《FINAL WAR: ENTOMONS》Chapter 17: Bait
Advertisement
Planet Zeoter.
Millions of Mobile Battlestations, hundreds of Motherships and Warships descended down on the planet Zeoter. General Rick was on the Warship infirmary looking at Henry who was submerged inside a tube filled with some kind of liquid.
"70%....80%," a monotone computer voice reported. "90%...100%. Healing completed." The machine scans one more time and the liquid started draining leaving the naked Henry floating inside the tube with a pipe mask on his face.
The machine gave some kind of sock signal to Henry waking him up from his somber. Henry opened his eyes and took off his mask puking out some liquid residual from his stomach. The tube slowly lifted up and Henry walked out of the medical tube, he took the robe handed to him by the medical staff and wore it hurriedly, and went to give a military salute to Rick who was standing with a few high ranking officers waiting for him.
"At ease soldier! Let's go and talk while eating, you must be hungry."
Rick pat Henry's shoulder and all of them walked inside General Rick's private dining room. The food was already displayed on the table, everything was ready before they came in. They sat down and started having a meal.
"How's your body? You feeling alright?" the General asked.
"I'm feeling great, Sir! I will be ready for combat after a few minutes of rest." Henry replied.
"We have repaired your "Winter Wolf", It's already in your personal armory," Rick said while eating.
"Thank you, General!" Henry was happy to hear that his Atom suit has been fixed. Unlike Bio-suits, Atom suits don't have healing abilities due to their massive size, and Winter Wolf was his second body. The materials required to repair higher grades of Atom suit were incredibly expensive.
"You did well out there." Rick complimented. "Thank you, General!" Henry replied. Rick sighed, looking at Henry who was gobbling down his meal.
"It must have been tough on you," Rick said sadly.
"It was nothing, General! I just did my duty, and I believe any other soldiers would have done the same." Henry replied.
All of them were having a discussion about the war and the enemies Henry fought. Soon, they finish their meal.
"Go and take some rest. We will soon be having another battle," Rick said after they had their meal.
"Yes, General! And thank you for the meal," Henry gave a salute and went to the docking station. He got into a spaceship and went to his own Warship. The first thing he did when he got into his Warship was checking on his Atom suit. He saw that his Atom suit has been repaired to its perfect condition, which made him sigh a relief. He touches the smooth surface of the suit and remembers the flashback of his battle against the Stag Queen.
'I will never let that happen again,' he made a vow in his mind.
General Rick and his officers were standing at the command center looking down on the soldiers below, who were busy preparing for war.
"Everyone get ready! Bait them to the 3 planets and retreat back to the extract point as we planned." Rick said. The other two planets were Harlen and Kovas.
"Yes, Sir!" The officers gave their salutes and retreated back to their stations.

Planet IC2-P4S37
The Stag Queen was standing on the top of a Leviathan surrounded by her swarm. She was waiting impatiently for the Rhino King.
Suddenly a wormhole appeared a few thousand miles away from the clusters of Entomons. Many Entomons started pouring out from wormhole along with a few gigantic Leviathans.
The most eye-catching among these new batch of Leviathans is the 3.1miles in height and 5 miles long Leviathan. It was huge and towered above the rest of the Leviathans, and it got darker skin colors and thicker skin. The Rhino King was standing on the top of the Leviathan's head with an imposing manner. He brought 38 billion Entomons with him, along with thousands of higher class of Entomons like Bruiser, Berserker and Champion Entomons.
The Rhino King was one of the strongest King under Rhino Queen who had a bigger swarm and higher status than the Stag Queen.
The Noble Entomons have a low population, but each and every one of them has extraordinary combat powers and they have the ability to command other lower Entomons. Their defenses are so thick that they are basically immune to all of the attacks from the lower class of the Entomons.
The Rhino King approaches the Stag King and stood beside her, which infuriated the Stag Queen. In a real custom, he should have knelt down and wait until she signals him to rise, but she could do nothing against him as she is the one who is asking for help.
The Rhino King didn't hide his lecherous eyes, as he looked at the body of the Stag Queen. He has been obsessed with the Stag Queen and tried to court her many times. He was never given a chance and this time, he will never leave the Stag Queen alone. Since she asked for his help, she cannot refuse him.
