With the addition of Sylvia, Geralt and others also began to exert their strength, and the balance of the battle soon tilted in one direction. The knights led by Sylvia shuttled back and forth among the enemy formations, and all the enemies in front were

Dead bodies were found on the spot.

Every time Sylvia's raids were carried out, the caravans cheered, and the morale of the caravans also increased steadily.

In this case, the bandits realized that they had been defeated, so they instinctively made the decision to escape.

However, all those on horseback among them had died in Sylvia's hands. The others could not escape the pursuit of the four-legged horses with their two legs. Except for a few people, they fled into the woods to avoid Sylvia.

Except for the pursuit of Wea and the caravan guards, most of the others died on the way to escape.

When the last bandit who resisted desperately was hacked to death by several guards, the battle that lasted for about half an hour ended. Everyone did not cheer at first, but looked blankly at the piles of corpses around them. In the end, they did not know

Who stood up and shouted loudly, Long live the Knight of Light! Long live the Saint!

In an instant, everyone cheered loudly with all their strength, as if not cheering loudly was not enough to express their excitement at the moment.

For the people in the caravan, it was already a miracle that they could survive the siege of so many bandits. But now they not only survived, but also wiped out all the bandits, and even suffered very low casualties.

Only two guards were killed in the battle, three ordinary civilians were accidentally hit by stray arrows and were killed on the spot, while the others only suffered some injuries.

Such a result is simply unheard of, it is enough to be called a miracle, and the person who brought such a result is the woman called the Knight of Light. They used to be skeptical about all the miraculous rumors about the Knight of Light.

But now they have completely believed it. Even cheering is not enough to express their mood at the moment. All kinds of praise words they can think of have been used on Sylvia, and even this is not enough to express one ten thousandth of their mood.

.

Looking at Sylvia surrounded by countless people, Cassil couldn't help feeling envious and said, "It's really enviable."

Angouleme didn't know when he came to Cassirer's side, and happened to hear Cassirer talking to himself, so he said: "If you can lead seven knights and kill hundreds of bandits, then you can also get

This girl cheers that one."

Cassirer said nothing because he knew this was something he would never be able to do in his life.

After Sylvia returned to the camp, she calmly accepted all kinds of words of praise and adoration from the people in the camp. She knew that the previous battle of life and death had strained their nerves to the extreme. Now that the battle was over, they had accumulated a lot of emotions in their hearts.

Various emotions need to be released and vented, and now cheering for victory may not be a way to vent.

When Sylvia felt that it was almost the same, she raised her hand to signal everyone to quiet down, and then said something about how honored she was to be able to fight with everyone present, and also thanked the few wandering knights who had been following her into the battle.

, then she ordered everyone to start cleaning the battlefield, taking care of the wounded and other things.

Although this kind of thing should be given by the caravan leader, but now she has become the backbone of the entire caravan, and her orders are more useful than the caravan leader.

Soon the camp began to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner. First, the mercenaries and bounty hunters checked the bandits lying on the ground. Those who were dead were handed over to others to move away, and those who were not dead were given a sword.

Soon, several piles of corpses were piled up not far from the camp. In order to prevent the corpses from attracting some bad guys, Sylvia ordered the village to collect firewood from each house, pile it next to the corpses, and burn them.

Get rid of it to avoid future troubles.

It wasn't until everything was done that Sylvia turned around and returned to her tent. At this time, Leo was flipping through a book, unaffected by the fierce battle outside the tent just now.

"I'm starting to enjoy this kind of life!" Sylvia put down the helmet in her hand and suddenly said without ending.

Leo looked up at her and said, "Fight or cheer?"

"Both." Sylvia simply responded.

Leo was silent for a moment and said, "I feel like we are going back soon."

"Going back soon?" Sylvia frowned and asked.

Leo nodded and said: "I have already felt the location of the remaining pages of Night God's Sigh. If nothing else happens, that Wige Fortz is our target."

Sylvia didn't say anything but sighed slightly. She was used to the life here and enjoyed the glory she had gained, so she was quite reluctant to give up.

Leo said in a deep voice: "If you want, we can stay here for a while."

"No need!" Sylvia shook her head and said: "Although the life here is very good, it makes me feel unreal. It is better to go back to our own place."

Seeing Sylvia say this, Leo said nothing more.

The night passed quickly. Although they experienced such a big battle last night, the caravan still had to continue on its way. The people in the village had found some clues from the dozens of noble guards and knew that the attack last night was basically

They came for them, and the people of the caravan saved their village, so they were extremely grateful to them. When the caravan left, they gave all the hemp harvested years ago to the caravan.

Although the caravan leader was unwilling to accept the hemp, he also knew that this matter could not just depend on his own wishes. If the hemp was sold, it would not only be enough compensation for the families of the two dead guards.

Jin could also give a generous bonus to everyone in the caravan, so she hesitated a little, accepted the money, and reminded the village chief very seriously that it was best to hide away for a while to prevent that

The noble will do something crazy again.

The morale of the caravan that continued on the road was very high, and the spirit was also very excited. They were still thinking about the battle last night. Many people even pulled the seven wandering knights who followed Sylvia to attack last night and recounted it over and over again.

How Sylvia killed her enemies in the late 19th century, some poets who followed the caravan on the road did not hesitate to compile it into poems.

On the road that followed, the caravan hardly reached any place. The poets would go to nearby taverns or squares where crowds gathered, and sing those poems to promote the bravery and power of the Knight of Light.

Naturally, some people will question the content they sing, but those poets will take the doubters to the caravan to see the harvested bandit heads.

