Draiss watched the forces beginning to adapt, and hummed to himself before checking the clock. They were adapting far faster than expected, nearly twice as fast, barely seven minutes and already they were learning that misdirection spells would give them a slightly better chance. The ethereal jaunt actually made him laugh though, as the succubi came out and were immediately turned into slush by the flamer units that were facing inward and scatter in small groups throughout the fortress, sonic and force attacks spreading their bodies everywhere. "Of course it is a massacre. Patriotism is not dying for your lord or country or god, but making some other bastard die for his. I would count this as a win even if I pull back right now. I have inflicted severe casualties on the enemy, and have taken no permanent damage so far. Hold one."<br/><br/>Draiss hummed, before watching the boulders land far off from his fortresses, but one good hit would make a breach, and a second would be a death sentence for the fortresses. Time for phase 1C, well ahead of schedule. "DWA, scramble all air. Vrocks and air enemy inbound to the fortresses, and enemy defensive siege area being to come online."<br/><br/>One particularly close hit to a fortress knocked several line warriors off the side wall and dented it, but the repair drones had them quickly back on their feet and returning to their positions, which was two feet further in than before the boulder. "Scramble all air, now. And ready the Gray Lady, full rear bay with anti army payload, put her in standby seven."<br/><br/>A new screen joined the other four large screens, on the far left, showing dozens of lighter armored medium constructs, and all of them running toward their launch bays, not bothering to find their squads, simply forming flights of four and morphing into their air forms, before screaming down the launch tunnels into portals, a voice in the background. "All air units, scramble, scramble, scramble, this is not a drill, grab and go, grab and go, grab and go. All air units..."<br/><br/>The voice continued to direct air units to get into the battle field, as huge constructs began to appear several miles above the field of battle. The smaller Air walker squads were appearing around the huge Phoenix bombers, and were diving down toward the air units that were close enough to begin harassing the fortresses, the Air Walkers coming in fast, weapons blazing and strafing the comparatively motionless demons below, explosions and beam fire tearing them apart as the Air Walkers broke into pairs, and began hunting down the various demons that had foolishly gotten into their domain. Other Air Walkers, were approaching the fortress in evasive patterns, banking left and then rolling right, showing why they had their names as they fired at the various catapults, shredding the siege engines and butchering their crews. The huge Pheonix Bombers were strafing the areas where the demons had concealed their advance, tearing up huge swatches of land with their energy bombs and turrets, forgoing the accuracy of the Air walkers and Line warriors to saturate the area and deny the enemy the chance to survive due to sheer luck. One bomber was laced with enemy magic, and its inner left engine detonated, blowing the wing off and opening its left manufacturing plant to the air, spewing its bombs everywhere as it arced down into the ground, before detonating, wiping out the enemy that had hit it and everything within several hundred feet of it.
