Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Rhine Town, the northwest slum.

This is the gathering place of the poor, where all the vagrants, beggars, bankrupt small businessmen, and landless self-employed farmers in the town gather.

The messy shacks, the smelly air, and the ragged and lifeless residents all form a sharp contrast with the crowded trading market and the vibrant commercial district.

When Hood brought Nott and two veteran robbers here, they were immediately shocked by the scene before them.

The streets were narrow and dirty, the houses were dilapidated, and there was garbage and sewage everywhere. People wore tattered clothes, their faces were haggard, and their eyes revealed despair and helplessness.

At this moment, they saw several thin beggars fighting for a piece of black and moldy bread.

These beggars were starving, but they still pushed and fought each other desperately, trying to grab that small piece of food, perhaps this was the food they could eat in a day.

The bread was torn into pieces in their hands and fell to the ground, but they didn't mind and continued to fight for the crumbs.

"Oh my God!" Nott couldn't help but exclaimed. He had never seen such a poor scene, even on the continent in the game.

Hod frowned, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He knew that these people were the vulnerable groups at the bottom of society, with a hard life and struggling for survival every day.

However, he also understood that this was reality, the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, and only the strong could gain a foothold in this world.

"Let's go." Hod whispered, and then led everyone out into the depths of the slums. They carefully avoided the beggars and thieves with green eyes to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

In this place, violence and robbery have been happening all the time, and they must remain vigilant.

As they went deeper into the slums, the surrounding environment became worse and worse, the streets became narrower, the light became dim, and the air was filled with unpleasant odors.

Occasionally, a few pedestrians passed by, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look up and around, for fear of provoking someone they couldn't afford to offend.

Hod stopped and looked around. He found that the houses here had almost no windows, the walls were peeling, the roofs were leaking, and some residents sat at the door, staring blankly ahead, as if they had lost hope.

"This is really a desperate place." A senior robber sighed.

Hod nodded in agreement. He suddenly realized that the lives of these people were more difficult than he had imagined.

But he did not give up his plan because of this. Instead, he made up his mind more firmly, because Hod knew clearly that if he did not deal with Roy, he might live worse than these people. At least they were still alive, while he and the robbers might die.

"Okay, let's get started." Hod whispered to others, "Be careful and don't alarm anyone."

They quietly approached a low house that looked more dilapidated. Hod gently pushed open the door, and it was dark inside.

They walked in carefully, groping for their target. Suddenly, a scream broke the silence.

"Who?" a woman shouted in horror.

Hod and others were startled and hid quickly. After a while, the woman's voice came again: "Who are you? Why did you break into my house?"

Hod took a deep breath and replied calmly: "We are just looking for someone and will not hurt you. Don't worry."

The woman was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Who? I am the only one at home."

Hod heard that her tone was full of fear and helplessness, and his heart softened. However, in order to find someone as soon as possible, he asked directly:

"Danny the wolfdog, do you know this person? Where is he? If you can help us find him, I will give you some rewards." Hod tried to make his voice sound gentler.

The woman hesitated for a moment, then said: "Okay, I can help you look for it, but what if I can't find it?"

Hod smiled and comforted her, saying: "It doesn't matter. If we can't find it, we will leave and won't disturb you for too long."

The woman nodded and walked out of the low shed that was emitting a foul smell and was about to collapse.

Hod and the others stayed at the door and waited quietly, hoping to find the person they needed as soon as possible.

"Boss, can that Danny do it?" Nott walked to Hod and asked in a low voice.

"Since Adam said he is a good fighter, it should be possible. Even if not, we will do it ourselves." Hod thought for a while and said.

Nott nodded.

Before coming to the slums this time, Adam, Sam, and Hod had discussed how many people to find to assassinateRoy, in the end, the three of them agreed that the fewer people, the better, and the fewer people, the less likely they would be exposed.

And Adam also proposed a suitable candidate, that is, the "wolf dog" Danny that Hood and others came here to find.

According to Adam, this wolf dog Danny was once a retired veteran. After retiring, he became a killer who took money to do things. He had many mercenaries and bounty hunters on his hands. As long as the employer paid, he could complete the employer's needs, and he never failed.

But in the last mission, the employer behind him shook hands with the enemy, and he was also broken a leg by the people sent by both sides. From then on, he could only live in the slums.

Time passed by minute by minute, and I don’t know how long it took, the woman finally ran back panting.

"Found it."

The woman panted and said, "I found where he is, but you have to give me money first before I can take you there."

Hod didn't waste any words, and directly took out 10 copper sheep and handed them to the woman. The woman held the copper sheep tightly, looked at Hod and the other four gratefully and said, "Thank you, thank you, I will take you there now."

After that, she turned and walked towards the intersection not far away. Hod winked at Nott and the other three, signaling them to be alert, and then followed the woman.

After a while, the woman stopped, pointed to the intersection ahead, and whispered, "My lord, Danny is in front."

"Thank you, ma'am." Hod smiled, and then took out a silver deer from his arms and put it in the woman's dirty hand: "I hope this silver deer can make your life better."

The woman held the silver deer tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She bowed deeply to Hod to thank him, and then turned back to her shabby house.

Hod looked at the direction the woman left and nodded to a senior robber. The senior robber understood and followed immediately.

"Is it really right for us to do this?" another senior robber asked, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.

Hod sighed and said, "I don't know, but we have no choice. For our safety, we can't leave any hidden dangers."

"Shut up, Jules, the head is for all of us." Nott glared at the senior robber fiercely and scolded in a low voice.

At this moment, Hod's eyes fell on the beggar lying on the ground at the intersection with a wooden stick and a broken bowl in front of him.

"Go over..."

Hod took a step towards the beggar, and Nott and the senior robber followed behind him.

"Hello, wolfdog Danny."

Hod walked up to the disheveled beggar, wearing tattered clothes and emitting a foul smell, and bent down and whispered.

Hearing this name, the beggar who had been motionless slowly raised his head and looked at Hood with turbid eyes.

"Who are you?" A dry and hoarse voice sounded from the beggar's mouth.

Hood looked at the skinny beggar and whispered: "Your employer..."

"I don't do that kind of thing anymore... You got the wrong person..." Although he didn't directly admit the name, the beggar's words also indirectly indicated that he was Danny.

"Hehe, the once famous wolfdog Danny, now he has become a poor guy who can only rely on others' charity. Is this the life you want?" Hood stood up and said slowly.

Hearing this, Danny's body couldn't help but pause, and then he lay down again, ignoring Hood and the other two in front of him, and closed his eyes directly.

"Let's go, Nott, we got the wrong person, this is a waste." Hood said, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Who are you going to kill?"

Before walking ten meters, a hoarse voice suddenly came from behind.

Hod paused, a smile appeared on his face, and he turned around and looked at Danny who stood up: "A captain of the town guard."

Danny was silent for a while, and said: "1 gold royal."

"Deal."

When Hod walked out of the slums, there was a beggar who walked with a limp behind him...
