

Under the relentless bombardment of anti-aircraft guns, the shield of one Griffin bomber was breached, and it plummeted straight down.

However, when the massive bomber crashed to the ground, the munitions, energy core, and laser crystals it carried inside instantly detonated, creating a huge column of smoke.

Fortunately, the thing didn't crash directly into the city, but instead landed in a defensive zone carefully set up by the player, so the citizens of Petrograd were not harmed.

But on the players' side, the dozen or so anti-aircraft guns that were deployed together were destroyed. A bunch of players were completely bewildered until they died, not understanding how they were gone.
Just as the Black Hawk Empire's air force continued its advance, the electromagnetic cannons were activated again.

Another massive burst of lightning shot out, and Andrei felt as if the sky had been engulfed in a thunderstorm!
Under such attacks, the Black Hawk Empire suffered even more severe losses, with a total of six airships and four bombers being reduced to burning wreckage, including a Brandenburg-class airship.

The Black Hawk Empire's air force was completely dumbfounded when they saw how fast this coilgun could be loaded and cooled down. How could this thing be so different from the coilguns they had encountered before?
"Damn it, it must be the energy core! Those guys stole our technology again!"

One of the Black Hawk officers thought of something and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

It's all the fault of that airship that was captured by the enemy. How could it have been taken over by the enemy so inexplicably?

Even if the enemy stormed the airship, couldn't they just detonate the airship and perish together with the enemy, creating a heroic spectacle on the spot?

Now that the other side has acquired core energy technologies, they have made significant breakthroughs in many areas.

In addition, with the shield technology analyzed from their airships, many Black Hawk officers felt that the Cambrian Empire's Petrograd Front was growing at an astonishing rate, and the enemy's rate of evolution was simply beyond imagination!
If Andrei knew what these Black Hawk officers were thinking, he would definitely spit in their faces!
Damn, is our evolution speed faster?
It's clearly the Black Hawk Empire's equipment innovation speed that's absurd, isn't it?
One of the biggest impressions the Black Hawk Empire gave Andrei was that these guys were making rapid technological progress, and they could come up with some amazing new gadgets from time to time.

In comparison, the Cambrian Empire's weapon upgrade speed is ridiculously slow. Who knows what those old men in the research institute are busy doing?

"Let's retreat. This airstrike is almost over. It's really not worth continuing!"

As the officers at the rear gave the order, the remaining Black Hawk helicopters quickly turned around, with some fighter jets left behind to cover the rear, while the other large combat units swiftly withdrew from the area.

Petrograd's air defenses were far stronger than they had imagined, resulting in significant losses for them in the war. Overall, they suffered a considerable defeat.

I don't know what's wrong with this city, it has so many planes. According to their spy investigation, there shouldn't be many planes left in this city.

Clearly, they were unaware that Andrei had suddenly arrived with a large group of players.

After all, Andrei's return was extremely sudden; he didn't notify anyone, let alone give spies a way to find out.

Unless a spy is able to keep a close watch on him around the field airfield 24 hours a day and see him get off the plane the moment he returns, it would be absolutely impossible for the other side to see Andrei!

To be honest, it wasn't that the Black Hawk Empire's spies didn't want to do this; in fact, they had previously sent some people to try to monitor this field airfield.

Although this field airfield is relatively remote, its enormous size and the large swarms of fighter planes that frequently take off from here make everyone in Petrograd aware that there is a field airfield here.

But don't forget, there are always players active in this place.

The player minimap is no joke; it's practically a cheat code when identifying spies. When they see a red dot indicating activity near the airport, these players immediately take action, driving off to catch the spies.

If a spy could escape capture by a large number of players under these circumstances, then he wouldn't be a spy at all; he might as well just become the legendary Captain Black Hawk!

After all, theoretically speaking, even Captain America probably couldn't do something so incredible, unless he turned on his protagonist's halo!
The Black Hawk Empire felt that this air raid was a huge loss, having lost almost half of its air force – a devastating blow.

Even when they fought the Battle of Britain against the Nightless Empire, or even when they launched a probing attack called Operation Sea Lion, they never suffered such heavy losses.

However, in Andrei's view, he had also suffered a huge loss this time!

