Stag Queen takes action

"Locate Taurus!!!"

Henry's voice echoed as he tore through the thick layer of the worm's skin with his frequency claws, plunging into its body without hesitation.

A signal appeared on his indicator, indicating that Li Wei was located 30 meters down below in the stomach of the creature.

He activated his thrusters, searing through the flesh of the worm and forcing his way downward. The Greed Worm screamed, writhing in agony from the intense pain. Li Wei found himself immersed in the acidic, mushy fluids of the creature's stomach. Despite his efforts to move, he was constricted by the tightness of the stomach walls, surrounded by slippery mucus and pitch-black darkness.

Feelings of bitterness consumed him as he contemplated his fate within the confines of the worm's stomach. The notion of meeting his end in such a mundane manner, trapped within the belly of an alien creature, weighed heavily on his mind. He yearned for a death befitting a warrior, fighting valiantly until the very end, rather than succumbing to the depths of a creature's digestive system.

Out of the darkness, a sudden hand reached out and pulled him from the depths, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness of the worm's stomach.

Henry seized Li Wei's shoulder, and together they surged upward, breaking through the fleshy confines of the worm's body and emerging into the open air once more.

Finally, they emerged back into the light, leaving behind the writhing, screaming Greed worm, which thrashed in pain and fury, wreaking havoc across the battlefield and destroying countless machines in its path.

Henry and Li Wei fought off the incoming Entomons, swiftly dispatching them one by one with their advanced combat skills and weaponry. After clearing the immediate threat, they landed on the side of the humans, ready to regroup and strategize for the next phase of the battle.

The Stag Queen, growing bored with the prolonged skirmish, issued commands to launch a full-scale attack on the human forces.

Suddenly, the planet was enveloped in darkness as the Entomons began descending. It resembled a black cloud poised to engulf the entire planet.

Billions of Entomons penetrated the planet's atmosphere and clashed against the battleships. Humans were falling like leaves in the face of the sudden increase in the assault.

"Deploy the Mother Ships!!!"

Henry shouted with a grim expression on his face as he gazed at the dark sky filled with Entomons. He witnessed numerous battleships crashing onto the ground and exploding, while others flew into the swarm of Entomons in a suicidal crash akin to kamikaze attacks.

The invisible Motherships, previously stationed in a secure area, stealthily maneuvered into the clusters of Entomons. As the Entomons descended, some collided with an invisible barrier. The cover of the Motherships was blown, but they paid no heed to the puzzled Entomons and swiftly accelerated their flight. Before the Entomons could organize their thoughts, the Motherships exploded.

"BOOM....!!!"

A deafening explosion ripped a large hole into the clusters of Entomons. The fireball disintegrated the surrounding Entomons, while the blast wave pushed others miles away from the epicenter of the explosion, resulting in millions of injuries.

The force of the blast wave was so immense that it even pushed back the humans on the ground, demonstrating the sheer power of the explosion.

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

The explosion continued to rip through the atmosphere of the planet, annihilating countless numbers of Entomons in its path.

When the Stag Queen witnessed the devastation caused by the explosion, her rage knew no bounds.

"SCREECH!!!"

She let out a deafening screech as she commanded her elite forces to launch a counterattack.

"Buzzz…"

With a powerful flap of her steel-like wings, she surged toward the planet, her elite warriors trailing closely behind.

Her metallic shells began to glow with intense heat as she descended through the atmosphere.

"BOOOM!"

Her impact was akin to that of a meteor, creating a massive crater upon landing and sending shockwaves that blasted away all nearby humans and Entomons.

She emerged from the crater, her form radiating with menace as she fixed her gaze upon Henry, her eyes brimming with hatred and a palpable intent to kill.

"Bam!!"

She pounded the earth with her massive feet and lunged forward, hurtling straight toward Henry with incredible speed even with her massive size. Henry was very surprised by its speed and positioned himself in a defensive stance.

"Buzzz…"

With lightning speed, the Stag Queen appeared directly in front of Henry. Anticipating her attack, Henry swiftly dodged and countered with a sweeping claw motion, aiming to keep the Stag Queen at a distance.

As Henry focused on dodging and defending against the Stag Queen's relentless assault, a warning signal blared from his suit, alerting him to a new threat.

"Enemy approaching from behind!" Leto's warning echoed through Henry's suit, alerting him to the imminent danger.

Before Henry could react, he found himself ensnared by the Stag King's powerful claw. Despite his efforts to escape, he was firmly trapped within its grasp, unable to break free.

The creaking sound echoed as the Stag King increased the pressure of her claw, exerting immense force on Henry's Atom suit.