The Stag Queen felt disgusted just looking at the Rhino King's eyes going all over her body. But she didn't have a choice. She had to perform the task and she had to succeed in the mission. There is no option for failure, she knew if she failed, It will be worse than death.
She shuddered thinking about the punishment. This is also her chance to grow her strength, so she took the mission. She doesn't want to be bound to anyone, especially the Empress, who is the true Queen of this Galaxy.
"SCREECH!!!...."
She screeches and gave out commands to her subordinates. The Leviathans started moving out, and charge their energies. After a few seconds, space started vibrating as the leviathans shoot out negative repulsive energies at the location where General Rick and his soldiers vanish. The energy tore through space and a deep wormhole appeared.
"ROAR!!!.."
The Leviathans roar as they charge straight into the wormhole along with swarms of Entomons.
-----------------------------------------
Planet Zeoter...
Everybody could see the wormhole opening up in a distance space, far away from the 3 planets. 100s of Billions of screeching Entomons poured out of the wormhole.
They resemble demons coming out from hell.
Everyone clutch their weapons tight as they ready for the incoming enemies. Battleships and Motherships line up in the space as they are ready to take the frontal assault.
"Everyone get ready for battle!!!" General Rick shouted. He then looked at the clusters of Entomons approaching at an incredible speed.

As the clusters of Entomons was closing in on the planets.
"FIRE!!!...."
Rick shouted. Space almost distort at the amount of firepower fired at Entomons. Missiles were launched creating huge explosions and sweeping the approaching enemies, killing millions of Entomons in the process. The heavy firepower to stop the enemies right on their tracks.
The Stag Queen and the Rhino King were behind the cluster looking at the battlefield. Even though they were halted from moving forward, they don't believe the enemies could hold on for long. The damage they cause can be neglected as they numbers in hundreds of billions.
The Entomons started spreading in all directions and starts approaching from everywhere.
The humans look this and they shiver. Even though they had face the Entomons many times, but they are still scared of them. It was like an endless nightmare. The Entomon numbers seemed endless, no matter how many they kill.
Seeing the enemy approaching from everywhere, Rich gave out multiple orders.
'It's time to bait them to the planets.' He thought.
"Prepare for a retreat." He shouted. The battleships began retreated to the planets and neatly arrange themselves in formations.
"Screeechhhh…."
The Entomons covered the whole sky and start descending down on the planets.
As soon as they descended down to the human-occupied area, they were obliterated into pieces. A Leviathan tried to crash in, into the human's campsite, but she was obliterated into pieces by the heavy artilleries.
Planet Zeoter has a much better defense system than some random Planets in IC2, and the cities were equipped with more powerful weapons and a higher energy system.
Seeing the situation, the Stag Queen knew she needs to come up with a solution rather than heading straight into the enemy's territories.
"Screeechhh…."
She screeches as she started commanding her swarms. The Entomons started retreating from the human camps and landed someplace safe.
The Stag Queen along with the Rhino King standing on the top of the Leviathans lead their elite warriors and started descending far away from the cities. The Leviathans than start pouring legged Entomons from their mouths. Billions of sharp and spiky legged Entomons, standing around 3 meters tall started coming out from the Leviathans mouths and start charging towards the cities while screeching. A few gigantic worm-like creatures could be seen slithering out from the mouth of the Leviathans and dive inside the ground like it was sand.
"Ground troops! Get ready!!!" General Rick shouted as he looked at the Entomons shrieking and charging towards them.
Soldiers started lining up with their mini-Atom suits, along with billions of Meta-humans, Prugnator-Droids, and cyborgs. Due to the sheer size of the suits, the amounts of material needed to create a colossus Atom suit is too high. So, not everyone can wear a colossus Atom suit. But there is a mini version of Atom suit, they are similar in many ways, both have advanced features and materials, except for the size and power.
The Atom suits were made out of Titanan alloy and pure graphene. Titanan alloy is a new metal made out of Titanium and Nanian metal N-E1. Higher grades of Atom suits are made out of higher Titanan alloy like N-D1 or even N-A1 and thicker layers of pure graphene or Carbyne. Some of the Atom suits like the "Bald Eagle" and "The Achilles" are made out of pure Nanian metals N-B1 and Nanian fibers which is stronger than pure graphene.
