The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 147 Kill them, kill them all!

Trial by combat was Toussaint's method of adjudicating disputes and resolving controversies.

The two sides will engage in a fight to the death, and no one will be allowed to interfere.

The one who survives will win the trial.

Philippe would rather hold a trial by combat where only one person could survive than allow them to go in and search.

At this point, everyone could almost conclude that there was something 100% wrong with Philibert.

But trial by combat is as sacred as wine in Toussaint.

Once it is proposed, it cannot be refused and others are not allowed to interfere.

Maximus was silent for a moment, then agreed: "Okay, if you insist..."

The troops on both sides retreated together, leaving enough space for the two to duel.

Philibert drew his sword and took the shield handed to him by the bandit disguised as a servant.

Same with Maximus.

The two of them were close enough that they could see each other's faces clearly.

"I'm going to kill you! Maximus, you shameless guy! You ungrateful bastard! I'll let you know the consequences of daring to go against me! I'll make you regret it!"

Compared to the foul-mouthed Philibert, Maximus seemed much more silent.

As if they heard the signal of a starting gun, the two men pounced on each other fiercely at the same time like wild beasts.

The two sword blades collided fiercely, then separated, collided again, and separated again.

No one could count how many rounds they fought.

All you can see is the sparks created by the collision of the swords, which are so dazzling.

But in the end, it was Maximus who won.

He once again blocked Philibert's attack.

Then, while the opponent's arm was numb and unable to defend himself, he swung away Philibert's sword.

And a finger with blood splattered on it.

Maximus kicked Philibert hard in the open stomach.

Kicked him to the ground.

Philibert subconsciously wanted to get up.

But the blade of the long sword he was holding was firmly stepped on by an iron boot.

"Kill me," Philibert said stubbornly even at this moment, "Kill me if you dare."

"You lose, Philibert. I won't kill you. Considering that your father once took me and my family in, I will spare your life."

"But you are no longer a knight. You have lost your honor and should not stay in Toussaint. Leave and never come back."

After saying this, Maximus moved his feet and took a few steps back.

In his opinion, the outcome has been decided.

But Philibert cried out like a mad beast: "Kill them! Kill them all!"

A row of bandits stood behind the courtyard wall, each holding a crossbow in his hand.

"Take cover!"

Damien's roar arrived almost simultaneously with the arrow.

The sound of the crossbow string being released and the crossbow arrow cutting through the night sky is chilling.

The neighing of horses, screams, and the sound of crossbow bolts hitting shields and piercing armor mixed together.

The knights errant and their armed squires reacted quickly.

Protected himself with a shield in time.

However, three soldiers of the Principality Guard were still injured in the previous round of arrows.

Philibert laughed wildly.

But this madness only lasted a few seconds.

Because the crossbow stopped after firing only one round.

Philibert turned around in surprise and confusion, and then he was shocked to see that his bandits were being slaughtered quickly.

Also from the pitch-black night, arrows were shot out, hitting the robbers accurately.

Some robbers tried to retaliate in the direction from which the arrows came.

But how can trembling hands guarantee much accuracy?

And immediately a sharp silver light would retaliate and nail the robbers to the wall. When more than half of the robbers were killed by arrows shot in the dark night, they had not even seen the true face of the enemy.

The remaining bandits finally collapsed, threw down their crossbows, climbed over the courtyard wall, ran towards the Duchy Guards and the Knights-Errant, and surrendered to them.

"Bastard!"

Finally realizing that the situation was hopeless, Philibert quickly mounted his horse and fled for his life.

But he didn't have time to run far.

A silver light shot out from the manor.

Exploded his chest.

Philibert didn't even make a sound. He flew off the horse like a huge rag doll and fell heavily to the ground with a bang.

On the watchtower in the vineyard, Lynn, holding the Kovir longbow, made sure that there was no enemy left to resist before putting down the bow.

……

After killing Philibert and his bandits, they entered the vineyard and finally found the missing people in the wine cellar.

They were cold and hungry, and their bodies bore signs of torture.

The soldiers brought them out of the wine cellar and distributed blankets and food to them from the estate.

Captain Damien also ordered several soldiers to return to the pass immediately and find a few carriages.

Given these people's weakened condition, they probably can't walk.

Others searched the entire manor from top to bottom.

Finally, a diary was found in the secret room.

The above records the reason why Philibert did this.

It turned out that he was indeed responsible for so many cases of missing persons in the principality during this period of time.

He wanted to kidnap these people and sell them to the Nilfgaard Empire as slaves.

He was not instructed by anyone.

Because slavery already existed in Nilfgaard.

As long as the slaves were sent over, the nobles and merchants of Nilfgaard would not ask a single question.

As for why he did this.

It was because of a noblewoman named Lucienne.

Philibert was madly infatuated with her.

In order to pursue her and win her favor, Philibert spent all his money.

This is why they had to rely on the slave trade to make money.

……

"For the glorious Duchess, for our victory, for the witcher..."

"cheers!"

Under the leadership of Palmerin.

The knights errant, armed squires, and soldiers of the Duchy's Guard cheered in unison and raised their glasses to greet the two witchers.

This has been going on for several rounds.

However, no one present took it seriously.

It was a short, quick victory.

Before they could rush into the Casteldaccia estate, the battle was over.

But of the three soldiers shot by the robbers with crossbow arrows, only one survived.

One of them died on the spot, and the other died on the way back to the pass.

That's why we celebrate so much.

It is also to commemorate the soldiers who died heroically.

Everyone was grateful to the witcher.

Everyone knows.

If it weren't for the witcher, their casualties would definitely not be limited to three.

In this noisy atmosphere, Milton suddenly came to Lynn's side and whispered in his ear.

"Master Lin En, can you please excuse me for a moment?"
