Chapter 134: 134

The runway at the air force base near Manila buzzed with frenetic energy. In the stark illumination of runway lights, a flotilla of F-4 Phantom II fighter aircraft stood poised, ready to defy the impending threat. Pilots, summoned by the blaring alarms that echoed through the barracks, rushed to their assigned planes. An emergency report had shattered the stillness of the night, revealing that a squadron of Japanese aircraft was closing in on Manila airspace with ominous intentions. The clock ticked down, giving the Philippine Air Force a mere five minutes to scramble and intercept the intruders before they could unleash havoc upon the city.

In the organized chaos on the ground, personnel waved lightsticks, guiding the sleek F-4 Phantoms onto the runway. Pilots, clad in flight suits, swiftly boarded their respective aircraft. Each fighter jet, a symbol of technological prowess, stood ready to defend against the looming threat.
