Four grenade launchers and a .50 caliber machine gun fixed its sights on the dozens of small, rolling monsters toward these troops. But before the little monsters got within shooting range, Richard got new information.
”South side!”
James came out of the humvee and turned his gaze south. He picked up a binocular and found dozens more critters approaching from the south; it seemed that their numbers were still growing.
”This seems to be the group of critters we had encountered earlier. They seem to be chasing us.”
Richard coordinated with Captain Marcus, the commanding officer of three platoons totaling 150 soldiers. The 4 ASV vehicles split into two lines, facing west and facing south, while the three platoons divided into three, two guarded the front along with the two ASVs, while the last platoon made its way to the rear, guarding the humvee of President McCord.
James didn't want to stay still and came out of the vehicle to watch the fight. He was confident he could handle himself because he was also an earth realm fighter. Since that evolution, James had felt that all the remnants of the bone ailments he had faced during those years in the wheelchair were gone. He now had the same fighting capability of other earth realm fighters.
James, along with Richard and ten secret service guards, guarded the armored humvee that the president was riding on. In no time at all, they were ready to fight hundreds of critters that were coming in from two directions.
Captain Markus shouted, ”Ready! Shoot!”
The ASV launched its grenade launcher in the middle of the critters.
”SSSHTTT SSHHTTT SHHTTT SSHTTT
KABOOMM !! KABOOO !! KABOOMM !! KABOMM !!!
The sea of critters seemed to have made holes in the area where the grenades exploded. They had split apart due to the shockwave and the strength of the explosion. Next came the .50 caliber machine gun in action.

The rain of high caliber bullets also made holes in the tough skin of the critters. Only one in three critters had made it into the firing range of an army force after the barrage of the machine guns. And at that time, these marines were ready to give these monsters from the abyss hell.
”Soldiers! Fire at will!” shouted Captain Mark.
”Give em' hell!” The soldiers answered in unison.
”Fire! Die! Kill them all!”

Another rain of bullets from the assault rifle M16 with 5.56x45mm NATO rounds hit the remaining critters, but it wasn't strong enough to penetrate the critters' spiked skin. Fortunately, some of these troops were equipped with the new X16 weapon that used high caliber .50 cal bullets.
BANG!! BANG!! BANG!!!
The shower of high caliber bullets and grenade launchers eliminated the monsters in the open field in just a matter of minutes. Although there were some critters that had reached the soldiers themselves, they were easily picked apart since all these three platoons were experienced peak stage mortal realm fighters. The hundreds of critters finally split apart and fled.
After things had calmed, Elizabeth got out of the humvee and looked at the aftermath. The yellow wilderness had been filled with corpses of critters and dozens of soldiers were chosen to find and collect the spirit stones.
Captain Markus, a man with a large body and a long mustache, looked proud at the success of the company he had led. ”Hahaha! They're retreating boys! We've given 'em hell!”
The rest of the soldiers cheered at this victory. While they were laughing, however, Captain Mark noticed the rising dust in the distance.
”Incoming! From the south!”
Richard replied, ”Critters again?”
”It doesn't seem like it. Even if there were hundreds of those little monsters, they wouldn't blow dust like that. It's something big. ”
The soldiers got into positions once more and were on high alert.
”What a monster!” said Captain Markus.
The monster arriving had the face of a bull with two giant horns protruding from its head. It got ready to charge with its body that was as large as a truck.
