The Goblin King himself hasn’t been defeated yet, but Shiroe decided that forging proper alliances with the People of the Land was more important than finishing off the goblins.

He passes his sword to Saburou and then gallops off, leaving Saburou to be taken in by the family retainers as the runaway (and now presumed to be brain-addled) Oda Nobunaga.
