Chapter 547 – Fallen Clemen

In distant lands, such as Naurillia, there were nobles who didn’t believe in Enkrid’s legendary reputation. Or rather, they thought his feats were exaggerated, sprinkled with a bit of bluster.

When minstrels sang about the “Ballad of the Impregnable Wall” or the “Song of the Knight Who Stood Against a Thousand” it all seemed implausible.

Stories of him drawing a line in the dirt with a burning sword and raising a wall of fire seemed too fantastical to be true.

Though some minstrels had tried to detail Enkrid’s exploits more accurately, exaggerated tales were the ones that spread the fastest. Such stories needed a touch of the extraordinary to capture people’s imagination.

In an era where public executions were considered entertainment, these tales served as welcome diversions. Some distant listeners believed only half of the tales or even less. The gullible believed he truly wielded a flaming sword.

But within the ranks of the Border Guard, Enkrid’s reputation soared to unthinkable heights.

These were soldiers who had fought by his side and their families spread his name far and wide. To them, it was as if they had witnessed the birth of a legend.

While slaying a thousand foes alone would be monstrous, standing against them to bring peace without shedding a single drop of blood was something else entirely.

Those who had been present during his feats could not stop chanting his name.
