Yan Xing didn't check how many Divine Beasts he had shot down; regardless, the entire airspace had become significantly emptier.
Their own aerial units had suffered heavy losses, and the Wildwind Principality's forces weren't faring much better.
Realizing that Divine Beasts alone could not seize air supremacy, Anderson ordered three nearby airships to push forward.
These were airborne firepower platforms he had received from Cloud Tower; he couldn't let such powerful weapons go unused out of fear of the Eternal Domain's air power.
The three airships, spaced one thousand meters apart, advanced in a spearhead formation—one leading and two following. Under the cover of numerous aerial units and with their Defense Magic fully active, they flew towards the Eternal Domain's positions.
Seeing Anderson deploy the airships, Yan Xing immediately ordered all Dive Bombers still loaded with aerial bombs to ascend to high altitude.
