Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Seeing that even Nott, who usually showed a "simple and honest" image, nodded solemnly, the fire of anger that was originally burning in Hood's heart suddenly extinguished quietly as if it was blown by a breeze, and disappeared without a trace.

His tense face instantly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth opened, revealing a big smile, and then he sat back on the chair with a slump.

"Go and call Kuhn, Monkron and Jeff to me!" Hood laughed and ordered loudly.

When Nott and Paul heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and their eyes met, and they seemed to understand the doubts in each other's eyes.

But in the end, they decided to obey Hood's orders, so the two turned around and walked out of the reception room quickly to inform Kuhn and others.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after about ten minutes, Monkron, Kuhn and others walked into the reception room one after another.

They all lowered their heads, looked solemn, and stood aside silently, not daring to make a sound.

From their expressions and behaviors, it is not difficult to see that these people have obviously known what happened.

Hood's eyes were like torches, scanning the backbone of his team one by one.

There was always a faint smile on his face, and the inexplicable anger that surged in his heart before had completely dissipated at this moment.

"Pa pa pa..."

Hood clapped his hands lightly a few times, and the crisp applause broke the silence in the reception room.

Everyone's attention was instantly attracted by the applause, and they all raised their heads to look at Hood.

After everyone's eyes were focused on him, Hood smiled slightly, cleared his throat and said, "Okay, now everyone is here, so I have something to say next."

"I now clearly know your concerns, so at this moment, I just want to ask you, deep in your heart, do you really think that I am the kind of person who is unfeeling and fickle?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and all the robbers present looked guilty.

They subconsciously cast their eyes on Nott standing aside, their eyes full of hope and expectation, as if silently urging Nott to step forward and take the lead in responding to this thorny issue.

You know, among this group of robbers, everyone knows that Hood has always been particularly tolerant and partial to Nott.

Facing the eager eyes of everyone, Nott obviously hesitated for a moment, but finally took a deep breath and stepped forward resolutely.

His lips trembled slightly, and he was about to explain something: "...Boss, I just..."

However, before Nott could finish his words, Hood waved his hand to interrupt him: "Nott, you don't have to say anything."

After that, Hood slowly stood up, his expression extremely solemn and serious. After looking around, he read out several names in turn: "Paul, Monkron, Kuhn, Jeff, Jules."

After a pause, Hood continued: "Whether you believe what I said or not, there is one thing that is beyond doubt."

"That is, in my heart, the position you occupy will always be higher than those newly recruited Vlandia recruits."

"Since we stepped into this strange world together, it is you who have always been by my side and never left me."

"If you hadn't accompanied me all the way and shared weal and woe with me, I'm afraid I would have died in some unknown dark corner."

Paul opened his mouth and was about to speak, but saw Hood suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him.

"You are worried that your position will be threatened. I can tell you now that it will not be, and it will never be."

"Paul, you have always been the smartest of all. Why do you think so this time?"

"Let me ask you, until now, has any of the Vlandian recruits ever walked into this reception room?"

After hearing this, Paul reacted instantly.

Indeed!

If the Vlandian recruits were really valued, how could they let the robbers occupy the guarding position of Kingsley Manor and drive the Vlandian recruits to do heavy physical labor?

At this time, Hood said solemnly: "I hope to tell you frankly that in my heart, you always occupy the most important position."

"However, the reality is in front of us. If we only rely on the robbers, we have no way to survive for a long time in this dangerous world."

He paused, looked around at everyone and continued, "We will never stay here forever, and it is even more impossible to just deal with it every time.The enemy's troops are few in number."

"As the war continues to expand, Paul, Kuhn, think about it, with your current capabilities and equipment, can you and the robbers really resist the well-trained and disciplined regular army of the kingdom? "

After saying that, Hood sat down quietly, looking at the people in the reception room.

For a moment, the whole scene fell into a deathly silence.

Nott lowered his head timidly, while Paul, Kuhn and others opened their mouths wide, as if they wanted to say a few words to refute.

But in his mind, the scene of them being chased by the Vlandian soldiers on the mainland emerged, and they fled in a panic, running around everywhere. Suddenly, he felt ashamed, his face was red, and he couldn't say a word in the end.

"Boss, I understand... I was wrong..." Paul stepped forward with shame and spoke first.

Seeing this, the other people also stepped forward with a guilty look on their faces and bowed their heads to admit their mistakes.

"Don't think about it anymore in the future. You and I are not just a relationship between superiors and subordinates, you are also my brothers in life and death! "Hod said solemnly.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and then Batu ran in hurriedly: "Boss, it's not good..."
