Regressor of the Fallen Family
Atop his galloping horse, Logan strived to calm his pounding heart. This surge of excitement was not a remnant of the war’s aftermath.
“The biggest hurdle has been overcome.”
After regressing to an earlier time, he had finally surmounted the daunting mountain that initially seemed insurmountable. The fierce war had left him with over a hundred knights and a thousand-strong crossbow cavalry, forces he wouldn’t have dared to imagine three and a half years ago.
Even more so, his brother, Victor, Eileen, and others who would become superhuman talents in the future were all unharmed. But most importantly, having defeated Duke Yordan, he could almost grasp the realm beyond the wall that once seemed so elusive—the realm beyond human limits, an achievement he couldn’t have even dreamed of in his past life.
The unexpected talent he acquired upon regression had added a ray of hope to an otherwise grim future.
“I can do this!”
According to his previous life’s memories, a war with the empire would break out in six or seven years. He now had sufficient power to start planning for it. And for that purpose…
“Those in the capital must be dealt with precisely.”
Suppressing his exhilarating heart, Logan continuously yelled back to his followers. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
“Just a little more! A bit faster!”
His dire resolve wasn’t entirely conveyed. His subordinates wondered,
“Why is he doing this?”
“Just focus. Oh no, danger! Don’t doze off!”
“If you nod off, you’ll tumble off! Be careful!”
Despite the relief that the war’s end should have brought, McLaine’s knights had raced their horses relentlessly. The fatigue from the battlefield couldn’t be alleviated with brief rests and power naps, resulting in deepening shadows under the knights’ eyes. The crossbow cavalry behind them, despite their lighter armor, had their eyes half-closed from exhaustion.
Overcoming these adversities without a single man falling behind, McLaine’s speedy advance halted only when they arrived at the fields revealing the walls of the capital, Grand.
“Who is that army?”
“What’s with them?”
“They’re quite numerous, aren’t they?”
From a distance where Grand’s majestic walls were still far away, a force of over 5,000 appeared too significant to merely pass by unnoticed. McLaine’s elites murmured with stern faces.
“It’s allied forces! Don’t tense up and approach slowly!”
Recognizing the elaborate floral banner leading the group with his superhuman vision, Logan smiled.
“I thought it would take weeks more. You’ve worked hard.”
