An enemy is an enemy, whether he is carrying a pickaxe or a sword. Some would say that those who kill defenceless men have little honor, while it does not pose any problem to hunt poor and weak herbivores ... In the same way, digging hurts Atys. So yes, Atys is a dangerous, violent and painful world. A world at war. And the war is dirty. Next time, I think this digger should be accompanied by bodyguards. Courage to him.
