Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Kanerba Castle is located on a high hillside. Compared with the Rhine Town, which covers several square kilometers, Kanerba Castle is much smaller and more exquisite, and its size is only one-fifth of that of the Rhine Town.

Moreover, the architectural style of Kanerba Castle is also very different from that of the Rhine Town.

The walls of the Rhine Town are majestic and magnificent, almost entirely made of extremely solid stones, while the walls of Kanerba Castle are made of more wooden materials. Although they lack the heaviness of stone walls, they have a more rustic atmosphere.

Three days ago, the messenger sent by Vito rushed to the manor at lightning speed and informed Hood that the enthronement ceremony was ready.

After learning about this, Hood did not delay at all, and immediately led Batu, Nott and other large groups of people to Kanerba Castle without stopping.

The reason why Hood mobilized so many troops was because he was worried that Vito and Conrad would secretly play tricks in the upcoming enthronement ceremony.

To this end, he not only brought Batu's six robbers, but also four robber leaders including Nott.

In addition, there were six robber leaders including Monkron and Kuhn, as well as twenty elite robbers and twenty senior robbers.

As for Kingsley Manor, only Paul was left to lead an elite robber and twenty-three senior robbers to guard, just in case.

It is no exaggeration to say that in order to participate in this crucial knight canonization ceremony, Hood almost used up all his high-level combat power, which can be said to be a desperate bet!

Hood pulled the reins and let the mount under his crotch slowly stop, and finally stopped in a quiet grove.

Hood was seen riding a maroon travel horse, walking slowly to the edge of the woods.

He raised his head slightly and cast his eyes on the fortress on the hillside in the distance.

The walls of the fortress stood tall, and on the top of the wall were several emblem flags with the Daemon family logo, fluttering in the wind.

Hod stared at the fortress quietly, his eyes deep and sharp, as if he wanted to see through the walls and fortifications and see through all the secrets inside.

After a long period of observation, even Hod couldn't help but secretly praise the location of the fortress.

Although the terrain here is not so steep and precipitous that it is daunting, with its advantage of being in a high position, the entire fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack, giving people a feeling that it cannot be attacked by force.

Such a high-altitude terrain makes it extremely difficult for the attacking party to break through the fortress.

Unless the food and water supply channels in the fortress can be successfully cut off, it is almost difficult to make substantial progress by conventional means.

Of course, if they completely disregarded the lives of their own soldiers and adopted a human wave tactic to force the attack, there might be a glimmer of hope, but that would inevitably result in huge casualties.

Hod's thoughts were flying, and various possible combat strategies and response plans kept flashing through his mind.

However, not long after, he shook his head, smiled self-deprecatingly, and stopped thinking about it.

He gently squeezed the horse's belly and drove the mount under him slowly towards the direction of Kanerba Fort.

Batu, Nott and others who followed closely saw Hod's actions, and immediately whipped their horses and followed closely behind him.

At this moment, the guards in the fort had obviously noticed the arrival of Hod and his party.

There was only a heavy creaking sound, and the gate of the fort slowly opened, and then a well-equipped and well-trained cavalry quickly rushed out of the gate and galloped towards them.

From a distance, the eleven cavalrymen were all wearing short-sleeved mail armor, with open-faced chainmail caps on their heads, holding long lances in their hands, and the sharp spear heads shone coldly in the sun, which was frightening.

In their left hands, they also held a zither-shaped shield, on which were carved exquisite patterns and emblems, showing the glory of their families.

And one of the cavalrymen was holding a long square flag high, and the flag was fluttering in the breeze.

"Who are you?" The cavalry stopped not far away, and then a burly and resolute cavalryman rode out, staring at the front with his eyes and shouting loudly.

Facing the cavalry's harsh questioning, Hood, who was standing in the front, just raised his eyelids slightly, with a careless look on his face, and slowly said: "I am Hood..."

Hearing the name "Hood", the cavalryman who asked the question was stunned, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

But he quickly reacted, his face instantly turned respectful, he quickly turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, bowed his head and saluted: "It turns out to be Knight Hod, I didn't recognize you, I hope you will forgive me!Lord Vito and other lords have been waiting in the castle for a long time. Please follow me. "

After saying that, the cavalryman stood up, climbed onto his horse carefully, and gestured to lead the way for Hod.

Hod nodded slightly, without saying much, but turned around and waved to the people behind him, then tapped his legs lightly.

Seeing this, the robbers such as Batu and Nott beside him followed closely.

The group followed these cavalrymen and headed straight for the Kanerba Castle on the hillside.

As they got closer and closer to Kanerba Castle, the outline of the castle gradually appeared clearly in front of everyone.

The five-meter-high wall is made of huge wood and stone. There is a watchtower at every distance on the wall. On the tower stood a sergeant holding a crossbow and a solemn expression.

They stared at the movement below, as if they were ready to bend their bows and arrows and give the enemy a fatal blow if they found any abnormal situation.

"Head? "Monklon glanced upward. After this glance, he seemed to be alert in his heart, and his pace unconsciously quickened.

He walked quickly to Hood's side and said in a low voice: "Should we be prepared..."

Hood narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully looked at the sergeant holding a bow and crossbow on the watchtower. He nodded and responded softly: "Let everyone be vigilant..."

Monklon nodded in understanding, indicating that he understood Hood's meaning.

He quickly turned back to the team and conveyed Hood's instructions to everyone .

The atmosphere of the whole team suddenly became solemn, everyone clenched their weapons and watched the movements on the castle wall vigilantly.

At the same time, at the gate of the city, Conrad was leading two knights in heavy armor to stand quietly.

Their eyes were always fixed on Hood and his group who were walking slowly.

When Conrad's eyes fell on the group of robbers behind Hood, his pupils suddenly shrank and his face showed a solemn look.

After thinking for a moment, he came to Hood and smiled: "Welcome, Knight Hood."

Hood turned over and dismounted, looking at the instigator who drove him out of Rhine Town, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, but it was gone in a flash.

He walked forward quickly and laughed exaggeratedly: "Lord Conrad... I didn't expect that you would come to greet us..."
