They were boxed in, demoralized, but they have a backup plan, an Ace in the Hole, a reckless final chance to save their precious kingdom, a fool's offensive on Vale's newly built super-fortress known to Germans as Leuchtfeuer Zitadelle or translated in english, Beacon Citadel. As sign from Atlas that they won't be so easily defeated, and possibly the beginning of Vale's freedom. Dozens of bullhead hovercrafts, no every single piece of aerial machinery they could muster and every single recruit Atlas could find have now been scrambled as a final chance at demolishing the vast Superfortress under the command of Koch Ross.
_____________________________________The skies of Vale soon roared with engines, fleets of seemingly a thousand bullheads emerged from the horizon, with one soul purpose. Soon the ginormous tower of doom came within sight. The Atlesian pilots were amazed by the concrete fortification.
Atlesian Pilot: There it is boys!
Atlesian Pilot 2: Holy hell! That's one hell of a tower.
Atlesian Pilot 3: Cut the chatter boys! Let's show these assholes that Atlas isn't going down without a fight!
Soon, anti-aircraft shells from the firm, gigantic concrete structure lit up the morning and turned the sky into a flurry of explosions, bullheads filled with young teenaged conscripts and older experienced veterans exploded and plummeted to the ground in balls of fire.
Atlesian Pilot 2: Evasive action!
Flocks of bullheads surrounded the Flaktower, swarming and firing missiles and every scrap of Dust they could throw at it. Androids were deployed by the dropships and assulted the entrance, which was covered by members of the SS and snipers on the construction scaffoldings. Panzerschrecks were even fired at the slow moving bullheads, which brought a big number of them down with ease.
SS Soldier: Ich haben!
SS Soldier 2: Ja der Atlesians!
A young conscript was unlucky enough to having been placed in a bullhead that was hit from it's behind by a 12.8 inch shell. The bullhead creaked and gave in, snapping in two. Dozens of Atlesian soldiers fell out to their deaths, the young conscript's eyes glared daggers at the Nazi super fortress with endless amounts hate as he along with many others plummeted to the ground.
Bullheads were able to land some men onto the Flaktower itself. Who were instantly onto the giant cannons that decorated the Flaktower's top. They destroyed one 12.8 inch gun, but were eventually repelled or killed by the SS soldiers who were occupying the Citadel. A large Atlesian frigate entered the fray, trying to assist in bringing down the concrete fortress, it began firing heavy laser cannons at the concrete tower, but was quickly zeroed in on and blasted to smithereens by the 12.8 inch cannons, shredded by the smaller flak guns that were on the sides.
Falling to the ground, the humongous airship exploded, killing thousands. The bullhead flock was much smaller now, a half of it's total starting force cut down. Atlesian soldiers and mechs also tried to rush the bottom, but were held off by the Nazi Storm Elite guards that dotted the ground entrance.
The Flaktower's guns continued on blazing bullets as it's attackers rotted, faltered and retreated. The Atlesian showed no more courage in continuing to try and destroy this monstrosity, the tower was simply... indestructible to the eyes of the poor soldiers who were sent on this suicide run. They retreated to Mistral to prepare for the Backup plan. A full scale invasion of Vale. trailed and picked off ruthlessly by Messerschmidt and Volksjäger fighters that had just arrived at the scene.
