"Let's wait a little longer, until those Beastmen leave."
Alex had already made up her mind. While they wouldn't necessarily lose in a direct confrontation, it was better to be safe and eliminate those Beastmen first.
Hearing Alex's words, Maulclaw was about to breathe a sigh of relief when it tensed up again.
It knew it couldn't dissuade Alex. It could only hope that this girl wasn't alone and had other cards up her sleeve. Ideally, she would have an army of over a thousand troops, with at least three Monarch levels among them. Only then would they have a decent chance of killing those Beastmen.
"Aren't we going to look for Ruby?"
Maulclaw still believed that finding Ruby should be their top priority.
"Then have Shadowfang send out some Monarch levels to search. It would be too suspicious otherwise."
Alex looked at the tiger guard, who shook its head. As Ruby's confidant, even it didn't know where she was hiding.
