Eternally Regressing Knight Novel - Chapter 893
Chapter 893: Chapter 891 – The Prophet of Border Guard
Chapter 891 – The Prophet of Border Guard
Luagarne had no time for her head to rest as she observed and analyzed the scale of the approaching enemy forces and the movements of allied troops.
She pondered while ruminating on part of the situation she grasped like that.
‘Should I call it crazy, or should I call it bold?’
Or is it just a probe?
‘Probably a probe.’
If they fail to react to the movement shown by the Lihin-Stetten army, the war will end before it even starts.
Lihin-Stetten sent one group forward while advancing.
The vanguard pushes in as is without stopping.
They put forward large biological weapons called elephants.
Their grey-skinned bodies, unmixed with monster blood, looked robust enough to carry giants.
They had no intention of stopping.
That will vividly stimulated her skin.
Oil flowed onto the surface of her skin, making it shinier and sleeker than usual.
It was because the momentum emitted by the gathered army acted as a stimulant to the Frog.
Seeing the elephant unit shaking their trunks, soldiers would feel dizzy.
The momentum would be lost.
It was obvious that would happen if nothing was done.
Of course, Luagarne responded perfectly to their movement as soon as she captured it.
“If necessary, the knightly order will step to the vanguard.”
The grey-haired knight right beside her said.
At Cypress’s words, Luagarne closed her eyes instead of answering.
Her eyes felt stiff from rolling them around so much.
‘If necessary.’
The meaning of those words is one.
Cypress means he knows what Luagarne did amidst the rapidly changing situation.
“You’re quick-witted.”
Frog said opening her eyes.
“Since I lived seventy years with just wits.”
“Right, your wits are extraordinary even at a young age.”
Luagarne offered praise again.
Cypress showed a laugh at Frog’s joke.
“Seventy is a very old age for humans. Frog. You seem to trust the human who stepped forward quite a bit.”
At those words, Frog’s cheeks puff up.
They swell roundly as if they would if tapped.
“If that kid gets pushed back, step in then. If he falls from a casually thrown punch by the opponent, this fight will be lost even if the knightly order steps in.”
Luagarne glimpsed the future based on Frog’s unique insight and the experience she had accumulated.
A tomorrow that might happen or might not.
If they start getting pushed back, they have to welcome enemy knights while surrounded by enemies.
Afterwards, the enemy can choose a wheel battle by sending out multiple knights, or fight while gnawing at the stamina and mental strength of friendly knights by consuming troops.
‘Number of enemy knights?’
Three? Five? Ten?
Unknown.
Only, it won’t be few.
It would be correct to view it as at least equal to allies.
Even if numbers differ, that is correct when comparing combat power.
The worst case is the opponent being superior.
Well, once the front line starts getting pushed back, it ends there.
Furthermore, that’s not even considering all their man power.
This vanguard is just a casually thrown punch from the enemy.
If they collapse here, a fight cannot be established.
It would be a losing fight from the start.
It becomes a battle not even worth starting.
The Great Emperor’s will, or words thrown by the Great Emperor’s strategist, could be heard.
“Now, if you can’t even block this much, this is the end.”
It’s not that they actually said such words, but isn’t the opponent’s intention obvious?
They had no intention of dragging the fight long.
‘Feels like watching a fight between an adult and a child.’
This was her honest feeling.
Only, the child on this side was cared for by the heavens and given unique talent.
Conversely, the side looking like an adult is extending it’s fist as if testing the opponent.
“As always, seeing trust and faith towards someone is enjoyable.”
Cypress said with arms crossed.
Luagarne’s gaze briefly left the battlefield and headed towards the human named Cypress.
Unlike his calm tone, a strange heat lingered in his eyes.
Meaning, like the eyes of a person sitting at a gambling table.
Eyes of one expecting thrilling pleasure.
“Interesting.”
He muttered again.
Traces of Enkrid were glimpsed in that tone.
‘Should I call it natural.’
Madness was also glimpsed in the guardian deity who protected Naurillia for more than half his life.
Wondering if the word ordinary suits a knight, but Luagarne thought it was a madness different from ordinary knights.
Just like Enkrid and the Madmen.
Her gaze headed to the battlefield again.
Precisely, she recognized those taking positions in three directions.
One is a swordsman who entered enemy territory as he pleased, deviating from expectations.
On another side is one barbarian and one beastkin.
Those two know how to use their heads.
To be precise, the barbarian does.
