City of Horror is the sixty-first offline mission in Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair.
Objective[]
2025:
4.1: A group of dragons is attacking civilians indiscriminately. Proceed to the location on a rescue mission. The dragons have massive combat capability, far beyond that of the giant insects we've encountered thus far. They are formidable foes, but we won't be deterred! Prepare to deploy!
Storyline[]
Dragons appear in the city and begin attacking civilians. Storm Team and a couple groups of Rangers go to intercept, which is then about the time when the name of the mission begins to make sense. The Artillery Team, Various EDF Bombers, Porters, and Whale all come under attack from the Dragons who are able to outpace them and destroy them; The casualty count is through the roof while everyone panics, cluttering the radio up. Storm Team eventually beats back all of the dragons in the area, completing the mission.

4.1[]
Bring any weapons capable of defeating a large number of flying enemies. There are a lot of dragons in his level. There are many ally EDF teams as well, however due to the dragons tendency to grapple attack similar to that of a Crimson Ant; most, if not all, will be killed throughout the mission. Artillery, Airstrikes, Gunships, & Vehicles will be unavailable, effectively neutering the Air Raider.
