Standing on the balcony, she observed the vast expanse stretching far and wide beyond the castle's towering walls.
Positioned at the first wall were two-meter-tall Crocodile beastkins, their imposing frames clad in armor, wielding tall spears and towering shields.
These beastkins had pledged their loyalty to the Lord of the Night Castle two months prior and had undergone rigorous training under Adar's guidance.

The soldiers stationed both at the first and second walls comprised a substantial number of Crocodile beastkin soldiers, assimilated after the conquests.
