Berserk, Total War: Second Son of Nobles

In a Yoda concentration camp a few miles away from Qiusda, the concentration camp instructor "Giant" Abecassi gathered the teenagers on the playground and announced to them:

"Boys, the day before yesterday, the evil Mitlan people occupied Chusda, but the Mitlan people will not be proud for long!"

After that, Abecassi pointed at the teenagers and said, "You are all the chosen ones who have gone through layers of selection! Each of you can fight ten people at once! Tomorrow is the day for you to go to war! But I have a gift for you." As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten Yoda soldiers pushed a platform with wheels into the field. On the platform was a huge iron cage, covered with a thick cloth, making it difficult to see what was inside.

"I heard that Gurenberudo is invincible and unstoppable. The usual training can no longer satisfy him. Therefore, I specially found a merchant and bought a rare and exotic beast from the distant Kusha. Gurenberudo, please show your bravery before going to the expedition to boost the morale of the boys." Abecassi said to a red-haired boy in the crowd. The boy had an eye-catching red hair, a tall figure that did not match his age, and well-developed muscles on his limbs. He stood out among the teenagers.

Yoda's soldier pulled back the cloth, and it turned out that there was a huge, ferocious carnivorous beast trapped in the cage.

"Doesn't it look like a lion? The Kushans call it a tiger. I heard that it grew up eating human flesh."

What Abecassi said was true. The huge beast was furious, staring at the humans outside the cage with bloodshot pupils. It was more than three meters long and weighed about half a ton, as strong as a giant bear. When it opened its bloody mouth, saliva slowly flowed from between its teeth.

"You must be kidding me, going to fight this creature alone."

"It's obvious that he is going to die."

This is what most of the teenagers thought, because they knew that the boy named Grunberudo had been resisting the cultural brainwashing of the Yoda people for the past four years, but he was kept until today because of his outstanding performance in completing various training tasks, and even had two people serve him. It seemed that this time they wanted to kill him before the expedition to prevent any accidents.

"Grunberdo, I want you to duel with it right now. I won't give you any weapons, including bows and arrows. However, it's a bit too much to ask you to fight such a huge monster."

Abecassi continued: "So, I will make an exception and allow you to recruit some helpers. If anyone wants to kill the tiger with Gurenberudo, please sign up quickly." Abecassi looked at the people in the audience and said slowly. In his opinion, no one would help Gurenberudo at all. Any normal person would know that fighting such a creature would at most just give it a snack.

"Higel from the Johnson family signs up!" At this time, a little girl in the crowd raised her hand and said.

"There's really nothing we can do..." Seeing this, the boy next to the little girl also raised his hand and said:

"Edward of the Halverson family signed up!"

"Higel, Edward, why do you two want to participate? You will definitely die if you go up!" Gulenbeluo looked at the two of them and asked in confusion.

"The three of us are inseparable. It doesn't make sense that if one person suffers, the other two can just watch." Siegel said loudly.

"Since Sigurd has said so, if I don't go, you will all be dead by then, and I will be very lonely." Edward next to him said casually. He was the youngest son of Grand Duke Haakon. He was captured by the Yoda people because he went out to rob with Sigurd. The two were sent to Grunberudo to serve him.

But Gulenberudo didn't need anyone to take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation. On the contrary, because the two of them were of noble birth and could not live independently, Gulenberudo took several months to teach them to take care of themselves and become friends with them.

At this time, Edward seemed to have thought of something, and he knelt on one knee to Abecassi and said, "Sir, I ask you to give us some time to discuss the strategy and proceed in the evening."

"Oh?" Abecassi thought for a moment, then said in a false tone:

"Then let's do as you say and the battle will take place at sunset."

After the disbandment, Grunberdo grabbed Edward and said, "Do you really have a plan? If you can't complete it this time, you will die. Don't let me implicate you later."

Edward said with a confident expression: "Absolutely no problem, listen to me..."

