"No direct news, but there must be results." Surya's ocean-blue eyes were full of confidence in her husband: "We have been here for half a day, the mouse swarm has yet to surge, they cannot have failed to notice us, and the two dinsional lightning cannons that breached the camp have also disappeared."
"The Duke of Montfort cannot send troops to support us." Teresa shook her head, the female sorcerer said softly: "Montfort Duchy has also been attacked by the ratn, two villages were attacked, Duke Fulcard himself is leading the knights to fight against the ratn, their reply said they cannot support us."
"Cunning ratn, they must have dispatched detachnts to distract Fulcard's focus." Veronica's eyes flickered, she first arranged: "So, Lady Surya, this ti I leave it to you."
"Tell what to do, I'm listening." Surya was quite open-minded, knowing her outdoor adventure experience and familiarity with the Skaven ratn were inferior to Veronica. This was not the ti to act impulsively, she decided to listen to the witch's advice, whether to comply would be decided later.
"Lady Surya, you are beautiful, of noble birth, and your equipnt is the most luxurious. You need to be stationed in the hall." Veronica first said: "The refugees see a Marchioness and Great Noble of Brittania, Countess of Laine living and dying with them, their hearts will surely be much calr. First, everyone will believe that Laine will definitely return to aid, he may not save these refugees, but he would never abandon his wife! Lady Surya, you need to give speeches, use slogans to inspire hearts."
"Alright, I understand." Surya nodded.
"Trovik, what you need to do is use ice walls to seal off so corners of the Justice Church, but don't seal off everything, leave the church door open. We want the ratn to attack us directly from the stairs at the church entrance. Besides casting ice walls, you must save magic power, do not cast large spells unless absolutely necessary." Veronica continued instructing.
"Understood." Teresa also nodded.
"Then… go find Mr. Abel, have him lead the paladins to patrol the basent, ensuring no ratn detachnts invade the interior of the church from there. Demon Hunters are most adept and familiar with such tasks, he will surely fulfill it flawlessly."
"Let Imperial Captain Huber use explosives to blow up half of the stairs at the church entrance, rember it's half, not completely. Blowing it all up would only make the ratn look for another route. After blowing up half, have the two Rick Guards lead musketeers, great swordsn, and long spear soldiers to defend at the staircase entrance and the church entrance."
"Finally, Miss Sylvia, find a way to have the servants spread rumors among the refugees, saying that His Majesty Emperor Carl Franz's large reinforcents are already rushing here, the Emperor's army will definitively resolve the ratn's threat, the refugees need such rumors, this will calm them down."
"Understood!"
Following Veronica's instructions, Surya gave an inspiring speech, as the Marchioness of Winford, she naturally knew how to lift spirits. Her beautiful appearance, glittering gear, and flaming sharp sword motivated all survivors' morale.
Rumors of the Emperor's reinforcents being on the way spread among the refugees, indeed stabilizing minds inside the church, soldiers' morale sowhat restored. Under the Rick Guards' command, defenses were orderly arranged, positioning for resistance against the ratn's attack, while awaiting reinforcents' arrival.
Two hours later.
"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~" The burning Hemgart City bell rang out again! Subsequently, countless Skaven ratn's incessant murmuring and restless noises ca from all over the city, from mines, sewers, basents, thousands of ratn appeared once more.
The mouse swarm is here again!!!
