Berserk, Total War: Second Son of Nobles

Just as everyone was about to lift up the monster's corpse, they discovered that the monster's corpse had turned into that of an adult male. Its head was gone due to too many arrows, and its body was basically covered with wounds and arrows, leaving everyone at a loss.

John suddenly had an idea, raised his hands and said: "The devil has already eroded his soul. Soldiers, you killed the devil, and everyone can go to heaven in the future!"

Immediately, everyone’s morale was boosted. Going to heaven was the ultimate wish of ordinary people in this era.

So John returned to the castle to sleep, and the story of John slaying demons spread from one person to another in the forest, causing John to be known as the chosen one of Warhammer next door.

A few days later, John received a letter from General Conseil (the general who went south to fight Yoda in the previous chapters. It was also he who appointed John as the official in the Forest Territory, in case the readers have forgotten) and intelligence from Wesker. It has been confirmed that the Kingdom of Midland is also going to get involved with the Kingdom of Balden, and General Conseil recommended John to the king to help the Second Prince of Balden and the Midland Intervention Army seize the throne. In addition, the Second Prince must be stationed in the Forest Territory before the war starts in the spring, and the logistical subsidies will be borne by the royal family and local officials.

As for the army, the Midland royal family sent 1 people, the various noble coalition forces sent 1 people, and there were more than 5000 mercenaries. In addition, the forest had to lead 5000 people, both for transportation and soldiers.

Therefore, the baggage and housing issues were put in the first place. The first thing to consider was where they would live. The Midland army would arrive in a month, and the nobles would definitely live in the castle, so the castle had to be expanded first. John arranged for the other soldiers to build houses in the eastern part of the forest territory, so that the soldiers could enter the territory of Balden in a very short time as soon as spring arrived. And a camp had to be planned for the mercenaries. As for the housing issue, John had worked in the army for a few months and knew that mercenaries could bring their own tents. As for wind and rain, they had to find a place to live by themselves. Oh, by the way, an inn was built next to the camp, and some food and drinks could be sold to the soldiers in the camp to make a profit.

Regarding the baggage problem, John, with his high emotional intelligence, divided it into open source and interception. To put it bluntly, it is buying and robbing. Open your own source and intercept other people's flow. As for who to rob in this cold weather, you certainly can't count on that group of Yoda Lords, but you can rob the baggage team.

Yoda would never have imagined that there were young people who had no martial ethics and launched a sneak attack in winter, and they would have to bear the consequences.

So the entire territory began to get busy again, starting a new round of large-scale infrastructure construction. In addition to building military camps, each village and town also had to build defensive measures. Because there were mercenaries in the army, mercenaries now basically had no moral bottom line. Except for helping you distract attention during wars, they were basically a scourge at other times. After occupying the city, many generals asked the mercenaries to go out of the city to collect their money. Those who did not go out of the city would be killed. This was because they were afraid that these mercenaries would do evil here and increase the residents' disgust with the army. From this point of view, Griffith's Eagle Corps can be regarded as a clear stream among the mercenaries.

In addition to the major infrastructure, John also went to see the captured Yoda nobles. Some of them had been redeemed by their families, while the rest, either because they had no money or had been abandoned, had no one to claim them. They were in poor spirits, and John needed to take them out for a walk more often. After all, if they really died here, you couldn't explain it. Although killing nobles a few decades ago would only increase your notoriety, there was no need to do so as it would not be worth the loss. Their noble blood and identity were their most valuable assets.
