Berserk, Total War: Second Son of Nobles

After John dealt with the mercenary issue, both Midland and the mercenaries in the territory became much more stable. Many mercenary group leaders even wrote to John asking if he could recruit people in the territory as mercenaries, but they were all rejected by John.

A week later, John met Simon and Charlie who had returned. Simon immediately took John to see the two cannons and the artillerymen.

"Where are you from?" John asked, because he found that the attire of these artillerymen was obviously biased towards southern countries.

"Sir, we are from the Kingdom of Faris. We were captured and brought to Provins during the war with Nice, and Lord Simon bought us." said the leading artilleryman.

"What's your name?" John continued to ask.

"My name is Stephen. Before I was captured, I was an artillery officer of a noble family in the Kingdom of Faris," said Stephen.

"So from now on, you are the commander of my artillery unit. I will also pay the salaries of your troops. I hope you can help me train excellent artillerymen. At the same time, if possible, I will take care of your family when I have time." John gave his remuneration.

"Thank you, sir. We will do our best to help you." Stephen and his artillerymen were very grateful.

At this moment, John also received a system prompt.

"The system has detected that it has received new world elements. The following updates are made based on the new elements."

"Open Medieval 2 Total War Attila 1212 Gunpowder Unit Building Recruitment and Hire"

"Added Medieval 2 Total War Easy HTB module troop acquisition tasks"

So John returned to the castle and looked carefully at the new task.

Mission: Gunpowder Road

Requirements: Organize an artillery unit yourself (1/1)

Form a musket unit yourself (0/1)

Own your own de jure territory (0/1)

Reward: Medieval 2 Total War THB Army Recruitment

John discovered that apart from needing a team of musket troops, this forest territory system was not recognized and did not belong to the legal territory. In other words, the forest territory must be recognized by some kind of authority to be considered a legal territory. Now John is the governor of the forest, but the territory belongs to the Midland royal family, so the ownership of the territory is not in his hands.

John then thought: "It seems that he must establish merit in the war in Balden and get a legal territory from Midland. He has to fight this war even if he doesn't want to."

Then he opened the hiring interface and found the option to hire musketeers, but considering the cost of 1400, John decided not to consider it for the time being.

The next day he found Stephen and asked about the situation of the gunpowder troops in the southern countries.

Stephen replied based on his own experience: "Currently, countries in the south use artillery units as siege forces, and occasionally use them in naval battles to sink enemy ships, but there is no new news about the invention of artillery."

So John can only recruit musket troops according to the Medieval 2 system. First, he needs to build a more advanced barracks, and then he needs an alchemy laboratory, so that he can build musket troops. However, this requires more money, so John decided to build advanced barracks and blacksmith shops first to improve the attack and defense capabilities of his infantry.

"This time, I unlocked the gunpowder troops because I triggered the artillery. If I find something related to the Netherworld next time, I can unlock the magic troops..."
