Berserk, Total War: Second Son of Nobles

"it is good!"

A day later, when Grand Duke Haakon of Grant, who was far away in Nord, received the news that Midland had captured Chusta, he was overjoyed. The reinforcements he had been waiting for for 20 years had finally arrived.

The white-haired General Kirston stepped forward and asked for orders:

"Sir, please let my troops act as the vanguard to rescue the people who have been harmed by the Yoda people."

After hearing this, Grand Duke Haakon shook his head and continued, "Now is not the right time. We have too few troops at the moment. Although Chusda has been occupied by Midlan, the Yoda forces on the island have not been reduced much. We still need to reconsider it."

Although Archduke Haakon appeared to be concerned about the soldiers, in his heart he was like other medieval nobles and looked down upon the civilians in his territory. He believed that these people were like weeds. If you killed a group, they would grow again. If there were too many of them, they would cause trouble, which was very annoying.

And most importantly, although he was the one who invited Mitland to the island, he was in crisis at that time and had no choice but to do so. Now that Mitland has captured Chusda, the balance of victory has tipped towards Grand Duke Haakon. Naturally, he will not allow a Mitland army to be stationed on his territory, so he hopes to use the remaining Yuda forces to consume Mitland's military strength and then negotiate with Mitland.

General Kiersten was also surprised by what Grand Duke Haakon said, but he still advised: "My lord, I think we should take the initiative. Now that Chusda has fallen, the Yoda people have no unified command and will inevitably be in chaos. So now is the only chance to recover the lost territory..."

Listening to General Kirsten's long speech, Archduke Haakon seemed a little impatient, but he could not interrupt General Kirsten. The old man had been a general since the time of Haakon's father and had a high prestige in the army.

"I'll give you 5,000 men. If you encounter Yoda's large army and cannot defeat it, retreat immediately." Grand Duke Haakon thought about it and decided to give Kierston an army to recover the lost territory.

"How can this be possible? Let Grandpa go to war with so few soldiers..."

That night, in a mansion somewhere in Nord, a slender girl with a slim figure and slender limbs, like an elf, spoke indignantly to Kierston. If you look closely at the girl's face, you will find that the girl's eyes are only looking at Kierston's position, and there is no face-to-face communication.

Looking at his blind granddaughter, Kirston touched her head and responded lovingly: "Benny, Grandpa was the second most powerful general in Grant. He will definitely come back safely."

As a result, he was dissuaded by Beni again: "You are not in your thirties or forties now, you are almost seventy years old, and grandpa, you are actually a little nervous."

Kirsten also knew that his granddaughter possessed psychic powers. Although she was blind, she could use some unknown power to feel other people's inner emotions. Just as she said, Kirsten was also worried about the army with only 5,000 soldiers.

Since the Yoda people first landed twenty years ago, Kiersten has fought with them many times. Each time, the Yoda army would not be less than 10,000 people. In the Battle of Nord, Yoda sent at least more than 20,000 people and dozens of cannons.

Even though the Yodas shifted their attention to the Midland battlefield and began to withdraw their troops, based on the wars in recent years and the deployment of Yoda troops in various places, Kiersten conservatively estimated that there are still 10,000 Yodas left on the island, and there are tens of thousands of Yoda-supported puppet forces.

But after thinking for a while, Kiersten continued to say to Benny: "Don't worry, there are still the Mitlanders. As long as the Mitlanders land on the island, everything will be fine."

"As long as Grant sends troops, everything will be fine."

At night, John held a telescope and looked towards the direction of Nord. With the fall of Chusda, John's soldiers began to clean up the bodies of the enemy and our own troops. The enemy's bodies were burned on the spot, and the cremated bodies of our own were placed in jars and returned to the forest along with the wounded soldiers.

In this siege, more than 8700 Yoda people were killed, more than 3 were captured, more than 500 John's troops were killed, and more than 2000 were injured to varying degrees. This was mainly due to the sudden attack of the Yoda people during the siege and the subsequent street fighting that caused great losses.

Up to now, John has only about 4000 soldiers available to defend the city, and it is difficult for them to maintain law and order in Chusda.

The old and young, women, children, and prisoners of war of the Yoda people were detained in various warehouses at the docks. A very small number of nobles and senior officers were placed in the dungeon of the castle. Even if there was a riot, it would become a mess because there was no leader.

However, if they want to eliminate the Yoda forces on the entire island, these 4000 people alone are definitely not enough, but it is definitely not possible to dispatch them from the territory, because now even the soldiers in the territory are not enough. As the war between Mitlan and Yoda resumed, on the southern battlefield, the Yoda people continued to send more troops to the Doldore region.

The huge Yoda Empire seemed to have endless manpower. According to Wesker's report, there were more than 500,000 Yoda soldiers gathering in the Doldore area on the southern battlefield, a full 100,000 more than Mitlan.

Not only that, there is intelligence that the Yoda people are rebuilding their city near the Forest Territory, and the scale is beginning to expand. However, due to the harassment of the Forest Territory cavalry, the project is progressing slowly. But it also gives John a reminder that the Yoda people are beginning to pay attention to his home, and that Grant's war must be ended immediately.

So John opened the hiring panel again and began to look for soldiers that could be hired.

Environment: Cold coniferous forest area Culture: Nordic culture

Hired Brabant Cavalry: 40 people Recruitment cost: 700 gold coins Maintenance cost: 35 gold coins

Helsing Hunter: 120 people Recruitment fee: 300 gold coins Maintenance fee: 6 gold coins

Viking Raiders: 100 people Recruitment cost: 200 gold coins Maintenance cost: 5 gold coins

……

After changing the environment, the hiring fee was surprisingly much higher, but John still needed these people of the same culture to help him stabilize his land here.

That’s right, John has no intention of returning the city he has occupied. Otherwise, if the city he has conquered with great difficulty is taken back by Grant, then what is the point of John coming here?

So John had no choice but to bite the bullet and, despite the pressure of the fiscal spending red line, recruit 10 teams of Viking raiders, 10 teams of Helsingin hunters, and 5 teams of mercenary Brabant cavalry.

At the same time, John continued to order people to go back and tell Simon to transfer part of the food and grass to Chusda, and continue to requisition food and grass from Midland and East Balden areas.

John is going to explode.
