Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Looking at the caravan leader who looked older and honest, Hod narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "I have hundreds of well-trained and brave soldiers under my command."

"If you are willing to pay a reasonable and generous reward, I can order them to escort you all the way to ensure that you can arrive at Kanerba Castle safely."

When Bach heard the words "hundreds", he couldn't help but raise his head suddenly, his eyes widened, and his eyes revealed an unconcealable surprise.

He really didn't expect that the young knight standing in front of him actually commanded such a large number of troops.

Could this person be a trusted confidant of the Marquis?

Such a thought flashed through Bach's mind, but he quickly suppressed it.

After all, for Bach, no matter what kind of complicated relationship and background Hood has behind him, it doesn't matter at all.

The most critical issue at the moment is how to smoothly transport this batch of precious goods to Kanerba Castle intact.

"Sir, to be honest, we don't need too many soldiers to accompany us, only thirty are enough." Bach calmed down and answered respectfully.

"Thirty?" Hood pondered for a moment, as if thinking about something.

"Yes, sir, thirty fully armed soldiers, plus our guards, are enough to ensure the safety of our trip." Bach hurriedly added an explanation.

"Well, in that case, then okay, I will arrange these thirty soldiers according to your requirements, let them join your caravan as soon as possible, and escort you, but..."

At this point, Hood deliberately dragged out his tone and stared straight at Bach.

"As for the specific remuneration, how much do you plan to pay?" Hod looked at Bach and asked with a smile.

"......Sir, I think 5 gold royals should be a suitable price." Bach said cautiously, his eyes fixed on Hod, fearing that the other party would be angry because of this offer.

"5 gold royals? Are you kidding me?"

Hearing Bach's offer, Hod's face suddenly darkened, his eyes narrowed into a slit, revealing a dangerous light, and his voice was full of dissatisfaction: "Do you know how dangerous it is to escort you? There are so many lawless people in the wild. If a battle really happens, my soldiers are likely to suffer casualties. Are they only worth 5 gold royals?"

Faced with Hod's questioning, Bach's heart tightened, and a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

But thinking that all this money would have to come out of his own pocket, he still gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to continue explaining: "Sir, a 10-man mercenary group can be hired for less than 1 gold royal a week..."

"Besides, we are not far from Kanerba Castle now. According to the normal itinerary, there are only less than three or four days left. For such a distance, 5 gold royals are really not a small amount." Bach said tremblingly, resisting the urge to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Hod frowned slightly as he listened to Bach's words and fell into deep thought.

He recalled that when he was in Rhine Town before, the hiring price of those mercenaries in Rhine Town was indeed as Bach said. After all, it is not always possible to encounter a situation like the encirclement and suppression of the robbers in the Canyon Wood Castle, where wealthy businessmen are willing to spend a lot of money to hire.

Thinking of this, his expression eased a little, but he was still not satisfied with the offer of 5 gold royals.

At this moment, Hod's eyes suddenly turned, as if he had thought of something, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

"Bach, you said before that the military supplies were transported to Kanerba Castle this time, right?" Hod asked with a smile, seemingly casual.

Seeing Hod suddenly change the subject, Bach secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, sir. It's some military supplies."

Hod nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then a kind smile appeared on his face again, and he said slowly: "Bach, I want to ask you, do you buy weapons and equipment?"

Hearing this, Bach couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and for a moment he couldn't fully understand the meaning of Hod's words.

After hesitating for a while, he asked cautiously and softly: "Sir, do you have extra weapons and equipment to sell?"

Hod nodded without hesitation and admitted: "Yes."

You know, there are a lot of spoils in his backpack and in the manor, and these spoilsThey are all weapons and equipment.

Not only do they take up a lot of space, but the robbers and the new recruits of Valandia cannot use these equipment at all.

Rather than leaving them idle, it is more practical to sell them for money.

Sometimes Hood is really annoyed by this updated system. Otherwise, these weapons and equipment horses can be equipped to the newly recruited Valandia recruits to improve their combat effectiveness.

"Sir, can I take a look first? If you are willing to sell them, I will definitely buy them, and they can just be sent to Kanerba Castle together. I believe they can be sold at a good price." Bach said in a restrained tone.

"Of course there is no problem." Hood smiled and nodded in response.

Seeing this, Bach hurriedly bowed respectfully to Hood, and then turned and walked towards the caravan.

After a while, he returned to the team and told them to wait here. After making all the arrangements, he quickly selected several strong guards and followed Hood into the manor.

After entering the manor, Hood led Bach directly to an unfinished wooden house.

Compared with the houses where the robbers lived in the surrounding area, this wooden house was larger, and inside this wooden house were all kinds of weapons and equipment that Hood had seized through fierce battles since he crossed over here.

The dazzling array of weapons was dazzling, including long swords, battle axes, short spears, shields, etc.

"Go in and take a look." Hood slightly turned sideways to make way for Bach.

Bach nodded, and then slowly walked into the house. Under the gaze of Hood and several others, he first reached out and selected a few weapons from the many weapons, holding them in his hands and repeatedly examining and rubbing them.

After a long while, he gently put down the weapon in his hand, looked at other weapons, and finally came to Hood after hesitating for a moment.
