It had been a week since Haruki defeated the Horned Serpent, saved Monad from the Death Curse and acquired a new Mana Vein for his kingdom. And what a busy week it was.
After resting from MP exhaustion for a day, Haruki - with Asmo's persistent urging - quickly got to work. With the remaining resources on hand, he summoned the basic worker unit of the Demon factions - the Demonspawn, or more commonly nicknamed in-game as "Pawns". Unlike the Villager units of the Human race, Demonspawns had some innate combat ability and could be produced efficiently, so they were sometimes sent to the battlefield as, well, "pawns" for players to use.
