Berserk, Total War: Second Son of Nobles

A few days after Hanukkah, John returned to the forest territory without stopping and began to prepare for the landing.

"Yoda has built many fortresses on the islands around Grant, which will become an obstacle to our landing in Grant. However, there is not frequent communication between these fortresses. I think we should clean up these strongholds first and then consider the issue of landing." Wesker explained the current status of Yoda's garrison in the Grand Duchy of Grant to the generals in the castle and put forward his own ideas.

"But there is another point. The distances between some islands are relatively close. If it is not handled properly and other islands find out, the contract will be torn up, which will have an adverse impact on the entire war situation."

"Then we can use small boats to land on the island at night and attack their strongholds, and gradually erode their sphere of influence in the waters south of Grant," John suggested.

"We can first use a large ship to transport the soldiers to a place not far from the island at night when the wind and waves are light, and then send a small boat to the shore." After listening to this, Wesker thought about it and added his own ideas to the plan.

"Well, let the soldiers rest for a day. We must destroy all the Yoda fortresses in the southern waters of Grant tomorrow night."

An island in the southern waters of Grant

Since the Yoda army attacked Grant twenty years ago, in order to prevent Midlan from intervening, they specially built a large number of fortresses on the islands in the southern waters to guard against the attack of the Midlan navy.

However, they thought too much. Midland itself was in a state of anxiety due to the battlefield in the south, and there was no unified plan due to internal party struggles, so there was no intention of rescue at all. The Yoda people waited for twenty years but didn't even see a shadow, so they advanced all the way through Grant and fought near Nord, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Grant.

Grand Duke Grant had a sense of crisis from an early stage, and understood that only by becoming strong could he wait for rescue from his allies, so he built a large number of star-shaped fortresses equipped with cannons near the capital. The Yoda people were soon caught off guard and had no choice but to surround them without attacking.

So Emperor Yoda changed his plan. Since a strong attack didn't work, he decided to invade the island's residents' culture and ideas. So concentration camps were built on Grant Island overnight, and countless children were taken away from their parents and sent to concentration camps for so-called "civilization."

There, they have no personal freedom. In addition to various military trainings, they receive ideological education every day. The Yoda people instill in Grant's children words like "Emperor Yoda is your only God, and you must be loyal to Emperor Yoda." If anyone dares to disobey, then only the death penalty awaits them. Only when they reach the age of 16 and are confirmed by the Yoda people to have been reformed can they leave the concentration camp. Men generally join the army, and women are even worse off. Most of them become slaves of the Yoda people.

After decades of brainwashing by Yoda, these "civilized Yodas" are even more loyal than those Yodas. They rush forward in battle as if they are risking their lives. Even the Yodas think that they should be sent to the more brutal Midland battlefield.

Twenty years later, as more and more "civilized Yodas" joined the army, Emperor Yoda thought it was unnecessary to station so many troops in Grant, so he began to withdraw some of the Yoda troops. "Civilized Yodas" became Yoda's main force in Grant, including the garrison stationed on the island, most of whom were also "civilized Yodas".

"Ha~ I'm so sleepy." On the fortress, a young Yoda soldier yawned and said in Yoda language mixed with Grant's accent.

"Cheer up and don't look around, otherwise you will definitely be beaten if the officer comes out to check and finds you like this." said the older soldier next to him. Both of them were civilized Yodas who walked out of the concentration camp and were assigned to duty on the island.

"Sergeant, when can we go to bed?" The young soldier continued, as if he hadn't heard him.

"Just wait for the next team to arrive." The sergeant replied.

"Why don't those soldiers have to stand guard?" said the young soldier.

"Shh!" The sergeant covered his mouth with his hand, and when there was no one around, he said:

"You're asking for your life! Do you know how serious the crime of criticizing Yoda is?"

The young soldier asked doubtfully: "Aren't we Yoda people?"

"Silly child." The sergeant shook his head helplessly and continued:

"We are indeed Yoda people, but Yoda people are also divided into levels. Those foreign Yoda people are the first level, those of us who have just accepted Yoda culture are the second level, and those who have not accepted Yoda culture are the third level."

Seeing the young soldier's puzzled look, the sergeant did not explain and could only advise: "Just know that you should do whatever your superior tells you to do and don't contradict your superior."

"Oh," the young soldier nodded, not quite understanding, not noticing that while he was distracted, several dark shadows swam up from the shore.

Outside the fort, soldiers gradually landed and gathered behind the rocks outside the fort.

"Two people on the roof, four downstairs, four people at the bonfire next to it, and eight people in two patrol teams... Wow, based on the scale of this building, the entire base must have at least more than a hundred people." The centurion looked at the Yoda soldiers patrolling in the distance with binoculars in his hand, and muttered in his heart, but still ordered the soldiers:

"We'll proceed according to the plan. First, we'll take care of the few soldiers outside, then we'll change into their clothes and go in and kill all of these Yoda people."

So a ten-man assassination team, taking advantage of the cover of night, moved back and forth among the rocks and soon reached the vicinity of the fortress. When four Yoda soldiers came over, the soldiers immediately rushed up, covered the Yoda soldiers' mouths as trained, stabbed them in the neck, and dragged them into the pile of rocks in their final struggle.

Not long after, four soldiers changed into the clothes of Yoda soldiers and swaggered into the camp. The soldiers behind them also followed and dealt with the two soldiers guarding the gate.

After dealing with the Yoda soldiers on the periphery, the soldiers immediately waved to the hiding place of the main force. The centurion who had been observing them through a telescope immediately said to his soldiers:

"Everyone, we have succeeded over there. Follow me and go in quietly, then surround the buildings inside."

After hearing the order, the soldiers immediately followed the centurion to the outer wall of the camp under the cover of rocks.

The soldiers inside also reached the entrance of the fortress. Several soldiers wearing Yoda costumes immediately entered the fortress to assassinate the soldiers on top of the fortress without letting the Yoda soldiers notice.

"It's time to change the shift!" came a voice from downstairs.

"Sergeant, stop sleeping and change shifts." The young soldier shook the sleeping sergeant.

"Ah! Changing of guards? Then go downstairs and go back to sleep." After saying that, the two men were about to go downstairs to go back to sleep. As soon as they went down the stairs, they were killed by the soldiers who were ambushing there.

"The fortress has been cleared." The soldier who came down immediately reported to the captain.

"The soldiers near the campfire have also been dealt with."

"The patrolling soldiers have also been dealt with."

As all the soldiers on duty in the camp were dealt with, the squad leader decisively waved his hand to signal the centurion at the door to come in.

When the centurion saw the signal from the squad leader, he immediately led his soldiers into the houses in the camp, kicked open the doors, and killed anyone he saw.

The Yoda soldier in the room was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of kicking the door. Just as he wanted to see what happened, he was hacked to death by the soldiers who entered the room. Shouting and screaming continued to be heard from the room. After a while, all the Yoda soldiers in the camp were killed.
