With their battle cry, the soldiers of Saint Monster World started raining down their arrows, those that doesn't have any bow picks up stones and anything that was lying around them and threw them towards the insects.
Even if this action is quite useless against such powerful enemies, they need to do something to vent their emotions, it didn't take long for the insects to finally advanced.
Russel let's out a loud trumpet and stomps on the ground, JM knew that it was his turn, he use his elemental affinity towards earth and made them into something sharp, the insects that were forced to crash by Russel's pressure landed on the sharp spikes.
But they underestimated how tough the bodies of these insects are, they might be vulnerable to elemental attacks but this is only because of the fact that most beings in this world doesn't use any elemental attacks.
