Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

While Hod and Batu were talking, an unexpected "guest" arrived outside the Lord's Hall Castle in the center of Rhine Town.

A middle-aged guard...

The middle-aged guard stood in front of the castle with a nervous look, as if he had an important mission, and looked up at the direction of the castle gate from time to time.

Not long after, the gate of the castle was opened. When the two castle guards saw the middle-aged guard coming, they immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice, and then took him directly to the main castle hall.

After entering the hall, the middle-aged guard flatteredly thanked the guards who brought him here, and then stood stiffly in the middle of the hall, waiting quietly.

His eyes looked around from time to time, as if he was full of curiosity and fear about the environment here.

Not long after, a steady and powerful footsteps came from a distance.

Then, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes and noble temperament slowly walked into the hall. His steps were steady and confident, revealing a kind of majesty and power.

Behind him were four well-equipped guards, wearing chain mail, coarse cloth robes, pointed iron helmets, short spears and oval shields. At first glance, it was clear that these guards were definitely elite.

After the middle-aged man walked into the hall, he ignored the guards standing in the corner, walked straight to the main seat and sat down.

His eyes were cold and sharp, as if he could see through everything, and the four elite guards tacitly divided into two groups, two guarding the door, and two standing on both sides of the main seat, forming a tight defense line.

The whole hall was filled with a depressing atmosphere, and people dared not speak easily.

"Lord Conrad."

The middle-aged guard walked forward cautiously, then knelt on his knees, bowed his head deeply, and his tone was full of respect and awe.

The middle-aged man called Conrad is the de facto ruler of Rhine Town. His expression is calm and indifferent, as calm as a pool of stagnant water, but he gives people an irresistible sense of majesty.

At this moment, he stared quietly at the middle-aged guard who dared not look up, and slowly asked: "What's going on?"

"As the adults guessed, they are ready to act the day after tomorrow." The middle-aged guard replied tremblingly, with a layer of fine sweat on his forehead.

After listening to the report of the middle-aged guard, Conrad's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, as if everything was within his expectations.

"Well, you go back first, Bennett, after the matter is over, I will let you replace Sam and become the new captain of the guard." Conrad's voice is still as calm as water, but the meaning contained in it makes people feel excited.

When the middle-aged guard heard this, he was overwhelmed with joy and excitement. He kowtowed repeatedly, expressing his gratitude: "Thank you, Lord Conrad."

Conrad waved his hand gently, signaling the middle-aged guard to stand up. After he stood up, he reminded him: "After you go back, keep watching them, and report to me immediately if there is any movement."

"I understand, sir." The middle-aged guard responded quickly, then lowered his head and slowly left the room.

After the middle-aged guard left, Conrad slowly stood up, walked to the window sill in the hall, put his hands behind his back, and quietly looked at the sky outside the window.

His deep eyes seemed to penetrate the clouds and see the distant sky. There was no expression on his face, but his eyes revealed deep thoughts.

"Sir, why don't you arrest those outsiders before they fight with the gangs in the town?"

At this time, an elite guard suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence. His voice was full of doubt and confusion, and he was obviously confused by Conrad's decision.

Conrad smiled slightly, turned around, looked at the guard gently, and explained softly: "After Lord Vito left, the gangs in the town became more and more unscrupulous. Isn't it good to have someone to clean up the mess for us?"

The elite guard nodded thoughtfully, with an understanding look on his face. He whispered: "So that's how it is. Lord, you are really thoughtful."

However, the other guard was still puzzled. He then asked puzzledly: "Lord, did Knight Barnett and his men disappear? This group of outsiders also did it?"

Hearing this question, Conrad's face changed slightly, and a complicated look flashed across his face. He was silent for a moment, then nodded, and said in a heavy tone: "If I guess correctly, the disappearance of Knight Barnett and his men should also be related to this group of people."

After that, the hall fell into silence again, with only a slight breathing sound echoing in the air.

Time passed by, and the room was in complete silence. Conrad suddenly spoke, breaking the suffocating silence.

His tone was unusually serious.He asked solemnly with a hint of majesty and worry on his face: "Have all the militiamen in the villages arrived?"

Hearing Conrad's question, an elite guard quickly stepped forward and answered respectfully: "Yes, sir, they have all arrived. They are temporarily arranged in a manor outside the town."

Conrad nodded slightly to show his satisfaction, but then asked again: "Then, what about the soldiers sent by Lord Vito from Kanerba Castle to support? When will they arrive?"

The elite guard thought for a while, then replied: "Based on the current situation, they will arrive around this time tomorrow."

Conrad frowned, revealing a little worry in his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Well, in this case, we must be fully prepared to prevent being noticed by those outsiders. Send someone to notify them and let them come in from the east gate."

"Yes, sir." The elite guard responded quickly.

Conrad waved his hand, signaling the guards to retreat. The guard immediately turned around and walked out of the hall.

After the guard left, Conrad returned to his seat, sat down slowly, and began to mutter to himself.

"A group of lawless people who came out of nowhere dared to take over Rhine Town while Lord Vito was away... They are really courting death..."