"Protect the Lt General!!!"

As the tension heightened, shouts filled the air as everyone scrambled to rescue Henry. Li Wei, recognizing the urgency, swiftly disengaged from the entanglement and dashed to aid Henry.

Before anyone could intervene, the Stag Queen seized Henry's lower body and forcefully tore it apart, rending his Atom suit in two.

"Crunch..."

To everyone's astonishment, the "Winter Wolf," a Titan-class Atom suit, was torn in half from the waist. The Stag King held the upper half of the Winter Wolf's body as a trophy, lifting it proudly for all to see. Among the Entomons, the Winter Wolf was renowned as a formidable leader and one of the toughest adversaries. They were aware of the numerous Noble Entomons who had fallen at his hands. Without the intervention of the Stag Queen, they would have been unsure how to overcome this human adversary.

Some of the humans who rushed to the rescue slumped to the ground in defeat. "It's over…" one of the soldiers said, tears welling in his eyes as he gazed at the torn Winter Wolf.

As the Stag King reveled in his triumph, a smaller figure suddenly dropped from the top half of the Winter Wolf. Henry still with his Bio-suit standing at a mere 5-meter tall, seemed insignificant compared to the imposing Stag King.

With a sudden burst of speed, the diminutive human shot upward, aiming directly for the vulnerable spot between the joints of the Stag King's carapace. Henry effortlessly tore through the neck, taking advantage of the weakened area from their previous encounter on one of the asteroids. He penetrated the shell and entered the body of the Stag King.

"Screechhhhh….."

The Stag King emitted a piercing screech as he collided with his fellow Entomons, the agony unbearable.

Henry climbed inside the head of the Stag King and smashed the brain like scrambled eggs.

"Screeeeeechhhhhhhhhhhhhh….."

With a long screech filled with pain, the Stag King's body suddenly collapsed, and blue blood spewed from his mouth. In a pitiful end, he died.

Indeed, if the Stag King had been more cautious, he might have avoided such a fate.

The Stag Queen's rage reached its peak, and in a split second, she moved next to the Stag King's head, lifting his skull and crushing it into a pulp.

"Plop!"

Henry was squeezed out from the Stag King's head.

Henry smiled bitterly as he glanced at the wound on his stomach, realizing the severity of his injuries. He knew he should have died, were it not for the protection provided by the Stag King's skull and his bio-suit, which absorbed much of the pressure and damage.

With a bitter smile, Henry gazed at the Stag Queen, who returned his glare with intensity. Even without his injuries, he doubted he could survive the next few seconds. Nobody could stop the Stag Queen's wrath.

The Stag Queen looks at Henry who was bitterly smiling at her. She had enough of this human, she lifts her leg up and tries to crush him when suddenly a sword came flying at a lighting speed aiming at her eye.

The Stag Queen suddenly retreated when she saw a sword flying at her. As she moved back, a gigantic sword plunged into the ground with tremendous force...

The sword landed precisely where the Stag Queen had been moments before, embedding itself in the ground. Its imposing presence was evident as it reflected the sunlight, its sharpness apparent to all who beheld it. The Stag Queen glanced up and recognized the approaching figures, knowing they spelled trouble.

Several figures materialized in the sky, suspended in mid-air as they descended gracefully towards the ground. Behind them stretched a formidable army, comprised of billions of battleships and soldiers that tore through the ranks of the Entomons. Among them loomed hundreds of Motherships and several colossal Warships, stationed in space, overseeing the conflict below.

"Huuu…"

Henry exhaled deeply as he witnessed the arrival of reinforcements. Fatigue washed over him, and he collapsed to the ground, grateful for the chance to finally rest.

A Titan class Samurai Atom suit slowly landed next to Henry. It was Lieutenant General Akira. One of the great warriors known for his offensive, similar to Henry.

Akira glanced at Henry, a playful smirk gracing his lips. "Oi oi! Look at the fluffy dog. Is he still kicking?" he teased, while swiftly freezing Henry's stomach wound. As long as your brain isn't damaged, you can be healed from any type of injury, so this wasn't anything serious for the soldiers.

Several other high-ranking officers also descended to the ground, surrounding Henry.

"Is General Rick here?" Henry asked, his voice tinged with excitement.

"Stop talking! You'll find out soon," Akira snorts. "Aria! Take the fluffy dog to the General's ship," he ordered, then glanced at the Stag Queen, who had retreated into the cluster of her swarm.

"Yes, Lieutenant General!" She picks up Henry and his broken suits and flies away to General Rick's warship, Battlestar II.

