Serpent Boss and his guild members disengaged from Ronald's force once he received David's message that the disaster item had been activated. David rendezvoused with him and they made their way to the palace gate in stealth. They hid at the side while they watched the demon horde clash with the zombie army.
David sent messages to Jeanny, telling her about what was happening outside the gate. When Boron's army retreated to the siege weapons, David gave Jeanny the signal.
Jeanny and the others had been preparing behind the gate. Thelgrun had regained his fighting spirit after Jeanny's admonishment. This spirit in turn roused the fire within his soldiers, burning their hearts with a violent flame to obliterate the rebels and the invaders who had intruded into their homes.
