Austronesian Empire, Imperial Maharlika, Mindanao, General Santos City, In The Outskirts Of General Santos

2000, 2, 1st Week, January

Since the event of the sunrise, the clouds of the storm have now effectively dispersed. Under the bright, warm sky of this new world, flickers of light and the smell of smokeless gunpowder reverberates through the entire surroundings. Within a few moments after each flash of light with the deafening explosions that followed, dozens of armed boots began pounding the ground as soldiers rushed towards another location, only for the scene to repeat.

"Flying bogies at two o'clock! Shoot it down!" a soldier shouted.

Upon hearing the command, some soldiers immediately redirected their fire towards their side. With the benefit of sunlight, they could now take full advantage of their weaponry, because of the fact that their vision wasn't restricted anymore.

Overhead, several AH-12 Thunderwings attack helicopters were making rounds in the air as they pummeled the demons on the ground with efficient fire support to the ground troops below. Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted from the far center of the city. With the chopping sound from the rotor blade of the thunderwing attack helicopter became even more violent as they ascended to a higher altitude to investigate the source of the deafening sound.

However, as the thunderwings were rising up in altitude, they made a fatal mistake when a flying building suddenly flew towards them. Who would have expected that there was a demon that could throw literal buildings up high in the air? 

One Thunderwing fired a barrage of rockets, shattering the airborne building and narrowly avoiding disaster. The other AH-12 wasn't as fortunate as it was being struck and was sent billowing down to the ground with its entire crew killed on impact. The Thunderwing crashed into a building, resulting in an immensely loud explosion.

To the boots on the ground, the only thing the soldiers had on their faces was a look of terror as a new type of demon seemed to have appeared. To worsen the situation, an ear-piercing roar resounded across the battlefield. The troops were momentarily stunned, but they were able to recover just in time to continue firing at the demons.

"Don't mind it! We have artillery and air support arriving soon! Forward!" a commanding officer shouted with vigor.

Soon, the armored corps arrived, and have now entered the various streets that required heavy support. Meanwhile, dozens of artillery shells rained down on the city center, where an endless swarm of demon monsters seemed to be pouring out.

BOOM!

The MTF-16, or the Mobile Tank Fortress, known to be as the most heaviest and largest tanks that was ever built within the Liberation Army had stopped in the middle of the streets and fired a shot, sending dust everywhere suddenly swirled and flew away, to which was followed by a deafening explosion on the far side of the battlefield.
