The first two trenches were a mess of muscular soldiers, furred figures, and bullets. The pack's frontline had broken through the firing barrage, and the chaotic scene forced the turrets to target different areas.
The Scalqa fought valiantly, emboldened by their faith in their godlike leader. The past months of battles had also weeded out the frailest soldiers, only leaving war-hardened aliens behind, so the monsters suffered heavy losses even after breaching the army's defenses.
The monsters' size provided no advantage against the Scalqa. The latter were actually taller and bigger, and their physique was often enough to deal with the beasts. Those creatures' fangs, claws, and ferocity were concerning, but the aliens had learned to deal with them. Mainly, they had stopped fearing them.
