Geralt did not follow the cavalry; instead, he chose to stay behind.
It wasn't that he was afraid to fight those Fanatics.
Although he was capable on horseback, his style was more suited to one-on-one combat. He hadn't received the same training as the cavalry, and joining them rashly could easily disrupt their charge.
Moreover, being on horseback somewhat limited his abilities. He was faster than any steed, and only on the ground could he fully unleash his potential.
Once the cavalry charged, the infantry would find it very difficult to stop them. Armored cavalry against unarmored believers—it was an outright massacre.
Geralt observed the cavalry's condition with some surprise. He had seen many armies in the United Kingdoms, but only the Church's Knights executed commands so decisively and maintained such unwavering, high morale. And now, such a force had appeared under a small town's Lord. This truly piqued his curiosity, especially concerning the mysterious Lord himself.
