This, too, was part of the pilgrimage—a trial that had to be endured.
"Sir Westheid, do not worry. I have several former subordinates here. I can try to persuade them to surrender."
Seeing the troubled look on Westheid's face, Uther patted his own chest and declared:
"I've trained quite a few disciples. For my sake, creating an opening in their resolve shouldn't be too difficult."
'Hm? I doubt it will be that easy, but since you're so confident...'
Hearing the Black Knight's confidence, Westheid decided to let Uther give it a try.
And so, the pilgrimage army loitered before the Heaven-Reaching Wall for a time until Uther located the section of the defensive line manned by his former subordinates.
