Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

The atmosphere in the wooden house at the west gate was solemn.

Inside the house, Sam, Adam and Hod sat together to discuss the important issue of guard recruitment.

Sam spoke first, and he said seriously: "Lord Conrad has issued an order today, and he will start recruiting new guards the day after tomorrow to form the sixth, seventh and eighth guards."

"When the time comes, the mercenaries and townspeople who are willing to join the town guard will be gathered in the open space in front of the west city gate, waiting for Lord Conrad's inspection."

Hearing this news, Hood smiled coldly, with a hint of expectation in his tone: "After waiting for so long, it finally started."

However, Adam's face showed obvious hesitation. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help asking: "Do you really want to do this? If we are discovered, there will be no turning back!"

Hearing Adam's doubts, Hood narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He stared at Adam and said coldly: "Adam, are you afraid?"

At this time, the atmosphere in the room became more and more tense, as if there was an invisible pressure shrouding everyone.

Hodder secretly calculated in his heart that if Adam really chose to retreat at this critical moment, then he would not be soft-hearted and would eliminate him without hesitation.

Once someone wavered in this matter, the whole plan might fail.

As if sensing Hodder's murderous intention, Adam sighed and said, "I know, I will act according to the previous plan." His voice was helpless, which made people sweat for him.

Hearing this, the coldness in Hodder's eyes slowly dissipated, replaced by a false smile: "Adam, as long as we succeed, the whole Rhine Town will be ours in the future. At that time, we can control everything and enjoy the pleasure brought by power." His tone was full of temptation, trying to make Adam believe that their plan could succeed.

"Yes, Adam." Sam on the side also echoed, his eyes flashing with greed, as if he had seen the bright prospects of the future.

Hearing the two's advice, Adam nodded helplessly, indicating his agreement. He understood that there was no turning back now, and he could only rush forward with gritted teeth, otherwise he might not be able to survive today.

"Sam, how are you trying to win over the captains of the various guards?" Hood continued to ask.

Sam sighed, shook his head and said, "Alas, of the seven captains in the town, except for the two of us, only one captain is willing to get close to us. I really can't win over the other four!"

Hood couldn't help but frown after hearing this. He asked anxiously and puzzledly, "Can't win over? What do you mean?"

Sam took a deep breath and explained, "They are not locals in Rhine Town, but confidants brought by Lord Vito. I am worried that if I rashly win them over, it may arouse the vigilance of Lord Conrad in the castle and bring trouble to our plan, so I have never dared to try it easily."

After saying that, his face showed a worried and helpless expression.

After listening to Sam's explanation, although Hood was unwilling, he also understood that he could not change the situation at the moment.

He took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Then let's give up the four of them for the time being. When our plan succeeds, we will find a way to catch them all."

Sam nodded in agreement.

"That's the only way." He sighed with melancholy.

Afterwards, the three of them discussed some details in detail to ensure that the whole plan was foolproof. Hood and Adam slowly left the cabin, leaving Sam alone to ponder.

Looking at the two people's backs that were getting farther and farther away, Sam's eyes flashed with a strange light. He secretly thought about the next action and how to get the most benefit for himself.

At the same time, Hood seemed to have noticed something, and he suddenly looked back at Sam.

However, when he saw that Sam still had that ambitious expression, he smiled with relief, then turned around and led Monkron and others to the town without caring.

At this moment, in the tavern, Batu was sitting at a long table, eating food voraciously while boasting to the robbers who stayed in the tavern about his brilliant achievements in the wild.

After hearing Batu's story about how they encountered a caravan, but only collected some insignificant tolls and let the caravan go, the other robbers shouted and expressed their dissatisfaction with Paul's behavior.

"Paul is such a coward. If it were me, I would definitely rob that caravan without hesitation!" Nott said excitedly and complacently.

"That's right, how much combat power can a group of guards have?Didn't we successfully rob them many times when we were on the mainland before? "An elite robber said loudly, with a disdainful expression on his face.

"In my opinion, we should have acted decisively at that time, killed all the people in that caravan, and then pulled all the goods back to the manor!" Another elite robber echoed, with greed in his eyes.

"That's right, that Paul is just a coward!" Other robbers also followed suit and questioned Paul's decision.

At this time, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and Hood walked in with Monklon. Looking at the lively tavern, he laughed loudly: "What happened?"

"Boss, you are back? Humph, Batu said they met a caravan, but Paul didn't dare to do it. "Nott saw Hood's return, and hurriedly stepped forward like a child to express his dissatisfaction with Paul.

"Oh, Batu is here?"

Hood pushed Nott in front of him away and looked into the hall.

"Boss! "

Batu stood up, wiped his grease-stained hands, and answered loudly.

"Why did you come to the town?" Hood walked forward, sat down, and asked.

"Paul asked me to deliver the money we have gained during this period."

Batu explained as he took out a small wooden box from his side and put it on the table.

Hood then opened the wooden box, looked at the golden dragon and silver deer inside, estimated the approximate number, nodded, and asked: "How is the manor?"

"The original wall has been raised and reinforced, and the outer wall has been built halfway."

After Batu answered, he seemed to remember something and continued: "By the way, boss, Paul said that the wood, stone and tools shipped to the manor last time are not enough and need to be replenished. Um... there is not much food left."

"Oh, so, I will ask Monklon to purchase some later." Hood nodded.

"Okay, boss, then I will go back first. "Batu said.

"Let's go back after we finish eating."

Seeing Batu occasionally glancing at the food on the table, Hood smiled and waved his hand.

"Hehe, thank you, boss. There's not much food in the manor, and I haven't had enough to eat during this period." Batu smiled awkwardly, then sat down and continued to eat.

"Monklon, take a few people to the market." Hood turned around and said.

"Understood." Monklon responded, then waved his hand, greeted a few elite robbers, left the tavern, and walked towards the trading market.
