Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

"As you wish, Your Majesty." The Chief Minister responded respectfully.

Although he was a little confused about Hod's reluctance to send a messenger to inform his country of the establishment of the "Holy Roman Empire", he still chose to obey the order of his lord.

After a pause, the Chief Minister continued to ask: "So, Your Majesty, will our country's flag still use the blood lion flag?"

After saying that, he frowned slightly, as if he had his own opinion on the flag that Hod's team was using.

After all, although the blood lion flag gave people a strong sense of solemnity, from the overall image and symbolic meaning, it was obviously not suitable to be used as a country's official national flag.

Hod fell into deep thought after hearing this, and he thought quickly in his mind.

After a brief consideration, he made a decision in his heart. Since it has been decided to name this newly established country "Holy Roman Empire", then he might as well directly adopt the national flag used by the famous Holy Roman Empire in his previous life.

Having made up his mind, Hood said, "Well, we will no longer use the blood lion flag, but a flag with a white background and a black double-headed eagle pattern."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hood seemed to suddenly remember something and added, "When I have free time, I will personally draw the design of this national flag and give it to you. At that time, you can arrange people to make the actual object according to the drawing."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Chief Minister responded quickly, with a look of relief on his face.

After receiving clear instructions, he knew how to carry out this task next.

The Chief Minister nodded respectfully in response, and then bowed deeply again, saying in a gentle manner: "Your Majesty, then I will take my leave first. I still need to understand the specific affairs of Rhine Town to facilitate the handling of related matters in the future."

"Well, you go ahead." Hood nodded slightly to indicate his agreement.

After the Chief Minister turned around and left, the tall military and political minister strode forward.

He first performed a standard noble salute to Hod, then with a solemn face, he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, our country is just newly established, and the army we have is only the less than 200 soldiers under your command."

"Do we need to form a patrol team? To protect our town and the surrounding villages and people?"

Form a patrol team?

When Hod heard this, his heart was moved and his eyes lit up instantly.

Could it be that this military and political minister, like himself, could recruit and summon soldiers from the Calradia continent and make them truly manifest in this world?

Thinking of this, Hod could no longer suppress his curiosity and excitement, and blurted out: "You can also recruit soldiers?"

There was a surprise that was difficult to conceal between his words.

"Your Excellency, yes."

"As the country's military and political minister, I have the power to recruit and form patrols to protect our people from criminals and other countries. I must ensure the safety of our country's villages and towns." The military and political minister replied solemnly.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, as if he had some concerns in his heart, and then slowly asked: "However, Your Majesty, it will cost a certain amount of money to form a patrol."

Hearing this, Hood couldn't help but frowned and asked: "It takes money? How much?"

The military and political minister bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, patrols are divided into large, medium and small according to their size, and the costs are different."

Hood continued to ask: "Then how much does each of these three sizes cost?"

The military and political minister recalled and explained in detail: "If a small patrol is formed, it will only cost about 1,000 gold dragons."

"There will be a Valan in a small patrol. The Diya Banner Knight will serve as the captain of the patrol team, and he will also be equipped with five Vlandian chivalrous cavalry, twenty Vlandian crossbowmen and forty Vlandian spearmen. "

"Although they are not many in number, they are all elite and can handle most battles."

After a short pause, the military official continued: "If you want to form a medium-sized patrol team, you will have to spend more money, about 5,000 gold dragons."

"A patrol team of this size includes three Vlandian Banner Knights, five Vlandian elite knights, in addition, twenty Vlandian crossbowmen and sixty Vlandian hook soldiers."

"And a large patrol team will cost 10,000 gold dragons, including ten Vlandian Banner Knights, ten Vlandian elite knights, and sixty Vlandian hook soldiers."

"And a large patrol team will cost 10,000 gold dragons, including ten Vlandian Banner Knights, ten Vlandian elite knights, and sixty Vlandian hook soldiers."Dia Elite Knights, 40 Vlandian Vanguard Cavalry, 40 Vlandian Crossbowmen, 40 Vlandian Hook Scythe Soldiers, and 40 Vlandian Swordsmen. "

After the prices and personnel composition of the three patrols were explained in detail, the Minister of Military Affairs respectfully asked the adults in front of him: "Your Majesty, what size of patrol do you think we should form?"

Hearing this question, Hod, who was originally sitting upright, couldn't help but show a little embarrassment on his face.

Which one to choose?

No matter which one, he can't form it at present!

You know, even now, the balance in his backpack has never exceeded 1,000 gold dragons!

"Ahem... um... that, for the time being, let's not consider forming a patrol. "

"You are new here and are not familiar with this world yet. Let's go and get to know it well first, and when the time is right in the future, we will discuss this matter together. "Hod said, his face slightly flushed, obviously trying to find a way out for himself.

After hearing this, the military minister looked at Hod with a slightly strange look in his eyes, but he didn't say much after all, just sighed secretly in his heart.

"Your Majesty, there is another crucial matter that needs your decision..." The military minister did not turn around and leave as expected, but took another step forward and continued solemnly.

Hood, who was sitting in the lord's seat, couldn't help but look puzzled and asked, "Oh? What else?"

The military minister took a deep breath, and then slowly said, "Your Majesty, Rhine Town is the only town in our empire, and its strategic position is crucial."

"For the safety of our capital, I think it is necessary to send a garrison here to guard it. In this way, it can not only prevent foreign invasion, but also maintain the security and stability of the town."

Hearing this question, Hod's tense face relaxed a little, he nodded gently to show his agreement, and responded, "Well, it's okay. I will withdraw some troops from the team and station them in Rhine Town. "

After saying this, he had a thought, and then a team panel showing detailed information of the army appeared in his retina.

When Hood saw the data in front of him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He saw that the team limit of 190 people had become 400 people at this moment.

The team limit has increased so much?

Is it because of self-reliance?

Hood murmured in a low voice...
