Berserk, Total War: Second Son of Nobles

The next day, Count Milo, John and a group of people came to the Johnburg Hall to try the leader of the Forest Brothers for trafficking children.

But what John didn't expect was that the second prince of Barden was also present. This was the first time John met the second prince. To be honest, John felt that the second prince in front of him was basically a normal person who was a little handsome, but his hair was brown, and his skin was obviously as white and tender as a woman's after being pampered for more than 20 years. As he got closer and closer, there was a very strong and nauseating perfume smell, which made John take several steps back.

Count Milo saw that almost everyone was present, so he announced: "The trial of this case is officially open." Military musicians on both sides blew their trumpets, making long sounds, marking the beginning of the trial.

"First, Governor John Hohenzollern, you are accusing the Forest Brothers under Prince Balden II of trafficking people in your territory, right?" asked Count Milo.

"Yes, my lord, I have brought witnesses," John replied. He brought the boy's parents and several other mercenary group leaders to John Castle.

After listening to the testimonies of various witnesses, Count Milo asked the leader of the Forest Brothers, "Do you have anything to say in your defense?"

When the leader of the Forest Brotherhood heard that it was his turn to answer, he quickly said, "Sir, I am doing this on the orders of Prince Balden II. It is my mission to recruit followers and collect supplies for Prince Balden II. I have done the same thing in other noble territories before."

Count Milo thought to himself, what nonsense! In other territories, you only bullied their lords because they were timid and had no strength. Try doing that in the west or the territories near the royal capital. Now you’ve run into a tough guy and you’re begging for mercy.

So he turned to John and said, "Governor John, do you have anything to say?"

John then asked: "You said you were doing this under the order of Prince Balden II, so do you have any official documents or letters written by Prince Balden II?"

"I..." The leader of the Forest Brotherhood thought to himself that he didn't have any. At that time, the Second Prince of Barden told him that he needed his help to provide him with various living supplies before the Second Prince's family arrived in Barden. After arriving in Barden, he gave him the title and territory but did not give him any official documents to prove it. So the leader of the Forest Brotherhood hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything.

"That's it," said Count Milo.

"Then the verdict is as follows: The leader of the Forest Brothers has committed crimes such as human trafficking, rioting, riding a horse, armed rioting, and attacking the army in the territory of Forest Governor John Hohenzollern. The leader of the Forest Brothers is sentenced to beheaded in public, and the rest of the Forest Brothers mercenaries are sentenced to labor until the war in the spring. This cannot be changed."

The leader of the Forest Brotherhood was shocked after hearing this. This was not what he thought, and he quickly said: "I am a noble appointed by Prince Balden II. You can't judge me like this." Then he continued to kowtow to Prince Balden II: "Second Prince, please say something!" In his opinion, as long as Prince Balden II speaks, everything will be fine.

Then John followed everyone's gaze and looked at Prince Balden II. After all, he, the mastermind behind the scenes, had never spoken a word from beginning to end. John understood at this time that Prince Balden II was a homosexual. He captured a little boy in his own territory, just like the Governor of Dordore Castle. This made John feel even more disgusted.

Prince Balden II saw that everyone was looking at him, so he thought for a while and said to John: "Is this the only way to solve this problem?"

John responded: "If you don't want your family's honor to suffer any loss, then this is the only way to solve it." He implied that if he wanted to intervene, he would stick with him to the end.

So the second prince looked at everyone and said, "I don't know, he just said it casually." Then he walked out.

Thus, the charge was established and the guillotine was ready that day. It was the same model as that of Louis XVI. The leader of the Forest Brothers was gagged and sent directly to the guillotine. In addition to the noble soldiers who were handling the affairs, there were also many nearby residents at the scene. After all, beheading was a new thing in Johannesburg.

With the executioner's order, the executioner cut the rope and the semi-automatic guillotine started directly. The leader of the Forest Brothers would no longer be troubled by years of headaches.

At this time, John said to the residents: "My fellow citizens, I promise you that if anyone dares to offend our territory, you can use any means to protect yourself from being violated. I will definitely punish the invaders severely. If one comes, I will kill one. If two come, I will kill a pair!"
