—Back in the Demon King's Castle,
Not giving Erin any time to refute him, Albert quickly rushed out of the castle as he dashed all the way to the outer ward to meet up with Zomatsu, Hart, Talen, and Kela who had set up a line of defense a few meters away from the main gate. Naturally, all the undead left in the castle had been brought out to be used as cannon folders as they were all pretty weak aside from the one Tier 3 Lich and two Tier 3 Black Knights.
Even with those and the remaining trolls, their current fighting force was only about 30 and that was including the female ogress and beast girls Zomatsu had trained over the past few days. Most of their strongest fighters were away at the moment, including Azar and the evolved trolls namely Kazko and Rekaz as well and Rain and Liz, making this lineup the best they could muster.
