A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 373

By the time Rophod and his group arrived in the west, the forces of Viscount Mernes had already taken position before the city gates.

There are a lot of them.

Even at a glance, the enemy numbers were overwhelming.

Siege weapons were among them as well.

And standing at the front, gazing up at the city walls, were ten warriors—each one exuding an undeniable presence.

Their weapons varied, but their auras were unmistakable.

Among them was a familiar face—someone Rophod knew.

"A deserter."

A knight who had caused trouble in the order and fled.

The man spotted Rophod atop the wall and smirked.

"Idiot."

The word was mouthed rather than spoken, but Rophod felt a chill run down his spine.

This man had been his senior—far more skilled.

Not quite a knight, but ruthless enough to be the most dangerous type of opponent in a true fight to the death.

And if the other nine standing with him were of similar caliber…

What about the one behind them?

He stood taller, his presence more commanding than the rest.

He wore a helmet adorned with a single, sharp horn, his shoulder guards matching the design.

Whether his strength matched his eccentric taste in armor remained to be seen.

Even if the ten warriors ahead were formidable, what about the entire army stationed behind them?

As the weight of impending defeat crept into Rophod’s chest—

"A lot of fun-looking bastards here."

A beastwoman’s voice rang out.

Then came the voice of the swordsman who had trouble finding his way.

"One of them looks decent at least. The rest? Nothing special."

Rophod was baffled.

They showed no sense of urgency. Not even a sliver of tension.

"Open the gates! We are the forces of Viscount Mernes, here to capture the traitors!"

The enemy commander called out.

A man Rophod didn’t recognize—

Neatly dressed, helmet tucked under his left arm, a sword at his waist and a shield in hand.

The shield gleamed under the sunlight, blinding to look at.

The soldiers on the wall wavered, fear creeping in.

If they faltered here, they would lose before the battle even began.