There were many bounty hunters among the guards hired by the caravan. They were very familiar with the bandits with bounties on their heads, so when clearing the battlefield, they easily found the leaders of the bandit groups.

The bosses are ruthless guys who have had bounties on them for many years and have not been taken away. Almost anyone in the Maiti area who pays attention to bounties knows these people, and their bounties are naturally very high.

Originally, the bounty hunters planned to take out these heads in exchange for bounties after arriving at the nearest town. However, after the poet wrote a poem for the Knight of Light, they felt that these heads should not be taken out for money, but should be used.

To show the glory and prestige of the Knight of Light, they sealed all these heads with special methods. Once someone did not believe the shocking achievements of the Knight of Light mentioned in the poem, they would take out the heads.

as proof.

So when the caravan marched to the city of Matina, Sylvia's reputation had already spread in the city of Matina, and everyone knew that the Knights of Light from the Principality of Toussaint had come to the Nilfgaard Empire.

.

Many people came here, hoping to see this legendary knight, but they all came to nothing. It turned out that after the caravan walked out of the Magdala Plain and arrived at the first big city, Fuzam.

, Sylvia and others left the caravan and continued southward. According to the itinerary, they may have entered the vicinity of the Silt River at this time.

Although it was disappointing not to be able to see the legendary Knight of Light, in the poetic story, the seven wandering knights who followed the Knight of Light to attack the enemy were still in the caravan, and these seven people immediately became the friends of the nobles in the city.

As a guest, he was even recruited as a family knight by several big nobles of Matina.

Geralt and others did not know what happened to the caravan after they separated from it, but they knew that Sylvia's reputation in Matina was now very loud, and all kinds of things about Sylvia could be heard everywhere.

Legend has it that even many things that happened in Toussaint were far-fetched and placed here in Matina by some evildoers.

"I think it won't be long before these legends will promote you as the savior who can prevent the coming of hoarfrost." After hearing an exaggerated legend about Sylvia in the tavern, Angouleme ran back with a smile.

They walked into their temporary camp outside the village and said to Sylvia who was reading a book with Leo.

Sylvia smiled and said nothing.

At this time, Cassirer, who was out looking for boats, also returned to the camp. They said that there were no suitable boats in this village, but they mentioned walking downstream along the Silt River and entering the Barony of Tarnhan.

You can see a bridge for people to walk on. Although the bridge tax is a bit high, there is no inconvenience caused by taking a boat.

The next day, everyone followed the instructions from the village and walked downstream along the Silt River. After walking for about half a day, they entered the Barony of Tarnhan and saw the wooden bridge on the river.

Judging from the style of the wooden bridge, it should be a temporary bridge built by the empire you attached to allow the army to cross the river. However, after the army passed by, the bridge was not demolished. Instead, it was used by the local nobles to strengthen the bridge.

, and then set up cards at both ends of the bridge to collect taxes.

When Geralt and his party crossed the bridge, they encountered a little trouble. This trouble mainly came from Geralt, the witcher. I don't know why the local lord seemed to hate the witcher very much, which also made the people below hate him.

The witchers didn't like him very much, so they stopped Geralt and wouldn't allow him to cross the bridge even if they paid him.

However, the matter was quickly resolved after Cassirer revealed his identity. The bridge tax collector knew very well that after all, Cassirer's family was a powerful and powerful family in the Nilfgaard Empire. Although the other party may not necessarily be able to attack the tower.

Baron Eunham caused no harm or bad influence, but dealing with him as the bridge tax collector was not a problem.

After crossing the Silt River, Geralt and his team could sense more and more that the attitude of the people here towards witchers was getting worse and worse. Not only were witchers not allowed to enter the village or town, they were even

None of them were willing to sell things like food to witchers, and some bad guys repeatedly provoked Geralt, as if they wanted to deliberately get Geralt into trouble.

However, these matters were all solved by Cassirer. Even if the local sheriff was provoked, the other party would not pursue too much because of Cassirer's identity.

On the second day after crossing the river, they came to a town called Claremont. This town was larger and more lively than the towns they passed before. Although the town was not established next to the Nilfgaard Empire,

, but because of the bridge over the Schilt River, many caravans traveling from north to south will choose to go around here, which will save a lot of costs.

Due to the arrival of a large number of caravans, the town became a mixed bag, and there were also some entertainment facilities that were not found in other places, such as the gladiatorial arena.

Compared to towns in other places, Claremont has a slightly better attitude towards witchers. It at least allows witchers to enter the town and is willing to trade goods with witchers.

It is not very far from the final destination, Styga Castle, and can be reached in about a day. Considering that there may be a tough battle after arriving at the castle, Geralt decided to rest and recuperate in Claremont today.

Recharge your batteries and prepare to regroup before heading to Styga Castle tomorrow.

Everyone didn't have any objections to this, so they found a hotel to stay in Claremont.

In the hotel, Sylvia thought that she might be leaving tomorrow, so she asked Leo to accompany her for a walk around the town. Leo did not refuse and agreed to Sylvia's request.

However, neither of them took off their armor. Instead, they found a cloak to cover their bodies. After saying hello to Geralt and the others, they walked out of the hotel and wandered around this prosperous town.

Although Leo and Sylvia looked a bit weird in full armor, among the caravan guards traveling from north to south, there were many people dressed in such weird clothes, so the locals just looked at them more.

I didn't pay much attention to them anymore.

However, some people saw the material and shape of the two armors from the gap between the cloaks, and judged that the two suits of armor were probably two sets of very high-end armor, which made those people have some thoughts.
