Berserk, Total War: Second Son of Nobles

John walked out of his tent and went to another big tent, where the nobles held meetings. Sometimes they were allowed to sit in as observers. After all, they still had noble blood flowing in their veins, and if there was an opportunity someday, they would be promoted.

Seeing that most people had arrived, the leading noble, General Count Conseil, said: "According to intelligence, the shameful Yoda Empire did not abide by the agreement and wantonly massacred the captured nobles." After a pause, Conseil glanced at the expressions of the nobles. Some were shocked, some were sad, and some were gloating. This was not strange. After all, some of them were second sons. In this war, the eldest sons of the nobles often went to the battlefield in person for their merits. If they died, the inheritance of the titles and territories would be given to the second sons.

After a cough, Conseil continued: "Since most of the officers have left and there is a shortage of manpower, I plan to send some people to various places to recruit soldiers. We will recruit as many as possible. The Midland Kingdom is not short of money." However, in the surprised eyes of everyone, Conseil said sternly: "Any of you who dares to recruit those unqualified vagrants and beggars and waste my time, or withhold military pay and cause a mutiny, in a word, beheaded." Faced with the threat of death, everyone put away their thoughts, but John was even happier when he heard it. Isn't this an opportunity?

In terms of people, who can compare with the system in terms of number of people? How much money can determine how many people can be recruited? In terms of quality, as long as the money is enough, the quality will definitely be high. Of course, John dare not hire those who are particularly strong. What if you bring people back and others see that they are, "Oh, your new recruit comes with armor, right?" John cannot explain it clearly.

So, John and some other people volunteered, took the 50 gold coins given to them, and went out to recruit people. As for the rest, either they had enough money, or they received letters from home and went back to inherit the territory.

Once outside, John opened the panel and chose to hire

Hire: Depending on the environment and culture of the player's location, the types of soldiers that can be recruited are also different.

Environment: Temperate vegetation area Culture: Western European culture

Migrant group: 200 people 1 gold coin Maintenance cost 1 gold coin

Thieves' Group: 200 people 3 gold coins Maintenance cost 1 gold coin

Wandering Knight: 40 people 20 gold coins Maintenance cost 5 gold coins

Rogue Knight: 50 people 10 gold coins Maintenance cost 3 gold coins

……

"First of all, these cavalrymen cannot be recruited at long range. They are too elite and look suspicious at first glance. Although the refugee group has a large number of people, they are too weak." John chose for a long time and felt that he could only choose the thieves group. As he chose to recruit, a group of people suddenly appeared from a distance.

As they got closer and closer to John, these people gradually revealed their appearance. Some of them wore armor that they didn't know where they came from, some wore colorful clothes made of various cloths, some had their faces wrapped in cloth and couldn't see clearly, and their weapons were also varied. In addition to swords, bows and crossbows, some also carried meteor hammers and axes. Some of them had scars on their faces, some had pockmarks, and some had beards. In general, they were similar to the robbers in ordinary movies and TV dramas.

When they were very close to John, someone in the crowd suddenly said, "Hello, Big Brother!" Instantly, a bunch of words like Big Brother and Boss flooded into John's ears.

"Stop, stop, stop!" John hurriedly asked them to stop flattering. When the crowd quieted down, John asked them, "How did you know I was here?" One of the thieves said, "I heard that you were recruiting soldiers here. Everyone knows that you are a good person, so they all want to come down the mountain and join you in the fight."

"It seems that the system has set the worldview for these people," John thought.

"Okay then, just follow me." John said, and then he led this group of people forward. There was still a lot of time left before the deadline to return to the camp, and John also wanted to try out what kind of troops were like in other terrains.

It took them three days to walk, during which time John could only recruit a few types of soldiers. Occasionally, a new type of soldier would appear, but they were either too rubbish or too elite. There was a team of archers, but they were still pagans, and if they were discovered by the French King's Office, they would be burned at the stake.

So John recruited two more teams of thieves in the system, and together with the previous 600 people, they returned to the base camp in a mighty manner. On the way back to the camp, more than a dozen thieves with musical instruments formed a band. Apart from the martial arts, these thieves had good other skills. There were those who could set up camp and make tents, there were cooks who could cook, and there were also those who could make siege vehicles.

So amid the music and fanfare, John led his troops back to the base camp.
