Less than a minute later, the Aegis-9 formation fully reached the tower.
The sky around the rooftop became a storm of rotor wash and tracer fire.
THOOM THOOM THOOM THOOM THOOM!~
The helicopters spread outward around the building in disciplined positioning, surrounding multiple sides of the tower while maintaining elevation differences between each craft.
Their massive rotors churned smoke and dust into spiraling currents that rolled across nearby rooftops.
Loose cloth, shattered glass and dried blood were dragged across the concrete surface beneath the violent wind pressure.
Side doors remained open on nearly every striker.
UPSDF gunners sat secured behind mounted weapons while sniper units remained braced near the door frames with magnetic harnesses attached to their waists or boots.
Every muzzle flash lit the darkening skyline in bursts of orange-white.
The gunner fire came relentlessly.
BRRRRRRTTTT!~
Heavy rounds tore into the horde scaling the tower walls.
