Chapter 281 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 281

In the barracks, Krais is spiraling into a state of paralyzing anxiety due to the impending battle. Encrid manages to snap him out of his mental breakdown by offering reassurance, promising that if things go south, he will ensure Krais and the others escape safely. This reassurance restores Krais's focus and composure. Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the barracks is heavy with anticipation; Rem rests, Ragna prepares for combat, and Teresa feels a primal urge to fight. Esther observes the scene, noting Encrid's uncanny ability to restore sanity with a few words. At a military meeting, Commander Graham reorganizes the Heavy Infantry Company into an Independent Company, appointing Palto as the 1st Company Commander and Vengeance as the 3rd Company Commander. Vengeance notes that many nobles have fled the territory, a situation Palto has allowed to maintain order. Krais interrupts the tension by suggesting that the fleeing nobles were actually a benefit to internal unity, as it removed potential threats. Krais then provides a strategic insight: rather than engaging in large-scale battles that would cause excessive damage, the forces should engage in small-scale skirmishes. He proposes a rotation of day and night forces to allow for rest and to gain vital combat experience for the less experienced soldiers. Krais's plan involves using these skirmishes to test the enemy and prepare for larger engagements, while the Independent Company and the Madmen Platoon operate separately. The chapter concludes with Krais indicating that Encrid has a specific, crucial role to play in this strategy.