In this air battle, Petrograd's factories suffered severe damage. Several important machine manufacturing plants and food processing plants were damaged to varying degrees, while the most important heavy repair plant was devastated.

If it weren't for the fact that the players' repair skills had become increasingly outrageous under Andre's control, many players would have gradually started to develop into master repairers.

Otherwise, if the repair factory were simply bombed, Andrei's Titan Legion would face a huge test.

No matter how powerful the Titan mech is, it still needs regular maintenance, especially in high-intensity warfare.

Without sufficient resources for repairs, even a simple mechanical malfunction could render a Titan mech incapable of combat.

Thinking about it this way, Andrei suddenly felt that he had really lost out this time.

Many players piloted fighter jets in a fierce pursuit of the enemy, but the situation was dire, and their pursuit did not yield much success.

They easily took out the enemy's rearguard planes, but when they tried to continue their pursuit, the enemy mages, who had been lying in ambush, dealt them a heavy blow.

These mages jointly activated a spell to create an airspace barrier, instantly bringing down about ten of the players' planes.

Even after falling from the plane, players who successfully parachute continue fighting on the ground until the very last moment.

However, faced with such a monstrous spell, the remaining planes naturally dared not pursue recklessly, otherwise they might be caught off guard by another wave of enemy attacks, which would be like sending a group of people to their deaths.
By the next morning, after a night of emergency investigation and rescue efforts, the air raid was considered over.

Although the enemy did not bomb residential areas, the planes and airships that were shot down by the enemy did not avoid residential areas either.

Including all sorts of miscellaneous collateral damage, from beginning to end, the airstrike yesterday resulted in the deaths of more than 300 civilians and injuries to more than 500 civilians.

Moreover, the bombing also ignited fires in a large area of ​​the city. Even though the entire Petrolol fire brigade has been mobilized, several factories are still burning.

Even the most skilled players joined the firefighting efforts, unleashing a wave of Winter's Wrath on several of the most severely affected areas.

Otherwise, it would be quite good if the flames could be extinguished within five days.

"Sigh, it seems I overestimated Petrograd's air defense capabilities. I thought the anti-aircraft firepower here was enough to thwart the enemy's air raids!"

Inside the Vorontsov family castle, Andrei and General Constantine were having breakfast when General Constantine suddenly sighed and said something.

"It's already pretty good. To be honest, at least in my opinion, Petrograd's air defense capabilities are already quite good!"

Andrei shrugged, half in a consolational tone and half in a serious tone, and said:
"The reason we failed to stop the Black Hawk Empire's several large-scale bombings is because their shields are too annoying, and we lack the means to counter them."

"If we have the opportunity to obtain the enemy's laser crystals, or find a way to create some denser anti-aircraft arrays, I believe that the enemy's shield should be broken through very quickly."

Theoretically speaking, to break through the Void Shield, one must rely on a sufficiently dense barrage of artillery fire.

In Andrei's view, the anti-aircraft firepower that broke out in the city yesterday was already quite strong, but it was still not enough to quickly break through the enemy's Void Shield.

Or, from the perspective of the Warhammer world, even with a sufficiently dense barrage of artillery fire, erasing the Void Shield would be a very difficult task; otherwise, there wouldn't have been the Siege of Flax, or other similar brutal siege battles.

Do you have a way to get your hands on those laser crystals?

Upon hearing Andrei's words, General Constantine's eyes lit up.

"Hehe, I'd like to!"

Andrei couldn't help but roll his eyes, shake his head, and say:

"Grandpa, you overestimate me. It's not so easy to seize a Black Hawk Empire airship these days. The anti-air capabilities of those lasers are too strong."

"Furthermore, to be honest, we still don't understand the principle behind the enemy's laser weapons, so it's impossible to replicate them. Therefore, unless we encounter a turning point or a special opportunity, there's really no way to solve this problem for the time being."

As he said this, Andrei's eyes glazed over slightly.

He had been pondering in his heart what exactly that laser crystal was.
In his view, that thing must be some kind of black technology that has something to do with magic, and it was definitely not an ordinary technological product.

