Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

With a population of nearly 200 people, all of them young and strong, the daily food consumption is not a small number.

Thinking of this, Hood asked again: "So, what is the current food reserve in the manor? How long can it sustain us?"

Paul did not pause at all, as if he had already calculated the relevant data in his mind. He responded in an orderly manner: "In terms of food, the manor now has more than 100 bags of various grains, roughly estimated to be more than 1,000 kilograms, and various fruits and vegetables are also more than 300 kilograms.

In addition, there are 15 cattle and sheep, 8 pigs, more than a dozen chickens and ducks, and some milk beans in the manor."

After listening to the series of numbers reported by Paul, Hood's face gradually became ugly. He subconsciously stretched out his fingers and tapped the table lightly to relieve his anxiety.

Because these pitiful food reserves are simply a drop in the bucket for the many people in the manor now.

With a rough calculation in his mind, Hood knew that the food would not even last for a month.

If it was before, maybe there would be no problem. At that time, he could purchase sufficient food from Rhine Town and then transport it safely back to the manor.

But now, the situation has changed drastically. Not to mention buying food, I am afraid that as soon as he approaches Rhine Town, he will become a living target for those noble private soldiers and town guards.

"Ding ding ding..."

Hood tapped the table with his fingers in an upset state, making a series of rapid and dull sounds.

He frowned, closed his eyes, and his mind was spinning like a windmill, thinking about a good way to solve the urgent problem of food shortage.

Time passed by, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he finally thought of only one seemingly feasible solution.

Looting villages and manors...

Only in this way can he get food replenishment, otherwise Conrad doesn't need to send troops to encircle and suppress them, they will starve to death due to food shortage.

Suddenly, Paul raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Boss, I calculated it last night. According to the current food reserves, it will be consumed in about 20 days."

"Even if the food of the captives is halved, it can only last for a month at most. If there is no food within a month, then we are afraid..."

Even if Paul didn't say the latter words, Hood could understand what he meant. He opened his eyes and said slowly: "So, replenishing our food reserves is necessary, but it is impossible to continue to buy from Rhine Town. Now the only way we can get a lot of food is the nearby manors and villages."

Speaking of this, Hood walked aside, staring at the map that Paul had been looking at before, and asked, "Are these the nearby manors you marked?"

Paul nodded slightly, his finger landed steadily on the yellowed map, pointed to the eye-catching marks circled in red, and replied, "Yes, boss, after you left last time, I sent Ashlan to the surrounding area to explore."

"Based on the information he brought back, I recorded all the manors within a radius of 20 miles here."

Hearing Paul's orderly explanation, Hood, who had been staring at the map with his head down, slowly raised his head, his eyes revealing undisguised admiration.

He looked at Paul deeply. This Paul really lived up to his original choice from the crowd and let him change his job to become a hero.

In comparison, Nott, who only knew how to act recklessly, was far behind.

Afterwards, Hood moved his eyes back to the map again, concentrating on examining the places marked in red.

According to the markings made by Paul, there are three manors of different sizes near Kingsley Manor.

At this time, Hood couldn't help but frowned and fell into deep thought. If he really wanted to attack the manor, he would lose some manpower.

You know, the reason why Kingsley Manor was taken last time was entirely because the housekeeper saw that there were few people on this side, so he and the robbers were able to enter the manor. Otherwise, if they really attacked by force, they might not be able to take it down.

For a while, various thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and finally Hood decided to act.

He now has enough manpower, even if some losses are acceptable, and the robbers also need to fight to upgrade their levels and advance to higher arms.

After making up his mind, Hood looked at the map again, looking for a suitable target. The three manors are about ten miles away from Kingsley Manor. If you take a carriage, it won't take long to arrive.

If everything goes well,If so, they can return before dawn.

After careful consideration, Hood slowly straightened up, looked at Paul with a firm gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Paul, gather the people, and prepare enough carriages and mule carts to transport food." After that, he crossed his arms and fell into a brief contemplation.

Ten minutes later, forty first-level robbers, six senior robbers, two elite robbers and two robber leaders, a total of fifty robbers, were already standing on the empty space outside the main castle.

These robbers were all ready to fight, full of energy, with excitement and expectation in their eyes.

Especially those robbers who had fled from Rhine Town with Hood, were now panting heavily, their chests heaving violently, and their faces showing a ferocious look.

The frustration and depression suffered in the past two days seemed to be completely released at this moment...

Hod's eyes were sharp as a torch, and he quickly scanned the team in front of him.

Then, he waved his hand suddenly and shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

In an instant, all the robbers quickly boarded the carriage that had been prepared long ago, and Hod himself climbed onto a majestic travel horse.

He turned his head and looked at Paul standing beside him, and said solemnly: "Paul, this manor is entrusted to you. You must guard it well and wait for us to return!"

After hearing this, Paul nodded solemnly and responded: "Boss, please rest assured."

After speaking, he waved his hand to signal the criminals to open the door. As the door opened, Hod suddenly clamped his legs together, and the travel horse began to accelerate slowly.
