Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

In the reception room on the first floor of the main castle of Kingsley Manor, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn, as if water could drip out.

The backbone of the robbers gathered here, all of them looked solemn, and their eyes revealed determination.

Hood sat on the main seat, scanning the people present with a sharp gaze, and then issued orders in an orderly manner.

"Batu, Ashilan!"

Hood's low voice sounded, with an unquestionable tone: "You two are divided into two groups, each leading four bandits, one group is responsible for staying in the manor, and the other group goes out to explore the surrounding situation. Remember, any disturbance cannot be missed."

Hearing the order, Batu and Ashilan, who were sitting on the stool, leaned forward slightly to indicate that they accepted the order.

Seeing this, Hood nodded slightly, then turned his head and cast his eyes on Paul beside him. He said with a serious expression: "Paul, the construction of the outer city wall is crucial, and the current speed is far from enough."

"The enemy may attack at any time. We must race against time to complete the construction of the outer city wall before the enemy arrives, as the first line of defense against foreign enemies."

Paul hesitated after hearing this. After a moment, he slowly said: "Boss, it's not that the captives are not working hard, but there is a shortage of manpower. In order to speed up the progress of the project, I have asked the captives to work day and night, but even so, the progress is still slow..."

Hearing this, Hood frowned instantly, and he mercilessly stretched out his hand to interrupt Paul's speech.

His tone became gloomy: "Not enough manpower? Then you can find a way to capture more people! The manor now has sufficient food reserves, enough to feed the newly captured people. As long as the wall can be completed on time, all means are feasible." After that, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"I know, boss!" Paul nodded, indicating that he would find a way to speed up the progress.

"Monkron, Kuhn!" Hood continued to call out names.

"Boss!"

Monkron and Kuhn were startled when Hood suddenly called their names. They quickly straightened their bodies, like two tight strings, and pricked up their ears at the same time, listening attentively to the next instructions.

Hood said solemnly: "You two go to help Paul solve the problem of insufficient manpower. Remember, this matter is of vital importance and cannot be missed."

"Yes, boss!"

Monkron and Kuhn responded in unison, their answers were crisp and clear, without any hesitation.

Before the voice fell, the two turned around and left, with hurried steps, obviously to carry out the task assigned by Hood as soon as possible and to gather the robbers.

At this time, Hood suddenly turned his head as if he suddenly thought of something, and cast his eyes on Jeff standing on the right.

He frowned and asked, "Jeff, how is the construction of the new warehouse going?"

Jeff answered without hesitation, "Boss, according to the current progress, it will be completed in two days. By then, we can smoothly transfer the grain to store it."

Hearing this answer, Hood showed a satisfied smile on his face. He nodded approvingly and cast an affirmative look at Jeff.

However, just a moment later, Hood fell into deep thought again and began to carefully consider whether there were other omissions that needed to be dealt with.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was silence around. Everyone looked at Hood quietly, waiting for his further instructions.

Finally, after careful consideration, Hood was sure that there were no other issues to be explained, so he waved his hand gently, indicating that everyone could disperse and do their own things.

With his gesture, the people in the reception room slowly dispersed like a tide.

"Boss? Do you have any tasks for me?" Just as Paul and the others left the reception room, a head suddenly stretched out and asked in a low voice.

Hood slowly raised his head, his eyes gradually focused on the owner of the head.

When he saw the person clearly, the gloomy look on his face disappeared instantly, and then a bright smile appeared on his face.

"It turned out to be Nott..." Hood raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.

Nott strode into the room, laughing as he walked.

After he stood in front of Hood, he scratched his head and asked, "Boss, why haven't you assigned me any tasks? I'm almost bored!"

Looking at the robber who had followed him for the longest time, Hood couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

However, among many robbers, Hood always had a special tolerance and preference for Nott.

After thinking for a moment, Huo De suddenly becameWith a serious face, he said solemnly: "Nott, I do have an extremely important task for you to complete. This task is of great importance. I wonder if you can do it?"

Hearing this, Nott was stunned for a moment, and then his face was filled with irrepressible joy as if he had won the lottery.

He patted his broad and strong chest vigorously, and answered loudly with a solemn oath: "Boss, just give me your orders! No matter how difficult the task is, as long as it is handed over to me, there will be absolutely no problem!"

Seeing Nott so proactive and confident, Hood tried hard not to laugh out loud.

He still maintained that extremely serious expression and continued to ask: "Nott... Think about it carefully. If our enemies really come, then in this case, what is the most important thing?" When he said this, the smile that could not be hidden in the depths of Hood's eyes was becoming more and more intense.

"Of course, your safety is the most important!" As expected, Nott gave such an answer without hesitation, which was exactly the same as what Hood thought in his heart.

Seeing Nott fall into the trap so easily, Hood nodded, then slowly stretched out his hand, gently patted Nott's broad and strong shoulders, and praised with a face full of satisfaction: "Oh, Nott, you are really very smart! I have always thought you are the smartest of all people."

Hearing Hood's generous praise, Nott's heart was instantly like a pot of boiling water, and his joy was beyond words.

His face, which was originally slightly flushed due to excitement, was now even redder, and his eyes were narrowed into a slit with laughter.

At the same time, he secretly cursed Paul and others in his heart. Hum, now even the boss praises me for being smart, let's see if Paul and others dare to laugh at me again in the future.

At this moment, Nott was happier and happier, and his chest unconsciously stood higher, as if he had become the smartest among the robbers.

"So, I think I'll leave my safety to you. I'll arrange for the other three robber leaders to serve as my personal guards with you. Well... let you be the captain of the personal guards, how about it?" Hood said with a smile.

"Really? I'll be the captain of the personal guards?"

After hearing what Hood said, Nott was surprised. After seeing Hood's confirmation nod, he couldn't suppress his excitement. He held his head high and said, "Boss, please rest assured, I will definitely protect you well."

"Well, I believe you!" Hood tried not to laugh and patted Nott's chest.

"Okay, you go out first, I still have some things to do."

"Okay, boss, you go first." Nott walked out of the reception room with his chest puffed out. He walked outside the main castle and looked at his busy companions with a hint of pride in his eyes.

"Humph, the boss still values ​​me the most..."
