Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Seeing that the heavily armored knight had given up resistance and surrendered obediently, Batu slowly put away the gleaming crescent blade in his hand.

Then, he quickly turned to the two bandit leaders beside him and signaled them to dismount and tie up the heavily armored knight in front of them.

At this moment, the battle on the other side was also over. Another attendant was also successfully subdued by the bandit leader. He was as pale as paper, his body trembling like a leaf in the wind, and he fell to his knees with a plop, shivering constantly.

Batu walked up to the desperate servant, smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, little guy."

After speaking, he paused for a moment, and then said, "I can let you go now, but remember, you must bring enough ransom to redeem your master, the knight, when you go back."

The servant came to his senses instantly after hearing this, and nodded hurriedly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

The heavily armored knight who was tied up on the side had a tense face and looked extremely nervous, but when he heard Batu say that he would be released as long as he paid the ransom, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise and asked in disbelief: "Really? As long as I pay you the ransom, you will let me go?"

Batu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and replied: "Yes, as long as you pay the ransom, we will naturally let you go."

After hearing this, the expression on the heavily armored knight's face instantly became complicated, with a glimmer of hope and some doubts.

He was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing the pros and cons in his mind. After a long while, he finally mustered up the courage and asked carefully in a low voice: "So... how much ransom do you want?"

Faced with this key question raised by the heavy-armored knight, Batu was a little hesitant for a moment.

Before setting off, Hod only ordered him to collect as much ransom as possible, but did not give a specific number.

This question from the heavy-armored knight made Batu a little troubled.

"Fifty gold dragons?"

Batu narrowed his eyes slightly, thought about it for a long time, and then asked in a cautious and slightly tentative tone.

After all, before this, it was not surprising that the noble young man from Kuyel, as a small leader of the Duoyan tribe, could easily take out 180 gold dragons.

However, the heavy-armored knight in front of him, no matter from which angle, did not look like a rich man.

"What! Fifty gold dragons!!!"

Just as Batu finished speaking, the heavily armored knight suddenly widened his eyes, opened his mouth wide, and his face was full of disbelief, and he couldn't help but screamed out.

"Uh..."

Seeing the heavily armored knight's inappropriate reaction, Batu's heart suddenly hung in his throat, and he began to beat up and down instantly.

Is it because he asked for too high a price?

For a moment, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind.

But before Batu had time to think about it, he saw the heavily armored knight took a deep breath, then nodded vigorously, and said firmly: "Okay, fifty gold dragons!"

Hearing this, Batu was stunned on the spot.

Damn, it's too little!

In an instant, a strong sense of regret surged into his heart, and Batu felt that his heart seemed to be tugged hard, and it hurt a lot.

If I had known that the other party was so straightforward, I should have asked for more!

But the words have been spoken, and it is hard to take them back. Although Batu was once an outlaw, he has always kept his word.

Now that he has already quoted a price of fifty gold royals, even if he knows that he has suffered a great loss, he really can't bring himself to change his words and raise the price.

The conversation between the two was also heard by the other three bandit leaders, and at this moment they could not help but look at each other.

"You can leave now, brat! But if you dare to bring people here, hum, be careful that I will cut off the head of your knight!"

Batu glared at the attendant in front of him fiercely. Although he was extremely dissatisfied with the amount of ransom for this transaction, he could only swallow his anger at this point.

When the attendant heard this, his body trembled involuntarily and his face turned pale.

However, he also knew that the situation was stronger than he was, so he didn't dare to disobey, and nodded timidly: "Yes... yes."

There were only four people in this kidnapping operation, including himself, and two rangers in charge of watching the horses, a total of six people.

If this servant really brought a large number of people to kill, it would be difficult for them to resist with their limited manpower.

"Lord Man... Lord Mander, please rest assured, I will definitely come to rescue you with the ransom as soon as possible..."

Before leaving, the servant had notForget to express his loyalty to the heavily armored knight who was tied up.

When the servant's figure gradually disappeared from sight, Batu rudely grabbed the heavily armored knight on the ground and dragged him into the woods next to him like a dead dog.

Then, he picked a thick tree at random, tied the unlucky guy to the trunk, and ignored him. He and the other three bandit leaders and the two rangers who were watching the horses took out dry food and water from their bags and chewed and swallowed them.

"Hey, who are you? Why do you do this? Don't you know that we are fighting with the Kuyel people now?"

Perhaps realizing that his life was not in danger for the time being, the heavily armored knight trapped in the tree finally couldn't hold back his doubts and asked with courage.

After all, Batu and the other four were all wearing heavy scale armor and tassel-covered helmets. From the appearance alone, they didn't look like criminals at all.

However, the fact is that Batu and his four men were extremely strong, and their archery skills left the heavily armored knight with lingering fears.

The scene at that time was still vivid in his mind. If he had not cleverly ordered his servants to hide behind the corpse of the warhorse as a cover, he would have been shot dead on the spot by Batu and his four men.

"Don't ask so many questions. The more you know, the faster you die!" Batu glanced at the heavily armored knight coldly and said this indifferently.

After that, he stretched out his hand to tear off a small piece of dry and hard bread, and then stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly with an expressionless face.
