Berserk, Total War: Second Son of Nobles

1444, Mitlan Kingdom - An unknown castle on the Yoda Empire front

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Accompanied by the loud trumpet sounds of the military band, the coalition forces composed of the Midland army and mercenaries began to advance towards the castle under the cover of artillery fire.

"The first soldier to enter the castle, whether he is a regular army or a mercenary, will be rewarded with 5 gold coins!" The Midland officer at the back shouted at the end of the team. The order was quickly passed on by people, which made the attacking team charge towards the castle even faster.

At the back of the team, a short cavalryman and other cavalrymen acted as supervisors. When they found deserters, they would drive them back into the battlefield. If they ran away again, they would be hacked to death with a single blow.

This cavalryman is John Hohenzollern. However, he is not from this world. In his original world, he was playing a game called Total War and suddenly his eyes went black. He came to this world and became the baby of a little noble.

Originally John thought that this was an ordinary medieval world, but through the books in the castle he suddenly discovered that the world he was in was a Berserk world where nobles were rampant and apostles participated in the prosperity, and finally the White Eagle Emperor was fighting against humanity and suffering. John was completely numb.

Fortunately, John was born with the Total War system. Through the system, he can now spend money to summon all the mercenaries in Total War. After he has a territory, he can build corresponding buildings on the territory to recruit troops.

However, reality gives you an open door, and there must be someone behind the door giving you a big fight.

First of all, John was not the eldest son of the noble family, but the second son. Moreover, his noble father was just a small local landlord with only one village. Later, he had to give the territory to his eldest brother.

So now, John couldn't even summon his own general guards, let alone the army.

Fortunately, John's father had connections among the nobles above, and took the opportunity of the Hundred Years' War to help John get the qualification to supervise the war team. So when John was 16 years old, he got a horse, a set of armor that he found from somewhere, a bow, a sword, a kite shield, a small hammer (for capturing prisoners) and a purse, and went to war without even an auxiliary light cavalry or a slave to carry the luggage.

John originally thought that his future would be hard, but it turned out not to be. The members of the war squad around him were all second sons or illegitimate children of various nobles. They all shared the same suffering and no one bullied anyone. Moreover, according to the experience passed down by the old man, being a war squad had a special benefit - looting corpses.

As the battle line advances, the army will keep moving forward, and the nobles behind will not dare to move forward. Then the supervisory team can plunder the corpses left on the battlefield in the middle. Of course, they have to send some people to supervise the battle, otherwise they will have no time to do anything if the army all runs away.

So the supervision team was divided into two parts, one to supervise the battle, and the other to loot the corpses, taking all the money bags, gold and silver jewelry or better equipment from the corpses. The nobles also acquiesced to this, after all, they dared not risk their heads to supervise the battle on the front line, either for fear of being shot by stray arrows or being captured after defeat. Although they could ask their families to redeem them, it would also be embarrassing.

The attack was relatively smooth. When the city gate was blasted open by cannons, Yoda's nobles had already escaped through the tunnel. The rest naturally had no intention of fighting. After all, it was just a few silver coins a day. Why risk your life?

After John returned to the barracks, the supervisory team member who was searching behind him immediately gave John the money he had looted.

"It's a total of 6 gold coins plus 20 silver coins. This battle is not as difficult as the previous ones, so not many people died." The supervisory team member who gave the money complained dissatisfiedly. He wished that this battle would be a bloody one so that they could make a fortune. As for how many people died, it had nothing to do with him.

Then John returned to his tent, asked the groom to move his horse away, took off his equipment and gave it to the slave specially assigned by the army. Then John walked into the tent, lay on the bed and opened the system panel.

Name: Johann Hohenzollern

Position:Mitran officer

Territory: None

John first collects the money he got today to make it 28, then open the employment panel.

Recruiting Spearmen: 100 people, recruitment cost 1 gold coin, maintenance cost 1 gold coin

Mercenary Crossbowmen: 100 people, recruitment fee 5 gold coins, maintenance fee 1 gold coin

……

The next types of troops will all bleed heavily and will not be recruited by ourselves.

"Just because Midland is rich doesn't mean I am rich," John thought to himself. As the war between Midland and Yoda lasted for nearly a hundred years, even the Midland Kingdom, which was known for its vast territory and abundant resources, had a shortage of manpower. Some cities had begun to conscript men to recruit soldiers, and even beggars were dragged into the team and sent to the front line.

Just as John was thinking, the tent was suddenly overturned, and then a supervisor came in and said to John, "The officer wants all the nobles who are not in combat to gather together. I don't know what's going on."
