Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Compared with the Kingsley Manor when Hood left, the Kingsley Manor in front of him has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Looking around, Kingsley Manor is surrounded by lush green. It is an endless wheat field, forming a green ocean.

The wheat ears rise and fall with the wind. Each wheat ear is tall and green. They sway gently in the breeze. A burst of wheat fragrance drifts slowly with the breeze and enters Hood's nose. The unique fragrance makes him subconsciously take a deep breath.

From time to time, bursts of cattle and sheep calls came from the distance. Hood looked in the direction of the sound and his eyes fell on the distance, where the ranch planned before was located.

On the other side of the manor, a large area of ​​fruit forests stood, and the fruits bent the branches and swayed.

At this moment, whether it was the robbers, the Vlandia soldiers, or the shepherds, refugees, and slave soldiers, everyone stood there blankly as if they were under a spell, staring at the scene intently.

"Is this really Kingsley Manor?"

Suddenly, a discordant voice broke the silence, but it was Nott's face full of doubts, with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

Hearing this, Hood slowly turned his head to look at Nott who was shocked beside him, smiled and nodded, and praised: "Yes, Paul did a good job!"

"Tap tap..."

At this time, a sudden sound of horse hooves sounded, and the sudden sound made everyone's eyes look towards the direction of the manor gate.

With the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, a figure galloped over. Looking closely, it was Paul riding a horse, followed by several senior robbers.

In a blink of an eye, Paul had come to Hood. He pulled the reins suddenly, then jumped off the horse, walked forward a few steps quickly, and said loudly with excitement on his face: "Boss, you are finally back!"

Hood, standing in place, smiled and looked at Paul with a happy face in front of him, nodded gently, and responded: "Well, we are back."

After a brief greeting, the group began to deal with the follow-up matters.

Hood handed the refugees who were brought back to Paul for resettlement, while the slave soldiers and the herdsmen stayed outside the manor temporarily, led by a robber leader and some Vlandia soldiers.

After everything was arranged, Hood walked into the reception room. When he stepped into this hall that was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar, a long-lost sense of intimacy arose spontaneously.

He slowly walked to the main seat, sat down, and looked around at the furnishings and decorations around him.

For a moment, many memories came to his mind, making him sigh.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps at the door.

Then, a voice sounded: "Boss, everyone is here."

The person who spoke was Nott, who had been waiting outside the door. Hearing this, Hood nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and slightly adjusted his sitting posture.

The next second, Paul, Monkron, Kuhn and other backbones of Hood's team came in one after another. They saluted Hood, and then sat down at Hood's signal.

"Paul, tell me about the current situation of the manor first." Hood said with a slight pout, his eyes fixed on Paul in front of him, revealing a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Yes, boss."

Paul responded respectfully, and then slowly stood up. He first looked around at the people present, and when his eyes fell on Alder, he paused for a moment, but soon regained his normal expression, and then began to report to Hood:

"Boss, since you left with your brothers, I have been doing what you told me to do."

"First, I recruited some refugees from the surrounding areas, provided them with housing and job opportunities, and allowed them to settle down here."

"At the same time, I organized people to reclaim wasteland. In addition, according to your arrangements before you left, we built a pasture and planted various fruit trees in the surrounding open space."

At this point, Paul paused for a moment, As if he was organizing his thoughts, he continued, "As of now, our manor has a total of 189 people, including the herdsmen sent by Jules."

"Among them, there are more than 120 farmers responsible for farming. With their hard work, our farmland is constantly expanding."

"Now, the farmland for growing grains has reached more than 900 acres, and the fields for growing various vegetables have also reached more than 200 acres."

Paul took a deep breath and then introduced the situation of the ranch: "As for the ranch, after this period of development, we now have a total of 23 adult cattle, 6 calves, and 47 adult sheep."There are 58 horses, all of which are excellent breeds, and are very suitable for both farming and military purposes." Finally, Paul added: "Oh, I almost forgot to say that there are about 80 poultry in our manor. These poultry can not only provide eggs for everyone, but also become delicacies on the table when they grow up." After listening to Paul's detailed report, Hood nodded with satisfaction, expressing his satisfaction with the current development of the manor. "Paul, you did a good job! It turns out that handing over the manor to you is the wisest decision of all I have made." Hood looked at Paul with a smile, and did not hesitate to praise him. Then, he changed the subject and continued: "This time, I brought back more than 200 slaves and more than 100 refugees. Among these people, I will select those who are physically strong and incorporate them into our army. As for the rest, you will be responsible for unified deployment and arrangement. "

Here, Hood paused for a moment, drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then continued: "In addition, I also brought back hundreds of cattle and sheep this time. You send people to send them to the pasture to raise them."

"Of course, the more than one hundred war horses brought back with them cannot be handed over to you. I need to use these war horses to form a cavalry team!"

When Paul heard the word "cavalry team", a look of surprise instantly appeared on his face.

He couldn't help but feel very surprised, and blurted out: "Boss, don't you plan to train the new recruits of Valandia into cavalry? "

Paul's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

For a moment, not only Monkron and Kuhn, but also other people who had not paid much attention to this matter, all turned their eyes to Hood.

Especially Orville and Alder, who were new recruits from Vlandia, stared at Hood, eager to get the answer from him.

"Yeah."

Hood nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then said slowly: "There is not enough time, so instead of training them into heavy cavalry such as the Vlandia Vanguard Cavalry."

"In comparison, it is better to directly recruit those herdsmen into the army and form a cavalry unit, which will be formed faster, and..."

Speaking of this, Hood paused for a moment, his deep eyes met the people present, and a faint smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and then he said: "Don't forget, in the Vlandia army, who is the most powerful cavalry? "

As soon as the words fell, a loud shout rang out in the reception room: "Armored Knights with Square Banners!!!"
