A series of explosions from 155mm artillery shells pummeled the long newly built trench lines of the Dylaslan Royal Army. This were then followed by quick advance of a collection of armored vehicles.From a command and control Pandur II APC at the back, the various intelligence aircraft up above both manned and unmanned were giving real time overview of the whole battlefield. The primary targets were the Dylaslan airships, on which a few were already shot down by either the F-16's or by the SU-30's."ENEMY AIRSHIPS SOUTHEAST 20 KILOMETERS OUT! BE ON THE LOOKOUT!" radioed in by the section commander.For the last few days these airships were providing suppressive fire from their "guided rockets".

The airships are also staying at their maximum range as they could be easily destroyed by Cardonian tanks once they were close enough.Dylaslan artillery are also given limited use as Cardonia

But how the town was carved on this side of the mountain, almost half of it is inside the mountain itself. Their a
