There was no sound coming from outside the city even when the surroundings were engulfed in domes of plasma beams, as countless skaven were exterminated in mere moments.
After the first volley of fire, another followed right behind, and then another, with the cycle continuing for seven straight rounds until the canons reached their limits and entered a cooldown period.
As the thousands of Skaven were losing their lives, turning to dust under the heavy fire, Legion Commander Thane's voice rang through the city, reaching every individual present inside the city.
"Citizens of Xarentol, I cannot promise that all of you will survive, but I can promise you that none of us will if we don't give it our all and fight to the last breath," Legion Commander Thane said, and after a moment of silence, he continued.
I want to start by apologizing for my absence over the past three weeks, but I had no other choice.
As I mentioned before my long break, I was in a financial bind, an urgent one that even forced me to apply for a loan. Unfortunately, the loan did not come through for reasons beyond my control.
However, I was able to secure a project from my old job, and the timing and pay could not have been better, so the last few weeks were spent completing it, and thanks to the God given help, I was able to secure more than half of the funds I needed, which greatly improved my financial situation.
To everyone who prayed for my well-being, thank you, and I apologize for being away for so long.
