The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 324 Great Victory

Chapter 324 Great Victory
The Nilfgaardians had no idea how many Skelligers there were, and in this situation, it was obviously a luxury to expect every ordinary soldier to think calmly.

Once panic spreads, it will lead to collapse.

At this time, Earl Tullius, who had just landed, still didn't understand what had happened in front of him.

He only saw his front army in chaos.

Immediately afterwards, someone was heard shouting, "Our army is defeated, our army is defeated."

Without a second thought, Count Tullius immediately turned back to the sampan he had come from and returned with his guards.

As they rowed towards the ships anchored offshore, Count Tullius saw his soldiers even engaging in violent fighting to grab a sampan that would allow them to escape.

I couldn't help but feel lucky that I reacted quickly, otherwise it would have been dangerous in the chaos.

In the end, the surviving Nilfgaardian soldiers escaped back to the ships, but the price was that more than 600 Nilfgaardians were left behind forever.

Seeing the Nilfgaardian fleet leave, Count Thorgil, Kratz and "Madman" Lugo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though they had just suppressed the Nilfgaardians in one fell swoop, the Nilfgaardians still outnumbered them. If they could see through their strengths and weaknesses and continue to send new troops into the battlefield, they would be in danger due to their numerical disadvantage.

Now that the Nilfgaardians had retreated, the lords immediately arranged for people to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded.

Originally, the islanders planned to kill all the wounded Nilfgaardians who did not have time to escape. It would be fine if they were nobles, but if they were ordinary soldiers, the Nilfgaard Empire would not pay for them.

This is how it should be.

But Lynn stopped them.

A better proposal is given:

Provide these injured Nilfgaardians with medical care, and then let them pay for their lives through labor.

In this era, population is a very precious resource.

In this age when there are no Jenny machines, manpower is needed to do everything. Therefore, wouldn't it be a shame to just kill these prisoners?

The three lords listened to Lynn's advice and finally accepted it.

They were not afraid that these captives would rebel or escape. These captives would definitely be divided equally among the three families, and there would not be much left if they were divided evenly.

As long as these prisoners are not gathered together, they will not be able to rebel.

As for escaping, there is no need to worry.

The Skellige Islands are far away from the mainland, so even if they want to escape, they need a boat.

Besides, it’s not easy to go back to Nilfgaard with just a boat on the vast ocean.

After the discussion, Earl Thorgil said with a smile, "Lord Lynn, Lord Ged, let us take care of the rest of the cleanup. Thank you for your hard work. I will have someone take you back to the castle."

But Lynn shook her head.

"No, the battle isn't over yet." He pointed in the direction the Nilfgaardian fleet had left. "We can't just let them go."

"This……"

"Madman" Lugo and Kratz looked at each other.

"Crazy" Lugo scratched his head.

I feel like this nickname would be more suitable for Lynn.

Lynn already had a plan in mind.

He quickly reviewed the topography of the Skellige Islands, combining it with the geographical knowledge he had memorized from the game, as well as what he had seen and heard while traveling around the islands on demon hunting commissions.

He soon thought of a suitable location to ambush the Nilfgaardians again.

"My Lord Earl, Lord Lugo, and Lord Kratz, what I am about to say is very important. Please listen carefully."

Lin En informed the three of the ambush location he had in mind, and if reinforcements from other island families arrived, he also told them to ambush there. "What about me, brother? What do I need to do?"

Gede, covered in blood, saw that he was the only one who had not been assigned a task, so he asked anxiously.

"Just stay and help them."

"how about you?"

"It would be better if I act alone for the rest of the matter."

After saying this, Lynn drank a bottle of white honey to clear out the potions and toxins that had accumulated previously. After a while, he drank a bottle of advanced killer whale, then jumped into the cold sea and followed the direction in which the Nilfgaard fleet left.

……

The Nilfgaardian fleet did not go too far away. With his extraordinary physique, Lin En soon saw the Nilfgaardian fleet on the distant sea.

To avoid being discovered, Lynn dived underwater and swam past.

The advanced killer whale he had taken previously could increase his oxygen intake by 50% while underwater and enhance his visual ability while diving.

It didn't take much effort for Lynn to approach the stern of the last ship in the fleet from underwater.

He first surfaced, activated his witcher senses to confirm that no one was looking here, then he climbed to the stern and hid on the deck at the stern.

Using the debris on the deck as a cover, Lin En took out the standard armor of Nilfgaard from the magic pattern leather bag and put it on, then used the Amulet of Deception to change his appearance.

The surviving Nilfgaardian soldiers were still in shock after the chaotic retreat.

Even the most demanding officer would not ask for anything at this time.

Therefore, except for the minimum number of sentries, most of the soldiers returned to the cabin to rest.

Originally, after Lin En changed into his armor, he hid on the stern deck. If he was discovered, he would use the excuse that he was too tired and wanted to take a rest.

As it turned out, this excuse was of no use at all, because no one came until night fell.

After a day's rest and getting enough energy, Lin En stood up from behind the sundries.

At this time, he was wearing Nilfgaard's standard armor and had changed his face with the Amulet of Deception. As long as he didn't speak, he would not be exposed (except for the well-educated elite, the lower class people in Nilfgaard generally could not speak the common language, and the difference in accent between the north and the south was very obvious).

He glanced around and found a lone soldier. When the soldier looked at him in confusion, he released the Axis seal.

The soldier's expression quickly became dull.

"I ask, you answer... Who is the commander of your squadron?"

"Lord Tullius."

"Which ship is he on?"

The soldier raised his arm and pointed to the ship in the center of the fleet.

"There is a knight from the Principality of the Arc Coast named Charimir. Do you know him?"

The soldier nodded.

"where is he?"

"It was also on the Earl's ship, but I don't know anything more."

Lynn nodded.

"Forget about this conversation. You're distracted."
