Berserk, Total War: Second Son of Nobles

Chapter 461: Revenge when there is a grudge, revenge when there is a grudge

"Pfft!"

A spear pierced the chest of a Yoda soldier with thunderous force.

The Yoda soldier was originally trying to make a final resistance with some ferocity and determination, but the sudden attack made him open his eyes wide in an instant, his eyes full of disbelief and fear.

His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to shout something, but no sound came out.

Immediately afterwards, his body fell straight forward like a puppet with its strings cut, and fell heavily to the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust.

The Midlan soldier pulled out his spear expressionlessly, and the sharp tip of the spear was slowly pulled out from the Yoda soldier's chest. The bright red blood flowed down the spear, flashing a dazzling light in the early morning sun.

His eyes were cold and resolute. In his eyes, what he saw was not a living being, but an unforgivable enemy who must be eliminated.

Then, without hesitation, he drew out his spear and rushed towards the other Yoda soldiers who were still resisting.

Under the clear sky, the shadow of war has not dissipated.

The bodies of soldiers from both sides were everywhere. They lay in disorder on the ground. Their blood dyed the earth red, and under the sunlight, it glowed with a heart-pounding dark red luster.

Not far away, a group of naked Yoda soldiers squatted with their heads in their hands under the supervision of soldiers from various countries.

Their bodies were covered with scars, some were still bleeding, and they looked particularly miserable.

Their eyes were filled with panic and fear, like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Their bodies were trembling slightly and they were shaking in the cold wind of the early morning.

These Yoda soldiers, once fierce warriors on the battlefield, are now like stray dogs, having lost all their dignity and courage.

"These Yoda soldiers were so arrogant when they besieged the city, but now they have ended up like this."

A Midlan soldier looked at the Yoda soldiers squatting on the ground and said coldly.

"Humph, this is what they deserve. It's only a matter of time before they pay the price for what they did."

Another soldier echoed, a look of disgust on his face.

Although the raid was launched at night and the base camp of Yoda's army was successfully captured, the smoke of the battle had not yet completely dissipated.

A large number of Yoda soldiers are still fleeing or resisting, and the coalition soldiers are chasing them hard.

Shouts and screams echoed across the battlefield.

However, the greatest achievement was undoubtedly the successful resolution of the siege of Earl's Castle by Yoda's army.

The morale of the defenders in the Earl's Castle was greatly boosted. They knew that the dawn of victory was gradually emerging.

On a hillside, the sun shone on Hawke and the commanders of the various countries' armies.

They sat together, their faces filled with the joy of victory, and Hawke expressed his gratitude to the monarchs and commanders of various countries.

"Commanders, our success in capturing the base camp of Yoda's army and lifting the siege of the Earl's Castle is inseparable from the strong support of the monarchs of various countries."

"Everyone's heroic fighting has enabled us to achieve today's victory."

"Here, on behalf of the Hohenzollern family, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you!"

Hawke bowed deeply. He originally wanted to say that he was representing Count John, but since Count John had passed away, he could only speak of the Hohenzollern family in general.

At this moment, a captain came running over, knelt on one knee, and said loudly:

"Report! General, Yoda's generals, Ger and Adam, fled to the east and south respectively."

Hawke's eyes suddenly became sharp. He stood up and gave a loud order:

"Gather the troops immediately and chase them in two groups! We must not let these two guys escape!"

These two are the highest commanders of the invading territory. How can we explain to the military and civilians in the territory if we let them escape?

At this time, Gurenberudo, the leader of the Fire Dragon Knights of the Grand Duchy of Grant, stepped forward. He was tall and majestic, and the armor on his body flashed a cold light under the sunlight.

He looked at Hawke firmly and said loudly:

"General, let me take on the task of chasing Dougal. This man massacred many of my fellow sea bears on Grant Island a few years ago. Today is the time to avenge them!"

Hawke looked at Gurenberudo with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes, and said without hesitation:

"Okay! I believe in your ability. Then you will lead the Fire Dragon Knights to chase after Gol. You must capture him alive and make him pay for his actions!"

Dougal was urging the warhorse under him frantically, and the dust raised by the horse's hooves spread behind him.

At this moment, there were only a few knights around him, less than a hundred, and all of them were injured and exhausted.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, casting a shadowy shadow on them.

