David returned to the castle to find twenty-five Legendary Knights already deployed in a Legendary Knight Battle Formation before it.
As for Chairman Gould, he was inside the castle with the demigod Holy Spirit Knight avatar. David nodded to the Legendary Knights, knowing that Gould had arranged for them to protect the castle.
