One by one, Ned freed the slaves whose keys he had. But this was only a small part of the total number of prisoners.
There were still many slaves in the cages, waiting hopefully for release. They looked anxiously at Ned, who was now in the form of Sierra.
All the cages were securely protected from burglary and had formations that prevented slaves from even touching the bars. Like the collars, these cages were of platinum quality, which allowed them to hold only creatures of platinum rank and below. They could no longer restrain the diamond creatures, as well as the collars.
This fact, of course, played into Ned's hands.
Having a sufficient number of freed slaves, most of whom were gold rank and below, Ned, no longer fearing detection, began to forcefully destroy the cages and free the slaves. He took off his collars and joined the ranks of those released.
Although there were few platinum prisoners, there were still some.
