Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

After Hod personally relieved the pain of the three seriously injured robbers, he originally planned to summon some robbers to make up the number of his team.

But he changed his mind and thought that instead of recruiting robbers from the system now, it would be better to wait until he encountered danger to recruit them. In this way, these robbers can become a trump card in his hand for emergency use.

So, after dealing with the bodies of the robbers, Hod took Nott and others who were wearing new equipment and continued on their journey.

However, fate always seemed to like to play jokes. Less than half an hour after they set out, Hod and his party actually encountered a gang of eleven robbers.

At this time, the target of the robbers trying to rob was Connie, who made a living by selling handicrafts.

Seeing that Connie was about to be chopped to death by a robber with long hair and a sharp axe, Hod made a prompt decision and immediately ordered the robbers to attack the enemy.

The robbers who had changed into brand new equipment were already eager to try.

Three light crossbows shot quickly and accurately hit three robbers, killing them on the spot. Then, under the leadership of Nott and Monkron, the robbers rushed towards the robber gang like a tiger descending from the mountain, and easily knocked them all to the ground.

Perhaps because of the new equipment, Connie naturally regarded Hod and others as bounty hunters.

However, when he saw Hod executed the robbers without hesitation, he did not cut off their heads, which made him very confused.

Bounty hunters usually cut off the heads of the executed as evidence in exchange for the corresponding bounty, but these people in front of him did not seem to care about these heads, which made Connie begin to doubt their true identity.

After thinking about it for a while, Connie suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possible answer-these people are a mercenary team!

Only the mercenary team would not care whether to cut off the heads of the criminals in exchange for bounties.

Mercenaries are more focused on completing tasks and getting paid by signing contracts with employers. Therefore, for mercenaries, cutting heads is not something they are willing to do.

Of course there are exceptions, but most mercenaries will not do such things.

Hod is also happy to see that Connie has such an idea, which is also good for them.

After all, it is too dangerous to wander in the wild all the time. Criminals, bounty hunters, and various lords may pose a threat to him and the robbers.

It is better to disguise as a mercenary team to enter the town. On the one hand, many unnecessary dangers can be avoided, and on the other hand, Hod does not want to live in the wild.

As a person who has lived in a stable society since childhood, Hod feels extremely uneasy about the chaotic and disorderly environment in the wild.

Even if there are some Notts and others to accompany him, he still prefers to stay in a place with order and clear rules. Such an environment makes him feel at ease and can better plan the future of himself and the robbers.

The town has undoubtedly become his most ideal habitat. Towns usually have relatively complete infrastructure, public security forces and commercial activities, which can provide a certain degree of security and convenience. Most of the residents in the town also follow basic rules and laws.

However, in order to successfully enter the town and integrate into it, having a positive identity is an indispensable condition.

It is difficult to obtain the recognition and acceptance of the town lord without a legal identity, and there may even be the risk of being expelled or excluded.

At this time, Connie mistakenly regarded them as mercenaries, which gave Hood a good way to enter the town.

So, he immediately decided to use this identity without hesitation and took Nott and others to Rhine Town as mercenaries.

Through conversations with Connie along the way, Hood gradually gained a preliminary understanding of Rhine Town.

According to Connie, the ruler of this town is Vito Dave from the Dave family, and this Lord Vito also has a special identity-the eldest son of the old Marquis of Angana.

According to what Connie said, after Vito Dave came of age, the old Marquis of Angana generously gave Rhine Town and three surrounding villages to his eldest son, which became Vito's private territory.

Time flies, and now Vito Dave has been ruling Rhine Town steadily for a full eight years.

"However, Lord Vito doesn't often stay in the town, and the town is usually managed by Lord Conrad."

When Connie said this, he paused, as if thinking of something, and then looked at Hod and said: "I think it is necessary to introduce Lord Conrad to you to avoid unnecessary trouble later.

He is the official appointed by Lord Vito himself, responsible for handlingDaily affairs in the territory, so if you have any questions or need help, you can always find him. "

"Oh, that's it." Hood nodded, indicating that he understood, and then asked: "Where does Lord Vito usually stay?"

"Lord Vito usually lives with the old marquis in Kanerba Castle, where their family is stationed." Connie replied.

Hood nodded thoughtfully, thinking secretly in his heart, and suddenly, he pretended to ask casually: "Connie, do you know Knight Barnett?"

Hearing this question, Connie's eyes suddenly lit up, and his tone became a little surprised and excited: "Captain Hood, you actually know Knight Barnett?"

Seeing Connie's reaction, Hood's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly realized that Connie must know the Knight Barnett mentioned by the militia captain.

However, he did not show any strangeness on the surface, but just smiled awkwardly and explained: "I just heard of his name, but I don't know him. "Oh, that's how it is!" Connie suddenly realized, and then he enthusiastically introduced Knight Barnett to Hood.

"Knight Barnett is a real legend! He was born in an ordinary peasant family, but he won the appreciation and favor of Lord Vito with his outstanding military exploits. Finally, Lord Vito gave him the title of knight and made him the lord of Lesse Village."

While speaking, Connie's eyes flashed with reverence, as if he hoped that he could become a knight and own a territory like Barnett in the future.

"I heard that Knight Barnett is now stationed in Rhine Town. I wonder if I can meet him this time..." Connie's expression was a little excited, just like those fans in Hood's previous life who were about to meet their idols.

"I really hope to see this knight in person!" Connie said with a longing look.

But as soon as this sentence was said, Hood's face suddenly changed, and his steps slowly stopped: "Connie, you said Knight Barnett is now in Rhine Town? "

"Yes, Lord Vito has a total of six knights under his command. Except for the two guards who have been following Lord Vito, the other knights will take turns to garrison in Rhine Town. According to the schedule, it is Knight Barnett's turn in the past two months." Connie replied.

"So, as long as we arrive in Rhine Town, we may meet Knight Barnett?" A hint of complexity flashed in Hood's eyes. Although he tried his best to hide it, Connie still caught it.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Connie looked at Hood in confusion, not understanding why the other party suddenly became so strange.

Not only Hood, but even Nott and Kuhn who followed behind him also looked a little strange at this time.

"Head? "

Nott walked quickly to Hood's side, glanced at Connie who was a few steps away, and whispered: "If that Barnett Knight knew that we killed his militia captain in his territory, I'm afraid..."

Nott didn't say the following words, but Hood also understood what he meant.

Hood's expression kept changing, sometimes worried, sometimes ferocious, and sometimes revealing a ruthless look.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and made a difficult decision. He took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and then walked quickly towards Monkron.

Connie on the side looked at Hood's actions, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement, but He did not ask.

At this time, Monkron, who was following the team, also noticed Hood's arrival. He raised his head and looked at Hood with a puzzled look.

"Boss..." Monkron asked softly, with a hint of confusion in his voice, as if he did not understand why the team suddenly stopped.

Hood walked in front of Monkron and stopped. His eyes became extremely solemn, as if a heavy burden was weighing on his heart. After a moment of silence, he finally said:

"Monkron, I am going to give you a difficult task now. This task is related to the life and death of all of us. You must go all out."
