Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

The sun shone on the bumpy road, and the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of golden silk.

Hod rode on a travel horse. He stood up straight and responded loudly: "I am Knight Hod. I just accepted the canonization of Lord Vito in Kanerba Castle, and now I am preparing to return to my territory."

Hearing Hod's reply, the rider showed a trace of confusion on his face, but soon recovered.

He turned over and got off the horse neatly, and then looked Hod up and down carefully.

After a moment, his tone suddenly became extremely respectful: "Respected Knight Hod, I wish you well! I am the knight squire of Lord Hannes. This time we are on the order of Lord Marquis and are going to Kanerba Castle."

"Oh? Did something happen?" Hod nodded thoughtfully, and then asked.

The rider did not dare to neglect and quickly replied: "I heard that it was the Kuyel people who launched an invasion. His Majesty the King issued an edict, ordering the lords of various places to lead their armies to quickly gather in Mirdaborg to jointly resist the attack of the Kuyel people."

"So that's the case..." Hod frowned slightly, as if he was lost in thought.

After a long time, he slowly relaxed his frown and a bright smile bloomed on his face again.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the team that was resting quietly in the distance, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Then, he asked in a gentle tone: "Excuse me, is the knight Hannes also in this team?"

The rider standing by was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently and replied truthfully: "Yes, it is Lord Hannes who led us here personally this time."

Hearing this answer, Hod smiled and continued: "Since we are all knights under the rule of Lord Marquis, I think I should go and say hello to Knight Hannes and get to know each other." While speaking, his eyes were full of sincerity and friendliness.

However, when hearing this, the rider hesitated.

But just a moment later, he quickly regained his composure and responded: "I think Lord Hannes will be very happy to see you. Please wait here for a while. I will go and inform Lord Hannes."

Before he finished speaking, the rider had already turned over swiftly and jumped onto the horse, then squeezed his legs hard on the horse's belly, and galloped towards the team not far away with a crisp sound of horse hooves.

At this moment, Hod stood quietly in place, watching the rider approaching the team from a distance.

The rider slowly walked into the team, came to a knight in heavy plate armor, leaned over and whispered something.

Not long after, the knight in plate armor immediately took action. He waved his hand, and the four or five knight attendants following behind him rode forward one after another, and the group galloped towards the direction where Hod was.

Seeing several cavalrymen wearing fine armor and riding tall horses galloping towards this side, Nott on the side saw this and quickly pulled out the javelin from his back as a conditioned reflex and held it tightly in his hand.

At the same time, he turned his head to look at Hood beside him and asked anxiously: "Boss, should we take the initiative to attack?"

"Take back the javelin! We are now regular troops, and we are no longer the criminals we used to be." Seeing Nott's almost unthinking instinctive reaction, Hood couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head helplessly.

The long-term experience as criminals made them feel the urge to fight and rob in their hearts when they saw these regular troops.

"Oh..." Hearing Hood's shout, Nott hesitated for a moment, but still obediently put the javelin in his hand back into the bag on his back.

At this time, the group of cavalrymen rushed to Hood and others in the blink of an eye.

The leading knight wore a chain mail inside and a heavy plate armor outside, and the whole person looked like an indestructible steel fortress.

Wearing a helmet, he first looked at Nott and the other four people, then looked past them and fell on Monklon and others, and finally, his eyes slowly moved to Hod.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Knight Hod. I am the lord of Pachai Village, Hannes Jean." As he spoke, the heavily armored knight stretched out his hand and slowly took off the heavy helmet on his head.

Suddenly, a rough face with a thick beard appeared in front of Hod and the others.

"Hello, Knight Hannes, I am Hod, the lord of Kingsley Manor." Hod responded with a polite smile.

"Knight Hod, I heard that you just came back from Kanerba Castle? "Hannis asked curiously.

Hod nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I just received the title in Kanerba Castle."

Hannis heard a flash of surprise in his eyes, and asked quickly: "Oh? Then don't you know the news of the invasion of the Kuyel people?"

Hod frowned, shook his head and said: "Well, I really don't know much about this. After I received the title, I rushed back without stopping. No one told me about this when I was in the castle."

Hearing Hod's answer, Hannes's expression changed slightly, as if he thought of something. Although he still had a smile on his face, his eyes unconsciously revealed a kind of indifference that kept people away from him.

"So that's the case..."

Hannis nodded thoughtfully, and then said politely: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Knight Hod. But unfortunately, I still need to rush to Kanerba Castle as soon as possible, so I can't talk to you more. Let's talk about it another day! "

After saying that, he signaled the knights and attendants around him to follow him, and turned around to prepare to return to the team.

Soon, Hannes and his group returned to the team. They walked around Hod and his group as if the encounter with Hod had never happened. Hod looked at the backs of Hannes and others leaving, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared...