In his memory, even before he transmigrated, there were no mature laser weapons in the world that could be truly deployed in large-scale combat. At most, there were some things that had just come out of the laboratory and could theoretically be deployed in actual combat.

But to be honest, look at the size of those laser weapons and their huge power requirements, and then look back at the Black Hawk Empire's laser crystals.

Even a layman could tell that the two things were completely different in terms of technology.

It's illogical that such a small laser crystal can emit such a powerful laser. Who knows what powers this thing?

Andrei thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out the Black Hawk Empire's energy supply principle.

After much thought, he could only regard this thing as some kind of new energy core. He wondered how the Black Hawk Empire managed to make such a small thing contain such high energy.
"So... are you still planning to launch this large-scale air raid?"

Seeing Andrei in a daze, General Constantine tapped the table to bring his attention back, and then asked:
"As you've seen, the enemy's air power is stronger than we imagined. The Black Hawk Empire's air force is no pushover. If things go wrong, the air force you sent out might not come back."

"Besides, your men lost quite a few planes and pilots in yesterday's battle. If you're willing, I think we can cancel this air raid."

General Constantine's words made sense, but Andrei shook his head and rejected his suggestion.

"No, this airstrike must be carried out; we must retaliate against them!"

Andrei said with a burning gaze:

"Think about it, the enemy has just bombed our important cities and caused us such huge losses, and then we immediately announce the cancellation of this air raid operation. How bad is that!"

"Besides, you've already mentioned this to Moscow. Now that you've already made the announcement, if we don't take action, wouldn't we just be waiting to be embarrassed?"

"I have faith in the skill of my soldiers, and even more so in their determination. They will never yield to these difficulties!"

Seeing Andrei say this, General Constantine stopped trying to persuade him.

Looking back, he realized that his earlier efforts to build momentum for Andrei in Moscow seemed premature; he should have waited until the air raid was successful before taking action.

He was just too excited yesterday. The thought of his side bombing enemy cities kept him awake.

It is unacceptable to passively take a beating. Only by retaliating against the enemy can they make the enemy feel pain. However, up to now, the Cambrian Empire has not shown much possibility of retaliation.

At this critical moment, Andrei's air raids were a powerful boost, proving to the Black Hawk Empire and the world that the Cambrian Empire still had the strength to fight back against invaders, instead of being forced to passively take a beating!
Andrei rewrote the missions for the players and then sent them into action.

Although the enemy's air raid yesterday did disrupt the players' actions, to be honest, Andrei's side didn't need to do any extra organization; they could just let the players out.

So even if he has just experienced a fierce air battle, he can immediately start a new round of war with the players.

General Constantine was worried about the soldiers, but Andrei wasn't worried about any of that at all.

Players can revive after dying, and if a plane is lost, the airport can be rebuilt.

These players are not afraid of death at all; they treat themselves as expendable resources. Therefore, Andrei only needs to think about revenge!
It has to be said that Moscow's intelligence system is really not good; it's practically been infiltrated by the enemy.

This very morning, the Black Hawk Empire's intelligence department delivered a new report to Field Marshal Schweigen's desk, informing him:
The Cambrian Empire is planning a large-scale air raid against East Prussia, and a huge fleet of aircraft will take off from Petrograd!
When Marshal Schweigen finished reading the instructions while eating breakfast, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, it's just fake news, don't pay any attention to such nonsense!"

"Our intelligence system is really something. Can't those analysts use their brains a little more? They just suffered a devastating air raid, and the fires in the city haven't even been extinguished yet. How could they have time to bomb us?"

"Moreover, do they have the capability to break through the air blockade along the way?"

Marshal Schweigen had full confidence in his own air defense capabilities, and this confidence probably stemmed more from the fact that they had previously rendered the Cambrian Empire's air force helpless.

Thanks to the differences in their shields, coupled with some differences in their war philosophies, they destroyed most of the Cambrian Empire's air force in the early stages of the war!
As they watched enemy airships burn and crash one after another, the Black Hawk Air Force gained confidence and began to underestimate the Cambrian Empire's air force.

