Chapter 280 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 280

Marcus, the Battalion Commander, is ordered by the Central Government to return to the Capital, a move he views as a political maneuver to strip the North of its power. He suspects the government is using the threat of rebellion as an excuse to weaken the Border Guard. Before leaving, Marcus requests that Graham protect the territory and expresses a quiet, unspoken confidence in Encrid's ability to hold the position. Marcus departs, leaving Graham to assume the role of Lord and Battalion Commander amidst a rapidly deteriorating situation. Chaos erupts as multiple threats converge on the territory. A heretic Cultist, led by a notorious Wolf Bishop, has declared Martai a sanctuary, signaling an imminent invasion from the south. Simultaneously, Viscount Tarnin, acting in coordination with the Black Blade Bandits, begins advancing his troops. To make matters worse, Aspen, the former commander of the reserve forces, has broken his agreement and launched an invasion from the Green Pearl Plains. Graham attempts to seek reinforcements from Count Molsen, but the Count refuses, claiming his own lands are under threat from the Cultists. As rumors of war and abandonment by the Queen spread among merchants, the Border Guard faces total isolation. Graham falls into despair as the realization sets in that the Central Government has effectively forsaken them. Within Encrid's small unit, the tension is palpable. Krais expresses extreme anxiety, theorizing that the Kingdom has struck a political deal to sacrifice the Border Guard to the Cultists or other factions. Encrid observes his comrades—Rem, Ragna, Audin, Jaxon, Dunbachel, Teresa, and Krais—realizing that they are a small, neglected force, yet they are looking to him for their next move. Encrid concludes that withdrawing at this moment would result in a complete disaster.
