Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

[Upgradable Troops: Vlandian Light Infantry x 10]

[Spend 1 gold dragon and 5 silver deer per person, can be upgraded to Vlandian Spearmen/Vlandian Infantry]

In the last raid on the stronghold, Hod upgraded a total of twelve Vlandian Light Infantrymen.

However, in the following battle with the Duoyan tribe, a powerful red tassel armored cavalry rushed into the defense line of light infantrymen and killed two Vlandian Light Infantrymen in a row. In this way, there were only ten Vlandian Light Infantrymen who should have been twelve.

Just like when Vlandian recruits are promoted, Vlandian Light Infantrymen also have two different promotion routes to choose from.

One route allows them to become Vlandian Spearmen who hold spears and can resist cavalry charges, while the other will transform them into Vlandian Infantrymen who hold swords and shields.

Whether it is spearmen or infantrymen, as advanced third-level troops, they are the backbone of the Vlandian Kingdom army.

Faced with two advancement routes, Hod frowned slightly and hesitated for a while, but in the end he still promoted these ten light infantrymen to spearmen.

You know, the role played by the Vlandian infantry overlaps with that of the robbers. Both belong to the shield-carrying line infantry. The robbers also have the same defense role as the Vlandian infantry.

Although the Vlandian spearmen are the most prone to faults in the Vlandian cultural system and have obvious shortcomings, they also have an advantage, that is, they can defend against cavalry.

As a third-level infantry spearman, the Vlandian spearmen not only wear short-sleeved jackets made of two different leathers, but also have a high-pointed spear with 48 spikes in their main combat weapon, which makes them a great threat to the opponent when facing the heavy armored cavalry.

Moreover, these spearmen are also equipped with a reinforced oak kite-shaped large shield, which improves their own protection capabilities to a certain extent.

However, it is precisely because they use a combination of long-pole weapons and one-handed weapons that their overall performance is not satisfactory in close combat, even if they have a ridged armed sword that can cause 67 swings.

Their survival rate is relatively low, and their ability to fight alone is also relatively weak.

Therefore, if you want to give full play to the strength of these spearmen, the best strategy is to let them cooperate with other infantry.

But for Hod, who has a variety of arms in his troops, he is not worried about this problem at all.

Thinking of this, Hod no longer hesitated, communicated with the system, and murmured in a low voice.

"Advance, Vlandia Spearmen."

The complex and cumbersome data link appeared again, surrounding the ten Vlandia light infantrymen and slowly reshaped their bodies, injecting them with various combat skills belonging to spearmen.

Under Hod's gaze, ten Vlandia spearmen wearing leather armor short-sleeved jackets, holding high-pointed spears in one hand and reinforced oak kite-shaped shields in the other hand appeared.

"The Vlandian Spearmen salute you, respected Lord Hod."

Led by Alder with a resolute face, the ten spearmen walked steadily to Hod, knelt on one knee, and expressed their respect to Hod, just like Orville and other crossbowmen before.

Weapon Proficiency:

One-handed weapons 150, two-handed weapons 60, long pole weapons 200, throwing 60, bows and arrows 60, crossbows 60.

Weapons and Equipment:

Infantry chainmail vest, belted bowl helmet, leather gloves, hardened leather boots, high-pointed spear, reinforced oak kite-shaped large shield, ridged armed sword

Looking at Alder's character data, Hod nodded. Although the data of the Vlandian spearmen was not too high, their weapons and equipment were much stronger than those of the Vlandian crossbowmen of the same level.

Whose soldiers can wear chain mail at level three? Even the robbers only wore studded leather armor when they were at level three. Of course, the perverted pirates were an exception.

With these ten Vlandian spearmen, if they encounter the same battle as before, they can just swing the shield formation and raise the spear. No matter how fierce the red tassel armored cavalry is, they can't break through their defense line unless they are stabbed into a sieve.

After the Vlandian spearmen were upgraded, all the soldiers under Hod were upgraded.

This result undoubtedly excited Hod. However, with the team's strength soaring again, the balance in his backpack also decreased sharply, until only 74 gold dragons and 2 silver deer were left.

Looking at the balance that was originally quite generous but has now shrunk significantlyThe number, Hod's heart seemed to be tugged by an invisible hand, and it hurt.

At this time, the suggestion proposed by Nott before flashed through his mind again, and it became clear in an instant.

"Or, let Batu lead a team to find out where the army of the old man Marquis Angana is now? Then take the opportunity to capture some of the nobles and extort them!"

Once this idea came into being, it grew wildly in Hod's heart like weeds, and it was difficult to contain it.

After all, compared with the powerful and difficult Kuyel nobles, the nobles of the Kingdom of Estera are much more familiar to him.

Those guys are pampered on weekdays, and their fighting power may be far less than that of the brutal and fierce Kuyel people.

In this way, the success rate of catching them and extorting money is obviously much higher.

What's more, according to common sense, the nobles of Estera should be richer than those of Kuyel.

And even if he was discovered, with his current strength, Angana would not dare to directly fight with him.

After all, the quality of the soldiers in his team has more than doubled, and there are 231 Kuyers.

Team: 190/190

Robber leader × 10.

Bandit leader × 6

Robber leader × 32.

Experienced robber × 30 (staying in the manor)

Valandian crossbowman × 42.

Valandian spearman × 10.

Valandian conscripted crossbowman × 10 (staying in the stronghold before).

Valandian light infantry × 20.

Valandian recruit × 30 (newly recruited).

After taking a look at the team panel, Hod became more and more excited, with greed in his eyes. Together with the Kuyers, he has an army of nearly 400 people. Even if the old man Angana fights, he has enough strength to deal with it.

"Nott, go call Batu..."