Dougal was riding on a horse with a somewhat empty look in his eyes, and his mind kept emerging with his experience of becoming the Grand Marshal of the Yoda Empire step by step over the years.

Once upon a time, he joined the army with passion and ambition, and had two beliefs in his heart: one was to defend the country and let the Yoda Empire prosper under his protection; the other was to make achievements, become a hero admired by everyone, and leave his own glorious chapter in the long river of history.

In the army, he trained hard and gradually emerged from an ordinary soldier with his outstanding military talents and fearless fighting spirit.

He participated in battle after battle, and each time he led the soldiers to charge into battle. His name gradually spread among the army, and he became an idol in the hearts of the soldiers and was appreciated by the late emperor.

Step by step, he went through countless hardships and obstacles and finally ascended to the high position of marshal.

However, the reality is so cruel.

Today, the Imperial Army has been defeated across the board, and the Midlan people are constantly recovering their lost territory. It is only a matter of time before the Midlan army invades the Yoda Empire.

And I, who had spent countless efforts and hard work, had failed in this war.

Dougal felt sad when he thought that he would be met with endless accusations and contempt after returning home, and would become a complete failure.

"Oh no!" A knight at the back rode up on his horse with a terrified look on his face, shouting loudly.

Dougal turned his head slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Why are you so flustered?"

The knight panted and said, "The enemy cavalry is catching up."

Dougal was startled when he heard this and immediately looked back. He saw dust flying in the back and a large number of cavalrymen rushing towards them like a surging tide.

The cavalrymen waved their weapons and shouted loudly, as if they wanted to devour them completely.

A hint of despair flashed across Dougal's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a complex emotion.

He was silent for a moment, then did an unexpected move—he turned his horse around.

The surrounding knights were horrified when they saw this, and they shouted:

"Sir, why did you stop? If you don't run now, it will be too late!"

Dougal looked at them and said firmly:

"I've already escaped once, but ended up witnessing the failure of this battle. I'm tired and don't want to run again. Instead of this, I might as well fight to the death!"

"You guys can run if you want. I want to charge one more time at the last moment of my life."

There was a hint of determination in Dougal's eyes.

After hearing this, the knights around were stunned at first, and then fell into a brief silence.

Finally, one by one, they turned their horses around and fought alongside Dougal.

Dougal looked at the cavalry approaching him, took a deep breath, and slowly drew his sword.

His hands trembled slightly, but his eyes were determined. He shouted:

"The Sea Beasts are attacking the Knights, attack!"

At the same time, Gulenberudo was leading the Fire Dragon Knights and rushing towards this side at a rapid speed.

He saw that not far ahead, the Yoda cavalry turned their horses around and made a gesture as if they were ready to fight to the death.

Grunberdo raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He looked at the Yoda cavalry rushing towards him, and thought to himself:

They actually have such courage.

Even though Dougal had done a lot of bad things and the sins he had committed were definitely enough to get him killed several times, he still felt awe for the warriors in his heart.

Grunberudo rode his horse with his war hammer raised, his eyes fixed on Dougal in front of him.

He felt the strong wind brought by the galloping horse, and thought in his heart:

"Today is the day you pay the price!"

In an instant, the knights of both sides collided fiercely like two steel torrents.

The battlefield was in chaos, with shouts, the neighing of horses and the clash of weapons intertwined together to form a tragic war song.

Gulenberudo quickly locked onto Dougal's position in the crowd, and he drove his horse and rushed towards Dougal like an arrow.

The moment he approached, he seized the opportunity, raised the warhammer high, and smashed it hard at Dougal in front of him.

This attack condensed all his strength and carried endless murderous intent.

Dougal on the opposite side was not afraid at all and did not choose to dodge.

He stared straight at the hammer that Gurenberudo was smashing at him, without a trace of retreat in his eyes.

Just as the war hammer was about to hit him, he swung his sword and slashed at Gurenberdo.

With a loud "clang", Gulenberg felt the hammer hitting his helmet, and the impact force spread throughout his body along the helmet. He even heard the sound of a watermelon breaking - Dougal's helmet was smashed by the warhammer, and his head instantly turned into pieces.

However, a sharp pain came from his chest, and Gulenberudo discovered that at the last moment of his life, Dougal had also used his sword to cut a deep scratch on Gulenberudo's breastplate, directly revealing the cotton coat inside.

Dougal's body fell off the horse and lay on the last battlefield of his life.
