A minute pa.s.sed before bodyguard Gustel caught up to them. Even if he wasn"t a Tier 1 warrior yet his defence was certainly equal to one. The enemies were certainly strong but they had a bit of a problem.

Their team composition was terrible!

It was a set rule that a group had to have quite a few more warriors compared to mages. Mages could easily be overrun on their own, usually, their physique was a bit weaker so if they weren"t defended properly they would die quickly in battle.

It was often said that the swordsmen were the sword of an army, the spearmen were the shield and the mages were the bazookas.

They were extremely strong but also very expensive to get.

In order to cultivate mages, you needed magic books, resources and just gold in general.

Seeing the 2 mages before him Jay got a bit greedy. If he managed to just incapacitate these mages instead of killing them he might be able to gain 2 mages that were Tier 1.

The big problem with mages was that truly strong spells needed about a minute to build up, even if you could always send off a spell earlier it would be weaker.

Bodyguard Gustel shouldn"t have a problem keeping the Tier 1 swordsman at bay for a bit and then Jay and General Green could knock the magicians out.

This certainly would"ve been his plan if it wasn"t for the 10 other warriors.

Each of these was strong, similar to his own elite soldiers. These 10 would certainly beat General Green in a battle and might be able to stall them both for long enough so that the mages could prepare spells. After this, it wouldn"t take much for the battle to get extended until the reinforcements of both sides arrived.

Looking at the enemy reinforcements on the horizon, Jay realized there was no way he could win once they arrived, even with the 30 soldiers he had that should arrive by then.

"Are you the lord of your people?"

Jay asked this question after some hesitation, the enemies were probably troubled as well as they also knew they were at a disadvantage right now, even if their forces might be able to stall them, it was uncertain.

"We are."

The 2 tall, fair ladies spoke in unison after looking at each other for a second. The lady on the left was wearing a silver robe while the woman on the right wore a red robe.

After another second the woman in red spoke.

"We split the ruins in half. You may have the half on your side while we get the one on our side. We will block off the doorway between the two halves."

Jay laughed impolitely as if mocking them.

"And I am guessing you get the room that has been unexplored so far, General Green, bodyguard Gustel, let"s take them out shall we."

He said this just loud enough so that the twins could hear him. He knew they weren"t stupid, they would surely try to stall for time if they found an opportunity. Just as Jay got ready to announce the attack they once again spoke, nervously, playing right into Jay"s hands.

"Alright! You get to explore it first, we will send people ourselves in 24 hours until then it"s all yours."

Jay smiled slyly as he quickly retreated back into the ruins, he was not going to just let these people be, but since they didn"t seem to be very smart, and seemed quite scared of death, Jay didn"t think of them as too great a threat.

He would just have to put sufficient defences on their side until he was ready to attack them.

After concluding this business the trio met up with their troops again before descending once more.

Jay believed their words, they seemed genuinely nervous and even a little scared when dealing with him, he was confident they would hold up their end of the deal, at least for now. Once they realized the area they connected to was actually a forest and not a desert, this would surely change.

But well, since they couldn"t see the outside from the places they had been in, there was no threat of that.

Even though Jay was somewhat puzzled himself, wondering how this ruin had connected regions that should be far apart, he figured there might be some clarification inside of the unchecked room.

Now, Jay was going to take a bit of a savage precaution. He had noticed on the other side that the Tier 1 male was the first to enter the door, if this was always the case, he had a little something that would cripple them in case they tried to follow them.

A while back they had killed a bunch of zombies, this had gotten him a lot of zombie blood, something that would cause someone to get a high fever if they touched it.

Obviously he had a few vials with zombie blood inside of his inters.p.a.cial ring.

He found a rock on the ground that sort of formed a cup shape, he carefully transferred some zombie blood in there. The thing that made this possible was that the door which leads to the desert tunnel opened towards the side of the main ruins. Thus, Jay opened it a sliver and put the stone holding the zombie blood on top of the door.

This was very similar to a prank that was popular on earth, where the same was done with a bucket of water, the only difference was that now, it was done with some blood that would cause someone to fall gravely ill.

After taking this precaution, Jay found his way to the door that was yet to be opened.

Jay eagerly opened the door, yet in the next room over he was greeted with yet another group of people who were just busy looting the room.
