Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Rhine Town, this once peaceful and tranquil town is now filled with tension and anxiety.

During the previous roundup of Hood, the town guards suffered heavy losses, and more than half of the more than 200 guards were lost.

Although Conrad quickly took measures to recruit a group of new members from the residents and mercenaries in the town to supplement the guards.

But with the eastward invasion of the Kuyers, facing a powerful foreign enemy, Marquis Angarna withdrew half of the town's troops.

As a result, the Rhine Town Guards, which had just recovered their strength, became weak again, and there were only about 100 guards left in the town.

At the same time, due to the rampage of the Kuyers in the east, countless farmers were displaced, and a large number of refugees flooded everywhere like a tide.

As a marquisate in the north, Rhine Town was naturally not immune.

A large number of refugees poured in here, hoping to find a safe place to stay. As a result, the gates on both sides of the town were crowded with people, and there were noises, shouts, and clamor everywhere.

"Everyone line up! Otherwise, no one can enter the town."

The guards shouted loudly, trying to maintain order.

But the refugees were terrified and wanted to squeeze into the city. The scene was extremely chaotic. In the end, it was only under the tough measures of the guards that the refugees barely lined up into long winding dragons.

At this time, a horrifying scene happened!

I saw blood-red lion flags suddenly appearing in the wilderness. These flags fluttered in the wind and rustled, as if announcing the coming of a bloody massacre.

On the top of the flag was a shriveled human head!

Those heads looked hideous, and the empty eye sockets seemed to still retain the last fear and despair of life.

With the appearance of the flag, waves of "tap-tap" footsteps came from far and near, deafening.

This sound was like rolling thunder, continuous, which made people's heart beat faster and their breathing quickened.

Hod rode on a warhorse and stopped at a higher place.

He stopped his horse and looked far away, and he could clearly see the countless black figures outside the Rhine Town.

This sudden army instantly made the refugees at the city gate, who were originally in good order, fall into extreme panic and chaos.

People began to push and crowd frantically, rushing towards the city gate regardless of everything. The order that had just been maintained with great difficulty collapsed in the blink of an eye.

Under Hod's gaze, he saw several horse guards running towards this side.

Judging from their unprepared posture, they were obviously here to question their identity and origin.

Faced with this situation, Hood just raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then he raised his right hand and waved it gently.

In an instant, a sharp whistle sounded.

Then, more than a dozen agile rangers roared down from the high ground and rushed directly towards the guards who were riding horses.

These rangers were extremely rampant. Instead of taking out bows and arrows for long-range attacks, they drew out their melee weapons, shouted wildly, and rushed towards the horse guards who were running.

The horse guards who came to investigate the situation realized that something was wrong, and they were horrified. They turned their horses around and tried to escape from this dangerous place.

However, everything was too late.

The dozen rangers quickly dispersed with their superb riding skills, forming a tight encirclement, trapping the guards who were trying to escape.

With a roar, the dozen rangers raised their scimitars and short spears at the same time and rushed towards the trapped horse guards.

In an instant, shouts and clashes of weapons resounded through the sky.

Unfortunately, these horse guards were far inferior to the Kuyel rangers in terms of both number and riding skills.

Not long after, screams were heard, and then the horse guards fell off their horses and fell heavily to the ground, their lives unknown.

Several extremely fierce rangers jumped off their horses, picked up the hand axes on their waists, and chopped at the fallen guards without hesitation.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and as the rangers raised their axes and fell, several bloody heads were chopped off and tied to their respective saddles.

After doing all this, they got on their horses again, under the envious and awe-inspiring gazes of their companions, and ran towards the Rhine Town with shouts.

Seeing this, the other rangers followed.

"It's the Kuyel people!!!""Everyone, run! If you don't run, you'll die!!!"

The panic spread like a plague.

"Please, let me in! Let me in!!!"

At the gate of the city, the refugees, who were already panicking, became even more chaotic, scrambling to squeeze into the city.

Even the guards who were responsible for maintaining order were caught up in the chaotic crowd under the impact of the surging flow of people and completely lost control of the situation.

"Close the gate!!! Close the gate quickly!!!"

The face of a guard captain changed drastically, and he roared and screamed.

"Captain, there are still our people outside!"

A young guard looked at his companions struggling in the crowd, held the gate, hesitated, and shouted loudly.

"Ignore them!!! Close the door quickly!!! If those Kuyel people rush in, we'll all be finished!!!"

Accompanied by this hoarse roar, the guards who were still hesitant turned pale and terrified. They pushed the heavy oak door in a hurry, trying to close it as soon as possible.

At the same time, other guards waved their short spears with ferocious faces, mercilessly beating the refugees who ran into the corridor.

While shouting and cursing, they waved their weapons vigorously to drive the refugees in the corridor out of the city.

"Master guard, please be kind and let us in!"

Seeing that the guards were so cruel and ruthless, the refugees knelt down and cried for mercy.

However, the guards were not moved at all and continued to drive them away, while they kept yelling: "Get out of here!"

At this time, the captain of the guard stood aside, looking at the chaotic scene in front of him anxiously.

Seeing that there were still many refugees crowding forward, he made up his mind and drew the dagger at his waist without hesitation, slashing at the crowd.

There was a muffled sound of "Puchi", and a refugee fell to the ground with a scream, and the bright red blood quickly flowed out from under him, staining the ground red.

This bloody and cruel scene stunned all the guards and refugees present, and for a while, the whole scene fell into a dead silence.

"If you don't get out, I will kill you now!!!"

The captain of the guard roared loudly, his eyes wide open, staring at the ragged, pale and thin refugees in front of him, with an unstoppable killing intent in his eyes.

Seeing this, the other guards gritted their teeth, raised their sharp short spears, and shouted in unison: "Get out!!!"

For a while, the shouts and screams resounded throughout the corridor.

Faced with these ruthless guards, the refugees showed despair on their faces.

They originally just wanted to come to this town to seek a glimmer of life, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

However, as the sound of horse hooves came from behind, getting closer and closer.

The refugees were shocked and immediately reacted. If they delayed any longer, they might lose their lives.

So, they didn't care about much, and crawled out of the corridor and fled in other directions.

Seeing that the refugees had fled, the captain of the guards relaxed his tense heartstrings a little.

But he knew that it was not safe at this moment, so he waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Close the door!!!"

Accompanied by a "creaking" sound, the heavy town gate slowly closed and was finally tightly closed.

The captain of the guard hiding behind the door finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then, as if he suddenly remembered something important, he quickly reached out and grabbed a guard beside him, and ordered: "Quick! Go and inform Lord Conrad that the Kuyel people are coming!"

The guard did not dare to hesitate for a moment after hearing this, and turned around and ran towards the center of the town, disappearing at the end of the street in the blink of an eye.
