The rat tide relentlessly surged toward the staircase at the church entrance. The long staircase had over thirty steps, and behind them, human soldiers used tables and many carriage remnants to build a position, stubbornly resisting.
Under Teresa's protective ice wall, the Ratmen indeed madly charged at the only passage, completely disregarding casualties.
"Fire! Fire!" Behind the position, dozens of musketeers kept shooting, with waves of Ratmen rushing forward and falling as sieves, while under the command of the Rick Guard, human soldiers united to resist the Ratmen's assault.
Due to only half of the staircase remaining to the church, the Ratmen had to crowd onto the narrow walkway to approach the human stronghold. The Mackensen Musketeers fired at a single spot, and in such circumstances, the power of a volley was astounding. The Skaven Ratmen attacked time and again, always leaving corpses behind without success.
