Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

"Minister Eli, what's in these boxes?"

Looking at the boxes that the light infantry carried into the hall, Hood couldn't help but ask with doubts.

Chief Minister Eli bowed slightly, smiled, and replied in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, these are what I found in the castle just now... I think the things inside should be what Your Majesty urgently needs."

After speaking, Eli's face was covered with a gentle and humble smile.

"Oh? What I urgently need?"

Hearing what Eli said, Hood became more curious. As he spoke, he stood up from his seat and walked hurriedly towards the boxes.

Then, he slightly pursed his lips and signaled the light infantry to open the box.

As the lid of the box was slowly opened, a dazzling golden light flashed by in an instant.

After everyone saw what was hidden in the box, Hood's curious face froze instantly, and time seemed to stop at this moment.

However, just a moment later, the stiffness on Huo De's face was replaced by uncontrollable ecstasy.

Moreover, compared with the previous time, the joy this time was obviously more turbulent.

Among the five wooden boxes, there were two wooden boxes full of golden dragons!

And the other three wooden boxes were all filled with silver deer with glittering silver light without exception!

"This... this..."

Huo De's eyes widened, looking at the gold and silver in the wooden box in disbelief, and he was speechless for a while because of excessive excitement.

He stretched out his hands tremblingly, and couldn't wait to grab a handful of golden dragons from the wooden box and held them tightly in his hands.

At this moment, thousands of words seemed to be stuck in his throat, making Huo De so excited that he didn't know how to express his inner feelings.

"Hahaha..."

A burst of extremely excited laughter suddenly resounded throughout the hall, and the laughter contained uncontrollable joy and excitement.

Hod turned around abruptly, his eyes fixed on the chief minister with a gentle smile on his face.

His face flushed, and he was a little out of breath because of excessive laughter, but he still couldn't hide his ecstasy.

He said loudly: "Minister Ian, you are so right! These things are what I need most urgently at the moment... Hahaha..."

As soon as the voice fell, Hod directly connected to the system, and as his thoughts moved slightly, he saw that the balance in his backpack, which was originally only in the double digits, began to soar rapidly at an astonishing speed.

32 gold dragons, 2 silver deer, 35 bronze sheep...

168 gold dragons, 6 silver deer, 35 bronze sheep...

532 gold dragons, 1 silver deer, 35 bronze sheep...

1876 gold dragons, 8 silver deer, 35 bronze sheep...

3982 gold dragons, 4 silver deer, 35 bronze sheep...

6218 gold dragons, 6 silver deer, 35 bronze sheep...

The balance value was like a rocket that was ignited, soaring all the way up, without any sign of stopping.

Every time the number jumped, Huo De's heart also jumped.

Finally, when the last box full of silver deer was emptied, the balance in the system backpack stayed at the amazing number of 9423 gold dragons, 5 silver deer, and 35 bronze sheep.

More than 9,000 gold dragons!

Looking at the long string of numbers in the backpack, Huo De's eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and he muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Your Majesty...Rhine Town is now at a critical stage of development, and we still need your strong support..."

Just when Hood's mouth was grinning more and more, almost unable to close, the Minister of Finance, who had been silent all the time, suddenly stepped forward, with his signature smile on his face, and whispered this sentence.

"Hmm?"

Hearing the voice, Hood turned around abruptly, his eyes fell directly on the Minister of Finance in front of him who looked like an old fox, and his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"How much?" Hood asked in a somewhat stiff tone.

The Minister of Finance's eyes, which were originally not big, narrowed slightly, and began to move his skinny fingers, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, first of all, we need to form a caravan, so as to promote trade, and secondly, the city defense fortifications need to be strengthened to ensure the safety of the town.

"Besides, the buildings in the city that were damaged in the battle also need to be repaired. "

"Moreover, most importantly, we must form a patrol team to ensure that the people in our empire are not harmed by lawless people."

"After comprehensive consideration, I think that 8,000 gold royals may be a more appropriate number."

"How much!!!"

When Hod heard the astonishing amount of money from the Minister of Finance, he was shocked and couldn't help but screaming..

This exclamation immediately echoed in the spacious hall, attracting everyone's attention.

"Eight thousand gold dragons, your Majesty."

The Minister of Finance remained calm and respectful, and saluted Hood and repeated his words.

"Five thousand? Leave some for your Majesty..."

Hood quickly glanced at the people in the hall with the corner of his eye, and whispered to the Minister of Finance in a low voice.

In Hood's extremely expectant eyes, the Minister of Finance shook his head slightly, then lowered his voice and said very seriously: "Your Majesty, this money must be spent!"

"Whether it is strengthening the city defense fortifications, repairing those buildings, forming a caravan that can bring in money, or recruiting a patrol team, each of these tasks requires a lot of money!

"However, your Majesty, please believe me, these expenses will surely allow our empire to have a more glorious future! "

Hod stared at the serious-looking finance minister in front of him, wishing he could raise his fist and hit the other's annoying face hard.

But he knew very well in his heart that every word the finance minister said was reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it.

Although his heart was already filled with resentment, he could only suppress the impulsive emotion.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Hod finally gritted his teeth, and saw a flash of light, and a full eight thousand golden dragon coins shining with golden light appeared in front of him in an instant.

Then, Hod looked up at the ceiling and said with heartache: "Eight thousand gold dragons, for you!!! "

The Minister of Finance looked at the scattered golden dragons, chuckled, and then put 7,000 golden dragons into the treasury, but did not take the remaining 1,000.

The Minister of Military Affairs, who had been eyeing the situation, stepped forward and waved his hand. A thousand golden dragons disappeared immediately. Then he bowed to Hood and said, "Your Majesty, I will use this money to form a small patrol team as soon as possible to ensure the safety of our territory and the people!"

Hood thought that the Minister of Military Affairs would directly materialize the patrol team into this world like he did when recruiting instructors before, but the patrol team did not appear.

"Your Majesty, they have already started patrolling outside the city..."

When Hood asked, the Minister of Military Affairs gave such an answer.
