Chapter 158 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 158

Following the defeat of Aspen, the genius strategist Avnair reflects on the failure of his complex strategies, identifying Platoon Leader Encrid as a potential catalyst for the chaos. To eliminate the threat, Avnair commissions the Assassination Guild, Montaire's Swamp, to kill Encrid. However, the guild's attempts fail repeatedly, with even a top-ten assassin being beheaded. The guild leader reports these failures to the palace, and Avnair decides to cease the pursuit. Meanwhile, Jaxon, an intelligence agent for the Border Guard, has been secretly intercepting and killing the assassins targeting Encrid. After killing a skilled assassin, Jaxon warns the guild through a local contact that the area is his territory, leading the guild to cease operations. Later, Encrid, Krais, Jaxon, Luagarne, and Esther visit a shady underground market to procure whistle daggers. They meet a fortune-teller who agrees to provide the weapons, with Krais handling the payment. As Encrid wanders the market to buy supplies, he discovers that the local merchants, many of whom have sons he saved during the war, treat him with immense gratitude and offer him discounts or gifts. This unexpected warmth leads Encrid to reflect on the true meaning of being a knight—a protector of people's smiles.
