"Damn it?! What was that noise?"
The sudden roar made many faces change.
Such a huge disturbance had suddenly erupted within the city. There was no need to think about it to know it was bad news.
"Templar Knights, Templar Order, send someone out to see what happened! Damn it, the War God still hasn't responded to us. If he had, and we'd used the Inquisition sooner, this would all be over by now! It never would have come to this! Damn it!"

"Heh, when have we ever had a way out? We can't even afford food if this keeps up! Kill those damned priests!"
Shouts occasionally rang out
