"Norman!"
he
babbled.
"In
God's
name--Fellows--!"
"That
helmet,
Hackett!"
Fellows
flung
at
him.
"My
God,
look
at
those
prisoners--Norman!"
The
countless
thousands
of
green
men
released
from
the
buildings
whose
walls
had
vanished
under
the
shells
of
the
invaders
had
poured
forth
to
make
the
amphibian
city
a
chaos
of
madness.
Oblivious
to
all
else
they
were
throwing
themselves
upon
the
city's
crowding
frog-men
in
a
battle
whose
ferocity
was
beyond
belief,
disregarding
all
else
in
this
supreme
chance
to
wreak
vengeance
on
the
monstrous
beings
who
had
fed
upon
their
blood.
In
the
incredible
insanity
of
that
raging
fury
the
craft
of
the
green
men
hanging
over
the
city
were
all
but
forgotten.
Suddenly
the
city
and
the
mighty
dome
over
it
quivered
violently,
and
then
again.
There
came
from
beneath
a
dull,
vast,
grinding
roar.
"The
great
force-bombs!"
Fellows
screamed.
"They've
set
them
off--the
city's
sinking--out
of
here,
for
the
love
of
God!"
The
boat
whirled
beneath
Sarja's
hands
toward
the
pool
of
the
water-tunnel,
all
their
fleet
rushing
with
them.
The
grinding
roar
was
louder,
terrible;
dome
and
city
were
shaking
violently
now;
but
in
the
insensate
fury
of
their
struggle
the
frog-men
and
their
released
prisoners
were
hardly
aware
of
it.
The
whole
great
dome
seemed
sinking
upon
them
and
the
city
falling
beneath
it
as
Sarja's
craft
ripped
down
into
the
tunnel's
waters,
and
then
out,
at
awful
speed,
as
the
great
tunnel's
walls
swayed
and
sank
around
them!
They
shot
out
into
the
green
depths
from
it
to
hear
a
dull,
colossal
crashing
through
the
waters
from
behind
as
the
great
pedestal
of
rock
on
which
the
city
had
stood,
shattered
by
the
huge
force-bombs,
collapsed.
And
as
their
boats
flashed
up
into
the
open
air
they
saw
that
the
huge
dome
of
the
city
of
the
Ralas
was
gone.