Even the army and other units felt the same way; they didn't think the Cambrian Empire had any formidable air force. The only notable aircraft under Andrei's command performed reasonably well in combat. But now that they had successfully copied the aircraft, what advantage did the enemy have left?
"Alright, no need to be so tense. Let them launch an airstrike if they want. I want to see how they plan to do it."

Seeing that the other officers were still looking at the intelligence report with furrowed brows, the marshal waved his hand and left.

After analyzing the situation, most of the other officers also felt that the enemy's intelligence was utter nonsense.

At least in their case, if their air force had just suffered a heavy loss, with a large number of planes shot down in a chaotic air battle, they certainly wouldn't be in the mood to launch airstrikes against the enemy.

This is practically like sending a decimated and demoralized army on a long march!
They don't have that ability.

How could someone with such ability suffer such heavy losses?

But they didn't know that the player's plane had already taken off.

After a discussion with Andrei and the other players, they decided to have their air force take a slightly longer route in this air raid!

Although Andrei's air force now has an operational range of about 1000 kilometers, operational range and straight-line distance are two different things.

His air force can only operate within a radius of 1000 kilometers, but within this radius, the player's air force can move however it wants, even if it goes around 100 times!
For this reason, in order to confuse the enemy and also to avoid being intercepted by a large number of Black Hawk Empire air force units, Andrei directly ordered this air force to head north first!
Next, the air force's primary bombing target was Helsinki, the capital of the Otranyans, because the city was only 300 kilometers away from Petrograd as the crow flies.

When the Black Hawk Empire's reconnaissance forces learned of Andrei's air force operation, they could hardly have imagined that the air force would detour through Helsinki and then return to East Prussia.

After all, in terms of actual distance, Andrei's air force would have to travel at least 1500 kilometers to make this trip, and at least 1000 kilometers to return!
Most importantly, the enemy has already dropped all their bombs in Helsinki, so how could they possibly have room to drop brand new bombs on their heads?
If they don't understand the players, then Black Hawk Empire's wrong judgment is entirely justified.

Based on normal circumstances, Andrei's battle plan was indeed impossible to implement.

During the air force operation, Andrei discovered that his pilots seemed to have unknowingly unlocked a brand new function.

Besides the small map, which has a very limited area and is only suitable for use as a tactical map in small-scale operations, the air force can also unlock a large map by using the map they have in hand during combat.

This large map is very rough and rudimentary. When players look down at the map, there will be a small marker on their map indicating their current location and direction of movement.

This map neither helps them pinpoint the enemy's location nor allows them to observe the enemy's movements. Its only function is to ensure that players don't get lost.

But this function is crucial for today's players!
These players are here to play games, not to be professional bomber pilots, so Andrei naturally couldn't expect them to be able to locate maps and use compasses accurately.

Even the most skilled pilots in World War II often got lost during long-range bombing missions.

Even a slight deviation from the flight path could result in a difference of hundreds of kilometers from the target, especially since the scenery along the way is remarkably similar, making it difficult for them to pinpoint their exact location.

Without this feature, if these players were allowed to fly thousands of kilometers for long-range bombing, Andrei had no doubt that they might end up flying all the way to Moscow to drop bombs!

In their disoriented state, who knows where they'll end up flying to?
With this map as a guide, they could at least figure out where their targets were and avoid going astray.

General Constantine vaguely sensed that Andrei's air force seemed to be moving in a strange way, but after hesitating for a moment, he did not choose to ask any further questions.

In any case, Andrei is now a front commander.

Apart from their military ranks, they were equals in status.

Moreover, this is a battlefield, and the troops under Andrei's command are all from his own army group, not under the command of General Constantine.

In this situation, it is highly taboo to use one's status as father and son to ask the other party random questions, or even to modify the other party's plans and instruct them on how to fight.

Moreover, he believed that Andrei definitely had his own ideas, and that there must be some other reason why the air force's course of action seemed to be problematic.

Located in the sky, the player was very satisfied with the bombing plan.

They don't care whether the game's design is reasonable or not.

All they knew was that they could bomb two cities in a row today, and two completely different enemy forces at that, which was enough to make them feel great!
Meanwhile, in Alterania, these guys had no idea that their nightmare had actually sent troops toward them again!
After the previous war, the Altranians suffered heavy losses at the border at the hands of Andrei, even losing a major city, which suddenly put them in a passive position.