At night, the playground was decorated like a fighting arena. Bonfires were placed on the walls, lighting up the center of the playground as bright as day. From the temporary spectator seats, one could have a panoramic view of the fighting arena.

Abecassi, his deputy, and the guards drank and had fun in the spectator seats, waiting for the duel to begin. The teenagers in the concentration camp were also allowed to watch the duel. They crowded in the corridor connecting the playground and the concentration camp, and peeked through the iron grilles to see every move on the fighting field.

At this time, Grunberudo, Shigeru and Edward were driven into the field by Yoda. As the gate closed, their only escape route was blocked. The tiger's iron cage was very close to them, but the three of them only had wooden swords for training.

"With just those wooden swords, you won't stand a chance of winning." Abecassi said in the stands, "So, I have also prepared a weapon for you that can kill the tiger!"

Yoda's soldiers looked at the weapon and then at Grunberdo and the others, and instantly burst into laughter.

The adjutant also laughed as he looked at the weapon and said, "The general is really something."

As Abecassi said, there was a huge war hammer lying on the side of the cage. The handle was about 1.3 meters long, and the hammer head was hammered from a whole piece of iron ore. One end was flat, and the other end was polished into a four-sided shape. Even an adult would have difficulty swinging this huge hammer, and even if these children were Grunberudo, they probably wouldn't be able to lift it.

Abecassi's intention was self-evident. He just wanted to see Gulenberudo's helpless and desperate expression as he guarded this heavy weapon. It would be boring if he let Gulenberudo fight with bare hands.

In moments of despair, a little bit of false hope can help people cheer up and struggle.

Abecassi was waiting to see Gurenberudo fall into such a moment. From the appearance, it was impossible to tell who made this warhammer. This was an ornament looted by the Yoda army from an old temple that they happened to pass by. However, it was quite difficult to lift it, so how could it be used to fight?

Edward's legs began to tremble as he looked at the tiger in front of him.

Gulenbeluo, who was standing by, comforted them after seeing this: "Don't be afraid. We have a plan, so there is no need to be so scared."

"Even if we have a plan, this monster will pose a threat to us." Edward said tremblingly.

After seeing the atmosphere was set, Abecassis shouted from the stands: "The battle begins!"

Following Abecassi's order, a Yoda crossbowman pulled the trigger on his crossbow, and the crossbow arrow broke the lock of the iron cage, making a metallic collision sound. The tiger inside realized that the door lock had been opened, and slowly walked out of the iron cage with a low growl.

"Shiger, Grunberudo!"

Edward shouted the names of the two men loudly. After receiving the signal, the two men immediately dispersed and then knocked down the surrounding bonfire stands. The burning sticks in the bonfire stands scattered on the ground. Shiger and Edward each picked up a stick with a burning front end, while Gulenberudo picked up an iron bonfire stand that was burned red by flames.

"So that's how it is." Abecassi suddenly realized that the reason these kids chose to do it at night was to get better weapons.

Three people holding various weapons slowly approached the tiger. The tiger might be afraid of fire, so it directly chose to attack Gulenberudo who was holding the bonfire. Gulenberudo poked the tiger's head with the hot iron frame, and suddenly there was a sizzling sound on the tiger's head. The tiger retreated in pain.

"Good job, Grunberudo!"

"Kill that tiger!"

When the boys saw this, they cheered for Gulenbelud.

"Watch me!" Seeing this, Edward wanted to poke the tiger's butt with the torch, but the tiger had been paying attention to the actions of the two people behind it. As the tiger's tail swept, Edward's leg was hit by the tiger's tail. He lost his balance while running and fell to the ground, and his torch also fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the tiger immediately turned around and approached Edward, preparing to deal with the weakest one first.

"Edward!" Higel, who was standing by, rushed over to support after seeing this, but just as she got close, the tiger turned around and pounced on Higel, knocking her to the ground.

