Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

At this moment, the huge training ground was crowded with people, and the remaining herdsmen and slave soldiers were all excited.

Their fiery eyes were fixed on the figure on the platform - Hod.

Everyone's face was flushed with extreme excitement, and the excitement was beyond words.

"Are you envious?"

Hod, standing on the platform, suddenly roared, and his voice resounded throughout the training ground.

Boom! !

This roar was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves.

A deafening response immediately broke out in the crowd: "Envy!!!"

Then, Hod asked again: "Do you want cattle and sheep?"

"Yes!!!"

People responded in unison.

"Do you want land?" Hod continued to shout.

"Yes!!!"

This time the response was louder and more resolute, and the desire gushing out from the depths of their hearts made the veins on their necks bulge when they responded.

"Then fight!!! As long as you fight, everything is yours!!!" Hod raised his arms and shouted, his words were full of temptation.

"Fight!!!"

"Fight!!!"

The crowd raised their strong arms and shouted with Hod, their shouts resounded through the world, making the whole training ground tremble.

Looking at the red faces under the stage due to excitement, Hod's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.

Then he raised his voice and said loudly: "Very good! In this case, then join my army! Fight for cattle and sheep, fight for land, and fight for me!!!"

"Roar... Chief Hod!!!"

The atmosphere at this time has been extremely heated, and everyone in the crowd seems to have a raging fire in their hearts, ready to erupt.

They raised their arms high and vented their surging emotions to their heart's content.

"But not everyone is qualified to join my army. Only those who are strong and healthy can get the opportunity to join!"

"But you don't have to worry. As long as you work hard to exercise and hone your fighting skills, sooner or later you will be selected."

Hod's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a faint smile. He turned his head to look at Batu and Monklon behind him, and lowered his voice and ordered: "Batu, Monklon, go pick people."

After receiving the order, Batu and Monklon did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly responded.

Then, they called several robber leaders to walk down the platform together and slowly walked into the crowded crowd.

Looking at Batu, Monklon and others who walked into the crowd, everyone's eyes showed expectations, staring at Batu and others who were selecting people, and deep in their hearts they were extremely eager to be the lucky one.

"You, and you, yes, you guys, from today on, you will be one of my Rangers!"

Batu's eyes were like torches, sweeping across the dense crowd in front of him. Whenever he found a qualified candidate, he would raise his hand without hesitation, point his index finger straight at the other person, and signal him to leave his original position and go to the side to wait for further instructions.

Those who were fortunate enough to be named by Batu became excited in an instant. They suppressed their inner joy, hurriedly separated from the crowd around them, stood in the designated area, and waited for the follow-up arrangements with joy.

After screening, only more than 140 people were selected from the more than 300 people who originally participated in the selection.

More than 140 people, one-third of them joined the Rangers, and the rest would be reorganized into shock cavalry and handed over to Ashilan.

With the injection of this batch of fresh blood, the size of the cavalry team controlled by Hod expanded rapidly, reaching more than 160 people.

However, for those who failed to be selected, Hood also gave them hope, asking them to temporarily obey Paul's orders, and made it clear that when the time is right in the future, he will still select suitable candidates from this group to supplement the cavalry.

After all matters were properly deployed, Hood immediately ordered Nott to summon Paul, Monklon and other relevant personnel to the reception room again.

When everyone sat around the long conference table, Hood glanced at the faces of everyone present, then took a deep breath and slowly said: "I plan to send troops to capture Rhine Town!"

As soon as the voice fell, Paul stood up suddenly, his face full of astonishment, and shouted in disbelief: "Boss, attack Rhine Town?"

Faced with Paul's surprise, Hood nodded solemnly and responded: "Yes."

Then, he turned his eyes back to the people on both sides of the long tableOn the person, he explained in a low voice: "Although the Kuyel people are still stranded in the eastern border of the kingdom, I judge that it will not take too long before they will continue to advance into our hinterland."

"At that time, we will inevitably fight with them, but it is almost impossible to resist their attack with our existing military strength alone, so we must seize the time to strengthen our own strength, so that we can turn the tide of the war."

"However, now the situation we are facing has reached a stalemate, and the road to development has entered a bottleneck stage."

"If we want to achieve further development and growth, and then expand our own strength, then there is no doubt that expanding our existing territory will become a top priority!"

"Only in this way can we obtain a wider territory and sufficient resource reserves, so as to have a larger basic chassis to support and maintain our growing needs."

"Whether it is military strength or various strategic materials, we need a wider geographical scope as a support, and we also need a lot of manpower to join."

"The larger the territory we control, the more resources we can use."

"That's why my ultimate goal is not just limited to a Rhine town. I want to take the entire Marquisate into my pocket!"

"This opportunity is rare. The old man, Marquis Angarna, took away most of the troops in the Marquisate and suffered heavy losses from the Kuyer people. This undoubtedly creates an excellent opportunity for us."

"Now, we can be regarded as the strongest force in the entire Marquisate. No one or force can stop us."

I saw a trace of almost crazy look gradually appearing on Hood's face. When he was on his way back to the manor, this idea had been lingering in his mind for a long time.

He was not satisfied with only being able to control a manor as big as a territory. He wanted to have more territory, he wanted to have more soldiers, and he wanted to be king.

"Boss, I will obey all your decisions."

After listening to Hood's explanation, Kuhn and Jeff stood up first.

"Boss, your wish is our goal."

"Boss, we should have taken over Rhine Town long ago!"

At this time, everyone stood up and expressed their support. Their faces were either excited or ferocious, and they were eager to try.

"Then, everyone, prepare for war!"

"Yes, Boss!"
