A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 371

"What?!"

Polman Vertes—Enkrid hadn’t meant to memorize the name, but now he had. He watched the man, his face flushed red with rage.

A sheriff. A bureaucrat.

That meant he was a noble, of course.

Seriously, was the palace just pulling nobles out of an endless pocket?

‘There are too many of them.’

Every other person seemed to be a viscount, baron, or lesser noble, all claiming the blood of aristocracy.

Had they been handing out titles like festival sweets?

That idle thought drifted into his mind, then faded away.

Whether there were too many nobles or too few wasn’t Enkrid’s concern.

Still, if there were this many, surely losing a few wouldn’t hurt.

"Hey, you."

Rem picked his ear lazily as he addressed Polman, who was fuming.

"Now, listen up real good."

"You insolent wretch! Do you know where you are?!"

A different voice rang out—another captain, it seemed, one in charge of another city gate.

Smack!

The South Gate Captain, standing behind him, slapped a hand to his forehead.

‘Why the hell is he stepping up and making a mess of things?’

Enkrid knew armies. He knew soldiers.

How many of these men had come here of their own will?

The sharper and more perceptive among them looked uneasy.

They knew what Enkrid and his group had done.

They had dealt with the Moonlight Beast, ensuring the safety of their families, the citizens, their comrades, and their friends.

These soldiers had been spared a task that should have been theirs to handle.

Their eyes wavered. Their expressions tightened.

Especially those near the South Gate Captain.

Rem completely ignored the loudmouth and continued.

"A Moonlight Beast was terrorizing the people, killing them, threatening them. It wasn’t being handled properly, so even a squire had to step in to help. And surprise, surprise—turns out this ‘beast’ was none other than Bentra or some damn toad. And now you’re saying murder?"

"You impudent—!"

One of the captains, furious beyond reason, lifted a spear taller than himself.

He looked ready to charge at any moment.

Rem slowly lowered his hand from his ear and turned his gaze toward him.

If the man attacked, Rem would cut him down without hesitation.
