Berserk, Total War: Second Son of Nobles

In the newly built castle, Envoy Yoda was tied to a chair, opposite Charlie and Hank who were interrogating him.

"Yoda, where are you from!" Charlie spoke first with his loud voice, scaring the Yoda envoy.

"I am a noble of Yoda. You can't treat me like this. Where is the noble spirit of Midland? Fight me one-on-one," Yoda's envoy said angrily to Charlie.

"Noble, what noble noble would ride a horse in someone else's territory in the middle of the night? He is clearly a spy!" Charlie rejected it outright, and Envoy Yoda explained:

"My ancestor was Marshal Yoda. He fought for the late emperor and laid the foundation for Yoda's territory..."

"Alright, alright, we force you like this just to know the purpose of your coming here. There is an old saying in this continent: He who knows the times is a hero. If you cooperate with us, we will not treat you unfairly." At this time, Hank said in a kind voice to make the envoy less angry, but the envoy said nothing and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

"Hey, this Yoda guy is really stubborn. In my opinion, just bury him alive. Anyway, he is walking here, which obviously means Yoda wants to do something here. We just need to make preparations here and wait for Yoda's troops to arrive. Don't waste time talking to this Yoda guy." Charlie became anxious when he saw this, and directly ordered to bury Yoda's envoy alive, which made the envoy break out in a cold sweat.

Hank glanced at the Yoda envoy, and then said slowly: "It seems that we have guessed almost everything. It is very likely that Yoda wants to do something to the West Balden area. Even if you don't say it, we will be on guard. But if you tell us, it can be used as a token of your loyalty. Maybe Governor John can even give you some merit rewards so that you don't die in obscurity."

Upon hearing this, Envoy Yoda gritted his teeth and replied: "Our family is one of the oldest families that followed His Majesty the Emperor. How can we destroy our family's honor and loyalty just because of your words!"

"No, no, no. Sometimes you can't keep things just because you want to. Let me ask you, what's your ranking in your family?" Hank first rejected him and then asked.

"I am the only male in my family, so what?" Envoy Yoda did not hide it.

"That's obvious. You are the only male in the family, and Emperor Yoda sent you to do such a menial job. This shows that your family must have fallen into decline, and your emperor doesn't care about the old friendship between your family and just wants you to be of greater use." Hank expressed his guess based on the existing information.

"You're talking nonsense, how could this be possible!" Special Envoy Yoda knew roughly what his current status was, but he still didn't want to believe this fact.

"Hey, you're in this state, why are you still showing off? Hank, listen to me, don't waste time talking to him, just bury him. Instead of wasting time talking to him, you might as well go and notify the soldiers to strengthen patrols." Charlie was impatient again this time and directly proposed his solution to Hank.

"I told you to read some books, why didn't you listen? You're still acting like a robber. How can you become a noble if you keep acting like this?" Hank first retorted to Charlie, and then continued to say to the envoy: "Then I have to ask, according to my information, I heard that Yoda's commander-in-chief this time is a man named Adam or something, but as far as I know, he doesn't have a good reputation among you. I'm very curious about how he became a general." Hank did not continue to lead the conversation to him, but shifted the focus to Yoda's commander-in-chief.

"General Adam's family, like my family, are both founding heroes of Yoda..." The envoy talked incessantly about the history of Adam's family. The more he spoke, the straighter his body became, as if Adam's family was his own family.

"Really? That's a problem. Why doesn't the emperor want to employ a smart and loyal minister like you, but instead uses a fool as commander?" At this time Hank suddenly asked a sharp question, and for a moment Yoda's envoy didn't know what to say.

"You don't want to tell me? Okay, I'll tell you. Adam's family is very important in the Yoda Empire. Your emperor gave him the position of general in order to win him over!" Hank explained the reason in one sentence.

"Look, the Emperor of Yoda doesn't care whether you are loyal or smart. As long as you have enough power in the Yoda Empire, the Emperor will win you over and give you the position of general! If Adam is defeated, he will put all the blame on you. Do you think that the Emperor will listen to Adam or a nobody like you in order to win him over?" Hank continued to add fuel to the fire, causing the envoy to clench his hands and his eyes to turn red, as if he had remembered a lot of bad things.

Seeing that the situation was hot enough, Hank said in an inducing tone: "But our Governor John is different. Apart from other things, as of now, our Lord John, as the new governor directly under the royal family, must have great power. Secondly, he has a vast territory (all forests), so it is easy to settle a noble. Finally, our Governor John is in need of people now. At this time, if you turn your back on us and surrender with courtesy, plus we recommend you, then you will definitely be one of the governor's confidants in the future."

Just as the envoy was wavering, Hank's last words became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Since you cannot be as glorious as your ancestors in Yoda, why not find another wise master and rewrite the legend of your family."

Hank left the tent, and Charlie followed. When they were far away from the tent, Charlie looked around and said, "Do you think he can tell that we are singing a duet?"

"So what if he heard it?" Hank smiled and said, "Isn't what I said the truth? Believe me, he will admit it in a while."

……

At night, the forces of the Yoda Empire were heading north from the land of Mitlan towards Xibaldon.

In the center of the army, Yoda's commander Adam (according to the current timeline, he is Riyad's father in the main storyline) is boasting to his men about his brilliant strategy.

"Stupid Midlanders, I knew they moved their main force to the southern battlefield, so I asked people to scout the north early on. As expected, there were basically no other troops except the troops of the Forest Governor." Adam said proudly.

"Then General, why don't we directly attack the heartland of Midland, but go to West Balden instead? Aren't there more defenders there?" At this time, one of his subordinates raised a question.

"Idiot, our mission is to assist the third prince of Balden in seizing the throne. The battlefield in Midlan will be handled by others. Don't make things worse and cause the final mission to fail. Those soldiers in West Balden will never have thought that our Yoda's troops will attack from the land of Midlan. This is the lightning tactic used by my ancestors." General Adam mocked Midlan while boasting about the tactics that his family had passed down for hundreds of years.

"Once we reach the southern part of West Balden, we'll wait for Eugene to bring back the information, and then we'll attack, catching the Midlanders off guard, and then we'll attack Binsey directly. This time I've brought enough cannons, and then we'll let the Midlanders experience the power of the Yoda Empire's cannons." General Adam has already imagined himself reaching Binsey.

"Report! Something terrible has happened!" At this time a cavalryman came to report.

"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you so impatient?" General Adam said nonchalantly.

"There is a castle blocking our army's way." The cavalry told General Adam what he saw.

"What? Didn't the intelligence say that this is a vast plain with an unobstructed view? How come a castle suddenly appeared?" General Adam didn't believe it, but he still went to see whether it was true or not.

A stone castle standing on the plain blocked the way of Yoda's troops. It was not very large, but it had everything. Soldiers on the wall aimed their bows and crossbows at Yoda's troops.

General Adam still didn't believe it and wanted to get closer to see it, but his men stopped him: "No, if you get any closer, you'll be out of the enemy's range."

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from the castle: "Hey, hey... Can the brothers of Yoda over there hear me?"

"I am General Adam of Yoda. Who are you? How dare you block our army's way?" General Adam asked hurriedly.

"Oh General Adam," the voice on the wall paused, and then said something that shocked Adam:

"Our Lord John has made us wait for you here for a long time!"
