of all the attacking groups, the Earthborn group was the slowest out of them all. However, they had reason to be as they were being cautious, trying to lose as few numbers as possible and doing their best to cooperate with the vampires.
They had done well taking back the planets that initially belonged to the Earthborn group and were now finally heading into the Oregon[Dalki] part of the solar system. Joseph[Sam] had instructed them to continue ahead, and Longblade, who was leading one of the groups, understood somewhat why.
This was their only chance to win this war. Based on the reports of the new Gen Oregon[Dalki] so far, the new enemy seemed quite powerful, and not just by a small difference. From the information gathered, it looked like the Oregon[Dalki] had figured out how to create a new type of Oregon[Dalki], better than the current types.
On top of that, they already knew the Oregon[Dalki] could get stronger by evolving, and time was not on their side. If they left the Oregon[Dalki] alone, the latter would create more new Gen Oregon[Dalki], giving them a chance to grow more powerful.
Waiting was not an option. If they stopped their attack, it would allow the Oregon[Dalki] to regroup. In this case, the Oregon[Dalki] would just wait to create more new Gen and evolve their current forces. Although the human force was large, already having lost so many, it wasn't like their own forces could suddenly increase in strength or number.
It was a formidable force they had to face, and Longblade and his group were approaching one of the Oregon[Dalki] planets on which they were expecting to come across the new Gen Oregon[Dalki]. Along with Longblade was the thirteenth leader Jeremy[Lee], and the second leader Katori.
The string skill[ability] from the thirteenth vampires had helped them considerably in holding the strong Oregon[Dalki] in place, and they had even saved many human lives when using the former as puppets during the war.
At the same time, the second family with the reversing skill[ability] meant that they could enjoy the effects of healing that were better than normal healing. It made the Earthborn group under Longblade's command just respect the two families even more, and he was hoping he could utilise all of their powers in this fight as well.
At the same time, the other Earthborn group was made up mostly of vampires and generals, and they were able to use their brute strength to defeat the Oregon[Dalki]. Blake[Jin], Ken Kilton, and Dillan Scutter, three vampire leaders who had abilities suited for taking on the Oregon[Dalki], really showed off their powers in the fights so far.
On top of that, since most of them in the group were vampires, the Oregon[Dalki]'s green blood gave an extra boost while fighting.
Soon, both of these Earthborn groups would be landing on the Oregon[Dalki] planet, ready to go into battle.
An hour later.
It had only been an hour since Longblade and his vast army of a hundred thousand had landed on the planet, and they were now greatly struggling against the new Oregon[Dalki]. The planet they were fighting had quite large grass fields and large meadows.
This meant there weren't many strategic locations for them to use in fighting. Tactics were useless, and since they were on the attack, they had to go towards the fortress on the planet in an attempt to take it out. Currently, the new Gen Oregon[Dalki] had already massacred a quarter of their forces.
'This is difficult..' Longblade said while assessing the situation. 'The Oregon[Dalki] aren't fighting us head-on. Did they get reports from the other fortresses which our forces have defeated?'
Unlike the previous battles that had been an all-out war, the Oregon[Dalki] here were going on the defence and holding up in the fortress. The humans practically had to raid the place. Some of the vampires from the thirteenth family successfully scaled the wall with their abilities and brought others up with them.
But just like the reports stated, the Oregon[Dalki] forces were far stronger than other forces they came across. They consisted of three spikes and four spikes, and even though they weren't even large in number, taking them down seemed impossible.
'There's also that humanoid-looking one...with the abnormally long tongue. I didn't even know anyone could use a tongue like that.' Just as Longblade thought of this, he saw the humanoid Oregon[Dalki] coiling its tongue around someone's body, and like a frog, the Oregon[Dalki] pulled him towards its mouth, killing it by crushing it to pieces.
"We have no choice, " Jeremy[Lee] stated, who was also watching things go on. "We have tried to find ways to infiltrate the fortress, but none are working. We will just have to create a force of our strongest and head in together to create a gap so the rest can join in as well."
Longblade wasn't quick to agree with Jeremy[Lee]'s plan. They had already lost many lives, and he didn't want to view his people as just a number. From the reports so far, even if they were to create a potent force, the enemy can still take them out.
Before making any decision, Longblade decided to call the other Earthborn group to see how they were faring. On the other side, Blake[Jin], who was leading this force, answered, and the situation he reported was similar to how things were going here.
The Oregon[Dalki] were staying in their fortress, and the group had yet to figure out a way to enter the fortress. And they had also just attempted what Jeremy[Lee] had suggested with the vampire leaders, but it turned out to be an unsuccessful attempt.
In fact, one of the vampire leaders had even lost his life. The eleventh family leader Dillan Scutter. This caused them to retreat. In the retreat itself, the Oregon[Dalki] were able to take out half of their forces, and now they were at a loss of what to do.
"I understand how you feel, but we won't be getting reinforcements, " Longblade stated. "We have no choice but to fight to the best of our skill[ability] and hope that our side comes out as the winner."
A few moments after he said that, Longblade had received a message from someone he didn't expect. It looked like the help they needed might arrive.
He called for a temporary retreat and then told the vampires to gather for the meeting.
"We plan to attack the fortress head-on, and for that, we will require your power, " Longblade said. "I hate to admit it, but we can't do this without you. I, as the leader of this group, ask you this favour, and if you can get us inside, the rest of us will try our best to get rid of the Oregon[Dalki]."
The vampires looked at each other in confusion. So far, attack forces had been quite mixed, but now Longblade was asking the vampires to lead the charge. Where they basically asking the vampires to be their human shield.
"Sacrifice your own people, and we will get rid of the Oregon[Dalki]." One of them shouted.
The others soon agreed, and Jeremy[Lee] and Katori were ready to silence them, but Longblade shook his head, knowing that this was the expected reaction.
"There is a reason why I am asking for your help." Longblade smiled and looked up, "And that's because of them."
A ship was seen approaching the area that they had made their temporary base for now, which was quite far enough to be away from the sight range of the fortress. Besides, the Oregon[Dalki] weren't chasing after them, so there wasn't much trouble.
When the ship landed, two figures walked out, and with them, they pushed along a large crate that was the size of a car; as for who these two people were, they were Rachael[Linda] and Arian[Fex].
At the same time, landing on the other Oregon[Dalki] beast planet, supporting Blake[Jin] and the others, was another pair doing the same thing, and this pair was Joseph[Sam]antha and Jola[Mona].
"This here will help you win the fight. Tell all the vampires to take a drink this... and we will win this war!" Joseph[Sam]antha instructed.
Opening up the containers, the vampires could all smell it immediately. It was Oregon[Dalki] blood, but not just any Oregon[Dalki] blood; rather, it was blood from a five spike Oregon[Dalki].
One Horn's death would be the turning point in the battle. Drake[Oscar]'s and Sach's death wouldn't be in vain.
