A Covenant | The two Spartans took out the two nearby Covenant Shade emplacements, and cleared the way for a Pelican to deliver a [[M12R Rocket Warthog|Rocket Warthog]]. Covenant heavy anti-aircraft artillery, meanwhile, was preventing the UNSC from bringing heavy air support into play. A Covenant {{Pattern|Cheru|Tyrant}} with a commanding view of the battlefield was inflicting casualties on the UNSC's airpower, so the two Spartans were assigned to destroy it. The two succeeded, clearing the skies for three [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longswords]] that made a bombing run on the main Covenant force, destroying the three Scarabs serving as the linchpin of the Covenant defense. The strike punched a hole in the Covenant's lines, allowing UNSC Scorpions and Warthogs on the plains to advance upon the rest of the Covenant force. The {{Class|Paris|heavy frigate}}s {{UNSCShip|Grafton}} and {{UNSCShip|Saratoga}} also moved in on the battlefield, supporting ground units with their [[M910 point defense network|point defense guns]]. A Pelican placed a [[deployable bridge]] to replace a destroyed one near the AA gun, allowing Six and Kat to progress further towards the Covenant lines.{{Ref/Reuse|tip}} | ||
