Berserk, Total War: Second Son of Nobles

Johnburg Hall

After Simon left the territory, John and the generals had been discussing the attack direction of Yoda's troops.

"At present, the main force of Yoda's army is still in the southeast of Midlan, near Doldore. Their recent strength there has increased to four armies with about 40 people, plus several knightly orders." John said, pointing to the map with a branch.

"As for Midland's preparations, let Spymaster Wesker take care of it," John said, handing the branch to Wesker.

"Yes, sir," Wesker said as he took the branch.

"At present, the troops in the central and western parts of Midland are rushing to the front line. The troops in the capital, Windham, Carcassonne and other cities will arrive in winter. It is expected that there will be 40 soldiers to confront Yoda's army next spring. Before that, the soldiers on the front line of Midland are mostly the lords' troops and a large number of mercenaries. It must be said that the proportion of mercenaries in Midland and Yoda's troops is gradually increasing. However, what cannot be changed is that Midland's infantry is mainly composed of massive light infantry and light cavalry, and the heavy cavalry mainly relies on the lords' direct descendants and mercenaries." Wesker pointed to the map and analyzed it carefully.

"So where do you think Yoda's troops will attack the northern part of the forest now? After all, we have captured so many noble prisoners." John asked Wesker for his opinion.

"Currently Yoda's attack methods have three major directions, attacking from the east, the south, or from the northern ocean. Among them, the attack from the south is impossible unless Yoda wins a great victory in the south. It is also unlikely to attack from the north due to the sea ice produced in winter, so our defense in winter focuses on the east." Wesker made what he thought was a reasonable suggestion to John based on the current information.

Changing his tone, Wesker began to say: "But it won't be so good in the spring. A large-scale war will definitely break out between Yoda and Midland in the spring. If Yoda pays a little attention to the situation here, he will definitely send troops to attack in the spring. At that time, it is very likely that they will attack from land or sea."

John took over and said, "I have considered building a castle by the sea to strengthen the sea defense, but winter is coming soon, and I don't know if it can be completed."

"Don't worry, sir," Wesker said.

"We can first find a hill by the sea to build a simple military camp, and then build various facilities with the military camp as the center. As for the city wall, we can build the part facing the sea before winter, and then continue to build if the weather is good after winter, and stop construction if the weather is bad, and wait until next spring to build the remaining part. Yoda's navy is not as strong as Midland's, and it will take at least a month to assemble it," Wesker explained.

"Okay, during this period of time all construction workers will be concentrated on the seashore in the north of the forest. The castles in the north will quickly bring people to build as many houses as possible," John immediately gave the order.

"Soldiers on the border must step up patrols, as they may be attacked in winter," John said to Hank, who had been promoted to military chief.

After instructing his men on what to do, John hosted a banquet to entertain the generals, celebrating the initial victory in the war and expressing his gratitude for their hard work over the past few months.

After the banquet, John walked to a bed next to the hall and slowly fell asleep after the servant covered the bed with a gauze curtain.

That’s right, the castle hall in the Middle Ages was not only the place for the lord’s council, but also the place where the lord ate and slept.
