Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

In the wilderness twenty miles away from Milda Castle, there is an open plain.

On this plain, a large-scale camp quietly stands, with tents arranged in a mess. At a glance, from the large number of tents, it can be judged that there are at least 3,000 troops stationed here.

At this time, at the gate of the camp, a middle-aged heavy-armored knight with stubble and burly figure was sitting on a tall unarmored warhorse.

He received an order from Marquis Angana to patrol the nearby area.

He lightly squeezed the horse's belly, and the warhorse under him started to move forward slowly. Following him out of the camp, there were six or seven attendants wearing chain mail.

"Humph! That damn low-class pariah, Lord Angana entrusted him with the important task of pioneering, and he dared to play missing so irresponsibly!" The middle-aged knight rode forward, cursing angrily in a low voice.

Hearing the knight's complaint, a servant hurriedly drove his horse closer and said cautiously: "Lord Mander, calm down. Perhaps the situation is not as you think. Maybe the pariah who got the title of knight just because of luck has been beheaded by the brutal Kuyel people."

The servant's words seemed to comfort the middle-aged knight a little.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked the messy stubble on his chin, and muttered to himself: "Well... you are right. It has been nearly a month, but there is still no news about that guy..."

Seeing that his knight's attitude has eased, the servant hurriedly smiled and agreed: "Yes, sir. In my opinion, this is probably the case. How can that ignorant guy be a match for the Kuyel people?"

"Hahahaha! I hope it is true as you said, he has died. Otherwise, if I see him again, I will definitely teach him what a real knight is!" The middle-aged knight raised his head and laughed loudly, and the laughter spread far and wide in the open wilderness.

The servants following behind him heard the sound and hurriedly squeezed out a smile and laughed loudly.

"Okay, let's go and take a look nearby. Don't let those Kuyel barbarians touch the nearby." The middle-aged knight smiled for a while, then put away his smile, squeezed his legs hard, and galloped away on his horse.

The attendants followed one after another, and in an instant, the sound of horse hooves echoed throughout the wilderness.

In a dense forest about three miles away from the camp, Batu carefully raised his head and looked around vigilantly.

Suddenly, his sight stopped not far ahead, and he saw a huge, thick-haired bear walking out of the depths of the forest with slow and heavy steps.

After the bear stood still, the tip of its nose twitched a few times, and then it turned its head, staring at Batu and others with fierce eyes from a distance, as if evaluating the strength of these "foods" in front of it.

Seeing this, Batu took a deep breath, and then he reached out and pulled out a flat-headed arrow from the quiver behind him, and skillfully placed it on the bowstring.

Then, he pulled the bowstring tightly with his arm, and the arrow was aimed at the giant bear that was gradually approaching, and the whole person showed a posture of being ready to go.

At this time, there were three other bandit leaders beside Batu.

They had heavy recurve bows hanging around their waists and crescent-shaped swords tightly grasped in their hands.

Facing such a ferocious beast, the three of them looked a little nervous, but they still firmly took a fighting posture.

Looking a little further away, there were two rangers standing there.

While they gently soothed several restless war horses, they closely watched the development of the situation.

Those war horses obviously felt the threat from the giant bear. They kept pawing their hooves and their bodies trembled because of extreme fear.

However, despite being full of fear, these war horses never had the courage to turn their heads and run away or make a terrified neigh, as if they were afraid that their actions would attract the attention of the giant bear and bring about a fatal disaster.

For a while, the whole forest fell into a deathly silence, with only the occasional rustling sound of the breeze blowing the leaves.

Everyone present held their breath, staring at the giant bear with eyes wide open, their muscles tensed, ready to fight hard.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and perhaps because they realized that Batu and others were not easy to deal with, the originally aggressive giant bear actually began to slowly retreat.

As its figure gradually disappeared into the forest, this thrilling confrontation finally ended in an unexpected way.

"This bear has eaten people..."

Batu put down the grassland heavy recurve bow in his hand with a solemn expression, and after a long sigh, he slowly spoke.

"Batu, what are you doing?Know?"

A bandit leader turned his head, his eyes full of confusion and curiosity.

Batu smiled, did not answer his question, then put the bow and arrow back on the saddle, and waved his hand, signaling everyone to get on the horse and continue the mission.

"Batu, we have been hanging around here for two days, and we haven't seen any Estera nobles come out." Another bandit leader said after sorting out his weapons and equipment.

After speaking, he turned over neatly and sat steadily on the horse's back.

Just then, a bandit leader in the team suddenly changed his face, and saw him quickly jumped off the horse's back, and the whole person lay directly on the ground, with his ears close to the ground, as if listening to something.

A few seconds later, the bandit leader raised his head and said to Batu in a low voice: "Batu, someone is coming, at least five riders! "

Hearing this, Batu frowned, dismounted, bent down and put his ear to the ground. After a while, Batu stood up and corrected with a serious expression: "It's not five riders, it's eight riders!"

"After waiting for so long, it's finally time to fight! Get ready for battle!!!"

The bandit leader who received the order dismounted immediately, leaving two rangers to watch the horses, while Batu and his four companions walked out of the forest with bows and arrows and crescent-shaped swords.

Sent out by Hod this time, Batu and his party took less than three or four days to find the camp where the Angana army was stationed.

Since this matter was not suitable for a large group of people to act, Hod only sent four bandit leaders including Batu, assisted by two rangers.

However, due to the strict security of the camp, they could not directly enter the camp to kidnap people. The six of them had been staying in the forest two miles away from the camp, waiting for the opportunity, and now they finally got it.

"Tap tap..."

The sound of horse hooves approached, and eight figures gradually became clear.

Batu licked his lips, and slowly aimed the heavy recurve bow in his hand at the leading knight. The other three bandit leaders and two rangers also raised their bows and arrows at the other knights.

As they got closer and closer, Batu and his men held their breath, and when the opponent was only fifty or sixty steps away from them, a loud roar rang out.

"Shoot!"
