If the plan is going WAY better than expected, you're walking into an ambush

[@snidecommenter7117]

The fake retreat is as old as time itself.

[@achimdemus-holzhaeuser1233]

Having the Humans Guard the LZ was the smartest decission in the whole story. How did you know you had to rescue us - We saw you fighting How did you find us - Your parade style march left a trail even deaf and blind person could follow.

[@chadrushing4685]

A marine general that retreated was famously asked why his troops fled. His reply was that "they didn't retreat, they attacked in the direction of the thickest enemy formation and it turned out to be to his rear."

[@mycroft16]

If an opposing force is really small and fires a few shots before running... that's bait. How the hell did that dude get promoted to General if he can't recognize one of the oldest and simplest feints in history?

[@sedeen5322]

You have to understand that they are so advance and has already forgatten what war is really like and as the story suggest they where at peace for decades and decades, or you could also say that the way they fought is different before this war and is accostumed to this scenario or lastly just plot device to make us look good I mean where the only example of species civilization as far as we know lmao

[@alessiodecarolis]

It wasn't uncommon also in our history, expecially if the commanding officer is overconfident (& a bit idiotic), think only about Fetterman's massacre shortly after the end of ACW. Feigned retreat is a trick largely employed in human history, such as at Hasting or by the mongols.

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

@@sedeen5322 mhee , even as a civilian that only known war as rts or fps distraction of games still know better so i say its lees about their technological assets and more that humans joined them just as they where on the verge of starting to stagnate as societies and much like the late abrahamic imperial rome ...lose themselfs in their own arrogance

[@ArmandoEnfectana-bp6jo]

​@@Amoth_oth_ras_shash, RTS games are better when comes to strategy.

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

@@ArmandoEnfectana-bp6jo love good ones, shame the industry just like with rpgs keeps trying to kill them because the fat slugs for publishers wants people to just do the wow+microtransation gambling crap :/

11:56 luckily I had just finished my drink 😂😂😂

[@firefighter_raven]

it was a last-minute inspiration lol

The universe will tell us, later, if we've any right to exist in it. - Robert Heinlein

[@cycleboy8028]

As species get more advanced and cultured, they lose the real feel for war. It is primal. You must tap that to survive a battlefield.

[@LeaNieminen]

Mmm sounds cheesy

[@ainnunyabidniz]

I like these stories better when the AI sounds like AI, like this story 😁

[@anon_newusername]

“Naram Sin” bro stole his character name from an ancient Sumerian conqueror

[@firefighter_raven]

total coincidence. I use fantasy name generator for names and I like Sumerian ones for aliens. Didn't realize until someone pointed it out on Reddit.

[@Ragnarra]

Don’t feel too bad I do the same thing but I tend to lean towards norse or Irish sounding names. Depending on the vibe I am going for.

[@peterhorvath3142]

200 galactic years? That's 45 billion Earth years 😂

[@christophersnedeker]

The universe has only existed for 13 billion years.

[@armonfredericks7414]

Take Me to Your Leader. 😂😂😂😂

[@chriskelso723]

It took me a moment to get that joke.

[@armonfredericks7414]

@@chriskelso723 I just got down watching the twilight zone when I listened to this story.

[@morrisanderson818]

Surprised the human's didn't show the middle finger,

[@drmachinewerke1]

Needs a part 2

[@cheatersvault78]

Ok sir when author post on hfy community I upload this part author post last night 🥰🥰

[@3RAN7ON]

The end of that story with the conversation with the general is super clunky, like what? 😂

[@undead9999]

That "take me to your leader" 😂😂😂

[@jeffjames4064]

If you want to win a war , you have to be cunning , intelligent and savage.

[@chialeux514]

"Messages ? We didn't get no stinkin messages !"

[@theredrighteye4380]

50k Sounds kinda low for an galactic war. Like even 10 Million sound low. So 50 Million is a good number.

[@Davidofthelost]

Hmmm. Probably closer to 100 million for fleets and colonies on both sides.

[@GUMMRUCHK]

Seems like a odd spot to end it.

[@user-fs5fs2zw2h]

Plans break down at the first engagement.

[@roughneckmp]

“Take me to your leader.” 😆😆😆

[@memesextreme4937]

Low tech so? We’ve made simple weapons so deadly they’re considered a warcrime, specifically the bat-bomb

[@HrLBolle]

5:40 Primitive yes but it works

[@AprilDuchess]

LOL I love it!

[@maryrose2676]

1galactic year is 230000000 earth years.

[@finaoyangorin5029]

😅p pokemon wo wkwi 😂❤😂 4:41

[@ronsindric4241]

Overall, I like these stories. Many of the tales speak of alien disdain for archaic human weapons. How about a tail of aliens landing and militarily confronting THE CONTINENTAL ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES in 1778. The aliens capture and put in stasis one US soldier complete with his pack, clothing, and weapons. Once the remaining US soldiers become aware and fight back, the "advanced" alien forces are surprised, then leave Earth in terror and chaos. Story ratchets ahead 1000 years when the stasis US soldier in a museum is desperately woken to become a Force for Liberty and Justise in a Galactic scaled military confrontation between Good and Evil.

[@UnyieldingSpiritHFY]

hello

[@cheatersvault78]

yes sir

[@OMCPoker]

poor pronunciation destroys this story

[@terrieterblans7027]

More AI read crap!

[@Davidofthelost]

You know we had text to speech long before AI right?

[@Manepitaj]

AI = automatic dislike
