Berserk, Total War: Second Son of Nobles

Simon chose a three-masted sailing ship with 50 cannons because it was the largest ship that the entire shipyard could build.

"My Lord Mayor, your shipyard is so large and you have so many craftsmen, why don't you build bigger ships?" Simon asked.

"You don't know that my shipyard is a private business. According to the law, private shipyards will be restricted to different levels. The higher the level of the shipyard, the bigger the ships built. Mine is already the highest level shipyard and can only build ships this big." The city lord spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Okay, then this one. Give me two of the 36-gun ones over there and three of the 20-gun ones." Simon thought about it and decided to get this many ships first and place more orders if they are not enough.

Upon hearing that a large order had come in, the city lord quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll ask someone to bring out the ships and arrange for you to use a few of the newly built ships. The total is gold coins, so the 200 gold coins will be waived."

"Sure," Simon replied. 200 gold coins are still money, so it's better to save them if possible. He ordered the sailors to go to the designated warship to familiarize themselves with it.

In view of the good business today, the city lord directly dispatched six captains to help Simon drive the ship back to the port, and also asked the local navy to send warships to escort him.

"Have a safe journey!"

With the farewell of the city lord, Simon and his men boarded the warship and headed towards the port of Forest Territory under the escort of the navy.

John was not idle either. He discovered that since he became the leader of the White Wolf Knights, the entire order had no regular organization, no uniform armor, no base, and even no flag.

What are you waiting for? Get started right away.

The first thing is the flag. This is simple. According to the flags of other knights, it is basically a blue background with a white animal. John followed suit and simply printed a roaring white wolf head on the blue flag to make it more powerful.

The second thing is the armor. No one knows how the armor of the knights in Berserk is so fancy. John plans to change the helmet into the shape of a wolf's head. The blacksmiths looked at the new work of their lord and said that they could make it, but they would have to wait a month to build the mold, and then they would have to reselect the materials to make it.

Then, John planned to put all his 2000 heavy cavalry into the White Wolf Knights, and draw 1000 light cavalry as auxiliary, as well as 1000 infantry, and 1000 crossbowmen to form a knightly order of 5000 people, which is equivalent to the number of people in the normal Eagle Order in its heyday.

So the Knights Templar currently has two vacancies for the position of thousand captains, but there are 20 centurions who all want to compete for this position.

"That's easy. The White Wolf Knights must not only be able to command battles, but also have strong physiques and superb martial arts. Let these centurions fight, and then select the last two remaining to be thousand-man commanders."

Thus, the first competition in the Forest Territory began hastily.

As the incident happened suddenly, a large open space was cordoned off and several platforms were built around it.

Countless people flocked to the arena to see who would win. Of course, those who wanted to go in and watch had to pay for tickets, one silver coin per person, half price for children, and two silver coins to go up to the platform to watch.

The battle adopts a melee mode. You can form a team or fight alone. The last two people left will be the centurions.

All centurions wore uniform armor and wooden weapons for training to prevent accidental injuries.

"All participants, please choose your positions. The competition will begin in 5 minutes."

After hearing this, the centurions quickly took up their weapons and chose a position that was advantageous to them. For a moment, the entire arena was silent, and everyone was waiting for the game to begin.

"Game start!"

As the horn sounded, the entire arena began to boil. Shouts and the sound of slashing echoed in the arena. Everyone wanted to see how skilled these centurions were.

One of the centurions was targeted by three other centurions and forced into a corner.

"Hey, you guys, I didn't pay for your meal with me that time, so why are you so heartless when we should be showing friendship?" said the centurion who was forced into a corner.

"Brother, if it's anything else I definitely won't bother you, but now we have to fight for this centurion. We'll pay for your meals in the future. Sorry." After saying that, the three men rushed towards the centurion.

The centurion took one look and picked up his spear, stabbing the three men's vital points at a speed that no one could see. When they were in pain and unable to fight back, he simply hit them on the waist with the spear. The three men completely lost their fighting ability and fell to the ground.

At the other end of the arena, a big man didn't even use any weapons. He grabbed the opponent's weapon with his big hands, swung it hard, and threw the weapon directly out of the opponent's hand. Then he grabbed one with each hand and threw it aside, instantly losing his combat effectiveness.

The game was still going on, and because there were so many people watching, some vendors appeared on the side of the arena. Some vendors even took their wares to sell in the crowd.

"Ham, pickled sausage, beer~"

"Hey, look at those freshly baked muffins!"

"Please make way."

There are even people out there betting on which Centurion will make the cut.

"I think the big guy and the one with the spear will definitely win."

"Not necessarily. These guys are all one-on-many. They might be able to turn the tables when their strength runs out."

"I don't think so. To be able to be a member of Lord John's Knights, how can one's physical strength be bad? I guess it will be them by then."

"Then I'll put pressure on them both."

"I press too."

John was also very excited watching the battle in the arena below the stage. To be honest, he also wanted to test his current strength. After the blessing of two Behelet, John not only strengthened his body, but also improved his personal reaction ability and memory. For example, his learning ability, he felt that if he went back to school to study, he would probably be at the level of a top student.

Time passed little by little, and the game gradually came to an end. As the centurions fell one by one and were carried away, the last two people stood on the arena. They were indeed the giant and the two centurions with spears.

Just as both sides were ready to fight again, John quickly said:

"Stop! Stop fighting! I declare that you two are the new centurions and will be conferred the title of baron."

The two centurions immediately knelt on one knee to accept John's canonization.

With applause from all around, this competition ended successfully.

"My goodness, five fractures, six bruises, and the rest are basically suffering from sore limbs. A competitive competition has destroyed most of my Centurions?" John took a look at the report after the game and couldn't help but gasp.

"It seems I have to take it easy next time."
