Why is everyone complaining? This is not filler, it seems pretty relevant to me. If Guts is ever to challenge Griffith and his armies, he's going to need a whole lot more than the ragtag bunch following him around. Rickert might become extremely valuable in recruiting the Bakiraka as his allies in the conflict to come.
That would be so great! If Rickert ever meets Guts again, I'll cry tears of joy. Nice chapter, you can't always follow Guts' story (especially not after the events of the Eclipse), if you don't have to wait 1 month until you can read the next chapter, then you won't feel bored by chapters like this for sure.
