This is good but I think I speak for everybody when I say that we’d like to see how the Aliens would do against a pack of Invective Hurlers. Once they start hurling invectives, watch out!!
That isn't what would happen in that scenario. After the gunslinger took out the first few the regular civilians would open fire from every angle eliminating the threat completely. But why didn't their armor stop regular bullets? There wouldn't be a retreat and regroup. The landing force would be eliminated in act 1. In act 2 the humans would analyze and reverse engineer a fleet from the landing craft. In act 3 the humans would would negotiate* with the rest of the invaders. *Similar to the negotiations in "Fifth Element". Or more realistically the scenario wouldn't happen at all from an interstellar capable civilization against Earth. They would probably just glass the surface from orbit or do something like Starfleet General Order 24. Realistically it would be easier to redirect a NEO PHA to become a HA than to land enough resources to slaughter all the creatures that might need slaughtering and far safer too as this story points out.
The writing style of this story is oddly overdone. Too many adjectives in the wrong place. It gets repetitive in a way that puts you to sleep. Write stories that keep moving, use words to propel the story forward, not stagnate in flowery drivel. I made it just over seven minutes before it before unbearably mundane.
