Conrad tightly grasped the reins of Vito's horse, his face full of anxiety, his voice even trembling, and he was almost about to cry.

He begged desperately, looking at Vito with almost desperate eyes, hoping to change his decision.

Vito looked at the loyal Conrad who was about to cry, and he couldn't help feeling helpless.

He knew that Conrad was sincere to him, but at this moment he had made up his mind and would not change it easily.

So, Vito smiled bitterly and said softly: "Conrad...you hurry up...don't stop me."

"I won't! Unless you promise me not to go."

Conrad tightly grasped the reins of the horse, his hands were bulging with veins due to excessive force, he widened his eyes and stared straight at Vito in front of him, his eyes full of stubbornness.

Seeing this, Vito raised his hand helplessly and stroked his forehead, then waved his hand gently and said, "Take Conrad away first."

After hearing the order, the two knights behind Vito looked at each other, and they all showed embarrassment on their faces.

After all, Conrad was also a person they respected, but the master's order could not be disobeyed. After hesitating for a moment, they still turned over and dismounted.

When they came to Conrad's side, the two men first bowed respectfully, and then lowered their voices to apologize to Conrad softly: "Sorry, Lord Conrad, please don't blame us."

After that, they reached out and grabbed Conrad's arm, trying to pull him away from Vito.

However, Conrad still refused to let go, and kept shouting: "Lord Vito..."

He watched Vito take this opportunity to lead the soldiers to ride away quickly, and the worry on his face became more and more intense.

"You two must protect Lord Vito. If anything happens to Lord Vito, you two and your family will not have a good life!" Conrad shouted loudly, his voice full of anger and anxiety.

The two knights did not dare to neglect it, and nodded in response, then jumped on their horses and chased in the direction where Vito left.

At the same time, Hood in the manor was also explaining to Paul what to do after he left, and told him to guard the manor to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to attack.

After arranging everything, Hood turned over and rode on a travel horse, and nodded to Monkron on the city wall.

Then, the drawbridge of the outer city wall was lowered. Looking at the slowly falling drawbridge, Hood took a deep breath, and then walked out slowly with the four robber leaders of Nott and the six robbers of Batu.

At the same time, after Hood and his party left the outer city, Paul ran up to the city wall as soon as possible, and his eyes moved with the movement of Hood and others.

The robbers on the outer wall also held weapons and were ready to fight. If something went wrong, they would go out of the city to support immediately.

According to the letter, the meeting will be held at the intersection of the manor and the military camp.

When Hood led Nott, Batu and others to the agreed location, Vito was already sitting on a stool leisurely, holding a delicate wine glass in his hand, as if he was patiently waiting for the arrival of Hood and his party.

Behind Vito, two knights in heavy armor stood upright with their hands on the hilts of their swords, like two indestructible mountains.

At the same time, ten soldiers also held shields and spears, guarding Vito tightly.

About five meters away from Vito, there was another stool. Obviously, this stool was specially prepared for Hood.

There was only a crisp "whoosh..." sound, and Hod pulled the reins to stop the horse under his crotch.

He first glanced at the other people with a sharp look, and then turned over and got off the horse neatly, and walked towards the stool opposite Vito at a leisurely pace, and finally sat down steadily.

Seeing this, the four robber leaders of Nott immediately stepped forward and stood on both sides of Hod, glaring at the soldiers opposite.

The six robbers of Batu stayed not far away, holding heavy recurve bows, ready to attack at any time.

Looking at the young man sitting on the stool opposite, Hod was silent.

"Oh... So you are the leader of this gang of lawless people? You look quite young..." Vito was the first to speak and break the silence, with a slight smile on his face, and at the same time, he glanced at the four Notts beside Hod, with a hint of shock in his eyes.

The two knights and soldiers behind him also became alert when they saw Nott and his four companions.

"Master Vito looks very young..." Facing Vito's ridicule, Hod had a blank expression on his face.Just replied lightly.

"Hehe, right, I also think I am young..."

However, what Hood did not expect was that Vito became complacent after hearing this perfunctory remark.

But when Vito saw Hood staring at him with a very strange expression, he couldn't help but "click" in his heart and realized that something seemed a little wrong.

So he quickly coughed twice, quickly put away his complacent smile, and put on a serious look.

"You sent a messenger to send a message and asked me to meet you. What do you want to do? Do you want to persuade me to surrender? Or do you have other plans?"

Hood stared at Vito in front of him with a sharp gaze and asked directly.

Faced with Hood's undisguised questioning, Vito first shook his head gently, then lowered his head slightly, and fell into a brief contemplation.

After a while, he raised his head and said solemnly: "To be honest, I think you are a talent, I want you to work for me?"

"Work for you?"

Hearing this, Hood couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and looked carefully up and down at Vito, who was called the eldest son of the Marquis of Angana and the lord of Rhine Town, sitting opposite him.

He thought to himself, and really didn't understand what this person was thinking, why he suddenly said such absurd words, and dared to think of asking him to work for him.

"That's right, if you nod and agree, I will not only give you the honorable title of knight, but also reward you with Kingsley Manor and designate this place as your exclusive territory." Vito said, while slowly putting down the wine glass in his hand, his expression revealed incomparable sincerity.

However, Hood only raised his lips slightly, chuckled, and said slowly: "Master Vito... I'm afraid you have misunderstood. Even without your appointment, Kingsley Manor belongs to me..."

However, before he finished speaking, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Ding... Detected the host's new identity, military type determination:...]

Hearing this voice, Hood's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief.