He will move taking the beastkin, find vulnerable spaces with instinctive senses, stab, and disrupt.
‘The core is you.’
The last is a young man who stepped forward leading part of the army in the center.
Meaning, a young human male even by Cypress’s standards.
Name is Ropord.
Excluding Enkrid, he spent the most time with Luagarne and was a genius who absorbed the experience she possessed.
‘There are rare few better than you in a fight leading troops and examining the war situation.’
Luagarne’s trust is based on things he has shown so far.
If Fel and Ropord simply fight one-on-one, Fel is superior.
Ropord is the side barely catching up.
However, what if they fight leading a hundred soldiers?
In mock combat training, Fel has never beaten Ropord even once.
Leaving aside appearance, behavior, and training methods, it is one of the reasons Ropord is vastly more popular among soldiers than Fel.
His judgment and talent shine in specific situations.
Ropord leading troops will play his role anywhere, leaving aside vanguard or flanks.
Ordering him to lead a group and step forward meant to prevent this battle from ending before it even starts.
***
Lihin-Stetten’s army advanced with the entire army divided into four: vanguard, left and right wings, and rearguard.
Among them, the vanguard unit approaches without stopping.
They didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping.
‘An army that advances even by filling rivers and making bridges on cliffs if necessary.’
That is the Lihin-Stetten Ropord knows.
‘What do these words imply?’
First is belligerence.
‘Second is that they have that much fighting experience.’
Words that naturally came to mind seeing the current enemy formation.
Ropord repeated thinking.
Broad vision and grasping the situation are his specialties.
Grasping surrounding circumstances is not checking one by one with eyes.
Something more than that is needed, and its basis was thinking power.
For example, seeing a walking person and recognizing the position where he will stand three steps later.
Overlaying parts of sensory arts learned from Jaxen here, adding tactics and variable factors learned through Luagarne.
Ropord felt his head getting hot.
The enemy’s momentum stimulating his skin seems mixed with their will.
‘The vanguard unit just strikes and enters.’
Calculation begins.
Meaning, everything he knows is gathered, piled up neatly, and mixed again.
Such a process was repeated countless times.
Whatever he was looking at, his left and right pupils moved ceaselessly.
Fel waited with Idolslayer draped over his shoulder.
Moving at the nerd’s command is quite unpleasant, but still, he acknowledges what needs to be acknowledged.
In a fight leading troops, this nerd becomes a completely different person.
While Fel stood blankly waiting for his turn, Ropord opened his closed eyes.
His vision caught two factors the enemy overlooked.
‘Ragna, Rem.’
The two moved.
Knowing what kind of people those two are, he also predicted how they would move.
Not that they move exactly as he wills.

‘Rem will poke and annoy the enemy’s nerves.’
Result-wise, he knows what they will do.
‘Ragna is the opposite. He will point his sword at everything offensive to the eye.’
Looking at usual tendencies, it would be opposite, but Ropord knows.
Rem moves more cleverly than thought, and Ragna uses his head less than thought.
The actual tendencies of the two were different from appearance.
‘What I have to do here is.’
Blocking the vanguard and preventing them from taking position where the enemy wants.
‘The reason they sent out the vanguard.’
Ropord saw up to there.
Since he saw, knew, and predicted, what to do was also clear.
Also, aren’t the variables called Rem and Ragna on his side?
“Fel.”
“Speak. Nerd.”
Fel looked at the giant creature approaching from the front.
Just looking at the size, it is vastly bigger than the sheeps of the Wilderness.
Killing that would be his role.
“From now on, you are our unit’s guardian.”
“Right, I will kill that lump… What?”
“While the armies clash, run until your soles sweat and help soldiers in danger.”
Ropord knows Fel.
He was confident he knew him best within the knight order too.
‘Stamina and agility are outstanding.’
Limited to fights simply clashing swords, judgment is also above first-class.
However, if going towards coordinating the entire war situation, all abilities possessed fade.
‘Talent concentrated uniquely on one side.’
That is Fel as Ropord sees.
He knows because he clashed countless times.
He knew well that if fighting risking lives, Ropord himself would find it hard to beat Fel.
‘Of course, I will never admit it with my own mouth.’
Even if his neck was half cut, he had absolutely, not even a bit of intention to admit it.
“Busy. Move. Hillbilly.”
“This crazy bastard?”
Fel said so but took a step as Ropord said.
What he wished for was clear.
Permeate between friendly formations and fight.
