He hadn't expected to meet another group here already, leave alone one that had multiple Tier 1 experts.

These must be the troops of one of the top Lords in the other region.

This was a bit of a problem. He still had the Iceborne to worry about, soon he would even have to move a bunch of his troops to Icy City in order to fend off their next attack. He even got a Personal event to take out as many as he could in the next 2 weeks.

Yet now he had encountered another group of enemies with an equal amount of experts he had himself. He knew that peace was very unlikely. The other exit of the ruin was probably close to their capital, making them a serious threat to each other.

If possible, Jay wanted to take care of them right now. He had the strength of about 2 Tier 1 experts while General Green had an extreme loyalty towards him. The 30 troops they had with them were also very strong, they would be able to take out 1 or 2 experts as well.

Of course they probably also had a huge army similar to his own, but for now, he had to get information about them. Had they blocked off the other exit? How many were there? What was their strength like?

Each of these questions needed an answer. He was hoping he could take control of the ruins itself. It was probable that the enemies also had a big stairway to traverse in order to enter or exit. If they could locate this they might find a way to stop them from coming.

This time around they didn't have any problems with the rats, they seemed to have been thoroughly exterminated. The room was full of signs a huge battle had occurred, the blood of both rats and humans were covering the floor.

The next room had a crossroads, last time they had gone to the right, but looking at the footsteps he could see on the ground, the enemies had gone left.

Once he entered that room his heart immediately sunk. The room was similar to the one they had taken earlier. A dark stone was standing in the middle of a big formation. It seemed that a legacy was left here as well. The enemy seemed to have taken it.

Cursing his own stupidity, Jay kept following the footsteps that littered the ground. The next room seemed to have been another room of loot. It had empty crates and shelves, looking at the lack of dust at some places it was clear this room had been emptied just a few days prior.

Jay got more and more nervous, it seemed that the enemy had gained as much from these ruins as he had. It was possible they also had a C+ grade weapon and a legendary legacy.

The door to leave this room had been destroyed, it seemed that some Tier 1 spells had hit it causing it to break apart.

He could see from where he was standing that that room was filled with corpses of bats. Large ones with a wingspan of 3 meters.

When he inspected further he saw this room was roughly 3 times the size of the room with the rats in, the bats must have hung on the ceiling until they got disturbed.

Every room he cleared, Jay got more and more nervous, and finally, he arrived at the final door. If this place was really mirroring the other side, this should be the door leading to the stairway.

Once he had prepared a powerful spell, Jay ordered one of his soldiers to open the door. The door slowly creaked open, a long tunnel leading upwards could be seen now, there were no places to hide as the tunnel went straight for multiple miles, going up.

He could see a tiny light very far away, that seemed to be the exit.

After looking at General Green, the 2 of them ran forward at top speed, the soldiers with them were soon left in the dust.

The duo took 1 break in between when they were almost at the exit, so they would be ready for a fight.

When they finally arrived at the exit, they noticed how different this terrain was compared to what they had already seen. They were in a desert. large piles of sand with some sandstone visible here and there.

About 100 meters east of him, was a group of people about 10 men strong. It seemed that they were previously resting and they had been awaiting them. Guiding them was the trio from earlier.

Jay's mind was in disarray, how the h.e.l.l had they arrived in a desert? The region east of them was similar to their own, there would be no deserts for many thousands of kilometers away from him.

Jay cursed inwardly as he tried to make sense of the situation. In the end, he gave up, focussing on the people before them. He a larger group of people approaching from the east as well, still being multiple miles away at this point. It seemed that the enemies had sent reinforcements, they would have to take care of this quickly.