Seeing that his companion was in danger of death, Gulenberudo hurried forward and stabbed the tiger's butt with the bonfire. This time, Gulenberudo used all his strength to pierce the bonfire directly into the tiger's body. Blood immediately gushed out from the wound.

The tiger was in so much pain from the heat and bleeding that it didn't care about Shiger anymore. It turned its head and aimed at Gulenberudo. With one claw, it knocked Gulenberudo down several meters away, leaving a long scratch from the chest to the abdomen. However, due to the bonfire stand stuck in its body, it did not continue to attack Gulenberudo.

After being knocked down, Gulenberg found that the war hammer that he couldn't lift at all was next to him. Then he looked at the tiger that was trying to throw the campfire off its butt and the two frightened people next to it. He knew that if he didn't attack the tiger, he would have to sit and wait for death.

Grunberdo, who was at his wit's end, finally stepped towards the hammer that weighed a hundred kilograms. He grabbed the hammer handle and exerted his strength. Seeing this scene, all the Yoda soldiers in the audience laughed and joked:

"Are you Hercules?"

"Give up, do you really think you can lift it?"

But at this time, Grunberdo felt his heart gradually getting hot and beating violently, and he remembered the words of the girl in the forest many years ago:

"You are a fire dragon..."

"I am a dragon..." Gurenberudo muttered to himself, grasped the handle of the hammer with both hands, and used all his strength to try to lift the hammer.

"Roar……"

The tiger next to him successfully threw the bonfire rack away, and then rushed towards Gurenberudo.

"Gulenberg!" Higel and Edward exclaimed one after another.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

As Gurenberudo's body shook, the war hammer began to loosen under the incredulous gazes of everyone present.

"I am a dragon!"

Gulenbergo roared, raised the war hammer with all his strength and smashed it directly on the tiger's head. The war hammer hit the tiger's head like a meteor, and blood mixed with brain matter flew into the sky. The tiger was bleeding profusely from the blow, and its eyes popped out of its sockets. After a twitch, it fell to the ground.

Seeing this situation, Abecassi immediately ordered: "Shoot! Shoot!"

Suddenly arrows flew from all directions. Gulun Beirudo and the other two immediately hid behind the tiger's body and retreated to the corner with the body step by step.

"Do you have any other plans?" Gurenberudo asked Edward.

"There's nothing we can do..." Edward said with a sad face.

At this moment, arrows were shot from outside the concentration camp, and the Yoda soldiers stationed there were all focused on the battle with Gurenbeldo, but were hit by the arrows and fell to the ground one after another.

Abecassi's adjutant was also shot in the neck, and the blood spurted out and splashed all over Abecassi's face. He immediately shouted loudly: "Enemy attack!" The entire concentration camp was in chaos.

At the same time, with a loud bang, the door was blown open, and many people with tattoos on their faces, holding round shields with various totems, holding machetes and axes, rushed in from outside, and chopped down any Yoda soldiers they saw.

"For Midland, for Valhalla! Charge!"

Seeing this, Grunbeluo remembered what his mother had said to him before: "Grunbeluo, you must remember that we are descendants of the sea bear tribe..."

Gradually, the sea bear tribe described by his mother and these big men overlapped, causing Gulenberg to fall into a trance.

When Abecassi saw that the concentration camp had fallen, he immediately ran out of the concentration camp through the back door as fast as the wind.

Looking at the concentration camp with flames rising to the sky in the distance, Abecassi quickly lay on the ground, gasping for breath while cursing the Mitlan people: "These damn Mitlan people, wait until I make a comeback..."

"Roar, is that so." An old voice came from the distance. Abecassi looked up at the hill and saw an old man riding a horse and wearing armor on the hill.

"Someone, come and capture these Yodas for me!"

After hearing the order, Kierston's soldiers surrounded the remnants of Abecassi. After a battle, all the Yoda soldiers, including Abecassi, were captured alive by Grant's soldiers.
