The distance was about 200 meters. Tachi Bro tried to speed up, but he still couldn't make it.
To be honest, for ordinary ranged weapons, this distance was already considered safe.
That was one of the reasons the Earl had felt comfortable leaving the mine for his son to handle.
If the mine had been too close to his home, he might even have sent a large force to guard it and sealed the place off.
In theory, anything capable of attacking across such a long distance would be a specialized rifle.
Even then, their accuracy was practically nonexistent.
Then there were things like cannons and catapults.
But although Haide'an seemed a bit like a dim-witted son, he wasn't actually stupid.
In fact, he checked on the mine from time to time.
After all, it was his property.
So, in theory, it would have been very difficult to haul things like catapults or even cannons up there.

There was no helping it. Skaven were simply too good at digging, especially since they didn't even treat Slave Rats as Skaven.
This method of digging at the cost of lives was, without a doubt, extremely efficient. They could even outpace human miners.
