it simply
the ships are burning away the city to get to the portal u see at the end of the Halo 3 mission "The Storm."
us humans built the city unwittingly on top of the portal
so the covenant need to destory the city to get to it
Yup, that and the Covenant have a bad habbit of glassing every planet they invade that's human occupied. The only reason they didn't glass all of Earth is because of Fourunner artifact they came across(the portal to the Ark).
