Kesolla pointed out the hatch. Far out at sea, a plume of water splashed into the air. “You’ve seen what a ball can do to an enemy ship.”
Tenorran nodded. They’d been at peace with Marvanna the whole time he’d served in the Armada, but occasionally a Marvannan ship would try to sneak past the blockade and there would be a skirmish. The weapon could blow gaping holes in a ship’s side.
“Word is the Tevenarans have no navy to speak of, nor land troops either.” Kesolla said. “I expect the fight to be disappointingly short. They can’t have seen anything like the Secret before. I’ll be surprised if we get five shots off before they panic and surrender.”
The other officers agreed with a mixture of grumbling and laughter. They set to work cleaning the weapon to prepare it for its next use.
Tenorran watched what they were doing and listened to Kesolla’s explanations, but his mind was far away. He pictured a city full of unsuspecting civilians rushing from their homes as fire and destruction rained from the sky.
He hoped the Tevenarans would be intelligent enough to surrender before too much damage was done.
