"The Troxxt attacked in three cylindrical black ships simultaneously: one in the Southern Hemisphere, and two in the Northern. Great gouts of green flame roared out of their tiny craft, and everything touched by this imploded into a translucent, glass-like sand. No Dendi was hurt by these, however, and from each of the now-writhing gun mounts there bubbled forth a series of scarlet clouds which pursued the Troxxt hungrily, until forced by a dwindling velocity to fall back upon Earth."

Tenn, who wrote science fiction at a time when few writers in the genre displayed a sense of humor. He helped create modern Science Fiction in the 1940s and '50s, when the genre's dominant form was the short story, published in monthly magazines known as pulps, for the poor quality of their paper.

Merriam-Webster defines "Liberate" as:
"to free (someone or something) from being controlled by another person, group, etc.
William Tenn wrote this during and about the Korean War(1950-1953) as he was against the United States intervention on the war. He later said: "In writing the story, all I wanted to do was point out what a really awful thing it was to be a Korean in such situation. But recently I have come to the conclusion that if I had been a Korean, North or South under those same circumstances, I would very much have welcomed the U.S intervention."

Various parts on Earth:
The story is told from the point of view of the future descendants of the humans, telling the story of their human ancestors and how they were “liberated” to form what is Earth in the present. The first liberation was by an alien race called the Dendi, that told the inhabitants on Earth they where to assist them in their war against an alien race called the Troxxt. Then the Troxxt invaded Earth causing great destruction but becoming Earth new liberators as they told humans how they where lied by their previous occupiers. This cycle of liberation and re-liberation continues until the Earth is left a shell of its former self. In end most of the human race has been killed and the planet is destroyed, as they now have live with the negative effects caused on Earth by the war between the two alien races( the air is contaminated, water shortage, famine).
When the Troxxt first invaded Earth, they killed a lot of humans attacking the Dendi and the war between this two alien races continue on from that.
The aliens leave planet Earth as they discovered it’s not safe to continue their war and so move the war to another place (Aldebaran). There is no real resolution since the war never stops and the Earth and humankind have to live with the negative aftereffects war for many generations to come.
