Human Mercenaries Turn The Tide of War In Hours | HFY | Sci Fi Short Story |

An embattled alien army watches in shock as three mysterious human warriors single-handedly defeat an unstoppable invasion force besieging their city - fighting with preternatural speed, skill and stamina that turns the tide of war in hours.

How I was hoping the mercenaries had bolters and chainswords...

Suffer not the heretic, the witch and the xenos to live!!!

[@lordvader4089]

Helping Xenos? You heretic!!

[@SageofStars]

So this is what Tagon's Toughs have been up to since the end of Schlock Mercenary. Good to know they're still finding work.

The reason why no other intelligence in the galaxy ever has or ever will contact Earth is because they already know that Mankind is the Apex Predator of the galaxy. Don't pass here, because there be Dragons! :> R!

[@MrBlazinerday]

Dont go to earth! Humans are crazy. They even kill each other for any petty reason. And if you ever have to land there stay away from a place called florida!!!

This is how you unite a species. We gotta get out of our own way.

[@HFYStories]

Love the story . Thank for upload

[@denisemcdougal6445]

Cool story

[@Orcalein7367]

Makes you feel good to be homo sapiens ... seems to be the ongoing theme with popular science fiction stories ...

[@Thurgosh_OG]

We need these aliens to show up soon, so we can take our warring nature away from Earth and other humans.

[@spaceengineeringempire4086]

That’s the point to show what humanity can do. To show the hood and the bad. The inspiration and the warning.

[@Shinobubu]

in the future the term "merc'd" will become commonly used. Also Zero Suit Samus Vibes XD

[@TowGunner]

Fantastic story. Only problem is the skipping AI narration.

[@seannugent8141]

Yeah - the narration is poor

[@TimmyMoza]

Was my comment as well… very annoying to an otherwise good story.

I thought she was going to say, "We are Marines."

[@andyhill157]

I was hoping she was going to say "We're the girl scouts...would you like to buy some cookies?"

@@andyhill157 good thing it wasn't guys in that case. for the invaders

[@jimmywrangles]

That was enjoyable.

Good to know the banking system is still in tact in this future alternate reality where they use wire transfers lol

Sounds like an AI is reading this and not properly pronouncing stuff nor stressing the correct parts of the sentences. Run on sentences, reading through stuff without pausing at commas and such.... Annoying, at best. The storyline is fun, though.

[@dogsarebest7107]

Why would you narrate a story posted on /hfy, and not put the original link in the description or comment? That's wrong. Do not do that. It's fine to narrate other people's stories with permission. It is NOT fine to narrate a story and not give a single word to the author who wrote it. It's straight up stealing.

[@ALLSciFi88]

All of my stories are original.

Oopsie. I think the OP must have fallen off his high horse by now 😂

@@ALLSciFi88 Then please provide the source, so the allegations from dog are satisfied, and we can read it at our leisure

[@dogsarebest7107]

@@andmos1001 There is a damn epidemic of "narrator" channels, more than half are text-to-speech bots, stealing stories from Reddit, royalroad, wattpad, etc. They throw ads on them, give no links to the original story, don't ask for permission to narrate, etc. And if the channel gets taken down they have other channels ready to go. It's a goddamn shame that the authors who give their passion-works away freely, get taken advantage of in such a manner.
