Within the collapsed ruins of Hemgart, Laine hides inside a residence, carefully observing the situation nearby.
The streets are filled with Ratmen, forming tight formations as they patrol the street.
It's not that Laine fears these Ratmen, for in his eyes, the visible Ratmen are not the real threat; the true threat is the unseen presence.
The house has been breached from the side, and the people inside have disappeared. The Ratmen have scavenged everything usable from the house, leaving a mess behind.
"These Skaven Ratmen have come to Hemgart, but I don't know what they want to do. If they're here to steal grain, then the Avey Territory or the farms beneath Hemgart would be easier targets. If it's to mine dimensional stone, Hemgart doesn't have any such stone!" Laine murmurs to himself, holding his Warhammer and leaning against the wall.
He decides to observe the situation for a while longer, thinking that the Ratmen's Warlord should be nearby.
