[Inside the Stone Shrine, Right after Damian sent Sam and Lucian back – Sam's POV]
Sam walked out of the waygate, which was set up in the middle of the shrine city—where small patches of trees had grown over the years, planted by the pigmen. The place was already filled with all the pigmen soldiers who had just been on the wall and had now retreated back here.
Sam saw a line of soldiers going up the stairs to take positions near the empty cannons. All the giant steps of the stone shrine had these laser cannons, and only a few near the top and bottom were being used—the rest were empty. Civilians had already started going up to take position, but now that the soldiers were back, they were ready to do their jobs.
