Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Hod knocked his legs lightly, and the travel horse immediately moved its hooves and slowly came to the caravan leader.

"Are you from Costa?" Hod raised his eyebrows, looked at the dusty caravan in front of him with interest, and asked.

The caravan leader quickly put one hand on his chest, bowed deeply, and then saluted Hod respectfully, and then replied slowly: "Dear Knight, as you can see, we are from Costa."

After hearing the affirmative answer from the caravan leader, Hod nodded slightly, and then his eyes fell on the carriages full of supplies.

He squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the tightly wrapped goods, as if he wanted to peek through the layers of linen to see the value of them.

Hod squinted slightly, thinking about whether to take action directly and rob the caravan, but in the end he gave up the idea.

If the matter is exposed, his knight title may be taken back by Vito, and this may cause the system to re-identify his identity, thus causing the new soldier tree of Vlandia to be banned.

After a long while, the corners of Hood's mouth suddenly rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile, and then he turned his eyes back to the caravan leader and asked: "So, I want to know what your name is?"

The caravan leader did not dare to neglect it, and hurriedly lowered his head again, and replied respectfully: "My name is Bach, just an insignificant little person."

"Bach..." Hood repeated the name thoughtfully in a low voice, and then waved to him gently, indicating that he should come forward.

Seeing Hood's actions, Bach's heart instantly rose to his throat.

You know, these nobles have always been moody, and they may be killed if they are not careful.

Although he was uneasy, he did not dare to disobey the other party's order, so he had to bite the bullet and walk towards Hod carefully.

Every step he took, he felt like he was stepping on the tip of a knife, and his legs couldn't help but feel weak.

After finally coming to Hod, he lowered his head, not daring to breathe, and said in a low voice: "Sir Knight... I don't know why you called me here?"

"Bach, you transported these supplies from the distant Costa Town. Along the way, you must have encountered the greedy eyes of those lawless people." Hod said with a smile and a calm tone.

Hearing this, Bach, who was still a little afraid in his heart, somehow, suddenly seemed to be ignited with anger, and an irrepressible resentment suddenly emerged from his heart.

He actually raised his head and said aggrievedly: "You are right, sir. This journey was simply a nightmare! We encountered countless robbers and bandits, each of whom wanted to take our goods for themselves."

Speaking of this, he sighed deeply, as if he wanted to spit out all his helplessness and fatigue with this breath.

Then, he continued: "In order to protect this batch of goods to reach the destination safely, the guards and mercenaries under my command paid a painful price. Many brothers fell in a pool of blood and could never stand up again..." At this point, Bach's voice couldn't help but choke a little, and his eyes were slightly red.

After a pause, Bach continued, "And the reason why we chose this route was after careful investigation."

"We found that the criminals in this area are much rarer than in other places, and it can be said that they are almost extinct..."

At this point, Bach seemed to suddenly realize something, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face. He subconsciously lowered his voice and asked Hod in a tone full of doubt: "Sir, could it be that all the criminals in this area have been wiped out by you?"

Wow? This guy's brain is pretty fast!

Hod stared at the slightly cunning caravan leader in front of him with interest, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

However, Huode nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Yes, those lawless people have been completely wiped out by me. No lawless people are allowed to exist in my territory. As the lord of this land, I should protect the safety of the people."

Hearing this, Bach was stunned on the spot, and didn't know how to respond for a while. After a long time, he sighed as if waking up from a dream, and said with deep emotion: "If every lord can care for the people like you, how great it would be!"

But Batu on the side, AhAfter hearing what Huode said, the corners of the eyes of several Shilan captors kept twitching. It was not until Huode inadvertently glared at them that they turned their heads away, fearing that Bach would notice the unnaturalness on their faces.

"Forget it, since it is a misunderstanding, then you can leave. I hope you can arrive at Kanerba Castle safely." Huode showed a trace of concern on his face.

"Thank you for your concern, sir!" Bach heard the words and bowed to express his gratitude.

At this moment, Huode, who had just turned around and was about to leave, seemed to suddenly remember something important, and suddenly tightened the reins and reined in the strong travel horse under his crotch.

He slowly turned his head and reminded, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that other lords are not like me who will clear out the lawless criminals in their territories. There are still many robbers and bandits in their territories. I think you'd better be careful."

After saying that, Hod was ready to urge his horse forward again, but strangely, the horse under his crotch seemed to be a little staggering at this moment, as if it was unwilling to leave quickly.

"Ah..."

When Bach heard the news, a trace of worry gradually emerged on his weather-beaten face.

Yes, so many guards were lost along the way, but there is still a distance to Kanerba Castle.

And his caravan now has only 20 to 30 people who can fight in the battle. If they are unfortunate enough to encounter lawless criminals in other territories, it will be difficult to resist with only the current manpower.

Thinking of this, Bach's heart sank.

He raised his head and looked at the figures of Hod and others who were not far away in front of him. Time passed by minute by minute. After a fierce ideological struggle, Bach finally seemed to have made up his mind and gritted his teeth.

Then, he took a big step without hesitation and ran towards the direction where Hod was.

"Please wait... Sir Knight..." Bach shouted loudly while running.

He came to Hod panting. At this time, he didn't care about adjusting his breathing. After taking a look at the six sturdy captors holding heavy recurve bows behind Hod, he had a plan in mind.

Bach took a deep breath and said to Hod, who was deliberately showing a puzzled look: "Sir Knight, I am really sorry. I have an unreasonable request. I know that this may offend your majesty, but in order to ensure the safety of life and property of everyone in the caravan, I have to dare to make this request to you."

"I can ask you to send some soldiers to escort us to complete the next journey. Of course, please rest assured, in return, I will definitely give you a generous reward that will satisfy you."

After saying this, Bach looked at Hod anxiously, waiting for his response.

Hearing this long-awaited sentence from Bach, Hod's mouth curled slightly, and then returned to normal, wondering: "Oh? Do you want to hire my soldiers?"

"Yes, Sir Knight." Bach secretly glanced at Batu and others, and then quickly lowered his head.