The Altranians did attempt several counterattacks against Jonsu, but unfortunately, each of their counterattacks was repelled by the Cambrian army defending the city.

The Cambrian troops who remained in the city didn't employ many fancy tactics in battle; they simply relied on a few basic axe blows to hold their ground!
Once the enemy troops begin to assemble, the BL 9.2-inch siege guns, which were bought from Andrei and then deployed in the city, will begin a fierce bombardment!

When the enemy forces launch their attack, the armored trains guarding the city's outskirts will be mobilized—although Andrei's armored trains have been reassigned, the Cambrian Empire's own armored trains have been transferred over.

When the enemy finally managed to penetrate into the city's outskirts, or even deeper into the city, brutal street fighting broke out again.

Those Cambrian soldiers weren't just coasting along when they fought against Andrei; they learned a lot of useful urban warfare techniques from the players.

Although they couldn't replicate the players' various outrageous and difficult maneuvers, the Alteras had already suffered greatly during their attacks simply because of these little tricks they had mastered.

In addition, when the situation becomes truly critical, they have a trick up their sleeve: making phone calls to call for backup!
Although Andrei could no longer rush to provide support, whenever the Karelian Front called Petrograd, there were always players' air forces willing to send a wave of troops.

Then the player's air support arrived, and the Altranians were completely helpless.

For this reason, the border war has continued to this day, and the Altrians seem to have made no progress.

The progress made has been reversed, and the border between the two sides seems to have returned to its initial state.

Although the Cambrian Empire was unable to launch an attack due to insufficient manpower, they were also constantly subjected to various forms of enemy fire suppression due to their poor equipment, and ultimately could not advance further.

As the war has progressed to this point, the border conflicts between the two sides have become rather perfunctory.

Everyone knows that neither side can really defeat the other, so the two sides just have a symbolic fight to show their presence, and then it's over.

Even within Altera, their parliament has begun discussing whether to unilaterally negotiate peace with the Cambrian Empire.

Although the Black Hawk Empire had a profound influence on them, they couldn't possibly risk their national destiny for the sake of the Black Hawk Empire's hegemony.

They also wanted to reclaim the land they had lost and to tear a piece of flesh from the Cambrian Empire, but alas, they lacked the strength!

The council members have held many meetings during this period, but they have not made any real progress in the discussion about whether to continue participating in the war.

Unfortunately, the parliament is now roughly divided into two factions, and both of them are very powerful.

One faction is the pro-Black Hawk faction, who believe that Altrania must stand behind the Black Hawk Empire and obediently cling to its coattails in order to find a way out.

The other faction is the peace faction, or rather, the faction that is pro-Wuxiao Empire.

They believed that the Altranians did not need to get involved in this bloody war, which had already caused them too much bloodshed.

The best option is to withdraw from this war as soon as possible and remain neutral like the Kingdom of Svia.

Both factions were powerful and had powerful backers, so their arguments never really reached a conclusion.

Both sides accuse each other of being traitors, neither side is willing to back down, and they are constantly engaged in verbal battles, to the point that the parliament is now like a vegetable market!
Of course, this is also because they are all maintaining a certain degree of restraint.

These lawmakers are very rational; they engage in heated debates in parliament, but they never extend their struggles beyond the parliamentary level.

In ordinary times, they fight when they need to fight, do business when they need to do business, and live their lives as usual.

This means that most citizens of Helsinki don't really participate in the arguments in parliament; they mostly just watch the parliament make a fool of itself.

Of course, the citizens would still prefer to withdraw from the war.

However, the citizens were also greedy; they hoped that Altrania could withdraw from the war in a more dignified manner, rather than slinking away in disgrace after suffering heavy losses.

While the council was still arguing and the citizens were still reading the news in the newspapers, they suddenly heard the air raid siren.

"What's going on? Where did that air raid siren come from?"

One member of parliament, who was in the middle of a speech when it was suddenly interrupted by an air raid siren, cursed in dissatisfaction. But the next moment, he realized—oh my god, it's an air raid siren!
Instantly, the parliament, which was already bustling like a vegetable market, became even more chaotic because of the air raid siren. A group of members rushed outside, and there was even a near stampede.

