A few days later, the knight brothers summoned by Maximus rushed to the Theodora Pass to join them.
"Palmeline de Lanfort, Milton de Perak Perrin, Lenard de Bois Finès, thank you for coming."
The three knights followed tradition and bowed to Maximus two steps away.
Maximus also bowed in return.
"Since it is the call of the knight brothers, it is naturally our duty to do so."
Next, Maximus introduced Lynn and others to the three knights.
After he finished, he said again.
"I thought it might take some time for you to arrive, but it's beyond my expectation. What a coincidence, you happen to be nearby?"
"Not just right." It was Milton who answered Maximus.
The coat of arms on his breastplate is a huge bull's head in a white snow field, so he is called the Bull Knight by his colleagues.
"We were ordered by the Regent, Raymond Earl, to save the life of Her Royal Highness, the Duchess, and set out to search for Lebioda's sacred relics."
Maximus was stunned for a moment. "Holy relic?"
This time the explanation is about Palmerin.
The knight was tall, with gray hair, and his noble features were sharp and angular, as if they were carved from granite.
His coat of arms is a cross and a golden lily on a blue background.
"It is the holy remains of Lebioda. It is said that as long as the holy remains of Lebioda are burned into holy ashes, it will have incredible powers, including but not limited to curing all diseases in the world."
Maximus said with a worried expression.
"Has Her Highness the Duchess's illness worsened to this extent?"
Toussaint was originally a country that believed in the Lady of the Lake.
However, during the reign of Duchess Carberta of Toussaint, the ideas and beliefs of Lebioda were spread to this land by his disciple Plaguemon.
Plagemon showed the Toussaint people the "miracles" he believed in Lebioda - such as being able to walk on water, turning water into wine, etc.
Since then, this "miracle" has been spread throughout the principality.
Almost all nobles and civilians have become believers in Lebioda.
Plaguemon also persuaded Duchess Roberta, who was still in good health at the time, to build a Lebioda temple in Beauclair.
However, even though most Toussaint have converted to the new faith, quite a few knights errant still insist on their belief in the Lady of the Lake.
Maximus couldn't believe that Raymond Earl would issue such a ridiculous order.
"It was Plaguemon who made the suggestion to Raymond Earl. He knew that Lebioda's holy remains were placed in a sarcophagus in Novigrad. That's why Raymond Earl asked us... to do this dishonorable act."
"But as long as I can save the life of the glorious Duchess, I, Lena de Bois Finès, am willing to stain these noble hands."
Later, the knight brothers were arranged to go down to eat something, rest, and recover their strength.
Taking advantage of this moment, Maximus approached the demon hunter alone and asked.
"Two masters, please lend me your power."
In Midcopus, Maximus witnessed the swordsmanship of these two demon hunters with his own eyes.
It is no exaggeration to say that Toussaint No knight-errant's swordsmanship can reach the level of these two demon hunters.
With their help, this raid would be even more powerful.
"Geralt?"
Of course Lynn had no objection, he looked at Geralt.
The latter sighed, "Okay."
Witchers have a code of neutrality.
But let's not mention that Geralt himself has actually violated the Demon Hunter Code many times. What's more, the bandits who rob homes and homes are everyone's enemies. Even the Demon Hunter will not have mercy on them.
In order to avoid a long night, the knights errant and the Duchy Guards led by Damien set off immediately that night under the cover of darkness.
In the middle of the night, we arrived at Castelchia Manor.
Captain Damien asked the soldiers to take a short rest first, and he called the knights errant and the two demon hunters together alone.
"We will launch an attack immediately after the soldiers have rested."
But Maximus said, "I think Sir Philibert Weedon should be given a chance. Even a thief can defend himself, let alone a knight. Maybe he had some difficulties in doing such a thing."
Although Captain Damien also comes from a noble knight family, he was raised as a commander since he was a child. Therefore, he views issues differently from knights who simply pursue honor and chivalry.
"No matter what his difficulties were, these were no excuses for him to commit crimes in Toussaint. He violated his own honor and betrayed Her Royal Highness the Duchess's trust and expectations in him."
Palmerin, who also felt pity, also supported Maximus.
"I also agree with Sir Maximus. We are knights errant, not robber knights. Even if we have to sentence the other party to death, we should let the other party understand why he died."
"If we just rush in all at once, killing everyone we see and burning houses wherever we see it, what's the difference between us and the robber knights?"
Seeing that the two parties were arguing, Lynn intervened.
"Captain Damien, Ser Maximus and all the other lords, I have a proposal:"
"No matter what you plan to do, I think we should flank the enemy on both sides."
Lynn's eyes looked towards the Castellachia Manor in the night.
For a manor, it covers a large area.
Of course, it's not a fortress after all.
A few knights errant, plus their armed attendants, and hundreds of duchy guards were enough to crush it.
But if it is not handled well, there may be another tragedy in the future.
Lynn's gaze retracted from a distance, staying on Maximus for a while, and finally returned to Damien.
"Later, you go to the front and call the door. Geralt and I will go around to the back. If your talk breaks down, we will kill from the back, attack from the front and back, and squeeze these criminals to death in their incontinent urine."
The current Philibert Weedon is not yet the bandit leader of Heshan Castle in the future.
As for the rotten fish and shrimps under his hands now, he can actually deal with them with his own strength.
Not to mention he also hooked up with Geralt.
In this era, any army will collapse when it is attacked from behind or outflanked, without exception.
Just a bunch of gangsters, let alone an army.
A look of admiration appeared on Damien's face. "Then I will send a few soldiers to go with you."
Lynn waved his hand. "No need, Captain Damien, your soldiers are all wearing armor, and the sound of the armor may expose us. Don't worry, a bunch of gangsters can't do anything to two demon hunters."
