The cylindrical metal pillars descending around Wecha were like open floodgates for the rats to swarm out from. And unlike the Demons from Metropolis, these Demon Rats were armed to the teeth (literally).
Hundreds of these monstrous steampunk infused machinery rats were dangerously strong just from the looks of it. From heavy armoured steampunk suits to large cannons on their backs, a majority of the Demon rats were upgraded at least once more for this particular assault to remove the last few bastions of humanity.
Even Silver believed that standard swords and shields would be indefinitely useless against them. However, the rats hadn't yet realised that their enemy was also quite the unconventional bunch of soldiers.
Similar to the Orcs' arsenal, the militia had infused inscription charm weaponry that allowed them to change their swords into rifles. Unfortunately, there was a drawback to the militia's weaponry.
