He noticed that the first line was made of warriors with defensive features. Behind them are millions of soldiers of various types created or summoned by the one-man army.

He said to them, "I hope for your sake that you have come to me to hand over your rent together and do me the favor of shortening my work."
It is clear that they are here to fight him. The soldiers were already surrounding him so he didn't need to ask. But he asked and they replied. They deployed their domains on him.
