Aggravation of the Rebellion
As soon as he had awakened most of the corpses Minos had in his spatial ring and the Guards he had just killed, the group of prisoners in that area had already moved away from them to join the rebellion.
Meanwhile, Abby and Minos controlled the minds of the prison Guards, forcing them to guide them through this immense place.
Few of the Guards knew where the specific locations of prisoners were in this large unit. After all, there were simply too many enemies of the sovereign family of Uzira who were imprisoned here. But the group of guards knew where Gloria and Ruth's cells were, because of Minos' identity.
As soon as Minos was discovered, the necromancer woman who confronted him told the Cursed Rock forces what he was likely to do. As a result, Ruth and Gloria's cells should have already been manned, while the paths to each of them should have been blocked by groups of Guards.
