Falcon One continued south.
The secured route narrowed between taller buildings. Several intersections below had temporary positions manned by infantry, while recovery vehicles waited farther behind the active platoons.
The sound of gunfire reached the helicopter even through the cabin. Several short bursts followed before the streets became quiet again.
A few moments later, South One entered Falcon One's Radar.
Friendly markers spread across three streets.
Echo One moved ahead of the main formation.
The Guardian APCs followed behind them, with infantry squads divided between the buildings and the road. Several red markers remained farther south, clustered around an intersection South One had not yet entered.
The pilot slowed the helicopter.
"South One in sight."
Hans leaned closer to the window.
From the ground, the platoon always seemed spread across an enormous area. From above, its formation became clear at once.
