Chapter 312 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 312

Encrid undergoes over three hundred repetitions of a single day, trapped in a cycle of combat against a complex military force. He initially perceives the obstacle as five distinct walls: the mercenaries led by Cent, the Hurrier family swordsmen, wizards, sorcerers, and the persistent Gray Hound. He attempts various strategies to break through, including trying to fight all groups simultaneously and attempting to infiltrate the enemy ranks by stealing a uniform. However, his attempts at deception fail because the enemy commander, Avnair, has implemented strict security measures, including specific passphrases paired with physical gestures and uniform variations. Through the guidance of the Ferryman, who repeatedly tells him that there is only one wall and that he must understand it to overcome it, Encrid begins to shift his perspective. He realizes that the 'wall' is not the physical troops, but the enemy's overarching military strategy and tactics. By reflecting on his previous failures and recalling a conversation with Kreise Allman regarding the difference between predictive and intuitive commanders, Encrid realizes the commander is an intuitive strategist. He concludes that he cannot win through brute force or simple evasion, but must use minimal combat and heightened intuition to outmaneuver the enemy's plan. On his 378th repetition, Encrid finally discovers the path forward.