"Thump… Thump… Thump…"
Heavy footsteps could be heard in the cities as millions of mini-Atom suits and Atom suits line up in the wide grasslands outside of the main city. They were carrying higher grades of Mega Guns and Giga Guns in hands and aim at the incoming Entomons.
Prugnator-Droid tanks line up behind the soldiers and charge their energy guns.
"FIRE!!!...."
Rick shouted.
"Pew... pew... pew…"
The Propugnator-Droid tanks release bullet and landed in the swarms of Entomons who were charging towards them.
"BOOM… BOOM… BOOM…."
The Entomons were blasted into smithereens, killing millions of Entomons. The bullets and the lasers from the soldiers tore through the front Entomons, it was a one-sided slaughter for the moment. But the Entomons keep charging towards the cities like nothing happen.
The soldiers who were busy killing the Entomons suddenly felt the ground trembling. Before they could realize what was happening.
"BOOM!!!..."
A giant worm burst out of the ground and swallowed a 20 to 30 soldiers wearing mini-Atom suits.
"AAAAAAAAA!!!...."
Their companions went crazy and fired everything they had, but it was not effective.
When they felt everything was lost, a spear-like metal tore through the colossus worm-like papers and there was a huge hole in its stomach. It was one of the heavy artilleries 6A-Rail guns from the Prugnator-Droids tanks.
"ROARRR…."
The Greedworm roars and dives into the ground again. Even though the hole was big, it was a tiny wound for the Greed Worm. The Greedworm was too big and they got too much vitality. The soldiers don't know how to respond to the attack of the Greedworm as it comes from the underground and also they were too hard to kill. Not only were they fast, but they will also dive underground as soon as they get hurt or sense any danger. It was one hell of an annoying opponent.
"If only we have enough of those guns, these f*ckers will be nothing." shouted one of the soldiers with extreme anger. The energy and materials needed to tore through the colossus worm is enormous. That's why, when the leaders of the military said, they can kill any enemies, it's just a matter of resources.
The battle continued with both sides at a stalemate, as long as the human side had enough resources, they could win this battle. But, their resources were draining rapidly.
"The Stag Queen is nowhere to be seen. None of her elites warriors and Noble Entomons have yet joined the battle. Maybe they are planning for an ambush," Rick said looking deeply into the enemy's camp who was far away from the city.
The Entomons were slowly gaining the upper hand. They remain numerous, no matter how much you kill them.
More and more Greed Word shows on the frontline destroying everything in their vicinity and retreated back to the ground as soon as they are done.
"Retreat back to the second line." Rick gave out orders as he watches the battles.
The soldiers who were battling in the frontline receive the orders. They began retreating slowly to the second line of defense.

8 129Cheaters Always Win
Chester Everheart knew that life wasn't fair. Some were born in situations where it was almost impossible to succeed, whereas others were born with a silver spoon with everything at their disposal. A scant few were dropped into another world, filled with monsters and magic and forced to fend for themselves. The latter was a rare, somewhat ridiculous trope; but it happened to him anyway. Despite this he followed a motto that applied regardless of the dimension he was in. Playing fair is for suckers, and cheaters always win. Cheaters Always Win is a comedy-adventure that I've had churning in my head for a couple years now. I'd like to think it still has the charm that most LitRPGs have while also being unique in its own way. Every arc of the story will subsequently have a 'Level Complete' chapter that details all the stats, levels, equipment, etc. gained by the main cast of characters.

8 174The Mermaid's Shoal
Elfyn O Se has lived by the laws of the sea his whole life. He'd go by Elf to his friends if he had any left, but at least his crew are willing to work with him, and it's not because he accidently cursed them all. Yet, maybe he can pull them together for one last job that might ease the fury of the tyrannical mermaid he wronged so long ago. He might have a chance to break the binds for himself and his crew, if he can pull it off. There's just one problem; a rival mermaid called Anwen. As mysterious as she is terrifying - and adamant that Elf can't win - she offers an alternative to break the curse if the crew can help her get home. The crew of the Ossory now finds themselves caught in an odyssey brimming with magic and monsters. Battling against champions of terrible adversaries, mysterious lights from the deep, and kleptomatic selkies who deal in blood, Elf is faced with a choice. Will he risk the future of his world to save his crews' souls, or condemn them all to protect the archipelago from certain calamity?