The battlefield stabilized with the arrival of the new backup, bringing relief to the soldiers fighting on the front line.

Billions of battleships and Prugnator-Droids poured out from the warships and motherships, cutting through the Entomons like butter and pushing back the clusters of Entomons, at least momentarily.

The Warships and the Motherships started firing their heavy artilleries decimating everything in its path.

But even with the new incoming armies, the number of Entomons was too large; they could barely put a dent in the clusters of Entomons.

General Rick sat in the command room, his mind consumed by thoughts of his next move.

At present, their sole advantage lies in their firepower. However, the military resources at their disposal would only suffice to stabilize the battlefield for a few days.

"Initiate evacuation procedures for all personnel on the planet and signal for a retreat. We're abandoning this location; our priority is to conserve our strength for future engagements," General Rick ordered decisively.

"Yes, General!!"

The officers standing behind him echoed his orders with loud shouts, their voices resonating with determination and urgency.

The Battleships, with the support of heavy artillery from the Warships and Motherships, began to push back the Entomons, creating a path for the rescue operation. Millions of rescue ships descended onto the planet, swiftly evacuating the soldiers and transporting them to the safety of the Motherships.

The Stag Queen, disoriented by the sudden intervention of the new army, struggled to regroup her forces. She began to realize that the humans, despite their smaller stature and fewer numbers, possessed formidable power. They were able to confront stronger opponents and larger armies with surprising effectiveness.

Despite her anger towards Akira for nearly injuring her, the Stag Queen prioritized the pressing situation over seeking revenge. Without looking back, she flew off to her main cluster, recognizing the need to assess the situation and understand the capabilities of the new enemies before taking any further action.

The Stag Queen initiated the recall of her armies, and an apparent divide formed between the humans and the Entomons, almost as if an invisible barrier separated them.

"Tch! I wanted to fight the Queen, but I guess today isn't my lucky day," Akira sighed in disappointment. He leaped high from the ground, ignited his engine, and soared straight toward the Warship.

Akira knew his chances of winning against the Stag Queen were only 25%, giving himself a generous estimate. The surprise attack didn't even land on the Stag Queen; her reaction speed was too fast, and her instinct was on another level.

The rescue mission was complete, and the Stag Queen was regrouping the Entomons because she sensed the humans were preparing to retreat.

The new armies caught them off guard, as they were heavily focused on the planet. This put them at a disadvantage. While they might have been able to win the battle, the cost in Entomon lives would have been too high. The Stag Queen, cautious by nature, chose to retreat first. This cautious approach had kept her alive until now.

Feeling the pressure from the new opponents and their momentum, the Stag Queen realized she needed a new strategy and more armies. It was clear that these adversaries were formidable, and she needed to adapt quickly to counter their strength

The Stag Queen urgently dispatched a messenger to inform the Rhino King of the dire situation and request backup. She knew that she needed additional support to confront the formidable adversaries she now faced.

Gritting her teeth in frustration, the Stag Queen watched as the humans retreated from the battlefield. She knew she had to bide her time and strategize carefully for the next encounter.

With a determined mindset, the Stag Queen resolved to seek assistance from the Rhino King, despite her disdain for collaboration. She recognized the necessity of joining forces against the formidable adversaries they faced.

The mere thought of their adversaries filled her with rage, igniting a fierce determination within her to overcome them at any cost.

General Rick nods, his expression grave yet resolute. "Good. Prepare the fleet for departure. We'll set course for the rendezvous point and regroup with the rest of the fleet."

The officer swiftly inputs the coordinates into the navigation system. "Destination set for Planet Zeoter, General," he confirms.

The crew begins executing the orders, preparing the fleet for departure to Planet Zeoter.

With a flash, the spaceships disappeared into the wormhole, leaving the space silent once more.

"Did you get their coordinates?" The Stag Queen asked.

"Yes, my Queen," replied the messenger, confirming that they had obtained the coordinates.

"Rhino King will be here within an hour. Let them enjoy their one hour," the Stag Queen said before flying inside the mouth of a Leviathan.

She needs to devise some battle tactics. Despite the humans' smaller numbers, they possess formidable strength in both close combat and long-range attacks.

In a distant star system, on a pitch-black planet, deep within one of its largest caves, there emanates a screeching sound filled with excitement, as if it were a call or transmitting a signal.

"ROAR!!!"

A massive, gigantic eye suddenly opened, followed by a thunderous roar that echoed throughout the planet. Every Entomon on the world heard the roar and began screeching wildly, shaking the very foundations of the planet.