The goal is simple.
As long as perceptual ability allows, approach soldiers in danger, receive attacks instead, and fight.
“All troops, deploy in line.”
Ropord then gathered officers and spoke.
Several lower-ranking commanders moved according to his orders.
This side is also elite if called elite.
Meaning they are those who survived rolling their bodies on dangerous battlefields.
The unit moving according to Ropord’s command faces elephants and giants holding spiked hammers, etc.
Looking at it like this, it’s like a mantis blocking a rolling boulder.
If the two fight, which side gets crushed?
No need to ponder the answer.
The side that should be scared was also clear.
‘If soldiers’ minds collapse, a fight is impossible in the first place.’
Ropord judged so.
In that sense, Fel intervening between friendly troops was a truly correct judgment.
Like an ant moving between mantises, but the and is a monster who goes beyond stopping a boulder alone to even breaking it.
“What are you looking at? He says fight together. I wanted to slice that big lump of flesh.”
At Fel’s nonchalant words, allied morale rises.
The effect of a knight fighting shoulder to shoulder.
Furthermore, didn’t Fel already commit eccentric acts clearly visible to allies?
The appearance of drawing a line on the ground and dodging arrows, spears, shields, knives, etc. thrown by the enemy left a deep impression on everyone.
On top of that, the King defended him right beside him and respected his will.
Although it’s difficult to ask them to trust him as equal to the Crimson Cloak Knights right now, should one say it’s a position sufficient to give stability comparable to that?
***
Ropord stood on two feet and drew his sword.
Chiring.
The speed is slow but movements are large.
Gathering everyone’s gaze like that, he hit the spear shaft of a soldier standing next to him with the drawn sword in front of the unit deployed in line.
Tang.
A small noise rings.
The startled soldier looked back.
“Relax.”
Then he swings the sword to the side again.

Tapping the blade of a lower officer on the right.
The officer blinked and looked back at Ropord.
“Worried about that lump?”
Ropord asked in a light tone.
Just listening to that tone, not a bit of threat is felt, only calmness.
“Isn’t a guy who would feel relieved seeing that crazy?”
The officer answered.
Standing in the vanguard meant being that bold.
Soldiers and lower officers on the front line might have been tense, but they weren’t scared.
‘Excellent army.’
Still, Ropord missed the Border Guard standing army.
Someday, a day will come when he fights shoulder to shoulder with those he trained and rolled with together.
Shaking off idle thoughts, Ropord focused ahead.
Next to a large lump wearing a saddle that seemed like it would become a burden if put on a horse, draped with dangling cloth scraps here and other places on its body, he saw a familiar silhouette moving.
Moving at a right angle to the direction the enemy squad advances, it was easily noticeable.
Rem doesn’t move in that way.
It was the reason he clearly knew who it was even if the face wasn’t visible due to distance.
“My nickname is The Prophet of Border Guard. Here, one prophecy. That lump will soon fall and die.”
Ropord pointed to one side with his finger.
The expression of the soldier holding a spear became strange.
Furrowing brow and nose bridge.
‘What kind of nonsense is that.’
Naturally, it’s a white lie, but a few soldiers who did mock training together did call Ropord by similar titles.
One who hears the whispers of the God of Fate.
Chewing on those words, they had a similar meaning to prophet.
Realistically, it was a result created by exercising insight that only he possesses on the battlefield.
Also, he mixed in the method learned from Enkrid of spitting appropriate words at appropriate moments.
The soldier’s expression changed rapidly.
Because in his vision, the elephant, the giant biological weapon the South boasts, was seen tilting and falling.
Ku-ung.
Soon, along with vibration ringing the ground, blood soars like a fountain from ahead.
A large blood fountain entering the eyes of everyone positioned in the area.
In front of it, there was a swordsman possessing a greatsword named Sunrise.
“I became a prophet because the prophecy comes true.”
Ropord muttered, inhaled breath, gathered breath, and shouted.
“All troooooops-! Hold positiooooooon!”
Charging is a bad move.
Ropord judged so.
Now this unit will recreate what Enkrid did sometime.
Additionally, if previously Fel blocked throwing weapons with a virtual castle wall by drawing a line, this time, a castle wall made of an army was blocking the enemy’s vanguard.
“We are the castle wall!”
Ropord shouted again.
The strength carried in the shout bursting out as the prophecy came true permeated into all allies.
Matching that timing, the West’s best hunter also moved.