Instead of running elsewhere, they hurried to the underground meeting room of the parliament hall as fast as they could.

Normally, that's where they hold special meetings, but now it's the nearest civil defense facility to them!

Ordinary citizens also panicked upon hearing the air raid siren.

Some citizens thought to run to nearby underground places to hide as quickly as possible, while others were simply terrified and ran around like headless flies.

Many citizens didn't even realize it at first; they thought the roaring sound was the train whistle coming from the train station!

It wasn't until they saw plane after plane flying overhead, and when they saw this massive formation of at least a hundred aircraft, that they truly understood what it meant for war to have arrived!
"Wow, there are so many people down here!"

One player looked down in amazement, feeling that from his perspective, the citizens running around in all directions looked like a swarm of ants!
"Stay calm and don't throw bombs randomly! Our mission clearly states that attacking civilians is not included in the mission, and doing so will result in a significant loss of merit points, and there may even be other penalties!"

Upon hearing his teammate's words, Brother Haonan quickly reminded him, fearing that his teammate might have a moment of madness and throw a bomb at the civilians below.

"Don't worry, I know this game has an inexplicably high level of morality in some aspects..."

The player shrugged and said casually.

Strangely enough, they always felt that the game's moral standards were polarized.

On the one hand, the Black Hawk Empire behaved quite inhumanely during the war, not only enjoying massacres but also digging up other people's graves and even killing the corpses of its own people, often committing a series of cruel acts.

Even the Cambrian Empire was the same; when it was time to act inhumanely, it did so as well, and it even had a bunch of messy and evil beliefs.

On the other hand, players' actions in the game are highly regulated. For example, they cannot indiscriminately kill civilians or attack their teammates.

Many players couldn't help but complain, feeling that this severely restricted their freedom, but some players felt that these restrictions weren't necessarily a bad thing.

Compared to the chaotic world before them, the limitations they face at least help them retain some humanity.

Of course, they also felt that this might be some kind of adjustment by the game company to prevent players from getting too engrossed in the game and then going on a killing spree in the real world.

Virtual immersive games with such a high degree of realism always have these kinds of problems.

In their memory, there have been many similar news stories in the past, where players, after finishing the game, couldn't distinguish between the game and reality and ended up mistaking reality for Vice City 2.0.

Perhaps it's to avoid this situation that the game imposes so many restrictions on them?

After avoiding large residential areas, the player took out a map of Helsinki, looked at the pre-marked markers on the map and his own location, and then quickly swooped down into the distance.

First, their targets are the city's train station, oil refinery, and airship base.

Besides these targets, their next targets are the steel mills, food processing plants, and military camps in the city.

After these targets are bombed, the Altranians' war strength will inevitably be greatly affected. More importantly, the Altranian army on the front line will also suffer severe logistical damage due to this air raid!

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!
From the ground, anti-aircraft guns have already begun firing at the aircraft in the sky.

However, overall, the city's air defense level is only average. Compared with the air battle that broke out in Petrograd, the defense here is far inferior!
Sparse anti-aircraft fire, no anti-aircraft balloons in the sky above the city, coupled with panicked and poorly organized crowds and soldiers.

All of this indicates that the Altrians were completely unprepared for their capital to be suddenly bombed!

Amidst their despairing gazes, the player skillfully maneuvered their fighter jet, occasionally relying on dive bombing to take down certain anti-aircraft points below, quickly dismantling the ground-based anti-aircraft firepower.

Immediately afterwards, the planes dispersed in different directions, circling over their respective targets and launching fierce bombing raids on one important building after another.

"No, that's my steel mill!"

"Oh my God! My oil refinery!"

The councilors who had hidden themselves, along with other nobles of the Altera, felt their hearts bleed as they listened to the bad news coming from outside.

The factory that is being bombed right now is their life's work, and it is their important asset!
The thought of their businesses being reduced to ashes by the enemy's bombardment made many members of parliament, nobles, and capitalists feel like fainting on the spot.

They would rather have the slums or other residential areas in the city bombed than have their own businesses bombed!
