"And
there's
a
chance
we
can
destroy
that
whole
Rala
city
with
their
help.
It's
built
on
a
giant
pedestal
of
rock
rising
from
the
sea's
floor,
as
you
saw,
and
I've
had
some
of
the
green
men
make
huge
force-shells
or
force-bombs
that
ought
to
be
powerful
enough
to
split
that
pedestal
beneath
the
city.
If
we
can
get
a
chance
to
place
those
bombs
it
may
smash
the
frog-men
forever
on
this
world.
But
one
thing
is
sure:
we're
going
to
get
Hackett
out
if
he
still
lives!"
"Then
you're,
going
to
attack
the
Rala
city
now?"
Norman
cried.
Fellows
nodded
grimly.
"While
you
have
slept
all
the
forces
of
the
green
men
on
this
world
have
been
gathering.
Your
coming
has
only
precipitated
our
plans,
Norman--the
whole
soul
of
the
green
races
has
been
set
upon
this
attack
for
weeks!"
Norman,
half
bewildered
at
the
swiftness
with
which
events
rushed
upon
him,
found
himself
striding
with
Fellows
in
great
steps
out
through
the
building
into
the
great
square.
It
was
shadowed
now
by
mass
on
mass
of
flying-boats,
crowded
with
green
men,
that
hung
over
it
and
over
the
streets.
One
boat,
Sarja
at
its
controls,
waited
on
the
ground
and
as
they
entered
and
buckled
themselves
into
the
seats
the
craft
drove
up
to
hang
with
the
others.
A
shattering
cheer
greeted
them.
Norman
saw
that
in
the
silvery
light
of
Earth's
great
crescent
there
stretched
over
the
city
and
surrounding
jungle
now
a
veritable
plain
of
flying-boats.
On
each
were
green
men
and
each
bristled
with
force-guns,
and
had
as
many
great
goggled
helmets
fastened
to
it
as
it
had
occupants.
He
glimpsed
larger
boats
loaded
with
huge
metal
cylinders--the
force-bombs
Fellows
had
mentioned.
