"Like sitting ducks!" someone on the wall screamed in elation. "Look at 'em come! Crazy! Chatterin' like monkeys!"
The natives were nearer, shaking their noise makers, screaming.
Someone on the wall smiled and fired and one of the natives stumbled and fell.
"Like sitting ducks!" he screamed.
The other god-men began swiveling their most powerful weapons, focusing the natives in their sights.
And still the natives came, crying that the god-men take heart.
And then the ground trembled!
The forest behind the natives began to crackle; trees came apart in all directions flying like matchwood.
A giant being trampled aside all obstructions with invincible power.
Then the metal monster was clear of the forest. It hovered carefully over, around, between the natives.
