Knights of the square table !

Ne2 intending either Rd4# or b2#?
I hope this much trying is allowed...

edit: saw the Nxe2🙁
another edit: saw the Bd3!!😀

Correct. 1. Ne2 is the solution. I just had written out all defenses, but lost it. This is a so-called negative Knight wheel.

edit: here with more background information

Also the solution is given there, fully written out.
