Or it's possible that the floating castle is one of the nine top Guild Bases of Yggdrasil with 3,000 levels allotted for NPC creation, and so, those 30 guards might be high-powered level 100 Custom NPCs with high-ranked equipment, given the last command of "guarding the city to their very last". For the hetermorphic beings, they might last a lifetime, but for humanoid and demihuman guardians, they might have already passed away and required having to pass down their positions to successor beings. Well, that's just my theory, though I think others may have caught onto it already.
