Berserk, Total War: Second Son of Nobles

So under the command of Commander Yoda, the soldiers came out of the castle one by one, laid down their weapons at the designated location, and then squatted in another large open space, waiting for the next instructions.

John immediately found Yoda's commander.

"Let me ask you, where is the castle where the Midlan nobles and officers are imprisoned?" John asked.

"If I remember correctly, it seems to be in Count Kesong's territory." Commander Yoda replied.

"Okay, take a thousand soldiers to escort these prisoners back first, and the rest of you follow me!" John rode on his horse and led the soldiers towards Count Kosong's territory.

As soon as he entered Count Cosong's territory, John felt something was wrong. It was too quiet. Even if some of the people had been conscripted away, the rest should have gone out to work in the fields. Why was there no one there?

After passing a village, John saw that there was not a single person in the entire village. The scene was looting everywhere. The houses were almost all burned down to a frame, and almost everything inside was gone. The entire field also had various signs of burning, but what was puzzling was that there were basically no human bodies here, as if they had been taken away long ago.

"Who is it?" At this moment, a soldier found a man coming out of the tunnel behind the water tank in the house. The man looked at the soldier and immediately said, "I want to find Governor John. I have something important to report."

Then he was brought in front of John. He was covered in dust and dirt, as if he had been in the tunnel for an unknown amount of time.

"What can I do for you?" John asked.

"I'm the liaison sent by the commander. We're here to tell you that we've surrounded Count Kesong's castle and blocked the castle's tunnels. Please quickly capture Count Kesong, otherwise he might break out of the city and we might not be able to hold on."

"What's the situation in this village?" asked John.

"We have notified the villagers to evacuate after the battle. Since the defeat, Count Kesong has been looting everywhere with his soldiers, even his own territory. It is obvious that he is planning to return to Yoda." said the liaison officer, then looked at John's face and thought for a moment before saying.

"Your uncle Jules is also in the Count of Corson's castle. Because he is a nobleman, he has not been abused and does not have to do any manual labor."

"Then take me to Count Kesong's castle!" John quickly found him a horse and asked him to lead the way to Count Kesong's castle.

Château de Cosson

"Be gentle, ouch... be gentle," Jules said with gritted teeth to a person who was changing the bandage on his shoulder wound.

"My noble lord, your wound has already healed and there is no wound anymore. Let's change the medicine this time so that it can heal faster and not end up like this." The doctor in charge of changing the medicine said to him. Fortunately, Jules was wounded by an arrow. If he had any disease, the person who came would not be a doctor, but a barber who would come to bleed him.

"Jules, you were so ruthless to kidnap Count Cozon, but how come you can't even bear this kind of pain?" asked a nobleman nearby.

"Oh, I was drunk at that time. I don't know what I did when I was drunk." Jules said. He didn't know why he could make a plan to rescue Count Milo that day, and he didn't know why he went to resist the Yoda people alone. He was shot by an arrow and was thrown into the dungeon when he woke up.

"It's time to eat, my noble lords."

At this time, the voices of guards were heard at the door. As nobles, they would be treated preferentially, and this was the case in the entire aristocratic circle (John's beating of Adam was an exception).

Then someone will carry a basket of food and put it in the room, and take it back after the time comes.

The person who delivered the food put the basket in the room as usual and left.

"Let me see what's for today's meal?" A nobleman couldn't wait to open the basket. There were many plywood in the basket. In addition to increasing the amount of food, it could also fix certain dishes so that they would not spill out.

"There are lamb chops...mushroom soup...it's pretty good today. Let me take a look at the last layer, what is this...shit!" The noble was almost shocked when he saw it. The noble next to him covered the noble's mouth and then closed the lid because at the bottom of the basket, there was a bunch of keys and several daggers.

Jules also noticed the difference this time. It was obvious that the people outside wanted them to go out on their own, so something must have happened outside. Because Jules and his men were in a dungeon, basically no news could reach them in the past few days.

"Hurry up, everyone, leave two people to guard the gate, and the rest follow me." At this time, there were loud noises and a lot of running sounds coming from outside. The guards guarding them also went out. Only then did they dare to speak.

"What should we do? Should we run away?" said a noble. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"Let me take a look later," Jules said, and took the key. There were several keys on it, and each key had a number. John found the button with the number of his room, turned it a few times, and the lock opened. But Jules did not open the door directly. Instead, he asked the people in the room to put out the candle and open a small gap. He looked outside and saw that there was only someone at the stairs above, and then he made a battle plan with the people in the house.

"Haha..." A Barden rebel soldier yawned, and then said to another person:

"We are surrounded now, how long can we hold out?"

Another rebel soldier said: "How should I know? If you ask me, who should I ask? If the situation is not right, I can just take off my clothes and run away. It's a pity to lose my job."

Just after the two soldiers were chatting, a door suddenly opened, and Jules came out with a basket.

"Stop! How did you get out?" The rebel soldiers immediately drew their swords and pointed them at Jules after seeing this.

"How did I get out? Ask him what happened. He lost the card game with us and just left. He didn't let us take the basket away and didn't lock the door. We had to empty the door ourselves," Jules said to them angrily.

"Ah, these guys are really causing trouble for us." A rebel soldier saw that Jules only had a lunch box in his hand and followed another soldier to carry the basket. Because the basket was quite heavy, the two soldiers each carried it with one hand.

At this moment, Jules quickly pulled out the dagger tied to his waist and stabbed a soldier directly in the neck. Another one saw it and was about to let go, but because of his unstable center of balance, in panic, another noble pointed the dagger at his neck and stabbed him.

In this way, the two rebels died instantly. At the other end, the nobles took the key and opened the door for them one by one. When the nobles saw the door open, they thought someone came to get the basket, but it turned out to be their colleagues. When they learned that they were preparing to fight, some were afraid, but some wanted to give it a try.

Jules put on the rebels' weapons and equipment and prepared to continue to attack a few more. When he came to the ground, he saw a rebel holding a crossbow coming towards him.

When Yule saw this, he thought, here comes the handy one, so he cut it with a knife, and got a crossbow.

The nobles of Midland also took some things they had stolen from somewhere and occupied the kitchen. Because they could not defeat the enemy in the armory, they took some chopping boards and kitchen knives from the kitchen as weapons.

At this time, Jules saw a bottle of wine in the kitchen. Seeing that there was no one else around, he started drinking it.

"Jules, stop drinking. We have to go out soon. What if you are too drunk to walk?" asked a Midland nobleman.

"You...don't mind me, I'll be out right away." After finishing the bottle of wine, Jules walked out of the kitchen with a long sword in his left hand and a crossbow in his right hand, shouting:

"Long live Mitland!"
