A handful join up, but fewer than expected. "Most of those who are still here aren't interested in this war," they explain.
"You must be misunderstanding; we are not come to drag you off to fight the pathetic force of invaders down in the Dragon Kingdom. Yes, that will be the first battle, but they will quickly fold before a large enough force. No, our war takes us north to fight for Sylvania. There, all men who fight under our banner will be rewarded with elvish gold and land. No doubt, that is why you have become mercenaries in the first place; to earn a peaceful living. Well all those who march under our banner may consider themselves retired when Sylvania belongs to the Zweihands."
OOC: I assume the size of this village to be anywhere from 500 to 5,000. I'd hope to rally at least 700 men, but any number will suffice.

IC: A few others join up on hearing this, but not all are convinced.
OOC: 500 would be most of the soldiers in the South. There just aren't that many people in this world, so scale everything down.

Gotcha. Perhaps I was thrown off by the size of the Xain force. Perhaps, I need a refresher; how many soldiers can each HQ muster?
