The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 396 Jacques of Aldeburg
“Lord Lynn, I am Jacques of Aldeburg, the commander of this force, at your service.”

Lynn nodded and poured the other person a cup of coffee: "How many people did you bring?"

"One hundred and ten knights and twenty-two priests can guarantee that each village will be allocated five knights and one priest."

Jacques of Aldeburg.

In a letter Shapel wrote to Lynn, this young man was described as his most capable subordinate.

He is enthusiastic, ambitious, and also has ideals and aspirations.

Therefore, Chapelle wanted to give Jacques a chance by transferring him to Willen to hone his skills and, depending on the circumstances, give him greater responsibilities.

However, what Shapel was unaware of was the kind of storm that this young man he had his eye on was stirring up on another timeline.

Foltest's beloved daughter, Princess Ada, whom Geralt risked his life to save, is his ally;
Moreover, he also plunged Vizima into turmoil and catastrophe.

However, it wouldn't be entirely accurate to say that he was a complete villain.

In fact, like Ciri, he is also a bearer of the Ancient Blood.

But the illusions he saw were even more terrifying.

This led to extremely serious consequences, ultimately causing him to commit a series of crimes.

Of course, on this current timeline, Lynn will make sure he doesn't go astray again.

Lynn told them to rest at the outpost for a day.

The next day, he personally led the team to various villages in Velen to distribute manpower.

They also planned patrol routes for them.

The Hospitallers are primarily responsible for protecting the villages and roads; the monster Lynn in the forests and swamps will be dealt with separately.

Of course, considering the possibility of monsters attacking the village, Lynn also equipped each of them with silver weapons and alchemical bombs, so that at least they wouldn't be completely helpless when facing monsters.

The pastors who remained in the villages were responsible for educating the villagers and preventing them from going astray.

Thus, Baron Veserad spent several years trying to improve Velen, but he failed. Lynn, however, only stayed for a few months, and Velen was completely transformed.

The village's security has improved significantly. Bandits and brigands have disappeared from Velen. After the old witch's death, the remaining monsters either fled or hid deeper in the swamps and forests.

The villagers' lives are gradually improving; they are gradually achieving basic needs and no longer experience hunger.

The villagers were therefore deeply grateful to the new lord.

Lynn selected another group of young men from these villages to form a guard unit to assist the Knights Hospitaller.

Just like that, time flies.

Soon, another three months passed.

The demon hunters sent to the south also sent good news through the communication box.

The witchers who left Kael'thas this spring have now arrived at Castalachian Manor, Lynn's territory in Toussaint.

Arriving at the manor along with Oakes, Serret, Gerd, Eskar, and Lambert were the witch hunters they had recruited over the past few months in the south:

First were Aiden and Gaitan of the Cat School. After leaving the Witcher Order, the pioneers of the Cat School traveled south and eventually settled in Stiga Castle.

The sorcerers used a new formula to mutate the witchers, originally intended to dull their emotions. However, instead of suppressing their emotions, the sorcerers enhanced them, causing a whole new batch of witchers to lose their rationality.

Later, one of the half-elf witchers, Gizlas, managed to climb out of the crowd, free his brothers from their captivity, and then escaped from Stiga Castle.

To evade the sorcerers of Stiga Castle, these witchers infiltrated the ranks of the Sons of Liberty, offering their services in exchange for their help (later known as the Scoia'tael).

Once they were fully grown, these witchers returned to Stiga Castle and killed the sorcerers while they were still asleep.

After reclaiming Stiga Castle, the Cat School did not settle in the castle, but instead used a caravan as their base and began a life of wandering.

But perhaps it was that experience of being with the Sons of Liberty that inspired the Cat School witchers to completely abandon the old way of making money by taking on witching jobs and instead take on assassination jobs.

The Cat School's demon hunters, unaware of the rules of noble wars (which can be summarized as: it doesn't matter how many commoners die, but nobles cannot shed a single drop of blood), quickly tarnished their reputation among the noble circles of the northern and southern countries.

Finally, an army of soldiers and sorcerers found the caravan that the Cat School had used as a base. Most of the Cat School's witchers were killed, and the caravan was abandoned.

Aiden and Gaitan are the only two remaining Cat School Witchers.

Aiden's personality is least like that of the feline school; he's more like the wolf school. Gaitan, on the other hand, is more like a feline; he's easily provoked, but if things are discussed, he can be reasoned with.

Most importantly, Gaitan is aware of his own temper and personality, so when the other person is a friend, he will try his best to control himself and not let himself think in a negative direction.

Aiden and Gaitan were hiding in the south, and it took a lot of effort for everyone to find them.

The two had no objection to joining a witcher family, but what attracted them even more was the generous pay and the working environment where they wouldn't have to worry about pitchforks.

Compared to these two Cat School Witchers, finding Kogrim, the only Viper School Witcher active in the south, wouldn't be too difficult.

Oakes and Serret used the Viper School's secret code for communication, and Kogrim came looking for them the next day.

The relationships among Viper Witchers are much stronger than those among Cat Witchers, second only to Wolf Witchers. Therefore, when Oakes and Serret expressed their desire for Kogrim to go north with them, Kogrim only asked about the treatment casually before agreeing.

In his view, since even his companions Oakes and Serret were satisfied with their treatment, he certainly wouldn't have any problems either.

Finally, they also found a witcher from the Bear School, Ivo of Behaven.

Unlike Gerd, this person is a typical example of the Bear School.

He doesn't care about schools of thought, nor does he care about his fellow students.

He only cares about himself.

This was not due to hatred towards others, but rather because the Grass Trials of the Bear School had completely washed away his emotions.

At first, Gerd tried to appeal to Ivo's emotions, but it was completely ineffective and almost caused the negotiations to fall apart.

In the end, it was Gaitan, who had already joined the team, who persuaded Ivo.

Gaitan's reason for persuading Ivo was actually quite simple.

As a school of thought that also values ​​rewards more than adhering to the Witcher's code, the Cat School, Gaitan could particularly understand Ivo.

Therefore, he simply abandoned all the roundabout talk and went straight to discussing interests with Gaitan.
