Moving Into The Church
With that large of an explosion, the rebel commanders were reeling in from the shockwaves. They had no idea what had happened and to make things worse, there was no information nor communication back from their assigned Rebel Mechanoids that had been dispatched outside.
The only thing they could fathom was the kind of explosions that had happened. Did the Empire take notice of this small little backwater village and decided to send heavier artilleries or in a case like this, long range missiles to defeat their rebel Mechanoids?
No matter how they crack their heads, there was no incentive to get this village back. There were no precious resources around the village nor there was anything of value. The church had no relics and the people should be insignificant to the Empire.
