On the other side, Lynn was lost in thought.
Through what Earl Torgil just said, he has completely understood.
This means that the total number of troops they can use is only 500.
According to Charimir's account, there are more than a thousand enemies.
In other words, they may have to face about three times as many enemies.
In a war, numbers are naturally crucial.
If there are more people than there are fewer people, it will always be the party with the fewer people that suffers.
Otherwise, the historical examples of winning with less and defeating more would not be repeatedly publicized.
At this time, he heard Earl Torgil say again.
"But don't be too pessimistic. I have sent people to Hindarsfjall Island, Spikeroog, Faroe Island and Undvik Island to request support."
"As long as we hold on until reinforcements from other families arrive, everything will be fine."
Having said this, Earl Torgil turned to look at Lynn again.
"Your Excellency Lynn, I have heard from Your Excellency Gerd that you demon hunters are bound by the principle of neutrality, so I will not embarrass you. If you do not want to get involved in the dispute, I will immediately send you away from Little Skellige Island and return to the mainland."
Lynn smiled.
"Master Earl, since I have already come, I will naturally not leave. I will stay and fight together with you."
Earl Torgil was greatly moved. "Your Excellency Lynn, Tuirseach Branch Family will never forget your kindness today."
At the same time, at the same time.
Duchy of the Curved Coast, Ashton Port Town.
Ashton Port Town is one of the more prosperous ports in the Principality. Although it cannot be compared with Novigrad in the south, it still turns over extremely considerable commercial taxes to the Principality every year.
Some time ago, Ashton Port Town some Nilfgaard businessmen came.
Strangely enough, after these Nilfgaard businessmen arrived, they lived in a villa arranged by the mayor. They rarely left the villa, and even the food was delivered by a dedicated person.
Outside the villa, there are town guards blocking the road, and ordinary people who dare to approach will be warned to leave quickly.
On this day, a knight arrived at Ashton Port Town by boat, and then went straight to the villa where these Nilfgaard businessmen were staying.
When the town guard stopped him, the knight took out a token, and the guard did not dare to stop him anymore, allowing him to enter the villa.
In a room in the villa, the knight met the leader of these Nilfgaard businessmen - his true identity was actually the commander of the Nilfgaard squadron, Earl Tulius.
Earl Tulius, who was dressed as a businessman, frowned and looked at Charimir who was brought to him.
"Why are you so embarrassed?"
Charimir had no choice but to tell Earl Tulius about his previous experience.
Of course, except for the part where I "lost my memory".
To be honest, the lack of that memory also made Charimir doubt himself.
But this person, more or less, has a trait similar to "avoiding illness and avoiding medical treatment".
In the same way, others are good at talking, but when it is your turn, you will always take a chance.
Charimir doesn't feel that he is possessed, or that there is any conspiracy involved, but he attributes it to good luck.
However, he also knew that if he told the truth, he would definitely arouse suspicion from others.
Especially Earl, who is able to become the commander of the squadron, naturally cannot be a fool who can trust others easily.
Therefore, Charimir could only rack his brains to make up a suitable excuse during his escape.
"You mean that the dozens of soldiers entrusted to you by your master, His Highness Duchess Helena, were actually lured into the monster lair by mutants through tricks, and in the end only you escaped?"
Charimir's face is ugly.
No matter from which angle you look at it, the rhetoric he made up has nothing to do with glory, but if he doesn't take the initiative to humiliate himself, then he can't explain how he escaped smoothly.
Therefore, he still nodded with a heavy expression.
"Sir Charimir, it sounds like the most important thing you should do now is to try your best to convince your master that he will not be furious because of your incompetence, but what do you mean by coming to me? Isn't it because you want to borrow troops from Nilfgaard to take revenge?"
"Of course not, Lord Earl, Duchy of the Curved Coast had an agreement with Nilfgaard before. We are responsible for detecting and guarding the empty Islands Family on behalf of Nilfgaard."
"So, you found the target?"
"Yes, but I have a request."
"You say it first."
"I want you to take me with you when you return to the empire and recommend me to join Nilfgaard Army, with a military rank of at least no lower than captain."
On the way back, Charimir had already thought it through.
If he just went back to see Duchess Helena in despair, he might be deprived of his knighthood and territory, and be demoted to a commoner overnight.
After all, his master never gave people the impression of being kind.
Therefore, after Charimir thought about it, the only way out that he could think of was:
Assist the Nilfgaard people to capture Tuirseach Castle.
Use this as your investment certificate and add Nilfgaard.
Although the position of captain is a bit too low, it cannot be compared with the knight master I am now.
But Charimir still has some self-awareness about himself.
He is neither from Nilfgaard, nor did he come from Nilfgaard's military academy. It is obviously impossible for him to reach a high position.
The captain is a bit bad, but at least he is not a big-shot soldier, and he still has some power. If he does well in the future, he will still have the opportunity to go further.
Although there will always be only City of Golden Towers true Nilfgaard people who hold high positions, not to mention northerners who actively surrender, even provincial people within the empire cannot climb up.
But at least it's better than staying at Duchy of the Curved Coast and never getting ahead, right?
Earl Tulius narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Do you want to join Nilfgaard Army?"
"Yes!"
Earl Tulius took a deep look at Charimir: "Then what do you think of the northern kings and their rule?"
Charimir replied without thinking.
"I think the kings in the north are all incompetent. It is their rule that has caused the northern countries to fight for years and the people are miserable. Today, the north is a pool of stagnant water. Only by injecting new power from the outside can this situation be changed and the people be saved from dire straits."
Earl Tulius seemed to be moved by Charimir's generous speech and couldn't help but applaud.
"Okay! With your awareness, your future will be limitless. When we return to Nilfgaard, I will personally recommend you to the empire. Don't worry, the empire will never treat you badly for a talent like you."
