Alien warrior hordes invading a world that's been fighting against piddly guerilla tactics for as long as anyone can remember, which isn't much before the entire world was devastated by the dark devil Onimar Syn...
Koltor Zal is using his ring like a sledgehammer, pouring as much power as he can into it to catapult huge swaths of Gordanians into the nearby seas, which cover most of the planet.
The fact that he's genuinely afraid, though, is hampering his effectiveness.
"Hol! They're EVERYWHERE! How could this happen? How did I not see this coming? HOW DID I MISS THIS?!"
Hol's brought out the heavy artillery when he can. It's been a long time since he's had the need to use munitions like this, but this is one time he'll condone creating flashzones.
"ZAL! Use your ring! We need INFORMATION, not self-pity!"
The katar blade is through the general's throat just before he can get the shot off. There is no time or place for this.
The head is severed clean, and in one quick swipe of his arm, the helmeted head is hurled with great velocity at a Gordanian, and the metal crests of the hawk helmet bore into the reptilian's face and knock him down.
The dead general's and gun are thrown to the Green Lantern.
"To keep fighting when your ring runs out of power.
No... no. Every part of this is overwhelming.

It's just a slaughter.

Every swoop down to grab someone out from under the massive jackboots is another clang of a club against his helmet.
Every person he rescues drives home the fact that there is nowhere safe to put them. The most he can do is delay their deaths.
So close to his dream, and plunged into a horrifying nightmare.
It doesn't help that he has to keep talking Zal down, either.

This time, a squadron of Citadelians go soaring through the skies.

"Not quite so high and mighty now, are you, meat? Your ring doesn't make you any better than the soldiers dying in record numbers for Thanagar!"

Zal doesn't have an answer for anything... and he's been unable to get a signal out to the Corps...
He doesn't have Kilowog to bail him out now...

"Are you SERIOUSLY taking the time to mock one of your most powerful allies in the face of extinction?! FIGHT, you unimaginable twerl!"
Another scattershot into a Gordanian flank.

In horror at everything. But he catches the weaponry and stores it for the bitter end.
"We're going to die here, aren't we, Hol?"

"For Kalmoran."
