Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

"Dean, can we only form a patrol team?"

When Hood heard that the patrol team had already started patrolling outside the city, he looked at the military minister in front of him and asked curiously.

The military minister bowed his head slightly and responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, yes, each town can only form a patrol team."

"However, the size of the patrol team can be determined by us according to the actual situation." After saying that, the military minister raised his head slightly and observed the changes in Hood's expression.

After listening to the military minister's explanation, Hood nodded thoughtfully.

The military minister spoke again: "Your Majesty, if there is no other business that needs me, then I will withdraw first. The training of those newly recruited soldiers still needs me to arrange and deploy!"

Hood nodded slightly and responded in a calm tone: "Well, okay, then you go and get busy first." After getting permission, the military minister saluted and turned away.

Then, the Chief Minister and the Minister of Finance saw this and came forward to salute and say goodbye to Hod. After the three ministers left, the hall suddenly became quiet.

The robbers and the Valandian soldiers stood aside, quietly looking at Hod, waiting for his instructions.

Hod slowly walked back to the luxurious chair belonging to the lord, and then sat down gently.

He took a deep breath, calmed down, and then opened the team panel. He had been communicating with the three ministers, and had not had time to upgrade the soldiers.

[Upgradeable troops: Senior robbers × 14]

[Upgradeable troops: Valandian conscripted crossbowmen × 20]

[Upgradeable troops: Valandian recruits × 29]

Looking at all the upgradeable troops, Hod directly upgraded all the soldiers.

Fortunately, the rangers and shock cavalry were not in the castle, which allowed Hod to upgrade the soldiers in the team without fear of being discovered by people in this world.

As the soldiers were upgraded, Hod recruited another 280 new Vlandian soldiers to complete his team.

Team: 400/400

15 robber leaders (fifth-level troops)

6 bandit leaders (fifth-level troops)

15 elite robbers (third-level troops)

50 Vlandian crossbowmen (third-level troops)

14 Vlandian spearmen (third-level troops)

10 Vlandian light infantrymen (second-level troops)

10 Vlandian servants (second-level troops)

280 Vlandian recruits (first-level troops)

Looking at the 400 soldiers neatly arranged on the team panel, Hod's chest suddenly surged with a heroic feeling.

With these numerous and loyal soldiers as the backing, he will definitely be able to create a powerful empire!

Just as Hod was immersed in his reverie about the future, he was imagining how he would lead this team to fight in the south and the north, expand the territory, and continuously expand the territory of the empire.

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from outside the hall, and then a burly and rough-faced bandit leader ran into the hall.

He knelt down slightly to salute, and then reported: "Boss! The brothers captured a group of guys who tried to escape from the town at the east gate. Now we don't know how to deal with them. Please give me your instructions!"

Hmm?

Hearing this, the originally high-spirited Hood's face suddenly changed, his eyebrows twisted into a knot, and two sharp eyes shot straight at the bandit leader, asking in a deep voice: "Who are they?"

Faced with Hood's inquiry, the bandit leader did not dare to be negligent, and immediately replied: "After a preliminary investigation, some of these people are merchants doing business in the town."

"Most of the others are mercenaries and bounty hunters who resisted us before, and there are also many ordinary residents in the town who were forcibly conscripted into the army at that time, as well as their families and relatives."

"Haha... You dared to resist us before, and now you want to leave, dreaming!" Hood couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then, he waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Let's go! Nott, Monkron, take your brothers and follow me!"

Before he finished speaking, Hood had already strode out of the door, followed by a group of aggressive robbers and Valandian soldiers.

At this moment, the atmosphere at the east gate of Rhine Town was tense and solemn.

I saw two or three hundred people were firmly blocked by the cavalry led by Batu.

Surprisingly, although the other side had far more people than their own, none of these people dared to stand up and resist.On the contrary, everyone was terrified and crouched on the ground trembling.

"Humph, with your little courage, you dared to resist us before? You really overestimate your own abilities!" Riding on an armored warhorse, Batu's eyes were as cold as frost, and he glanced at the trembling people in front of him with undisguised contempt, and said sarcastically.

However, it was not that these people did not want to fight back, but that those warriors who dared to resist had already fallen in a pool of blood.

Not far away, there were more than a dozen cold corpses lying in a mess, silently witnessing the coldness and cruelty of these rangers.

At the beginning, when attacking Rhine Town, in order to prevent Conrad from sending messengers for help, Hood specially ordered Batu to lead many rangers to patrol and guard the East Gate area.

Because of this, all messengers who attempted to leave the town to get help were intercepted by Batu and his rangers.

However, when the Rhine Town was finally breached, the cheers of victory resounded through the sky.

Batu, who originally thought that the battle had come to an end, was full of joy and prepared to lead his Rangers into the city.

However, at this moment, an accident happened.

A large group of terrified people suddenly poured out of the East Gate, and he and the Rangers happened to meet this group of people head-on.

Batu received an order to prohibit any messenger from leaving the city for help, but facing the sudden situation in front of him, he also issued an order without hesitation, not letting anyone go.

In this way, the Rangers quickly surrounded the group of people.

At the beginning, there were more than a dozen brave mercenaries and bounty hunters in the crowd. They were unwilling to surrender, picked up weapons, and tried to break through the encirclement.

Unfortunately, facing their active attack, the Rangers showed no mercy, and a dense rain of arrows shot and killed these rebels one by one.

This scene was also witnessed by other people, who were so frightened that they dared not act rashly. They put down their weapons and became obedient.

After some interrogation, Batu realized that these people were actually soldiers or residents who participated in the previous battle to defend the city.

In this case, Batu would not let them go, but he did not know how to deal with it for a while, so he sent someone to ask Hod.

"Tap tap..."

The uniform footsteps sounded, and one by one, the Vlandian soldiers walked quickly from the corridor of the East City. Orvel, the leader, nodded to Batu and immediately surrounded him with many crossbowmen.

"Hehe..."

With a sneer, Hod slowly appeared on a travel horse.
