Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

"Open the gate!!"

Paul's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out. His eyes, as big as copper bells, were wide open, and he roared at the criminals below.

Then, he cursed in his heart: "Damn it, this abominable Nott!"

Since the person coming was not an enemy, Paul, with a gloomy face, led the robbers to slowly walk down from the high tower step by step.

At the same time, Batu, Ashilan and others finally came to their senses and hurriedly walked down from the city wall.

"Creaky..." accompanied by a strange sound that made people's teeth ache, the heavy door that had just been closed for less than a minute was slowly pushed open again.

Paul led several robbers to the door quickly. When he saw Batu and others coming out, his expression became more and more unhappy. He snorted coldly and didn't even bother to look at them. He just stood there quietly, waiting for Nott and his party to arrive.

Perhaps he was keenly aware of the strong dissatisfaction in Paul's heart, and Batu's originally calm face gradually became ugly at this moment.

However, after thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth, walked to Paul's side, and apologized to him sincerely in a low voice.

"Batu, you should know very well that the only ones under our boss who can be called cavalry are you guys, so no matter what, you must not act so recklessly with them!!!"

Paul stared at Batu, who was bowing his head in front of him, with a very serious expression.

"I understand!" Batu resisted the urge to punch Paul in the face, gritted his teeth and whispered.

Not long after, in the rolling smoke and dust, the figures of Hood, Nott and others gradually emerged clearly, and they all looked tired and dusty.

Paul, who was standing at the door, saw the figures of Hood and others from afar, and his face instantly showed surprise. How come even the leader came in person? And he looked like he was fleeing in a hurry!

Thinking of this, Paul couldn't help but frowned slightly.

With a "whoosh..." sound, Hood pulled the reins to stop the horse.

He first looked around the messy construction site, then turned over and dismounted without hesitation, and strode straight towards the main castle with heavy steps.

Seeing this scene, Paul put away his doubts and hurriedly trotted along.

However, Batu on the side did not act immediately, but cast his eyes on Nott and others who had just got off the carriage, and asked curiously: "Nott, what happened to you? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Faced with Batu's question, Nott just shook his head lightly without saying a word.

Then, he led Monklon and others to hurriedly catch up with Hood who had already walked far ahead.

At this time, the captives and lawless people in the manor who had never seen Hood's true face, when they saw that Paul, who was usually majestic and arrogant, was actually following a strange young man with his head down, all of them couldn't help but show extremely surprised expressions on their faces.

They whispered to each other and talked in a low voice. At the same time, a few lawless people in the crowd who were particularly alert seemed to have noticed some clues, and their eyes were rolling around, and I don't know what they were thinking.

Hood came to the reception room and sat down on the main seat. Looking at Paul, Nott and others who followed him in, he said in a hoarse voice: "Sit down."

When the dry voice like sandpaper rubbed into his ears, Paul's heart couldn't help but tremble.

He turned his head to look at Hood on the main seat, only to see that his face was haggard and his eyes were dull, and the doubts in his heart surged like a tide.

What kind of events had happened to make the always resolute leader become like this now?

At this time, Hood seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He sat on the chair exhaustedly, and even speaking seemed so difficult.

He looked at Monklon beside him with a weak look, waved his hand weakly, and indicated that Monklon would tell Paul and others what happened in Rhine Town.

After receiving the instruction, Monklon nodded silently, and then slowly stood up.

He took a deep breath, and faced Paul, Batu and Ashlan, who were all in the reception room, and began to tell the story of what happened in Rhine Town in the same dry voice.

As Monklon's narration deepened, the expressions of Paul and the other two also changed.

Sometimes they frowned, sometimes they gritted their teeth, and anger and astonishment were intertwined on their faces.

Especially when they heard that Hod and the robbers were attacked fiercely by the town guards and mercenaries in the city and were forced to flee the city, the faces of the three people were extremely ugly.

However, after learning that everyone finally escaped successfully, their tense nerves relaxed a little and their faces improved slightly.

When Monklon finally finished telling all the stories, he felt his throat was dry and unbearable, as if it was burned by fire. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and then his body softened, and he slowly sat back in his seat, breathing heavily.

At this time, Batu, who was impatient, could no longer suppress his anger.

He jumped up from his seat, his face flushed, his eyes wide open, waving his fists and shouting: "Boss, I must avenge this!!! I must personally chop off the heads of that abominable Conrad, the town guards, the nobles' private soldiers, and the mercenaries!!!"

Hod looked at the angry Batu, pulled the corners of his mouth, smiled with difficulty, and then waved his hand, motioning him to sit down first.

"Paul, go get some food and water. We haven't had a good meal all the way!" After Batu sat down indignantly, Hod opened his cracked lips and said weakly.

At this time, Paul, who was lost in thought, was startled suddenly, as if he had just woken up from a dream, and raised his head in a daze, his eyes still a little confused.

After he came to his senses completely, he immediately responded: "Okay, boss, I'll do it right away!" After that, he quickly stood up and hurriedly left the reception room.

Not long after, Paul led several robbers in, carrying all kinds of food, water and beer in their hands, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the living room.

"Remember to send some to the brothers guarding outside." Hood took a glass of water and drank it all.

Hearing a few "gurgles", he felt his throat moistened a lot after drinking a glass of water, and his voice was no longer so hoarse.

"Don't worry, boss! I have arranged for someone to send it over." Paul nodded.

Hood was relieved to get a positive answer. He reached out and picked up a bowl of steaming broth, put it to his mouth, took a deep breath of the rich aroma, and then couldn't wait to drink it in big gulps.

Seeing this, Nott and others on the side also rushed to the dining table like hungry tigers, and launched a sweeping sweep of those delicacies that were not usually considered delicacies.

Even the two girls, Emma and Bertha, who always paid attention to their manners, no longer cared about their image at this moment. They each hugged a big bowl tightly and ate happily.
