Haj and Kiq were investigating the strange object seen in the forest clearing. Arriving there about to get closer when the noise well NOT LOUD but a hissing sound above them and looking up the sight getting larger and larger and descending ..
The alien transporter was the first ever seen .. no fear of something that you cannot KNOW cannot UNDERSTAND cannot COMPREHEND for whatever it is?
A vessel that would deliver the first of those who were there to take over the planet. Enslave and ensure complete obedience.
The WARLORDS were not using the Portei Semperu they were sending in ground troops to find IF there were one. A special device they had used above the planet had identified a signal that indicated its approx location.
BUT this planet they had recognised as primitive. Something had almost completely transformed it.. a completely new ‘ recycled ’ planet so from its ancient past which meant many changes could lead to the original Portei Semperu hard to recover.
True, Hai and Kiq knew nothing of it. What they did sense was not good. FEAR of the unknown, of this strange object and CRAFT was NOT in their vocabulary.. The cave drawings had pictures of the strange beings who had arrived on this planet a long long time ago..
Ancient stories existed amongst the tribes.. none were anything to say take care, be careful. BEWARE?
They would stay back in the shadows, undercover. Wait, watch and ? Arrows primed with the toxic poison from a FROG that shed the toxin and nothing they had ever seen could resist that..
For the aliens.. the WARLORDS troops were NOT prepared for such a primitive attack.. Arrows are fast, silent and with that toxin; killers.. as they would soon realize when their hostilities against the PRIMITIVES the slaughter would see retaliation.
As for the creatures that inhabited that forest.. Huge almost gorilla like and when they attacked they literally tore apart the troopers ripping them to shreds.. It seemed the body armour they carried was natural shell like heavy and reistant to the troopers weapons..
Balls that when thrown from slings at the troopers burst open releasing a liquid yes PETROLEUM raw unfiltered, with PHOSPHOROUS that immediately on release the oxygen turned the troopers into fireballs..
Traps that had them falling through to sharp spears that punctured their form.. again coated with that toxic frog killer coating.. Rotting corpses that could be smelled by the hypersensitive nostrils of the troopers..
Some instant body functions that left troopers stumbling around unable to retain their composure..
Ah yes one might say ducks in a shooting arcade.. Arrows finding their targets. the invaders were heading back to the craft well those that remained. Over 50% slaughtered.. The primitives had removed heads and shoved them onto stakes that they formed around the craft..
Stepping out the smell the sight of the unfolding nightmare.. was not the primitives. The warlords were furious.
Their nearest backup force was some distance away. Across a galactic zone that was already a warzone.
For now they had no choice but to threaten the commander of the current craft..
ELIMINATE the primitives opposition or face the WARLORDS retribution. in short EXECUTION..
The choice was simple .. DESTROY the PRIMITIVES or else.. Sending out more of the troopers ?
Down to only 20% aboard the craft.
Take off use the cannons ? The primitives had use a UROC a giant eagle like creature that dropped rocks that contained TREXYL a highly flammable substance NOT like the phosphorus, it required some well one might say BRIGHT SPARK to ignite it..
Dropping FLINT. THAT SMASHED AGAINST THE CRAFT... sparks.. ooo lots and lots of SPARKS.. but the electrical properties of the CRYSTALITE amplified them .. FLASHES of energy washed across the craft.
A high ENERGY BURST the invaders discovered now trashed their energy control systems.. overloading them.
FRIED the systems.. defenseless, as that mix started to explode and TREXYL is highly combustive.. IF the craft could resist some of that the ground underneath could not..
it was giving way and unfortunately for the invaders? Subsidence and a massive collapsing of the ground beneath them.. the craft shifted the front now dropping into a huge crater.
The coolant tubes as we would know them.. at risk from being destroyed. NO Internal regulation could be made those control systems were trashed. Repairs could be made but any extra weight to where they were located would see the craft drop lower..
The cannons could not be used.. systems failures ensured that but the front submerged also resulted in the craft power systems rendered useless. IF it moved anymore became even more submerged the risk of an NUCLEIC implosion could totally destroy the craft..
More heads on stakes.. the primitives were celebrating one might even say .. whooping it up..
Prayers and thanks to their GODS! Ah yes indeed and ones that were once upon a time..
POWERFUL and their protectors.. ?
