After a while, they managed to capture 200 green leaf troops who were Dorox's prisoners.
Astrum and Lilo are tasked with taking care of the soul leeches on the body of this green leaf troop.
Sidius looked at the outcome of this battle with some disappointment. Even though they had many insignias, their combat experience was very weak. They couldn't handle the Tower's attack.
After a while, Arrot and his army returned with bad news. They didn't manage to catch up to Dorox's spaceship.
Sidius realized this would be very troublesome, with Dorox's escape meaning Zax could increase his defenses. But he also can't rush to attack the green city.
He decided to regroup his troops and devise a new strategy.
…
A group of people in black robes were monitoring the battle from within the forest.
"They made it." Say one of them.
"Even though they are strong but this is not enough. Let's get out of here!"
And in an instant, they disappeared.
…
Sidius regrouped and discussed his next strategy.
"We need to devise a new strategy, a fighting force like this won't be able to overcome the towers in the city."
Milosh and the Horn clan troops just looked down in shame, they thought their strength was strong enough but it wasn't enough to overcome the Tower's attack.
Sidius opened the map and thought of a new strategy. Right now only he and Stella were able to quickly approach the Tower. While 5 towers must be overcome. He must change the portion of each group to attack properly.
Right now he was weighing the strength of his army. Currently, there was only a few personnel who excelled in speed to dodge the Tower's fire, namely himself, Stella, Astrum, and Arrot. He hesitated to separate Stella from Astrum.
"Sidius, it seems we have no other choice." Stella also realized this.
"We allocate more troops in the Astrum group and the remaining groups. After we destroy the Tower, we can go to their location to help." Stella suggested an opinion.
"Hm.. looks like there's no other choice," Sidius said in a heavy tone.
Eventually, they reorganized the assault group.
Sidius and Stella will each bring 30 Beastros personnel. Astrum and Arrot will carry 40 personnel each. And the Remaining group will be led by Milosh who brings 40 personnel.
Then after the prisoners of Zax's troops were rescued they didn't rest and immediately rushed to the green city. Sidius realizes that time is not on their side.
He had to quickly set up an attack so Zax wasn't ready.
They were currently at the border of the green city, there was another 100 km to the main city. They moved quickly to the green city.
…
Inside a mansion in the middle of a green city. Dorox is currently reporting the conditions of the battle to Zax.
"Commander, they have already entered the border!"
"Hm…" Zax while tapping his finger on the throne.
"Folux, is the preparations ready?" He asked Folux who was standing to his right.
"Commander, everything is ready," Folux answered while bowing.
"Good, let's welcome them! HA HA HA!!!"
…
Sidius' troops approached the green city, from a distance they could see a city surrounded by high walls and five Towers were surrounding the city. It is called a green city because it is covered with vegetation.
In the middle of the city there is a high hill, and above it is a large building.
"It is a green city mansion. Zax occupies the mansion." Arrot said.
"The main seal is underground, the location of the entrance is right in the mansion." Suddenly Thea said.
"It will be very dangerous. Astrum, make sure you put safety first." Stella gave advice.
Astrum nodded.
"We will split up, each group will be tasked with attacking the Tower."
"Clan Master Milosh, you don't have to destroy the Tower. Your group is sufficient to defend against the Tower attack, we will head to your location when we have destroyed our target Tower."
"The other armies will advance after the Towers are destroyed. Make sure not to kill! Capture them all alive."
Sidius gave instructions.
The entire army had a serious face towards this attack this time. Then they scattered around the green city. Once they got in position, they waited for Sidius' signal to attack.
After a while a golden light flew into the sky, it was a sign from Sidius.
The entire army swiftly moved out of the forest and attacked every Tower.
Zax and his squad saw a golden glow in the sky also realizing that they were about to be attacked. He looked at the golden light with a sinister smile.
Sidius and Stella moved swiftly towards the Tower, the Troops behind him tasked with dealing with the enemy attacks that came out of the city walls.
But as they got closer, they noticed something strange. None of Zax's prisoners came out of the city walls, only the Tower was busy shooting anything that came close.
In another location, Astrum asks Thea to stay behind with her parents. He moved swiftly towards the Tower and dodged every shot.
Milosh's group moved in a zig-zag manner to outwit the Tower's fire, they couldn't approach the Tower because the Tower's firing speed was faster than theirs.
Sidius made it to the front of the Tower and dealt several blows.
BANG! BANG! BANG!"
The Tower's shield field was stronger than the previous Tower. Even after a few hits, the shield field was still active. He mustered his star power to destroy the Tower's shield field while moving to dodge the Tower's fire.
After a few hits, the Tower's shield field was showing signs of getting weaker. But as the shield field was getting weaker something strange happened.
The tower stopped firing, the shield field opened and suddenly the tower changed shape. One of the walls of the Tower was exposed.
Seeing that the shield was exposed, Sidius mustered his strength to attack the Tower. But before his attack hit the Tower he felt the power weaken, he realized that there was something strange about this Tower. He wanted to immediately withdraw from this Tower but his strength was gone.
From inside the Tower revealed a black pearl. The pearl took away Sidius' power.
Sidius stared in wonder, how did the black pearl get in this Tower?
when the Tower stopped firing, Sidius' troops moved toward the Tower.
Sidius realized that this was a trap, he shouted to his troops to retreat.
"GO BACK!!!"
But before his troops could react, several large spaceships were hovering above them. The spaceship shot out a web of energy that trapped all of them that attacked the Tower.
From the rear, the troops waiting to attack saw this scene in shock. They saw his comrades trapped by these webs.
They rushed to attack, they wanted to help their trapped comrades. But when they had only advanced a few meters, from behind came another attack.
..
In another location, Astrum was also surprised to see that there was a black pearl inside the Tower. Realizing that the pearl could absorb star power, he instantly deactivated his star power. He shouted at his troops not to use star power.
"DON'T USE STAR POWER!!"
Without star power, they can only fight with their physical strength.
But the three star beasts couldn't move, their strength disappeared with the black pearl's presence.
The spaceship appeared and shot a net, they were unable to move. The three Star Beasts were trapped by the net.
Lilo who was caught by the energy net also couldn't move, she tried to shrink her body but the net followed her size.
Everyone was trapped in the net. The non-Insignias troops in the forest were also ambushed.
All of these attacks were failures!
Their troops were all caught while attacking the green city.
Not long after, the city gates opened and many people came out of the city. These guys are Zax's squad, they carry stick weapons with stun guns on the ends.
The trapped troops were electrocuted by Zax's troops.
"ARRRGHH!!!"
Without the star power, the stun had an extremely extraordinary effect. The trapped Green Leaf Troops couldn't stand the sun, they immediately fainted. The trapped Beastros army could still endure the pain of the taser spear.
They were all bound by the energy net and brought into the city. They were all gathered together at the green city square. Sidius and Stella looked so weak, their colors were getting paler.
There was a large figure approaching them, it was Zax followed by his 5 aides. Zax looked at the captured Beastros army with a sinister smile.
Zax walked over to the bound Sidius and Stella.
"You!" Sidius said in a deep voice.
"HA HAHA!! I never imagined that I would catch you guys!"
"Now I have the power to fight you guys!"
He took something from his aide, Astrum saw this and recognized it was a black pearl.
Zax held the black pearl in his hand and dealt a heavy blow to Sidius.
"BUGH!!!!"
That punch shouldn't be of any use to the starian race, but when Zax used the black pearl; Sidius became weak even weaker than the Beastros.
